Wujian (understanding and practice) psychotherapy and the indigenization of psychotherapy in China
No full textBy now, the wind of psychotherapy indigenization becomes much stronger throughout the world, therefore it has been an extremely urgent mission for developing Chinese indigenized psychology and psychotherapy. Chinese psychologists have made many attempts of indigenization, in which the first and powerful trying goes to Wujian (understanding and practice) psychotherapy with the founder of professor Li Xintian. From the development of Wujian psychotherapy, the characteristics of indigenization shows up. The theoretical outcome of indigenization of psychotherapy in China is the humanisticism of Wujian psychotherapy, which emphasizes that healthy human nature amalgamates the traits of biology, mentality and socialit

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
No full textThe 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
No full text“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
No full textWe 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
The Meaning of Wujian 誣姦, from the Records of Judgments and Manuals for Governing of the Ming and Qing Dynasties
No full textThis study considers the meaning of the word wujian 誣姦 on the basis of two written sources, judicial records 判牘 and manuals for governing 官箴書. Cases of the use of wujian in the Zizhi xinshu 資治新書 and the Zizhi xinshu erji 資治新書二集 can be roughly divided into two types: false accusations 誣告 of adultery and those who appealed against false accusations of adultery. The contents of many of the suits involved either adultery 姦通 or rape 強姦. It must be noted that they included both those called false accusations and also those that were deemed as having insufficient evidence. This fact is an important clue when considering the meaning of wujian. The word zhijian 指姦, which was used in manuals for governing and legal judgments, meant in addition to the false accusations of adultery, it indicated an accusation of adultery when the evidence was insufficient. As witnesses to sexual crimes tended to be few and evidence difficult to obtain, it was difficult to prove whether a sexual offence had actually occurred or it was an false accusation. Based on the legal judgments, I dealt with legal suits against wives and daughters-in-law for lewd contact, which are representative of false accusation of adultery, but among them statements revealing intimations of false accusation could be seen in the human relations and testimony were more frequent than any clear assertion of a "false accusation." Local officials directly faced with dubious claims were caught in a dilemma--the reality that if an false accuser were to be given the same penalty as that that would be meted out to person found guilty of the original charge, the punishment would be too severe, but if that was not the case, then the number of false accusations would increase. However, as "wujian" was related to the reputation of those involved and it was often the case that it occurred between persons in close relationships, handling the matter had to be done with great care. That being the case, one could not mete out severe punishment just because an accusation with insufficient evidence had been made, the general circumstances had to be carefully considered and proper punishment prescribed. These kinds of legal judgments were incorporated in popular "secret manuals for litigation masters" 訟師秘本. In short, through the secret manuals, the considerations of local officials as seen in the legal judgments was conveyed to the accusers' side and in some cases the number of people making "false accusations of adultery" (wujian) increased. It can be said that wujian 誣姦 was the product of the nature of contemporary lawsuits in which false accusations were in some sense unavoidable
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
No full textWe 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
