Mark Lee Ping-Bing a jeho filmy
No full textThis thesis examines the cinematic oeuvre of Mark Lee Ping-Bing, a prominent Taiwanese cinematographer of great significance in contemporary times. By conducting an in-depth analysis of his film collaborations with director Hou Hsiao-Hsien, this research demonstrates how Mark Lee's distinctive aesthetic philosophy about cinematography and visual style has manifested in his collaborations with various international directors, thus making a substantial contribution to the evolution of cinematography aesthetics, particularly in the decades following the Taiwanese New Wave cinema movement.Tato diplomová práce zkoumá filmové dílo Marka Lee Ping-Binga, významného tchajwanského kameramana současnosti. Prostřednictvím hloubkové analýzy jeho filmových spoluprací s režisérem Chou Siao-Sienem tato studie ukazuje výraznou estetickou filozofii Marka Leeho, která se týká kinematografie a vizuálního stylu, a to, jak se projevila v jeho spolupracích s různými mezinárodními režiséry, a významně tak přispěla k vývoji filmové estetiky zejména v desetiletích po tchajwanské nové vlně

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe 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
Healing experiences of women survivors of childhood sexual abuse / Chen Lee Ping
Get PDFThis study aimed to explore and gain an in-depth understanding of the healing experiences encountered by Malaysian women survivors who had gone through childhood sexual abuse. A qualitative research using transcendental-phenomenological research design was used to explore the healing experiences encountered by 7 women survivors with a history of childhood sexual abuse. The process of collecting data involved 3 stages of in-depth interview sessions with each of the survivors. A total of 21 in-depth interview sessions were carried out with each session ranging from 40 to 100 minutes. The method of data analysis was based on Moustakas’s (1994) phenomenology data analysis. Outcome of this study unveiled 9 themes of healing
experiences encountered by the 7 women survivors. Among the 9 themes of healing, 5 themes were the healing processes the women survivors had gone through in their healing journey. They were: “confronted with struggles,” “channels to express and reflect,” “forgiveness,” “acceptance,” and “let go and move on.” The other 4 themes were the healing contributors: “receive social support,” “helping self (resiliencies),” “helping other,” and “spirituality.” The study revealed women survivors had gone through several healing processes in the journey of recovering from childhood sexual abuse. A smooth healing process required the presence of the healing contributors, which played a significant role in facilitating the healing processes. Healing processes and healing contributors are interconnected and both worked hand in hand to assist
women survivors to obtain healing from childhood sexual abuse. Research outcomes provide additional insights into understanding healing from childhood sexual abuse, in
particular from the women survivors’ perspective. Implications of the study to helping professionals and future researchers are discussed

No full textA blowfly-derived dna approach to assess diversity of tropical mammals / Lee Ping Shin
Get PDFMost tropical mammal species are threatened or data-deficient. Data collection is impeded by traditional monitoring approaches which can be laborious, expensive and struggle to detect cryptic diversity. Monitoring approaches using mammal DNA derived from invertebrates, in particular blowfly-derived DNA, have recently been suggested as alternatives to traditional field methods. As a step towards development of blowfly-derived DNA as an effective method for mammal monitoring in Peninsular Malaysia, my research objectives are: (i) to determine the persistence period of amplifiable mammal mtDNA in blowfly guts; (ii) to design and test primers that can selectively amplify mammal COI DNA mini-barcodes in the presence of high concentrations of blowfly DNA; (iii) to determine the dispersal range of blowflies in forests; (iv) to calibrate the performance of blowfly-derived mammal DNA at generating species inventories and richness estimates against traditional methods: cage trapping, mist netting, hair trapping and scat collection in the field; (v) to calibrate the performance of blowfly-derived DNA at generating species inventories and richness estimates against the most popular method to assess megafaunal diversity - camera trapping in the field. The persistence period of amplifiable mammal DNA in blowfly guts was in the range of 24 h to 96 h post-feeding indicating the need for retrieving flies within 24 h of capture to detect mammal mtDNA in sufficient quantity and quality. A short (205 bp) mammal COI DNA mini-barcode, suitable for high-throughput sequencing, could distinguish most mammal species (including separating dark taxa). The daily dispersal range of Chrysomya spp. blowflies suggests that individuals contributing blowfly-derived DNA would have been within 3 km the location where blowflies were collected over 24 h period. The field study in Ulu Gombak Forest Reserve that calibrated the performance of blowfly-derived mammal DNA against traditional methods (cage traps, mist nets, hair traps, and scat collection) over 1,440 trap days revealed that blowfly traps and mist nets detected the joint highest number of wild mammal species (6 species), and only one species was detected by multiple methods. Compared to traditional field methods, blowfly-derived DNA detected both volant and non-volant species from wider body size ranges. In Tembat Forest Reserve with megafauna, calibration of blowfly-derived DNA against camera traps, the most popular method in megafaunal diversity assessment, blowfly-derived DNA detected more species (n=11) than camera traps (n=9) across 1,200 trap days, with only one species detected by both methods. With further calibration, blowfly-derived DNA may join the list of traditional field methods
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“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
