In search for the hero: A study of the possible causes that make or break the hero in children's literature
No full textThis study investigates the possible causes that make or break the hero character in children’s literature. It looks into if these causes could be seen as universal, or if they change due to variations of outer influence. To achieve this, the study will examine these causes from three different perspectives; the hero's effect, the child reader's choice and the influence of the author. Out of these, the prime influence and main causes are found in connection with the hero’s effect, and therefore this study will have its main focus on the hero. To demonstrate all the effect the hero has, I have first shortly redefined the structure of the core of the hero, and then shown how the hero character manifests as three specific hero-types that underline all existing hero characters, these I have named: the 'Traditional Hero', the 'True Hero' and the 'Ultimate Hero'. These hero-types are then further examined in connection to change, rules regarding right and wrong and possible impairments to determine their inner models of behaviour, which manifest in their respective social realities. These models define those specific causes that contribute to the making or breaking the hero. The secondary focus is divided between the child reader and the author out of which the study will first investigate the child reader’s affect on the hero. This is accomplished through determining what affects the child reader’s perceptions and preferences regarding the hero as well as demonstrating how the child reader' s choice of hero is a process consisting of individual factors such as rejection, choice and abandonment. These factors determine whether or not the hero is accepted or remains as, a hero, and thus contribute to those possible causes that can make or break the hero's character. Finally, this study will examine the author’s influence on the hero by mainly how the author's covert and overt choices affect the hero's character. This will demonstrate that the author's main contribution to the hero's character is connected to the inert choice of the hero-type, which in turn contributes to the hero's failure or success. This point is further demonstrated through a children’s book I wrote in which I purposefully attempted to write a hero which would be chosen by the child reader. My failure to do so concurred with my findings
Prediction of gene expression in human using rat in vivo gene expression in Japanese Toxicogenomics Project
No full textThe Japanese Toxicogenomics Project (TGP) provides large amount of data for the toxicology and safety framework. We focus on gene expression data of rat in vivo and human in vitro. We consider two different analyses for the TGP data. The first analysis is based on two-way analysis of variance model and the goal is to detect genes with significant dose-response relationship in both humans and rats. The second analysis consists of a trend analysis at each time point and the goal is to detect genes in the rat in order to predict gene expression in humans. The first analysis leads us to conclusions about the heterogeneity of the compound set and will suggest how to address this issue to improve future analyses. In the second part, we identify, for particular compounds, groups of genes that are translatable from rats to humans, so they can be used for prediction of human in vitro data based on rat in vivo data
Geomorphological consequences ot the 2002 flood in the Otava river drainage basin
No full textGeomorphological consequences of the 2002 flood were mapped in the Otava river drainage basin. Field mapping was focused on relief changes m river beds and 1oodplains and on 1ood geomorphological indications in adjacent slopes. Geomorphological consequences of the hood according to anthropogenic impacts into floodplains were assessed12513
Effect of channel derivation on fish communities in the trout zone of the Otava river
No full textV práci je dokazován vliv derivace říčního koryta na společenstvo ryb na základě analýzy ichtyofauny a substrátu dna na třech různě derivovaných říčních profilech řeky Otavy v podhůří Šumavy. Ichtyologickým průzkumem byl zjištěn jeden druh mihule, mihule potoční (Lampetra planeri) a třech druhů ryb: pstruh obecný f. potoční (Salmo trutta m. fario), siven americký (Salvenius fontinalis) a vranka obecná (Cottus gobio). Byla dokázána odlišnost ichtyofauny derivovaného úseku od úseku nederivovaného a částečně derivovaného. Dále byla prokázána odlišnost rozložení substrátových mesohabitů v rámci těchto profilů.ObhájenoThe effect of riverbed derivation on fish communities of the Otava River is evaluated in this work. It is based on the analysis of fish communities and the bottom substrate on three differently derived river profiles of the Otava River in the Šumava foothills. Ichtyological research revealed one species of lamprey, the brook lamprey (Lampetra planeri) and three fish species: brown trout (Salmo trutta m. Fario), brook trout (Salvenius fontinalis) and common bullhead (Cottus gobio). The difference in fish communities of the derivated stretch and the non-derivated stretch and partially-derived stretch was demonstrated. Also the difference in distribution of substrate mesohabitats was proven within these profiles

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
