Abstract:
Le drehu est la langue austronesienne parlee sur l'ile de lifou, l'une des trois iles loyautes. Il a ete retenu comme langue vivante dans le cadre d'une option au baccalaureat. La publication de ce dictionniaire drehu-francais a pour objet de faire ressortir les traits morphologiques particuliers et l'interet que ceux-ci presentent pour le developpement de la connaissance des langues de l'asie du sud-est et de l'oceanie. Plus qu'un simple lexique, ce dictionnaire est une somme ethnogra, phique fournissant des informations sur l'organisation sociale, la vie quotidienne, les technologies traditionnelles, la medecine popu, laire, les mythes et les croyances de ses habitants. L'auteur a cher, che la plus grande exhaustivite possible, grace au concours d'infor, mateurs anciens, aujourd'hui disparus, mais non oublies. L'ouvrage comporte de nombreux termes de la nomenclature vege, tale et animale qui ne figurent dans aucun autre ouvrage. Ils repre, sentent quelques 700 noms de plantes medicinales ou a usage domestique avec leur idnetification scientifique et leur denomina, tion populaire dans le francais local. Connaitre et faire connaitre sa propre langue, une langue dont ils peuvent etre fiers de ses possibilites d'enrischissement structurees, semble etre aujourd'hui l'objectif d'une grande partie de la jeunesse eduquee de lifou. Ce dictionnaire a ete concu pour devenir leur ins, trument de travail
Drehu is the austronesian language spoken on the island of lifou, one of the loyalty islands. It has been chosen as one of the lan, guages giving, through an option, access to the french leaving certificate. The publication of this drehu-french dictionnary aims at putting into perspective the morphological traits of the language, as step, ping stones towards the development of our knowledge of the lan, guages of south-east asia and oceania. More than a simple list of words, this work also sums the ethnogra, phic knowledge about the island, giving information on the social organization, everyday life, traditional arts and crafts, medical knowledge, as well as myths and beliefs. The author has sought to be as exhaustive as feasible, having recourse to a wealth of ancient informants, gone, but well remembered. The book contains numerous words dealing with the vegetable and animal nomenclature, words which cannot be found in any other publication. There are some 700 names of domestic or plants having a medicinal use, with their scientific definition and their local ver, nacular name in french. To know one's language and make its importance be appreciated by others, as a carrier of a culture, equally allowing for structural tech, niques of adapting and enriching itself, is one of the often stated aims of the younger educated generation in lifou. This dictionary has been built so as to be their tool

Abstract:
A partir des représentations, itinéraires thérapeutiques, pratiques de soins et discours qui encadrent les troubles mentaux sur l’île de Lifou, cette thèse explore la reconfiguration de l’intervention psychiatrique dans le contexte de la décolonisation de la Nouvelle-Calédonie. Avec l’autonomisation croissante des compétences calédoniennes, comment s’ouvrent et se modifient des dispositifs de soin fortement marqués par le legs colonial ? Comment l’expérience subjective de la maladie mentale et de son soin s’en voient bouleversées ?L’enquête menée sur 14 mois a croisé les entrées et les angles ethnographiques – espaces familiaux et espaces institutionnels du soin, espace villageois de Lifou et espace urbain de Nouméa, récits des malades et de leurs familles, mais aussi de guérisseuses, chefs coutumiers, pasteurs, infirmiers, psychologues, psychiatres. L’observation participante dans une structure de pédopsychiatrie décentralisée sur l’île de Lifou m’a permis d’analyser comment se combinaient les modes de résolution et les registres discursifs européens et kanaks portant sur la santé mentale dans le contexte d’un changement des techniques de gouvernementalité. A partir de quelques études de cas, j’expose dans ma thèse les itinéraires thérapeutiques entre ces différents espaces et je décris l’expérience subjective de la maladie mentale ainsi que la façon dont les familles négocient le soin dans les nouveaux dispositifs. En outre, pour mieux comprendre ces dispositifs, je retrace l’histoire de la psychiatrie coloniale et de la santé mentale en Nouvelle-Calédonie – d’une psychiatrie asilaire pensée dans les murs de la colonie pénitentiaire à son ouverture vers des structures décentralisées visant à prendre en charge les maux de la souffrance sociale.Ainsi se déploient les différentes dimensions d’un espace politique de la santé mentale, de l’expérience subjective de la maladie jusqu’au pouvoir thérapeutique, aux dispositifs et aux acteurs socio-sanitaires. Cette thèse montre comment cet espace est traversé par la tension entre une éthique de la relationnalité qui traverse le monde social kanak, les techniques de discipline portées par l’histoire coloniale et les reconfigurations institutionnelles ainsi que l’économie néolibérale du contexte postcolonial
This research explores the reconfiguration of psychiatric intervention in the context of the decolonization of New Caledonia. To do so, it looks at the representations, histories of patients, care practices and discourses that frame mental disorders on the island of Lifou.In the context of the greater autonomy given to the institutions of New Caledonian, how are psychiatric practices which are strongly marked by the colonial legacy opening up and changing? How has the subjective experience of mental disorders and their care been changing?This dissertation is based on 14 months of fieldwork working at the intersection of various ethnographic entry points and angles such as family and institutional spaces of care, the rural villages of Lifou versus the urban space of Nouméa, narratives of people suffering from mental disorders and their families, but also the narratives and stories of healers, customary chiefs, pastors, nurses, psychologists and psychiatrists. Through a participant-observation led method of research that was employed in a decentralized pedopsychiatric institution on the island of Lifou, I analyzed the changes in European and Kanak discourses on mental health as well as their means of resolving mental disorders, all within the context of larger changes in techniques of governmentality. A few case studies help unfold the various patient histories that exist between these different spaces and sheds light on the subjective experience of mental disorders as well as the way in which families negotiate care in new treatment facilities. In order to better understand the healthcare institutions and actors, I also retrace the history of colonial psychiatry in New Caledonia – from an asylum-based psychiatry which was conceived within the prison colony, to its opening up in the frame of decentralized structures which take charge of care provision in addressing social suffering.This dissertation works to unravel the different dimensions of the political space of mental health, from the subjective experience of mental disorders to therapeutic power, for care institutions to the socio-sanitary actors who work within them. It shows how this space is criss-crossed by tensions between the ethics of relationality on the one hand, the techniques of discipline carried out through colonial history, and the institutional reconfigurations linked to the post-colonialism context and the ensuing neoliberalization of the economy, on the other

Cette thèse s'inscrit dans la théorie des opérations énonciatives d'A. Culioli et comporte trois chapitres principaux : les classes de mots, l'analyse de marqueurs aspectuels et modaux, et les structures d'actance du drehu. Dans la première partie, l'auteur met en évidence la polyfonctionnalité des lexèmes et la non-pertinence d'une pré-catégorisation en verbes et en noms en drehu. La deuxième partie est consacrée à l'analyse des principaux marqueurs aspecto-modaux du drehu, en tant que marques d'une opération énonciatives précise. Aucun de ces marqueurs ne relève de la temporalité, sauf en dehors de toute indication contextuelle. Dans la troisème partie, l'auteur traite des relations entre prédicat et actants, indiquées par plusieurs procédés (ordre des constituants, marques actancielles) qui peuvent se combiner dans un même énoncé, en fonction du marqueur aspectuel ou modal et de la valence du prédicat
This study deals with the actancy as well as the aspectual and modal markers in Drehu, an Oceanic language spoken in the island of Lifu (Loyalty islands). It builds on the Theory of Utterance Operations as developed by A. Culioli. The first section concerns the Drehu parts of speech; the author demonstrates the polyfunctionality of Drehu lexical units and the irrelevance of a verb/noun precategorisation. The second section is devoted to the analysis of the mains mood and aspect markers. None of them expresses temporality, except when they occur without any contextual specification. Each of the aspectual and modal markers indicates a specific utterance operation. The third section, about argument structures, shows how predicates and arguments are organized along several devices, which often combine, such as constituent order and argument markers. Their use and pattern depend on the mood or aspect marker, as well as on the valency of the predicate

Dans le contexte de pluralisme culturel que connait depuis plus d'un siecle et demi la nouvelle-caledonie, cette these presente les conditions historiques et culturelles de ce phenomene dans le domaine des pratiques medicales. En retracant l'histoire de l'implantation medicale occidentale a lifou, en faisant ressortir la pluralite des elements qui composent l'ensemble de la societe caledonienne contemporaine et en analysant la particularite des savoirs et savoir-faire therapeutiques populaires, ce travail montre comment a lifou les pratiques de sante fonctionnent de maniere complementaires. La premiere partie de cette these presente les premiers temps de l'assistance medicale indigene et les modalites d'introduction et de diffusion par la mission protestante, puis par l'administration de nouvelles representations et de nouvelles techniques medicales. Cette partie met en exergue la formation et le recours precoce a des pasteurs et infirmiers kanaks, acteurs sociaux qui donnerent un visage locale a cette nouvelle medecine. La seconde partie est consacree a l'etude des transformations et des permanences du mode de vie et specialement des savoirs et savoir-faire therapeutiques lifou qui font face a une forte implantation de la bio-medecine. Sont presentes l'evolution des representations de la maladie et de la guerision, depuis sa definition en passant par les categories de soignants jusqu'aux techniques de soin. La troisieme partie s'attache a montrer comment au travers du cas particulier de la grossesse et de l'accouchement, les representations et la pratique des femmes lifou affirment non seulement la conception cumulative et non exclusive des soins, mais egalement la pluralite des referents culturels dans lequel s'inscrit l'enfant, depuis sa conception jusqu'a sa naissance sociale dans la communaute tribale

In this part the author describe the original history of evangelisation in lifou, history which gave a local aspect to this new medicine. The second part analyse the transformations and the interactions between the traditional and the bio-medical medicine. In the thirst part, from the exemple of obstetrical practices, the author describe the historical and cultural necessity of using the both medical systems, to prevent and save the biological and cultural life of the members of the social group

Abstract:
Cette thèse a pour objet de recherche le mariage et la conjugalité à Lifou, île de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, de 1842, date du début de l’évangélisation, jusqu’à nos jours. Au travers de l’étude de la socialisation au mariage, des rituels matrimoniaux et de leurs transformations, elle cherche à apporter une contribution à la connaissance du système de genre de ce pays kanak. La vie cérémonielle lifoue est actuellement rythmée par d’opulents rituels matrimoniaux. Le système des classes d’âge fait du mariage un passage obligé sans lequel un individu ne peut devenir « adulte » (nyipi atr) ; passage lors duquel le droit d’user des capacités productives et génésiques de l’épouse est transféré au mari. Lors des échanges cérémoniels de mariage, véritable « guerre des dons », l’ensemble des relations qui constituent le réseau des deux parentés en présence est réactivé. Honorer les membres de son réseau de parenté et d’alliance implique de se soumettre au mariage et à la relation de conjugalité. L’institution matrimoniale a été considérablement transformée sous l’action des missionnaires chrétiens, lesquels ont cherché à remplacer le modèle local de la séparation et de l’antagonisme des sexes par un système de genre basé sur le couple conjugal, dans lequel « l’homme est la tête et la femme le corps ». Sous le régime de l’indigénat, les lois coloniales ont renforcé le pouvoir de l’époux sur l’épouse et réduit considérablement la liberté d’action de celle-ci. Ce n’est qu’en 1946 (fin du régime de l’indigénat), et lors des revendications indépendantistes des années 1980, que les femmes de Lifou ont acquis de nouvelles marges de manœuvre et pu ainsi contester l’exercice unilatéral du pouvoir du mari
The research subject of this thesis is marriage and conjugality on Lifou, an island of New Caledonia, from 1842, the beginning of evangelization, up until the present day. By studying socialization for marriage, matrimonial rituels and their transformations, it seeks to make a contribution to knowledge of the gender system of this Kanak region. Ceremonial life on Lifou today is governed by opulent marriage rituals. The age group system makes marriage an obligatory passage without which an individual cannot become an "adult" (nyipi atr). Once married, the productive and reproductive capacities of the wife belong to her husband. During ceremonial marriage exchanges, a veritable "war of gifts", the totality of the relatives who constitute the network of the two kinship groups present is reactivated. Honouring the members of ones kinship and alliance networks involves accepting marriage or a conjugal relationship. Marriage and conjugality were transformed by the action of the Christian missionaries who sought to replace the local model of separation and antagonism between the sexes by a gender system based on the conjugal couple, in which "the man is the head and the woman the body". Under the system of Native Regulations (régime de l’indigénat), colonial laws strengthened a husband's rights over his wife and considerably reduced the latter's freedom of action. It was only in 1946 (the end of the system of Native Regulations), and during the independence protests in the 1980s, that the women of Lifou gained new room for manoeuvre and could thus oppose a husband's unilateral exercise of power

Abstract:
Le milieu littoral des espaces insulaires ultra-marins intertropicaux français est doublement impacté par les aléas hydro-climatiques et sismiques naturels, et par les actions anthropiques déstabilisatrices locales ou globales. Le mémoire traite spécifiquement des cas de Wallis & Futuna et de Lifou (archipel des Loyauté) dans le Pacifique sud et de Mayotte dans l’océan Indien. Il aborde, sous une approche pluridisciplinaire, les différentes facettes du potentiel d’adaptation des populations locales aux variations du niveau marin de différents ordres : ponctuel (associés aux vagues de tempêtes et de tsunami) et global (avec la transgression liée au réchauffement climatique mis en évidence par la communauté scientifique). La montée des eaux, qui semble inéluctable à moyen terme, et les risques hydro-climatiques et sismiques (tsunamis) actuels impliquent que les sociétés devront, dans un futur plus ou moins proche, ajuster leur vision des modes d’occupation de l’espace et tout particulièrement celle du domaine littoral sur lequel vit l’essentiel des populations des îles étudiées. Le croisement des différentes approches disciplinaires abordées dans le mémoire permet de proposer des méthodes et des outils novateurs en vue d’une optimisation des stratégies d’adaptation à la montée des eaux
The coastal environment of French overseas territories is both affected by the hydroclimatic and natural seismic hazards, and local or global destabilizing anthropogenic actions. This PhD deals specifically with cases of Wallis and Futuna and Lifou (Loyalty Islands) in the South Pacific, and Mayotte in the Indian Ocean. In a multidisciplinary approach, it gets onto the different facets of the adaptation potential of local societies when it comes to changes at sea level: occasional (associated with storm waves and tsunami) and global (with sea level rise related to global warming). The sea level rise, that seems inevitable in the medium term, hydro-climatic and seismic (tsunami) risks, means that local societies will probably adjust and organize their territories in a different way, especially coastal area (the most occupied space at the island scale). The different disciplinary approaches crossing can offer innovative tools and methods for optimizing the sea level rise adaptation strategies

Abstract:
Birgus latro est un Coenobitidae ne dépendant du milieu marin que pour son développement larvaire. Il vit sur les îles et îlots coralliens et atolls de l'Indo-Pacifique inter-tropical. L'étude porte sur les populations de Lifou et Vauvilliers, île et îlot de l'archipel des Loyauté et de celle de Taiaro aux Tuamotu à titre comparatif. Dans la population naturelle de Vauvilliers, l'espérance de vie de Birgus latro est de près de 10 ans, ce qui correspond à une taille thoracique de 60 mm pour les mâles et de 43 mm pour les femelles. La maturité sexuelle apparaît entre 2 et 3 ans pour une taille de 25 mm et le taux de mortalité naturelle de 0,19. L'espace trophique individuel est de 0,5 hectare. Des déplacements saisonniers ont lieu pour la reproduction, la ponte et la mue. A Lifou, le stock est estimé à 780000 ± 100000 individus, soit une densité de 27,5 crabes/ha ± 3,5. Les captures concernent annuellement près de 5% du stock. Les juvéniles vivent sous les amas végétaux entre la falaise et l'océan ; devenus adultes, ils envahissent les terres intérieures. Jusqu'à l'âge de 1 an et une taille de 7 mm, le juvénile protège son abdomen d'une coquille ; il en change tous les quatre mois. Il partage son biotope avec d'autres crustacés terrestres. Il occupe le troisième rang d'abondance dans cette communauté
Birgus latro is a Coenobitidae which only depends on the marine environment for its larval development. It lives on coral islands and islets and atolls in the inter tropical Indo-Pacific ocean. This study was carries out of the populations found on Lifou and Vauvilliers, respectively an island and islet of the Loyaulty archipelago, and on that of Taiaro in the Tuamotus by way of comparaison. The natural population of Birgus latro on Vauvilliers was a life expectancy about 10 years corresponding to thoracic sizes of 60 mm for the males and 43 mm for the females. Sexual maturity appears between 2 and 3 years for a size of 25 mm and the natural death rate is 0. 19. The individual trophic space is 0. 5 hectare. Seasonal migrations take place for reproduction, laying of eggs and moulting. On Lifou the stock is estimated at 780,000 ± 100,000, i. E. A density of 27. 5 crabs/ha ± 3. . Each year, the catch is about 5% of the stock. Juvenile crabs live under piles of vegetation between the cliff and the ocean ; once adult, they head inland. Until an age of 1 year and a size of 7 mm, juveniles protect thier abdomen by way of a shell ; these shells must be changed every four mouths.

Abstract:
Teamwork is an essential part of everyday life for many people in today's society. The team members who take part in various teams are essential for the team’s effectiveness. In this thesis I will look at the benefits a company can experience in teamwork through the use of the LIFO® method. To investigate this I have chosen to use a qualitative approach, by interviewing three people from a large transportation company, on how they experienced that LIFO® has contributed to better teamwork. The analysis of my data resulted in five main categories where communication was a superior category, and was an important part in the remaining categories, which are better understanding, LIFO® and effectiveness, the potential LIFO® brings to the table, and the relationship between colleagues. Based on the subjects that are mentioned in the analysis I have discussed the main points against the theory I have used. The main theory comes from Atkins (1999), Johnson & Johnson (2000) and Kvalsund & Meyer (2005). The general experience of the interviewees was that the use of the LIFO® method led to better understanding and awareness of their own and others' use of communication, which led to a number of other positive experiences in relation to teamwork. The interviewees highlighted both some of the same positive experiences, but also personal experiences that they felt were especially important.
Teamarbeid er en viktig del av hverdagen for mange i dagens samfunn. Medlemmer som tar del i ulike team har mye og si for effektiviteten i teamet. I dette studiet vil jeg ta for meg hvilke fordeler en bedrift kan oppleve i teamarbeid ved bruk av LIFO® metoden. For å undersøke dette har jeg valgt å bruke en kvalitativ tilnærming ved å intervjue tre personer fra et stor transport selskap om hvordan de har opplevd at LIFO® har bidratt til bedre teamarbeid. Analysen av dataene mine førte til fem hovedkategorier der kommunikasjon var en overordnet kategori, som hadde en viktig rolle i de resterende kategoriene, som er bedre forståelse, LIFO® og effektivitet, potensialet LIFO® medfører, og forholdet mellom kollegaer. Basert på de emnene som blir tatt opp i analysen har jeg drøftet hovedpunktene opp mot teorien jeg har brukt. Hovedvekt av teorien kommer fra Atkins (1999), Johnson & Johnson (2000) og Kvalsund & Meyer (2005). Den generelle opplevelsen til informantene mine var at bruken av LIFO® førte til bedre forståelse og bevissthet av egen, og andres bruk av kommunikasjon, som igjen medførte en rekke andre positive opplevelser i forhold til teamarbeid. Informantene fremhevet både noen av de samme positive opplevelsene, men også personlige opplevelser som de synes var spesielt viktige.

Full text
Abstract:

The United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) issued a Roadmap in 2008 regarding a change in the American accounting standards system. The Roadmap proposes a potential adoption from the United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US GAAP) to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS). The objective with the adoption is to enhance a one-set of accounting standards used in the world in order to increase comparability between public limited companies in different jurisdictions. With the adoption, the valuation of inventories for American companies will change, since the Last-In, First-Out (LIFO) method is allowed under US GAAP, but not under IFRS. A study from 2008 shows that approximately 36 per cent of American public limited companies is using LIFO. They would therefore be forced to use another inventory valuation method, such as First-In, First-Out (FIFO). The LIFO method is normally used by companies exposed to inflation and increases the cost of goods sold (COGS) and consequently lowers the net income and income tax provision. With the potential adoption, these companies would face large increases of income tax provisions, which would affect them severely.

This thesis is a review study with the objective to connect recent research with the SEC Roadmap in order to answer the following research questions: How will US companies that are using LIFO be affected by the inventory valuation change to FIFO, from an economic and accounting-based approach? What are the positive and negative aspects with a removal of LIFO regarding the IFRS adoption?

There is a clear benefit for the US companies using LIFO regarding the smaller income tax provisions. Opponents consider that LIFO will disappear with the US adoption to IFRS. At the same time, recent research considers or doubts that the LIFO method will not face its death with the adoption from US GAAP to IFRS. As a conclusion, the negative effect of removing LIFO as a consequence of this adoption, is the implementation time period, which is too optimistic. Even though, the credibility with a shift from LIFO to FIFO will grow stronger and create a more comparable business world.

Abstract:
The accounting literature contains no evidence on the reliability of the link-chain variant of dollar-value LIFO as a method of inventory accounting as compared to the double-extension variant. The research produced the first evidence on the topic. Process analyses of the two methods found both to be flawed, with the link-chain method seriously flawed. The link-chain method inappropriately incorporates the price-levels of periods when there is no annual layer to be restated. The resulting, and all subsequent, inventory valuations are misstated. The link-chain and double-extension methods can both produce misstated valuations in periods with layer erosion. The study identifies procedures to correct these errors. Two quantitative experiments were conducted to evaluate the relationship of the inventory valuations produced by the two methods. The first experiment used a small amount real data; the second experiment used a large amount of synthesized data. The experimental results indicated the relationship of the valuations to be circumstantial. Based on the process analyses and the quantitative experiments, the link-chain LIFO method was determined to be an unreliable method of inventory accounting. The quantitative experiments were also used to investigate related issues. The first experiment concluded that a dollar-value LIFO method based on Fisher’s "ideal" index methodology was practicable. The second experiment concluded that adopting the method used by the Bureau of Labor Statistics to assign base-date costs to new or changed items that enter the CPI market basket of goods and services to the double-extension LIFO method was practicable and would not diminish tax revenues. The study recommended that consideration be given to replacing the current double-extension and link-chain methods with a double-extension LIFO with the BLS method. The second experiment also concluded that the IRS’s inventory "turnover" test is probably based on the IRS’s perception of what constitutes taxpayer practicality. The definition of practicality, however, is questioned and alternative definitions are suggested. The study indicated that further research on the relationship of inventory valuations to the income taxation process is needed.

Abstract:
In this masters thesis you can read more about my scientific project on the subject «communication at work». In the thesis I have tried to answer this question: “How do you experience communication at work?” I have used the scientific method Q methodology to answer the question. Q methodology as a method is also presented in more detail in the thesis. My scientific work has been done in a school organization in Norway. The participants have contributed in the project through sorting different statements about the subject “communication at work”. The participants have been asked if they agree, disagree or are neutral to the statements.. The statements have been shaped through theory about communication style, reaction and motive power, and have been adapted to the participant’s communicational universe. There have been 15 participants in the project. Through this the analysis of the information I got, I found a solution with three factors that showed me three different experiences of communication at work. Factor 1 is the safe and open, factor 2 is the likewise and concrete and factor 3 is the innovative and social. Finally, I have seen how this analysis of the three factors can be important for the individual,and for the whole company.
I denne masteroppgåva kan ein lese meir om forskingsprosjektet mitt rundt temaet «kommunikasjon på arbeidsstaden». I oppgåva har eg søkt å svare på problemstillinga: «Korleis opplev du kommunikasjonen på arbeidsstaden din?» For å svare på problemstillinga har eg nytta ein Q-metodisk forskingsmetode, som blir presentert i sin heilskap i oppgåveteksten. Sjølve forskingsprosjektet mitt har blitt gjennomført i ein skuleorganisasjon i ei fylkeskommune i Noreg. Deltakarane har deltatt i forskinga gjennom å sortere utsegn rundt temaet kommunikasjon på arbeidsstaden. Utsegnene ble sortert ut frå kva grad deltakaren opplevde det likt, nøytralt eller ulikt seg sjølv. Sjølve utsegnene har blitt utforma gjennom teori om kommunikasjonsstil, reaksjon og drivkraft, og blitt tilpassa deltakarane sitt kommunikasjonsunivers. Det har vore totalt 15 deltakara som ha deltatt i undersøkinga. Gjennom analyse av datamaterialet, har eg funne fram til ei trefaktorløysing som syner tre forskjellige syn på korleis deltakarane opplever kommunikasjonen på arbeidsstaden. Faktor 1 vert omtalt som den trygge og opne, faktor 2 som den likegyldige og konkrete og faktor 3 som den nyskapande og sosiale. Avslutningsvis har eg sett på korleis analysen av dei tre faktorane kan vere av tyding for den enkelte, samt for verksemda.

Abstract:
Thesis advisor: Billy Soo
Politicians, accountants, and businesspersons have debated the merits of Last-in, First-out (LIFO) inventory accounting for decades. With the inauguration of a new president and increasingly global business markets, this matter is again rising to the forefront of policy debates. It is especially relevant given the likely adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) in the United States. Under IFRS, LIFO would no longer be an option for financial accounting purposes. Though researchers and pundits have written to express strong opinions on this matter, there exists no comprehensive analysis of the effects that a repeal of LIFO would have on the nation. This paper seeks to conduct this analysis and determine the potential effects of LIFO repeal through a qualitative analysis of the merits and shortcomings of LIFO as well as through a quantitative analysis of the industries that would be most affected by LIFO repeal and the tax consequences they would face. This paper looks to make an assessment of the feasibility of LIFO repeal based on these analyses, and to conclude whether LIFO repeal would be beneficial for the nation

Abstract:
Prior LIFO studies have assumed that a LIFO-use firm will avoid liquidating old low-cost inventory layers due to the resulting tax penalty. However, a LIFO-use firm can actually receive a tax subsidy by liquidating inventory layers in a low marginal tax year, thus avoiding the need to liquidate in future higher tax years. This leads to the prediction that low marginal tax rate LIFO firms account for the majority of LIFO liquidations. Using several measures of a firm's marginal tax rate, and controlling for other potential determinants of LIFO liquidations, this prediction receives strong empirical support. The other potential determinants controlled for which are significantly associated with liquidations include: the probability of violating debt covenants, firm specific sales, industry specific production, investment and financing factors (PIFs) and economy wide factors.

Abstract:
On étudie une version d'une correspondance, mise en évidence par Kendall, entre processus de branchement et marches aléatoires. Le Gall et Le Jan l'ont généralisée pour étendre la construction du serpent brownien à des superprocessus à mécanisme de branchement plus général que celui quadratique. Sous des hypothèses encore plus générales, on exhibe une bijection qui transporte les arbres aléatoires marqués, associés à la généalogie d'un processus de branchement, sur les trajectoires d'une file d'attente et qui envoie la loi gouvernant l'histoire de la population sur la loi de la file. Les individus de la population étudiée portent deux marques: le type et la longueur de vie. Les fils de u, conditionné par rapport aux individus qui ne sont pas dans la descendance de u, naissent après des temps exponentiels et portent des marques indépendantes et identiquement distribuées, les lois conditionnelles ne dépendant que du type des ancêtres de u. La file d'attente est obtenue par une exploration déterministe d'abord en profondeur de la généalogie de la population. Cette file est un objet plus général que les processus de Lévy à sauts positifs. Ses propriétés peuvent être étudiées en s'appuyant entièrement sur les propriétés des arbres. Ainsi on montre comment la propriété de Markov de la file d'attente dérive de la propriété de branchement le long d'une branche de l'arbre aléatoire. Pour cela, on remplace le temps réel par un paramètre (branche) plus proche de la généalogie de l'arbre. On prouve la propriété de Markov forte pour la file d'attente dans les nouvelles coordonnées. La propriété de Markov forte en temps réel en découle, les temps optionnels étant des branches optionnelles. Cette technique exige une analyse très fine des rapports s'établissant entre le temps réel qui indexe la file d'attente et la structure généalogique de l'arbre aléatoire sous-jacent
We study a version of the correspondence between branching processes and random walks, that was discovered by Kendall. Le Gall and Le Jan generalized it in order to extend the brownian snake towards superprocesses with more general branching mechanism than the quadratic one. We establish, in more general hypothesis, a deterministic one-to-one map between the labelled random trees describing the genealogy of a branching process and the paths of a queue; this map transports the law which controls the history of the population in the law of the queue. The individuals in the population we study are labelled by their type and longevity. If one conditions with respect to the individuals not in the u's progeny, then u gives birth at exponential times to children bearing independent and identically distributed labels, the conditional laws depending only upon the type of u's ancestry. The queue is obtained via a deterministic depth first exploration of the genealogy of the population. This queue is a more general object than a Lévy process with no negative jumps. Its properties may be studied with the only aid of the corresponding properties of the trees. Thus, we show how the branching property of the tree along branches yields the Markov property of the queue. In this regard, we replace the time with a parameter (the branch) close to the genealogy of the tree and we prove the strong Markov property of the queue in these new coordinates. From this one gets the strong Markov property in real time, because optional times are optional branches. This technique requires a detailed analysis of the relations between the real time indexing the queue and the genealogical structure of the associated random tree

Abstract:
This dissertation addresses the Pickup and Delivery Travelling Salesman Problem withMultiple Stacks and algorithmic approaches to obtain its exact solution. In this problem,a single vehicle must serve a set of customer requests defined by a pair of pickup anddelivery destinations of an item. The vehicle contains a fixed number of stacks whereeach request is loaded at a pickup location and unloaded at the corresponding deliverylocation. Each stack has finite capacity, and its loading/unloading sequence must followthe last-in-first-out policy, i.e. for each stack, just the last item loaded can be unloaded atits corresponding delivery location.We propose a new integer programming formulation for this problem with a polyhedralrepresentation described by exponentially-many inequalities. In particular, we introducea new set of variables used to model the last-in-first-out policy for loading andunloading items. With the inclusion of these new variables, finding violations concerningthe capacity of each stack or the LIFO policy for a given tour can be done by solvingpolynomial problems. These ideas are used within a branch-and-cut algorithm to solvethe proposed formulation.Computational results show that our approach is competitive with the best algorithmin the literature, outperforming it for some benchmark instances. Also, two newcertificates of optimality are provided.
Nesta dissertação, abordamos o Problema do Caixeiro Viajante com Coleta e Entrega sobreCarregamento LIFO (PDTSPMS) e métodos para a obtenção de sua solução exata. Oproblema consiste em determinar o trajeto de menor custo de um veículo que deve atenderum conjunto de requisições de clientes. Cada requisição é composta por uma localizaçãode coleta, onde um determinado item é carregado no veículo, e por uma localizaçãode entrega, onde esse item é descarregado. Para realizar o processo de carregamentoe descarregamento dos items, o veículo conta com um conjunto de pilhas com capacidadefinita. Um item quando carregado neste veículo ocupa o topo de uma das pilhas eapenas itens que estão no topo das pilhas podem ser descarregados nas correspondenteslocalizações de entrega.Apresentamos um nova formulação em Programação Inteira para o problema epropomos um algoritmo branch-and-cut para obter a solução ótima dessa formulação.Em particular, utilizamos um conjunto exponencial de desigualdades para modelar apolítica de carregamento do veículo através da adição de umnovo conjunto de variáveis.A partir da inclusão dessas novas variáveis, conseguimos identificar violações da políticade carregamento (seja na ordem ou na capacidade) para um dado trajeto através da resoluçãode problemas polinomiais.Resultados computacionais mostram que nosso algoritmo é competitivo em relaçãoao melhor algoritmo proposto na literatura, resolvendo algumas instâncias de testecom menor tempo computacional.

Použitie zameraného ultrazvuku pomáha zachraňovať a uľahčovať ľudské životy, nakoľko práve jeho využitím môžeme liečiť epilepsiu, ničiť rakovinové bunky a zastavovať vnútorné krvácanie neinvazívnou cestou, ktorá predstavuje pre človeka prijateľnejšie a bezpečnejšie riešenie. Vzhľadom na to, že bezpečnosť a zdravie človeka je prioritou pri liečení závažných ochorení, sa táto práca zaoberá porovnaním rôznych evolučných algoritmov a ich použitím pri návrhu evolučných ultrazvukových operačných plánov. V práci sa využívajú dva typy médií, a to homogénne médium a heterogénne médium. Pri vyhodnocovaní algoritmov sa zameriavame na efektivitu s ohľadom na veľkosť populácie, počet evaluácií fitness funkcie a  výpočetný čas. V homogénnom médiu sa ako najlepší algoritmus ukázal CMA-ES, ktorý v priebehu 20 sekúnd dokázal nájsť optimálne riešenie so 100% pokrytím cieľovej oblasti pre rotované zrnko ryže. Heterogénne médium je ale oveľa zložitejší problém, predovšetkým kvôli lebke, ktorá odráža a pohlcuje veľkú časť ultrazvuku. Tu sa ako najlepší preukázal algoritmus SA, ktorý našiel výsledok s 23% pokrytím cieľovej oblasti v prvom testovacom scenári. Doba výpočtu trvala približne 1 hodinu a 18 minút, čo značí že je čas veľmi znemožňujúci ("drahý") faktor.

Abstract:
Malgré les préoccupations environnementales et climatiques, le charbon thermique reste la première source d'énergie utilisée dans la production d'électricité au monde. Face à une très forte demande mondiale, le marché maritime du charbon thermique se développe considérablement. Depuis les années 2000, ce dernier fait face à des changements structurels économiques importants. L'objectif de cette thèse est d'apporter une analyse structurelle du marché maritime du charbon thermique depuis les années 2000. À travers cette analyse, nous cherchons à expliquer l'évolution de ce marché et à déterminer les facteurs économiques et institutionnels permettant d'expliquer sa configuration. Cette thèse est constituée de trois chapitres. Dans le premier chapitre, nous définissons le marché selon les critères de produit. Nous décrivons par la suite la chaîne de valeur de l'industrie du charbon thermique afin de souligner les facteurs expliquant l'évolution de cette industrie, notamment depuis les chocs pétroliers des années 1970. Dans le deuxième chapitre, nous analysons de façon empirique la configuration du marché maritime du charbon thermique et son évolution entre 2000 et 2010. Cette analyse souligne la mesure selon laquelle les coûts du transport maritime et du fret sont susceptibles de représenter une barrière à l'entrée pertinente sur ce marché. Finalement, dans le troisième chapitre, nous déterminons le(s) facteur(s) permettant d'expliquer le schéma et la configuration du marché mondial du charbon thermique. Pour ce faire, nous modélisons théoriquement le comportement des exportateurs et leur stratégie d'entrée face à des coûts unitaires du fret et du transport maritime sur le marché mondial dans un cadre structurel prédéfini en amont
Despite the environmental and climate concerns, steam coal is still the first thermal energy used in the electricity generation worldwide. Faced to an increasing global demand, the steam coal seaborne market is developing considerably. From the 2000s, the steam coal maritime market faces several economic structural changes. The aim of this PhD dissertation is to bring a structural analysis of the steam coal maritime market from the 2000s. Through this research, we want to determine the economic and institutional factors helping to explain the configuration of the market. This PhD thesis involves three chapters. In the first chapter, we define the market over product space. Then, we describe the value chain of the steam coal industry in order to highlight the factors explaining the evolution of the industry, particularly by the oil crisis in the 1970s. In the second chapter, we empirically analyze the configuration of the steam coal maritime market and its evolution from 2000 to 2010. This analysis emphasizes the degree by which the seaborne transport costs and freight costs may represent a relevant barrier to entry on the market. Finally, in the third chapter, we determine the factor(s) explaining the schema and the configuration of the world steam coal market. To do so, we model the exporters’ behavior and their entry strategy faced to unit freight and seaborne costs in a predefined market structure

Liou Bor-leh began to draw illustrations for children’s books since year 1979 until September 2004. During the period, he completed illustrations for 109 books, including his own books, and more on textbooks, newspapers, and magazines. This paper probes into the topics of Liou Bor-leh and children’s literature, Liou Bor-leh’s illustrations, picture books, and other picture books based on Liou Bor-leh’s illustrations. The results are as follow: 1.Liou Bor-leh’s childhood experience, namely playing in the fields, and his working experience as an art designer in the children’s books editing group of the former Ministry of Education have significant influence on his illustrations. 2.As he established his style after the exploration period in his early days in drawing, he is skilled in the variation of lines created by dip-pen, and mixed with color ink, color pencil, and famille rose to create pictures of unique touch. 3.His choice of themes is mainly characters in the rural area of Taiwan and sceneries. He pays exceptional attention to the details in the folk life and the scenes to depict the most authentic life in Taiwan, such as T-shirt with Taiwanese characters, people sitting on wooden stools with their legs crossed in the countryside, female peasants wearing leaf hat and cotton prints without only two eyes revealed, and residential houses surrounded by bamboo fences, electric poles, and disarrayed antennas. 4.In children’s books market, where cute and big-eyes characters are the norms, Liou Bor-leh created unique local characters with long eyes and slim fingers in simple lines. 5.Liou Bor-leh preferred to illustrate with his impression of Taiwan as the backdrop, and conveyed his concern for the natural environment in his illustrations and books. Liou Bor-leh has been drawing for 26 years, and still has new works that contain his unique characteristics and the features of Taiwan coming out every year. He is truly an experienced and representative artist in Taiwan.

San Liou Chiou Tabloid began publication during Japanese colonial rule. From 1930 to 1935, there were 479 numbers of its publication. The topics and forms of the understandable and humorous tabloid are multiple and diversified. With the methods of Literature Analysis and Content Investigation, the purpose of this thesis is to analyze its joke columns, then to observe the life style of the time and to display the artistic values and functions of these jokes. There are five chapters in total. The summaries of each chapter are as follows: Chapter One: Preface, the interpretation of the whole framework. Chapter Two: The analyse of its joke columns and classifications. Beginning with the probe into the origins of column names, the thesis explores the meaning of column arrangement further; afterward, explains the classifications and the images of the characters in jokes. Chapter Three: The jokes can reflect the social issues and folklores and the contents are so close to citizen culture that they can arouse people’s echo. Since jokes are about life, the social phenomenon at that time can be conceived after making a painstaking investigation of jokes. Chapter Four: The explanation of the artistic form and function of jokes. First, the multiple languages of this tabloid are researched, and then the thesis illustrates the particular language usages of the time. Besides the diverse languages, many skills are adopted to enhance the humor of jokes. The interesting contents can not only make people lighthearted, but deliver knowledge relaxingly: by observing the ugliness of others, people can make self-examination. Chapter Five: The summary of the former chapters and explication of author’s discovery and expectation about jokes. To sum up, the witty style of San Liou Chiou Tabloid was distinctive in Taiwan newspaper industry at that time. Piecing together the trifles in joke columns makes the daily life of the time comprehended. Furthermore, after peeling off joyful sugar coating of each joke, the inner cultural energies , in fact, are abundant, forming an unique kind of literature during Japanese colonial rule. It also starts a different writing level.

The dried root of Euphorbia kansui Liou. was extracted with acetone and then the residue was extracted with methanol, and concentrated under reduce pressure to give the crude extract of acetone and methanol, respectively. The crude extract was partitioned successively between n-hexane, chloroform, methanol with water. According to the result of thin-layer chromatography, the n-hexane layer of acetone extract was combined to the same layer of methanol extract, and then two H2O layers were also combined together. Each layer was separated by column, thin-layer chromatography, HPLC and recrystallization to afford thirty-two compounds. Among them, twenty-five compounds were elucidated as follows:20-deoxyingenol-3-benzoate,20-deoxyingenol-5-benzoate,ingenol-3, 4:5, 20-diacetonide,kansuiphorin-C,kansuiphorin-E,kansuiphorin-F,kansuiphorin-G,kansuinine-A,kansuinine-C,euphol,tirucallol,24, 25-epoxylanosterol,cycloart- 25-ene-3β, 24-diol,nariifolione,euphokanin-A,β—sitosterol,3β-methoxysitost- 5-en,stigmasterol,scopoletin,3, 3’-di-O-methylellagic acid,benzoic acid, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furaldehyde,methoxybenzene,3-hydroxybenzaldehyde,methyl-3, 4-dihydroxybenzoate.

The main purposes of this qualitative research were to describe the early childhood educational ecological systems in Liou-Ciou,trying to investigate two preschool teachers’curriculum consciousness and curriculum practice in Liou-Ciou. Researcher spent one and a half year collecting the information from classroom observation and deep interviews with related persons, including photography and documents. Atlas and Excel were used to analyze the information. Findings of the research were as below: 1.Teachers’ curriculum consciousness was influenced by personal background, experiences about curriculum theory and practice, and teaching environment. 2.Teachers’ consciousness included two parts; one was teachers’ curriculum philosophy, and the other, their senses and feelings about curriculum experiences. 3.There were six areas in teachers’ curriculum practice: the activity type, the content of curriculum, the teaching strategies, the evaluation of curriculum, the resources of curriculum and the teachers’ powers over curriculum. 4.The wisdom of practice for curriculum was displayed between teachers’ curriculum consciousness and their curriculum practice. Curriculum consciousness could be implemented in practice, and after the results of the practices, teachers would adjust their curriculum consciousness accordingly. 5.The disadvantages of education in Liou-Ciou seemed to be the limited geographical and economic conditions. Children in Liou-Ciou had had a high risk of family structure for a long time. Based on those findings mentioned above, several suggestions were mentioned.

Aboriginal literature at Taiwan in the 1980s was driven to thrive by aboriginal movement. It has evolved into an unique literary stream two decades later, And show a boom which is different from Chinese literature based on Chinese culture. I focus my study on Lifok Oteng (黃貴潮), an Amis senior lived a long life from late Japanese colonial era, early post-war period, 1980s,1990s to now, as my research subject. During his long life story, Lifok Oteng had a special life sequence because of his status ,life experience and rough destiny. All his writings passed several political changes in Taiwan. So these writings survived in the cracks. That become a rare starting point to study the aborigine about late Japanese colonial era and cross-language culture. Oral history and life story research become the major research subjects on many field these years. Especially focus from the first small beginnings to see how things will develop, instead of the huge framework. Besides, Lifok Oteng was different from other aboriginal writers came from aboriginal movement after 1980s. He always concentrated his attention on the anthropology researches about Amis. Almost his monographs were written for anthropology. However, If we pay more attention to literary texts of these anthropology researches, such as diaries, ballads collection, prayer songs, legends, etc. And classify these texts. We can find a deeper way to realize the fact of literature and culture. My study expect to escape from the framework of ethnography. Try to defined the sequence of Lifok Oteng’s works. Make him a proper position of the aboriginal literature at Taiwan.

This study uses a revised EBM model as the main research framework and makes a thorough inquiry to visitors who have been to Liouciou Scenic Area. The aims of this research are as follows: 1. To investigate visitors’ behaviors at Liou-Ciou Scenic Area and to evaluate different alternatives by applying the cluster analysis. 2. To explore how visitors’ travel motivations influence information search behaviors and evaluation alternatives. 3. To find out the differences in travel motivations, information search behaviors and evaluation alternatives from different demographic variables. 4. To examine how various travel motivations, information search behaviors, and evaluation alternatives influence behavioral intentions. According to the result of factor analysis, travel motivations could be divided into five dimensions: "To accomplish dreams and self-growth," " "To experience nature and scenic," "Relax and release stress," "To participate in folk activities," and "To cultivate relatives and friends’ interpersonal feelings"; information search behaviors also include five dimensions: "Traditional Channels," "Active Search," "Experience Orientation," "Others Opinion," and "Pre-search,"; there are four dimensions within evaluation alternatives: "The stress on the natural environment and security," "The focus on the environmental facility and the price," "The emphasis on family fun and adventure," and "Attention to the crowd to stay away from people." Based on different demographic variables, this study applies ANOVA analyses to three dimensions, which are "Travel Motivations," "Information Search Behaviors" and "Evaluation Alternatives”. According to the analysis, part of the above-mentioned demographic variables showed significant differences in these dimensions. Regression analysis revealed that "Travel motivation", "Information Search" and "Evaluation Alternatives" had significant influence on "Behavioral Intentions" and that "Travel Motivations" had significant effect upon "Information Search Behaviors" and "Evaluation Alternatives ". The purpose of this study is also to use cluster analysis to analyze "Evaluation Alternatives", and the results divides into two groups, namely "the traditional tourist type" and "the natural security type." This study also provided suggestions of the development of tourism in Hsiao Liou-ciou to management unit and give directions for follow-up researchers.

Hakka people is around all of Taiwan, they have different culture and characteristic. For the Liou-Duai hakka area where acorss kaohsiung county and pingtung county has special hakka culture and preserve many hakka customs. The hakka customs of Liou-Duai area are worthy to study advanced. With the grand old man pass away, many young man continue and succeed to learn and protect the traditional culture. So let the hakka culture could be handed down for generations. The process of ancestry commemoration is called as“掛紙”which pronounced in Hakka language. Although the hakka people is one of the Han nationalities and has similar customs. But the process of ancestry commemoration is so different in many aspects. Such as the date of ancestry commemoration. In this study, we try to understand the background and what is the meaning of what we do during the ancestry commemoration process. For this purpose, we want to realize the culture of ancestry commemoration by the method of in-depth interview and participate observation .Besides, we try to analysis the differences between the date, process and the meaning of ancestry commemoration. Finally, we talk about the taboos of ancestry commemoration. Through the study, we could establish the full process of the hakka ancestry commemoration in Liou-Duai area.

Liou, Ying-Hong, a Taiwanese native stone-carving master, was born in 1943 in Sanshia Township of Taipei County. It was in 1947 when Sanshia Master Temple in Taipei County was undergoing restoration for the last time and many major Taiwanese stone-carving masters at the time were gathering on the scene that Liou, Ying-Hong had the chance to see and hear about stone-carving since young and started to be fascinated by the skill. In 1956 when Liou, Ying-Hong was 13 years old, he entered Sanshia Master Temple in Taipei County to learn stone-carving and thus opened up his future career. His craftsmanship was much influenced by many well-known stone-carving masters in Taiwan, mostly from two masters, Shih Tian-fu and Chian Zhi-chong from whom he inherited the skills. During his professional career, he also followed stone-carving masters such as Chang Mu-cheng and Chang Ching-yu, the grandchild of Mr. Chiang Hsing to participate in many stone-carving projects in temples across the island. Before 1968, Liou, Ying-Hong mainly followed masters Shih Tian-fu and Chang Mu-cheng to participate in stone-carving in temples in Tainan City and Tainan County, and Taipei City and Taipei County. There were also projects of small number of temples located in Changhwa County, Chiayi County and Pingtung County. Starting from 1968, Liou, Ying-Hong(23 years old at the time) engaged himself in temple’s stone-carving construction projects. His territory is mainly in northern Taiwan with a total of 33 temples including Sanshia Master Temple of Taipei County, Baofu Temple in Yonghe City of Taipei County, Hsingtien Temple of Taipei City, Wanli Wannian Temple of Tainan City, Dali Tiangong Temple of Yilan County, Dashi Furen Temple of Taipei County, Jiulong Mountain Yu Ching Temple of Yilan County, Fude Temple in Chonghe City of Taipei County, Zhi Shuan Temple in Bade City of Taoyuan County, and KaiChang ShenWang Temple in Neihu District of Taipei City. Yuan Ze Memorial Hall located in Taipei City is the only one non-temple stone-carving construction project that Liu Ying-hong took part in. In 1988, Liou, Ying-Hong was fully retired. His more than 30-year long stone-carving career allowed him to witness the entire history of the stone-carving industry in Taiwan from post Pacific War till the 1980s. This paper tries to establish the life history of master Liou, Ying-Hong through his personal history, the distribution and style of his artworks, and his manipulation of stones in various subject matters so as to understand his position as a stone-carving master in Taiwan and the historical background of Taiwan’s stone-carving industry after the Pacific War.

Fuzzy theory is suitable to apply to uncertainly things in the natural world. Therefore this study use fuzzy theory build up the landslide hazard evaluation model in the Liou-guei village. According to the literature review, choose the elevation, slope, aspect, geology and vegetation as the factors used in the model. An object of study is the landslide that caused by Mindulle typhoon. First, processed the image subtraction by two period SPOT satellite images, and identification the landslide area to analyze the environmental characteristic, and set up the high, moderate, low landslide hazard degree. Building the membership function and giving the membership degree. Then calculate the landslide weighting of the five factors by analytic hierarchy process (AHP). Final, use the fuzzy synthesis assessment and geographic information system (GIS), present the different landslide hazard degree in the study area and overlay the landslide area by the Mindulle typhoon and 921 earthquakes. Detecting this model can effective present different landslide hazard degree, to determine the endanger degree, to provide reference for the advanced warning decision system.

One of the most popular approaches for the constructions of optical buffers needed for optical packet switching is to use Switched Delay Lines (SDL). Recent advances in the literature have shown that there exist systematic SDL construction theories for various types of optical buffers, including First In First Out (FIFO) multiplexers, FIFO queues, priority queues, linear compressors, non-overtaking delay lines, and flexible delay lines. As parallel FIFO queues with a shared buffer are widely used in many switch architectures, e.g., input-buffered switches and load-balanced Birkhoff-von Neumann switches, in this paper we propose a new SDL construction for such queues. The key idea of our construction for parallel FIFO queues with a shared buffer is {\em two-level caching}, where we construct a dual-port random request queue in the upper level (as a high speed storage device) and a system of scaled parallel FIFO queues in the lower level (as a low speed storage device). By determining appropriate dumping thresholds and retrieving thresholds, we prove that the two-level cache can be operated as a system of parallel FIFO queues with a shared buffer. Moreover, such a two-level construction can be recursively expanded to an $n$-level construction, where we show that the number of $2 \times 2$ switches needed to construct a system of $N$ parallel FIFO queues with a shared buffer $B$ is $O(N \log N \log (B/N\log N))$ for $N >>1$. For the case with $N=1$, i.e., a single FIFO queue with buffer $B$, the number of $2 \times 2$ switches needed is $O(\log B)$. This is of the same order as that previously obtained by Chang \emph{et al}. We also show that our two-level recursive construction can be extended to construct a system of $N$ parallel Last In First Out (LIFO) queues with a shared buffer by using the same number of $2\times 2$ switches, i.e., $O(N \log N \log (B/N\log N))$ for $N>>1$ and $O(\log B)$ for $N=1$. Finally, we show that a great advantage of our construction is its fault tolerant capability. The reliability of our construction can be increased by simply adding extra optical memory cells (the basic elements in our construction) in each level so that our construction still works even when some of the optical memory cells do not function properly.

Most of the sports stadiums in Taiwan have been supported and operated by the government for a long time. However, due to lack of budgets and experienced managerial personnel, the function of sports fields has not been fully utilized. This objective of this study is two fold: first, is to investigate the customer satisfaction of the Dou-Liou baseball stadium in Yunlin county; second, is to study the feasibility of outsourcing management of the stadium. Hopefully, the result of this study will provide guideline for local government to improve stadium’s quality service and to develop outsourcing management plan. The result of this study shows that: 1. The overall customer satisfaction of Dou-Liou baseball stadium is in the “very satisfied” and “satisfied” range. 2. The satisfied parts of the facilities are “baseball practice field” and “excise space”. 3. The dissatisfied parts of the facilities are “facility cleanness” and “surrounding shopping functionality”. 4. The feasibility study suggests that the stadium can be outsourcing by means of “operate-transfer” or “rent-operate-transfer” method.
