      本研究旨在探究晨間運動對國小學童體適能與運動態度之影響。本研究參考零時體育計畫,將晨間運動安排在每週三、四、五早上 8:10-8:40,實驗為期 8 週,進行跳繩運動、400 公尺跑走與帶式橄欖球。本研究以五年級學童為受試對象,分為實驗組 24 人與控制組 24 人,總計 48 人。實驗結束後,將所得資料以 SPSS 19.0 版套裝軟體進行相依樣本及獨立樣本 t 檢定進行成績分析。本研究之結果經討論後,得以下結論:一、有參與晨間運動學童在體適能各項測驗皆達顯著差異,且進步幅度皆優於無參與者;無參與晨間運動學童僅在身體質量指數(BMI)、瞬發力和肌耐力達顯著。二、參與晨間運動學童在運動態度學習單上皆能採正面之回饋,肯定運動帶來的好處,同時覺察自身情緒在運動後的正面改善並開始對運動產生興趣,因此投入並持續運動行為。  This study aims to explore the impact of morning exercise on the physical fitness and exercise attitudes of elementary school children. This study, following the Zero Hour Physical Education Program, schedules morning exercises on every Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday from 8:10 AM to 8:40 AM. The experiment spans 8 weeks and involves activities such as jump rope, 400-meter running, and Tag rugby. This study focuses on fifth-grade students, who are divided into an experimental group of 24 individuals and a control group of 24 individuals, totaling 48 participants. After the experiment concludes, the collected data will be analyzed for performance using the SPSS 19.0 software package through paired sample and independent-sample t-tests. After discussing the results of this study, the following conclusions have been reached: 1.Children who participated in morning exercises showed significant differences in various physical fitness tests, and their improvement levels were superior to those who did not participate; Children who did not participate in morning exercises showed significant differences only in BMI, muscular strength, andmuscular endurance tests. 2.Children who participated in morning exercises provided positive feedback on the attitude questionnaire towards sports, acknowledging the benefits of exercise. They also noticed positive emotional improvements after exercise and began to develop an interest in sports, leading to their active and sustained participation in physical activities

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The 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

    “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 link
    We 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

    We 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 text
    We 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 text
    In 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.
