Between environmental literature and ocean literature, Syaman Rapongan and Liao Hongji
No full textThe subject of the bachelor thesis is a literary analysis of selected works with oceanic subject matter by contemporary Taiwanese authors Syaman Rapongan (*1957) and Liao Hongji (*1957). Rapongan's novel The Eyes of the Sky (2012) and Liao Hongji's short story cycle Fishermen (1996) will be presented in the broader context of "bentu literature" (bentu wenxue; i.e., local Taiwanese literature) and closely related environmental and ocean literature. In the analytical part, the author will focus on the motivic construction in the work of Rapongan and Liao in relation to ocean and environmental themes. The main focus will be on the differences in the conception of the ocean and marine culture in Rapongan's work as a member of the indigenous tribe Tao, and Liao Hongji, whose origin is Han. The thesis further examines whether and how environmental and oceanic literature overlap, using Wu Mingyi's definition of environmental literature. Keywords Syaman Rapongan, Liao Hongji, ocean literature, environmental literature, bentu wenxu
An Analysis of <i>Judge Lin</i>

Keywords Syaman Rapongan, Liao Hongji, ocean literature, environmental literature, bentu wenxuePředmětem bakalářské práce je literárně-vědná analýza vybraných děl s oceánskou tematikou současných tchajwanských autorů Syamana Rapongana (*1957) a Liao Hongjiho (*1957). Raponganův román Oči Nebes (2012, přel. Šimonová, 2017) a Liao Hongjiho povídkový cyklus Rybáři (1996, přel. Krámská, 2017) budou představeny v širším kontextu "literatury bentu" (bentu wenxue; tj. místní taiwanské literatury) a s ní úzce související environmentální a oceánské literatury. V analytické části se autorka zaměří na motivickou výstavbu v tvorbě Rapongana a Liaoa ve vztahu s oceánskou a environmentální tematikou. Hlavní důraz bude kladen na rozdíly v pojetí oceánu a mořské kultury v tvorbě Rapongana jako příslušníka kmene původních obyvatel Tao, a Liao Hongjiho, jehož původ je hanský. Práce dále zkoumá, zda a jak se proudy environmentální a oceánské literatury překrývají, při čemž pracuje s definicí environmentální literatury podle Wu Mingyiho.

Du lin sauvage au lin cultivé
No full textNational audienceLe lin actuellement cultivé correspond à l'espèce domestique (Linum usitatissimum L.) qui dérive de l'exploitation de l'ancêtre sauvage, le lin bisannuel ou lin à feuilles étroites (Linum bienne Mill.). L'adaptabilité du lin sauvage à différentes conditions environnementales permet d'expliquer sa large répartition géographique, du Caucase au Nord de l'Afrique et de la Méditerranée à l'Europe occidental
Spatial Chow-Lin Methods for Data Completion in Econometric Flow Models
No full textFlow data across regions can be modeled by spatial econometric models, see LeSage and Pace (2009). Recently, regional studies became interested in the aggregation and disaggregation of flow models, because trade data cannot be obtained at a disaggregated level but data are published on an aggregate level. Furthermore, missing data in disaggregated flow models occur quite often since detailed measurements are often not possible at all observation points in time and space. In this paper we develop classical and Bayesian methods to complete flow data. The Chow and Lin (1971) method was developed for completing disaggregated incomplete time series data. We will extend this method in a general framework to spatially correlated flow data using the cross-sectional Chow-Lin method of Polasek et al. (2009). The missing disaggregated data can be obtained either by feasible GLS prediction or by a Bayesian (posterior) predictive density.Missing values in spatial econometrics, MCMC, non-spatial Chow-Lin (CL) and spatial Chow-Lin (SCL) methods, spatial internal flow (SIF) models, origin and destination (OD) data
