A Study on Site Selection of Traditional Retail Market in the West of Taiwan , —A Case of Children's Clothes Industry
No full text社會快速變遷轉型，傳統零售市場面臨來自便利商店、超級市場、大型量販店、網路購物等多方相互競爭，除了提供更新鮮便宜的商品與其他通路業者競爭外，傳統零售市場在營業時間、經營型態與購物環境等方面均有很大轉變。本文以長期參與觀察、深度訪談方式蒐集一手資料，以台灣西部童裝成衣業為例，探討傳統零售市場的選址條件，再使用地理資訊系統彙整分析，繪製研究成果，將地理資訊系統應用在零售產業的市場區位選址上，研究結果顯示攤位租賃業總、批發商與零售攤商共構一個互利共生的通路系統，批發商連結攤位租賃業總與零售攤商爭取最大利潤，而零售攤商則在時間與空間機動性高的傳統零售市場獲取最佳的勞力報酬。透過資料分析獲得攤位租賃業總、批發商與零售攤商在分配市場與販售商品時，加入銷售週期與人口分布資料做調整後，可提升銷售業績。本研究建議攤位租賃業總與批發商，利用地理資訊來提高收益。The society has been changed so fast, that the traditional retail market facing the competition with convenience stores, supermarkets, wholesale stores in different ways, and ought to provide much fresher and cheaper goods, flexible business hours, shopping environment and other related management innovation. This study is an attempt to use children''s clothes industry as a case to examine the factors of site selection of traditional retail market in west Taiwan. The research method starts with long-term obevatory participation, in-depth interview to collect the first hand data. GIS is utilijed to display and integrate the research findings. The result of the research indicates that the total booth rental agencies, the wholesalers and the retailers work together to construct a marketing system based on mutual benefit and survival. The wholesalers serve as a connection between the total booth rental agencies and the retailers to gain the best profit, while the retailers can get the best reward for their labor at the traditional retail market, which features high mobility in time and space. After analyzing the data, we achieve the conclusion that if the total booth rental agencies, the wholesalers and the retailers can take the sales cycle and the data of population distribution into consideration, and make adjustments accordingly when they allot the market and sell merchandise, they can effectively promote their sales. We thereby suggest that the total booth rental agencies and the wholesalers should make use of the geographical information to boost their profits
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
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.
