Interviewee: Hank Gosho
Interviewer: Paul Hara, Joan Nakano, and Eric Saul Transcriber: Charlene Tonai Din
Summary: Hank Gosho was born in Seattle, Washington on February 4th, 1921 to Issei parents. After elementary school, his father sent him and his two brothers to Japan to study at an American Southern Methodist school, where he experienced discrimination and prominent cultural differences. As tensions
increased between the U.S. and Japan in 1941, Gosho’s father wanted at least one son to return to the U.S. and Gosho was selected to return. He recounts associating more with the Japanese Americans who were raised in the U.S. than the other Kibei Nisei in Seattle. Shortly after his return, Japan bombed Pearl Harbor and Gosho’s father was subsequently arrested by the FBI. Before leaving, his father told him that one’s loyalty to their country should come above everything. Gosho took this message to heart and after being evicted and imprisoned at Puyallup Temporary WCCA “Assembly Center” in Washington and Minidoka WRA Concentration Camp in Idaho, he volunteered for the U.S. Army. He served with the Military Intelligence Service and Merrill’s Marauders in the jungles of Burma against the Imperial Japanese Army. This interview contains many of Gosho’s detailed anecdotes from his time in the war, including fearing an encounter with his brother who was in the Imperial Japanese Army, the interrogation of Japanese soldiers, and receiving word of the birth of his first-born child. Gosho eventually went to work for the U.S. Foreign Service and passed away in 1992.

Oral History Excerpt:
01:12:42 “When I first came in contact with the Japanese prisoners my immediate concern was their complete lack of desire to live. Down to a man, number one: they wanted to die. Number two: they felt that because they were prisoners of war that their names would be cancelled out in their family domicile in Japan; so they felt they were men without a country. Most of them initially said that if they were going to live, they wanted to live in either India or Burma. The Nisei who served in the Burma, India campaign were in charge of the prisoner of war camp. And I among with some of the others gradually began building up their morale. We had what was in effect our own USO. We had entertainment, we had music, we were able to get them rice, we were able to get them Chinese cabbage and vegetables so that they could make tsukemono [pickled vegetables]. And we got miso from the Chinese troops so they had miso shiru [soup]. And we were able to gradually build up their morale. And eventually all did return to Japan. Unfortunately, when I returned to Japan, I tried very hard to look up these fellas and I never did run across any of them. One of the reasons for that is that all of the Japanese prisoners gave false names.”

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
