Understanding Statistical Analysis

This book offers a fresh English interpretation of the ancient channels in Chinese medicine, drawing from some of its most authoritative historical texts. It focuses on the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng), written between 200–300 BCE and widely regarded as the cornerstone of modern Chinese medicine. By examining this revered text, the book provides a unique perspective on how the channels were originally conceptualized and how they have evolved over time. In addition to exploring the channels outlined in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, the book offers a comparative analysis of ancient and modern interpretations, illuminating their continuity and transformation. It brings the earliest documented descriptions of these channels to life, offering readers a rare glimpse into the roots of Chinese medical theory. The book provides an in-depth examination of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, moving beyond their brief mentions in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon.

Data-fixated readers will enjoy unpicking its main content: a series of elegantly produced maps, graphs and other visualisations. These are eclectic in scope and ambitious in intent.”—Jonathan Guthrie, Financial Times From the emergence of money in the ancient world to today’s interconnected landscape of high-frequency trading and cryptocurrency, the story of finance has always taken place on an international stage.Finance is one of the most globalized and networked of human activities, and one of the most important social technologies ever invented.

*2022 New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children’s Books Winner* Teach values of generosity, understanding and community with this calm and scrumptious story about a lunch cart that feeds the wildlife creatures in the local area. Furry noses sniff the air as mouthwatering smells waft down city streets, luring growling bellies to the Night Owl. Inside this elegant, horse-drawn establishment, a feathery cook works the grill, serving up tasty dishes for shift workers and operagoers alike: a mince pie for Fox, a ham sandwich for Badger and puddings for little Possums.Mouse, a poor street sweeper, watches as the line of customers swells, ever hopeful that someone will drop a morsel of food – but Owl’s cooking is far too delicious for more than a crumb to be found. As the evening’s service winds down, weary Owl spots trembling Mouse. Has he found his own night lunch, or will he invite this small sweeper inside for a midnight feast for two?

甜美的愛文的天鵝！一道多麼亮麗的景致照見你在水波上現身，在泰晤士河岸翻飛……──本．瓊生　Sweet Swan of Avon! what a sight it wereTo see thee in our waters yet appear,And make those flights upon the banks of Thames...— Ben Jonson 「知人論世」是重要的文學鑑賞方法。傅正明的新作《愛文的天鵝：誰是真正的莎士比亞？德維爾筆名背後的秘辛》，在歐洲文藝復興時期多種文化背景中，力求多角度評論偉大劇作家和詩人威廉．莎士比亞的歷史意義及其屬於一切時代的現實意義。在莎士比亞著作權的爭議中，著者推重「牛津派」（The Oxfordian theory），即以愛德華．德維爾，十七世牛津伯爵（Edward de Vere，17th Earl of Oxford）為莎士比亞全部作品的真實作者。除了引證德維爾的傳記史料和早期作品以外，本書作者兼用美學、政治、文化和宗教的鑰匙和佛學禪宗的視角來解讀莎士比亞之謎，分析滲透在莎劇和詩歌中以天鵝為象徵的「愛」（love）的多義性及其精神昇華。 本書是中文領域第一本簡明德維爾文學評傳和莎士比亞作品的學術研究專著。　About the Book The explication of “understanding the authors and discussing their times” is an important method of literary criticism. From multiple perspectives and on the various cultural backgrounds in the European Renaissance period, this book entitled Swan of Avon attempts to comment on the historical and contemporary significance of the great playwright and poet William Shakespeare who is for all ages. In the Shakespeare authorship question, the

How did lay people in old China save their lives when dealing with acute or chronic health issues? Conventional medicine was costly and might not have been an option for many. Instead, people in villages and towns relied on remedies drawn from a woodblock-printed illustrated booklet called the Seventy-Two Therapies, first published in 1847. The goal of this book is to foster an appreciation of China’s long tradition of folk remedies. Each folk remedy is illustrated by a page from the circa 1860s woodblock edition of the Seventy-Two Therapies which the author used for translation. He also added a historical and interpretive analysis to expand on each therapy and to place it in the context of contemporary thinking, aiming at academics and readers interested in the everyday lives of common people in pre-1950 China, and in the folk medicine wisdom inherited from the past. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- “The 72 specific disease

由於評鑑規定及整個醫療大環境的改變，許多臨床工作者往往需投入臨床研究才能獲得升遷的機會。臨床研究這條路之所以坎坷，無非是需要很多大量且紮實的背景知識當作基礎，再加上實務經驗的累積，才足以獲得成果；這些研究背景知識如生物統計學與流行病學等，雖然都是在學生生涯所學過的，但研究新手往往不知如何運用在臨床研究(即雖已牢記劍譜，但遇敵仍無法馭劍)；最重要的，如果再缺乏好的師長可以傳承經驗，往往在研究的眾多環節中遇到挫折而放棄。臨床研究的步驟相當多，且彼此環環相扣，因此這本書乃採step by step的方式鋪陳，而且在每一步驟中分享我的筆者經驗與看法；另外，在本書後半段加入筆者曾鑽研過的系統性文獻回顧(systematic review)與統合分析(meta-analysis):在最後一章為筆者所整理，為英文論文寫作上常犯的錯誤與實用的技巧，其中所提到的一些概念，都是曾經困擾過筆者的。希望此書可以幫助研究新人解決所遇之瓶頸且避免犯錯，以期在研究路上走得較為順遂。本書適合的族群是所有想入門從事臨床研究的工作者，不管你是醫學生、住院醫師、醫檢師、護理師或者是其他醫事人員；希望此書能為大家打開進入臨床研究的大門，也期許此書能提供臨床研究者進階的捷徑。◎代理經銷 白象文化

變異數分析（ANOVA）是一種統計公式，用於比較不同組的均值（或平均值）之間的變異。一系列方案可用來確定不同組的均值之間是否存在差異。ANOVA的結果是「F統計量」。該比率顯示了組內變異與組間變異，最終產生了一個數字，該數字可以得出支持或拒絕原假設的結論。如果組之間存在顯著差異，則不支持虛無假設，並且F比率會更大。ANOVA如果顯示處理之間有顯著差異，則必須採用事後比較檢定（Post hoc tests）用以測試處理組與對照組是否有顯著差異。這種統計技術稱為多重比較檢定（MCA:Multiple Comparison Analysis testing）。本書的特徵有以下四項：1. 只要看數據類型，統計處理方法一清二楚。2. 利用圖解，數據的輸入與其步驟清晰明確。3. 利用圖解，統計處理的方法與其步驟一目了然。4. 輸出結果的判讀方法簡明易懂。

Fills a gap in Korean Wave studies by studying it through the lens of gender. Women We Love is an edited collection exploring femininities in and around the Korean Wave since 2000. While studies on the Korean Wave are abundant, there is a dearth of analysis about the female-identifying stars, characters, and fans who shape and lead this crucial cultural movement. Using "women" as an inclusive term extending to all those who self-define as women, this collection of essays examines the role of women in K-pop and K-drama industries and fandom spaces, encompassing crucial intersectional topics such as queering of gender, dissemination of media, and fan culture. The audience for Women We Love will reflect the contributors to this text; they are K-pop and K-drama fans, queer, international; they are also academics of Asian histories, sociology, gender and sexuality, art history, and visual culture. The chapters are playful, intersectional, and will be adapted well into syllabi for media stud

An analysis of the lessons learned from tuberculosis control in Shanghai. Tuberculosis Control and Institutional Change in Shanghai, 1911-2011 is the first book on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today. Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of tuberculosis control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. Under the socialist work unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility--factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work units amid wider market reforms in the 1980s and 1990s led to the rise of temporary and casual employment and a huge migrant worker population, with little access to health care, creating new challenges in TB control. This study of Shanghai will provide valu

From Chinese Cosmology to English Romanticism explores the intricate early-modern English and European reception of the Chinese monistic idea tianren heyi or humanity’s unity with heaven via the Chinese rites controversy, the philosophical innovation of Spinoza, the transformation of English garden layout, and the poetic revolution of Coleridge and Wordsworth. ================== “Yu Liu offers a groundbreaking analysis of cross-cultural exchange by exploring the influence of Chinese philosophical traditions on English art, gardening, and literature up to the Romantic period . . . A must-read for scholars interested in Anglo-Chinese relations between 1600 and 1830.”—Robert Markley, W. D. and Sara E. Trowbridge Professor of English, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign “In this deeply learned study, Yu Liu traces a ‘relay of ideas’ that made their way from Chinese philosophy to Western Romanticism, transformed along the way in Spinoza’s thought and in theories of Englis

How do public markets, as ordinary as they seem, carry the weight of a city’s history? How do sucheveryday buildings reflect a city’s changing political, social, and economic needs, through their yearslong transformations in forms, functions, and management? Integrating architecture and history, this book invites readers to go through the growth and governance of colonial Hong Kong by tracing the past and present of public markets as a study of extensive firsthand historical materials. As the readers witness the changes in Hong Kong markets from hawker pitches to classical market halls to clean modernist municipal complexes, the book offers a new perspective of understanding the familiar everyday markets with historical contexts possibly unfamiliar to most, studying markets as a microcosm of the city and a capsule of its history. -------------- This book is a robust and in-depth study of the market building history of Hong Kong since the 1840s and contributes to a holistic un
