蕭金土,高文民,卓美方,王金香 대구대학교 특수교육재활과학연구소 2007 再活科學硏究 Vol.25 No.1

최근 몇 년 회귀 주류와의 융합 교육 정책 하에 대만의 특수 교육 학교는 예전과 다른 큰 변화에 직면해 있다. 완전 융합 이념의 실시 또 심신장애학생을 주류교육으로 회귀해야 한다는 것을 제창함으로, 특수교육학교는 인원이 감소하게 됐다. 특수교육 학교는 신입생 모집이 부족한 상황에서 학교 교사들의 관점이 교장의 지도에 대해 보는 관점이 어떻게 다른가? 그에 대한 요구도 다른가? 본 연구는 두 인자 변의 수 분석이 대만 지능 장애와 감각 장애 종류의 특수 교육 학교 교장전형 리더십에 대한 연구이다. 실험 대상자는 8개 지능 장애종류 특수교육 학교와 5개 감각 장애종류 특수 교육 학교의 259명의 교사이고 그들이 특수교육학교 교장 리더에 대한 건의를 제출했다. In recent years, the domestic special education schools have faced with huge changes under the mainstream and inclusive education policies for the implementation of the full-inclusive and the mainstream education for the students with impairment. That causes the special education schools to reduce classes. Under this situation, what are the teachers?fdifferent views about the principal? What are their needs? The study was undertaken through two-way ANOVA to explore principals?ftransformational leadership between the schools for the mentally retarded and for the sensory impaired. 259 teachers were selected from 8 schools for the mentally retarded and 5 sensory impairment special education schools. Based upon the findings, the implications for practice were proposed.

Beethoven’s Shakespeare :“Mystery of the Tempest in Taiwan”

Mei-Wen Lee 한국셰익스피어학회 2010 셰익스피어 비평 Vol.46 No.1

The Piano Sonata in D minor Op.31, No.2 was composed in 1801/2 by Ludwig van Beethoven, and is usually referred to as “The Tempest” (Der Sturm). But this title was not given by Beethoven, instead, it comes from a claim by Anton Schindler that the sonata was inspired by the Shakespeare play. However, scholar Donald Francis Tovey states “The story that Beethoven connected this sonata with the Tempest is evidently one of many such inventions by his biographer Anton Schindler.” Yet, he does not deny that there is for sure a mood in common to both. Beethoven had been thoroughly familiar with and fond of all Shakespeare’s plays all his life time. With all the tragic power of his first movement the D minor Sonata is, like Prospero, almost as far beyond tragedy as it is beyond only foul weather. The tradition of music expression in Classic period and the turning point of Beethoven’s life in 1802 made the meaning of Tempest Sonata complicated and mysterious to Taiwan’s musician. It is impossible to merely use the story line of Shakespeare’s Tempest to explain all Beethoven’s innovations in Op.31, No.2. This creates a very interesting situation-the pianists, the teachers, the students, the audience and the music scholars in Taiwan try very hard to mix limit understanding with vast imagination to invent their own interpretation of the Tempest Sonata.

Insufficient radiofrequency ablation-induced autophagy contributes to the rapid progression of residual hepatocellular carcinoma through the HIF-1α/BNIP3 signaling pathway

( Wen-lei Xu ),( Shao-hong Wang ),( Wen-bing Sun ),( Jun Gao ),( Xue-mei Ding ),( Jian Kong ),( Li Xu ),( Shan Ke ) 생화학분자생물학회(구 한국생화학분자생물학회) 2019 BMB Reports Vol.52 No.4

Currently speaking, it is noted that radiofrequency ablation (RFA) has been the most widely used treatment for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) occurring in patients. However, accumulating evidence has demonstrated that the incidence of insufficient RFA (IRFA) may result in the identified rapid progression of residual HCC in the patient, which can greatly hinder the effectiveness and patient reported benefits of utilizing this technique. Although many efforts have been proposed, the underlying mechanisms triggering the rapid progression of residual HCC after IRFA have not yet been fully clarified through current research literature reviews. It was shown in this study that cell proliferation, migration and invasion of residual HepG2 and SMMC7721 cells were significantly increased after the IRFA was simulated in vitro. In other words, it is noted that IRFA could do this by enhancing the image of autophagy of the residual HCC cell via the HIF-1 α/BNIP3 pathway. Consequently, the down-regulation of BNIP3 may result in the inhibition of the residual HCC cell progression and autophagy after IRFA. Our present study results suggest that IRFA could promote residual HCC cell progression in vitro by enhancing autophagy via the HIF-1 α/BNIP3 pathway. For this reason, it is noted that the targeting of the BNIP3 may be useful in preventing the rapid growth and metastasis of residual HCC after IRFA. [BMB Reports 2019; 52(4): 277-282]

Quality of Life for Patients with Esophageal/Gastric Cardia Precursor Lesions or Cancer: A One-year Prospective Study

Wen, Ying,Pan, Xiong-Fei,Huang, Wen-Zhi,Zhao, Zhi-Mei,Wei, Wen-Qiang,Chen, Feng,Lan, Hui,Huang, He,Yang, Chun-Xia,Qiao, You-Lin Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2015 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.16 No.1

Background: The current study examined health-related quality of life (QoL) for patients with esophageal/gastric cardia precursor lesions or cancer before and after treatment to facilitate improved prevention and treatment. Materials and Methods: Patients with different stages of esophageal/gastric cardia lesions completed two QoL questionnaires, EORTC QLQ-C30 and supplemental QLQ-OES 18, before primary treatment, and at 1, 6 and 12 months after treatment. Results: Fifty-nine patients with precursor lesions, 57 with early stage cancer, and 43 with advanced cancer responded to our survey. Patients with precursor lesions or early stage cancer reported better QoL overall than those with advanced cancer before treatment (p<0.01). Global QoL scores before treatment and at 1 month after treatment were $71{\pm}9$ versus $69{\pm}9$ (p>0.01), $71{\pm}8$ versus $61{\pm}11$ (p<0.01), $67{\pm}11$ versus $62{\pm}9$ (p<0.01) for three stages of lesions. At 6 months after treatment, some QoL measures recovered gradually in precursor lesion and early cancer patients, while some continuously deteriorated in advanced cancer patients. At 12 months, all QoL scores were comparable to baseline for patients with precursor lesions (p>0.01), while global QoL, social, pain, and insomnia scores for early stage and advanced cancer were inferior to corresponding baseline levels (difference between means>5, p<0.01). At this time point, compared with patients with early stage cancer, those with advanced cancer showed worse QoL with all function and most symptom measures (p<0.01). Conclusions: Patients with precursor lesions or early stage esophageal/gastric cardia cancer show better QoL than those with advanced cancer. This indicates that screening, early diagnosis and treatment may improve the QoL for esophageal/gastric cardia cancer patients. Target intervention and counseling should be given by health care providers during treatment and follow-up to facilitate QoL improvement.

Polyester/Polylactic Acid/Stainless Steel Composite Bone Scaffolds Made by Electrochemical Treatment: Process Design and Property Evaluations

Mei-Chen Lin,Ching-Wen Lou,Jan-Yi Lin,Ting An Lin,Shih-Peng Wen,Jia-Horng Lin 한국섬유공학회 2019 Fibers and polymers Vol.20 No.2

This study combines and twists 75D polyester (PET) multi-filaments and polylactic acid (PLA) multi-filaments with twist coefficients of 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 to form 150D PET/PLA plied yarns. The 0.08-mm-diameter stainless steel (SS) fibers are made into SS braids with a 60-tooth braid gear and a take-up gear with 60, 70, 80, 90, or 100 teeth. PET/PLA plied yarn and SS braids are then combined and electrochemically treated with an electric current of 100, 200, 300, 400, or 500 mA at 60 ℃ for 24 hours, forming the PET/PLA/SS composite bone scaffolds. PET/PLA/SS composite bone scaffolds are observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscope (EDS), and tested for weight increase rate and biocompatibility. The experiment results show that the optimal twist coefficient for PET/PLA plied yarn is 4 and the optimal tooth number on the take-up gear for SS braids is 80. SEM observation result shows that hydroxyapatite (HA) deposits on the surface of PET/PLA/SS composite bone scaffolds and attaches to the PET/PLA plied yarns. Finally, regardless of electric currents, all PET/PLA/SS composite bone scaffolds possess good biocompatibility.

Diversity of Thermophilic Fungi in Tengchong Rehai National Park Revealed by ITS Nucleotide Sequence Analyses

Wen-Zheng Pan,Xiao-Wei Huang,Kang-Bi Wei,Chun-Mei Zhang,Dong-Mei Yang,Jun-Mei Ding,Ke-Qin Zhang 한국미생물학회 2010 The journal of microbiology Vol.48 No.2

The geothermal sites near neutral and alkalescent thermal springs in Tengchong Rehai National Park were examined through cultivation-dependent approach to determine the diversity of thermophilic fungi in these environments. Here, we collected soils samples in this area, plated on agar media conducive for fungal growth, obtained pure cultures, and then employed the method of internal transcribed spacer (ITS)sequencing combined with morphological analysis for identification of thermophilic fungi to the species level. In total, 102 strains were isolated and identified as Rhizomucor miehei, Chaetomium sp., Talaromyces thermophilus, Talaromyces byssochlamydoides, Thermoascus aurantiacus Miehe var. levisporus, Thermomyces lanuginosus, Scytalidium thermophilum, Malbranchea flava, Myceliophthora sp. 1, Myceliophthora sp. 2,Myceliophthora sp. 3, and Coprinopsis sp. Two species, T. lanuginosus and S. thermophilum were the dominant species, representing 34.78% and 28.26% of the sample, respectively. Our results indicated a greater diversity of thermophilic fungi in neutral and alkaline geothermal sites than acidic sites around hot springs reported in previous studies. Most of our strains thrived at alkaline growth conditions.

일반논문 : 20세기초 한국의 일본농업이민연구: 동양척식회사를 중심으로

문춘미 ( Chun Mei Wen ) 한림대학교 일본학연구소 2013 翰林日本學 Vol.0 No.23

Japanese Oriental Development Company (hereinafter abbreviated as the Company), established in December 1908, was a national enterprise to engage in the emigration of Japanese farmers to Korea. The two major operational fields of the Company were operating large-scale farms in Korea and working on Japanese agricultural migration. Due to the decree sing number of farmable lands in Japan, the Imperial Japan decided to establish migration po licies which would help people to move to the Korean Peninsula to farm. This gave rise to a number of Japanese farmers coming to Korea. By 1917, the company accepted 1,000 families annually, and by 1926, they had god[clarification needed] 260 families per year too. Therefore, the company accepted about 9,000 families in total by 1926. From the newly formed company commenced operation, most of the documents and reports relating to the project were confidential. Besides, when surrendered, Japan destroyed a number of important documents, including the Company`s archives. Therefore, so far, the primary sources of information on the Company are rare. For the above reasons, studies of the Company, compared with its functions and scale, are sparse. Studies are much rarer especially on the living conditions, distribution and the Company`s management of the agricultural migrants and the role of the Company in Japanese colonial rule to South Korea. From 1910 to 1926, the Company performed the Japanese agricultural migration cause to South Korea and implemented the plan of “migrating 20,000 complete families in twenty years” in Manchukuo in 1936, which had a profound impact on the Japanese government`s agricultural migration policy, in level of experience and lessons. In this sense, the study of the Company`s agricultural migration will help us deeply understand the overall evolution and outlook of Japanese agricultural migration in colonies. Based on the existing research results, this paper attempts to clarify the historical context of Japanese agricultural migration plans, the creation of relevant theory, content and operational changes, its influence on Japan colonial rule on South Korea and reasons for the failure of Japanese agriculture migration. After the Russo-Japanese war, mass Japanese migrated to the United States, Canada and other North American area. In February 1908, Japan signed the “gentlemen`s agreement” with the United States, whose purpose was to limit the Japanese migrants to North America countries, and at the same time Japan decided to focus on migration to Manchuria and South Korea. The most important goal of establishing the Company is to implement the agriculture migration cause to Manchuria and South Korea. Japan intended to solve the problem of domestic population increase, food shortage and other social problem and more important to construct the ruling system in colonies by sending a large number of Japanese tenants to colonies such as South Korea and Manchuria and cultivating them to be yeomen. The Company sold land to Japanese migrants and let them pay by installment. When they paid in full, they owned the land and became yeomen. Afterwards, the Company three times (1915, 1917, and 1917) modified the 1910 “Migrant rules”, which made the migration type gradually shift from the original yeomen migration to the landlord immigration. In the aspects of amenities, agricultural infrastructure and financial support, etc. the Company provided many preferential policies to Japanese migrants to make them rapidly rooted in South Korean rural area. Although supported by the Japanese government with a variety of preferential policies, the Company`s migration agricultural management did not fulfilled its original aims and later class differentiation phenomenon arose in its business. The Company`s agricultural migration program deprived the South Korean peasants` tenancy rights and compelled them leave their motherland to Manchuria, therefore, at that time South Korean public opinion blamed the Company as the culprit of worsening the South Korean agricultural operating conditions. Given the final results, the Company`s agricultural migration business had negative impact on Japanese colonial rule in South Korea. Because of the severe underestimation of strong resistance and revolt of South Korean peasants, the Company`s Japanese agricultural immigration plan was rebuffed in the implementation process and eventually failed. Due to the fundament problems that the migration enterprise itself bred ethnic and class contradictions, the failure of the Japanese agricultural migrants program was expected.
