이 논문에서 필자는 법률가의 직업적 정체성이 계속적이고 제도적이며, 합법적인 지식생산제도를 통해 구성되고 강회되어짐을 주장하려고 한다. 공식적인 법제도 및 법기관에 관한 이론적 분석을 통해 (예를 들면 법률상의 자격 시험, 시험 준비와 고시준비 과정을 갖고 있는 학교), 필자는 어떻게 법문화와 법률가 집단의 이해가 특히 대만의 법 사회와 같이 유교 사회 아래에서 수용되는 지를 살펴본다. 권력은 개인과 사회 계층들 간의 구조상 위치를 통하여 이해할 수 있다는 푸코의 견해를 따르고, 또한 부르디외에 의해 사용 되어진 “법적 분야”의 특성을 통해서 필자는 대만에서 주입식 문화, 합법적인 지식, 그리고 합법적인 문화 사이에서 그 역설적인 관계를 검토해 본다. 필자는 고시학원이 대부분의 법학도들에게 매우 중대한 역할을 수행하고 있음에도 불구하고 법학교육에 관한 논의에서 충분히 고려되어지지 않는다고 생각하여 고시학원과 비정규법학교육에 초점을 맞춘다. 본 논문에서 필자가 의도하는 것은 고시학원이 법률가의 정체성 형성에 의미심장한 영향을 주고 그 영향은 대만의 정규법학교육에 중대한 영향을 미치고 있다는 것을 입증하려는 것이다.

COILにおける協働的な課題解決学習の試み -学習内省シ-トと期末レポ-トの事例分析から-

郭淑齡(Kuo, Shu-Ling) 대한일어일문학회 2020 일어일문학 Vol.88 No.-

The author brings awareness to the problem arising from international learning, and proposes online intercultural collaborative learning (hereinafter abbreviated as COIL). It involves Collaborative Problem-Solving through multi-layered dialogues with new knowledge between learners and others. This study examines the learning process and results focusing on the problem-solving aspect, and explores the potential and significance of collaborative problem-based learning in COIL. A qualitative analysis using the introspection sheets and the final report finds the following: 1 The program has improved cognitive and emotional aspects of the students, and can help make more thoughtful and feasible proposals compared with individual problem-solving. 2 Proposals for problem-solving can be classified into the most ideal "integrated type", "alternative type", and the most undesirable "dismissing type". 3 In order to prevent "dismissing" proposals, it is important to improve learners" dialogue skills and provide opportunities to speak while emphasizing personal relationship.

Scale Development and Model Validation for the Process of Exercise Engagement for People with Prediabetes

Chang, Shu-Chuan,Yeh, Hsiu-Chen,Kuo, Yu-Lun 한국간호과학회 2020 Journal of Korean Academy of Nursing Vol.50 No.2

Purpose: This study had two objectives: 1) to develop a scale for the process of exercise engagement (SPEE) for prediabetic individuals (PDIs); 2) to validate a structural model for the process of exercise engagement for PDIs. Methods: A cross-sectional survey with simple random sampling was conducted from September 2013 to December 2015 (in Taiwan). A total of 310 PDIs were enrolled for scale development and model validation via item analysis, factor analyses, and structural equation modeling. The Kuo model was used as the basis for developing the Chinese version of the SPEE for PDIs. Results: The SPEE contains five subscales with a total of twenty-one items that account for 54.9% to 65.9% of the total variance explained for assessing participants’ process of engagement during exercise. For Kuo model validation, the model measures indicated goodness of fit between the Kuo model and sample data. Analysis further revealed a direct effect between the creating health blueprints (CHB) stage and the spontaneous regular exercise (SRE) stage (b=.60). Conclusion: The SPEE includes five subscales for assessing the psychological transition and behavioral expression at each stage of the process of exercise engagement for PDIs. The SPEE for people with prediabetes provides deeper insights into the factors of behavioral change stages that are required to initiate long-term health care outcomes and avoid developing diabetes. These insights are significant as they allow for patient-specific mapping and behavior modification to effect exercise.

Development and Preliminary Evaluation of Psychometric Properties of Symptom-Management Self-Efficacy Scale for Breast Cancer Related to Chemotherapy

Shu-Yuan Liang,Wei-Wen Wu,Chiu-Ya Kuo,Yu-Ying Lu 한국간호과학회 2015 Asian Nursing Research Vol.9 No.4

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop and preliminarily evaluate the reliability and validity of the Symptom-Management Self-Efficacy ScaleeBreast Cancer (SMSES-BC) related to chemotherapy. Methods: The study included three stages. This paper presents the results of stage 2 and stage 3. In total, 34 items in the SMSES-BC were found during stage 1 from qualitative findings, a literature review, and expert suggestions; the 34 items were used for the psychometric properties test. Test-retest reliability and Cronbach a were assessed in the first sample, which included 45 participants for the pilot test (stage 2). The second sample, which included 152 patients, was used to assess the construct validity and concurrent validity (stage 3). Results: The pilot test results revealed a test-retest reliability of .73 (p < .001) and Cronbach a coefficient of .96 for the total scale. Three factors (managing chemotherapy-related symptoms, acquiring problem solving, and managing emotional and interpersonal disturbances) were identified from exploratory factor analysis. Correlation coefficient r was .40 (p < .001), which supported the association between SMSES-BC and the General Self-Efficacy Scale for concurrent validity. Conclusions: The study results demonstrate acceptable reliability and validity for the SMSES-BC that was developed for measuring symptom-management self-efficacy related to chemotherapy for patients with breast cancer. This study suggests further research to validate the construct of the SMSES-BC.

Therapeutic Efficacy of a New Procedure for Male Urinary Incontinence Combining a Suburethral Polypropylene Mesh and Cardiovascular Patch

Shu-Yu Wu,Yuan-Hong Jiang,Hann-Chorng Kuo 대한배뇨장애요실금학회 2017 International Neurourology Journal Vol.21 No.1

Purpose: Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) in men is a complication secondary to prostatectomy or resulting from neurological lesions. This study presents our experiences with male suburethral slings over the past decade. Methods: In this study, we considered patients who presented with SUI and were diagnosed with an intrinsic sphincteric deficiency due to postprostatectomy incontinence (PPI) or other causes (non-PPI). Patients who underwent the suburethral sling procedure using a polypropylene mesh and a cardiovascular patch were retrospectively included. An urodynamic study was performed before and after the operation. Global response assessment (GRA) and SUI grading were used for surgical outcome. The revision rate and the infection rate were also evaluated. Results: A total 31 patients were enrolled in this study; the mean patient age was 59.5±18.9 years, and the mean follow-up period was 36.9±29.4 months. Fourteen patients comprised the non-PPI group and 17 were in the PPI group. The preoperative SUI of all patients were categorized as a moderate to severe problem according to the SUI grade, with a mean score of 2.32±0.48 before the operation and 0.48±0.57 after the operation. With a mean score of 2.35±0.71, GRA showed that the patients were satisfied with the treatment. After the sling procedure, 4 patients (13%) reported a mild improvement, 12 (38.7%) a moderate improvement, while 15 (48.4%) reported an excellent improvement. Six patients (19.4%), including 5 from the non-PPI group (35.7%) and 1 (5.9%) from the PPI group (P=0.037), underwent sling removal because of infection. Conclusions: The male suburethral sling procedure using a polypropylene mesh and a cardiovascular patch is a safe, efficacious, and inexpensive surgical procedure for PPI. In cases of neurological incontinence, however, the higher infection rate in non-PPI patients means that they should be carefully managed.

Efficiently Processing Skyline Query on Multi-Instance Data

Shu-I Chiu,Kuo-Wei Hsu 한국정보처리학회 2017 Journal of information processing systems Vol.13 No.5

Related to the maximum vector problem, a skyline query is to discover dominating tuples from a set of tuples,where each defines an object (such as a hotel) in several dimensions (such as the price and the distance to thebeach). A tuple, an instance of an object, dominates another tuple if it is equally good or better in alldimensions and better in at least one dimension. Traditionally, skyline queries are defined upon singleinstancedata or upon objects each of which is associated with an instance. However, in some cases, an objectis not associated with a single instance but rather by multiple instances. For example, on a review website,many users assign scores to a product or a service, and a user’s score is an instance of the object representingthe product or the service. Such data is an example of multi-instance data. Unlike most (if not all) othersconsidering the traditional setting, we consider skyline queries defined upon multi-instance data. We definethe dominance calculation and propose an algorithm to reduce its computational cost. We use synthetic andreal data to evaluate the proposed methods, and the results demonstrate their utility.

Reaching Byzantine Agreement underlying VANET

( Shu-ching Wang ),( Ya-jung Lin ),( Kuo-qin Yan ) 한국인터넷정보학회 2019 KSII Transactions on Internet and Information Syst Vol.13 No.7

The Internet of Things (IoT) enables machines and devices in a global network to connect and provide applications. The Vehicular Ad-hoc NETwork (VANET) allows vehicles in the network to communicate with each other as an application of the IoT. The safety and comfort of passengers can be improved through VANET related applications. In order to be able to provide related applications, there must be a reliable VANET topology. As a result of the Byzantine agreement (BA), fault tolerance can be solved in VANET. In order to improve the reliability of the system, even if some components in the system are damaged, a protocol is needed to assist the system to perform normally. Therefore, the BA problem in VANET with multiple impairments is revisited in this research. The proposed protocol allows all normal processing elements (PEs) to reach agreement using the least amount of information exchange. Moreover, the proposed protocol can tolerate the largest number of damaged PEs in VANET.
