Bonding to a New Place Never Visited─Exploring the Relationship Between Landscape Element and Place Bonding
No full text地方連結為使用者與環境地點經過長時間互動所產生的特殊的認同與價值情感。一般研究多認為地方連結需要人與環境經過長時間互動才能產生；雖然有少數文獻指出人們有可能會對一個新的地點有特殊情感，但對於此種連結發生的原因則較少有深入的討論。過去文獻提及對一個陌生的地點的連結的例子，同時也有文獻指出人們常利用放置特定元素，藉以消除對地點的陌生感。本研究主旨為探討特定景觀元素的介入，是否能提高特定族群的地方連結感。
為了解新地點置入特定景觀元素後能提升地方連結感，本研究利用不同生長經驗受測者，來探討加入特定景觀元素前後之連結反應。研究對象為澳門僑生與台灣學生。特定景觀元素分為澳門、台灣元素，各5類；並分別將10種特定元素置入國外景觀照片。本研究問卷之照片分為2組，分別為置入5類澳門元素前後共10張；5類台灣元素前後共10張(以下簡稱為MG組與TG組)。研究結果顯示澳門組受測者對MG組照片配對樣本檢定，加入景觀元素後地方連結感顯著高於加入前；而台灣組對MG組照片加入景觀元素前後地方連結感則無顯著差異。台灣組受測者對TG組照片加入元素後地方連結感顯著高於加入元素前；而澳門組受測者僅對加入一種景觀元素後有顯著較高的地方連結感。由研究結果可知在新地點中加入特定景觀元素，能有效提升特定生長經驗族群的地方連結感；反之對於沒有這些生長經驗的人則無效果。研究結果支持文獻所提出人們可能對未訪過地點有地方連結感；即生長經驗對特定景觀的連結有可能延續至未造訪地點，主要是由對另一個地點的過去使用經驗為基礎而產生。本研究結果將可應用在觀光遊憩之規劃與設計上，特別是在適當的地點給予喚起地方連結的元素，未來應用在遊憩體驗會有較大的成效。Place bonding is a special affective connection with a specific place. It has become an important concept in environment management for recognizing the emotional and symbolic values of places, rather than physical commoditized values. Although the concept has been studied for almost four decades, the process of boding development to a new place is still unclear. Many studies, especially community related, stated that bonding with a place can be formed only through a long period of interaction. Literature also indicated that place bonding is positively related with past experience, possessiveness of place, or involvement. However, people may not have totally no feeling to a new place. Many researchers have indicated that people might have strong bonding to places that never visit or to a type of places (rather than a specific place). Since people have no past using experience with such places, one of the possible reasons is the bond was transferred or projected from other experiences. The past experience would be arousal by specific landscape element(visual cue). It is the purpose of the current study to understand the relationship between landscape element and the continuity of place bonding .
A photo-based internet survey was conducted for the purpose of current study. Photos were taken in Europe, America, and other countries. Photos were altered digitally by specific landscape element(from study2). Respondents from two different countries, Taiwanese and Macanese, were asked to provide their feelings of bonding to the place depicted in 20 photos(altered before and after). Preliminary results showed that Macanese have higher bonding toward the places in the pictures altered digitally by Macau landscape element. Taiwanese have similar result toward the Taiwan landscape element, even though the respondents have no idea where the places are. The results indicated that the forming of bonding to a new place is based on the past experiences of other places. The results provided important supports for the methodology of place research, especially for the tourists’ bonding/attachment to places
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Full text linkWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used

Author Under Sail The Imagination of Jack London, 1893-1902
No full textIn Author Under Sail, Jay Williams offers the first complete literary biography of Jack London as a professional writer engaged in the labor of writing. It examines the authorial imagination in London's work, the use of imagination in both his fiction and nonfiction, and the ways he defined imagination in the creative process in his business dealings with his publishers, editors, and agents. In this first volume of a two-volume biography, Williams traverses the years 1893 to 1902, from London's "Story of a Typhoon" to The People of the Abyss. The Jack London who emerges in the pages of Author Under Sail is a writer whose partnership with publishers, most notably his productive alliance with George Brett of Macmillan, was one of the most formative in American literary history. London pioneered many author models during the heyday of realism and naturalism, blurring the boundaries of these popular genres by focusing on absorption and theatricality and the representation of the seen and unseen. London created an impassioned, sincere, and extremely personal realism unlike that of other American writers of the time. Author Under Sail is a literary tour de force that reveals the full range of London as writer, creative citizen, and entrepreneur at the same time it sheds light on the maverick side of machine-age literature.Intro -- Title Page -- Copyright Page -- Dedication -- Contents -- Acknowledgments -- Introduction -- 1.
