Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to determine if the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) could explain the relationship between teacher's acceptance of an online teacher professional development course and their continuance intentions regarding online teacher professional development (oTPD). This study focused on the perceptions of the teachers as opposed to the design or implementation of oTPD. The participants (N=517) were mostly teachers (88.8%) enrolled in a statewide online course to provide classroom teachers with the latest knowledge of research-based instructional reading strategies.

Abstract:

At present, it is necessary to protect sensitive data against abuse, but also allow au-thorized persons to change these data. To increase the security of logging for authorized persons we often introduce a two-factors authentication, where the first step is verification of the user's identity and in a second step is required to insert a one-time password called OTP. This thesis deals with implementation of OTP and integration into the selected sys-tem. It also includes test and verification of the functionality of the selected solution.

Abstract:

The Intel Galileo, inspired by the well-known Arduino board, is a development board with many possibilities because of its strength. The Galileo is has an Intel processor capable of running GNU/Linux and can be connected to the internet, which opens up the possibility to be controlled remotely. The programming language that comes with the Intel Galileo is the same as for the Arduino development boards, and is therefore very limited and does not utilize the Galileo’s entire strength. Our aim with this project is to integrate a more suitable programming language; a language that can make better

Abstract:

In this paper the benchmark Unbalanced Tree Search (UTS) is ported and evaluated to the functional programming language Erlang. The purpose is to provide a portable benchmark that scales as the number of cores do in a system. Since Erlang is language built around concurrency language the speedup should prove to be interesting comparing to its competitors as the number of cores rise. This paper is written to describe how the algorithm works as well as what it has performed on a few different systems at SICS and presents the conclusions that can be drawn from them.

<p>Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) är den prissättningsmodell som mest frekvent används av aktörer på den finansiella marknaden samt i litteratur för att förklara sambandet mellan risk och förväntad avkastning. Teorin grundades under 1960-talet av William Sharpe och tidiga empiriska tester av modellen visade att den med hög förklaringsgrad kunde estimera en framtida förväntad avkastning givet en viss risknivå. På senare år har dock CAPM fått stark kritik eftersom nya empiriska undersökningar demonstrerat att modellen inte längre verkar visa en rättvisande avkastning i förhållande till risk.

Ever since the commencement of the new millennium, intangible cultural heritage, the cultural concept and campaign promoted by the UNESCO has rapidly spread the world. In China, thousands of traditional cultures and everyday practices have been absorbed into the intangible heritage system over the past decade, which is reshaping people's perception and engagement with everyday life and traditions. Intangible cultural heritage as an 'imported' concept has been highly localised and resituated in contemporary China.

Yet, somewhat disappointingly, the fiction to which Williams devoted much of his life’s endeavor has been largely neglected and dismissed. Whenever Williams is mentioned, the salient labels attached to him are invariably “cultural critic”, “cultural materialist”, “critical theorist” and so on.

Abstract:

This thesis discusses how Guo Xiang’s Commentary (hereinafter referred to as “the Commentary”) shapes our understanding of the Zhuangzi in regard to the usage of imputed words (yuyan 寓言). In order to discuss it, two issues have to be examined first: imputed words in the Zhuangzi, and comparison of the Commentary’s and the Zhuangzi’s usages of imputed words. As for the first issue, I argue in Chapter 1 that imputed words, echoing the Zhuangzi’s indeterminacy, can be regarded as metaphors. The rhetoric and persuasive purposes of imputed words help these words serve as purveyors to allow readers

The first question has a long history in philosophy of mind, and in various forms can be dated at least as far back as David Hume. For that reason, I refer to the problem as Hume’s Problem. As I interpret the question, the main difficulty with accounting for what beliefs are, is in distinguishing them from forms of acceptance, where acceptances are understood as

In the contemporary analytic tradition, philosophers are attracted to a naturalistic, scientific ontology hence a materialistic personal ontology that matches the huge success in scientific discoveries. They think that we are material objects. However, their views do not match our intuition about some cases regarding our survival. Also, the possibi

Abstract:

中国现代文学流派“七月派”强调文学创作中的“主观战斗精神”和“精神奴役创伤”，因其在文学领域异质凸显，与代表主流文化的文艺思想不尽契合，导致了 1955年中华人民共和国的第一大“文字狱”。自20世纪80年代以来，胡风事件及胡风文艺思想重新进入学术研宄视野，成为史学界和文艺界的研宄热点，但迄今为止国内外关于七月派研宄的现状并不令人满意，正如周燕芬所指出的，“现在的研宄成果中，实在留下不少史料的空白或者因史料的不信、疑虑、矛盾而带来的所谓‘分寸’，所谓‘留有余地’，说到底，依然是研宄的一种不清楚和未完成状态”（周燕芬，2013:6)。而就七月派翻译家研宄而言，也存在诸多研宄缺口。本论文论题有三：1、七月派作为“新文学的骄傲”，其领袖人物胡风的文艺理论特质何在？影响了怎样一个文学流派及翻译家群体？2、七月派翻译家以“启蒙现实主义”为译介出发点，形成了怎样的译介主张？3、从翻译政治学、描写翻译学理论、生存心态等视角探讨以胡风、满涛、绿原、呂荧等为代表的七月派翻译家具有哪些群体特征？本论文得出以下结论: 七月派翻译群体是我国翻译史上不可忽视的群体，他们基于启蒙现实主义思想的译介主张是以为时代和战斗而翻译，为文学经典生成而翻译，为民族文学发展而翻译为主要特征的。而胡风“为时代、为战斗而翻译”的“武器”翻译论，满涛“传达精义”的翻译观，绿原“整体效果”、翻译“异同”性、名著重译 “接力赛”

Foreignness is one primary concern of Translation Studies. Chinese calligraphy, with its unique aesthetic pursuits and cultural underpinnings, presents an unusual case of foreign otherness in relation to the English language. Thus, theories derived from the translation of Chinese calligraphic culture into English can contribute to our existing knowledge of the nature of translation. Despite sporadic endeavors, translation issues related to Chinese calligraphy remain largely under-researched.

We find that the land supply pattern is far from smooth: A city party secretary who is the leading official figure in that city would supply less land during the latter period of his/her office, especially after the first five-year term. Land supply, measured by the number of plots, land area and land revenue, refers to all land t

The East Asian modernization divergence in the late nineteenth century has long puzzled historians and social scientists. As Qing China, given its vast territory, large population and dominating influence spreading to neighboring countries, failed to modernize herself as its small island neighbor Japan did after the forced opening up by the West. One important divergence is their military capability, especially that of navy. The relatively higher capacity of the Imperial Japanese Navy has played a decisive role in its victory over the Beiyang Fleet in the 1894/95 First Sino-Japanese War. Follo

As a multicultural cosmopolitan, transnational migration has an inseparable relationship with the socio-economic development of Hong Kong, the phenomenon of transnational marriage between Hong Kong men and Southeast Asian women has become one of the influential factors impacting the family and social structure in this city. This research aimed to investigate the complicated identities of Thai female migrants within this specific socio-demographic group in Hong Kong. This study, guided by identity, gender, and narrative perspectives, examines the subjective experiences of Thai female migrants t

Abstract:

This study examines the question of how persisting economic and social inequalities between perpetrators and victims affect victims’ perceptions of justice and forgiveness in cross-cultural settings by applying the theory of relative deprivation. The hypothesis of this study is that inequalities trigger relative deprivation in victims, which in turn has a direct negative effect on forgiveness as well as an indirect effect via justice perceptions. Relative deprivation is defined as a consequence of a disadvantageous comparison with an outgroup. It includes the cognitive elements of comparing an

Abstract:

The Chinese higher education system has expanded in a massive way since 1999, with the college enrolment rate jumping from 9.76% in 1998 to 40% in 2015, transforming the higher education system from an elite system to a massive one. Producing large numbers of graduates in a short time results in numerous unemployed graduates each year, but the reasons for graduate unemployment are still debatable. The dissertation begins with the clarification of one indigenous concept that my research respondents often refer to when I was doing my fieldwork in Lanzhou and Shenzhen, “good job”.

Abstract:

For Filipino migrant workers , the journey overseas in search of contractual employment marks a profound turning point in their lives. It registers the crossing of spatial and cultural borders that leads to the shifting of terrains from which they make sense of their selves and the world of ‘others.’ It signifies a rupture in time that alters their sense of history, giving shape to new vantage points from which they reflect on the past and project an imagination of future. This research explores the question of how Filipina domestic workers in Hong Kong make sense of their experiences as ‘migr

At the end of the 20th century and beginning of the 21st century, China implemented several new asset write-down regulations. This study addresses the claim that these regulations significantly enhanced the usefulness of financial statements for investors in China. The effect of the regulations on usefulness of financial statements has implications for financial accountants, standard-setters, educators, and auditors. This study derives and tests some of the empirical implications of the claim. I operationalize usefulness of accounting information in terms of the valuerelevance framework, in wh

Abstract:

本論文研究一九二五至一九四九年間的香港新詩，即從目前所見最早的香港新詩資料開始，直至一九四九年為止。研究從翻查和整理大量早期報刊、文學雜誌等第一手資料開始，配合同時期中國新詩的發展，探討二○年代即香港新詩的創始階段，至一九四九年的發展特色，思考香港新詩在中國現代文學史上的意義，並展開相關討論。論文第一章先概述香港與內地新詩的連繫，再釐定本論文的研究範圍和香港新詩的定義，其中有關香港新詩的定義是參考上海現代文學史研究學者區分上海作家和上海文學為兩個不同概念的做法，把「香港詩人」和「香港新詩」分屬不同範疇，並特別以「香港新詩」為討論重點。除了地域層面上的意義，本論文亦嘗試析論香港新詩相對於中國新詩的精神面貌和詩學取向。第二至第九章基本上以時間發展為序，探討香港新詩不同時期的發展特色，包括二○年代引介五四新詩及不同的詩形式，三○年代的都市詩、對上海《現代》雜誌和現代派詩歌的學習和批評、寫實主義詩論的探討及創作，抗戰時期的論爭及不同取向、戰後的左翼詩歌等等，關注點除了特定時期的重要或主流風尚，也仔細閱讀難以歸類的詩作，思考時代風尚與主流以外不同風格之間的關係。早期香港新詩的發展除了本身特色，亦與大範圍內整個中國新詩的發展歷程密切相關，研究和討論早期香港新詩，除了「本土」的意義，也可以補充「中國現代文學史」論述的不足。相比一九五○年代以後的時期，早期香港新詩歷史的特色、亦

Abstract:

金庸自一九五五年在新晚報開始連載第一篇武俠小說《書劍恩仇錄》，至一九七○年封筆作《鹿鼎記》，共創作了十五部小說。這十五部小說在華人世界中歷久不衰，更引起不少討論。一九八四年，台灣遠景出版社出版了一系列「金學研究叢書」，「金學」一詞正式出現。最初，討論金庸作品都以短小的筆記型文章為主，集中在閱讀金著的感受、討論書中情節和人物等。一九八○年代末開始，「金學」己成為學術界的熱門研究課題，有大學更主辦「金庸小說學術研討會」，與會者多為享負盛名的學者，最近更出現了所謂「金庸學」(Jinyonology) 一詞。「金學研究集」發行人王榮文認為金庸「極有可能在有生之年看到其作品「經典化」的完成，這真是古今中外作家們少有的幸運」。王德威在《金庸小說國際學術研討會論文集》的序言中亦提到：「本書的出版，無疑為金庸作品經典化發展，再下一城。」這情況在當代華文創作圈中非常罕有，實在是一個值得深思的文化現象。金庸小說能發展到現在成為「經典」，內在原因當然是其小說本身的確是不可多得的好作品。然而，這並不是唯一，甚至不是最重要的原因，外在的文化脈絡因素發揮的作用更大。作為作者，金庸花了很大心力把自己的小說包裝成「經典文學」呈現在讀者面前；另外，經過中國大陸、香港和台灣的學術界和文化界不斷討論，金庸小說終於成為「經典」。然而，由於三地的政治文化環境不同，金庸小說的經典化在中港台所經

This single-period inventory problem is often referred to as the \classic newsvendor problem", in which the selling price is ¯xed, the order must be made before the selling period, and the decision maker is risk-neutral. If the decision maker orders too many (overage), the inventory cost will be too high. If the decision maker orders too few (underage), the potential pro¯t will be lost.
