Full textAfrica was not a white man's grave just because it killed people, it was a white man's grave because it threatened to destroy the crops and animals that were the basis of the settlers' survival. Thus in 1891 the first research institute of its kind in Southern Africa if not in Africa was established in South Africa to deal with this threat. Its life span of fourteen years was accompanied by both personal and institutional achievement. Although still within the original aim of research, there was pursuit of 'breakthrough glory' that led to blunders and, in part, to the downfall of the man and the closure of the institute. The Colonial Bacteriological Institute (CBI) sometimes known as the Colonial Institute was the first bacteriological research laboratory set up in the Cape Colony to investigate human and stock diseases. This dissertation seeks to examine the history of that institute, from its beginning in 1891 to its closure in 1905.

For my PhD thesis, I conducted behavioral science research and wrote three first- author journal format papers, of which one paper has been published and the other two will be submitted to healthcare management journals after completion of my degree. All three papers introduce new information about either the cost or the behaviors of patients in local clinics, filling a gap in the healthcare system's management and policy literature. The first paper studies patients with diabetes who are non-adherent to scheduled appointments with physicians in a specialized diabetes clinic setting in Boston. I developed and introduced new and interesting ''technology comfort" measures and a "Smartphone usage" scale, to evaluate if patients would be able to use smart technologies for their disease self-management. This paper not only suggests that patients with diabetes could potentially benefit from using existing advanced technologies, but that new policies can be introduced to reduce the rate of diabetes patients' appointment-related non-adherence. The second paper examines the system of adherence or self-management in five areas ( diet, exercise, medications, doctor's appointments and regular glucose monitoring), revealing how it is correlated to emergency visits and patient lifestyle satisfaction. I analyze predictors of emergency room visits and propose potential policies to reduce these ER visits through the use of advanced smart technologies. The third paper identifies the incidence and consequences of not practicing non- pharmaceutical interventions, during the time of a pandemic, in a student population at a local university clinic.

China's rapid economic growth -- largely industrial, energy-intensive, and reliant on coal -- has generated environmental, public health, and governance challenges. While China now leads the world in renewable energy deployment, curtailment (waste) of wind and solar is high and increasing, generating much discussion on the relative contributions of technical inflexibilities and incomplete institutional reforms on integration outcomes. These integration challenges directly affect China's ability to meet long-term environmental and economic objectives. A second, related challenge emerges from how wind integration interacts with China's reinvigoration in 2015 of a three-decade-old process to establish competitive electricity markets. A "standard liberalization prescription" for electricity markets exists internationally, though Chinese policy-makers ignore or under-emphasize many of its elements in current reforms, and some scholars question its general viability in emerging economies. This dissertation examines these interrelated phenomena by analyzing the contributions of diverse causes of wind curtailment, assessing whether current experiments will lead to efficient and politically viable electricity markets, and offering prescriptions on when and how to use markets to address renewable energy integration challenges. To examine fundamentals of the technical system and the impacts of institutional incentives on system outcomes, this dissertation develops a multi-method approach that iterates between engineering models and qualitative case studies of the system operation decision-making process (Chapter 2). These are necessary to capture, respectively, production functions inclusive of physical constraints and costs, and incentive structures of formally specified as well as de facto institutions. Interviews conducted over 2013-2016 with key stakeholders in four case provinces/regions with significant wind development inform tracing of the processes of grid and market operations (Chapter 3). A mixed-integer unit commitment and economic dispatch optimization is formulated and, based on the case studies, further tailored by adding several institutions of China's partially-liberalized system (Chapter 4). The model generates a reference picture of three of the systems as well as quantitative contributions of relevant institutions (Chapter 5). Insights from qualitative and quantitative approaches are combined iteratively for more parsimonious findings (Chapter 6). This dissertation disentangles the causes of curtailment, focusing on the directional and relative contributions of institutions, technical issues, and potential interactive effects. Wind curtailment is found to be closely tied to engineering constraints, such as must-run combined heat and power (CHP) in northern winters. However, institutional causes -- inflexibilities in both scheduling and inter-provincial trading -- have a larger impact on curtailment rates. Technical parameters that are currently set administratively at the provincial level (e.g., coal generator minimum outputs) are a third and important leading cause under certain conditions. To assess the impact of China's broader reform of the electricity system on wind curtailment, this dissertation examines in detail "marketizing" experiments. In principle, spot markets for electricity naturally prioritize wind, with near zero marginal cost, thereby contributing to low curtailment. However, China has not yet created a spot market and this dissertation finds that its implementation of other electricity markets in practice operates far from ideal. Market designs follow a similar pattern of relying on dual-track prices and out-of-market parameters, which, in the case of electricity, leave several key institutional causes of inefficiency and curtailment untouched. Compared to other sectors with successful marketization occurring when markets "grow out of the plan," all of the major electricity experiments examined show deficiencies in their ability to transition to an efficient market and to cost-effectively integrate wind energy. Although China's setting is institutionally very different, results support implementation of many elements of standard electricity market prescriptions: prioritize regional (inter-provincial) markets, eliminate conflicts of interest in dispatch, and create a consistent central policy on "transition costs" of reducing central planning. Important for China, though overlooked in standard prescriptions: markets are enhanced by clarifying the connection between dispatch and exchange settlement. As is well established, power system efficiency is expected to achieve greatest gains with a short-term merit order dispatch and primarily financial market instruments, though some workable near-term deviations for the Chinese context are proposed. Ambiguous property rights related to generation plans have helped accelerate reforms, but also delay more effective markets from evolving. China shares similarities with the large class of emerging economies undergoing electricity market restructuring, for which this suggests research efforts should disaggregate planning from scheduling institutions, analyze the range of legacy sub-national trade barriers, and prioritize finding "second-best" liberalization options fit to country context in the form and order of institutional reforms.

Cultural policy could be regarded as how the government treats culture and the arts; most of totalitarian or authoritarian states treat it as a tool to serve politics, but modern democratic states do as fundamental right to the people under steady political and economic development. Nevertheless, the cultural affairs usually aren’t the priorities to the governments. With the changes of society and politics how a state deals and makes its characteristic cultural policy is worth paying close attention. From laissez-faire, passive administration, commodification to centralization, the shaping British cultural policy reflects the process of shift in administration and policy because of the times and circumstances. It could sets a good example or mirror to our cultural policy by the view of policy learning that may provide some aspects for the further plans and schemes. By the major approach of historical analysis, it helps to explore what were the issues and the background of British cultural policy and how it is now. The auxiliary approach of comparative study makes this thesis describes and research how other governments dealing with relative affairs and helps discover projects or learn their experiences. This thesis presents how the contemporary British cultural policy develops: Chapter 1 introduces the research motives and topic; Chapter 2 generally describes the cultural policies and their administration of the main western countries for the climate of reorganizing or setting cultural department, in the macroscopic point of view to sketch their models and characters; Chapter 3 and Chapter 4 deeply explore and discuss the development of British cultural policy and the key points of different periods, especially the transferring institutes of cultural administration that presents not only the shifts of the state involved in cultural affairs are obvious but the altering process of power, and the 1979 is the time point; Chapter 5 discusses how the Taiwan’s cultural policy was made and changed, and evaluates the character of Britain and Taiwan; Chapter 6 is the conclusion. The finding of the thesis focuses on the British experience in the shifts of arm’s-length principle, the membership, resource and power of policy area, the organization, function, finance, ideology, policy-making and the suggestions to Taiwan.

Ethics is a spontaneous behavior that maintains the social order. Today, there is fierce competition in the technical research and development. Ethics is an invisible line that defends benign and right cultures besides the social order in the competitive environment. Professional ethics thus plays an important role to eliminate blind competition, do good to the R&D activities, and benefits the humanity. It can prevent the R&D activities from harming humanity. An industrial-academic stage begins after a school obtains preliminary results in a technology R&D project. At this stage, the school entrusts a manufacturer to manufacture the equipment or device of the project. Filing patent applications to protect the invention as soon as the R&D bears fruit not only contributes to the progress in relevant science and technology, but also inspires and encourages the school and the R&D team. The technical laws provide protection for patented inventions. For example, the Patent Law provides patent rights which exclude others from unauthorized use of the patents. Pursuit of self-interest is a very common behavior in the school, R&D team members and manufacturers that participate in the project. When such behavior violates laws and does not comply with professional ethics, disputes arise. The thesis aims to thoroughly discuss the professional ethics that should be complied with by the people who attends the R&D project from the views of technical laws, industrial-academic cooperation and relevant regulations. The thesis further aims to provide analysis as to whether the patent filing policies of the schools meet the needs of the industry from an observation of the amounts of invention and utility patent applications. The thesis further aims to know about experts’ thoughts of the school’s policies in patent filing. With the results of analysis and experts’ opinions, the thesis provides comments to the patent filing policies of the schools.

The ethnic group of Hakka has remained its uniqueness in the aspects of their language, house, costume, folk customs, religious belief and habitual behaviors. The development process of these aspects is dynamic and continuous. In fact, the reclamation of Nanlong Tribe was guided by the Japanese, who led the Hakkas of Northern Taiwan, the Fukienese living in Gangshan, Tianliao and Cishan, as well as the local Hakkas of Meinong to take part in the reclamation. The interaction among different ethnic groups in the process of reclamation is worthy of making in-depth investigation. The research approaches of the paper include participant observation, interview and ethnographic studies. The paper further uses the spirit of constructivism to avoid any misunderstanding caused by different cultural backgrounds, hoping to employ an objective spirit to investigate the development process of Nanlong Tribe. The conclusions of the study are: 1. Nanlong Tribe is situated at a piece of gravel land, and flooding always occurs along Loanong River. Hence, the Japanese paid a lot of time and energy in the reclamation work, including the cadastral survey, forestry survey, construction of Jhuzimen Power Plant, and the flood prevention and control projects. 2. From the Japanese colonial period, the ruling period of Kuomintang to the present, the economic crops, including the sugar cane, rice, cigarette, banana, miscellaneous crops, etc. need more concerns and assistance from the government all through the period from their prosperity, decline to the existing transition. 3. The essence of the Hakka culture presented in the actual Hakka life, including the ways that the Hakkas respect the earth and heaven, worship their ancestors and previous generations, and defend the natural landscape of their hometowns, should be developed extensively. 4. The intermarriage among ethnic groups, the serious failure of handing down the mother language to the next generation and the remedial solutions, as well as the education and fostering of the next generation are the main problems to be solved urgently. The research results of this study can generally meet the objectives of the study, but there are still some unsatisfactory places. Thus, the study makes some suggestions: 1. The Hakkas should strengthen the proficiency of their dialect to help understand the quintessence of their tribe. 2. The time of actual participation in local life should be lengthened. 3. The researchers of this area should cultivate their reading ability of Japanese language to achieve further breakthrough in the acquisition of historical materials.

Master Sheng Yen (1930-2009) was a well-known contemporary leader of Buddhist education. Founding Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies in1985(formerly Institute of the Chinese Buddhist Academy, affiliated with Chinese Culture Institute (today's Chinese Culture University), he vigorously guided the institute beyond the traditional rigid style of education, helping it achieve academic quality exceeding general departments of universities. However, with the success of the model of Buddhist education, we need to explore three aspects of Master Sheng Yen to see how he created Taiwan's first institution of higher Buddhist education based on Chinese culture and extended it to the world: 1. In a difficult educational environment, he introduced from foreign lands new education systems, teaching methods, academic achievement and "modernity" of the research culture of learning, gradually forming an unique educational philosophy. We look at three points in order to examine the formation of his educational philosophy. Furthermore, we will discuss the three stages of the foundation of the institute and its characteristics. 2. We will discuss how Master Sheng Yen realized and implemented his educational philosophy into the school in order to go beyond the general religious studies institute; we will also compare the school’s characteristics with The Chinese Inner Studies Institute in the early Republican period. 3. The institute is the core of the development of education of Dharma Drum Mountain, which after the transformation also affected the subsequent development of the entire education system, so it is necessary to further explore this. Based on the above three points, Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies created by Master Sheng Yen with a few years of thorough efforts has already made some achievements and still serves as an original academic research institution to keep promoting Chinese Buddhism. Key words: Chung-Hwa Institute of Buddhist Studies, Master Sheng-yen, Dharma Drum Buddhist College, Dharma Drum Mountain, The Chinese Inner Studies Institute
