Abstract:
Cette thèse livre une lecture macro-régionale du processus d'urbanisation à Taïwan depuis ses origines, soit sur une durée de quatre siècles Les caractéristiques de la croissance des villes sont saisies en lien avec les stratégies de développement des divers régimes qui se sont succédés sur l'île. La méthode croise une approche historique avec des techniques d'information géographique (logiciel QGIS) permettant de spatialiser les processus historiques. Le territoire taïwanais a été essentiellement dominé par des pouvoirs exogènes ou coloniaux, tout en étant le support d'intenses brassages ethniques, notamment par l’afflux de migrants issus du continent chinois. Le développement de Taïwan s'est trouvé à ! 'interface de stratégies spatiales de domination occidentale et orientale. Les puissances occidentales ont développé des villes portuaires dans le cadre d'une stratégie coloniale inscrite dans un commerce, tandis que les pays orientaux ont poursuivi une stratégie plus continentale. La capitale du pays, Taipei, a connu un processus de macrocéphalie moins prononcé que ses consœurs d'Asie orientale. Cela trahit une croissance urbaine plus équilibrée, concentrée cependant dans la partie occidentale de l'île, le long d'un axe de transport continental nord-sud reliant deux grands pôles portuaires. La thèse démontre que Taïwan répond aux critères d'une stratégie productiviste «d'État développeur» (Johnson, 1982) au cours de la période autoritaire du KMT, mais que ce n'est plus le cas à l'ère démocratique en raison de l'affaiblissement de l'agence de pilotage économique et de la délocalisation d'une grande partie de l'appareil industriel taïwanais en Chine
This thesis provides a macro-regional reading of the urbanization process in Taiwan since its origins, over a period or four centuries. The characteristics or city growth arc captured in relation to the development strategies of the various regimes on the island. The method intersects a historical approach with geographic information techniques (QGIS software) to spatialize historical processes. The Taiwanese territory has been essentially dominated by exogenous or colonial powers, while al the same time being the support of intense ethnic mixing, notably by the influx of migrants from the Chinese mainland. Taiwan's economic and urban development has thus found itself at the interface of Western and Eastern spatial strategies of domination. The Western powers developed port cities as part of a colonial strategy embedded in world trade, while the Eastern countries pursued a more continental strategy. The country's capital, Taipei, experienced a less pronounced process or urban primacy than its East Asian counterparts. This betrays a more balanced urban growth, concentrated however in the western part of the island, along a north-south continental transport axis linking two major port hubs. The thesis shows that Taiwan met the criteria or a "developmental state" (Johnson, 1982) productivist strategy during the authoritarian period of the KMT, but that this is no longer the case in the democratic era due to the weakening of the economic pilot agency and the relocation of a large part of the Taiwanese industrial apparatus to China

Neste trabalho apresentamos a teoria de Tomita-Takesaki para uma álgebra de Von Neumann M com vetor cíclico separante u. Usamos o caso finito dimensional para motivar a teoria, depois prosseguimos para os argumentos analíticos geralmente empregados para provar o caso infinito dimensional. Também calculamos os operadores modulares da teoria para três exemplos padrão. Na mecânica estatística quântica, os estados de equilíbrio termodinâmico de um sistema físico com um número de partículas e volume finito são modelados pelos estados de Gibbs, enquanto no caso infinito eles são modelados pelos chamados estados KMS através da abordagem de álgebra de operadores. Mostramos como a teoria de Tomita-Takesaki fornece estados KMS naturais e a unicidade da evolução temporal do sistema físico para esses estados.
In this work we present the Tomita-Takesaki theory for a Von Neumann algebra M with cyclic separating vector u. We use the finite-dimensional case to motivate the theory, and then proceed to the analytical arguments usually employed to prove the infinite dimensional case. Also, we calculate the modular operators from the theory for three standard examples. In quantum statistical mechanics, the thermodynamic equilibrium states of a physical system with finitely many particles and finite volume are modeled by Gibbs states, while in the infinite case they are modeled by the so called KMS states through the operator-algebraic approach.We show how Tomita-Takesaki theory provides natural KMS states and the uniqueness of the time evolution of the physical system for those states.

Abstract:
Today media centers are often cluttered with multiple devices each controlled by their own remote control. It is often hard and/or painful to manage and utilize these devices, especially for inexperienced users. Simstream wants to build an innovative smart-TV that as much as possible centralizes functions and controls.  Operating the system should be intuitive and simple, yet experienced users should have access to more advanced operations. This requires acquiring several inputs as well as integrating the communication devices that are necessary to control the attached external devices. Whenever possible, we want to efficiently process every input while minimizing latencies.  As a result, we want all the frequent operation to be as quick and lightweight as possible in order to provide a high quality user experience even under high system loads. This project takes advantage of the widespread availability of touchscreen mobile devices in order to provide an innovative means of control over the television, with remote control mobile applications running on an user’s familiar device. A remote controller will also be sold together with the television, and this remote controller will also have a touchscreen, and will propose the same capabilities as the remote control mobile applications. Finally, this platform will be open to third-party applications, and as a result this thesis project developed a software development kit which is designed to be easy and familiar enough for developers to adopt it and create applications with it. Applications will be developed together with an interface displayed on the remote controllers, in order to tailor the remote control interface to what is currently displayed on the television screen
Idag är mediecentrer ofta belamrade med många enheter som är kontrollerade av sina egna fjärrkontroller. Det är ofta svårt och / eller smärtsamt att använda dessa enheterna, särskilt för oerfarna användare. Simstream vill bygga en innovativ smart TV som centraliserar funktioner och kontroller så mycket som möjligt. Att använda systemet ska vara intuitivt och enkelt, men mer erfarna användare ska också ha tillgång till mer avancerade funktioner. Detta kräver att förvärva flera indata samt att integrera kommunikationsenheterna som är nödvändiga för att kontrollera de anslutna externa enheter. När det är möjligt vill vi behandla varje indata på ett effektivt sätt oh samtidigt minimera latenser. Det här betyder att en operation som utförs ofta skall vara så snabb och så lätt som möjligt, för att förbättra användarupplevelse även när systemet är hårt belastad. Detta projekt drar fördel av den vidsprädda tillgången till pekskärma mobila enheter för att tillföra användaren en innovativ kontroll över sin TV, direkt från sin bekanta enhet. Slutligen kommer denna plattformen att vara öppen för tredjepartsutvecklare, och som ett resultat har detta examensarbete utvecklat ett software development kit som är gjort för att vara enkelt och välbekant nog för att utvecklare ska kunna använda det och skapa applikationer med det.

Abstract:
We extend the theory of perturbations of KMS states to some class of unbounded perturbations using noncommutative Lp-spaces. We also prove certain stability of the domain of the Modular Operator associated to a ||.||p-continuous state. This allows us to define an analytic multiple-time KMS condition and to obtain its analyticity together with some bounds to its norm. The main results are Theorem 5.1.15, Theorem 5.1.16 and Corollary 5.1.18. Apart from that, this work contains a detailed review, with minor contributions due to the author, starting with the description of C*-algebras and von Neumann algebras followed by weights and representations, a whole chapter is devoted to the study of KMS states and its physical interpretation as the states of thermal equilibrium, then the Tomita-Takesaki Modular Theory is presented, furthermore, we study analytical properties of the modular operator automorphism group, positive cones and bounded perturbations of states, and finally we start presenting multiple versions of noncommutative Lp-spaces.

Abstract:
A computationally efficient, lossy, bandwidth compression scheme for hyperspectral imagery is presented. In certain cases, the direct application of the standard KLT algorithm over an entire data set is not practical. The data may be too large for efficient processing by one encoder and so portions of the entire data set may necessarily be sampled by different encoders. The algorithm proposed handles such a limitation by leveraging the standard JPEG 2000 technology. The component decorrelation of the JPEG 2000 (extension 2) is replaced with a two-stage Karhunen-Loeve Transformation (KLT) operation resulting in a reduction in the computational complexity. At the first stage the spectral data is partitioned into sets of adjacent spectral images, which are decorrelated independently of one another. At the second-stage inter-partition correlation is exploited by combining principle component images and performing a second set of KLT operations. It is shown that reconstructed image quality is improved by minimizing partition size at the first stage. The method is evaluated using the criteria of root-mean-square error as well as the performance of a terrain-classification algorithm. A relationship between partition size and minimal inter-partition decorrelation is also proposed and may act as a guide in the tuning of compression settings.

Che, Luyao. "Chinese state capitalism and the international economic order." Thesis, University of Nottingham, 2017. http://eprints.nottingham.ac.uk/41892/.

Full text
Abstract:
State capitalism, which refers to an economic system wherein the state maintains a guiding role in the economy based on the functioning of a market mechanism that is instrumental to the state, has experienced a rapid proliferation during recent decades. As a typical example of a state capitalist country, China has developed a highly institutionalised economic system characterised by a deep integration between the state and the market. This thesis aims to answer the questions as to how and why the rise of Chinese state capitalism has challenged the existing international economic order. It begins with an exploration of the ways in which Chinese state capitalism functions, submitting that the state simultaneously fulfils a triple role when intervening in the market, namely that of a planner, competitor, and a regulator. This research then doctrinally analyses the legal instruments adopted by China to advance its state capitalist practice, through which it argues that, compared to public law, private law has assumed greater importance in underpinning Chinese state capitalism. Next, by exploring both the world trading system and the international investment regime, the thesis contends that the international economic order has a limited ability to properly respond to the development of China’s state capitalism. The reason behind the limitation results from a failure to understand China’s contemporary state capitalism as an economic model that transcends the traditional market-state paradigm long-held by orthodox capitalism.

A Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) kit for the assembly of a lamp was created to encourage children's interest in mechanical and electrical engineering. To ensure the lamp was intuitive and fun to use, user testing was conducted. As the user interface (UI) for the lamp was designed and developed, tests were conducted with users using a variety of prototypes ranging from paper, cardboard, and plastic to PowerPoint storyboards on the computer. By incorporating user testing throughout the process of identifying possible button layouts as well as proper lamp proportions, a final intuitive UI with a single panel of buttons was converged upon. This UI utilized one button to switch through the four possible light modes instead of having a separate button for each mode. This UI will be employed in a future prototype that will be further tested with children in the intended age range. These tests will utilize 3D printed pieces for the base and buttons, and will incorporate all the PCBs and LEDs that are intended for use in the final product.

Abstract:
Philosophiae Doctor - PhD (Nursing)
The number of healthcare institutions that has embraced Kangaroo Mother Care (KMC) as an effective and efficient method of neonatal care especially in Edo State, Nigeria has not multiplied even after more than a decade of its recommendation by the World Health Organisation (WHO) in 2003. Nigeria ranks seventh among the ten African countries where newborns have the highest risk of dying with over 700 newborn deaths per10, 000 live births. This is worrisome because Edo State is one of the 36 states in Nigeria that contribute about 6,700 neonatal deaths to the 255,500 mortality rate recorded in Nigeria annually. This has led to a concern about the knowledge and attitude of the key drivers in neonatal care of simplified methods aimed at reducing neonatal mortality despite previous training efforts. The development of a strategy to enhance the early implementation of the WHO KMC guidelines in all healthcare facilities across the state was therefore conceptualized. Strategies to increase implementation are considered important to the success of KMC because reducing neonatal mortality rate is contextual. This research aimed to explore and describe the application of the KMC guidelines by the nurses, administrators and parents of preterm infants in the care of premature babies and to develop strategies to enhance its early implementation in healthcare facilities in Edo State, Nigeria.

Abstract:
A wireless sensor network consists of small, limited-resource embedded systems exchanging environment data and activating controls. These networks can be deployed in hostile environments to monitor wildlife habitats, implemented in factories to locate mobile equipment, and installed in home environments to optimize the use of utilities. Each of these scenarios requires network security to protect the network data. The IEEE 802.15.4 standard is designed for WSN communication, yet the standard states that it is not responsible for defining the initialization, distribution, updating, or management of network public keys. Individuals seeking to research security topics will find that there are many 802.15.4-compliant development hardware kits available to purchase. However, these kits are not easily compared to each other without first-hand experience. Further, not all available kits are suitable for research in WSN security. This thesis evaluates a broad spectrum of 802.15.4 development kits for security studies. Three promising kits are examined in detail: Crossbow MICAz, Freescale MC1321x, and the Sun SPOT. These kits are evaluated based on their hardware, software, development environment, additional libraries, additional tools, and cost. Recommendations are made to security researchers advising which kits to use depending on their design needs and priorities. Suggestions are made to each company on how to further improve their kits for security research.

Abstract:
Les mastocytes (MCs) sont issus des cellules hématopoïétiques multipotentes non engagées, CD34+, et jouent un rôle important dans l'initiation de la réponse immunitaire innée et adaptative, ainsi que dans les réactions allergiques IgE-dépendantes. Les mastocytoses sont des néoplasies myéloïdes caractérisées par une accumulation anormale et l'activation fréquente de mastocytes dans divers organes. Les organes généralement atteints sont la moelle osseuse, la peau, le foie et le tractus gastro-intestinal. Elles sont caractérisées dans l'immense majorité des cas par la présence de mutations acquises de la structure du récepteur KIT (plus particulièrement KIT D816V) qui induisent l'activation constitutive de ce récepteur à activité tyrosine kinase intrinsèque. Le traitement actuel de ces pathologies est décevant car la mutation KIT D816V résiste à la plupart des inhibiteurs de tyrosine kinases (ITKs).Dès le début de ma thèse, nous avons pu établir, à partir de cellules souches hématopoïétiques de sang de cordon humain normal cultivées à long terme en présence de stem cell factor (SCF), une nouvelle lignée mastocytaire humaine stable, dénommée ROSA KIT WT, restant strictement dépendante pour sa survie et sa prolifération du SCF, exprimant le récepteur de haute affinité aux IgE (FcεRI), et présentant un récepteur KIT de structure normale. Cette lignée, facile à cultiver en grandes quantités, permet d'envisager l'étude approfondie des évènements intracellulaires menant à l'activation mastocytaire IgE-dépendante et la mise au point de tests de criblage à haut débit dans le domaine de la thérapeutique anti-allergique et/ou anti-inflammatoire.Par ailleurs, afin de pouvoir étudier le rôle transformant des mutants de KIT retrouvés au cours des mastocytoses, nous avons transfecté les cellules ROSA KIT WT par des vecteurs lentiviraux apportant une construction codant pour le KIT muté en D816V ou le KIT muté Delta 417-419 insY. Nous avons ainsi obtenu deux nouvelles lignées mastocytaires humaines SCF-indépendantes, ROSA KIT D816V et ROSA KIT Delta 417-419 insY, pour lesquelles nous avons montré qu'il existe une activation constitutive de KIT, mais aussi de STAT5 et d'AKT. Ces deux lignées de pourront être utilisées soit pour étudier l'impact des mutations de KIT sur la signalisation intracellulaire, soit pour le criblage molécules à activité antiproliférative potentielle dirigées soit contre KIT muté, soit contre l'une ou l'autre des molécules intracellulaires impliquées dans la transduction du signal KIT muté

Abstract:
This creative project focuses on the research, planning, design and field-testing of a kit of basic architectural elements that can be used to build simple spaces and small constructions. These elements are reusable, easy to handle, and allow for a nearly infinite number of configurations.The environment in which the system was developed is a setting of an improvisational outdoor theatre, called 'Live-Action-Role-playing-Games'- (LARP). Therefore the system does not provide a high quality indoor space, but rather focuses on the critical requirements of theatrical stages, such as flexibility, ease of erection and variety. Additionally, the system dealt with the pragmatic issues of affordability and cost-effectiveness.The design process commenced with great attention being paid to the very special requirements of LARP and attempting to test initial assumptions. It included two surveys of LARP participants and use of charrettes to incorporate users input into the design process. Prototype elements were then constructed and field-tested during a full-scale replication of an actual LARP-event over afour-day testing period.Following this an evaluation was made, lessons were learned, and the information gained was incorporated in to the final design.This document then records the entire design process and concludes with extensive documentation of the system.

Abstract:
Les études chez la souris ont montré que les facteurs de transcription STAT5 sont nécessaires à la prolifération et /ou à la survie des cellules hématopoïétiques. Ces protéines jouent un rôle important dans les propriétés transformantes de certaines oncoprotéines telles que Bcr-Abl, Tel-Abl et Tel-Jak2 et sont souvent constitutivement activées dans les cellules de tumeurs solides ou de patients leucémiques. Leur implication directe dans la genèse de leucémie a été démontrée par l’utilisation de formes mutées constitutivement actives de STAT5 (cS5F et STAT51*6). Afin de comprendre les mécanismes moléculaires mis en jeu dans l’activité oncogénique de STAT5, nous avons étudié les propriétés transformantes de cS5F dans les cellules primaires de moelle osseuse de souris ainsi que dans la lignée cellulaire Ba/F3. L’expression de cS5F dans les cellules de moelle osseuse de souris conduit, en effet, à l’induction d’une leucémie multi-linéage après transplantation de ces cellules dans des souris receveuses et rend les cellules Ba/F3 indépendantes de l’IL-3 pour leur prolifération. Nos résultats montrent aussi bien dans les cellules primaires leucémiques que dans les cellules Ba/F3 que cS5F induit l’activation d’Akt un effecteur crucial de la voie PI 3-kinase. Cette activation passe par une interaction entre la sous-unité régulatrice de la PI 3-kinase, p85 et la molécule adaptatrice Gab2. L’utilisation de formes mutées de Gab2 ou d’Akt et d’un inhibiteur pharmacologique de la PI 3-kinase montre que l’activation de la voie Gab2/PI 3-kinase/Akt joue probablement un rôle essentiel dans les propriétés leucémogènes de cS5F. Les résultats des études immuno-cytochimiques et de Western blot sur des extraits nucléaires et cytoplasmiques avec un anticorps anti-P-Y-Stat5 montrent que cS5F est majoritairement localisé dans le cytoplasme des cellules leucémiques, soutenant donc nos observations d’un rôle actif de cette protéine oncogénique dans ce compartiment cellulaire. Des résultats similaires ont été obtenus sur des cellules et de biopsies médullaires de patients leucémiques (LMC, LAM et mastocytoses), montrant ainsi que cette localisation inhabituelle des formes actives de STAT5 n’est pas liée à une propriété spécifique de cS5F. La présence de formes phosphorylées de STAT5 dans les mastocytoses nous a conduit à étudier le rôle de STAT5 dans la signalisation de c-Kit, le récepteur au Stem Cell Factor (SCF). Nos résultats montrent que l’activation de STAT5, aussi bien dans les cellules de moelle osseuse transformées par cS5F que dans des progéniteurs hématopoïétique humains, joue un rôle important le développement des mastocytes in vitro en présence de SCF et que son activation constitutive contribue à un développement anormal des mastocytes in vivo. L’ensemble de nos données suggère que l’activation constitutive de STAT5 pourrait promouvoir une localisation et une activité cytoplasmique susceptible d’être relié à l’activation d’autres voies de signalisation comme la voie PI3-K et que l’inhibition simultanée de l’activité de STAT5 (cytoplasmique et nucléaire) et de la PI 3-kinase pourrait ouvrir des perspectives thérapeutiques intéressantes dans le traitement d’hémopathies associées à l’activation de ces deux voies de signalisation.

Primeiramente, estudamos três formas de associar uma C*-álgebra a uma transformação contínua. Em seguida, damos uma nova definição de entropia. Relacionamos, então, os estados KMS das álgebras anteriormente definidas com os estados de equilibro, vindos de um princípio variacional.

First, we study three ways of associating a C*-algebra to a continuous map. Then, we give a new de nition of entropy. We relate the KMS states of the previously de ned algebras with the equilibrium states, given by a variational principle. In the second part, we study the Kajiwara-Watatani algebras associated to iterated function system. We compare these algebras with the Cuntz algebra and the crossed product. Finally, we study the KMS states of the Kajiwara-Watatani algebras for actions coming from a potential and we relate such states with measures found in a version of the Ruelle-Perron- Frobenius theorem for iterated function systems.

Abstract:
Le système de communication SCF/KIT est impliqué dans le développement et l’homéostasie de plusieurs lignages cellulaires. Des dysfonctionnements de la voie sont à l’origine de pathologies affectant ces compartiments. En particulier, des mutations gain-de-fonction, qui entraînent l’activation constitutive du récepteur à activité tyrosine kinase KIT, sont responsables de néoplasies chez l’homme.L’objectif des travaux réalisés durant cette thèse était d’étudier certaines spécificités de la signalisation de formes oncogéniques de KIT, ceci dans le modèle du mastocyte transformé par l’oncogène KIT-D816V. Cette étude a été menée au niveau proximal sur le récepteur lui-même ainsi qu’au niveau distal sur la voie STAT ,une des voies de signalisation spécifiquement activée de manière constitutive par le récepteur mutant.Au niveau proximal, nous avons pu montrer que le motif dityrosine Y568-Y570situé dans le domaine juxtamembranaire de hKIT est une plateforme majeure de recrutement des effecteurs de la signalisation intracellulaire avec au moins 15partenaires différents recrutées. Par ailleurs l’étude de modèles cellulaires dans des analyses liées aux fonctions physiologiques du récepteur réalisés in vitro et in vivo ont révélé que le site est impliqué dans la régulation négative du signal transformant issu de l’oncogène KIT-D816.Au niveau distal, nous avons analysé les mécanismes de phosphorylation des protéines STAT1, -3 et -5 ainsi que l’importance fonctionnelle de leur activation dans la transformation dépendante de KIT-D816. Nous avons ainsi étudié la contribution de différentes kinases dans les phosphorylations activatrices des STATs sur tyrosine et serine. Nos résultats suggèrent que seul STAT5 a une activité transcriptionnelle dans nos modèles suggérant une implication potentielle non canonique des STAT1et -3 dans la transformation dépendante de KIT-D816.L’ensemble de nos travaux contribue à une meilleure compréhension des mécanismes de l’oncogenèse dépendante de KIT-D816, un point critique dans le développement raisonné de thérapeutiques anticancéreuses ciblées
The receptor tyrosine kinase KIT and its ligand, the stem cell factor (SCF), are implicated both in the development and the homeostasis of multiple cell lineages. Dysfunctions in the KIT/SCF pathway are involved in several pathologies affecting these compartments. In particular, gain-of-function mutations that lead to constitutive activation of the receptor KIT are found in human neoplasia.The purpose of this thesis project was to investigate some differences between normal and oncogenic signalling of KIT receptor using mast cells transformed by the KIT-D816 oncogene as a model. This question was analysed at aproximal level on the oncogenic receptor itself and at a more distal level on the STAT signal transduction pathway, which is specifically and constitutively activated by theKIT-D816 mutant.At the proximal level, we show that the juxtamembrane dityrosine motif Y568-Y570 of KIT is the major platform of recruitment of intracellular signalling partnerswith more than 15 interactors found in mast cells. Furthermore, the analysis ofcellular models in both in vitro and in vivo assays related to KIT physiological functions has revealed the negative role of the motif in KIT-D816-mediated cell transformation. At the distal level, we have analysed the mechanisms of phosphorylation ofSTAT1, -3 and -5 proteins and the functional relevance of their activation in KITD816-mediated transformation. We describe the contribution of different kinases inthe phosphorylation of STATs on both serine and tyrosine residues. Our results suggest that only STAT5 is transcriptionaly active whereas STAT1 and STAT3 are not, suggesting a non conventional implication of their activation in celltransformation. Our work contributes to a better understanding of the mechanisms of KITD816-mediated oncogenesis and could be used to improve the rational developmentof new targeted cancer therapies

In this dissertation we study a probability derived from Quantum Statistical Mechanics through the viewpoint of Ergodic Theory. The probability is obtained from a KMS state acting on a one dimensional lattice of quantum spins. We show that this probability is mixing for the shift map. Moreover, we show that a large deviation principle is true for a certain class of functions and we explore some properties of the Jacobian. We will consider the KMS state associated to a certain specific Hamiltonian acting on the quantum spin lattice.

Abstract:
Thesis (MDF)--University of Stellenbosch, 2010.
The constraints that impede the growth of smallholder farmers have been attributed to lack of access to markets and technical expertise. This has led to mainstream banks classifying smallholder farmers as high risk and therefore unwilling to finance smallholder farmers. Contract farming has developed as a model that may be able to link smallholder farmers with agribusinesses who have the expertise and have built marketing channels that can be utilised by the smallholder farmers. Despite its potential to bring smallholder farmers into the mainstream agriculture industry, literature on contract farming has indicated that contract farming can be skewed in favour of the agribusiness due to their superior bargaining power and information asymmetry in favour of the agribusiness. This study examines the Industrial Development Corporation (IDC)’s Kat River Development Scheme to finance nine farmers through a contract farming arrangement with Riverside (Pty) Ltd. More particularly, the study examines how this financing model contributes to improved access to finance, markets and technical expertise for the farmers. It also examines how the arrangement contributes to reducing the risk of financing smallholder farmers for IDC. The empirical analysis indicates that, despite the fact that the farmers are able to obtain access to finance, market and technical expertise, the ability for the scheme to meet its objectives in the long term is dependent on improving transparency between the agribusiness and the farmers, providing appropriate incentives for the farmers to apply the required effort and the farmers buying into the long term strategic aim (or “big picture”) of the scheme.

The thesis focuses on postage stamps in post-war Taiwan and the formation of the party-state identity. Postages stamps in post-war Taiwan can be read as officially sanctioned texts that reflect the intention and the ideology of the government of the Republic of China (ROC), which was controlled by the Kuomintang of China (KMT). The first purpose of the thesis was to find out that how postage stamps were issued by the government of the ROC, also known as the government of the KMT. Another aim of the thesis was to investigate themes that reflect the formation of the party-state identity. Finally, roles of the stamps as tools to affect the identity of people in post-war Taiwan were examined in the thesis. In the thesis, it was discovered that postage stamps in post-war Taiwan had played a part in the formation of the party-state identity although a postage stamp was not the only tool to change people’s identity.

This thesis studies the origin and the development of the Taiwanization of KMT regime in Taiwan since 1970s. The author uses the term, Taiwanization of KMT regime, to describe its logic and practice of political transformation since 1970s. Based on different national imaginations and contents of the state systems, the reforms since the 1970s were divided into two periods, each with its own logic and practices. In the first section, the author explains why the political reform happened. This thesis reviews current literatures that discuss the evolution of Taiwan’s political transformation, which includes three different perspectives, internal social approach, external institutional approach and domestic political approach, then, try to combine them into a new framework of interpretation. By reviewing the history of Taiwan’s political transformation through the new framework, the thesis shows that political reforms undertaken by the two leaders were results of changes in three different “contemporary” contexts rather than “historical ” contexts. It argues that we should focus on the contemporary contexts.Secondly, the older state system was established by using political leader’s physical power as it was since 1950s. The author argues that Jiang Jinggou’s political reform in late 1970s was designed merely to sustain the older state system such as domination position of KMT within political arena and the hegemony ideology of Chinese nationalism. But this older logic of political reform had eventually collapsed after Lee Teng-hui replaced Jiang as the regime’s new leader. Another new political reform that leads to building the new state system appeared. By reviewing the process, the thesis identifies the political arena as the key factor to impair result of the different political reforms. Different political arenas will limit the choices available for the different leaders. In concluding section, the author compares two different origins and logics of political reforms and comments on the development of Taiwanization of KMT regime in the past two decades.

Numerous studies regarding the cross-strait relationships have assumed that the People’s Republic of China (PRC) tends to be friendly to the Kuomintang (KMT) and hostile to the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP). However, few studies have discussed the possibility that the PRC holds such an unvaried dichotomous political attitude. Thus, in this study, we analyzed the press releases of the Taiwan Affairs Office of the State Council (TAOSC) during the ruling periods of the DPP and the KMT using the content analysis method. We also compared the attitude of the PRC to describe different issues in separate periods. Additionally, we analyzed the horizontal axis of the time series regarding months when significant differences in the PRC’s positive and negative attitudes could be observed. The analysis was conducted to determine whether certain events that influenced the attitude of the TAOSC occurred in the surveyed months. This is used to evidence the long-term interaction between the PRC and the two parties of KMT and DPP.   From the research design categories, we found that the press releases of the TAOSC during the DPP ruling period exhibited negative attitude of the PRC, except for issues regarding cross-strait negotiations and the civil society. By contrast, the spokesman of the TAOSC presented positive attitude toward all issues during the KMT ruling period. Moreover, despite the conclusion that the PRC tended to be friendly to the KMT, the PRC’s attitude toward the KMT and the DPP varied in different periods. Regarding the DPP, the discourse attitude of the TAOSC was shifted from severe criticism during the DPP ruling period to the conditional support during the presidency of Ma Ying-Jeou. The attitude of the TAOSC toward the KMT was reinforced from the friendliness during the Chen Shui-Bian presidency to the close cooperation during the presidency of Ma Ying-Jeou.

Abstract:
The Unruh effect is one of the most startling predictions of quantum field theory. Its interpretation has been controversially discussed, since the first publications of Fulling, Davies and Unruh in the 1970ties. In a recent paper Buchholz and Solveen proposed an application of basic thermodynamic definitions to clarify the meaning of temperature and thermal equilibrium in the Unruh effect. As a result the interpretation of the KMS-parameter as an expression of local temperature has been questioned. The main result of my diploma thesis asserts quasi-equivalence of the disputed KMS states on a subregion of Rindlerspace that infinitely extends in the direction of travel of a uniformly accelerated Rindler-observer. Exploring the consequences of this result, I will present new insights on the asymptotic behaviour of such KMS states and how this fits into the picture drawn by Buchholz and Solveen.

Prednisolone (PRD), a class of glucocorticoid (GC), is commonly used in the treatment of canine mast cell tumors (MCTs). While many MCTs are resistant to GCs at initially or gradually develops upon repeated treatments. Recently, several studies indicated P-glycoprotein (PGP), a drug efflux transporter, and signal transducers and activators of transcription 3 (STAT3) oncogenic proteins may contribute to GC-resistance. In addition, KIT, a well known prognostic factor in MCTs, may also influence the tumor response to PRD. The aims of this study were to evaluate of PRD in treatment of canine cutaneous MCTs and investigate the association of PGP, STAT3, phospho-STAT3 (pSTAT3), and KIT proteins in MCTs with or without PRD treatment. Forty-one dogs having cutaneous MCTs were selected into this study. The overall objective response rate was 51.8% for dogs treated with PRD, and the lower response rate was noted in poor-differentiated or high stages MCTs. Progressive-free interval was obtained from 11 of 27 dogs and about 64% of the dogs (7 of 11) showed progressive disease within 60 days. The immunohistochemical staining was performed on 45 MCT samples from 36 of 41 dogs. The reduction of pSTAT3 and alteration of KIT immunolabelling were observed in the posttreatment MCTs. Expression of proteins were compared with clinical characteristics. The outcomes showed that lower expression of STAT3 in MCTs before treatment was associated with tumor metastasis (P = 0.049). No association was found between other compared groups, but cytoplasmic KIT staining pattern may be correlated with lower tumor response rates to PRD treatment. In conclusion, PRD can cause dramatic tumor reduction in a short period, which may contribute to reduce activation of STAT3. In addition, expression of STAT3 and KIT may be used to predict the potential of tumor metastasis and tumor response to therapy, respectively.

This study explored the initiation phase of the Kagiso-Shanduka Trust (KST) whole-schooldevelopment model, which is implemented in Fezile Dabi (FD) education district in the Free State Province, South Africa. The research was conceptualised and conducted between 2015 and 2016. I employed a qualitative research methodology and case-study approach to collect data to answer my research questions. The data sources emerged from interviews conducted with five participants who I purposively selected. They are executive members from KST and a senior official from Fezile Dabi District in the Free State Department of Education. I interviewed each participant separately at their places of work. The study identifies the nature of processes and the factors that influenced the adoption of the KST W-SD model. I used the concepts of engagement and mobilisation to unpack the processes and the factors in the initiation phase of the KST W-SD model because they are key concepts that provides descriptive data. These data point out the direction and intensity the change is taking and determine the sustainability elements in the initiation of a change project. Engagement and mobilisation are conscious efforts that bring about insights on the totality of a change project and the adaptations instituted in the initiation phase of a change project. The following findings emerged from the study: 1) there are conditions that gave rise to the need for the model, 2)the model was conceptualised by each organisation individually (KT and FS), then in a dual partnership (KST) and in a tripartite (PPP) through stakeholder engagement and mobilisation, 3) the descriptions fits the conceptualisation, 4)stakeholder engagement and mobilisation created awareness, interest, problem solving opportunities and ownership during interactions of partners, 5) the model was consequently consolidated with six elements, 6) the model elements are integrated and provide a comprehensive package for whole school development, and 7) the model is a product of investment on organisational capacities and capabilities developed over a period of time as well as shared interest and purpose. It is recommended that more research involving private, public partnerships be conducted more frequently on current educational innovation models.

The 21st Century is no doubt a “Knowledge-dominated” era, and the intangible knowledge will become to be the core asset/capital of most businesses. It is a serious and urgent issue for Taiwan businesses to implement Knowledge Management System (KMS), especially for small- and medium-sized businesses in nowadays. A recent survey shows the performance of knowledge management related activities in Taiwan businesses is still ambiguous in practice. The assistance to these businesses with a comprehensive concept of assessment model will be helpful to the success of KMS implementation. This research tries to combine the practical experiences, theoretical viewpoints and case studies, and establishes a pre-stage assessment model in an assessment perspective of critical factor and process analyses for Taiwan businesses when implementing KMS. After the case studies, the final assessment model will be including “SBU strategy assessment,” “KMS strategy assessment,” “KMS structure assessment,” “KMS structure design,” and “KMS technical structure design.” And the research concludes the following findings: (1) The Organization/Personnel is most critical construct when implementing the KMS. (2) The result of Critical Factory Analysis (CFA) & Gap Analysis (GA) is very helpful to build the KMS, and it is important to keep a good analytical quality. (3) The NGT group is able to access as well as assess more other critical factors, which are not included in the CFA in the beginning. (4) The result of GA is useful to clarify the KPI and business goal. (5) The definition of core competences will be discussed and re-defined by each business to do its own decision making. (6) Different type of industry requires different KMS strategy. (7) Businesses in practice adopt and implement tacit, explicit and/or outbound combination strategies that can be done separately or simultaneously. (8) Organization/Personnel and Process designs should connect with the result of “KMS structure assessment,” and these contents are not easy to duplicate by other business. (9) When KMS technical structure is connected with “KMS strategy assessment,” “KMS structure assessment,” and “KMS structure design” in a proper way, it is clear and easy to design. According to the research findings and results, five major sets of proposition were developed. They are: (1) The selected KMS strategy will be different while the attribute of industry is different. (2) The tacit, explicit and outbound combination strategies can be functioned in multiple ways. (3) Differences in the complexity degree of knowledge can result in different tacit strategies. (4) Differences in the complexity degree of knowledge can result in different outbound combination strategies. (5) Business positioned in the highly uncertain environment needs to develop the ability of quick response. And its tacit strategy focuses on the development of individuals’ ability, whereas explicit strategy focuses on the fast circulation and integration of information.

Abstract The particulate theory of matter is a fundamental concept that is important in the process of learning chemistry. This study was designed to determine how well the students understand the concept of the states of matter, and to discover students’ thinking models and their misconceptions. Through the designed a kit of particle model, the simulated state change of matter can be used for the promotion of students’ concept understanding. The subjects of this study were 623 junior high school students. The purposes for the investigation of students’ understandings were as follows. (1) the analysis of junior high school students’ thinking models on “states of matter”; (2) the degree of student’s understandings towards “the changes of the states of matter”; and (3) the influences of using particle model as a stimulated kit in students’ learning process on the states of matter. The results were as follows: 1. Students often referred to the droplets which condensed from the steam after the water was boiled as “vapor”, therefore it formed a misconception to many junior high school students, they treated vapor as liquid. This influenced students’ understandings on the states of matter. 2. The proportion of students who could use particle concept to describe the formation of gas was the lowest, while the proportion of liquid was the highest, and that for solid was in the middle. The degree of students’ understandings on the formation of matter was increased progressively with their grade growth. 3. When a substance state was changed in a closed container, junior high school students thought that the changes of “mass” and “volume” exist obviously some relationship. 4. By applying particle model as a simulated kit, it could help junior high school students to improve their understanding the concept of the states of matter. Students had significantly improved especially on the formation of solids.

Abstract:
We initiate the study of a new class of semigroup C*-algebras arising from number-theoretic considerations; namely, we generalize the construction of Cuntz, Deninger, and Laca by considering the left regular C*-algebras of ax+b-semigroups from actions of congruence monoids on rings of algebraic integers in number fields. Our motivation for considering actions of congruence monoids comes from class field theory and work on Bost–Connes type systems. We give two presentations and a groupoid model for these algebras, and establish a faithfulness criterion for their representations. We then explicitly compute the primitive ideal space, give a semigroup crossed product description of the boundary quotient, and prove that the construction is functorial in the appropriate sense. These C*-algebras carry canonical time evolutions, so that our construction also produces a new class of C*-dynamical systems. We classify the KMS (equilibrium) states for this canonical time evolution, and show that there are several phase transitions whose complexity depends on properties of a generalized ideal class group. We compute the type of all high temperature KMS states, and consider several related C*-dynamical systems.
