Campbell, Bruce Kirkwood. "Ethics and worldview in identity-based conflict in Nigeria : a practical theological perspective on the religious dimension of violence in Plateau State." Thesis, University of Edinburgh, 2015. http://hdl.handle.net/1842/33120.
Full textAbstract:
Severe intercommunal violence has repeatedly rocked Plateau State in the first decade of the new millennium, killing thousands of people. Observers have attributed the "crisis" to political, economic and social forces which breed pockets of exclusion and resentment. One notable model explains the violence through a paradigm of privileged "indigenes" who seek to prevent "settlers" from the political rights which would give them the access to the resources managed by the state and the economic opportunities that this entails. While not taking issue with the diagnosed causes of conflict, the Researcher argues that there is a substantial body of evidence being ignored which points to conflict cleavage having opened up along the divide of Christian-Muslim religious identity in a way that the settler-identity model does not sufficiently explain. On the basis that perceptions are as important as facts when it comes to seeking a transformational peace process, he sets out to map world-views, identities and ethics of the warring factions. The researcher, motivated to undertake this research by his direct experience of the 2008 crises and three years experience as an adviser to the EYN's rural development outreach in Adamawa and Borno States, posits that religion may indeed be part of the problem, and mosque and church must be partners to a solution. Forced to limit the scope of his research, he embarks on the initial stages of a practical theological investigation in order to review the conflict from a specifically religious perspective which might assist the Church in its efforts towards peace. Research is focussed on the perceptions of the pew faithful of two denominations in Plateau and Adamawa States and is based on an evaluation of interviews and focus groups which were held across a range of cohorts and settings in order to draw comparative conclusions. Respondents' backgrounds were both rural/urban, young/old, Muslim/Christian, and hailed from various ethnic groups (Berom, Tarok, Kamwe, Fali and HausaFulani). Evaluation methodology drew heavily on Grounded Theory and also included elements of Critical Discourse Analysis. The success of the methodology hinged on the ability of the Researcher to establish rapport and trust with respondents. The applied research methods were foremostly designed to build theory rather than statistically test any hypotheses. The thesis detects evidence not only for the salience of religion as a factor in the way conflict unfolds, but of religion displacing ethnicity as the marker of identity in some locations and age groups. It also demonstrates how ethno-religious narratives stemming from former rural strife between nomadic and sedentary populations and urban conflicts resulting from the competition for indigene rights have been conflated and then further reinforced by the emerging threat of Boko Haram, resulting in a narrative of a unified Muslim programme for conquest, domination and forced conversion. In tune with an undertaking couched in practical theology, this research also identifies a number challenges to the Church's witness and its ability to be a convincing force for reconciliation which arise from this. Eminently, there are signs that ethnocentric mores have been integrated into an emerging Christian identity, which engenders a monolatric perception of God and a penchant to reinforce boundaries rather than remove them. However, Christians also feel restricted by a Christian imperative to forego violence and beleaguered by an Islamic front which they perceive as having moral licence to perpetrate violence in pursuit of dominance. The researcher holds the conviction that it is the Nigerian Church who must embark on a theological process on her own to respond to some of these problems, and concludes with a number of propositions and recommendations to assist her on this voyage.

Full textAbstract:
Cocoyam [Colocasia esculenta (L.) Schott] is widely cultivated as a staple food in the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The crop, however, remains unpopular and not well known outside KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa where it is cultivated mainly for subsistence. The aims of the study were to collect local landraces (accessions) of the crop from where it is found growing within the country for various studies and also to document its nutritional values as well as the safety/toxicity of the crop. The study was carried out using various methods. These included a comparative assessment of the proximate, mineral and antinutrient compositions of cooked and uncooked tubers of a typical commercially available cocoyam and potato found in South African markets. These investigations were repeated for the tubers and leaves of available landraces (seven accessions) of C. esculenta found growing in the farmers’ fields in KwaZulu-Natal Province. Also, an in vivo toxicological study on cooked accessions of the local landraces was conducted to determine possible toxicity effects after consumption using albino rats as a model. The results revealed that commercially available cocoyam and potato tubers have very close nutritional components. Analysis of the proximate composition of seven accessions (UFCe1- UFCe7) of cooked and uncooked tubers of cocoyam indicated that UFCe7 was better in ash, crude protein, crude fibre and crude lipid contents but with higher moisture which could make it more vulnerable to microbial attack. No tubers of the seven accessions appeared to be ii outstandingly better than the others based on their mineral compositions. However, in terms of antinutritional factors, UFCe1, UFCe3 and UFCe7 had the least amounts of oxalate, tannins and phytate in their cooked states. It was discovered however, that the leaves of the accessions of this vegetable contain substantial amount of minerals, and therefore, can contribute significantly to the nutrient requirements of humans and could be recommended as a cheap source of nutrients in South Africa. None of the accessions was outstandingly better than the others in terms of their mineral contents and anti-nutritional factors. Moreover, the current study has shown that boiling the leaves of cocoyam prior to consumption is an effective way of reducing the antinutrient contents of the leaves of the plant thereby making it safe for consumption. The findings also revealed that cooking C. esculenta leaves may increase the levels of protein, fibre and lipid contents while cooking may also decrease the mineral, carbohydrate and caloric contents of the leaves of the accessions. The leafy vegetable may, therefore, be recommended as a cheap source of plant protein. Cooking improved the nutritive value as a result of the reduction in antinutrient levels, thereby improving the food quality in all the tuber and leaf samples used for this study. At the same time, cooked samples also suffered loss of some nutrients with respect to the proximate and mineral compositions. However, supplementation from other food sources that are rich in these nutrients is necessary when these crops are cooked for consumption. Any of the cocoyam accessions may be recommended for consumption for improved protein and mineral nutrients while tubers of accession UFCe7 have also shown good promise in terms of protein and fibre content availability. The results of the in vivo study, using the liver and kidney functional endpoints of weanling albino rats (Rattus norvegicus) maintained on different accessions of cooked cocoyam-based iii diets (UFCe1-UFCe7) for 28 days, revealed that all the accessions produced selective alterations on the hepatorenal indices of weanling rats. The highest alterations were produced by UFCe4 while the least was from UFCe2. These alterations may have consequential effects on the normal functioning of the liver and kidney of the animals. The UFCe2 exhibited the least toxicity risk among the accessions of C. esculenta growing in KwaZulu-Natal Province of South Africa.

Quero, Garcia José. "Diversité génétique et amélioration des taros du Vanuatu." Montpellier, ENSA, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004ENSA0009.
Full textAbstract:
Ce travail de thèse a été réalisé en partie à Montpellier (CIRAD-Biotrop) et au Vanuatu. Le matériel végétal pour cette étude était issu de la collection nationale de taros du Vanuatu et d’une série de croisements de plein-frères. Les descripteurs morpho-agronomiques et les marqueurs moléculaires AFLP ont permis de valider une méthode de stratification des collections de taro. Des études de diversité génétique menées à l’aide de marqueurs AFLP et microsatellite ont montré un polymorphisme plus fort que celui antérieurement décrit avec les isoenzymes. Les sources de cette diversité proviendraient d’introductions multiples, de l’accumulation de mutations somatiques et de la reproduction sexuée, considérée traditionnellement comme très rare. Des études d’héritabilité familiale et au sens strict (par la régression parents-enfants) ont montré que le nombre de stolons et de rejets, la forme du corme et la teneur en matière sèche présentaient des héritabilités plus fortes que le rendement ou ses composantes. Ce résultat, combiné à un fort pourcentage de bons hybrides chez certaines familles, illustre l’importance de la sélection familiale dans les programmes d’amélioration. Enfin, à partir de deux cartes génétiques faiblement saturées (contenant chacune près de 170 marqueurs), un QTL expliquant une part importante de la variance phénotypique a été détecté pour le rendement. D’autres QTLs putatifs ont été observés pour des caractères liés à la vigueur (dimensions du corme, hauteur de la plante et dimensions foliaires). De même, plusieurs marqueurs fortement liés à la couleur jaune du corme ont été détectés et une hypothèse sur la présence d’un gène majeur a été proposée<br>This study has been conducted both in Montpellier (CIRAD-Biotrop) and in Vanuatu. The plant material used was issued from the taro national collection of Vanuatu and from a series of full-sib crosses. Agro-morphological descriptors, as well as AFLP molecular markers, have allowed us to validate a method for stratifying taro germplasm collections. Several studies of genetic diversity, based on AFLP and SSR markers, have shown a stronger polymorphism as compared with previous isoenzyme results. The sources of diversity might originate from multiple introductions, from the accumulation of somatic mutations and from sexual reproduction, traditionally considered as very rare. Studies of family heritability and narrow sense heritability (estimated through the parents-offspring regression) have proven that the number of stolons and suckers, the corm shape and the dry matter content shared higher heritabilities than the yield or its components. This result, added to a high percentage of valuable hybrids within several families, highlights the importance of family selection in taro breeding programs. Finally, after building two weakly saturated genetic maps (containing each about 170 markers), one QTL explaining a large part of the phenotypic variance has been detected for the yield. Several other putative QTLs have been observed for traits related to vigour (corm dimensions, plant height and leaf dimensions). Furthermore, several markers were found closely linked to the yellow colour of the corm and a hypothesis concerning the existence of a major gene has been proposed

Full textAbstract:
Abstract
British composer Tarik Hamilton O’Regan is a significant choral composer of the early twenty-first century. O’Regan’s Magnificat and Nunc Dimittis and The Ecstasies Above exhibit two notable compositional techniques: minimalism influenced by Steve Reich and exoticism representing Balinese gamelan and Andalusian music. Additionally, Reich joins the technique of minimalism with the Renaissance practice of alternatim. The examination of these works will demonstrate the application of these two compositional techniques and how he integrates them into a textural context to evoke specific historical and cultural practices. Furthermore, this study will provide guidelines for researching and performing O’Regan’s choral works by explaining O’Regan’s stylistic characteristics.

Master of Visual Arts<br>Abstract/Summary Dissertation Divination: Exemplifying and Configuring Archetypes in Ceramics is a study of my research practice. The cards of the tarot can be used as a conceptual framework and source of inspiration for making ceramic sculptures. The cards can be used to understand the creative process as an expression of archetypes. My dissertation discusses these archetypes from the tarot cards, both in their historical operation, their manifestation in my art practice, as well as, examining approaches taken to these archetypes by other artists such as Salvador Dali and Niki de Saint Phalle. The theoretical basis for the dissertation is informed by the writings of Carl G. Jung who has proposed concepts dealing with creativity, coincidence, a collective unconscious and archetypes. These ideas form a model for the understanding of my studio work. As background, the dissertation examines examples of artworks that could be seen to be drawn from a collective unconscious. Studio Work The studio work consists of a series of ceramic sculptures formulating the archetypes that I have derived from the tarot cards. The three dimensional clay, with found inclusions, examines the idea of specific archetypes. These archetypes are titled in the works including: The Fool, Strength, The Magician, Tarot Sun, The Empress II, The Lovers, Empress l, The Chariot I and II The Angel Temperance, The Tarot Devil and The World. The ceramic objects have been created in clay using handbuilding techniques. The clay was such that it could include found ceramic pieces and be refired. The pieces have been re-fired many times to achieve a variety of glaze effects. The works range in size from 30-60 cms approximately and include freestanding sculptures and complementing flat wall works.

Previous issue date: 2017-03-27<br>Fundação de Amparo à Pesquisa da Amazônia<br>A olericultura caracteriza-se por ser uma atividade agrícola que apresenta intenso manejo do solo, além do uso intensivo de adubos minerais e/ou orgânicos e de defensivos agrícolas, especialmente quando em monocultivo. Por sua vez, o cultivo consorciado é como uma alternativa interessante na produção de hortaliças, principalmente para produtores da agricultura familiar, os quais dispõem de pequena área física para seus cultivos. Além de proporcionar o uso mais harmônico da área agrícola, com o plantio de diferentes culturas e conseqüente redução de impacto ao ambiente, proporciona a diversificação de produtos e, conseqüentemente, de suas fontes de renda. Nesse contexto, foram realizados dois experimentos com o objetivo de avaliar a viabilidade agronômica e econômica do cultivo do taro em consórcio com outras hortaliças. Ambos os experimentos foram conduzidos a campo, na Horta do Departamento de Fitotecnia da Universidade Federal de Viçosa, no delineamento experimental de blocos casualizados, com cinco e quatro repetições, respectivamente. O experimento I constou de 13 tratamentos resultantes de uma monocultura do taro; três épocas de consorciação do taro com milho verde, com as três épocas respectivas de monocultivo do milho verde; três épocas de consorciação do taro com milho verde seguido do feijão-vagem, com as três épocas respectivas dos monocultivos do milho verde seguido de monocultivos do feijão-vagem. Avaliaram-se as características produtivas das culturas e os indicadores agroeconômicos para medir a eficiência dos sistemas consorciados. Os dados foram submetidos à análise de variância e as médias foram comparadas por meio dos testes de Tukey, F e Dunnet adequados ao interesse do trabalho. Apesar do tratamento de taro em monocultivo ter apresentado maior produtividade que em consórcio, os tratamentos em sistemas consorciados proporcionaram maior eficiência econômica, com destaque para o consórcio taro e feijão-vagem associado aos 164 DAP (dias após o plantio do taro). O experimento II foi constituído de 13 tratamentos resultantes dos cultivos consorciados do taro com brócolis, couve-chinesa, berinjela, jiló, pimentão e maxixe, e de suas respectivas monoculturas. As colheitas das hortaliças foram semanais, iniciadas cerca de 60 dias após o transplante das mudas, e realizadas por, aproximadamente, 120 dias, com exceção da couve-chinesa cuja colheita foi realizada em uma única vez. Avaliaram-se as características produtivas das culturas e os indicadores agroeconômicos para medir a eficiência dos sistemas consorciados. Os dados foram à análise de variância e às médias comparadas por meio de testes de Tukey, Dunnet, F e o critério de agrupamento Scott- Knott, conforme o interesse do trabalho. Todos os consórcios foram eficientes, pois apresentam índice de uso eficiente da terra (UET) acima da unidade e elevada renda líquida e vantagem monetária, sendo o consórcio taro-jiló o menos vantajoso economicamente.<br>The vegetable production is characterized by being an agricultural activity that presents intense management of the soil, besides the intensive use of mineral and / or organic fertilizers and of agricultural pesticides, especially when in monoculture. The irrational use of these resources can by cause considerable environmental impact by compromising the agricultural environment for future uses. In turn, intercropping emerges as an interesting alternative in the production of vegetables, mainly for producers of family agriculture, which have a small physical area for their crops. In addition to providing the most harmonious use of the agricultural area, with diversification of crops and consequent reduction of impact to the environment, it provides the diversification of its sources of income. In this context, two experiments were carried out with the objective of evaluating the agronomic and economic viability of the taro crop in a intercropping with other vegetables. Both experiments were conducted in the field, in Department of Plant Science, Federal University of Viçosa, in the experimental design of randomized blocks, with five and four replications, respectively. The experiment I consisted of 13 treatments resulting from a taro monoculture; three times of taro intercropping with green corn, with the respective three times of monoculture of the green corn; three times of taro intercropping with green corn followed by snap bean, with the respective three times of the monocultures of the green corn followed by monocultures of the snap bean. The productive characteristics of the crops and the agroeconomic indicators were evaluated to measure the efficiency of the intercropping systems. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and the means were compared by Tukey, F and Dunnet’s tests appropriate to the interest of the work. Although the treatment of taro in monoculture presented higher productivity than in a consortium, the treatments in intercropping systems provided greater economic efficiency, especially the taro and snap bean associated at 164 DAP (days after taro planting). The experiment II consisted of 13 treatments resulting from the intercropping of taro with broccoli, chinese cabbage, eggplant, jiló, peppers and gerkin, and their respective monocultures. Harvesting of the vegetables was weekly, initiated about 60 days after the transplanting of the seedlings, and carried out for approximately 120 days, except for the chinese cabbage whose harvest was carried out in a single time. The productive characteristics of the crops and the agroeconomic indicators were evaluated to measure the efficiency of the intercropping systems. The data were analyzed by analysis of variance and the means compared by Tukey, Dunnet, F tests and group criterion according to the interest of the work. All the consortiums were efficient, because they have land use índex (UET) above unity and high net income and monetary advantage, the taro-jiló intercropping being the least economically advantageous.

Culture loss has been a causative factor of many forms of disease in indigenous populations. Ancestral growing systems and the culturally important plants propagated within the systems are included in the cultural symbols that have been diminished due to a change of power. In Hawai’i and on Easter Island, also known as Rapa Nui, these ancestral growing systems are the lo’i and the manavai respectively. The symbolic plant is taro (Colocasia esculenta). Currently the systems are being revived at different rates, and with the revival of the systems, there is a higher potential for well-being. Well-being is analyzed in the realms of the individual, the relational, and the collective. The community built surrounding the redevelopment of the lo’i and the manavai addresses each level of well-being.

Full textAbstract:
Le Tarot de Marseille est un jeu psycho-spirituel crée au XVe siècle. Il appartient à la résurgeance platonicienne et hermétiste, contemporaine de Marsile Ficin et de Nicolas de Cues. Son inspiration implique un rappel de doctrines qui avaient été assimilées aux siècles précédents, à savoir le péripatétisme arabe et judaïsme. Cette époque charnière, bas Moyen Age/Renaissance, connaît la querelle Avicenne/Averroès dans laquelle dominicains et franciscains spirituels jouèrent un rôle majeur. Elle vit le développement de l’alchimie, qui, dans une perspective de prophétisme joachimite, proposait une doctrine du salut et la résolution du problème de la pauvreté. Cela donna naissance à un type nouveau d’intellectuel, l’intellectuel-mystique. Le jeu offre, sur un mode symbolique, sur fond de psychologie avicennienne, une démarche de conversion de l’âme, qui, grâce à l’imagination active, se dévêt de ses « écorces », atteint progressivement au salut et à l’illumination. L’époque ficinienne, découronnée de son ontologie, est une époque riche en productions et manifestations « imaginales » ; le jeu, qui lui est contemporain, est un rappel de la fonction « imaginale » de l’âme. Il peut, de par sa nature symbolique, faire redécouvrir ce que l’intellectuel des XIIIe/XIVe siècle, connaissait<br>The « Tarot de Marseille » is a deck of cards created in the XVth century as a psycho-spiritual play. It is a product of the hermetic and platonician revival at the time of Marsilius Ficinus and Nicholas of Cusa. It owes its inspiration to the recall of doctrines which the preceeding centuries had assimilated : Arabian peripatetism and Judaism. These intermediate times, covering the late medieval period and the Renaissance, witnessed the Avicenna/Averroes dispute, in which the Dominican and Franciscan spiritual orders played a major role. It is in those times that alchemy developed a doctrine of salvation and a solution to the question of poverty, in a joachimite prophetic perspective. This gave birth to a new kind of intellectual : the mystical intellectual. The Tarot offers, on a symbolic scale, rooted in avicennian psychology, a path of conversion for the soul which, by using the vis imaginativa, rids itself of successive layers of “bark”, reaching, little by, salvation and illumination. The times of Marsilius Ficinus, although deprived of ontological grandeur, are, however, rich in “imaginal”productions and manifestations. An offspring of those days, the Tarot deck is an illustration of the imaginal function of the soul.

Full textAbstract:
Twenty-two miniatures of the Tarot is a cycle for chamber ensemble related to the twenty-two major arcana of the Tarot. Indeed, the intention of this composition is to capture the esoteric essence for each Major Arcana of the Tarot, making them speak musically in a contemporary language of music. Ideally, this cycle should be performed in the same order as the Tarot cycle, which has a number for each Major Arcana: 1) The Magician, 2) The High Priestess, 3) The Empress, 4) The Emperor, 5) The Pope, 6) The Lover, 7) The Chariot, 8) Justice, 9) The Hermit, 10) The Wheel of Fortune, 11) Strength, 12) The Hanged Man, 13) The Nameless Arcanum, 14) Temperance, 15) The Devil, 16) The Tower, 17) The Star, 18) The Moon, 19) The Sun, 20) Judgment, 21) The World and 22) The Fool.

Previous issue date: 2017<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior<br>A infância e adolescência são estágios da vida essenciais para a formação de hábitos alimentares saudáveis. Por isso, o oferecimento de variações alimentares auxilia nesse aspecto, demostrando sua importância. Diversos alimentos possuem nutrientes que podem auxiliar tanto no tratamento como na prevenção de diversas doenças. Com isso, destacamos o taro, que é um tubérculo rico em nutrientes, destacando-se pelo seu conteúdo de vitaminas, minerais e fitoquímicos, que são fundamentais para o desenvolvimento corpóreo e ósseo durante esse estágio da vida. Dessa forma, o objetivo desse estudo foi avaliar o efeito da farinha de taro (Colocasia esculenta) sobre a composição corporal e óssea de ratos machos Wistar aos 90 dias de idade. Ao nascimento, cada mãe permaneceu com 6 filhotes que, ao completarem 21 dias, foram divididas em 2 grupos: grupo controle, que foi tratado com ração controle (GC, n=12), e o grupo experimental, tratado com a ração contendo 25% de farinha de taro (GE, n=12). Ao longo do experimento, foram analisados, semanalmente, a ingestão alimentar (g), comprimento (cm) e a massa corporal (g). Uma semana antes da eutanásia, foi realizada a curva glicêmica. Aos 90 dias de vida, os animais foram anestesiados com injeção intraperitoneal de Thiopentax® para a avaliação da composição corporal através do Absorciometria com dupla emissão de raios-X (DXA). A eutanásia foi realizada através da retirada do sangue, coletado por punção cardíaca para a realização das análises sorológicas. O tecido adiposo, o fêmur direito e a quarta vértebra lombar foram coletados para análises posteriores. Diferença significativa foi considerada quando p<0,05. Durante o estudo, foi observado que o GE apresentou maior massa corporal (p<0,001). Em relação à curva glicêmica não foi observado diferença significativa entre os grupos. Nos dados sorológicos, não houve diferença significativa de colesterol total, HDL, triglicerídeos e insulina. Porém os níveis de osteocalcina plasmática (+68%, p=0,0012) foram maiores no GE. Com o resultado do DXA, o GE mostrou maior massa magra (+11%, p=0,0015), gorda (+38%, p=0,0004), densidade mineral óssea (DMO) (+8%, p=0,0002), conteúdo mineral óssea (CMO) (+22%, p<0,0001) e área óssea total (+13%, p=0,0012). A massa absoluta (+56%, p=0,0005) e relativa (+34%, p=0,0061) da gordura intra-abdominal foi maior no GE. A análise da coluna (+12%, p=0,0006) e vértebra (+7%, p=0,0012) apontaram a DMO maior no GE. Em relação às análises e ao teste biomecânico do fêmur, o GE apresentou-se maior nos seguintes quesitos: peso (+14%, p=0,002), distância entre as epífises (+3%, p=0,019), ponto médio (+6%, p=0,006), DMO (+8%, p=0,0003) e força máxima (+10%, p=0,049). Esses resultados podem ser explicados devido ao alto conteúdo de fitoquímicos do taro, como a saponina e flavonoides, pois ambas atuam na composição corporal e tecido ósseo. Assim como, a presença de minerais, como cálcio, magnésio e fósforo, atuando na adequada mineralização óssea. Com isso, o taro pode ser considerado um bom auxiliador no desenvolvimento da composição corporal e óssea em ratos, porém mais estudos são necessários para melhor compreensão da atuação desses elementos.<br>The childhood and adolescence were life essential stage to formation of healthy eating habits. For this, offering of the foods variations helps in this aspect, demonstrated its importance. Several foods have nutrients that may help in the treatment and prevention of various diseases. Thereby, the taro is rich in several nutrients, as vitamin, minerals and phytochemicals. Being theses, fundamental to body and bone development during this life stage. In this way, the aim of this study was evaluated the effect of taro flour (Colocasia esculenta) upon body and bone composition of the males rats Wistar at 90 days of age. At born, each mother remained with 6 pups and, after that, were divided in 2 groups: control group, that was treated with diet control (CG, n=12) and experimental group, treated with diet content 25% of the taro flour (EG, n=12). Throughout the experiment, were analyzes weekly: food intake (g), length (cm) and body mass (g). One week before the euthanasia, was performed the glycemic curve. At 90 days, the animals were anesthetized with an intraperitoneal injection of Thiopentax ® and was submitted to body composition through DXA. The euthanasia was performed by removal blood, that was collected by cardiac puncture to serological test. The femur and fourth lumbar vertebra were collected to the analyze bone composition by Dual-energy ray absorptiometry (DXA) and biomechanical test. Differences were considered significant with p < 0.05. During this study, was observed that EG was higher values body mass (p<0.001) when compared to CG. In relation the glycemic curve, there wasn’t significant difference. Of serological data, there wasn’t significant difference of cholesterol, HDL, triglycerides and insulin, but levels of osteocalcin (+68%, p=0.0012) was higher in EG. Results of DXA, EG was higher: lean (+11%, p=0.0015) and fat (+38%, p=0.0004) mass, bone density mineral (BMD) (+8%, p=0.0002) and content (BMC) (+22%, p<0.0001), bone area total (+13%, p=0.0012). Absolute (+56%, p=0.0005) and relative (+34%, p=0.0061) mass of intra-abdominal fat was higher in EG. Spine (+12%, p=0.0006) and vertebra (+7%, p=0.0012), BMD was higher in EG. In relation of analysis and biochemical test of femur, EG was higher in the following questions: mass (+14%, p=0.002), distance between epiphyses (+3%, p=0.019), midpoint of the diaphysis (+6%, p=0.006), BMD (+8%, p=0.0003) and maximum force (+10%, p=0.049). These results were observed due higher phytochemical content of taro, as saponins and flavonoids because both act in corporal composition of bone tissue. As, the minerals presence, as calcium, magnesium and potassium, contributing to adequate bone mineralization. Thereby, taro can be a good helper in the body and bone development in rats, but more studies were necessary for better understanding of these elements.

Previous issue date: 2012-04-20<br>Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES<br>Taro has economic and industrial potential to justify investment in this culture
because it is a food with excellent nutritional quality, especially starch, important source of
energy, frequently used in the food industry, particularly as gelling and thickening agent,
applied in the development of several products. However the starch in its native form has
limitations for use, requiring modifications to improve its functional properties and increasing
its possibilities for use in the food industry. The objective of this research was to study and
compare the properties of native starch extract from taro (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott)
clone Macaquinho with its modified starch by oxidation, acid hydrolysis, succinylation,
intercross and combination of hydrolysis, succinylation and intercross for use in the food
industry. After extraction of the starch, it was modified by oxidation using sodium
hypochlorite, hydrolysis with hydrochloric acid, succinylation with succinic anhydride and
intercrossing with trimetaphosphate and sodium tripolyphosphate. According to the
experiments, it was verified that the native starch extracted from Macaquinho clone
contains considerable percentage of starch, low amount of substances contaminants, like
proteins or lipids, without influences on the functional properties. After the modifications and
combinations occurred in the native starch, they did not showed degree of substitution beyond
that permitted by regulatory agencies, being in accordance with Brazilian law. The addition of
the substituent groups was decisive in the characterization of the functional properties of taro
starch, modified and combined. Microscopy revealed that the starch granules presented
circular and polyhedral shapes. The hydrolyzed, succinylated and intercrossed starches
suffered major visible alterations in their morphology due to the modifications conducted. The
swelling of the granules occurred above 75oC, with prominence for the native, oxidized,
succinylated and intercrossed starches, which had their swelling power increased with the
increase of temperature. The highest solubility was observed in hydrolyzed starches. The
higher water absorption capacity was verified in intercrossed starch and the hydrolyzed
starches demonstrated higher oil absorption and paste clarity. The best paste properties were
obtained to the oxidized starch, followed by native and succinylated starches, with maximum
viscosity at low temperatures. However, the oxidized starch showed higher retrogradation
tendency, differently from hydrolyzed starches, more stables. The functional profiles noted in
native, modified and combined starches of taro were variables, which provide a lot of
possibilities for their use in the food industry.<br>O taro apresenta potencialidades econômicas e industriais que justificam
investimentos nesta cultura, pois se trata de um alimento com excelente qualidade nutricional,
especialmente em amido, importante fonte energética, muito utilizado na indústria de
alimentos, especialmente como agente espessante e gelificante, aplicado no desenvolvimento
de inúmeros produtos. Porém o amido na sua forma nativa apresenta limitações de uso, sendo
necessária sua modificação, visando a melhoria das suas propriedades funcionais e
aumentando as possibilidades de utilização na indústria alimentícia. O objetivo desta pesquisa
foi estudar e comparar as propriedades do amido nativo de taro (Colocasia esculenta L.
Schott) clone Macaquinho com o seu amido modificado por oxidação, hidrólise ácida,
succinilação, intercruzamento, e por combinação da hidrólise com succinilação e
intercruzamento para utilização na indústria alimentícia. Após a extração do amido, este foi
modificado por oxidação utilizando o hipoclorito de sódio, hidrólise com ácido clorídrico,
succinilação com anidrido succínico e intercruzamento com trimetafosfato e tripolifosfato de
sódio. Com base nos experimentos realizados constatou-se que o extrato amiláceo nativo do
clone Macaquinho contém considerável percentual de amido, com baixo teor de substâncias
consideradas contaminantes, não influenciando nas suas propriedades funcionais. Após as
modificações e combinações conduzidas no amido nativo, os mesmos não apresentaram grau
de substituição além do permitido pelos órgãos reguladores, estando em conformidade com a
legislação brasileira. A inclusão dos grupos substituintes foi determinante na caracterização
das propriedades funcionais do amido de taro, modificados e combinados. A microscopia
revelou que os amidos apresentavam grânulos com formatos circulares e poliédricos. Os
amidos hidrolisados, succinilados e intercruzados, sofreram maiores alterações visíveis em
sua morfologia, devido às modificações conduzidas. O intumescimento dos grânulos ocorreu
acima de 75ºC, com destaque para os amidos nativo, oxidado, succinilado e intercruzado, que
tiveram seu poder de inchamento aumentado com a elevação da temperatura. Os maiores
perfis de solubilidade foram constatados nos amidos hidrolisados. A maior capacidade de
absorção de água foi observada nos amidos intercruzados e a absorção de óleo foi mais
evidenciada nos amidos hidrolisados, que também apresentaram maior claridade da pasta. As
melhores propriedades de pasta foram obtidas no amido oxidado, seguido dos amidos nativo e
succinilado, com viscosidades máximas em temperaturas mais baixas. Porém o amido
oxidado apresentou maior tendência à retrogradação, diferentemente dos amidos hidrolisados
com pastas mais estáveis. Os perfis funcionais constatados nos amidos nativo, modificados e
combinados de taro foram variáveis, o que propicia uma série de possibilidades para a sua
utilização na indústria alimentícia.

Full textAbstract:
The taro landraces that are most preferred by farmers from Umbumbulu, KwaZulu-Natal
were identified through focus group discussions with farmers. Farmers ranked taro
landraces on the basis of preference as determined by economic value, social
significance, ecological importance and food characteristics. Using pairwise ranking, the
farmers' preference of taro landraces across all locations was found to be in the following
order: Dumbe-dumbe, Mgingqeni, Pitshi and Dumbe-lomfula. Dumbe-dumbe was
identified as the currently actively cultivated taro whereas Mgingqeni was regarded as a
less desirable cultivated taro. Pitshi was regarded as an antiquated landrace and Dumbe-lomfula
was generally regarded as a taro type of no economic, social or food value that
grew on river banks as a wild species.
Glasshouse and field studies were conducted to determine the effects of temperature and
growing location [Pietermaritzburg (UKZN) and Umbumbulu] on emergence, plant
growth and yield of taro. Starch and mineral composition of taro corms were determined
in harvest-mature corms. Effects of three day/night temperature levels (22/12°C, 27/17°C
and 33/23°C) were examined on the growth of four taro landraces Dumbe-dumbe,
Mgingqeni, Pitshi and Dumbe-lomfula. Pitshi-omhlophe, an ecotype of Pitshi for which
there was a limited amount of planting material, was also included in the glasshouse
studies. The farmers stated that the normal growing season for the economically
important landraces, Dumbe-dumbe and Mgingqeni, was six months, but in this study
plants were grown in glasshouses for nine months, and in the field, for seven months
before the attainment of harvest maturity.
Emergence was determined daily for glasshouse experiment until all plants had emerged
and it was determined monthly for the field experiment. Leaf number, plant height and
leaf area were measured every month to determine growth and development, while
number of corms and fresh corm weight were used at harvest to determine yield. For all
landraces, time to emergence increased significantly with decrease in temperature from
33/23°C to 27/17°C, but it increased significantly for only Dumbe-dumbe and Mgingqeni
from 27/17°C to 22/12°C. Mgingqeni showed the shortest time to emergence, whereas,
Pitshi showed the longest delay in emergence. The locations were not significantly
different in emergence. Mgingqeni displayed the highest emergence in UKZN (91.4%),
whereas, Dumbe-dumbe displayed the highest emergence (95.5%) and Dumbe-lomfula
displayed the lowest emergence (55.9%) in Umbumbulu. Leaf number was highest for
Pitshi-omhlophe, in glasshouse experiment due to its tendency to produce multiple shoots
compared with the other landraces. Plant height increased with increase in temperature
for all landraces except for Pitshi, for which height decreased with an increase in
temperature. Leaf area was greatest for Dumbe-lomfula at all temperatures and lowest for
Pitshi at both 22/12°C and 27/17°C. Leaf number was highest for Mgingqeni and lowest
for Dumbe-lomfula at both sites, although it was significantly lower only for Dumbe-lomfula
in UKZN. Plant height and leaf area were significantly highest for Dumbe-lomfula
at both sites. The highest total number of corms per plant was shown by Pitshi-omhlophe
at 22/12°C. Total fresh corm weight was highest for Dumbe-lomfula at
27/17°C and lowest for Pitshi at 22/22°C. The field experiment results showed Pitshi and
Dumbe-lomfula with significantly higher total fresh corm weight in UKZN compared
with Umbumbulu.
Corms were analysed for mineral elements and starch. There were significant differences
in starch content between temperatures (P = 0.017) and taro landraces (P = 0.025). There
was also a significant interaction of temperatures and landrace (P = 0.002). Starch content
increased with temperature for all landraces except for Pitshi-omhlophe and Dumbe-lomfula
which showed a decrease at 27/17°C. There were significant differences in corm
mineral content between temperatures, locations and landraces (P < 005).
It is concluded that the chemical composition of taro corms is influenced by growth
temperature and the location (site) where the crop is grown. The results of this study also
indicated that taro plant growth is enhanced by high temperatures (33/23°C). High
temperatures are, however, associated with short leaf area duration and subsequently low
yield. The findings of this study may also be useful in determining taro quality for
processing.<br>Thesis (M.Sc.)-University of KwaZulu-Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2006.

碩士<br>輔仁大學<br>宗教學系碩士在職專班<br>103<br>Abstract
The purpose of the study is to discuss how the popular Tarot reading forms divination text, textual recital, questioner’s interpretation and other related issues through the textual, recital and hermeneutic theory of Ricœur.
Ricœur’s hermeneutics, regarding a text as hermeneutic detour or media, emphasizes how the reader reconstructs narrative identity of self through interpreting the text. His hermeneutics discusses being human and considers that every textual interpretation is for self-understanding and integrating, a request for a totality of meaning. In Time and Narrative, Ricœur proposes the threefold mimesis, viewing recital as creative imitation. Moreover, recital is divided into prefiguration, configuration and refiguration to illustrate how to reconstruct the reader’s self-understanding. Recital not only redescribes the event, but also, in Ricœur’s view, constructs the identity viewed as self. He also proposes the dialectic of sameness and selfhood in terms of the self. Through distansation and appropriation of hermeneutics, self, with recital understanding, would represent a more coherent and concordant emplotment and self. (Chapter Two)
The Tarot reading is divination by card images, initially a game of cards in the royal court originating from Europe. Since the 18th century, the Tarot has also found use for divination. The traditional Tarot deck consists of 78 cards. For divination, the questioner follows the practitioner’s instruction, choosing a certain number of cards, and the practitioner interprets. Tarot reading is valid for three to six months. With the spread, the cards chosen by the questioner are laid out for the reading representing past, present, and future. In the study, three cases of the reading are provided to present the process of questioning, choosing, interpreting, and responding. In addition, the two interviews after the reading help discuss how the questioner reorganizes the understanding of the event meaning in temporal distance. (Chapter Three)
Recital plays an important role in divination. There are three stages of the recital in an actual divination context – recital of questioning, of practitioner’s interpreting, and of questioner’s responding. The dialogue and interaction between the practitioner and the questioner in the three stages are more complicated than the general author – text – reader relationship in hermeneutics. Therefore, in divination, Ricœur's theory of mimesis does not develop orderly but overlaps mutually during the recital and dialogue between the questioner and the practitioner. Moreover, while the questioner is in the dynamic cycle of distanciation and appropriation of hermeneutic situation, the text and the questioner’s recital and interpretation constantly mingle and confront; the self of the questioner would be magnified and unfolded. In the end, it leads the questioner to find a more concordant and integrate meaning of the event and to rebuild the self-identity by self-recital. It is also the inner experience of the questioner through the application of Ricœur’s theory in the divination context. (Chapter Four)
Divination text is the instant oral text created in the divination context. Though its recital and interpretation do not exactly correspond to Ricœur's theory, the questioner, as a reader, interprets the divination text, and leads to the perception and reorganization of self. From this perspective, Tarot reading indeed guides the questioner to actively interpret the text. Despite the limited cases and the lack of discussion for the practitioner’s influence on the interpretation in the study, on the whole, the study shows the use of divination to predict future and the possibility for the questioner to reorganize the self-identity. It provides a new vision for the study of divination and more potential in development. (Chapter Five)

According to the thermograms of DSC, gelatinization temperature(To, Tp, Tc) of taro starch increased with the increase of sodium chloride and sucrose concentrations (p<0.05), but no significant difference (p>0.05) was found in To and Tp when soybean oil was added into taro starch. No significant difference (p>0.05) was found in gelatinization enthalpy among taro starch with low concentration of sucrose (5-20%) but significantly increased (p<0.05) in high concentration of sucrose (40%) and sodium chloride (5%). In presence of sucrose solution (5-10%), retrogradation of taro starch was retarded in the initial period (0-1 day). However, a high sucrose concentration (20-40%) of taro starch appeared to increase retrogradation enthalpy. In the effect of sodium chloride on retrogradation enthalpy, it is interesting that 6% soybean oil retarded the increases of retrogradation enthalpy in the period of 7 days storage. The higher sodium chloride addition on taro starch showed higher retrogradation enthalpy.
The SEM results showed that the development of microstructure of taro gel become denser in the initial 12 hours after gelling. However, taro starch gel with sucrose and sodium chloride addition retarded the development of amylose
network. According to the resultsof texture profile analysis and rheological analysis, the firmness and storage modulus (G'') of taro starch gel increased rapidly at the early stage (0-2 days), then slowly increased at later stage (7-28 days). The increase of firmness of taro starch gel was contributed mainly from the formation of amylose network. A minor contribution of firmness came from the crystallization of starch during storage. The addition of sucrose and sodium chloride limited the increase of firmness and G''-value of taro starch gel during 28 days storage. The degree of retrogradation of taro starch gel was increased when sucrose or sodium chloride were added during 28 days storage.

Full textAbstract:
Submitted in fulfilment of the academic requirement for the Degree of Masters in Food Science and Technology, Durban University of Technology, 2017.<br>Amadumbe (Colocasia Esculenta) commonly known as Taro is an underutilized tuber crop that produces underground corms. It is a promising tropical tuber grown in various parts of the world including South Africa, where it is regarded as a traditional food. It is a significant subsistence crop, mostly cultivated in rural areas and by small scale farmers. Amadumbe is adapted to growing in warm and moist conditions. The tubers are characterised by a high moisture content and consequently high post-harvest losses. The losses can be minimized through the utilization of various preservation techniques such as flour and starch production. Amadumbe corms may contain up to 70-80% starch. The starch granules are characterised by a small size and relatively low amylose content. The combination of high starch content, low amylose and small starch granules thus make amadumbe a potentially good candidate for nanocrystal production.
In this study two amadumbe varieties were utilized to extract starch. Amadumbe starch nanocrystals (SNC) were produced using an optimized hydrolysis method. The physicochemical properties (morphology, crystallinity, thermal properties) of the resulting SNC were investigated. The SNC were then applied as fillers in three different matrices namely, amadumbe starch, potato starch and soy protein. The influence of the SNC at varying concentrations (2.5, 5 and 10%) on the physicochemical properties of bio-composite films was examined.
Amadumbe starch produced a substantially high yield (25%) of SNCs. The nanocrystals appeared as aggregated as well as individual particles. The individual nanocrystals exhibited a square-like platelet morphology with sizes ranging from 50-100 nm. FTIR revealed high peak intensities corresponding to O-H stretch, C-H stretch and H2O bending vibrations for SNCs compared to their native starch counterparts. Both the native starch and SNC exhibited the A–type crystalline pattern. However, amadumbe SNCs showed a higher degree of crystallinity possibly due to the removal of the armorphous material during acid hydrolysis to produce SNCs. Amadumbe SNC showed slightly reduced melting temperatures compared to their native starches. The SNC presented similar thermal decomposition properties as compared to their native starches.
In general, the inclusion of SNCs significantly decreased water vapour permeability (WVP) of composite films whilst thermal stability and tensile strength were increased. The degree of improvement in the physicochemical properties of the films varied with the type of matrix as well as the concentration of the nanocrystals. It generally seemed that the enhancement of the physicochemical properties of starch matrices occurred at a lower SNC concentration in comparison to that of soy protein films. Amadumbe SNC can indeed potentially be used as a filler to improve the properties of biodegradable starch and protein films<br>M

Full textAbstract:
Despite the importance of taro (Colocasia esculenta L. Schott) as a food security crop, scientific research on it is scanty in South Africa. Production site, planting date and fertiliser regime affect crop performance and quality, particularly that of cultivars, because they tend to be adapted to specific localities. Storage temperature and packaging method on the other hand affect the shelf-life. To investigate performance and quality of three taro cultivars in response to planting date and fertilisation, a study was carried out at two sites in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa (Ukulinga and Umbumbulu), during the 2007/2008 growing seasons. The effect of two storage temperatures (12oC and ambient temperature) and three packaging methods (polyethylene bags, mesh bags and open boxes) on cormel quality following storage was also investigated for three cultivars. Delayed planting negatively affected the number of cormels plant-1 and fresh cormel mass plant-1. Fertilisation and cultivar affected the number of cormels plant-1 and fresh cormel mass plant-1 only when planting was done in October and November at both sites. Fertilisation increased the number of cormels plant-1 for all cultivars except Dumbe-dumbe. Dumbe-dumbe had the lowest number of cormels plant-1 but the highest number of marketable cormels plant-1. Dumbe-dumbe showed the lowest fresh cormel mass plant-1 in October and the highest in November at Ukulinga. Fertisation increased fresh cormel mass plant-1 in October at Umbumbulu. Dry matter content was negatively affected by fertilisation at Ukulinga. The response of dry matter content, specific gravity, protein, minerals, reducing sugars and starch content was variable depending on cultivar. Delayed planting negatively affected starch content for Dumbe-dumbe and Pitshi at Ukulinga. Fertilisation decreased starch content of Pitshi, while delayed planting increased sugar content for Dumbe-dumbe and decreased it for Mgingqeni and Pitshi at Umbumbulu. Dumbe-dumbe had higher starch content and higher reducing sugars. Considering all growth and quality parameters, it is recommended that Dumbe-dumbe is the best taro cultivar for crisping and the best time to plant it is October with 160 kg N ha-1 of organic fertiliser and November with 320 kg N ha-1 at Ukulinga whereas at Umbumbulu the best time to plant Dumbe-dumbe is October with 320 kg N ha-1 of the fertiliser. Starch granules degradation, alpha-amylase activity and sprouting increased with storage time and storage temperature. Cormels of Mgingqeni stored in polyethylene bags showed highest alpha-amylase activity and sprouting. Reducing sugar content increased and starch content decreased with time in storage and decline in storage temperature. It is recommended that taro cormels be stored in mesh bags at 12oC. The chapters of this thesis represent different studies presented as different papers. Chapter 1 is a general introduction to explain the study background and hypothesis. Chapter 2 is a general review of literature. Chapter 3 is on growth, development and yield of taro in response to planting date and fertilisation. Chapter 4 is on the influence of planting date and organic fertiliser on crisping quality of taro cormels. Chapter 5 is on changes in the surface morphology of starch granules and alpha-amylase activity of taro during storage. Chapter 6 is on the effects of pre- and post-harvest practices on starch and reducing sugars of taro.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse introduit l'étude du tarot en sciences des religions. Son enjeu est de reconsidérer le statut du tarot en proposant un autre modèle d'analyse qui le présente sous un jour nouveau et différent de celui sous lequel il apparaît comme jeu de cartes ou objet divinatoire. Dans la perspective d'une réflexion philosophique s'appuyant sur les travaux de Gilles Deleuze et Félix Guattari, son projet est de radicaliser l'attention autour du problème suivant: le tarot rencontre ce qui force à penser. Ce problème revient à poser la question suivante: à quelle condition peut-on entrer en rapport avec un élément inconnu qu'on ne sait pas penser? Cette question, qui a son importance en sciences religions, est relancée dans ces pages par la remise en cause des interprétations courantes du tarot comme jeu ou comme outil divinatoire. Plus particulièrement, l'inventio du tarot occulte va permettre de comprendre le façonnage du modèle d'analyse le plus répandu aujourd'hui:
« tarot = symbole ». Entre 1781 et 1909, les théories occultistes vont sceller l'alliance du tarot et du symbole, si bien qu'il est devenu aujourd'hui quasi impossible d'entrevoir le tarot autrement. Contrairement aux analyses cliniques qui reposent sur le symbole, cette thèse avance un modèle critique qui tient compte de l'existence de figures dans le tarot. La notion de figure conduit directement à rompre avec le règne sans partage de l'interprétation et de la représentation dans le tarot, règne facilité par le fait que la place centrale qu'y occupent les symboles n'y a jusqu'ici jamais été questionnée. La distance prise dans ces pages avec les façons traditionnelles d'envisager le tarot mène à un modèle d'analyse qui a plusieurs conséquences: il dégage un nouveau tracé d'intelligibilité du tarot qui renvoie aux limites de la représentation et plus directement aux limites de l'interprétation du religieux à partir d'images et des symboles; il relance le problème du savoir en sciences des religions et de là, celui de l'interprétation et de la signification; il remet en question la nécessité de la transcendance dans l'interprétation du religieux; il soulève le problème de la croyance; il touche au problème du sens; et enfin, il ouvre sur la pensée. Deux cas de figure montrent ensuite comment le tarot a pu, dans cette thèse, être pensé autrement. Le premier a pour cadre des meurtres en série au cours desquels une carte de tarot fut utilisée en 2002 par des tireurs embusqués. Le second se situe au début des années 1950, au moment où John Cage (1912-1992) crée, à l'aide du tarot, sa pièce la plus célèbre, 4'33". ______________________________________________________________________________ MOTS-CLÉS DE L’AUTEUR : Tarot, Symbole, Figure, Pensée, Non-savoir, Sens, Signification, Image, Représentation, Occulte, Occultisme, Ésotérisme, Cartes, Croyance, Religieux, Transcendance, Immanence, Meurtres en série, John Cage, 4'33".

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>設計研究所<br>98<br>In this study I use the tarot as the subject of my research aiming to understand the model of how people interpret the symbolic images appeared on the tarot and the communication efficiency of those images. My main goal is to investigate how the symbolic images from works communicate their meanings, to analyze the interpretation direction of the observers, and to study the interactive relationship between symbols and iconology research methods. The research is conducted through collecting the tarot, the iconology, and the psychology theory literature applied in iconology; then with the tarot that are full of symbolic meanings as a tool for the experiment, the experimental samples and the survey questionnaire are produced according to the analysis of targeted literature and sample investigation. With the completed results, I present further integral analysis of the observers’ reactions towards understanding the meanings of the symbolic images. Besides the aim of understanding the possible influence of the artistic style on the communication effectiveness, the main purpose of this experimental analysis is to observe the participants’ reactions towards symbols.
The principal purposes of the research are:
(1) To understand the effect and interpretation of the symbolic concept in iconology;
(2) To explore the performance efficiency of the symbols applied on the tarot;
(3) To research the interpretation applied model of the symbolic images;
(4) For future use, to compile the above information and with the composite survey results to create the basis for designs applying symbolic images.
After conducting surveys on the tarot being sold in the market and investigating the interpretations of the tarot symbolic images, I summarize the findings as follows:
(1) The design style, gender, and the participants with a background of either art or design had little effect on the visual level identification of the symbolic images.
(2) Identifying the abstract level, the participants with knowledge of the tarot found it more concrete.
(3) The participants with the knowledge level of “understanding” of the tarot felt its symbolic meanings were more concrete. The participants with the knowledge level of “proficiency” and “understanding” felt it was easier to explain the symbolic images.
(4) Male participants had higher accuracy rate in interpreting the symbolic images than female
participants.
(5) The participants with a background of art or design had a higher accuracy rate in interpreting the symbolic images.
(6) Whether or not the participants knew about the tarot and their knowledge levels of the tarot did not affect the accuracy of their symbolic image interpretations.
(7) The decorative symbolic images are not necessarily difficult to interpret. The accuracy rate of interpreting the symbolic images with far-reaching implications is not necessarily high.
Further investigation and testing of the interpretations of the symbolic images on specifically the internationally most utilized Universal Waite Tarot (hereinafter referred to as Waite Tarot), my research found the following:
(1) Whether or not a symbolic image design is complex had little effect on the visual level identification of Waite Tarot.
(2) Gender and the knowledge level of the tarot did not affect the identification level of the Waite Tarot symbolic images.
(3) The participants with art or design background felt a higher degree of intensity towards Waite Tarot symbolic images.
(4) The participants with knowledge of the tarot felt Waite Tarot was more concrete, while the participants with no knowledge of the tarot felt it was more abstract.
(5) Gender, whether the participants had art and design background or knew about the tarot, and the level of knowledge on the tarot did not affect the accuracy rate of interpreting the symbolic images of Waite Tarot.
(6) Interpreting the more complex symbolic image designs would certainly be more difficult.

碩士<br>國立清華大學<br>人類學研究所<br>91<br>Abstract
The major goal of this research is to deliberate the analogies in Archaeology, especially on the studies of aboriginal abandonment settlements. A fundamental problem is that archaeologists paid more attention to the mapping and description of the artifacts but lack of “behavior”. In order to provide better analogies to assist in the interpretation of archaeological records, I chose the domestic houses for my study object, and used ethnoarchaeological method to collect the behavioral models from the descendants of aborigine who occupied the same place before.
The Skadang tribe locates in the valley, which is near the skadang branch of Li-Wu River in the east of Taiwan. Aboriginal people still cultivated the land here in tradition way in these years. By joining in their usual work and activities, I stayed on Skadang tribe more than six months to record their household activities, and then took the survey around the tribe and excavated five test pits. With the behavioral parallels, the site structure analysis of the survey data indicates that there were three stages of occupation in the past. From my case study, not only it offers the interpretation that combines “behavior” and “artifacts”, but also reminders us the limits of the continuous analogy in Archaeology.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>靜宜大學<br>食品營養學系<br>87<br>The properties of this study were to investigate nine different sugars on retrogradation of taro starch and on stability of taro starch gel. Several techniques, included differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) , scanning electron microscope (SEM), texture analyzer, and dynamic rheometer, were applied in this study .
The results showed that the gelatinized temperature (To, Tp, Tc) of the taro starch were increased with addition of sugars. Moreover, gelatinization temperature increased with the increase of sugar concentration. Ribose added gel was found to decrease retrogradation enthalpy. In presence of sucrose and maltose (5%∼10%), retrogradation was retarded in the initial period (1 day).All sugars-added gels increased retrogradation enthalpy of taro starch except 5∼10% sucrose and maltose at early stage (0∼1day). Maltodextrin-added gel increased retrogradation enthalpy significantly during 28 days storage.
The water activity of taro starch gel with sugars (xylose, glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, maltose or maltodextrin) were decreased comparing with control gel. Water activity of taro starch gel decreased with the increases of sugars concentration. The SEM results showed that the development of microstructure of taro starch gel become denser in the initial 12 hours after gelling. However, taro starch gel with sugars addition retarded the development of amylose network during storage. The development of network of taro starch gel slowered with increases of sugars concentration. However, the addition of maltodextrin resulted in the rapider development of network than mono- and disaccharide starch gel.
The results showed that the firmness of taro starch gel were decreased when high concentration solution(40%) of xylose, glucose, galactose, sucrose or maltose were added into gel. In presence of sucrose (5%), the firmness decreased of taro starch gel. However, maltodextrin-added(0∼20%) increased the firmness of gel during 28 days storage.
In the system of 10% taro starch gel( taro starch :solution = 1 : 9), the rheological properties including storage that the storage modulus (G’) and loss modulus (G”) of taro starch gel were increased but tanδ was decreased from to 28 days. The results showed that the storage modulus (G’) of taro starch gel with sugars addition were lower than control gel, except maltoextrin, during storage .
The addition of xylose, glucose, fructose, galactose, sucrose, maltose, and maltodextrin in taro starch gel increased degree of retrogradation with the extent of starage time. Higher sugars concentration addition resulted in the higher degree of retrogradation in taro starch gel.

碩士<br>國立中興大學<br>食品暨應用生物科技學系所<br>104<br>Taro, due to its special flavor, is a popular vegetable in Taiwan. Moreover, taro is often processed into various products for meeting the requirements of consumers. However, commercially taro soft ice cream is often adulterated with artificial pigments and flavors to reduce the cost, therefore is unable to utilize the local agricultural product adequately. In this study, we use steamed Taiwan local betelnut taro as main material to develop a taro soft ice cream recipe. Nevertheless, the soft ice cream material with 45% taro with very high viscosity was beyond the limit of operation. Recipe with additional 14% fructose syrup received the highest score 6.50 in the nine-point scale from consumer acceptance test. Furthermore, the sensory evaluation by the paired directional comparison method revealed the recipe that replace water with whole milk is more smooth on mouth feeling. It was concluded the recipe with 40% steamed betelunt taro, 14% fructose and 46% whole milk is the most recommended soft ice cream recipe with the highest amount of taro. The consumer acceptance test results showed that the taro soft ice cream developed in the current study was comprehensively superior to the commercial counterpart on color, taste, sweetness, taro flavor and overall liking scores. The test of directional paired comparison method also displayed statistically significant difference. Besides, the developed taro soft ice cream is more resistant to melting than commercial correspondent. In summary, the taro soft ice cream developed in this study shows desirable marketing potential and may be expected to increase the added-values of local agricultural products.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>中山醫學大學<br>健康餐飲暨產業管理學系碩士班<br>104<br>Taro (Colocasia esculenta) is the plant of Araceae .The production season of taro is from September to next January in Taiwan. Consumer mostly preferred betelnut taro because of its aroma. There is higher starch content in taro, so it is suitable as a source of materials to make wine. However, most of taro products are distilled spirits. In this study, we wanted to develop the taro wine which is sweet and lower alcohol content. The investigation was divided two major parts. (1) Sucrose solution with or without pandan leaves (Pandanus amaryllifolius Roxb.) extract was added into cooked taro paste, and these samples were fermented at different temperatures for 14 days. Before aging, 0%, 10% and 20% sucrose solutions were added into the fermented wines to aging for 2 months, respectively. The changes in characteristics of taro wine will be determined during fermentation and aging. After aging, analysis the content of total polyphenols, total flavonoids and total anthocyanins, and chose some group of taro wine to sensory evaluation. Investigated the effect of fermentation and aging conditions on the quality of taro wine. (2) Three method to make taro gelatinized: wok cooking method, steamer and steam-jacketed kettle method and added sucrose and steamer method were investigated to find a suitable method for Da-Ann Peasant Association. According to the results, total soluble solid and total sucrose content and pH value decreased during fermentation. Conversely, the content of alcohol and total acid increased during fermentation. It might be the yeast metabolized alcohol and organic acid. The content of volatile acid increased during fermentation, but the content was under the regular limit. The color of taro wine is light purple. During aging, yeasts continuously metabolized the added sucrose, and all of the measured values were almost the same as the fermented wine before aging. The L value and a value decreased and the b value increased after suspension of the taro wine deposited. The color of taro wine was still in light purple. Both the amount of total polyphenols and total flavonoids was very low, however the amount of total anthocyanins increased by added sucrose in taro wine after aging. The group of S 15+20% sucrose, S 25+20% sucrose, S7 15+20% sucrose and S7 25+10% were measured by sensory test. In sensory test result, consumers preferred the aroma, taste and acceptability of S 25+20%S and S7 15+20%S. In the mass production taro wine, the best method is added sucrose and steamer method by compared time cost, manpower cost and efficiency.
