Labour, life, and language: personhood and relations among the Yami of Lanyu
No full textThis thesis discusses the concepts of labour, life, and language among the Yami
of Lanyu, Taiwan. In the local context, it is labour, life and language that comprise the
concept of personhood among the Yami: tao, i.e. the ‘person’ in Yami language, is
someone created labouring, and his labour in turn creates affluence, authority, and
truth. I name this culturally particular image of a real or true person as Homo laboris
or ‘Man the Worker’. This thesis aims to explore how labour, wealth, power, and
knowledge are interrelated in Yami culture, and behind these relations, what material,
social and epistemological conditions exist and render the relatedness possible. By
analysing the contemporary economic predicament among the Yami, I attempt to
highlight the effect of an episteme: when the Yami recognise and pursue wealth in the
context of market economy they seem to be blind to the enormous invisible wealth in
the market, because their category of wealth is constructed through numerous
vis-à-vis relationships whose meaning resides in what a particular person is able to
‘see’.
The concept of wealth is being re-categorised among the Yami, due to both their
continuous trial and error in business management and the invincible power of
abstract money. Accordingly, the straightforward relations between wealth, power,
knowledge and labour are dissolving. The image of a real person is also changing now.
In short, what money and commodities introduce to the Yami is not merely their use-
or exchange- value but a set of new relations and a new way to see and recognise the
world
Ventajas de la utilización del aula virtual en el proceso enseñanza-aprendizaje : estudio descriptivo, transversal, realizado con estudiantes del segundo ciclo de la carrera Licenciatura en Enfermería de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba en el año 2014
No full textFil: Oviedo Zúñiga, Yami M. Universidad Nacional de Córdoba. Facultad de Ciencias Médicas. Escuela de Enfermería; Argentina.Informe de Investigación basado en el proyecto realizado por Busso P. y Butto M.F. El objetivo del informe fue identificar las ventajas que aporta el uso del Aula Virtual en el proceso de aprendizaje según la opinión de los alumnos del segundo ciclo de la carrera Licenciatura en Enfermería de modalidad presencial de la Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, durante el año 2014. Material y Método: La variable “Ventajas en el proceso de aprendizaje mediante el uso del aula virtual” fue operacionalizada en tres dimensiones. Distribución de la información: Disponibilidad de materiales en línea a tiempo y Disponibilidad de material en formato y contenido óptimo. La Dimensión intercambio de ideas y experiencias: Modalidad de intercambio: Correo electrónico, foro y otras opciones; agilidad en el intercambio; intercambio con frecuencia; claridad de las respuestas individuales. La Dimensión transferencia de conocimiento: claridad de las consignas; relación con el contenido; posibilidad de consultas frecuentes; corrección y devolución rápida. El informe tuvo como universo a los alumnos de modalidad presencial que utilizaron el Aula Virtual del segundo ciclo de la licenciatura en enfermería, no se tomó muestra por ser el universo un número finito, de este grupo accedieron a responder 158 alumnos. La técnica utilizada fue una encuesta con modalidad cuestionario y el instrumento fue el cuestionario auto administrado Resultados: El 56,96% de los alumnos se encuentran dentro de los 20 a 29 años. Se obtuvo una tendencia hacia el sexo femenino con el 86,70. La dimensión distribución de información obtuvo el 85,76% de respuestas positivas. En el intercambio de conocimientos el 73% respondió que encontraron ventaja en esta dimensión, además de preferir como modalidad el foro con el 46,70%. En transferencia de conocimientos se obtuvo el 79,60% de respuestas positivas. Discusión: se concluyó que en las tres dimensiones se obtuvo ventajas en el uso del aula virtual para el proceso de enseñanza-aprendizaje obteniendo todas más del 70% de aceptación en los encuestados.Fil: Oviedo Zúñiga, Yami M.

The Ami and Yami aborigines of Taiwan and their genetic relationship to East Asian and Pacific populations
No full textThis article reports on the genetic characteristics of the Ami and Yami, two aboriginal populations of Taiwan. Y-SNP and mtDNA markers as well as autosomal SNPs were utilized to investigate the phylogenetic relationships to groups from MSEA (mainland Southeast Asia), ISEA (island Southeast Asia), and Oceania. Both the Ami and Yami have limited genetic diversity, with the Yami having even less diversity than the Ami. The partitioning of populations within the PCA plots based on autosomal SNPs, the profile constitution observed in the structure analyses demonstrating similar composition among specific populations, the average IBD (identical by descent) tract length gradients, the average total length of genome share among the populations, and the outgroup f3 results all indicate genetic affinities among populations that trace a geographical arc from Taiwan south into the Philippine Archipelago, Borneo, Indonesia, and Melanesia. Conversely, a more distant kinship between the Ami/Yami and MSEA based on all the markers examined, the total mtDNA sequences as well as the admixture f3 and f4 analyses argue against strong genetic contribution from MSEA to the Austronesian dispersal. The sharing of long IBD tracts, total genome length, and the large number of segments in common between the Ami/Yami and the Society Archipelago populations East Polynesia standout considering they are located about 10,700 km apart

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
