The Impact of Company’s Intimacy Level on Safety Perception and Environmental Preference
No full text景觀環境偏好是一種對於人與景觀遊憩環境整合性的研究，透過偏好與地點選擇能夠瞭解人對於環境的感受及前往意願，皆能有效運用於環境的經營。人類對於環境的偏好曾以多種角度進行探討，而相關討論內容以「安全性」來做討論切入點的研究不在少數。演化理論認為偏好出自求生本能，透過選擇具有安全性的景觀，有機會能提高生存率；遊伴的議題則提出是否願意前往遊憩地點將與地點之安全性有關，且此地點安全性為現代人選擇結伴旅遊的主要原因之一。 關於遊伴的影響力，Warr於2000年討論個人對於環境的恐懼感就曾提出疑問，好奇同伴或在我們身邊出現的人是否可能影響、又如何影響我們個人的環境知覺；Staats和Hartig 在2004年的研究則為此提出一部分的解答，發現遊伴的陪同可以提高個人在自然環境步行時的安全感，同時，有無同伴也會對於自然與城市環境有不同的偏好，但本研究並不認為所有遊伴都能提升安全感。 據親密關係理論，親密關係可以為關係人提供安全感與照顧，而親密關係也會依據親密程度有不同類型，不同的關係組成所提供的安全感及照顧功能不盡相同，且過去實驗發現親密關係品質愈高時，減緩自身面對威脅時的不適效果會愈好。有鑑於此，本研究認為不同親密程度的遊伴，應會對於個人的環境安全知覺有不同程度之作用，進而產生環境偏好之差異。本研究以網路問卷的形式配合自然景觀照片進行環境安全感與偏好之測量，分別檢測遊伴的親密程度與遊伴照顧程度是否影響受測者對照片中該景觀環境之安全知覺及景觀偏好。 研究結果發現，有他人陪同出遊確實可以提升個人對景觀環境之安全感，此部分與Staats和Hartig (2004)之研究結果相同，而本研究更進一步發現，當個人與遊伴的關係愈親密其環境安全感會愈高，進而提升對景觀之偏好。然並非所有遊伴皆能提升安全感，個人對環境之安全感會因為與遊伴所建立的相對照顧立場不同而有所差異，被照顧的程度愈高對景觀之安全感會愈高，但照顧他人的程度愈高，反而會對環境產生不安。本研究結果可做為日後景觀環境偏好與景點選擇之相關研究參考，考量是否將是否有遊伴陪同及與遊伴的親密程度做為考量因子，以建立研究之完整性。The preference of landscape is an integration study of human and landscape environment which is used to understand the feelings and willingness to visit a site. The issues of landscape preference were studied in a variety of perspectives. Evolutionary theory, for example, had a point that preference is from the survival instinct of human beings. By selecting a site with much higher security to live or stay, much more opportunity can be held to improve survival. The issues of tour companion also raised about the safety topic. Staats and Hartig (2004) found that the one who’s accompanied by friends will have different consciousness which is safety on the environment which becomes an important consideration of the preference and willingness to the site. However, the companion we choose to go with is not always the same relation as last time or before. There are many kinds companion due to the extent of intimacy. Intimate relationship theory makes a point that this kind of interpersonal relationship provides some functions like safety, care, and others. Not every relationship, however, has same outcomes on these functions. It was found by Coan, Schaefer, and Davidson (2006) that intimate relationship has the effect of mitigating the discomfort when we encounter a threat, and the results showed that this comfort effect with intimate partner was much better than with stranger. For this reason, this study proposed that the intimacy of the relationship may play a role in the safety perception of the landscape environment, and brings about the differences of preference. The results found that when subject is accompanied, the preference and the safety perception to the landscape is different from the state which is being alone. While the relation between the subject and his companion is much more intimate, the consciousness of safety of the subject becomes higher, and this changes the preference to the site which is also be promoted. Though, not every companion can raise our feeling of safety and preference to the landscape. It depends on the character who is being a care giver, like a mother, and who is being a care receiver, like a child. The safety to the landscape of a care giver would be cut down due to his travel partner which is relatively the care receiver one. And this result also reflects on the preference to a landscape. The results of this study indicate the importance of a companion to us, especially with a distinct intimacy. In addition, the position of care or be cared also make the perception and preference change. This study can be used as future landscape preferences and site selecting research which may consider the impact of tour companion and the relation between them to strengthen research integrity
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.
