본 논문은 타이완의 자연자원에 대한 “리커머닝” 과정을 특히 토착민의 맥락과 연관하여 분석하고자 한다. 가장 대표적이고도 중요한 공유재의 일종인 야생동물은 지금까지 타이완 토착 사회의 일상과 문화적 관습에 있어 핵심적인 것이었다. 자신들의 자연자원 권리를 되찾기 위한 토착민투쟁의 중요성을 강조하기 위하여, 나는 토착(민)-국가 야생동물 공동 운용체제의 부상과 최근의 경향을 연구하였다. 토착적 커먼즈 체제는 전통적 야생동물 사냥 및 운영 기관들을 포함하여 한때 타이완의 토지 및 자연자원을 장악하였다. 야생동물의 경우, 근대 국가 체제의 침략은 상당 부분 토착적 기관에 영향을 미쳤다. 그러나 국가가 토착적 야생동물의 활용과 운영권을 완전히 차지한 것은 1980년대에 이르러서였다. 1989년, 의회에서 야생동물 보호법이 통과되었다. 이는 야생동물 사냥을 완전히 금지하고, 사실상 토착적 기관을 무시하는 것이었으며, 야생동물을 국가 중심적, 지휘 및 통제 방식의 천연자원 운용 체제 하에 실질적으로 포함시켰다. 그러한 엄격한 야생동물 보호법은 토착 야생동물 사냥 관습과 제도에 심각하고도 부정적인 영향을 끼친다. 이는 그간 토착민 운동의 핵심적인 주장 중 하나이기도 하다. 야생동물 사냥과 활용에 관한 토착민들의 법적 권리 요구는 지속적으로 정부 당국과 주류 사회의 저항에 부딪힌다. 다른 한편, 토착 운동 및 환경단체의 몇몇 활동가들과 학자들은 일종의 합의를 이루어 냈고, 최근 몇 년간 야생동물 공동 운용 체제를 이룩하기 위한 연합을 형성했다. 몇몇 이들에게 최종 목표는 독립적이며 자치적인 토착 야생생물 관리체제일 것이다. 2016년, 새로운 가능성이 열렸다. 타이완의 새 대통령 차이잉원(蔡英文)이 토착민들의 전통적 정의를 추구하기 위한 새로운 토착 정책을 공표한 것이다. 해당 정책은 야생동물 보전을 담당하는 국가 기관인 산림부의 기존 경로를 상당히 바꾸어 놓았다. 산림부는 적극적으로 8개의 선구적 프로젝트에 착수하였는데, 이는 학계의 참여 하에 토착(민)-국가 야생동물 공동관리체제를 시행하기 위한 점진적인 과정이었다. 계획적인 리커머닝 과정을 서술하기 위해, 필자들은 트루쿠(Truku)족의 사례를 연구하였다. 이 사례 연구는 외부 기관의 지원과 저항, 커뮤니티 내부의 역학, 자원 운용 능력, 학계와 비정부 기관의 역할 등을 포함한 핵심적인 도전 과제와 현재의 성과들을 제시한다. 이러한 새로운 경험들은 타이완 커먼즈 거버넌스를 향한 체제 전환의 가능성에 관해 비판적 통찰을 제시할 수 있을 것이다. This paper aims to study the “re-commoning” process of natural resources in Taiwan, in particular related to indigenous context. As one of the most typical and important types of common-pool resources, wildlife has been, and still is the core of Taiwan indigenous society’s daily life and culture practice. To highlight the significance of indigenous struggle toward reclaiming their natural resources rights, we study the latest trends of the rise of indigenousstate wildlife co-management regime in Taiwan. Indigenous commons regime, including the traditional wildlife hunting and management institutions, once dominated the land and natural resources in Taiwan. In the case of wildlife, the invasion of modern state regime did to certain extent exerted influences on indigenous institutions. The state, however, has never absolutely taken over the indigenous wildlife use and management rights until 1980s. In 1989, the Wildlife Conservation Act was passed by the parliament, which absolutely prohibits wildlife hunting, ignores the de facto indigenous institutions, and virtually includes wildlife as part of the state-centric, command-and-control natural resources management regime. The strict Wildlife Conservation Act causes serious, negative impacts on indigenous wildlife hunting practice, as well as its institutions. This has also been one of the focuses of indigenous movement’s claims. The indigenous claim of legal rights of wildlife hunting and management is steadily withstand by both the state authority and the mainstream society. Meanwhile some activists in the indigenous movement, environmental organizations, and academics achieved some sort of consensus, and formed a coalition to pursue a co-management wildlife regime in recent years. For some people, the goal might be an autonomous, self-governed indigenous wildlife management regime. In 2016, a new window of opportunity arose. The new Taiwan President, Tsai In-Wen, declared a new indigenous policy toward pursuing transitional justice for indigenous rights. The policy significantly changed the traditional route of the state authority, the Forestry Bureau, which is in charge of the wildlife conservation. The Forestry Bureau actively initiated eight pioneer projects, trying to build up step by step an indigenous-state wildlife co-management regime, in which the academics are also involved. To illustrate the deliberate re-commoning process, we study a case of Truku Tribe. The case study unpacks some of the key challenges and current achievements, including the support and/or resistance of external institutions, intra-community dynamics, management capacity, and the roles of academics and non-governmental organizations. These novel experiences may offer critical insights for a possible paradigm shift of commons governance in Taiwan.

Magnetism and Thermodynamic Properties of a Spin-1/2 Ferrimagnetic Diamond XY Chain in Magnetic Fields at Finite Temperatures

Tai-Min Cheng,Yan-Ming Ma,Chong-Yuan Ge,Shu-Sheng Sun,Wei-Ye Jia,Qing-Yun Li,Xiao-Fei Shi,Lin Li,Lin Zhu 한국물리학회 2013 THE JOURNAL OF THE KOREAN PHYSICAL SOCIETY Vol.62 No.1

The elementary excitation spectra of a one-dimensional ferrimagnetic diamond chain in the spin- 1/2 XY model at low temperatures have been calculated by using an invariant eigen-operator (IEO) method, the energies of elementary excitations in different specific cases are discussed, and the analytic solutions of three critical magnetic field intensities (<i>H</i>_C1, <i>H</i>_C2, and <i>H</i>_peak) are given. The magnetization versus external magnetic field curve displays a 1/3 magnetization plateau at low temperatures, in which <i>H</i>_C1 is the critical magnetic field intensity from the disappearance of the 1/3 magnetization plateau to spin-flop states, <i>H</i>_C2 is the critical magnetic field intensity from spin-flop states to the saturation magnetization, and Hpeak is the critical magnetic field intensity when the temperature magnetization shows a peak in the external magnetic field. The temperature dependences of the magnetic susceptibility and the specific heat show a double peak structure. The entropy and the magnetic susceptibility versus external magnetic field curves also exhibit a double peak structure, and the positions of the two peaks correspond to <i>H</i>_C1 and <i>H</i>_C2, respectively. This derives from the competition among different types of energies: the temperature-dependent thermal disorder energy, the potential energy of the spin magnetic moment, the ferromagnetic exchange interaction energy, and the anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction energy. However at low temperatures, the specific heat as a function of external magnetic field curve exhibits minima at the above two critical points (<i>H</i>_C1 and <i>H</i><sub>C2<sub>). The origins of the above phenomena are discussed in detail.

Objective: The optimal duration of adjuvant trastuzumab treatment in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer is not known. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of 6 months of adjuvant trastuzumab treatment in patients with stage II or III HER2-positive breast cancer. Methods: The records of patients with HER2-positive stage II or III breast cancer who were admitted to the Breast Center of Taipei Medical University Hospital and Yuan's General Hospital between 2000 and 2008 were reviewed. All patients received adjuvant trastuzumab at an initial dose of 4 mg/kg followed by a maintenance dose of 2 mg/kg/week for 22 weeks in combination with chemotherapy. Results: A total of 51 patients were included with a mean age of 46.9 years. Approximately 55% of the patients had stage III disease. The mean follow-up time from initiation of treatment was 45.2 months (range, 0.9 to 85 months). During follow-up, 46 patients (90.2%) did not experience tumor recurrence. The mean estimated disease free survival was 80.2 months. The estimated 1-, 2-, 5-, and 7-year survival rates were 97.9%, 93.1%, 93.1%, and 93.1%, respectively. The most common adverse effects were gastrointestinal symptoms (21.6%), chills (17.6%), dizziness (9.8%), and bone pain (7.8%). No cardiac or hematologic adverse events occurred. Conclusion: Adjuvant therapy with trastuzumab for 6 months resulted in a clinical benefit in patients with HER2-positive breast cancer.

Excessive mechanical strain accelerates intervertebral disc degeneration by disrupting intrinsic circadian rhythm

Night shift workers with disordered rhythmic mechanical loading are more prone to intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD). Our results showed that circadian rhythm (CR) was dampened in degenerated and aged NP cells. Long-term environmental CR disruption promoted IDD in rats. Excessive mechanical strain disrupted the CR and inhibited the expression of core clock proteins. The inhibitory effect of mechanical loading on the expression of extracellular matrix genes could be reversed by BMAL1 overexpression in NP cells. The Rho/ROCK pathway was demonstrated to mediate the effect of mechanical stimulation on CR. Prolonged mechanical loading for 12 months affected intrinsic CR genes and induced IDD in a model of upright posture in a normal environment. Unexpectedly, mechanical loading further accelerated the IDD in an Light-Dark (LD) cycle-disrupted environment. These results indicated that intrinsic CR disruption might be a mechanism involved in overloading-induced IDD and a potential drug target for night shift workers.

Standardizing GC-FID Measurement of Nonmethane Hydrocarbons in Air for International Intercomparison Using Retention Index and Effective Carbon Number Concept

Liaw, Sheng-Ju,Tso, Tai-Ly 한국분석과학회 1995 분석과학 Vol.8 No.4

Accurate measurements of ozone precursors are required to understand the process and extent of ozone formation in rural and urban areas. Nonmethane hydrocarbons (NMHCs) have been identified as important ozone precursors. Identification and quantification of NMHCs are difficult because of the large number present and the wide molecular weight range encountered in typical air samples. A major plan of the research team of the Climate and Air Quality Taiwan Station (CATs) was the measurement of atmospheric nonmethane hydrocarbons. An analytical method has been development for the analysis of the individual nonmethane hydrocarbons in ambient air at ppb (v) and subppb(v) levels. The whole ambient air samples were collected in canisters and analyzed by GC-FID with $Al_2O_3$/KCl PLOT column. Our targeted for quantitative analysis 43 compounds that may be substantial contributors to ozone formation. The retention indices and molar response factors of some commercially available $C_2{\sim}C_{10}$ hydrocarbons were determined and used to identify and quantify air samples. A quality assurance program was instituted to ensure that good measurements were made by participating in the International Nonmethane Hydrocarbon Intercomparison Experiments (NOMHICE).
