Senses and Perception in the Liezi
No full text《列子•仲尼》篇有段這樣的記載：在魯國，有個叫亢倉子的人，是老聃的弟子。他得到老聃之道，而能夠用耳朵視察並用眼睛傾聽。魯國的侯王聽聞此事，相當驚訝，馬上遣人厚禮聘請亢倉子，以求進一步探究感知的不同方法，他並謙虛地向亢倉子請教。 本論文與魯侯有相似的目標，試圖釐清貫穿《列子》中，所呈現的感知的不同面相。 在簡介戰國時期關於感官的使用後，本文提出幾點綜合觀察。我們所感知到的萬物，其所起源的宇宙論，解釋了事物如何通過生、化與縂三個階段。這些事物具有形狀、聲音、顏色、滋味，並被眼、耳、鼻、口、身所感知。感官有欲望，而《列子》提供兩個觀點：可順從或需要去除所有的這些欲望。普通人觀看世界的時候，只從他主觀的角度來看，並只看到部分的世界。只有聖人客觀地以事物本身到底是什麼的角度來觀看事物。訓練感官能力並因此加強視覺與聽覺是可能的。如同聖人亢倉子在最初的陳述中所顯現出來的，聖人有不同的感知方法。聖人不去區分不同的感官，而將感知視為整體。這麼做之所以可能，則歸功於他們心知能力的獨特天性。In the Liezi there is a story where the Marquis of Lu sends out for the sage Gengsangzi to inquire about the ways of perception. This thesis has the same goal. It tries to shed some light on the different aspects of perception as they are presented throughout the Liezi. After a short introduction to the use of the senses during the Warring States Period, a few general observations are made. They establish in a cosmological context, what it is that we perceive. Shape, sound, color, and taste are perceived through eyes, ears, nose, and mouth and sometimes also with the body or the heart-mind. Besides perceiving, these sensory organs also have desires and it will be argued that the Liezi offers two different opinions to deal with them: To follow them unconditionally or to constrain them. It will be shown that perception is described as a subjective and individual experience. This has to do with the fact that different people focus on different aspects of what lies in front of them and because they tend to have expectations to what they see. Nevertheless it is possible to train and enhance the senses and perception. By discovering the root of seeing it is possible to reach a level which enables a person to see things hidden for the normal eye. The third and last part discusses the peculiarities of the perception a sage has. This paper will argue that because of his unique configuration of the heart-mind, unselfconsciousness, and the unawareness of distinctions, he does not make a difference between seeing, hearing, tasting or feeling but perceives as a whole
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.
