[[alternative]]A Study on the Role and Functioning of a Liaison Between the Bureau of Education of a County/City Government and its Council
No full text[[abstract]]Abstract
The purpose of this study is to find out, in the present ecology of local politics in Taiwan, how important it is to appoint a liaison between the bureau of education of a county/city government and its council as well as how such liaisons operate currently. By addressing such issues as the functions of a liaison, his roles, his current operations, his operation strategies and his difficulties, this study hopes to provide some information for the bureau of education of a county/city government to refer to when establishing a complete liaison mechanism between the county/city government and its council so as to facilitate the implementation of local education.
According to the purpose of this study, interviews and surveys have been conducted. From them, altogether the following eight conclusions are drawn:
1.It is important to appoint a liaison between the bureau of
education of a county/city government and its council.
Besides, this liaison plays a significant role in promoting
the relationship between the county/city government and the
council.
2.At present, in most cases, the bureau of education of a
county/city government will appoint a particular official in
the bureau to hold the concurrent post of liaison between
the council and itself. And the vast majority of such
liaisons are male.
3.This liaison has the following eight main functions. Among
them, the most important function, which also brings a
liaison the heaviest workload, is to assist the director
when he (she) is being interpellated at the council and help
gather information. The most difficult function is to
maintain the budget.
4.A liaison may play many different roles, including
messenger, communicator, coordinator, buffer, lubricant,
policy-marketer, adviser and servant.
5.When a county or city councilor has cases which have been
submitted by his (her) constituency and which are related to
the bureau of education, the number one person that the
councilor will go to and seek help from is the director and
the number two person is the liaison.
6.In dealing with the cases entrusted by councilors, the
liaison adopts certain strategies. Moreover, when the
matter entrusted by a councilor cannot be accomplished, the
liaison should take the initiative to sincerely explain the
reasons to the councilor. When a liaison is about to face
interpellation or review of budgets and bills at the
council, the best strategy for him to adopt is that, before
the council’s session starts, he and the director should
visit the councilors privately in order to know the
councilors’ opinions and to show their sincerity and
respect. In personal interactions with a councilor, the
best strategy a liaison can adopt is that he himself may
make use of proper occasions to praise this councilor in the
presence of his (her) constituency about how well he (she)
has been supervising the government and about how much
concern he (she) has shown about education.
7.Concerning the qualifications of a liaison, the following
factors can be taken into consideration: appearance,
character, attitude towards work, skills and expertise.
8.Among all the officials in the bureau of education, the
ideal persons to hold the concurrent post of liaison are the
deputy director, a section chief, a specialist, and a
schools’ supervisor. Among them, the deputy director is
still the best choice.
According to the above-mentioned conclusions, the sixteen suggestions are made for the bureaus of education of all county/city governments to refer to when they continue to improve the linking between the county/city government and the council in future.
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
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
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe 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
Get PDFWe 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
