[[alternative]]A Zen Life--YU, WEI-YU Sculpture Discussion
No full text[[abstract]] 筆者之藝術創作乃有感於漢寶德提及到生命之真理以及充滿宗教意味的講話,他提到東方的藝術希望擺脫生與死的影響，而邁向超越生命的途徑，就無可避免的帶有宗教的意味。中國的詩與畫以融入自然與忘我的心境為主調，實以老莊與禪宗的生命觀為基礎。然而最終仍不能脫離對生命的依戀。然筆者創作之主觀動機乃因為面對至親生命的凋零，對生命的實際感受，筆者藉由佛教中的禪學，透過藝術的創作，試圖平復哀傷逾恆的心情。如上述漢寶德之言，筆者的禪意人生系列創作其實是對生命強烈的依戀不捨與面對世代更替的自然法則的尊重取得一個平衡，冀望能達忘我的心境。因為筆者之創作帶有宗教的意味，因此筆者採用歷史研究法，對中國佛像雕塑歷史先有一番的了解；而後採用行動研究法進行實際的創作，從創作中不斷的發現問題，再反省自身的創作，從創作中觀照自身的行為，最後確立未來創作的方向並提昇雕塑創作的品質。本篇創作論述作品共分「問佛」、「開悟」、「想飛」、「逸興遄飛」四個系列，系列一以「問佛」系列作品表達筆者面對至親生命凋零的無奈，只能無語祈佛慈悲，讓至親少些苦痛。系列二以「開悟」系列作品來表達筆者冀望母親能早日放下世俗一切瞋癡，遠離世間一切顛倒，早日得證菩提。系列三以「想飛」系列作品來詮釋筆者冀求能得世間兩全法，能夠不負如來又不負眾生。系列四以「逸興遄飛」系列作品來詮釋筆者最終願想，一切回歸到最簡單的快樂。[[abstract]] The reason I create the artworks can be traced from the words of Bao-da Han which imply the truth of life and the content of religion, he holds the understanding that artworks of east is independent on the influence of life and dead and leads us over such influence, and therefore artworks for him is something religious. I can agree with also his standpoint of Daoism (道家) that the poetry and picture are based on human mood in which I forget myself and go to the integration into the nature. According to such understanding I make the creation of my artworks and my paper is nothing but the purpose to reveal such ideas. The subjective motive for my creation is the history of the death of my closed relatives through which I have an existential feeling of life. Because of the feeling I try to get a comfort from the creation of artworks involving Buddhism. Like the words of Han my creation of Zen involves the life strongly and the nature laws decide the life and death, and my artworks reveal a standpoint of respect for such law and the balance between life and death. Because of religious feelings of my works I try a method of history to understand the pass of the sculptures and then a method of action to make creation really, to find out the problems, to make reflection on my artworks from which I have an intuition of my behavior in order to make sure of the future direction of my creation and to promote its quality. The discourse on my creation can be divided in four series: 1. To question to Buddha in which the feeling of speechless in front of the death of my closed relatives can be revealed in order to make the pain feeling less. 2. Enlightenment. Through the artworks I hold that my mother can give up the secular pain feeling and get the wise of Buddha. 3. Hope to fly. In the series I hope that I can get the wise through which I can realize the hope of both people and Buddha. 4. Happiness without limit. In this artworks I show my hope that I will come back to the way of life to live simple
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.
