Background of the Study
The aims of this study was to specifically investigate the differences in culture, attitude towards life and social networks between Australian and Taiwanese men and women in addition to determining the factors that predict midlife men and women's quality of life in both countries. Because individualism and collectivism are the two most thoroughly researched constructs in inter-cultural and cross-cultural studies we should look at how these construct affects societies. The theme for individualist cultures (such as Western cultures) is autonomy, while the theme for collectivist cultures (such as Asian cultures) is connection. Most literature available on individualism and collectivism note all cultures have different values that influence their society and ultimately a person's individual health outcome. Very little work has been undertaken in this domain in Australia or Taiwan, particularly in the area of midlife transition and from a cultural perspective.
Methodology
Data was collected from a cross-sectional, supervised self-administered survey using census data and a probability proportional sampling (PPS) strategy on a general population of men and women aged 40-59 years old who live permanently in Brisbane, Australia and Taipei, Taiwan. The study population was divided into 163 Statistical Local Areas (SLAs) in Brisbane, and 449 Local Government Communities (LGCs) in Taipei. Sixty clusters were randomly selected using probability proportional sampling (PPS) to obtain 30 Australian clusters and 30 Taiwanese clusters. In this study, the 30 (areas) by 7(people) method was used with an additional strategy. The variables were measured including: culture (vertical and horizontal individualism and collectivism), attitude towards life (the total score of optimism), social networks (the total score of emotional, informational, affectionate, tangible, and positive social interaction) and quality of life (physical, psychological, social, and environmental health), social demographical factors and religion and spiritualty. The data analysis procedure included descriptive, bivarite and multivariate multiple regressions and classifications and regression trees (CART). A comparison of the linear regression and regression tree results were discussed. All data analysis was performed by SPSS and S-Plus softwares.
Results
The overall response rate for the study was 84.2% for midlife Australian men and women and 88.4% for midlife Taiwanese men and women this resulted in 278 Australians (45.3% men) and 398 Taiwanese (35.4% men) providing data to be analysed. Findings in this study indicated country of residence has an overwhelming impact on quality of life with significant differences seen between midlife Australian and Taiwanese men and women (F4, 666= 59.31, P< .001). Results suggest midlife Australian men and women have a better quality of life than midlife Taiwanese men and women. In addition, a comparison of the linear regression and regression tree results reveals that two models identified the same major affect variable for different countries of residence: which was attitude towards life in midlife Australians and social networks in midlife Taiwanese. However, regression trees were able to capture important nonlinear effects as well as interactions between cultural attribute variables. This study demonstrated culture significantly involves multiple functions and interacts with attitude towards life, social networks and individual factors to influence a person's quality of life. The interaction of cultural circumstances and the internal and external factors involved, show less comparative attributes and increased equality attributes, defining the need for people to have a good social networks and a healthy positive disposition.
Conclusion
Because of the ever increasing flexibility of world travel and a global population, people have much more opportunity to interact with many other cultures which would create improvement in learning opportunities and better health management effectiveness for people the world over. This study has addressed and contributed to the assessment of multi-cultural quality of life research and has important implications for all health professions in addition to government departments and organisational policy makers of both countries. And finally, this study has identified that there needs to be a concerted effort to implement major policy shifts in the near future because of the changing fabric of modern societies. At the same time technology and globalisation have advanced rapidly and point to new opportunities within and across countries for more diverse approaches in research and the implementation of policy initiatives to occur. This study has highlighted that opportunities exist to reflect on current policies for Australian and Taiwanese societies to provide enhanced opportunities to care for the growing midlife populations.

Full textAbstract:
Familial hemiplegic migraine (FHM) is a rare, autosomal-dominant, form of migraine with aura. Sporadic hemiplegic migraine (SHM) is a heterogeneous disorder, where some patients may have a pathophysiology identical to FHM, with a mutation in one of the FHM genes (CACNA1A, ATP1A2, SCN1A), but others, possibly the majority, may have a different pathophysiologic background. In our study we have described 24 patients (13 FHM and 11 SHM) and their genetic screenings, positive for mutations only in 3 cases, 2 of them in apparently sporadic cases. All the mutations, 2 missense and 1 nonsense, are in ATP1A2 gene. Our results confirm a more frequent involvement of the ATP1A2 gene in the sporadic cases and, in our opinion, an identical pathogenesis of the Familial and the Sporadic forms. Moreover, the absence of mutations in the HM genes in the other 12 familial cases is probably the result of the involvement of many other genes and it underlines the crucial role of a biobank like this one.

Full textAbstract:
La traduction française du Hong Lou Meng date de plus d'un siècle. De nos jours, il existe en France trois extraits traduits et deux traductions en volume parmi lesquelles celle de Li Tche-houa a permis aux lecteurs français d'apprécier cette grande oeuvre dans son intégralité. Néanmoins, depuis 1981, aucune orientation théorique n'a permis de procéder systématiquement à l'interprétation et à la critique de cette traduction. C'est la raison principale qui nous a conduits à choisir la traduction de ce roman comme sujet de notre thèse. Notre but est d'explorer une nouvelle méthodologie pour mieux traduire l'œuvre originale. Nous avons d'abord clarifié l'objectif central de la traduction de ce roman. Du point de vue esthétique, on définit sa valeur centrale par la notion de « beauté poétique qui privilégie le sentiment», lequel constitue aussi l'objectif central de la traduction du roman. Puis nous avons indiqué que la beauté ne préexiste pas au jugement esthétique, mais que les deux surviennent de manière concomitante. Une fois identifié l'objet de la traduction, nous avons souligné que la mission principale de la traduction du roman ne réside pas dans l'expression des éléments subjectifs ni objectifs, mais dans la représentation de leurs « relations» dynamiques et dialectiques. Ainsi le processus proprement dit de la traduction littéraire est-il réexprimé sous la forme «empathie -exotopie - surplus de vision- recréation». Enfin nous avons émis une hypothèse du point de vue esthétique : l'unité de traduction du Hong Lou Meng réside dans l'image qui peut être représentée esthétiquement dans le texte traduitThis dissertation is made of an introduction and five chapters. The introduction highlights above all the reason why we have chosen the perspective of "poetic beauty" as our main approach to the translation of this novel. Therefore, our discussions of theory and skills are confined to the esthetic framework. After introducing the history of the translation and studies of Hong Lou Meng in France to serve both as the basis of our demonstration and contribution to the "Redology" (the study of the novel A Dream of Red Mansions) in China, we have announced the contents and the connections of the five chapters, so as to clarizy the general structure of the dissertation. Finally, we have summarized the main arguments defended in the thesis. The first chapter tries to elucidate several theoretical problems. After having clarified the main target, the principal mission and the process, and put forward hypotheses concerning the unit of translation of Hong Lou Meng, we have set out arguments for our new strategy of translation based on three elements : image of word, image of rhetoric and image of rhythm. Besides, the translator should also pay attention to the coherence of the images, thereby completing the "atmosphere" of the translated work and achieving the core objective which consists in the representation of the artistic vision of the riginai work. In summary, the demonstration of the five chapters in this dissertation has presented a circular operation of "mindmosphere - image - discourse - image- mindmosphere", which corresponds with our interpretation of the bi-directional circular movement of the subjective and objective factors in the translation of Hong Lou Meng

Full textAbstract:
Underrepresentationen av kvinnligt ledarskap inom idrott har under de senaste åren blivit mycket uppmärksammat av både forskare och institutioner. Forskningen redogör för att kvinnliga huvudtränare stöter på hinder både på samhälls-, organisations- och individnivå. Problemen relateras framför allt till rekrytering och könsstereotyper, det finns uppfattningar om hur en kvinnlig ledare ska vara och det finns uppfattningar om hur en tränare ska vara - dessa två stämmer inte alltid överens med varandra. Kvinnliga ledare hämmas av de könsstereotyper som råder i samhället samtidigt som forskning visar att kvinnliga huvudtränare hämmas vid en rekrytering. Kvinnliga huvudtränare är underrepresenterade generellt i idrottsvärlden.Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka om samma problematik som forskningen redogör för även förekommer i Sverige. Syftet med studien är därför att bidra med ökad förståelse om varför kvinnliga huvudtränare är underrepresenterade i SHE, svenska högstaligan för damer i handboll. För att kunna uppfylla studiens syfte och svara på problemformuleringen utgår rapporten från semistrukturerade intervjuer som genomförts med sju olika föreningar som deltar i SHE säsongen 2020/2021. Den teoretiska referensramen är utformad utifrån tidigare forskning, statistik över hur många män och kvinnor som har genomfört en tränarutbildning, könsstereotyper som tycks hämma kvinnor samt information om hur en rekryteringsprocess går till. Studiens empiri som grundar sig i föreningarnas svar ställs i relation till den teoretiska referensramen i studiens analys. I studiens analys kan författarna konstatera att det finns faktorer som hämmar men också faktorer som borde gynna kvinnor. Kvinnliga huvudtränare anses till viss del hämmas av de könsstereotyper som råder i dagens samhälle och det finns även en del av rekryteringsprocessen där kvinnliga ledare skulle kunna hämmas. Den slutgiltiga slutsatsen som presenteras är tudelad men tyder trots allt på att kvinnliga huvudtränare i den svenska högstaligan skulle kunna hämmas av både rekryteringsprocessen och könsstereotyper.The underrepresentation of female leadership in sports has recently been noticed by both researchers and institutions. Female head coaches face obstacles on social, organizational, and individual levels. The problems are mainly related to recruitment and gender stereotypes, there are perceptions of how a female leader should be and how a head coach should be. These two do not match each other. Female leaders are affected negatively by the society’s gender stereotypes and research shows that female head coaches are examined more closely. Female head coaches are underrepresented generally in the world and statistics show that it’s the same in Sweden. The purpose of the work is thus to examine the Swedish Handball Elite (SHE) and investigate if the same problem exists in Sweden too. The purpose of the study is to contribute with a better understanding of why female head coaches are underrepresented in the SHE.To be able to fulfill the purpose of the study and respond to the problem formulation semi-structured interviews have been made with different teams in the SHE. The theoretical frame of reference is designed based on previous research, statistics of how many women and men that have completed a coaching education, gender stereotypes that affect women negatively and information about how a recruitment process works. The study’s empirical data that is based on the team’s answers and is set in relation to the theoretical frame of reference in the analysis of the study. In the analysis of the study the authors can state that there are factors that both positive and negative affect women. Female head coaches are considered to be negatively affected by the gender stereotypes that prevail in the society and there are also parts of the recruitment process where women could be negatively affected. The conclusion that is presented is somewhat divided but indicates that female head coaches in the SHE partly could be affected negatively by both the recruitment process and gender stereotypes.

Full textAbstract:
Today' s Sport organizations faces many challenges; they are to compete not just only on the pitch but also in many other fields. The commercialization of sports has contributed to that these sport organizations has evolved to be more like a regular company rather than just a non-profit sport team. With it comes the importance of brand and sponsorship. Today in 2019 it’s more common than ever that companies that offers gambling sponsor sport organizations. Public debate about the topic has concluded that gambling addiction is a growing public health problem in Sweden. This creates a dilemma for sport clubs and their directors, funding from sponsors is crucial for the success of the team but at the same time these sport clubs need to care about their brand. The purpose of this study is to examine how the attitudes of the supporters is affected by the sponsor agreements with gambling companies. The study also aims at seeking understanding in how sport organizations act according with Corporate Social Responsibility and the ideals of sports. To examine this topic five different theories has been used, in which four are brand theories and one is the Corporate Social Responsibility. The brand theories are as follows: Brand Equity, Brand Relationships, Word of Mouth and Brand Image Transfer. This study uses Triangulation as a method in form as semi-structured interviews and surveys. The result from this study implies that supporters indeed has negative attitudes towards gambling organizations, these negative attitudes affect sport brands in a negative way. Sponsorship deals from other organizations that the supporters have positive attitudes towards can help to decrease these negative impacts. The result also implies that most of the supporters doesn’t have an opinion about the club’s sponsorship deals.Dagens idrottsorganisationer ställs inför mängder med utmaningar, de behöver inte bara nå framgång på planen utan även inom många andra områden. Idrottens kommersialisering har bidragit till att föreningar drivs mer och mer som ett företag, där varumärke och sponsring är två centrala delar. Samtidigt har de sin grund i idrotten och dess normer samt ideal. Just nu, år 2019, är det vanligt förekommande att spelbolag sponsrar idrottsverksamheter. Detta är någonting som skapat en stor samhällsdebatt då många, inklusive folkhälsoinstitutet, menar att spelmissbruk är ett växande folkhälsoproblem i Sverige. Detta skapar ett stort dilemma för idrottsklubbarna, samtidigt som de behöver kapital för att bedriva verksamheten behöver de också värna om sitt varumärke. Studiens syfte är att söka förståelse för hur supportrarnas syn på idrottsvarumärkena påverkas av spelbolagens sponsring; samt hur idrottsorganisationerna förhåller sig till Corporate Social Responsibility och idrottens normer och värderingar. För att undersöka detta har de fyra varumärkesteorierna Brand Equity, Brand Relationships, Word of Mouth och Brand Image Transfer använts i denna studie. Corporate Social Responsibility har även använts som en kompletterande teori. I Studien används triangulering som forskningsmetod, där representanter från Brynäs IF och Linköping HC medverkat i semi-strukturerade intervjuer. Dessutom har 238 supportrar till Brynäs IF och 100 supportrar till Linköping HC svarat på studiens enkätundersökning. Resultatet i denna studie visar att det existerar negativa attityder gentemot spelbolag från klubbarnas supportrar, dessa negativa attityder har visat att det bidrar till en negativ påverkan på klubbarnas varumärken. Resultatet visar också att samma sponsoravtal kan ha varierande påverkan på olika klubbars varumärke. Sponsoravtal som supportrarna ställer sig positiva till kan dock hjälpa till att motverka dessa negativa effekter. Resultatet visar att de flesta av klubbarnas supportrar är neutralt inställda till klubbarnas sponsoravtal.

Full textAbstract:
B-cell chronic lymphocytic leukemia (B-CLL) is the most common leukemia in adults and it is characterized by the accumulation of monoclonal small CD5+ B lymphocytes, in peripheral blood, bone marrow and lymphoid organs. The clinical course encompasses indolent to aggressive disorders, the latter requiring intensive therapeutic intervention.
In the past, several clinical and biological prognostic factors have been proposed, including clinical stage, lymphocyte doubling time, bone marrow infiltration, percentage of prolymphocytes, serum β2 microglobulin, tymidine kinase and soluble CD23 levels. Even if these factors correlate with the clinical outcome of the CLL, they were not able to predict the evolution of the disease in patients at the earliest stages of disease. For this reason novel prognostic factors able to predict at diagnosis the clinical evolution of the disease and stratifying patients into groups with a different risk degree have been recently identified.
During the three years of this project we collected pheripheral blood samples from 247 patients affected by B-CLL referring to our Hematology and Clinical Immunology Unit and we evaluated the prognostic role of some new factors, including: somatic hypermutations of the Ig variable region genes (SHM), BCR VH repertoire, expression of CD38, CD305 and ZAP-70 in leukemic cells.
By flow cytometry, we compared two techniques for ZAP-70 analysis: the isotype control and the ratiometric method. Between the two methods we selected the second one because it was indipendent of the operator and more reproducible. Then we standardized this method for our laboratory instruments. We optimized threshold value for ZAP-70 expression and we selected the cut-off that had greatest sensitivity and specificity. Finally we compared the results obtained from 4 different monoclonal antibodies (MoAb) anti-ZAP-70, identifying two MoAb for the detection of ZAP-70: the anti-ZAP70 Alexa Fluor 488, Caltag Laboratories and anti-ZAP70 FITC, Upstate Cell Signaling Solution.
The analysis of LAIR-1 showed that it was reduced in CLL patients (41% ± 32) with respect to in healthy subjects (84% ± 1) and, in particular high-risk patients (stage 3 and 4) had less protein expression than lower-risk group (stage 0-2).
Our data confirmed the prognostic role of SHM in CLL: the median survival times for mutated and unmutated patients were 260 and 99 months, respectively (p<0,001). The evaluation of the VH repertoire highlighted a prevalent expression of the gene families VH3 (58% of the patients), VH1 (18% of the sample) and VH4 (18%). The expression of VH1 genes was associated with an unmutated IgVH status (58% of CLL patients); the expression of VH4 family was associated to a mutated status (SHM≥2%) and to a median global survival of 220 months, significantly higher when compared to the average of the whole sample (p<0,001).
We also demostrated a prognostic role for CD38 and ZAP-70 expression: the median overall survival for CD38 negative and positive patients was 123 and 250 months, respectively (p<0,01); the median survival for the ZAP-70 positive and negative patients was 135 and 220 months (p<0,01).
We analyzed the correlations between these prognostic factors. Statistical analysis showed a significant correlation between CD38 expression and the unmutated IgVH status (p<0,01) and between ZAP-70 expression and the absence of hypersomatic mutation (p<0,05). LAIR-1 was less expressed in both SHM negative patients and in CD38 positive patients.
Our data confirm the utility of new prognostic factors as far as they may predict the clinical evolution of the disease. However, the mutational status of variable heavy chain Ig genes at present represents the most reliable and mandatory prognostic factor. ZAP-70 evaluation by flow cytometry tecnology is promising but every laboratory should standardize appropriate methods according to the instruments and reagents available in their setting.La leucemia linfatica cronica di tipo B (LLC-B) è la forma più comune di leucemia dell'adulto ed è caratterizzata dall’accumulo nel sangue periferico, nel midollo osseo e negli organi linfatici di piccoli linfociti B monoclonali esprimenti il marcatore CD5. È una patologia eterogenea, la cui evoluzione varia da un decorso clinico indolente, che non necessita di alcuna terapia, ad una rapida progressione che richiede un trattamento. L’identificazione di fattori che permettano di stratificare pazienti a prognosi differente fin dalle fasi iniziali della malattia è uno dei principali obiettivi degli studi riguardanti la LLC-B. Negli anni sono stati definiti fattori di prognosi classici (il tempo di raddoppiamento linfocitario, l’infiltrazione del midollo osseo, la percentuale di prolinfociti, i livelli di β2 microglobulina, di timidina chinasi e di CD23 solubile), e, più recentemente, fattori prognostici correlati a caratteristiche molecolari del clone leucemico, tra i quali la presenza di alterazioni citogenetiche, lo stato mutazionale dei geni della catena pesante delle immunoglobuline (SHM), l’espressione dell’enzima telomerasi e di molecole quali CD38 e ZAP-70. Un possibile fattore prognostico, ancora in fase di valutazione, è infine il leucocyte-associated Ig-like receptor-1 (LAIR-1 o CD305), un recettore inibitorio, espresso sulla superficie delle cellule B, che può indurre la defosforilazione di diverse chinasi. Il progetto di ricerca sviluppato nei tre anni di dottorato mirava a definire il valore di alcuni fattori prognostici di recente definizione (CD38, CD305, ZAP-70 e SHM) e le possibili correlazioni esistenti tra essi. In particolare, poiché le modalità di determinazione dell’espressione della chinasi ZAP-70 sono oggetto di discussione a livello internazionale, una parte rilevante del triennio di questo dottorato di ricerca è stata dedicata alla valutazione ed alla comparazione di diversi metodi sperimentali, al fine di identificare un procedimento affidabile e ripetibile per la quantificazione di questa proteina. L’individuazione di un metodo affidabile e riproducibile per l’analisi di ZAP-70 mediante analisi citofluorimetrica ha portato alla scelta del metodo raziometrico, che valuta l’intensità media di fluorescenza di ZAP-70 nei linfociti B patologici in rapporto all’intensità media di fluorescenza della proteina nei linfociti T. Il metodo si è rivelato infatti più indipendente dall’operatore rispetto alle altre metodiche analizzate. Una volta stabilito il metodo più appropriato, abbiamo adeguato la metodica alla strumentazione del nostro laboratorio di Ematologia e Immunologia Clinica. Abbiamo quindi stabilito il valore soglia che meglio distingueva tra pazienti positivi e negativi e che ci permetteva di ottenere le maggiori specificità e sensibilità e abbiamo infine confrontato i dati ottenuti dall’utilizzo di diversi anticorpi monoclonali in grado di riconoscere la proteina ZAP-70 dimostrando che i due anticorpi che davano risultati maggiormente riproducibili e più simili tra loro erano l’anticorpo anti-ZAP70 Alexa Fluor 488, Caltag Laboratories e l’anticorpo anti-ZAP70 FITC, Upstate cell signaling solution. Per quanto riguarda gli altri fattori prognostici esaminati, abbiamo innanzitutto confermano il ruolo prognostico delle SHM nei 247 pazienti da noi analizzati e afferenti all’Unità operativa di Ematologia e Immunologia Clinica. Infatti il valore medio di sopravvivenza globale per i pazienti con SHM≥2% rispetto alle sequenze germline è risultato pari a 260 mesi e 99 mesi rispettivamente (p<0,001). La valutazione del repertorio VH ha evidenziato una prevalente espressione della famiglia VH3 (58% del campione). Le altre famiglie VH più rappresentate erano la famiglia VH1 (18% del campione) e VH4 (18%). L’espressione della famiglia VH1, era associata ad un’elevata probabilità di avere uno stato mutazionale <2% delle IgVH (58%). L’espressione della famiglia VH4, invece, si associa ad uno stato mutato (≥2%) delle IgVH (67%) e ad una sopravvivenza globale media di 220 mesi, significativamente superiore rispetto alla media dell’intero campione (p<0,001). Anche CD38 e ZAP-70 hanno dimostrato un ruolo prognostico importante: la sopravvivenza globale media per i pazienti CD38 positivi e negativi era pari rispettivamente a 123 mesi e 250 mesi (p=0,002); la sopravvivenza globale media per i pazienti ZAP-70 positivi e negativi era pari a 135 e 220 mesi (p=0,009). Lo studio dell’espressione di LAIR-1 ha dimostrato che questo recettore è espresso mediamente in quantità minore (41%±32) rispetto ai soggetti sani (84%±1), ed in particolare i pazienti ad alto rischio (stadio 3 e 4) avevano un’espressione minore della proteina rispetto al gruppo a minor rischio (stadio 0-2). Abbiamo valutato l’esistenza di correlazioni tra i diversi fattori prognostici. Abbiamo così rilevato una correlazione statisticamente significativa tra l’espressione di CD38 e l’assenza di ipermutazioni somatiche (p<0,01). Analogamente, abbiamo osservato una correlazione tra la positività di espressione di ZAP-70 e la mancanza di SHM (p<0,05). Per quanto riguarda LAIR-1, il recettore risulta espresso in quantità minore sia nei pazienti con SHM<2% sia in quelli CD38 positivi, mentre non è emersa alcuna differenza quando si sono considerati i pazienti per l’espressione di ZAP-70. I risultati ottenuti confermano l’efficacia dei fattori prognostici innovativi nel predire fin dal momento della diagnosi il possibile decorso clinico della malattia. Lo stato mutazionale rimane il fattore prognostico di riferimento e attualmente non sostituibile. Per quanto riguarda la proteina ZAP-70, promettente per la praticità e la rapidità della metodica impiegata per la sua valutazione, va sottolineato che ogni laboratorio deve standardizzare la metodica adeguandola agli strumenti ed ai reagenti in dotazione.

Full textAbstract:
Sleep-related Hypermotor Epilepsy (SHE) is a genetically heterogeneous epilepsy syndrome. Differences in epilepsy phenotype/endophenotype were associated with mutations in specific genes. However, the genes identified so far cumulatively account for 25% of cases. Moreover, systematic neuropsychological investigations on comprehensive SHE cohorts are lacking.
This study provides an accurate clinical, genetic and neuropsychological characterization of a large cohort of patients diagnosed with SHE according to reliable diagnostic criteria. A subgroup underwent a preliminary screening, partly performed by dHPLC to exclude mutations in CHRNA4, CHRNB2, CHRNA2.
Using a number of genetic strategies, we identified causative mutations in 10.4% of our cases. The mutation frequencies were 2.3% for KCNT1 (CI: 0.3-8.1%), 5.9% for GATOR1-complex genes (CI: 2.0-13.3%), 3.1% for CHRNA4 (CI: 0.6-8.8%) and 1.7% for SCN1A (CI 0-8.9%).
WES analysis allowed the identification of a novel epilepsy gene, NPRL2, coding a component of GATOR1, a negative regulator of mTOR pathway. Altogether, mutations in the GATOR1 complex genes DEPDC5 and NPRL2 account for the majority of our cases (6%). Genotype-phenotype correlations confirmed their association with focal cortical dysplasia, higher rates of drug-resistance, aura and seizures in wakefulness, with relevant implications in diagnostic and treatment strategies.
Moreover, we confirm that mutations in KCNT1 are implicated in severe forms with intellectual disability and psychiatric disorders.
The unexpected detection of CHRNA4 mutations highlighted the low sensitivity of dHPLC assay.
The systematic neuropsychological study showed that neurocognitive deficits are not uncommon in SHE. Mutated patients scored significantly lower at WAIS, supporting a crucial role of genetics in cognitive deficit by different biological mechanisms and molecular pathways. About 47% of patients of normal intelligence showed some degree of cognitive dysfunction. The profile of neuropsychological impairment was characterized by significant worse scores in verbal IQ, deficits in memory and in selected executive functions, with preserved shifting abilities and cognitive flexibility.

Full textAbstract:
L’objectif de cette thèse est de réaliser un système de Contrôle Santé Intégré des structures aéronautiques (CSI ou SHM) autonome et à double-fonctionnalité. Ce système doit être en mesure d’assurer son autonomie énergétique tout en réalisant les tâches de détection et de localisation des endommagements. Latechnique retenue pour alimenter ce système est basée sur la récupération d’énergie vibratoire par transducteurs piézoélectriques SHM collés. Durant ces travaux, un modèle analytique complet de la chaîne de récupération d’énergie vibratoire a d’abord été créé. Ce modèle, validé par la Méthode des ÉlémentsFinis (MEF), permet d’améliorer le rendement du système en déterminant les dimensions, les locali-sations et le type de matériau piézoélectrique idéals des transducteurs. Ce modèle a ensuite été étendu à une configuration plus représentative des conditions de vibrations d’une structure en vol. Une bonne corrélation entre les résultats provenant du modèle prédictif et les essais sur un banc de mesures a étémise en évidence. Une puissance de 1.67mW a été récupérée et la capacité large bande des transducteurs a été vérifiée. L’application de la récupération d’énergie au contrôle de structures composites en cours d’assemblage sur les lignes de production a également été étudiée.

This system has to be fully autonomous and has to be able to carry out SHM tasks such as damage detection and location. The energetic autonomy of the system is provided by a vibrational energy harvesting technology using bonded SHM piezoelectric transducers. In this document,an analytical model of the energy harvesting process has been proposed. This model, validated by the Finite Element Method (FEM), allows the optimization of the energy harvesting system by determining the ideal type of transducers as well as their optimal dimensions and locations. Then, this model has been applied to a configuration aiming to be more representative of the in-flight vibrations experienced by a structure. Good agreement has been found between the analytical simulation and the experimental measurements. A power of 1.67mW has been harvested and the wideband capability of the transducers has been verified. Afterwards, the possibility of using the vibrational energy harvesting technology to control composite structures on assembly line has been investigated. For this case study, a transducer strategically located nearby an available power supply generates Lamb waves throughout the structure to tackle the absence of natural vibration. The remaining sensors, spread all over the structure, convertthe mechanical vibrations into electrical power. Using this technology, a power of 7.36mW has been harvested. Finally, this SHM system has also been able to detect a tool drop on the composite structure and to light simultaneously and autonomously a light-emitting diode (LED) simulating the consumption required to transmit the information wirelessly

Filmes ultrafinos de polímeros que contém azocromóforos são importantes para muitas aplicações como armazenamento óptico, formação de grades de relevo superficiais, alinhamento de camadas de cristal líquido e dispositivos ópticos com propriedades não-lineares. Dentre as muitas técnicas de fabricação de filmes orgânicos ultrafinos, a técnica de Automontagem eletrostática camada a camada (Layer-by-Layer, LBL) é muito atrativa devido a sua simplicidade e versatilidade, permitindo o controle na espessura e na composição dos filmes em escalas nanométricas. Contudo, a completa caracterização estrutural de tais filmes enfrenta dificuldades devido à falta de técnicas experimentais apropriadas. Utilizamos a Geração de Segundo Harmônico (SHG) para estudar a orientação molecular de filmes automontados de um polieletrólito catiônico (PAH - Poli(alilamina hidroclorada)) e um polieletrólito aniônico contendo azocromóforos como grupos laterais (Ma-co-DR13) sobre substrato de vidro. O sinal de SHG é proporcional à susceptibilidade não-linear de segunda ordem do filme, que por sua vez depende da distribuição orientacional dos azocromóforos nesse filme. Os resultados indicam que existem uma orientação preferencial dos azocromóforos, que leva a uma não-linearidade óptica significativa. Entretanto, a intensidade do sinal e a anisotropia não são homogêneas por toda a amostra, indicando a presença de domínios orientacionais, que é verificado por meio da Microscopia a Ângulo de Brewster (BAM). O sinal médio de SHG não aumenta com a espessura do filme, indicando que a ordem orientacional das sucessivas bicamadas são independentes. Analisando o sinal de SHG em função das polarizações de saída e entrada, alguns parâmetros da distribuição orientacional dos azocromóforos podem ser deduzidos. Ajustando as medidas de SHG a uma distribuição modelo concluímos que os cromóforos possuem uma certa distribuição angular com um ângulo médio em relação à superfície do plano de aproximadamente 40° e uma pequena anisotropia ao longo do plano do filme. Utilizamos também o Método da Máxima Entropia (MEM) para determinar a distribuição mais larga possível compatível com nossos dados experimentais e comparar então com a distribuição modelo obtida através dos procedimentos de ajuste.Ultrathin films of polymers containing azochromophores are important for many applications such as optical data storage, formation of surface relief gratings, liquid crystal alignment layers and non-linear optical devices. Among several techniques for fabricating organic thin films, the Layer-By-Layer electrostatic self-assembly (LBL) is very attractive due to its simplicity and versatility, allowing one to control film thickness and composition in the nanometer scale. However, thorough structural characterization of such films is often difficult due to lack of appropriate experimental techniques. We have used optical second-harmonic generation (SHG) to study the molecular orientation of Layer-by-Layer films of a cationic polyelectrolyte ((PAH - Poly(allylamine hydrochloride)) and a anionic polyelectrolyte containing azochromophores with azo side groups (PAH/Ma-co-DR13) on a glass substrate. The SHG signal is proportional to the second-order nonlinear susceptibility of the film, which in turn depends on the orientational distribution of the azo chromophores in the film. The results indicate that there is a preferential orientation of the azo chromophores in the film, leading to a significant optical nonlinearity. However, both the signal strength and its anisotropy are not homogeneous throughout the sample, indicating the presence of orientational domains. This is verified through Brewster Angle Microscopy (BAM). The average SHG signal does not increase with film thickness, indicating that the orientational order of successive bilayers are independent. Analyzing the SHG signal as a function of the input and output polarizations, a few parameters of the azochromophore orientational distribution can be deduced. Fitting the SHG signal to a simple model distribution, we have concluded that the chromophores have an angular distribution with a mean tilt from the surface plane of approximately 41° and a slight in-plane anisotropy. We have also used the Maximum-Entropy Method (MEM) to determine the widest orientational distribution compatible with our data and compared it to the model distribution obtained by the fitting procedure.

Full textAbstract:
Bio-refining of renewable resources such as waste biomass into value added products has increased rapidly over the last decades. The aim is to find new environmentally friendly yet economically feasible ways of replacing current utilization of non renewable resources. It can be expected that a commercially viable next generation bio-ethanol will be produced from lignocellulosic feedstock in the near future.This master thesis set out to look at a specific Canadian company in depth (Pure Lignin Environmental Technology Ltd), known as PLET henceforth. PLET has a new approach in pre-treatment of biomass, with a recently patented environmentally friendly technology, which could be extremely lucrative if applied in the right context. It is desirable to look at the possibility of using the master thesis as a take-off platform to launch a consulting bio-tech company directly after completion.There are several different ways to process biomass into higher value added products. In this master thesis focus is laid upon biomass waste, but the same principles could be applied on biomass processing in general. That is the separation and purification of products. In order to put the technology of PLET into a context, other company approaches are used as a comparison, such as SEKAB E-Technology, Lignoboost and Borregaard Lignotech.It is however hard to find suitable examples equivalent to the PLET approach since the technology of PLET considers all the three constituents of wood as raw material for production of three stand alone commercial products; pure lignin, pure cellulose and hemi-cellulose. These three products are separated and purified in the pre-treatment process at high yield and practically no formation of by-products. Process parameters are only moderately adjusted depending on what raw material is used.The catalytic reactor process (=CRP), is performed by PLET as a pre-treatment in a continuous and batch system, in which lignocellulosic material (= wood chips, saw dust or other waste biomass) undergo acid catalyzed hydrolysis by dilute nitric acid. The impregnated wood chips are partially depolymerised from the lignin matrix when heated in the low pressure catalytic reactor. After that, follows distillation, condensation and almost complete recovery of dilute nitric acid. After CRP, the cellulose pulp is separated from the black liquor by an alkaline solution (=NaOH). The obtained black liquor is pumped to a separation tank to precipitate lignin and sweet liquor through filtration. The final step is to dry the lignin, while the sweet liquor is utilized by Torula yeast (=Candida utilis) in order to produce unicellular protein.It would be interesting to see if the pre-treatment that PLET provides, could be exploited in a context of production of next generation of cellulosic ethanol from the cellulosic part of waste biomass. In this master thesis, an evaluation of producing next generation ethanol from dilute-nitric acid pre-treated cellulose rich softwood was performed and dilute sulphuric acid pre-treated hemi-cellulose rich hardwood birch pulp was used as a comparison.The technical part of this master thesis was conducted on a laboratory scale, using samples from two companies, referred to as PLET and SEKAB E-technology (Sweden). The strategy of PLET is currently to find a commercial platform to produce value added products from waste biomass generated by saw mills and pulping industries, while SEKAB E-Technology mainly works with Swedish softwood as a raw material.ivExperiments of this master thesis includes a series of fermentation trials using either SSF (= Simultaneous Saccharification and Fermentation) or SHF (= Separate Hydrolysis and Fermentation). Yields of the enzymatic hydrolysis and subsequent fermentations were estimated with HPLC measurements complemented with dry weight measurements.Obtained experimental data support the potential to make lignocellulosic ethanol out of either softwood or hardwood. Ethanol yield from dry material from SEKAB E-Technology hardwood birch slurry was 0.43 (g ethanol / g dry raw material), whereas samples supplied by PLET achieved the following results. The ethanol yield from dry material from softwood pine washed cellulose was 0.33 g (ethanol / g cellulose). The ethanol yield from dry material obtained for softwood pine unwashed cellulose in the three SHF was 0.47; 0.34 and 0.19 (g ethanol / g cellulose) respectively, while the yield in the two SSF was 0.45 and 0.46 (g ethanol / g glucose).The economical part of this master thesis includes the use of Business Model Canvas and the NABC- model (= Need, Approach, Benefit and Competition) to define the basic topics and tasks that need to be addressed in the start up phase of a small consulting bio-tech company.At least 6 million US dollars is needed as a minimum starting capital to be able to construct a small commercially viable pilot plant, according to PLET. This investment would cover the basic requirements and is scalable. The construction could preferably be done in Sweden in the vicinity of an existing saw mill or paper pulp industry or elsewhere, where a steady supply of cheap raw material could be assured. The size of the operation envisioned, depends greatly on location and adjacent businesses. Large pulp mills in the range of 400-500 MWh would be preferred, the largest pulp mills in Canada process 5000 ton per day which is equivalent to a capacity of 1 GW wood per day (GW = giga watt), but the concept of the technology of PLET must first prove its value on a smaller scale.According to PLET, a future full scale production plant could be designed for processing 56 tons of wood chips per day of wood chips would generate annual revenues of ≈ 7500000 US dollars. The annual profit would be ≈ 2500000 US dollars, and capital cost (equipments) ≈ 5000000 US dollars, while the payback time on investment would be 2-3 years. According to PLET, the products are estimated to have the following values; 25 tons/day of pure cellulose with a market value of 400-500 US dollars/ton, 10 tons/day of pure lignin with a market value of 1000-1200 US dollars/ton and finally 21 tons/day of sweet liquor with a market value of 50-100 US dollars/ton.Program: Masterutbildning i Energi- och materialåtervinning - industriell bioteknik

Full textAbstract:
This study is about the artist Monica Sjoo’s (1938-2005) painting God giving birth (1968) that was accused of being blasphemous and obscene in the early 1970s. God giving birth could have had much in common with Niki de Saint-Phalle’s She – a cathedral (1966), both works suggesting a mother goddess image. The main difference however can be found in the fact that Monica Sjoo’s painting had connection to the women’s movement in the 1970s. Monica Sjoo’s artwork responded to other feminist artwork of that period. Among several feminist artists during the period about 1968-1985, an iconography was in use that focused on vulvar imagery, experience of childbirth and goddess images. In particulary the mother goddess was embraced. The female body in art was re-sacred and invested with meaning connected with women’s cycles of birth-death and rebirth and the earth as a mother goddess.

Abstract Li Mei-Shu ( 1902-1983 ), one of the celebrated painter in Taiwan, who took charge of a 36 yearlong rebuilt plan of Sanhsia’s Zu-shi Temple in his prime of life. Although decorative works in Zu-shi Temple were made by many great craftsmen and students of the National Taiwan Academy of Arts, but the aesthetic ideas and content in these works were led by Li’s domination profoundly. Even we can say that Li’s personal background and will are the spring of the Zu-shi Temple. Therefore, the more to discuss these works of the Academy style that Li had deeply participate, the more the meanings and the concepts of Li’s domination appear gradually, and become the core sprit of the rebuilt plan. About these works of the Academy style in the Front Hall, Main Hall, East and West Side Halls of Zu-shi Temple, this essay is divided into three groups: the carvings based on the paintings of some famous artists of the time, the relief and sculptures were made by Li’s students. Though the formal analyses and the searches for the background of creation and influences, this study will try to provide several explains to reconstruct the motives, aesthetic concepts and some effects caused by social conditions ( including education, politics, religious culture etc.) at that time behind these works. So that we can realize the possible intentions of Li‘s plan, and as above illustrations, to see the meanings of Li’s domination more clearly. To sum up with, this essay talks of the meanings from three dimensions: first, as an artist, rarely and deeply, Li participated in the creation of folk, religious arts, and operated the construct of local temples with the art concepts of academy . Secondly, to the developing sculpture education of academy colleges in Taiwan, Li was a pioneer to make changes in the course that lay particular stress on Western Sculpture trainings, and to cultivate a batch of young students to create folk arts. And it also excited the transformations of folk carvings and sculptures. Finally, from the angle of religious arts, under Li’s charge, the Zu-shi Temple shows several unique materials, making, and motives that are wildly different from other temples. And thus reflects the complicate comprehensibility and vagueness of religion or belief in Taiwan exactly.

Research of Shi Men Reservoir Church Abstract In the year 1966 in Taoyuan, Shih Men Reservoir church was established and located near the Northern Region Water Resources Office of Water Resources Agency and Ministry of Economic Affairs. Under founder Zhang Zhixin and Zhang Xu Kelan’s selfless dedication and leadership, the church has grown from family gatherings an estate of more than seven hundred level ground towering church that can accommodate 300 people. The purpose of this study is that through field investigation and the elderly oral and historical data collection, this research is to explore the building history of the Shih Men Reservoir Church embryonic church, and to explore the organization and activities of the church in order to understand how a local church rooted in the local development. Christianity and belief in Taiwan has many difference depending on local geography and has many difficulties when preaching. With the growing problem of Taiwan''s low birth rate, aging seniors, and the village around Shih Men Reservoir migration of young adults to bigger cities, Shi Men Reservoir church has face many challenges in transforming. After the new church was built, the Church of Shih Men Reservoir established Christian Ministry Training Center, and participates in Global Leadership Network. It is a positive sense that we make every effort in development of the church in order for future transition.

The yellow sand（YS）phenomenon is a dust storm which occurs in East Asia. The spring dust storms have significant influence on the regional energy balance and climate change, visibility reduction, health effects on humans, and on terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems (Chung et al., 1996). During the YS is transported to Taiwan, which has significant influence on the aggravation of air quality, visibility reduction, health effects on humans, ecosystems impairments, and climate change. In this study, we cooperate with Asian Pacific Regional Aerosol Characterization to monitor the YS. Atmospheric aerosols were collected in Shi-men town, Taipei County from January to April. Aerosol mass concentration, water-soluble ions, aerosol elements, and carbonaceous contents are analyzed. From the bulk analysis, we can discriminate the chemical characterization of the YS from the normal dates.

ABSTRACT This paper make use of Shi-Men reservoir bottom mud to carry out flocculated framework phase batch experiment in static water‚ discuss every depth layer concentraction change with time and it’s interface settling velocity‚ and realize settling characteristic of Shi-Men reservoir mud. By the results and analyses of this paper‚ when initial concentraction is about 70(g/L)‚ it can produce clear and visible interface‚ and observing interface down also know settling velocity. When constant concertraction region disappears, interface velocity would be suddenly down. As concentraction between 70〜110(g/L), settling velocity decreases with time increases; concentraction between 110〜150(g/L), settling velocity of water depth 50(cm) is greater than settling velocity of water depth 200(cm). This paper also use Ratio Concentraction Method to estimate compression region concentraction. key words：settling velocity、floccuated framework

Shi-Men Reservoir was located in the Tauyuan, the branch of Da-han River. Its drainage area is 763.4 square kilometer, and its effective capacity is 233,800,000 cubic meters. Compared with the changing trend of 2002 ,2003 and 2004 by the sampling of water quality. NPSM, one of BASINS model developed by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA), is adopted in the study to simulate the transferred quantity of the river and non-point source of the drainage area. The discharge was calibrated with the data in 2002, and verified with the data in 2002 and 2003, for confirming the model can be used in this study. The result shows that NPSM can efficiently simulate the change of the chronic water quality in drainage area. Annual non-point loading of total nitrogen was about 891,915kg/yr, total phosphorus was about 37,007kg/yr. The total nitrogen per hectare was about 11.81kg/ha/yr, and the total phosphorus per hectare was about 0.485 kg/ha/yr.

This thesis is focused on living world in urban environment to discuss the relationship between the changing urban spaces and users.The goal is to explore how people face, construct and maintain their ways of living as well as consuming habits in urban environment when modernity and technical bureaucratic planning intrude the urban life. The space should not be merely a static reflection of a social structure in a specific era. The social structure provides only a framework, the true meanings of the spaces are driven by un-measurable dynamic human individuals. In the visible spaces, the elements not merely related to the sense of sight such as emotion, habit and memory are the true elements to define the human-spatial relationships. This thesis is aimed to discover these relations and to search for the meanings of spaces without using a formal approach. The study area is Shi-Men-Ting area in Taipei. The focuses are: 1. The role of Shi-Min-Ting in the urban life. This role was to be testified when the spatial policies undergone frequent changes and when modernity imposed its impacts. 2. To discuss the living style in Shi-Min-Ting area, how people experience the environment, and how different social groups do so to embody different meanings of the spaces. In terms of study methods, this thesis analyzed the everydayness and human geography to explore peoples’ usage of urban spaces in different historic stages, and to explore how Shi-Men-Ting became the living arena of different social groups under the mainstream dominance. As to writing method, the author tried to create a fusion between conventional thesis writing and prose to stir the imaginative power of written language. The author also utilized multiple roles in writing to achieve a richer context that closer to the real life.

There are many kinds of Non-Newtonian fluids, such as the fluids of soil-water mixture, suspended liquid of mixture, slurry etc. The flowing behaviors of these fluids are very complicated, because they do not belong to the categories of the Newtonian fluids. So one needs to make use of experiments to find out their rheological relations and rheological parameters, therefore ,their flowing behaviors of Non-Newtonian fluids can be derived and be used as the references for studies, developments and applications. Yang(2003) investigated the sludge of Shi-Men reservoir and determined the rheological parameters m, n with Power law model in his experiments of different concentration. This study determined sludge actual major loss by using his rheological parameters m, n in the experiment of different concentration , and formula for the major loss. The actual minor losses were calculated by using the minor loss coefficient from the results of Lu’s(2004) experiment. Finally, the study determined the efficiency of pumps for the concentration of site. The study found the efficiency of pumps in the site is about 30 %.

"HIV transmission pattern among men who have sex with men in Shenzhen." Thesis, 2010. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6075065.
Full textAbstract:
Background A dramatic increasing trend of HIV prevalence among men who have sex with men (MSM) was observed in China from 2000. Most previous investigations were based on convenience sampling and none of them differentiated money boys (MB) from other MSMs. The objectives of this study was to determine the prevalence of HIV infection and its risk factors among MSMs in Shenzhen, China, using approximate probability sampling methods; and to interpret HIV transmission pattern among MSMs with both phylogenetical and epidemiological information.Conclusions The prevalence of MV infection in Shenzhen MSMs was similar to the national rate in MSMs. HIV infection and related characteristics in Mf3s and other MSMs were different, indicating that a separate analysis was necessary. TLS could provide information on venue comparisons for venue-based MSMs and RDS could recruit more hidden subjects. Results from this study suggest that venue-specific intervention approaches should be developed and provided to different venues.
Results HIV prevalence was 5.5% among MSMs in Shenzhen. A significantly lower HIV infection was observed in MBs (4.5%) compared with other MSMs (7.0%). The HIV infection rate among MSMs was 5.7% by TLS and 4.6% by RDS, which were not significantly different. Factors related to HIV infection in MSMs included syphilis infection, occupation, sexual orientation, venue for recruitment and hometown HIV prevalence. HIV rate and social-behavioral characteristics were found to vary with venues, with significantly higher rates in family clubs, parks and saunas, than entertainment venue. Molecular phylogenetical analysis showed that genetic clusters were related to receptive anal intercourse, short stay in Shenzhen, early age of first sex, and high hometown HIV prevalence. Venue-specific transmission chains were observed in 60% of the subjects.
Subjects and Methods A total of 2143 MSMs were recruited in Shenzhen from 2008 to 2009, including 1651 persons from time-location sampling (TLS) and 492 from respondent-driven sampling (RDS). A separate recruitment of MBs and other MSMs was applied in TLS surveys and a mixed sample of MSMs was applied in RDS. All subjects were interviewed and had blood tests for HIV and syphilis. HIV positive samples were further used for phylogenetic analysis.

In recent years, materials for construction back-fill are in great shortage. In the meantime, many reservoirs are facing serious silting problems that constant dredging is required. Soils dredged from the reservoirs requires proper treatment and its possible use as back-fill in road embankment deserves a study. This study uses soil samples taken from Shi-Moon reservoir for laboratory tests. The soil was classified as CL based on the USCS classification system. Dynamic properties, in terms of shear modulus, damping ratio, and strain rate, of compacted soil and soil-cement were investigated by conducting dynamic triaxial tests. Portland cement (type1) of 0, 3, 6, 12, and 18% were mixed with the soil to prepare cylindrical specimens of 14.1 cm in height and 7.1 cm in diameter. The specimens were cured for 7, 28, 70, and 120 days. Sine type of repeated loads were applied to the specimens under confining pressures of 50 and 100 kPa. Results of this study show that shear modulus increase with both cement content and curing time, and values of shear modulus of 150-190 kPa are observed for cement contents of 6, 12, and 18% and curing time of 120 days. Furthermore, damping ratios decrease with both cement content and curing time, with values falling in between 5 -7%. In addition, strain rates decreases with both cement content and curing time, with values falling in between 4-18×10-5(1/sec).

There are three stages included in this research. The first stage involves using the BSAINS model developed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US-EPA) to simulate and analyze water physical properties and flow based on non-point source pollution in the upstream watershed of the Shi-men Reservoir. It is designed to study the influence of non-point source pollution on the Shi-men Reservoir. The constituents considered in the simulation included suspended solids、Total Phosphorus、Ammonia Nitrogen、Biochemical Oxygen Demand, etc.. The second stage is to introduce the result obtained from the first stage into the water quality model (WASP), which is further used to simulate the changing and descending process of pollutants in the watershed of the Reservoir before their entering the Reservoir. The third stage is devoted to integrating the whole data for modeling to calculate the carrying capacity of the Reservoir area. In a preliminary study, the inflow of the Shi-men Reservoir during the period of 2000 to 2006 were used for calibration and compared with the inflow in 2007. If the calibration is verified, then the data in 2007 can be used to simulate the pollution and introduced into the later stage of WASP for calculation. While the simulation revealed that the flow rating was generally well, poor results were obtained due to change in land uses after the attack of typhoon Ai-Li in 2004, which led to widespread landslide around the Shi-men Reservoir area. Accordingly, a modification was made for calibration by using the inflow during 2005 and 2006, compared with the inflow in 2007. The simulation result was good. A further introduction of the result into the WASP for modeling pollution reducing process also showed good result. The current prediction of the total load of Phosphorus in Xiu-Luan is 3951.9 kg/yr, and that in Xia-Yun is 30485.91 kg/yr. If the water carrying capacity of B-type water is taken as a benchmark, then a 16% reduction in pollution in the watershed of Shi-men Reservoir is suggested. However, a 40% reduction in pollution is suggested to meet the criterion of A-type water.

"HIV related sexual risk behaviors among men who have sex with men in China: a cohort and randomized controlled study." Thesis, 2011. http://library.cuhk.edu.hk/record=b6075151.
Full textAbstract:
Discussion. The epidemic of HIV/STD among MSM is severe, and the prevalence of risk sexual behaviors was at a high level among MSM in China. The risk factors for HIV/STD and factors associated with DAI reported in this study give some insights towards designing relevant prevention programs. The simplicity and feasibility of our effective intervention, enhanced VCT, makes it possible for this to be incorporated into standard VCT procedures. Further translational research is needed to investigate its effectiveness in the real-world setting.Introduction. Men who have sex with men (MSM) have become the main group for HIV transmission in China in 2009. There have been many epidemiological cross-sectional studies targeting MSM in China in recent years. These provide limited data compared with cohort studies, which can describe the rate at which HIV/STD are spreading in a target population. Moreover, there is a dearth of intervention studies which are theory-based with rigorous research methodology in China. Last but not least, research is needed on sexual behaviors and their determinants, including cognitions from health behavioral theories, event-specific factors, etc.
Objectives. This study investigated the prevalence and incidence of HIV/STD, as well as their associated risk factors among MSM in Nanjing, China. It also explored the prevalence of unprotected anal sex (UAI) and the associated factors, including cognitions from health behavioral theories and event-specific factors. In addition, this is also one of the first studies to examine the efficacy of a randomized control trial (RCT) designed intervention, to use enhanced voluntary counseling and testing (VCT) to reduce UAI among MSM in China.
Results. The RDS-adjusted HIV, syphilis and HCV prevalence were respectively 7.3%, 14.4% and 0.2% at baseline. Of the 397 MSM who were found to be HIV seronegative at baseline, 286 (72.0%) retested at Month 6. HIV, syphilis and HCV incidence were respectively 5.12, 7.58 and 0 per 100 person-years (PY). Recruiting male sex partners mostly at saunas was the risk factor associated with being HIV seropositive at baseline (OR=3.84) and undergoing HIV/syphilis seroconversion at Month 6 (RR=2.351RR=6.72). In the RCT study, participants in the Intervention Group reported significantly less risk than those in the Control Group (UAI with any male sex partners: 48.4% vs. 66.7%;UAI with regular male sex partners: 52.2% vs. 68.9%) at Month 6. Furthermore, Perceived Behavior Control showed a significant association with DAI with both regular (AOR=0.42) and casual partners (AOR=O.73).
Subjects and Methods. A cohort study and randomized control trial were conducted. Out of 416 MSM approached by respondent driven sampling (RDS), 397 HIV negative participants were recruited to the HIV/syphilis/HCV cohort, and they were invited to return for a follow-up visit at Month 6. A subsample from the baseline cohort consisting of 307 MSM, was randomly assigned to either the Intervention Group (enhanced VCT) or the Control Group (standard VCT). Evaluation was conducted at Month 6. Both baseline and Month 6 visits consisted of VCT service and interviewing. Statistical methods such as Chi-square test, logistic regression and Poisson regression were used in this study.

The highway 3 and the high-speed railway include portions of earth embankment. In recent years, materials for fills are in great shortage in Taiwan. On the other hand, most of the reservoirs suffer from serious silting problem and under constant dredging operation. It was found that most of the dredged soils are fine-grained so that a direct use for engineering purpose is limited. However, it may be possible to strengthen the dredged soils with cement so that both disposal of the dredged soils and creation of a new filling material are obtained. The purpose of this study is to investigate the influence of degree of saturation on shear modulus and damping ratio of cement improved dredged fine-grained soils. Soil samples were obtained a mud pond of the Shi-Moon reservoir. Compacted triaxial specimens were prepared at the optimum water contents. Portland cement was mixed with the soil sample at 0, 3%, 6%, and 12% of dry soil to prepare the specimens. The specimens were cured in containers filled with sand and water. Curing time of different specimens include 7, 28, 70, and 120 days. Cured specimens were tested using the CKC dynamic triaxial apparatus to measure soil response under upper-half sine type of loading. Results of the tests show that degree of saturation of the cement improved soils increases from about 80% to 90% during as long as 120 days of curing period. It seems that the degree of saturation can never reach 100%. On the other hand, degree of saturation of unimproved soils increases from about 80% to 100% rapidly. Shear modulus decreases and damping ratio increases with increasing in degree of saturation. Empirical equations are proposed for determination of shear modulus and damping ratio from information of degree of saturation.

Abstract With the properties of steep topography couples with slope land exploitation and unusual high rainfall events occurred, Shihmen reservoir watershed usually suffers problems of turbidity in water supply at the typhoon and/or storm seasons. To study factors which affect watershed landslide and put some countermeasures into practice can help this reservoir watershed for sediment control effectively. Three severe landslides at Shihmen reservoir watershed caused by typhoon Wayne, Huber and Elle in 1986, 1998 and 2005; respectively. GIS technology is applied to extract and analyze the relevant factors that affect watershed landslide. Watershed thematic maps such as: slope, aspect, altitude, geology, soil, road, river and land use are employed to establish the database of susceptibility factors, which most affect watershed landslide. In addition, watershed landslide susceptibility value of each factor is derived using instability index method. The deviation coefficient for the percentage of landslide is used to calculate the weight of each factor and to delineate the spatial distribution of landslide susceptibility areas at the Shihmen reservoir watershed. Environment factors only and man-made disturbance factors added are separately discussed in this study. The environment factors consideration shows that the watershed landslide susceptibility value is 3.21, 4.79 and 3.89 for the year of 1986, 1998 and 2005; respectively. If man-made disturbance factors added, the watershed landslide susceptibility value will drop to 2.97, 4.76 and 3.88 for the corresponding years. The man-made disturbance factors significantly lower the watershed landslide susceptibility value and increase areas of the watershed landslide susceptibility. By summarizing the weight of each factor, the main susceptibility factors that affect watershed landslide are soil and geology. In 1986 and 1988, it shows that the weight of soil factor is 0.2911 and 0.3050 respectively, which is higher compared to the other factors. While the weight of geology factor becomes the highest (0.3448) in 2004, the reason may conclude as the effects of the 921 earthquake which occurred in 1999. This shows that the 921 earthquake caused fragile geology, which results in higher weight of geology factor.

The attempt of this design essay originated in thoughts about the spacializing process which those theories and issues for criticizing space were been put into by some habitual rational design methods, as ways used to build a Utopia by attempting to insert a new space texture into a site, were not only fail to respond original issues but also cause new space problems. Besides this, with affections of those design methods, a usual practice of distinguishing some negative factors and ignoring them was existed. Therefore, simply with remindful or stimulating design methods, from neglected angles of negative factors, we try to use some experimental methods to show or enhance issues neglected at the first. The program strategy based on a festival frame which could reconfigure and redefine landscape to insert experimental designs; used one type of modern festivals - the film festival - to bring arousing effects and activations between movie text and designs in landscape to enhance each others. The program of theme used anti-utopia text types focusing on horror movies, and take advantage of the féminin propriety of horror text to insert critical issues of negative feels. The work made a respond to blind spots of rational-utopia design methods in habitual vocabularies. On the site strategy, we choose Shi-Men District where are known for its long history of movie theaters and complexity of landscape contexts.

Because of global warming and human over-development, now the gradually exhausted water resource in many region of the world is a serious problem we need to face. The simulated soil moisture and land surface temperature (LST) have being key points for studying and understanding this kind of problem. The first step of such a research, the global scale analysis (much larger spatial and temporal scale) is chosen as our study’s viewpoint, and we choose NOAH Land Surface Model (LSM) developed by NCEP to carry out five-year offline simulations subject to observed near-surface atmospheric forcing at Shih-Men reservoir watershed. Finally, we’ll investigate how climate change affects our water resource through discussing the variation of modeled LST and soil moisture. The atmosphere forcing data come from two sources: one is from local surface measurements like daily accumulative rainfall data measured by surface stations maintained by the Water Resources Agency; the other source is assimilated data produced by the GSFC GLDAS. Major variables in the GLDAS data set include near surface atmospheric parameters (air temperature, specific humidity, wind speed, and surface pressure), surface radiative fluxes (incident short-wave radiation, incident long-wave radiation) and surface rainfall rate. The GLDAS also provides land surface parameters. It includes land use type (vegetation type), soil type, land surface elevation, surface vegetation fraction, and albedo. We perform two numerical experiences, E1 and E2, in the selected region of Shih-Men reservoir watershed. The two experiments are subject to the same forcing data (2001-2005) and land surface parameters, except surface rainfall. E1 is forced by GSFC GLDAS rainfall data, and E2 is forced by station rainfall data. Results show that the simulated runoff by E2 is better than that of E1. At this stage, the evaluation of simulated LST in the current thesis is restricted by many factors, we can only investigate preliminary. We need to understand how important land surface parameters should be when simulate LST, however, since energy balance and water balance processes will be affected by land surface parameter in model calculation. For the next stage of the research, the spatial heterogeneous characteristic of land surface parameter should be considered to improve the evaluation approach. Besides, if more in situ and satellite observations data or high quality assimilation data are available, we can not only do more completed evaluation and refinement, but also apply it for regional climate modeling study.

The enormous Chi-Chi earthquake occurred in central Taiwan in 1999. The earthquake destruct geological formations in the upstream of the Shi-Men reservoir watershed. The heavy rain brought from typhoon Aili in August in 2004 and typhoon Masa in August in 2005 caused many landslides. The authorities have managed the landslides to recovery. The measure way including the construction for slope stabilization, vegetation engineering, slope drain, etc. Slope vegetation is conducive to the collapse of shallow landslide because the roots have functions in network soling and anchoring earth. We investigate the plants invaded and succession. We choose five of the most important dominant trees at landslide scars characteristics for its root strength to evaluate the model of slope stability. The regression analysis from the five plants shows the index correlation between peak pull-out force and basic diameter. We Integrated of all the regressions. The pulling resistance of Roxburgh sumac and Subcostate crape myrtle are stranger than others under fixed root diameter condition. We investigate the roots distribution to recover that Roxburgh sumac and Subcostate crape myrtle have a lot of root. The root is very deep and wide. So we can sure that Roxburgh sumac and Subcostate crape myrtle have larger effect on slope stability. In addition, we derived formula of root sheer stress. It shows that Taiwan hibiscus also have ability to stabilize earth because they have vertical roots deeply stretching into layer. In this study, as a result of the same basic diameter comparison, plant roots have some difference due to the actual age of the trees - drive-level curve, the growth of different soil characteristics and root extension. Sample size needs to be increased in experimental analysis, the actual collapse of the restoration and conservation of function with the slope remains to be further explored.

In Taiwan, frequent typhoon events result in flood related damages such as reservoir sedimentation, dam failure, and uncertain water supply. Therefore, this study develops a model to optimize the reservoir operation to control the flooding damage, increase the water supply, and improve the sediment sluicing efficiency. An optimal flood control model is developed using Genetic algorithms, a river simulation model, and an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model. This developed model has multiple objectives including flood control, water supply, and sediment sluicing. Shimen Reservoir is selected for this study. Three historical typhoon events are used: Typhoon Jangmi, Typhoon Fung-Wong, and Typhoon Sinlaku. The results show extraordinary operation efficiency improvement in terms of flooding control and sediment sluicing. This model increases the sluicing sediment efficiency for 36%, or 174,000 tons; 44%, or 118,000 tons; and 54%, or 96300 tons for Typhoon Jangmi, Typhoon Fung-Wong, and Typhoon Sinlaku respectively. These result shows that the developed model can be a very useful tool for optimal flood control operation for reservoirs.

Abstract The composition of zooplankton with temporal and spatial distribution in the Shi-Men Reservoir, northern Taiwan were examined based on the data of water quality monitoring from May 2006 to October 2009. There were 27 genus and 18 families and 8 orders found to comprise the three dominant groups of zooplankton Rotifer, Copepods and Cladocera. Among them, nauplius, Keratella cochlearis var. macrocantha, Macrocyclops albidus, Eodiaptomus japonicus and Polyarthra major consisting about 80% of the total number were the most abundant zooplankton. The composition of zooplankton varied seasonally with higher abundance in spring and autumn, and the lowest abundance in winter. In addition to seasonal variation, climatic warming and extreme rainfall also altered the distribution of zooplankton communities. Multivariate analyses based on cluster analysis and nonparametric multi-dimensional scaling identified three groups, which indicated that the abundance of each group was strongly controlled by seasonal and inter-annual variability. . The results of spearman correlation coefficient showed that zooplankton assemblages were significantly associated with environmental variables, which were strongly contributed by the stored water volume, temperature and precipitation. The analysis also suggested that moderate rainfall and temperature were helpful to the growth of zooplankton, but torrential rain and summer high temperature may caused negative effect in distribution and composition.

Sha-Mei Old Town is one of the old streets in East Kinmen, the first major streets recorded in Chien-lung period(About 1777), Ching Dynasty. Sha-Mei was known as Ba-Gua street, for its eight-lane roadways and gateways for preventing invasion from outsiders. The main type of traditional buildings are shophouses, mostly in the form of traditional buildings of South Fujian. The variety of ocal industries is another characteristic of Sha-Mei, such as sweet potato wine, blacksmith shop, noodle shops, bakeries,etc. These shophouses and historical contexts in Sha-Mei Old Town reflecting the culture of traditional industries, and also be considered an important cultural heritage. However in recent years, due to economic depression, many buildings destroyed. Historic features of Sha-Mei Old Town gradually fade away. Historic environment as an old town is a dynamic space with communities and industries. Town planning should be comprehensive integration. Therefore, The conservation of historic sites requires community consensus by local participation and conservation guidelines. This study is to discuss the important value of culture in Sha-Mei Old Town, by the research of trasition of its historic contexts, shophouses, and local industries.

Pedestrian movement has been analyzed by urban geographers and environmental psychologists from the mid-1960’. Particularly, spatial choice is an important part of the spatial movement to researchers. Researchers in the past studies have assumed that pedestrian spatial choice can be viewed as the result of utility-maximizing behavior which pedestrian have full environmental information. It was argued that this assumption may not reflect the real behavior. Because pedestrians do not behave with full information. The lacks of full information open the way for cognitive behavioral approach to understand the spatial decision-making process of pedestrians. The aim of this article is to explore how the spatial cognition affects an individual pedestrian’s space choice behavior. The empirical study is conducted in the Shi-Men pedestrian mall in Taipei city and the structural equation model (SEM) is used to obtain the relationship between individual spatial cognition and space choice behavior. The results are shown as follows: First, spatial cognition affects the pedestrian route choice directly but affects stops choice indirectly. The pedestrian spatial cognitive outcome directly affects the environmental attractiveness of stops, the environmental attractiveness of stops directly affects the individual shopping preference and the individual shopping preference directly affects the choice desire of stops when pedestrians choice stops in pedestrian mall. The environmental active attractiveness of stops directly affects the spatial cognition and the spatial cognitive outcome directly affects the desire of space on pedestrians route choice. Spatial cognition includes two parts: one is wayfinding cognition and the other is local environmental information cognition. Second, the factors of pedestrian wayfinding include the degree of difficulty of wayfinding, the local environmental information and the individual familiarity of space. Among these factors, the local environmental information is the main factor of pedestrian wayfinding. Pedestrian wayfinding is influenced by direct factor as well as indirect factor of the local environmental information. Keywords：Pedestrian, Spatial choice, Spatial cognition, Wayfinding.

To provide a basis of creating a suitable mode for community development and management, the action research aims to solve practical problems and to discuss the learning of the inhabitants and how the community identity changes. After nearly nineteen months of action, the conclusion of this research has been drawn as follows: 1. Community activities, community learning, community exchanges as well as more participation in public affairs are feasible strategies for Shi-mei Community to achieve the goal of strengthening community identity. 2. In the promotion of such action program, there are three major learning methods for Shi-mei inhabitants, including non-standard learning, informal learning, and self-learning. 3. With the promotion of community adult education, the community identity of Shi-mei inhabitants has been strengthened. 4. At present, the lack of talents in the community and the inactivity of the inhabitants are major difficulties for Shi-mei Community. 5. “Do and learn” is a good means in developing and managing community. 6. For a social worker, an action research is a good means in examining application and what has been learned. In the light of the above-mentioned conclusions and the action process, suggestions have been made as follows: Suggestion for future development of Shi-mei Community: 1. Gather and train talents in community development, encourage inhabitants to be more willing and capable to participate in community affairs by providing more opportunities. 2. Set up a manpower database in order to make full use of the labor power in the community. 3. Provide instant community information to continue improving the inhabitants’ understanding of their own community. 4. Integrate community groups to support and help each other as well as to share and progress with each other. Suggestions for future research: 1. Research subject: In order to create a more comprehensive mode of community development and management and to highlight local features, it is suggested that further investigation into other community groups should be made, such as the community care center and the community patrol team. 2. Research method: In order to create a more extensive and feasible strategy for strengthening community identity, it is suggested that a quantitative research should be applied to the study of the elements that influence how the inhabitants identify their community and that further investigation and discussion on relevant such elements should also be made.

Genome integrity needs to be preserved for the propagation of genetic information. Inactivation of proteins involved in DNA damage responses (DDR) are often associated with cancer and/or developmental disorders of the nervous system, which appear particularly vulnerable to DNA distress. The Nijmegen Breakage syndrome (NBS), due to NBS1 gene mutations, is characterized by microcephaly, facial dysmorphisms and cancer predisposition. The neurological features of NBS patients have been modeled in the Nbs1CNS-Δ mouse, a Nbs1 CNS-restricted knock-out which shows microcephaly, severe ataxia and dramatically impaired cerebellar development. Strikingly, a very similar phenotype is also observed in mice with SHH/MYCN conditional KO, suggesting that Nbs1 and SHH/MYCN might be functionally linked. Prompted by this hypothesis, we generated new mouse models with CNS-restricted inactivation of Nbs1 in a transgenic SmoA1 cancer-prone context and new GCPs cultures for in vitro studies. The new SmoA1/Nbs1CNS-Δ mouse model showed that the absence of Nbs1 completely blocks the SmoA1-dependent tumor phenotype and causes severe cerebellar defects during postnatal development. This suggests an epistatic role of Nbs1 on the SHH pathway. The dramatic and degenerated phenotype of this model did not allow an appropriate analysis of the molecular interactions between Nbs1 and the SHH pathway. Therefore, we generated a new Nbs1GCP-Δ mouse model with the specific deletion of Nbs1 in cerebellar granule progenitors (GCPs). This model showed that the absence of Nbs1 caused defects in cerebellar development and this was associated with downregulation of the SHH pathway both in vivo and ex vivo. This was also confirmed in an inducible cell autonomous context.
Given that the primary cilium is an essential structure for SHH signaling and given the emergent link between DDR proteins, centrosomes and ciliogenesis, we examined whether Nbs1 might be required for primary cilia formation and regulation, which in turn could affect SHH signaling. Accordingly, we provided strong evidence that loss of Nbs1 determines severe defects in ciliogenesis. Moreover, we showed that either the ciliary phenotype or the associated downregulation of the SHH pathway are rescued by loss of p53.
In conclusion, our data support a novel function for Nbs1 in cilia-dependent SHH signaling and raise the possibility that the Nbs1-p53 axis, in addition to their conventional role in DNA damage, may regulate ciliogenesis both in physiological and pathological conditions in the cerebellum.

As Chin Ping Mei, Xing Shi Yin Yuan, and the Dream of the Red Chamberto be the objects, this study is to reflect these four domestic fictions in Ming and Qing dynasties for the theme of time and cultural meanings they represented Along with readers’ prior exiting knowledge, a conception of eras which ordinarily established in domestic fictions is developing to be a metaphor of the time period. There is usually a close relationship between an individual and his family, and wax and wane in a family mainly bound with its nation; however, fatalism is not presented in the domestic fictions. In those novels, individuals are encouraged to be able to handle their own lifes. The sense of time in domestic fictions is in the process of everyday occurrence, such as meals, dressing, worship. Those domestic matters narrativing in daily life differences from the description in regular novels but approaches female's point of view. Blooming or adolescent flowers performs years went by rapidllly. Time and space are composing each other in the stories to complete time in the past or illusion in a dream. Seeing time fading away brings about much more emtion and effects in domestic fictions which are in the method of narrative. Therefore, as we can see that the narratives are affacted by a deeper sensation and transfered into lyrics, the expression of time is determined to be the significant role.
