Studies on the Relation between Chinese Woodcut Paintings of the Late Ming and the Early Ching and Paintings of the Late Chosun Period
No full text[[abstract]]China and Korea have maintained a close interaction since ancient times. It is undeniable that Korea has been greatly influenced by China regarding culture, thoughts, society, art, religions, and so on. However, when it comes to smaller details on customs, habits, nationality, and art, there exist distinguished characteristics, which is one of the dimensions that is not to be neglected. This thesis takes Chinese woodcut paintings of the late Ming and Early Ching and the paintings of the late Chosun period as the subjects under discussion, delving into how, under different human and geographical environments, the two countries have developed similar painting styles that yet express their own uniqueness. Through the analyses and researches of this thesis, hopefully, the interrelations of the development of Chinese and Korean paintings can be understood.
Starting from the oldest existing woodcut painting “the Garden of Anathapindada,” the earliest color overprint techniques invented in the world, to Ching woodcut New Year pictures, Chinese woodcut paintings have made tremendous contributions to the art world of paintings. With the frequent exchanges between China and Korea, the art of woodcut paintings developed during late Ming and early Ching was soon brought to Korea, and it greatly influenced the late Chosun painting society during the 18th and the 19th century. Among various painting manuals published from 16th century on in China, those which are the most influential to the development of Chosun paintings and painters’ practices are <Master Gu’s Painting Manual> (Ku Shih Hua Pu) (A.D.1603), <The Painting Manual of the Tan Poetry> (Tan Shih Hua Pu) (A.D.1602), <The Painting Manual of the Studio of Grace> (Chi Ya Chai Hua Pu) (A.D.1621), <The Calligraphy and Painting Manual of the Ten-Bamboo Studio> (Shih Chu Chai Hua Pu) (A.D.1627), and <The Drawing Manual of the Ten-Bamboo Studio > (Shih Chu Chai Chien Pu) (A.D.1644), <The Painting Manual of Mustard Seed Garden > (Chie Zhi Yuan Hua Chuan) (A.D.1679). Amid them, <Master Gu’s Painting Manual> (Ku Shih Hua Pu) and <The Painting Manual of Mustard Seed Garden > (Chie Zhi Yuan Hua Chuan) are extremely influential when it comes to landscape paintings. In addition to the above painting manuals, there are also landscape woodcut paintings such as <Wonders of the Nation> (Hai Nei Chi Kuan) (A.D.1609), <Paintings of Famous Mountains> (Ming Shan Tu) (A.D.1633), and <Tai-Ping Landscape Paintings> (Tai Ping Shan Shuei Tu) (A.D.1648); they also greatly influence Chosun landscape paintings.
Chinese woodcut painting published during the late Ming and early Ching were adopted by Chosun painters when modeling themselves on predecessors. Therefore, the condition of relying on woodcut paintings to imitate ancient Chinese paintings has contributed to the tendency of the formalization of painting techniques among Chosun painters. Yet, while Chosun painters take woodcut paintings of the late Ming and early Ching as references when drawing Korean paintings, owing to the differences in geographical environments, nationality, and painting philosophies, the painting style conveyed in Korean paintings still expresses uniqueness.
This thesis is divided into five chapters, which are briefly stated as follows:
Chapter One: Research motivation and goals; research methods and scope; the meaning and importance of the art of woodcut paintings, as well as the importance of Chinese woodcut paintings in the society of Korean paintings.
Chapter Two: Introduces the development of woodcut paintings, starting from the initial creation of the art form in the Tang dynasty, to the splendid art of woodcut paintings during the late Ming and early Ching. Analyzes and understands the main features of woodcut paintings of the late Ming and early Ching by studying works from Chian-An, Ching-Ling, Huei-Chou, Wu-Lin, and Su-Chou provinces.
Chapter Three: Introduces the historical background and the thoughts of the Chosun period, and the interaction between China and Korea. Divides Chosun paintings into the early, the middle, the late, and the terminal periods to analyze the development of their painting styles, while probing into the Chosun painters under the influence of Chinese painting styles.
Chapter Four: Introduces painting manuals of the late Ming and early Ching, especially the influence <Master Gu’s Painting Manual> (Ku Shih Hua Pu), <The Painting Manual of the Mustard Seed Garden > (Chie Zhi Yuan Hua Chuan), <The Painting Manual of the Tan Poetry>(Tan Shih Hua Pu), and <The Painting Manual of the Ten-Bamboo Studio> (Shih Chu Chai Chien Pu) cast on the paintings of the late Chosun period. The paintings of the late Chosun period are divided into landscape, figure, bird and flower, and insect and flower paintings; they will be under comparison and analysis along with the painting manuals of the late Ming and early Ching. Moreover, landscape woodcut paintings of the late Ming and early Ching, such as <Wonders of the Nation> (Hai Nei Chi Kuan), <Paintings of Famous Mountains> (Ming Shan Tu), and <Tai-Ping Landscape Paintings> (Tai Ping Shan Shuei Tu), will also be compared and analyzed along with the paintings of the late Chosun period. There will also be discussions on the different versions of the paintings mentioned above, so as to obtain a picture of the status quo of woodcut paintings collection in China, Korea, and Japan.
Chapter Five: Based on the research results, redefines and evaluates the painting manuals and landscape woodcut paintings of the late Ming and early Ching that cast tremendous influence on paintings of the late Chosun period, as well as seeking for an adequate position for them in the painting history. The last part of the thesis rests on personal visions and expectations of the future.

Closing the gap: Pre-service teachers' perceptions of an ICT based, student centred learning curriculum
No full textAs technology continues to influence many aspects of our social and work lives, it is important that school experiences equip students the skills and knowledge that will enable them to develop into effective independent, creative, and lifelong learners to cope with the influx of changes. Given that teachers play a key role in the effective use of technology in education, there is a need to ensure that teacher education programs prepare teachers for the effective integration of ICT in the classrooms. We believe that there is a need to adopt a student-centered learning framework to design our ICT based Student-Centred Learning (SCL) curriculum for all pre-service teachers. In this paper, we presents parts of the findings from a curriculum review which evaluated 483 pre-service teachers' overall satisfaction level towards an ICT based SCL course. We also provide some recommendations to the ICT curriculum based on the results found. © 2007 Chwee Beng Lee, Timothy Teo, Ching Sing Chai, Doris Choy, Ashley Tan and Jimmy Seah

No full texthttps://aab-economics.kmf.uz.ua/aabe/issue/view/4Abstract. This study recognizes the presence of a competence-based foundation in the career
orientations of both graduate students and professionals. The career orientations of graduating students and professionals, encompassing their interests and objectives, are strongly influenced by their
competencies. Competence is an essential foundation for making career choices and aligns with the
firm-based competitive advantage that relies on competence (e.g., core competence and dynamic
capability). Fundamentally, competence is also a structure of “career orientation” that delivers unique
functions of a person or an organization, manifesting VRINO properties of differentiation (e.g.,
valuable, rare, inimitable, non-substitutable, and organized). Graduating students and professionals
build know-why competencies (that relate to career motivation, personal meaning and identification,
know-how competencies (functioning strengths that contribute to a firm’s repertoire of overall
capabilities), and know-whom competencies, including communication capability. The concept of
competence in career orientation is often overlooked, and only a select few deeply understand how
competencies should be integrated with other aspects of career orientation. This study examines the
typological characteristics of career orientation and its anchors, addressing the need for more
knowledge in the current literature. Industry 4.0 and 5.0 exemplify the competencies that graduating
students and professionals should possess. These industries and societies utilize intelligent cyberphysical interactions to impact various aspects such as lifestyles, product development, process
controls, and industry advancement. This study utilizes the bibliometric analysis method within the
limitations of research papers. It applies the Sciencedirect.com databases and focuses on the keywords
“Industry 4.0 and Industry 5.0” to identify the competence clusters, essentially a thematic analysis of
the interrelationships of a cluster of themes that explain the competence profile for Industry 4.0 and
Industry 5.0. Six competence profiles are identified using the bibliometric method: (1) key driver cluster
represented by the cyber-physical system, (2) intelligence infrastructure and intelligent factory, (3)
intelligence system and resilience, (4) sustainable development goals, (5) supply chain management,
stakeholders, sustainable economy, big data analytics, and digital technology, and (6) intelligent
businesses. Three typological dimensions of career orientation are proposed: instrumentality (selforganization continuum), value (stability-flexibility continuum), and competence superimposition,
which includes core competence in the stability segment and dynamic capability in the flexibility
segment. In the context of I4 and I5, it is suggested that graduating students and professionals build a
global mindset and technological competence to support globally competent organizations and their
businesses.Резюме. Це дослідження визнає наявність компетентнісної основи в кар’єрних орієнтаціях
як аспірантів, так і фахівців. Кар'єрні орієнтації випускників і спеціалістів, що охоплюють їхні
інтереси та цілі, сильно залежать від їхніх компетенцій. Компетентність є важливою основою
для вибору кар’єри та узгоджується з конкурентною перевагою фірми, яка ґрунтується на
компетентності (наприклад, основна компетенція та динамічні можливості). По суті,
компетентність також є структурою «орієнтації на кар’єру», яка забезпечує унікальні функції
особи чи організації, демонструючи властивості VRINO диференціації (наприклад, цінність,
рідкість, неповторність, незамінність та організованість). Випускники та професіонали
розвивають компетенції «знати, чому» (що стосуються кар’єрної мотивації, особистого
значення та ідентифікації), компетенції «ноу-хау» (функціональні сильні сторони, які сприяють
репертуару загальних можливостей фірми) та компетенції «знати кого», включаючи здатність
до спілкування. Концепція компетентності в професійній орієнтації часто ігнорується, і лише
деякі вибрані глибоко розуміють, як компетенції повинні бути інтегровані з іншими аспектами
кар’єрної орієнтації. У цьому дослідженні розглядаються типологічні характеристики
професійної орієнтації та її опори, звертаючись до потреби в більшій кількості знань у
поточній літературі. Індустрія 4.0 і 5.0 є прикладом компетенцій, якими повинні володіти
випускники та професіонали. Ці індустрії та суспільства використовують інтелектуальну
кіберфізичну взаємодію, щоб впливати на різні аспекти, такі як спосіб життя, розробка
продуктів, управління процесами та розвиток галузі. У цьому дослідженні використовується
метод бібліометричного аналізу в рамках обмежень наукових статей. Він використовує бази
даних Sciencedirect.com і зосереджується на ключових словах «Індустрія 4.0 і Індустрія 5.0» для
визначення кластерів компетенцій, по суті тематичний аналіз взаємозв’язків кластера тем, які
пояснюють профіль компетенцій для Індустрії 4.0 і Індустрії 5.0. За допомогою
бібліометричного методу визначено шість профілів компетенції: (1) ключовий кластер драйверів, представлений кіберфізичною системою, (2) інтелектуальна інфраструктура та
інтелектуальна фабрика, (3) інтелектуальна система та стійкість, (4) цілі сталого розвитку,
(5) управління ланцюгом поставок, зацікавлені сторони, стійка економіка, аналітика великих
даних і цифрові технології, а також (6) інтелектуальний бізнес. Запропоновано три типологічні
виміри кар’єрної орієнтації: інструментальність (континуум самоорганізації), цінність
(континуум стабільності та гнучкості) і накладання компетенцій, що включає основну
компетенцію в сегменті стабільності та динамічну здатність у сегменті гнучкості. У
контексті I4 та I5 пропонується, щоб випускники та професіонали розвивали глобальне
мислення та технологічну компетентність для підтримки компетентних у глобальному плані
організацій та їхнього бізнесу.Ez a tanulmány elismeri a kompetenciakeret jelenlétét mind a végzős hallgatók, mind a
szakemberek pályaorientációjában. A végzettek és a szakemberek érdeklődési körükre és céljaikra
kiterjedő pályaorientációja erősen függ kompetenciáiktól. A kompetencia fontos alapja a
pályaválasztásnak, és összhangban van a cég kompetencia alapú versenyelőnyével (pl. alapkompetencia
és dinamikus képességek). Lényegében a kompetencia egy „pályaorientációs” konstrukció is, amely
egyedi funkciókat biztosít az egyén vagy szervezet számára a VRINO differeciálás (pl. érték, ritkaság,
egyediség, pótolhatatlanság és szervezettség) bemutatásához. A végzősök és a szakemberek know-whekompetenciákat fejlesztenek (a karriermotivációval, a személyes jelentéssel és azonosítással
kapcsolatban), a know-how-kompetenciákat (funkcionális erősségek, amelyek hozzájárulnak a cég
általános képességrepertoárjához) és know-who-kompetenciákat, beleértve a kommunikációs
képességet is. A pályaválasztási tanácsadási kompetenciákról gyakran figyelmen kívül hagyják és csak
néhány kiválasztott ismeri mélyen azt, hogy a kompetenciákat hogyan kell integrálni a pályaválasztási
tanácsadás más aspektusaiba. Ez a tanulmány a pályaválasztási tanácsadás tipológiai jellemzőit és
támogatásait vizsgálja, és foglalkozik a több tudás szükségességével. Az Ipar 4.0 és 5.0 példák azokra a
kompetenciákra irányulnak, amelyekkel a diplomásoknak és a szakembereknek rendelkezniük kell. Ezek
az iparágak és társadalmak intelligens cyber-fizikai interakciókat használnak különböző szempontok
befolyásolására, például az életmódra, a termékfejlesztésre, a folyamatmenedzsmentre és az iparág
fejlődésére. A kutatás a bibliometriai elemzés módszerét alkalmazza a tudományos cikkek keretein belül.
A Sciencedirect.com adatbázisait használja, és az "Industry 4.0 és Industry 5.0" kulcsszavakra
összpontosít a kompetenciaklaszterek azonosítására, lényegében az Industry 4.0 és az Industry 5.0
kompetenciaprofilját magyarázó témakörök egymás közötti összefüggéseinek tematikus elemzésére
reflektál. A bibliometrikus módszerrel hat kompetenciaprofil került azonosításra: (1) kulcsfontosságú
hajtóerő klaszter, amelyet cyberfizikai rendszer képvisel, (2) intelligens infrastruktúra és intelligens
gyár, (3) intelligens rendszer és fenntarthatóság, (4) fenntartható fejlődési célok, (5) ellátási láncmenedzsment, érdekelt felek, fenntartható gazdaság, nagy adatelemzés és digitális technológiák,
valamint (6) intelligens üzlet. A pályaorientáció három tipológiai dimenzióját javasoljuk:
instrumentalitás (az önszerveződés folytonossága), érték (a stabilitás és rugalmasság kontinuuma) és a
kompetenciák átfedéséve, amely magában foglalja az alapkompetenciát a stabilitás szegmensében és a
dinamikus képességet a rugalmasság szegmensében. Az I4 és I5 összefüggésében azt javasoljuk, hogy a
diplomások és a szakemberek globális gondolkodásmódot és technológiai kompetenciát fejlesszenek a
globálisan kompetens szervezetek és vállalkozásaik támogatása érdekében
Learning by doing in the digital media age : the contention of learning in adolescents' literacy practices
No full textTechnology is now more than what is commonly known as information technology (IT) or information and communication technology (ICT) (Buckingham 2008). The changing characteristics of technology in contemporary times are described as being digital, interactive, hypertextual, virtual, networked and simulated (Lister et al. 2009), otherwise known as digital media. Digital media are electronic media that operate on numerical representations or digital codes (Manovich 2001). As the digital codes make media programmable, digital media allow convergence of various media for producing and distributing multimodal productions and reassembling these texts to accentuate its interactivity and aesthetic power (Everett 2003; Lankshear and Knobel 2007; O'Reily 2005). What is distinctly new about digital media is not just the shift in physical properties from the analogue to the digital form but, more importantly, what changes this shift brings to social practices
A Stimulus-organism-response Model To Structure Alipay Consumer Perceptions In China
No full textAlipay is expanding all over the world in recent years. With the great brand image and customer value provided, Alipay has reached to top mobile payment service provider in the world. China is the major target market for Alipay. This study employs the theory of stimuli-organism-response (SOR), while adapts the theory of planned behavior (TPB) and technology of acceptance model (TAM) in conceptualizing the stimuli construct. The primary data collection approach is questionnaire-based survey, although the interviews provided some rich information which guided the operationalization process of the measurement instrument. The sample targeted the current consumers of Alipay services in China, of which 400 valid response were obtained. Based on multivariable statistical analysis such as multiple regression and structured equation modeling, the study confirms the validity of stimulus-organism-response (SOR) theory of consumer behavior and brand perceptions study, and together with the cross-comparative studies of the demographics and psychographic variables, some important strategic implications are offered which provide the market-oriented insights to Alipay as well as similar mobile-payments and services in China
