The Wan-li ti-ch'ao 萬暦邸鈔 and the Wang-li shu-ch'ao 萬暦疏鈔
Full text linkThis paper treats the background of compilation and compilators of two important works for the study of the history of the Wan-li period (1573-1620), the "Wan-li ti-ch'ao (3 ts'e, Taiwan, Cheng-chung shu-chu 正中書局, 1969) and the "Wan-li shu-ch'ao" (50 chuan, 34 ts'e, possessed by the Sonkeikaku 尊經閣 Library, preface from Wan-li 37 (1609)), and it clarifies the character of these sources. The author of the "Wan-li ti-ch'ao" was formerly considered unknown, but now is known that it was compiled by Ch'ien I-pen 錢一本 (1546- 1617) from Wu-chin 武進. This is clear from the liferecord (hsing-chuang 行狀) of Ch'ien I-pen by the hand of Wu Liang 呉亮.It is also supported by the fact that the "Wan-li ti-ch'ao" which is written in the annals form, stops right before the death of Ch'ien I-pen. Ch'ien l-pen, a person who supervised the Ching-cheng t'ang 經正堂 School of Wu-chin, had also, by way of the Tung-lin Academy (東林書院), close connections with people of the Tung-lin Party. Huang Tsung-i 黃宗羲 in his "Ming-ju hsueh-an" 明儒學案 mentions him in the part on the Tung-lin, the "Tung-lin hsueh-an" 東林學案. Also, his son Ch'ien Ch'un 錢春 conducted his political activities from the standpoint of the Tung-lin faction. Therefore this book is an indispensable work for the study of political history, being a history of the Wan-li period seen from the side of the Tung-lin faction. However, as for instance the chapter on Wan-li 43 (1615) is placed between the 28th and the 32nd year (resp. 1600 and 1604), one has to be careful when using it. In the "Wan-li shu-ch'ao", with prefaces written by Ch'ien I-pen and Ku Hsien-ch'eng 顧憲成, the same Wu Liang from Wu-chin becomes the central figure, and, moreover, it is compiled with the help of the core of the Tung-lin faction members. It incorporates thematically the texts of memoranda from Wan-li 1 (1573) to Wan-li 42 (1614). Due to the fact that it contains memoranda in connection with Manchu-policies it was designated as a forbidden work during the Ch'ing 清 Dynasty, and there are only extremely few works handed down to us. Wu Liang was related by marriage to Ch'ien I-pen, and was sharply opposed to the anti-Tung-lin faction, supporting Ku Hsien-ch'eng. Therefore one can say that also this book has been compiled according to the contemporary political doctrines of the Tung-lin faction. It mostly criticizes the political situation between the monarch and the cabinet, especially its oppression of freedom of speech, and parts relating to concrete local policies are rather rare. This problem also is related to the gentry-controversy of late, and hereafter one shall have to examine the contents of this book

Global Operations and Supply Chain Configurations: Reshoring Dynamics in Europe
Full text linkIn recent years, the growing tensions in trade and investment between major developed countries (e.g., US) and leading developing countries (e.g., China), the thinning of location advantages in some low-cost countries, and the growing awareness of the “total cost” of offshoring have driven many companies to re-think the location of their international value chains. Previously offshored operations have been relocated to countries closer to the companies’ headquarters or even to the domestic context. This phenomenon is referred to as “reshoring”.
Extant literature on reshoring has provided rich insights into why companies reshore by identifying an array of motivations. It has also enlightened us that reshoring is complex and dynamic. Despite the fact that the dialogue has shifted gradually from why aspect towards a wider scope involving how companies reshore and what the outcomes are, the nuanced understanding of reshoring dynamics is still lacking. Prior studies fall far short in addressing questions concerning reshoring trends and features, the determinants of key strategic decisions, country effects, and reshoring impact.
The purpose of this thesis is to probe the dynamics of reshoring with a particular focus on reshoring or repatriation of manufacturing production in Europe. More in detail, we have set five objectives: (1) provide a systematic understanding of the reshoring literature, (2) analyse the dynamics and evolution of reshoring in Europe, (3) investigate the determinants of reshoring entry modes, (4) compare reshoring practices and analyse how the home country matters, and (5) articulate frontier issues and propose future research directions.
This thesis is based on the large-scale data of reshoring projects recorded in the European Reshoring Monitor (ERM) database whose goal is to identify, analyse and summarise evidence on the reshoring of manufacturing and other value-chain activities to the EU. ERM project, as part of a multi-annual research (2015-18) project on the “Future of Manufacturing in Europe”, is based on a collaboration between Eurofound and a consortium of Italian universities with an active interest in tracking reshoring activities. The lead university in the consortium is the University of Udine. The writer of this thesis has been deeply involved in this project since its inception and has undertaken database creation and management tasks.
In general, the key empirical findings reflect the dynamism and evolutionary trajectories of reshoring practices and the complexity of reshoring countries that themselves differ in terms of institutional environment, industrial conditions, and culture.
These empirical findings, together with future research directions proposed, have many theoretical and practical implications
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe 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
Full text link“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
Full text linkWe 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
Full text linkWe 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
