Information and Communication Technologies and Informal Scholarly Communication: A Review of the Social Oriented Research

This article reviews and analyzes findings from research on computer mediated informal scholarly communication. Ten empirical research papers, which show the effects and influences of information & communication technologies (ICTs), or the effects of social contexts on ICTs use in informal scholarly communication, were analyzed and compared. Types of ICTs covered in those studies include e-mails, collaboratories, and electronic forums. The review shows that most of the empirical studies examined the ICTs use effects or consequences. Only a few studies examined the social shaping of ICTs and ICT uses in informal scholarly communication. Based on comparisons of the empirical findings this article summarizes the ICT use effects/consequences as identified in the studies into seven categories and discusses their implications

Research of the Japanese Youkai Culture in Animation

[[abstract]]In recent years, the creative industry has become one of the main trends for the country development in Asia; In Japan, traditional culture is a quite popular subject in animation films. One by one, after the creative thoughts from animation artists, lots of trational legend or folk stories became the main content in animation stories. To compare with other subjects in animation, traditional legend and folk story usually obtain more approval and support by the audience. In this case, the recreation of traditional culture can bring high value and profit, and to be the main direction, in the competition of animation industry developments in Asian countries. The folk believes in Taiwan is one of the features in tradition. It ’s easy to have response from Taiwanese audience with the kind of subject. With the complexity of historical background, there is a lot of culture varieties mixed together in Taiwan; which includes Chinese, Japanese South Asia and aboriginal cultures. Lots of god and sprits legends are very brilliant, which can become good creative elements. This dissertation mainly analyses Youkai culture subject in Japanese animations, and with further discussions about how to decorate the traditional story with creativity. At last analyse the reason of succeed in Japanese Youkai animation characteristics. The research introduces and exhaustive analysis to Youkai animation, and wish can be helped in future direction and concept for Taiwan, and those countries in Asia , who are in hurry to develop animation industry.

服務氣候、顧客導向行為與顧客情感承諾關聯性之探討

[[abstract]]本研究整合社會認定理論與關係認定理論，驗證分店服務氣候對顧客導向行為的直接影響，以及顧客導向行為對顧客情感承諾的影響，並探討顧客導向行為是否在分店服務氣候與顧客情感承諾之間，扮演中介角色。是故，本研究以國內從事財富管理服務的理財專員及其所屬顧客為研究對象，以問卷方式蒐集37家分行141位理財專員與642位顧客之資料，採用三層次階層線性模式進行分析。結果發現，分店服務氣候會影響理財專員顧客導向行為的展現；理財專員所展現的顧客導向行為，也會影響顧客對理財專員的顧客情感承諾。更重要的是，分店服務氣候會透過顧客導向行為，對顧客情感承諾產生正向影響。針對上述結果，本研究提出理論意涵與管理建議。[[notice]]補正完畢[[journaltype]]國內[[incitationindex]]TSSCI[[ispeerreviewed]]Y[[booktype]]紙本[[countrycodes]]TW

地理統計應用於臺北市山坡地雨量站網評估與調整

土石流災害發生受到降雨的強度和空間變異性影響。因此，了解降雨的空間變異性特性是土石流減災的先決條件。在本研究中，針對不同降雨類型使用地理統計進行降雨空間變異特性分析，分別對夏季對流雨、颱風、梅雨和冬季鋒面雨進行分析，選取較適合的降雨空間變異特性。結果發現夏季對流雨的影響範圍最小 (約55 公里)，代表其空間變異大，而其他三種降雨類型影響範圍較大 (約69 公里) 則空間分布較均勻。因此，在研究中建議以夏季對流雨的空間變異特性，進行台北市雨量站網的評估。The intensity and spatial variability of storm rainfalls play an essential role in occurrences of debris flows. Thus, understanding and characterizing the spatial variability of storm rainfalls is a prerequisite for debris flows mitigation. In this study, we investigate the spatial variabilities of rainfalls induced by different storm types using geostatistics. Summer convective storms are found to exhibit higher degree of rainfall spatial variability than typhoons, Mei-Yu and winter frontal systems. The semi-variogram of hourly rainfalls of convective storms was then used to assist in evaluation and augmentation of an existing raingauge network in Taipei

翻譯與殖民管治 : 早期香港史上的雙面譯者高和爾 (1816-1875) = Translation and colonial rule : Daniel Richard Caldwell (1816-1875), the duplicitous translator in early Hong Kong history

由於殖民者與被殖民者存在著語言上的隔閡，翻譯往往在殖民管治中扮演十分重要的角色。1842年割讓為英國殖民地的香港，在開埠之初便面對著嚴重的管治問題，其中一個主要原因是港英殖民政府缺乏可堪信賴的雙語人才，能夠處理好殖民者與被殖民者的溝通。本文為一龐大研究計劃「翻譯與香港殖民管治」的部分，透過整理大量原始資料及檔案，重點討論香港開埠初期港英政府裏的一名譯員高和爾（Daniel Richard Caldwell, 1816－1875）。他背景複雜，身份特殊，精通多種語言，儘管最初只是一名寂寂無名的法庭傳譯員，但卻做到法庭沒有他便沒法開庭審案的局面，最終更擢升總登記官以及首任撫華道之職，且遊走於正邪之間，既與上流社會保持密切關係，又跟汪洋海盜相往來。本文分析港英殖民管治初期的特殊政治、文化及語言時空，並闡述作為獨特個案的高和爾，怎樣發揮特殊功能，作出重大的貢獻，也產生深遠影響

The Spatial Analysis of Betel Nut Plantation Hot Spots in the Upper Shui-Li Creek Watershed

This study investigated the spatial distribution of BNP hot spots in the upper Shui-Li Creek watershed. Two spatial autocorrelation methods, Moran’s I and G statistics, were selected for analyzing the spatial cluster of BNPs with different grid sizes. The results show that spatial autocorrelation analysis can indeed discover BNP hot spots in this watershed. The strength and significance of spatial dependence can be easily compared and monitored. For the global spatial autocorrelation analysis, both Moran’s I and G statistics values are positive with whole different grid sizes and statistically significant (p<0.05). This means that the BNPs in study areas obviously have the characteristics of positive spatial autocorrelation. Furthermore, with the increase of the grid size, the value of Moran’s I decreases, but the value of G statistics increases.本研究調查水里溪上游集水區中檳榔園熱點的空間分佈，藉由Moran’s I 及G statistics 空間自相關方法，識別出在不同網格大小下檳榔園的空間聚集情況。結果顯示，空間自相關分 析方法確實能識別出研究區內的檳榔園熱點，且空間相依性的強度及顯著性可以容易地被比較 及驗證。在全域空間自相關分析部分，Moran’s I 與G statistics 係數二者在不同網格尺寸下皆呈 現正值，且達統計顯著性 (p<0.05)，表示檳榔園區塊具有空間正相關。此外，隨著網格尺寸愈 大，Moran’s I 係數值呈現遞減，而G statistics 係數值則呈現出遞增
