    農林漁牧業普查是政府的重要基本國勢調查之一,自民國45年首次創辦後,已建立每隔五年舉辦一次之規定,而林業普查至79年始自農業普查獨立出,並與農林漁牧業普查同時進行。2005年政府編列2億5000萬元預算來進行農林漁牧業普查,足見政府對農林漁牧業普查之重視。惟調查台灣林業政策之研究,發現竟鮮少有學者對林業普查資料庫作深入調查與分析。故本研究利用2005年之林業普查資料庫,對台灣六萬餘家林戶使用羅吉斯迴歸分析法,以及對三百餘個鄉鎮進行迴歸分析法,研究全台灣林戶或鄉鎮參加造林獎勵計畫之因素。 以林戶為單位之結果顯示,有利於林主參加造林獎勵計畫的因素為:高齡、高教育程度、有自營農牧業、屬原住民鄉、該縣市薪資水準較低、勞動人數較多、林地面積大、自有林地面積比例高、竹林面積比例低、以及其他林業收入低。而以鄉鎮為單位之結果顯示,有利於參加造林獎勵計畫比例的因素為:男性比例較高、屬原住民鄉、地區北部之「市、鎮、區」、中部及南部之「鄉」地區、勞動人數較多、林地面積大、自有林地面積比例高、竹林面積比例低以及其他林業收入低。 整體而言,兩統計方法具一致性,此結果顯示研究相同資料的結論,不會因研究方法的差異而有所不同。Agricultural, Forestry, Fishery and Husbandry Census (AFFHC) which has been held every 5 years since being established in 1956 is one of the important Basic National Census and Survey. Forestry Census has been conducted separately from other census which has been carried out at the same time since 1990. In 2005, the government drew up a 250- million NT budget for AFFHC; this shows the importance that the Government has placed on the census. However, an investigation of Taiwan forestry policy research found out only a few scholars use the database of Forestry census for further research and analysis. Therefore this study using the database of Forestry census in 2005 on more than 60,000 forest owners use logistic regression, and more than three hundred rural use regression, research on the factors that Taiwan’s forest owner or town participating afforestation award. Based on forest owner as units of results show that factors that are in favor of forest owner participate in afforestation award: elders, high education level, an aboriginal village, self-run agriculture and husbandry, lower salary level, sufficient labors, woodland area, higher private woodland area proportion , lower bamboo area ratio, and lower other forestry income. As village in units of results, factors that in favor of participate in afforestation award: higher male ratio, an aboriginal village, northern region with higher urbanization, middle or southern region with lower urbanization, sufficient labors, higher woodland area size,higher private woodland area ratio, lower bamboo area ratio, and lower others forestry income. As a whole, the two statistic methods show consistencies; this result shows that the research of same data will not be different by the statistic methods

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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 link
    We 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 text
    We 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 text
    In 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.
