YU YU HAKUSHO FIRST EPISODE: A semiotic narrative analysis
No full textThis paper aims to analyze the meanings and feelings represented by semiotic elements available in the first episode of the anime Yu Yu Hakusho. The theoretical approach adopted is the Semiotic Cultural Psychology (SCP) in which considers human beings as meaning makers in the world through the mediation of signs. In this paper we consider signs from the Peirce perspective as the representation of objects in the real world and divided into symbols, indexes and icons. From SCP we considered how these signs can represent mediation by pleromatization and schematization in order to understand meanings and feelings represented by field-like signs and point-like signs. In the excerpt from this article, we selected the first episode of the anime Yu Yu Hakusho to understand how meanings and feelings are regulated through existing complexes of signs during the narrative. To achieve this, we cataloged the main semiotic elements of the episode, classifying them as point-like signs or field-like signs. Subsequently, we analyzed which of these signs were part of a semiotic hybrid complex (pleromatization/field-like signs/hyper-generalization) regulating feelings related to the narrative and which expressed constructed and shared meanings (schematization/point-like signs/generalization). In the results, we found that semiotic elements can be considered as narrative devices to involve the viewer in the story based on the intentionality of the author. In the Yu Yu Hakusho first episode, the intentionality is based in the presentation of the character Yusuke and the creation of feelings related to him. In this sense, in order to present who Yusuke is, point-like signs were identified representing some characteristic about him. In the second part of the episode, there was a predominance of field-like signs in order to create some feelings about Yusuke based on the empathy constructed in the first part of the narrative. Then, as related in the literature, mediations by schematization and pleromatization acted all the time in order to relate cognitive elements (meanings constructed about Yusuke) and effective elements (feelings to be felt for Yusuke)

Easytrip Information System (ETIS) Backend System / Ching Yu Yu
Full text linkEasytrip Travel Information System (ETIS) backend processing is my final year thesis project title. ETIS is a Web-based travel information system that build for the local hotels, restaurant and transportation company to promote their services. It also enables the World Wide Web user to get the complete travel information in Malaysia ETIS backend system consists eight modules. There are Member registration and sign in module, Accommodations reservation module, E-partner module, Administrator management module, Report module, Newsletter generating module and Help system module. These modules enable the web administrator to manage membership and partnership leveraging on Internet infrastructure. With this capability, the system is able to provide tightly integrated online real-time reservation, payment transaction, order and electronic information dissemination such as newsletters, events, and bulletin to its members, reports to its partners. System can automatically triggers emails based on member's preference whenever there are any promotions or hot deals by the partners. This report introduces the ETIS backend processing system. It’s defines the objective, significance, scope and project schedule that should be identified before development of this system Beside that, it has a description on the topic studied and researched during the literature research and literature review. In the analysis phase, the Waterfall model with prototyping approach was selected for the development process because the strengths of both the Waterfall model and prototyping can be combined in a single project and reduces the risks involved. The development tool chosen was Microsoft Active Server Pages 3.0 whereas the web server was Internet Information Server 5.0 with back-end database SQL Server 2000. All were deployed on Windows 2000 platform.
In design phase, the topics covered are Architecture design, Process design, Database design and Interface design. There are many charts, diagrams, table and figures to show the design
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
