Measuring and Explaining Party Change in Taiwan: 1991?2004

Dafydd Fell 동아시아연구원 2005 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.5 No.1

This study examines party platform change in a Third Wave democratic country, Taiwan, during its first fourteen years of full multi-party elections. A variety of datasets show Taiwan’s parties have moved from polarized positions towards a moderate center on all core electoral issues. However, the parties have not converged into indistinguishable catchall parties; instead they have instituted a state of moderate differentiation. The degree Taiwan’s parties have moderated and been electorally successful has been intimately tied to the internal balance of power between election orientated and ideologically conservative factions or leaders. In response to public opinion and electoral competition, Taiwan’s election orientated leaders attempted to drag their parties towards centrist positions. The key variable constraining convergent party movement and maintaining differentiation has been the strength of ideologically conservative party factions. When these ideologically orientated factions have held the upper hand in parties, they have promoted ideologically orthodox, but often unpopular policies. Even when the election orientated faction is in control at the party center, secondary factions have been able to constrain movement away from party ideals.

Should I Stay or Should I Go? Patterns of Party Switching in Multiparty Taiwan

Dafydd Fell 동아시아연구원 2014 Journal of East Asian Studies Vol.14 No.1

Patterns of party switching in Taiwan have played an important role in the development and relative stability of its party system. In this study I aim to track key patterns of how politicians switched their partisan affiliation during the critical periods of party system change. I examine the level of party switching, where party switching was most prevalent, when switching was most common, and the most common types of switching since the advent of multiparty politics in Taiwan. Party switching is an important phenomenon in the development of party politics in Taiwan but thus far it has received surprisingly little systematic attention. This is the first comprehensive attempt to tackle this understudied topic.

AN ASSESSMENT OF FACTORS ASSOCIATED WITH INCREASED PRODUCTIVITY OF DAIRY FARMS IN FIJI

Kerr, D.V.,Fell, R.F.,Murray, A.J.,Chaseling, J. Asian Australasian Association of Animal Productio 1995 Animal Bioscience Vol.8 No.5

A survey of physical inputs was conducted on the total population of dairy farms supplying milk to the Rewa cooperative dairy company in Fiji. The critical inputs associated with total farm milk production were determined using multiple regression, with analyses being conducted for each of the three identified supplier groups, bulk milk, canned milk and cream. Mean annual milk production per cow averaged 1460 (s.d. = 319), 889 (s.d. = 321) and 800 (s.d. = 451) litres for the bulk milk, canned milk and cream suppliers respectively. Stocking rate averaged 1.37 (s.d. = 1.18) cows per hectare over all farms. Inputs to pasture were universally low and Navua sedge (Cyperus aromaticus) was identified as a major weed. The average amount of supplement fed annually on a grain equivalent basis was 700 (s.d. = 984) kg per cow for bulk milk, 84 (s.d. = 198) kg per cow for canned milk and 146 (s.d. = 542) kg per cow for cream suppliers. The analysis of data from a small group of farms using nitrogen fertiliser indicated that their production levels were higher than the general population. This suggests that there is potential for the Fijian dairy industry to increase milk production through the use of higher inputs to cows and pastures. The regression models relating annual milk production from farms to the two key inputs of number of cows milked and the amount of supplement fed were all significant (p < 0.001). The coefficients of determination for these models ranged from 56.9 to 89.4 percent.

Purpose:Chronic cervical pain is a common source of disability in society. There has been no research regarding the amount of pressure for the deep cervical flexors during cranio-cervical flexion exercise (CCFE). The purpose of this study is to determine optimal pressure levels to facilitate deep cervical muscles (longus colli & longus capitis) during cranio-cervical flexion exercise, using ultrasound measurement of the muscles. Methods:Using a cross-sectional design, the study was performed in an experimental group of 19 subjects (7 men, 12 women) with no cervical pain. Participants were instructed to perform the CCFE, and during the five incremental stages of the test, changes in thickness, as compared to resting baseline values, were measured using ultrasonography for sternocleidomastoid muscle (SCM) and deep cervical muscles (DCF). Results:Both DCF and SCM muscles demonstrated an increase in recruitment with each progressive phase of the test. In comparing the different pressure increments, the most significant changes found in DCF thickness were between phase 2 and phase 3 (p<.05), However no differences were found between pressure increments for SCM thickness (p>.05). Conclusion:The results suggest 26 mm Hg as the optimal pressure level during cranio-cervical flexion exercise for facilitation of deep cervical flexor.

불안정판 위에서 후방 유선형 신발이 척추기립근 및 하지 근 활성도에 미치는 영향

권혁규,권유정,박진현,Dennis W. Fell 대구대학교 특수교육재활과학연구소 2011 再活科學硏究 Vol.29 No.1

본 연구는 일반 신발과 후방 유선형 신발을 착용한 후 불안정판 위에서 척추세움근, 안쪽넓은근, 앞정강근, 장딴지근, 넙다리두갈래근의 근 활성도를 비교 하기 위한 것으로 성인 남녀 28명이 참가하였으며 대상자들은 일반 신발과 후방 유선형 신발을 신고 8단계의 BSS 기기 위에 15초 동안 서서 근활성도를 측정하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 종합해보면 후방 유선형 신발을 착용한 경우 일반 신발을 착용한 경우에 비해서 앞정강근과 안쪽 넓은근에서 상대적으로 더 높은 활성도를 보여주었다. 이러한 결과는 건강한 성인에서 후방 유선형 신발을 신었을 때 불안정한 면 위에서 균형을 유지하기 위해 발목의 자세 조절전략만으로도 균형을 유지하기에 충분한 것으로 생각되어진다. The purpose of this study was to compare muscle activation of erector spine and lower extremity such as tibialis anterior, gastrocnemius, medial hamstring and vastus medialis after wearing a pair of normal shoes and unstable shoes on the rocking surface. 28 university students who did not have any lower musculoskeletal and neurological disorders in the past were participated in this study. Each subject was standing for 15 seconds on the biodex stability system(BSS) of level 8 while wearing normal shoes and unstable shoes. we used Electromyography to measure muscle activation of elector spine and lower extremity and expressed muscle activation as a percentage of maximal voluntary isometric contraction (%MVIC). Paired t-test was used to compare the muscle activation of erector spine and lower extremity between normal shoes and unstable shoes. The result of this study was as follows. Tibialis anterior and vastus medialis showed relatively higher average electromyogram rates more than normal shoes(p<.05).

이 연구는 트레드밀 운동과 키네시오 테이핑의 효과에 따른 폐활량의 변화를 알아보기 위해 26명의 비흡연자가 참가하였으며 키네시오 테이핑을 적용하지 않은 그룹과 키네시오 테이핑을 적용한 두 그룹으로 무작위로 배정하고 각 군들을 주 3회 6주간의 트레드밀 훈련을 실시하였다. 실험 전과 후, 스파이로미터를 사용하여 키네시오 테이핑의 적용 따른 폐활량 변화 효과를 측정하였다. 이 연구의 결과를 종합해보면 키네시오 테이핑을 적용 그룹에서 적용하지 않은 그룹에 비해 FVC, FEV1에서 유의한 증가를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 건강한 성인에서 키네시오 테이핑을 적용한 경우 키네시오 테이핑을 적용하지 않고 트레드밀 운동을 한 경우보다 폐활량의 향상에 효과적이라고 생각되어진다. The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation of vital capacity(VC) according to the effects of kinesio taping with treadmill exercise. Twenty-six non-smokers were participated in this research and these subjects were randomly assigned into two groups. To measure the VC variation effects of kinesio taping, spirometer was used. The collected data were analyzed statistically by using a paired Mauchly test and repeated measure ANOVA. The results of this study were as follows; A group: treadmill with kinesio taping B group: treadmill without kinesio taping. Between A and B, there were significant differences. In the case of A group, there was 11.66% increase of VC, during 3 weeks experiment(p<.01). In the case of B group, there were significant differences, 3.35% increase of VC, during 3 weeks taping intervention(p<.01). After 6 weeks experiment, the improvement of VC shown a significant difference with intergroup (p<.05). From this result, it was revealed that treadmill exercise with kinesio taping was effective to improve VC to healthy adult than treadmill exercise without kinesio taping.

Fallen Leaves, New Roots

Fallen Leaves,New Roots 아시아음악학회 2019 Asian Musicology Vol.30 No.-

Since the nineteenth century, many Chinese have looked to Australia as a land of opportunity, enterprise and eventually settlement. Early sojourners spent decades in colonial Australia with the intention of returning home according to the classical idiom luoye guigen 落葉歸根 (“falling leaves returning to their roots”). Later arrivals from the 1970s and beyond often came with the intention of establishing a new life and home in Australia. This paper examines the music of three collectivities of individuals who over the course of history, have chosen to stay without much thought of returning to their respective homelands. Their unique music, developed “down under,” has for many years influenced my work as a composer, performer and researcher of Chinese descent in the sonic exploration of my own cultural roots. Even to the present day, I attempt to discern what it means to be “Chinese” in a retrospective homeward journey back to China, my “imagined homeland,” as coined by historian Benedict Anderson (1991). Through the examination of various case studies, I present an analysis of my compositional output in relation to its intrinsic connection with selected genres of music from China currently performed in Australia.
