The changing dynamics of policy experiment in Singapore does the 2011 general election make a difference

Celia Lee 서울대학교행정대학원 2017 Asian Journal of Political Science Vol.25 No.3

The city-state of Singapore is proactive in harnessing policy experimentation to incubate innovations, transfer knowledge and facilitate collaborations across different public sectors. Given the country’s strong knack for pragmatism, international practices and lessons are usually first tested and adapted in policy experiments before scaling up to nationwide policies. Singapore’s practice of policy experimentation, however, has also demonstrated evolution over time. This article reviews the evolving role of experimentation in Singapore’s policy decision-making and implementation, and analyses pilot programmes in public housing to elicit the key attributes and commonalities of its policy experiments. It finds that policy experiments have been increasingly used after the 2011 general election, which witnessed a radical political rebalancing in Singapore’s governance history. Pilot projects have thus transformed from a utilitarian to citizencentric, design-thinking approach after 2011. Pilot programmes are used for multiple purposes in policy innovations, among which civil service mentoring, knowledge transfer and crossboundary collaboration are the values primarily pursued. The article discusses the contributions of the findings to the literature and policy implications for practitioners.

Shadowing, expansiveness and stability of divergence-free vector fields

Celia Ferreira 대한수학회 2014 대한수학회보 Vol.51 No.1

Let X be a divergence-free vector field defined on a closed, connected Riemannian manifold. In this paper, we show the equivalence between the following conditions: • X is a divergence-free vector field satisfying the shadowing property. • X is a divergence-free vector field satisfying the Lipschitz shadowing property. • X is an expansive divergence-free vector field. • X has no singularities and is Anosov.

Coercivity Dependence on Periodicity of Co and Py Antidot Arrays

An experimental study on the control of thin films magnetic coercivity through the change in geometry of antidot arrays has been performed on two different materials: cobalt and permalloy. Antidot arrays have been fabricated using a Focused Ion Beam, and magnetic hysteresis loops have been measured using Kerr effect microscopy. The coercivity dependence on the material and the array periodicity have been studied. A novel method to estimate the antidot diameter from MOKE data is presented. Results suggest a widening of the antidot effective diameter compared to the one measured from SEM images. This could be attributed to a damage of the magnetic material around the holes during the fabrication process, which leads to amorphization and concomitant reduction of the surrounding film magnetization.

Corps, érotisme et mythe dans la peinture: le cas de Tilsa Tsuchiya

Celia Rubina Vargas 고려대학교 응용문화연구소 2011 에피스테메 Vol.0 No.6

Peruvian painter Tilsa Tsuchiya (1929 - 1984), was consistently developing an organic painting style and while many contemporary Peruvian artists followed an abstract art-form, Tsuchiya did not fit into that trend. Although some art critics speak of surrealism in reference to her paintings, while others have been tempted to find a more native inspiration, Tsuchiya refused to be framed within one form or the other. Being convinced of the long process of finding a language within painting, she tried to follow her own path which was influenced by Eastern philosophies by producing a more metaphysical painting, in which one can observe a mystical spirit. However, it is neither Orientalism nor the possible foreign influences over locals in the painting. Rather, it is the representation of the body and eroticism, which is what was of primary interest. By plastic semiotics and semiotics of the body, this paper tries to answer such questions as how the physical dimension in the visual object works and what the links exist between eroticism and the mythical mean.

The Benefits and Challenges of Interprofessional Education Assessment for Health Care Professionals

Celia Ia Choo Tan,Bo Jiang 연세대학교 의과대학 2017 의학교육논단 Vol.19 No.3

Interprofessional education (IPE) fosters effective team-based collaborative practice among members of different health care professions to advance high-quality and safe patient care. Although the importance of IPE has been recognized and IPE initiatives have expanded rapidly in the past decades, substantial difficulties in IPE assessment still exist. At present, a lack of consensus on the optimal approach to IPE assessment contributes to uncertainty about the level of attainment of collaborative team performance. This paper aims to provide an overview of the benefits and current challenges associated with IPE assessment. Furthermore, a multifactor model with an assessment matrix and assessment blueprints from a recent study is briefly discussed. We also provide examples of assessment blueprints for the team management of stroke patient discharge covering a competency examination at the levels of individuals, the team, and the task.

Numerical model of a planar jet wiping system for continuous strip lines

Celia Miguel-González,Manuel García-Díaz,Bruno Pereiras,Miguel Vigil,Alejandro Rodríguez de Castro 대한기계학회 2021 JOURNAL OF MECHANICAL SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Vol.35 No.7

The present study focuses on the numerical modelling of gas-jet wiping process. Many processes involving liquids are necessary during steel manufacturing, such as cooling, lubrication or cleaning. Satisfactory processes for removing the liquid are critical for the quality of the product obtained as well as for avoiding a product rejection in strip lines such as tandem mills and tinning lines. One the most widespread drying technology used is based on planar air-knives or nozzle rows which wipe the liquid out from the steel strip by creating an aerodynamic barrier. The objective of this paper is to analyze the performance of a simple air knife based on an inclined planar jet that is commonly used in many commercial or in-house built devices. A CFD model developed by using commercial software ANSYS FLUENT® was built in order to evaluate the wiping system depending on the type of feeding: central and lateral.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the difference of two laryngeal closure transition measures: initiation of laryngeal closure (ILC) and laryngeal closure duration (LCD) among stroke survivors, head and neck cancer survivors, and healthy age-matched controls. Methods: ILC and LCD were determined by analyzing two 5ml thin liquid swallows exhibited by each of the 15 stroke survivors, 15 head and neck cancer survivors, and 15 healthy controls from the videofluoroscopic swallowing examinations (VFSEs). Statistical analyses were made using one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) using the three groups as independent variables with the statistical level set at p<0.05. Results: ILC was longer in stroke survivors compared to head and neck survivors and healthy controls; however, these results were only significant compared to controls. Head and neck cancer survivors exhibited significantly longer LCD when compared to healthy controls, but not to stroke survivors. Conclusions: Differential diagnosis based on swallowing pathophysiology is critical to manage and treat dysphagia in these populations.

Green marketing of apparel: consumers’ price sensitivity to environmental marketing claims

Celia Stall-Meadows,Anne Davey 한국마케팅과학회 2013 Journal of Global Fashion Marketing Vol.4 No.1

Green or environmentalmarketing claims have increased in recent years because of potentiallyhigher profits for companies. The aimof this study was to identify the environmentalmarketing claims forwhich consumers arewilling to pay higher prices. The specific claimsinvestigated in this study were: using organic fibers or recycled textile fibers; sustainablemanufacturing; companies donating to green organizations; and using fair trade and laborpractices. A quantitative survey of college students in the Midwestern US revealed that acompany’s environmental marketing claims – particularly with regard to manufacturingwith organic fibers and donating to green organizations – resulted in decreased consumerprice sensitivity. The theory of reasoned action served as the framework for the study. Implications, limitations, and suggestions for further research are presented.

Exploring sonority embedded in cultural heritage: Path, transit and listen through the Silver Route (Way of St James, NW Spain)

Mª Celia Adrián Rodríguez,Elena De Uña-Álvarez 국립민속박물관 2022 International Journal of Intangible Heritage Vol.17 No.-

Environmental sonority, related to viewing, listening and walking along a path, has only seldom been contemplated in the first European Cultural Route, the Way of St James (Camino de Santiago). The research, focused on a section of the Silver Route (Vía de la Plata) variant (Galicia, north-west Iberian Peninsula), defines several sound environments configured by the sound sources, acoustic properties and the culture of the territory. Integrating the environmental sonority in a musical piece facilitates the promotion of knowledge and awareness of the sound heritage, together with an implied appreciation for it. The audible spectrum, provided with emotional and evocative power, has an important role in defining cultural heritage from the present to the future. Furthermore, it is particularly relevant in confinement situations as the one experienced in Europe in the year 2020.

중국의 섭외(涉外)OEM의 상표권리 침해 인정

리야리 ( Celia Y. Li ),다이궈쳔 ( Kim G. Dai ) 한국지식재산연구원 2014 지식재산연구 Vol.9 No.3

개혁개방이래로 중국 특히 광동성 및 절강성 일대의 OEM무역거래의 급속한 발전은 중국 수출무역의 성장에 큰 공헌을 하였다. 그러나 최근 10년 동안 수출을 목적으로 하는 OEM제품에 국내 상표전용권자의 상표를 무단으로 사용하는 행위가 상표권 침해에 해당하는 지에 대한 쟁론이 끊이지 않고 있으며, 이 문제에 대해 학계와 실무분야를 막론하고 여전히 정론이 없는 상태이다. 이러한 현상은 법률규정의 결함을 구체적으로 보여 줄 뿐만 아니라, 국외 위탁기업과 국내 OEM 생산기업이 무엇을 어떻게 해야 할 지 모르는 상황에 처하게 하였다. 본 논문은 실증연구의 방법을 채택하여, 이 문제에 대해 중국 내 사법과 법 집행 중에 나타나는 태도의 차이 및 관련 법률규정을 결합하여 설명하였다. 우선 각 계의 관점을 종합하여 차이가 발생하는 원인에 대해서 서술하였는데, 이는 중국 내부에 OEM 생산의 개념에 대한 권위적인 정의가 확정되어 있지 않고, 또 섭외OEM의 권리침해를 인정하는 기준이 명확하지 않기 때문이다. 또 다른 한편으로는 섭외OEM과 관련되는 상표권리 논쟁의 초점 문제에 관하여 분석을 진행하였으며, 여기서는 중국 법률 조항에서의 “상표 사용”에 대한 정의 그리고 “혼동 이론”의 적용에 대하여 집중적으로 설명하였다. 마지막으로 본 논문은 사법실천에 있어 여전히 통일성이 없는 현실과 앞에서 상술한 분석들에 근거하여, 국외 위탁자와 국내 생산자에게 OEM방식의 무역을 진행 할 경우, 타인의 상표권리를 침해하는 위험을 줄이고 또 이를 피하기 위해 어떠한 효과적인 조치를 취할 수 있을지에 관한 현실적인 법률 제의를 하고자 한다. Original equipment manufacturer (hereinafter refer to as “OEM”) is developing rapidly in China, especially the coastal regions. However, within the recent decade, there are many debates over the constitution of trademark infringement concerning OEM exportation products, and there is still no conclusion in both the academic and practical fields. The situation not only reflects the shortage of regulations, but also put the foreign principal companies and domestic processing companies into dilemma. By empirical approach, the paper discusses the reasons for the distinction on this issue between law enforcement branch and justice branch. Furthermore, the paper puts forwards the points on disputes, such as the application of confusion theory and trademark use, by analyzing the different views among others. Last but not least, the paper provides some suggestions on how to avoid or reduce the legal risk of trademark infringement for both the foreign and domestic companies who are doing business in China.
