Factors affecting the volunteer enlisted soldiers on recruiting and retention policy
No full text中文摘要 隨著社會發展需求，政黨競選政見的落實與立法院的修法，台灣兵役制度從「徵兵制」、「徵募併行」，到朝向「募兵制」法制化的發展後，以招募志願士兵為基層兵力為主的兵役制度已成為事實。惟，針對招募志願士兵的成效、志願士兵留營問題，目前仍充滿著不確定變因存在。 基於上述背景，本文對於現行影響志願士兵招募變因，及政府因應募兵問題，提出改善志願士兵招募及留營政策措施之成效，認為有進一步探討與研究之必要。因此，在整理及分析有關台灣兵役制度發展、志願士兵招募與留營等相關文獻後，利用「深度訪談法」與「焦點團體法」，分別蒐集曾擔任管理志願士兵之軍官幹部，及曾任志願士兵者，提出對影響志願士兵招募與留營因素的看法。 本研究發現，影響志願士兵招募因素，分別以：「待遇」、「招募方式」、「招募管道」及「政府態度」為主要因素。而在招募成效方面，除軍方本身文宣與招募人員主動出擊外，尚包括來自鄰里、親朋好友間對從軍口碑的傳播。在招募方式方面，除傳統文宣外，必須思考在面對數位匯流之趨勢時，是否應利用網路傳播的「觸媒」，擴增招募宣傳的「觸角」，是受訪對象認為有必要思考的方向。另，「政府態度」亦為影響志願士兵招募成效主因。 在影響志願士兵留營因素方面，當服兵役從義務成為自由選擇的職業後，服役職場的「自由」、「勤務」、「壓力」、「尊嚴」與「軍人地位」、「升遷」及「與民間專長接軌」問題。在在都是影響志願士兵留營的主因。 關鍵詞：兵役制度、志願士兵、招募行為、留營因素Summary The military service system in Taiwan which is mainly focusing on recruiting enlisted soldiers from the basic level has reformed from “mandatory military service,” “both conscription and voluntarism,” toward the legalization of “voluntarism” foundation since the demands from society, the implementation of politicians’ manifestos, and the amendments of Military Service Act in Legislative Yuan took place. In response to, however, the effectiveness of volunteer enlisted soldiers’ recruiting and retention, the uncertain hurdles remain to be overcome. The author considered it worthy of further discussion and research in this background; accordingly, the thesis primarily pinpoints to what sort of factors affect the willingness of enlisted soldiers to join the military and how the government make the recruiting and retention policy better. Therefore, after organizing and analyzing not only the evolution of Taiwan military service system but the related research of recruiting and retention, the author coordinated and invited the commission officers with the experience of leadership and the enlisted soldiers to seek their opinions on this point by “in-depth interview” and “focus group” methods. This research finds out the factors affecting the recruitment of volunteer enlisted soldiers, including remunerations, recruiting methods and channels, and the determination of the government. With regard to the effectiveness of recruitment, the slogan “join the military” would be disseminated around every corner in spite of the original promotion from military recruiters and publicity. According to the interviewer’s opinions, they noted whether or not expanding a new path of publicity by making most of social media on the Internet is inevitably essential in this digitized era; on top of that, the government attitude matters in the whole spectrum as well. In light of affecting the soldiers’ willingness of retention, the factors, including freedom, duty, pressure, respect, military status, promotion, and seamless link-up with civilian specialties would play an important role from the very beginning of the mandatory military service.

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
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.
