Hsiao, Su-ying, 2012, The Nominative/Genitive Alternation in Modem Inner Mongolian Relative (lames: A Statistical Perspective. Linguistic Research 29(2), 351-380. This paper investigates the nominative/genitive alternation in Modem Inner Mongolian from a statistical perspective, and accounts for the different preferences of nominative or genitive subjects in relative clauses between Mongolian and Japanese from a synchronic point of view, It is proposed that finiteness of relative clauses accounts for the subject Case marking alternation. Nominal subject occurs in a finite relative clause, and genitive subject occurs in a non-finite, nominal relative clause. Our statistical study shows that nominative subjects are less preferred than their genitive counterparts in Modem Inner Mongolian. Compared to Mongolian nominative/genitive alternation, nominative subjects are more common in Japanese. It is claimed that the developments of verbal noun aspectual suffixes to finite indicative suffixes also occurred in the history of Japanese, and Japanese goes faster than Mongolian does, Aspectual suffixes have evolved into indicative suffixes in Japanese, while in Inner Mongolian it is an ongoing development.

( Su Tzu-ying ) 성균관대학교 유교문화연구소 2011 儒敎文化硏究(中文版) Vol.0 No.15

本文將重点放在平實性與形上性的厘淸之上。《中庸》很明顯的在此成爲儒家思想由平實性到形上性的重要轉折点, 故以此爲首討論中間的思想轉折? 爲何鬚有此轉向? 孟子與孔子些微的差別卽在于人性道德价値的確立上, 孟子先給予价値上人性善的確立, 而孔子則沒有明確說之。那孔子眞正且明確的价値向望爲何? 這向望的關懷具體落實于人卽是希望“立人達人”, 而所表現的整體社群關系, 我們可以透過孔子對于眞善美的說明而理解之。 故本文分三大部分, 首先討論平實性與形上性的差異, 第二部分推敲孔子平實性的价値爲何, 最后以轉向的可能原因結論之。 This article will focus on the Ordinary and metaphysical discussion. The Doctrine of Mean is an important turning point that Confucian changes from ordinary to metaphysical .Then we should to discuss what about the turning point? why we should have this change? Mencius and Confucius have a little difference ideas in moral values. Mencius give the moral value of the good, but Confucius is not declare moral value's position. So what value is Confucius real and clear to look at? The values practice in person is to put into “establish others and promote others”, and in society is to put into community relations, so that Confucius' community values can understand by “the True, the Good and the Beauty.” Therefore, this article is divided into three parts, the first discuss the differences between ordinary and metaphysical, the second part discuss what value is Confucius real and clear to look at? The last part discusses why the ideas change? [Article in Chinese]

The Humane Education of “Passion to be Stressed and to be Well Expressed” of Confucianism in the Early Qin Dynasty

Ying-Fen Su 강원대학교 인문과학연구소 2016 Journal of Humanities Therapy Vol.7 No.2

This essay is to discuss Confucius' emphasis on “passion” and his perspective on “entering the spirit of ritual via passion” from the viewpoint of Confucianism in the Early Qin Dynasty. The essay is divided into five parts. The first part is the prologue: based on Confucian classics, the essay is to explicate Confucius' stressing on “passion” in the humanistic dimension from the viewpoint of Confucianism in the Early Qin Dynasty. In the second part, the essay is to discuss tracing the beginning of the usage of the word “passion” and the perspective of expressing “passion”, affirming that the expression of “passion and desire” is rooted in human nature. Thirdly, the essay is to talk about the principle of expressing “passion”: the core meaning of the word “passion” includes loyalty (modesty) and faithfulness (sincerity). Furthermore, here the essay is to discuss Dai Zhen's usage of the word “passion” which is applied to a wider range of meaning. The fourth part concerns the meaning of “passion to be stressed and to be well expressed”: entering the spirit of ritual via passion is to make passion well expressed. One is taught how to make passion stressed and well expressed (the gift matters little while the giver's feelings matters all / to receive is to give respect). The final part is the conclusion. According to “Nature Emerges from Life” in the Guodian Chu Slips, “One must temper passion with reason before expressing or receiving it, and then it should be seasoned with ritual,” this viewpoint provides us with a thought on humanistic dimension and value of “passion deep and ritual clear” through whose humane education one is cultivated to become a form essence balanced gentleman (Yong Ye, the Analects).

Su, Long,Li, Xian,Gao, Su-Jun,Yu, Ping,Liu, Xiao-Liang,Tan, Ye-Hui,Liu, Ying-Min Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.2

Objectives: The present study aimed to examine the cytogenetic and genetic mutation features of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) in elderly Chinese patients. Methods: A retrospective analysis of cytogenetics and genetic mutations was performed in 113 cases (age range 50-82 years) with de novo AML. Results: The most frequent cytogenetic abnormality was t (15;17) (q22;q21), detected in 10.0% (n = 9) of successfully analyzed cases, followed by t (8;21) (q22;q22) in 8.89% (n = 8), and complex karyotypes in 5.56% (n = 5). Those with complex karyotypes included 4 cases (4.44%) of monosomal karyotypes. The frequencies of NPM1, FLT3-ITD, c-kit, and CEBPA mutations were 27.4% (31/113), 14.5% (16/110), 5.88% (6/102), and 23.3% (7/30), respectively. The complete remission rates of patients in low, intermediate, and high risk groups were 37.5%, 48.6%, and 33.3%, respectively (${\chi}^2$ = 0.704, P = 0.703) based on risk stratification. Conclusion: Cytogenetics and genetic mutations alone may not be sufficient to evaluate the prognoses of elderly AML patients. The search for a novel model that would enable a more comprehensive evaluation of this population is therefore imperative.

How Philosophical Counseling Eliminates the Problem of “Stagnation”

Ying-Fen Su 강원대학교 인문과학연구소 2019 Journal of Humanities Therapy Vol.10 No.2

Based on two texts of pre-Qin and Han Confucian classics, the Analects and Mengzi, this paper discusses the viewpoint on how philosophical counseling deals with the problem of “stagnation” which each counselee is straitened. This paper is divided into four parts. First of all, in the preface, this paper indicates that the reason to discuss the problem of “stagnation” (being under straitened circumstances and with no further action), how the straitened circumstances conceals the counselees’ emotion, and how to guide the counselees to the wisdom way to be free from the straitened circumstances. The second part of this paper is the observation of “stagnation”. According to the analysis of philosophical counseling, actually the problem of “stagnation” has its own value. It occurs when the counselee is unable to figure out his or her emotion (i.e. concealing the inner feeling or not doing a thing); or the counselee cannot understand the matters and reasons, such as the fallacy of thinking problems, and not being able to do it. However, philosophical counseling can guide the counselee to logical thinking by the viewpoints of recognizing the matters and reasons. The third part of this paper will discuss on two possible approaches to eliminating the problem of “stagnation”: 1) on the inner side, organizing and illuminating the feelings in emotional world, such as callousness, anger, and inability to do anything; 2) on the external side, refuting the false inference and thought, such as to awake the consciousness, to take action after considering the human feelings, to indicate reasonable risks. The last part is conclusion. When facing straitened circumstances, each counselee has both subjective and objective viewpoints. On the one hand, under the subjective cognition of counselee, difficult situation means everything does not turn out the way he or she thought. Adverse situation, on the other hand, means the objective situation is not in accordance with counselee’s wish. By examining the problem of “stagnation” from which every counselee suffered, and the two viewpoints of every counselee when facing straitened circumstances, this paper finds that, definitely it can make modern people reflect that the straitened circumstance is not to make people become a person of noble character or virtue; instead, being suffered from straitened circumstance, it makes people know themselves more profoundly, and then illuminates their sense and reason. Therefore, in conclusion, the philosophical counseling can eliminate the problem of stagnation, and definitely it can provide modern people with the different way of thinking.

Speech, Narrative, and Body — The Image of ‘Solitariness’ in the Zhuangzi —

Ying-Fen Su 강원대학교 인문과학연구소 2014 Journal of Humanities Therapy Vol.5 No.-

Wording’ has a special meaning in the Zhuangzi. The application of allegory, of sayings from valued elders, and of expedient illustrations occupies a great amount of the text. Through speech, narrative, and the body, we can express ourselves, communicate with others, and have a connection with the world. This essay first discusses ‘speech’. Through relativistic wording (knowing/unknowing; wake/sleep), an over-simplified and formal binarism can be dissected. Comparative wording (drive 駕/ride 乘) and metaphoric wording (ride 乘/roam 遊) can manifest the position, speech, narrative, and existential inquiry of the speaker. On the one hand, the philosophical wording of the Zhuangzi presents the cycle of speech/narrative. On the other hand, the cognitive boundary is expanded like a ripple through the cycle of speech/narrative. On the one hand, with the doctrine of reduction, the unnecessary part is stripped off again and again till only an essential existence remains. On the other hand, reference for the dimension is thus extended via interdisciplinary thinking. Secondly, this essay proceeds to discuss ‘narrative’. This includes the concentration of one’s will: the source field (concrete—I/nose) is oriented to a target area (abstract—self/origin). It also includes the metaphor of looking into a mirror: when one tries to transcend oneself, one will find that one is at the same time involved with oneself so one is free to reflect on oneself (simply surrender without harboring any selfish intentions). Thirdly, this essay talks about ‘body’. From the viewpoint of bodily self-awareness (nourishing the body (Zhuangzi: Man in the World)— nourishing the bird with what one uses to nourish oneself but not with the nourishment proper for a bird (Zhuangzi: Ultimate Bliss), (Zhuangzi: The Full Understanding of Life)—and of the ability of putting things into practice (relational participation / the connection of ethical thinking), this essay reflects upon the wandering path of visualization (enlightenment 明/observation 觀/reflection 照/ cripple 獨). It is heaven that makes this man crippled; man’s appearance is endowed by heaven (Zhuangzi: Way to Living a Good Life). Finally, this essay seeks to prove that the cycle of speech, narrative, and body is demonstrated in the image of the word ‘solitariness/獨’ in the philosophy of the Zhuangzi, and has the dual aspect of a speech act which is overt yet covert, in action yet in existence at the same time.

Another Way of Thinking of the Modern Group-Self Relationship: The Dimension of Humanistic Healing of “Existential Experience” in the Zhuangzi

Ying-Fen Su 강원대학교 인문과학연구소 2015 Journal of Humanities Therapy Vol.6 No.2

This essay firstly discusses the dilemmas of the modern group-self relationship: one, a self-centered alienation; two, a lost self-worldview. Secondly, this essay proceeds to explicate the meanings of the “existential experience” in the Zhuangzi: one, solitariness without leaving the group; two, prehension of reality. Finally, via philosophical counseling, this essay presents another way of thinking of the modern group-self relationship from the viewpoint of the dimension of humanistic healing of “existential experience” in the Zhuangzi: one, contentment with the group; two, encounter of the heart.

Polymorphisms of TERT and CLPTM1L and the Risk of Hepatocellular Carcinoma in Chinese Males

Su, Ling-Yan,Li, Xue-Lian,Shen, Li,Zhang, Yue,Zhao, Meng-Meng,Yin, Zhi-Hua,Su, Hong-Ying,Zhou, Bao-Sen Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention 2014 Asian Pacific journal of cancer prevention Vol.15 No.19

Background: Telomerase reverse transcriptase (TERT) and cleft lip and palate trans-membrane 1 like (CLPTM1L) genes located on chromosome 5p15.33 are known to influence the susceptibility to various cancers. Here, we examined the association of TERT and CLPTM1L single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Materials and Methods: Genotyping of TERT SNP rs2736098 and CLPTM1L SNP rs401681 was performed using TaqMan allelic discrimination assays in a case-control study of 201 HCC cases and 210 controls in a Chinese male population. Odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were estimated using logistic regression analyses. Results: Both the rs2736098 T allele of TERT and the rs401681 T allele of CLPTM1L were associated with a significantly increased risk of HCC (adjusted odds ratio [OR]=1.605, 95% confidence interval [CI]=1.164-2.213; adjusted OR=1.399, 95%CI=1.002-1.955, respectively). Individuals carrying both TERT and CLPTM1L risk genotypes had an even higher risk of HCC (adjusted OR=4.420, 95%CI= 2.319-8.425). The TERT rs2736098 T allele was also significantly associated with the level of the HCC clinical indicator alpha-fetoprotein (P=0.026). Conclusions: Our results show that genetic variants of TERT and CLPTM1L may contribute to HCC susceptibility in Chinese males.

Research on surface settlement prediction based on the combination prediction model of S-shaped growth curves

Ying Su,Xiaoqin Wang,Yuanyuan Fu,Xianjun Zheng,Gaoshuai You 한국자원공학회 2018 Geosystem engineering Vol.21 No.4

After studying the development law of surface settlement induced by excavation of foundation pit and the characteristics of the settlement curve, the paper introduces the idea of combination forecasting based on S-shaped growth curves and establishes the weight combination prediction model, which is applied to the actual project to verify the rationality of the model. Results show that the model cannot only reflect the settlement development process along with time, but also predict the surface settlement accurately. In addition, the combination prediction model is more superior to other single ones, and provides an effective and practical method for surface settlement forecasting.
