An analysis on the narrative and significance of dream in Zuo Zhuan = "Zuo zhuan" xu meng shou fa ji qi yi yi fen xi
No full textZuo Zhuan is one of the outstanding historical annals about the Spring and Autumn period, which included a lot of description of dreams. It raised attention from numerous researchers and thus created a new topic.
Dreams are mysterious, imaginary and predictive. Regarding to these characteristics, the author of Zuo Zhuan put dreams as a kind of historical materials. Dream took an important role in deciding people's action and making prediction about the future in Zuo Zhuan. It was a tool to promote courtesy and the message of good would be rewarded with good while evil with evil.
On the basis of previous research, this paper will deeply study on the narrative and significance of dreams in Zuo Zhuan . The first chapter introduces the significance of this topic and classifies the nature of dreams in Zuo Zhuan. The second chapter describes the identity of people who involved in dreams, the narrative structure and the explanation of dreams. The third chapter is an analysis of the artistic characteristics of dream description in Zuo Zhuan, which mainly reflects on the detailed dream depiction and the narrative structure of space-time. The fourth chapter analyzes the connotation and influence of dream description in Zuo Zhuan on later literature.published_or_final_versionChinese Language and LiteratureMasterMaster of Art
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
Rapid processing of multi-element arrays : is visual-attentional deficit present in Chinese developmental dyslexia?
Get PDFThe current study consisted of two experiments involving adult and child Chinese readers respectively. The aim of the study was to investigate the serial position effects of normal readers in processing multi-element array and to see if visual attentional deficit theory could explain developmental dyslexia. Participants were tested on their ability in processing multi-element array using a two-alternative forced-choice task. Letters, digits, symbols, Chinese characters and logographeme were used as stimuli. Skilled Chinese readers gave an inverted V-shaped serial position function for all stimuli. It was contradict with what previously found in alphabetic readers and reflected a difference in visual processing mechanism for different language users. Also, performance of lexical/verbal materials were significantly better than that of non-lexical/non-verbal materials for all participants. This suggested that the sound/meaning of the stimuli would help in visual processing but the visual processing mechanism is more sensitive to the reading background of participants.published_or_final_versionSpeech and Hearing SciencesBachelorBachelor of Science in Speech and Hearing Science
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
