Die Welt der Sprache bei Herta Muller

( Chieh Chien ) 한국독어독문학회 2013 獨逸文學 Vol.128 No.-

Herta Muller verlisst sieh nieht auf die Spraehe. Dennoeh k.mn sic aueh niehl auf die Sprnehe verziehlen. In Wahrhdt ist sic suehtig nach der Sprnche. Threr Ansicht nach bekundet die Sprache zwei Wirklichkeiten: I. In diversen Spmch- und Kultuniiumen zeigen sich diverse Bilder und Wahmchmungcn; 2. Die politisierte bzw. verordnete Spraehe vemlag nieht nur die Humanitat zu entwlirdigen, sondem auch die Menschlichkeit zu vcrderben. Nach tiefgriindiger Auscinandersetzung mil beiden Wirklichkciten, \velche zu weiteren Erkenntnissen gefuhrt hat, entwickelt Herta Muller eine ihr eigene Art und Weise, Wahmehmungen zu erlinden. Die Besonderheit des Mullerschen Sprachstils lindel sieh insbesondere in ihren aus Papierfctzcn crstandcnen Collagcngedichten, in dcncn Texle und Bilder auf cine kontrnStive Weise einander ergjinzen. Es enlstcht nicht nur ein Bild-Text-Dialog, sondem die Iyrisehen Worlleile beziehen sich gewisserweise nuch inlerlexlucll auf ihre Herkunftstexte. DarUber hinaus bestehen zwischen Herta MUliers Gediehten, Romanen und Essays in vieler Hinsicht auch intertextuelle Zusammenhange. DiesbezUglich spiden die sieh in den genannlen Genres Uberlagemden Motive eine wcsentliche Rolle. Die Umersuchung geht zuerst auf die Mullersche Sprachaulfasslmg ein. Als Sehwerpwlkte stehen dann die Sinnzusammcnhange zwischcn Bild und Text in der Lyrik Herta Muliers sowie die Imertextualitlit ihrer Iiterarisehen Motive zur Debatte. Daraus lassen sieh als Letztcs die bahnbrochenden Zuge cler Spmche Herta MUliers ersehlielBen.

Toward an understanding of high school in‑service English teachers’ identities in their professional development

Shih‑Chieh Chien 서울대학교 교육연구소 2019 Asia Pacific Education Review Vol.20 No.3

Teacher identity has increasingly become a major educational research area. Nevertheless, high school in-service English teachers’ identity changes, as facilitated by their further studies in the pursuit of professional development are less explored. This study begins to fill this gap by examining their identities as to how they strike a balance as a teacher and a student concurrently. Based on interviews with 11 teachers at a high school in Taiwan, both positive and negative changes were reported by the teachers, despite wide-ranging foci. Their productive and additive identity changes were primarily related to their sense of competence and fulfillment in terms of enhancing professional knowledge, increasing research capacities, and broadening horizons, whereas subtractive and split changes were mainly related to disciplinary differences. It can be concluded that teachers’ identities are constructed and reconstructed as they seek to negotiate between their own beliefs and the natures of different disciplines. Implications of this study are discussed.

Osteoporosis and its associated fragility fractures are becoming a severe burden in the healthcare system globally. In the Asian-Pacific (AP) region, the rapidly increasing in aging population is the main reason accounting for the burden. Moreover, the paucity of quality care for osteoporosis continues to be an ongoing challenge. The Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) is a program promoted by International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) with a goal to improve quality of postfracture care and prevention of secondary fractures. In this review article, we would like to introduce the Taiwan FLS network. The first 2 programs were initiated in 2014 at the National Taiwan University Hospital and its affiliated Bei-Hu branch. Since then, the Taiwan FLS program has continued to grow exponentially. Through FLS workshops promoted by the Taiwanese Osteoporosis Association (TOA), program mentors have been able to share their valuable knowledge and clinical experience in order to promote establishments of additional programs. With 22 FLS sites including 11 successfully accredited on the best practice map, Taiwan remains as one of the highest FLS coverage countries in the AP region, and was also granted the IOF Best Secondary Fracture Prevention Promotion award in 2017. Despite challenges faced by the TOA, we strive to promote more FLS sites in Taiwan with a main goal of ameliorating further health burden in managing osteoporotic patients.

Effects of Wedge Visual Support on User Metacognitive Strategy and Wayfinding Behavior within a Virtual Environment

( Chien Hsiung Chen ),( Shih Chieh Chen ),( Yu Chang Huang ) 한국감성과학회 2014 춘계학술대회 Vol.2014 No.-

The purpose of this study is to investigate 2D wedge visual support design used in a 3D virtual environment pertinent to user wayfinding behavior. The independent variables adopted for the experiment are interaction mode (i.e., touch sensitive vs. body movement), viewing perspective (the first-person vs. the third-person), and gender (male vs. female). A total of 56 participants (28 males and 28 females) were recruited to take part in the wayfinding task experiment by convenient sampling method. The results generated from the experiment revealed that: (1) The participant who conducted touch sensitive interaction mode performed better than those who used body movement interaction mode due to better interaction flow. (2) The participant who adopted the third-person perspective performed better than those who adopted the first-person perspective. (3) The gender effect indicated that males performed better than females under the perceptual information followed by abstract information (P-A) type of task. It is concluded that within a 3D virtual environment, users who adopt touch sensitive mode with the third-person perspective can perform better wayfinding behavior.

Effects of Antipsychotics on Bone Mineral Density in Patients with Schizophrenia: Gender Differences

Chien-Yu Chen,Hsien-Yuan Lane,Chieh-Hsin Lin 대한정신약물학회 2016 CLINICAL PSYCHOPHARMACOLOGY AND NEUROSCIENCE Vol.14 No.3

Low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis are common in patients with schizophrenia and detrimental to illness prognosis and life quality. Although the pathogenesis is not fully clear, series of studies have revealed factors related to low BMD such as life style, psychotic symptoms, medication use and the activity of bone absorption markers. It has been known that antipsychotic- induced hyperprolactinemia plays a critical role on decreased BMD. However, it remains uncertain whether the risk factors differ between men and women. According to the effect on prolactin, antipsychotics can be classified into two groups: prolactin-sparing (PS) and prolactin-raising (PR). Our previous study has demonstrated that clozapine which is among the PS antipsychotics is beneficial for BMD when compared with PR antipsychotics in women with chronic schizophrenia. We have also found that risks factors associated with low BMD are different between men and women, suggesting that gender-specific risk factors should be considered for intervention of bone loss in patients with schizophrenia. This article reviews the effects of antipsychotics use on BMD with particular discussion for the differences on gender and age, which implicate the alterations of sex and other related hormones. In addition, currently reported protective and risk factors, as well as the effects of medication use on BMD including the combination of antipsychotics and other psychotropic agents and other potential medications are also reviewed.

Development and testing of cored moment resisting stub column dampers

Po-Chien Hsiao,Kun-Sian Lin,Wei-Chieh Lia,Limeng Zhu,Chunwei Zhang 국제구조공학회 2020 Steel and Composite Structures, An International J Vol.34 No.1

Moment resisting stub columns (MRSCs) have increasingly adopted in special moment-resisting frame (SMF) systems in steel building structures, especially in Asian countries. The MRSCs typically provide a lower deformation capacity compared to shear-panel stub columns, a limited post-yield stiffness, and severe strength degradation as adopting slender webs. A new MRSC design with cored configuration, consisting of a core-segment and two side-segments using different steel grades, has been proposed in the study to improve the demerits mentioned above. Several full-scale components of the cored MRSC were experimentally investigated focusing on the hysteretic performance of plastic hinges at the ends. The effects of the depths of the core-segment and the adopted reduced column section details on the hysteretic behavior of the components were examined. The measured hysteretic responses verified that the cored MRSC enabled to provide early yielding, great ductility and energy dissipation, enhanced post-yield stiffness and limited strength degradation due to local buckling of flanges. A parametric study upon the dimensions of the cored MRSC was then conducted using numerical discrete model validated by the measured responses. Finally, a set of model equations were established based on the results of the parametric analysis to accurately estimate strength backbone curves of the cored MRSCs under increasing-amplitude cyclic loadings.

A study of flow patterns for staggered cylinders at low Reynolds number by spectral element method

Li-Chieh Hsu,Chien-Lin Chen,Jian-Zhi Ye 대한기계학회 2017 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.31 No.6

This study investigates the pattern of flow past two staggered array cylinders using the spectral element method by varying the distancebetween the cylinders and the angle of incidence (α) at low Reynolds numbers (Re = 100-800). Six flow patterns are identified as Shearlayer reattachment (SLR), Induced separation (IS), Vortex impingement (VI), Synchronized vortex shedding (SVS), Vortex pairing andenveloping (VPE), and Vortex pairing splitting and enveloping (VPSE). These flow patterns can be transformed from one to another bychanging the distance between the cylinders, the angle of incidence, or Re. SLR, IS and VI flow patterns appear in regimes with smallangles of incidence (i.e., α ≤ 30° ) and hold only a single von Karman vortex shedding in a wake with one shedding frequency. SVS,VPE and VPSE flow patterns appear in regimes with large angles of incidence (i.e., 30° ≤ α ≤ 50° ) and present two synchronized vonKarman vortices. Quantitative analyses and physical interpretation are also conducted to determine the generation mechanisms of the saidflow patterns.
