Online social viewing: Cross-cultural adoption and uses of bullet-screen videos

ABSTRACT

Bullet-screen technology, an innovative way of interacting with online videos, allows viewers to contribute comments that simultaneously appear over videos. Popular in East Asia, the technology is making its way to American audiences. This study employed a comparative qualitative focus group approach to explore how American and Chinese viewers responded to and interacted with this new format of online videos. Three themes emerge from this investigation: (1) the unique affordances of this technology; (2) barriers to adoption and usage; and (3) cultural differences that impact the user experience. The theoretical and practical implications for bullet-screen technologies are discussed.     

Acceptance or rejection? The social experiences of children with special educational needs and disabilities within a mainstream primary school

ABSTRACT

This article details a study which investigated the social acceptance and friendships of children with SEND, and their typically developing peers, at a mainstream primary school in the North West of England. Participants were 29 children aged five and six years old, separated into three groups; typically developing children, children who were being monitored for SEND, and children with formally identified SENDs. With the use of a peer nomination sociometric technique, findings revealed that children with SEND had less promising peer relations and friendships compared to children tracked for SEND and their typically developing peers, consequently questioning the mainstream ‘ideal’.     

从三部传统目录学著作看古代《庄子》的传播与接受

<汉书·艺文志>、<隋书·经籍志>和<四库全书总目>作为我国官修史志目录学著作中的三座里程碑,在一定程度上反映了包括道家在内的诸子百家的学术流变.通过考察三部目录学著作对道家文献尤其是<庄子>相关文献的收录情况,我们可以对<庄子>在古代较为复杂的传播与接受历程有一个大体的认识.     

日本骈文述略(上)

日本最早的骈文是圣德太子所著《道后温泉碑文》,这是今存日本的第一篇汉文游记,亦即最早的纯汉文学作品。刀利康嗣《释奠文》是现今能见到的日本最古老的祭孔文,同时也是儒学东传史上的重要文献。淡海三船《怀风藻》的序文叙述日本汉文学发展简史,是很有价值的重要文献,也是成熟的骈体论说文。     

Public and private value in citizen participation in E-governance: Evidence from a government-sponsored green commuting platform

Citizen participation in E-governance is, essentially, a social exchange between individuals and their government through which the citizen creates public value as well as acquires private value. The direct effects of participation antecedents on participation outcomes have been fully examined, but few researchers have investigated the internal mechanism of citizen participation at the level of psychological value perception. The roles of perceived public and private value between the participation antecedents and outcomes remain unclear. Private value merits careful research in particular as the E-governance environment is being shaped by increasing privatization and continuous IT innovation. Based on the cognitive integration theory and the civic voluntarism model, this paper proposes a theoretical framework to examine the mediating roles of two values. We built a complete research model encompassing ten hypotheses centered on citizen e-participation in the context of green commuting governance. By analyzing survey data on a green commuting platform, we demonstrate the significant mediating effects of these two values and greater effect of private value acquisition on continuous e-participation intentions than public value creation. Our results have important research implications in regards to the roles of perceived values in participation, especially perceived private value.     

Social capital in the classroom: a study of in-class social capital and school adjustment

Social capital is generally considered beneficial for students’ school adjustment. This paper argues that social relationships among pupils generate social capital at both the individual and the class levels, and that each has its unique effect on pupils’ performance and well-being. The sample in this study consists of 1036 children in 60 first-grade classes in 46 Dutch elementary schools. Multilevel regression results show that a substantial proportion of the variance in school adjustment can be attributed to the class level and that both individual-level and classroom-level social capital have substantial effects on school adjustment. At the individual level, the size of one’s network is more important than its structure. At the collective level, social capital also has a ‘dark side’ because it can have negative effects on adjustment, lowering the academic performance in a class.     

张爱玲、苏青比较研究综论

张爱玲和苏青是同时代的作家,写作内容大抵相同,都是世俗的市民生活,但是同中有异。而且可贵的是,两位作家惺惺相惜,作品都受到广大读者的喜爱,在文坛上都有一定的地位,被称为文坛双壁。所以研究者众多,论文成果也很多,但是研究视角偏窄,真正有分量的研究成果并不多。     

青海省东乘公麻金矿床Ⅵ号矿体原生晕特征及深部找矿预测

东乘公麻金矿床是青海省巴颜喀拉造山带北缘Au-Sb成矿带上新发现的中型金矿床,由于受“生态保护第一,尊重群众意愿”政策影响,勘查工作主要以深部勘查为主,本文选择该矿床有代表性的VI号矿体,研究其构造原生晕轴向分带序列。研究结果表明：VI号矿体原生晕分带序列为：（Au、Sb、As）→（Bi、Pb）→（Ag、Cu、Zn）;分带序列呈现“反分带”趋势,地球化学参数“反转”,前、尾晕共存,预测VI号矿体深部延伸较好或有隐伏矿体存在的可能性,圈定了成矿靶区,以期为矿山下一步探矿工作提供科学依据。     

Information resources estimation for accurate distribution-based concept drift detection

Machine learning applications must continually utilize label information from the data stream to detect concept drift and adapt to the dynamic behavior. Due to the computational expensiveness of label information, it is impractical to assume that the data stream is fully labeled. Therefore, much research focusing on semi-supervised concept drift detection has been proposed. Despite the large research effort in the literature, there is a lack of analysis on the information resources required with the achievable concept drift detection accuracy. Hence, this paper aims to answer the unexplored research question of “How many labeled samples are required to detect concept drift accurately?” by proposing an analytical framework to analyze and estimate the information resources required to detect concept drift accurately. Specifically, this paper disintegrates the distribution-based concept drift detection task into a learning task and a dissimilarity measurement task for independent analyses. The analyses results are then correlated to estimate the required number of labels within a set of data samples to detect concept drift accurately. The proximity of the information resources estimation is evaluated empirically, where the results suggest that the estimation is accurate with high amount of information resources provided. Additionally, estimation results of a state-of-the-art method and a benchmark data set are reported to show the applicability of the estimation by proposed analytical framework within benchmarked environments. In general, the estimation from the proposed analytical framework can serve as guidance in designing systems with limited information resources. This paper also hopes to assist in identifying research gaps and inspiring new research ideas regarding the analysis of the amount of information resources required for accurate concept drift detection.     

《海神家族》与《无字》中男性缺席的书写比较

陈玉慧的《海神家族》和张洁的《无字》,两部长篇小说皆通过对女性家族历史的记忆书写,将女性浮出历史地表,呈现出女性真实的生活场景和情感心理;两部作品虽然都书写了家族中男性形象的缺席。而在描写途径上有着明显的不同。对上述创作差异的比较,可以窥见海峡两岸女作家在家族历史书写中所凸显的女性生命悲剧、人格内涵及精神历程变迁。
