The Chinese Courtroom Video Database
No full textAs a part of the effort to promote e-governance and judicial transparency, China has been promoting mass online digitalization of court, including an archive of judgment text (司法文书), a platform of online trial videos and live broadcasting (庭审直播), and a judgment implementation tracker (判决执行).
China has become one of the few countries that allow cameras in the courtroom. Though a growing number of studies use court decision data, little research has been conducted on the court trial videos. The goal of the Chinese Courtroom Video Database is to meet the needs of those interested in broad research of government policy diffusion, judicial transparency, and judicial behavior in the China context by filling the vacancy in judicial data and providing a new perspective to the existing scholarship.
The database includes two sets of data. The first dataset is a catalog of half-million entries of criminal and administrative trial videos in all 31 provinces from January 2013 to February 2019. Each profile records the basic information of a trial video, such as case identification number, date and time of the trial, participants, reason of trial, location of the court, number of views of the video, and other descriptions. The second dataset is a collection of 1,491 audio files of online criminal trials in Yunnan, China. Each audio was downloaded and converted from the original video. The datasets were collected using the Selenium package of Python and Downie, an online stream downloader
Consumer acceptance of different types of cultural borrowing and its internal mechanisms
No full textA series of experiments were designed to verify consumers' acceptance of different types of cultural borrowing. In addition to the pre-experiment, a total of five experiments were conducted in two major categories, respectively testing the main effect and the moderating effects of different factors. The experimental dataset includes data for testing the main effect and data for testing the moderating effects of four types of factor
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
APPLICATION OF HOUGH TRANSFORM TO IMAGE PROCESSING OF HEAVILY OVERLAPPED PARTICLES WITH SPHERICAL SHAPES
No full textPrevious studies on image processing techniques for particle sizing have focused mostly on a single particle or weakly overlapped particles. In the present work, the image processing algorithm for particle size measurement has been improved to process heavily overlapped spherical particle images. The algorithm consists of three major steps; detection of boundaries of the particle clusters, identification of the individual particles, and false circle elimination. For the first step, the Sobel operator (using gray-level gradient) and the boundary thinning process were adopted, and compared with the gray-level thresholding method that has been widely adopted. In the second step, the Hough transform technique was used. The Hough transform is an algorithm to detect parametric curves such as straight lines or circles which can be represented by several parameters. Then, to improve the measurement reliability, the process of eliminating the false circles from the "particle-like" ones was added. The improved algorithm was tested by processing an image frame which contains heavily overlapped spherical particles. The results showed that both the performances of detecting the overlapped images and separating the element particles from them were satisfactory
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
