The Research of Local Democracy in Taiwan-A Case of Ping-lin Township of Taipei County Government

Cheng, Su-ling 08 September 2005 (has links)
Abstract This research will mainly study the Ping-Ling Freeway Plebiscite Act and the Ping-Ling County River and Fish Protection Act. The thesis adopts the logic of collective action and the analytic path of the resource mobilization theory and approval theory, which are derived from the collective action and social action theories. The research will further analyze the cause, process, effect and obstacles, of the Ping-Ling Plebiscite Action and River and Fish Protection Act. By observing the two actions, conclusions can then be drawn on the relationship between the regional collective action and the regional democracy. In the research, it is noted that a political elite, who is also an initiator, organizer as well as spokesperson, plays a significant role in the behavior of collective action. The Ping-Ling Plebiscite and the River and Fish Protection Act, with the leadership and power of the political elite added to hold, construct a systematic mechanism such as the Fish Protection Patrol Party. The politic elite will provide the residents theory discourse for use in participating collective action. Throughout the process of the regional residents participating in collective action, there will be great benefits to the democratic development in the region. From the process of actively participating in the regional affairs, the residents will develop new perspectives, and thus have positive on the development of regional civism. It is also discovered in the study that the factional structure of Ping-Ling County is gradually changing. The phenomenon of faction predominating the residents¡¦ power of political life is gradually diminishing. The residents now cast their votes based on the candidates¡¦ ability and contribution to the region and much less based on faction. It is shown that regional democracy can be radicated and practiced through collective action, and this can be a possible approach for every region¡¦s municipals push.

The Choreography from the Perspective of Political Environment ¡VBased on Lin Huai-Ming's Works in Cloud Gate Dance Company

Lo, Yen-fen 04 February 2007 (has links)
Politics, economics and social conditions often have great influences on the development of culture and Art. Moreover, politics can lead to economic growth and rapid change of society. In another word, the political environment has directly impact on the development of culture and Art. This study investigates whether the external factor-political environment affects the process of choreography which should be simply conveying artists¡¦ personal images. Thus artists revise the original ideas and styles of choreography due to this factor. This exploration of the relationship between the change of Taiwan history and the development of Art has been done from the point of view of Art sociology. It uses Cloud Gate and its founder-Lin Huai-Ming as an example. Cloud Gate Dance Company is the first contemporary dance company in Taiwan with the largest scheme and the most well-rounded facilities. The creative ideas of Lin Huai-Ming have profound influences on the style of Cloud Gate Dace Company. Through probing into references and interviews, the author inquires the following facts.1.The influence of Lin Huai-Ming on Cloud Gate Dance Company.2.The relationship between Lin Huai-Ming¡¦s choreography and the political environment.3.Discovering the process of the myth of Cloud Gate established in Taiwan society .

La metafora in Aristotele: dal pensiero al linguaggio / The Metaphor in Aristotle: from Thought to Utterance

SOZZI, ANDREA 01 April 2009 (has links)
Svariati contributi comparsi negli ultimi decenni hanno avviato la parziale rilettura del pensiero linguistico di Aristotele. Su queste premesse, lo studio si propone, a partire dall’analisi dei testi più significativi, di ricostruire una teoria della metafora coerente con il resto del sistema filosofico aristotelico. Aristotele concepisce la metafora come un fatto di lingua, e ne delinea le principali caratteristiche e funzioni all’interno della comunicazione. Per Aristotele, tuttavia, la metafora è anche il segno del processo mentale che l’ha prodotta. Il pensiero metaforico, che soggiace alla metafora intesa semplicemente come tropo, è un’attività cognitiva che si fonda sulla capacità umana di cogliere la somiglianza. A sua volta, il vedere ciò che è simile è una capacità che precede il linguaggio, ma tuttavia si connette inevitabilmente ad esso sul piano sia analogico che logico, nel momento del concepimento di un giudizio. Il processo metaforico è dunque uno strumento di conoscenza che, procedendo dal pensiero al linguaggio, permette all’uomo di cogliere le relazioni tra gli enti, mettendolo a sua volta in relazione con il mondo. / Several studies have recently started a partial reinterpretation of Aristotle’s linguistics. Moving from these premises, this work tries to rebuild Aristotle’s theory of metaphor, in conformity with his philosophy and the analysis of his most relevant papers. Aristotle conceives metaphor a fact of language, and defines metaphor most important features and functions in relationship with communication. Nevertheless Aristotle means metaphor as a sign of the psychical process that produces it. Metaphorical thought, which is in our mind and which we can understand looking through the trope of metaphor, is a cognitive process, based on the human capability of catching similarity. Seeing what is similar is a capability that precedes utterance, but nevertheless it is connected to the language in an analogical and logical way every time we make an assertion. Metaphorical action is a cognitive appliance that, proceeding from thought to utterance, makes man capable of understanding relationships between things, and brings man himself in relationship with the world.

Analyse et modélisation de la levée sous croûte. Contribution à l'amélioration du modèle SIMPLE

Gallardo-Carrera, Aude 14 December 2006 (has links) (PDF)
Le modèle SIMPLE prévoit les levées de différentes cultures. Il comporte un module de prévision des levées sous croûte empirique, basé sur l'observation de levées de betterave sucrière dans un réseau de parcelles pour un type de sol de limons argileux. Ce module est donc assez sommaire bien qu'efficace et l'objectif de ce travail était de pouvoir étendre les prévisions à d'autres conditions de semis et pour d'autres cultures (types de lits de semences, types de sols, différentes caractéristiques des semences) étant donné l'importance des problèmes de levée liés au développement de croûtes à la surface des lits de semences de différentes cultures. Nous avons entrepris de caractériser les types de franchissement des plantules (pénétration, rupture et passage par fissure) au champ face à différents types de croûtes pour des cultures de printemps (betterave, lin et haricot) et d'automne (blé). Nous avons caractérisé sur ces mêmes parcelles la dynamique de formation des croûtes pour les différents états initiaux des lits de semences (granulométrie, humidité au semis) en fonction des pluies cumulées depuis le semis, en complétant les observations de nos deux campagnes d'expérimentation par celles acquises sur un essai de longue durée. Les croûtes ont été caractérisées par leur faciès, leur épaisseur et leur résistance à la pénétration. Des quantités de pluies cumulées, allant de 11 mm pour des lits de semences fins et secs à 27 mm pour des états de surface grossiers ont été mises en évidence pour obtenir la formation de croûtes structurales, qui suffisent déjà à pénaliser les levées si elles se dessèchent. Des expérimentations complémentaires ont été menées au laboratoire pour obtenir sous simulateur de pluie et caractériser des stades plus avancés de croûtes non observés au cours des deux années d'expérimentation au champ. Nous avons quantifié l'évolution du réseau de fissures se formant en fonction du degré de dégradation et des alternances humectation-dessication. Ces données ont permis de paramétrer et tester des modèles géométriques d'apparition de fissures. Les forces exercées par les plantules et leurs variations au cours du temps en fonction de la masse, des variétés et des espèces étudiées ont été mesurées avec des capteurs de force au laboratoire. Les différents éléments acquis par ces expérimentations ont permis d'élaborer un module intégrant des facteurs de variations non pris en compte jusqu'alors pour prévoir la formation d'une croûte et les levées. Ce module intègre des états initiaux de lits de semences variés (structure et teneur en eau), des cumuls de pluie différenciés aboutissant à des stades successifs de formation de la croûte. A chaque type de croûte est associé une distribution de résistances caractéristique. Pour chaque plantule arrivant à la surface, sa force maximum est tirée au sort dans une distribution puis diminue avec l'âge de la plantule. Cette valeur est confrontée jour après jour à la résistance du matériau via un coefficient qui permet d'établir si la plante passe ou reste bloquée. Ce coefficient résulte d'un ajustement aux données observées. Il a été établi sur la betterave, culture pour laquelle les données les plus nombreuses et précises étaient enregistrées. Les premières simulations réalisées à l'aide de ce nouveau module indiquent l'importance des effets des états du lit de semences initiaux sur les taux de levées. L'effet de différences de forces dues aux masses des semences est plus limité mais non négligeable dans certaines situations. On a ensuite testé la possibilité de l'utiliser pour prévoir la levée d'autres cultures, dont la force avait été mesurée. L'extension à d'autres espèces donne des résultats encourageants mais nécessite un travail supplémentaire. La possibilité d'utiliser différents paramètres mesurés au laboratoire sur le sol pour pouvoir adapter le modèle proposé à d'autres types de sol est discutée.

Strolling in "Coral Grove": Yuan Hongdao's Shan Hu Lin and the Revival of Chan Buddhism in the Wanli Period (1573-1620)

Zi, Xin January 2013 (has links)
Yuan Hongdao was an eminent leader of the Gong'an school in the literary circles during the Wanli Reign of the Ming Dynasty. Inevitably influenced by the trend of thought supported by the Confucian scholars who followed Wang Yangming's (1472-1529) intellectual movement of "learning of the mind" and "innate knowing", which was closely correlated with the reinvention of Chan Buddhism, Yuan Hongdao became an advocate of free expression of innate sensibility and an expert in Chan meditation. The Shan hu lin was an expression of Yuan Hongdao's thoughts on Chan practice and self-cultivation and bore a deep meaning of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Daoism. This thesis reveals Yuan Hongdao's association with Chan Buddhism, examines the writing of the Shan hu lin, and analyzes its textual content, in order to demonstrate the revival of Chan Buddhism in the literati circle during the late Ming period.

PARTS CONSTITUTE A WHOLE. CHAMBER MUSIC (1907) FUCINA DEL MAGNUM OPUS JOYCIANO

COLOMBO, GERALDINA 28 April 2014 (has links)
Questa tesi si propone di analizzare la raccolta poetica Chamber Music di James Joyce, pubblicata a Londra nel 1907. Al centro dei sei capitoli dello studio si colloca l’analisi testuale della raccolta, da cui emerge che essa costituisce il centro dell’opus joyciano nella sua interezza. Questa prima raccolta poetica, cioè, solitamente trascurata dalla critica letteraria joyciana, poiché ritenuta di minore pregio artistico rispetto ai successivi capolavori in prosa dello scrittore, pare porre le fondamenta del percorso tematico-espressivo che la prosa (lirica) di Joyce avrebbe poi sviluppato, evolvendosi lungo una traiettoria circolare, ricca di richiami inter/intra-testuali. Si è riconosciuta, in particolare, nella struttura interna della raccolta, una progressiva integrazione di più codici letterari-culturali, risultante in una compresenza di livelli semantico-espressivi, significativa del sincretismo culturale-stilistico tipicamente joyciano. La vicenda di Chamber Music, così, non è riletta solo quale storia d’amore stereotipata, sull’esempio dei canzonieri elisabettiani, ma anche come processo di evoluzione personale e stilistica del protagonista, lover e poet insieme, che rappresenta il primo alter ego letterario joyciano. / This dissertation aims to analyse James Joyce’s first poetic collection, Chamber Music, published in London in 1907. The core of the six chapters of the study is represented by the textual analysis of the collection, from which we infer that Chamber Music constitutes the nucleus of the Joycean opus in its entirety. The collection, usually neglected by Joycean criticism, as it is regarded as the minor aspect of Joyce’s literary production, if compared to the writer’s recognised prose masterpieces, seems to lay the foundations of the thematic and expressive course then developed by Joyce’s (lyrical) prose, evolving along a circular trajectory, rich in inter/intra-textual references. In particular, within the internal structure of the collection, we did identify a progressive integration of more literary-cultural codes, resulting in the coexistence of several semantic-expressive levels, representative of Joyce’s characteristic cultural-stylistic syncretism. The plot of Chamber Music, then, is not simply read as a stereotyped love affair, modelled on Elisabethan songbooks, but also as the process of personal and stylistic evolution of its protagonist, both lover and poet, being representative of Joyce’s first literary alter ego. KEYWORDS: James Joyce; Chamber Music; poetry; lyrical prose.

Traduzione e Discorso Medico: il Ruolo del Traduttore nel Processo di Composizione degli Articoli di Ricerca Medici. / TRANSLATION AND MEDICAL DISCOURSE: THE CHANGING ROLE OF THE TRANSLATOR IN THE COMPOSITION PROCESS OF MEDICAL RESEARCH ARTICLES

SPANO, MARCELLA 03 March 2010 (has links)
La presente ricerca ha come obiettivo l’analisi del ruolo del traduttore specializzato nel processo di composizione degli articoli di ricerca medici. In particolare, si occupa dell’analisi degli interventi di revisione di due traduttori specializzati, rispettivamente di madrelingua italiana e di madrelingua inglese, su cinque articoli di ricerca scritti da autori italiani in lingua inglese, successivamente pubblicati su riviste internazionali. L’analisi viene affrontata da duplice punto di vista qualitativo e quantitativo. I risultati individuano il tipo di intervento che ogni traduttore realizza nei testi. Inoltre, la ricerca evidenzia nell’intervento del traduttore di madrelingua italiana l’uso di strutture lessicali e fraseologiche meno frequenti nel discorso medico. È quindi possibile concludere che lo studio del processo di revisione del traduttore nella composizione degli articoli di ricerca medici rappresenta un valido strumento per l’analisi dell’uso della lingua inglese nelle comunità di ricerca multilingue. / This dissertation describes the role of the specialized translator in the process of the composition of medical research articles. The dissertation investigates the revisions of two specialized translators, respectively Italian and English native speakers, in five medical research articles written by Italian doctors in English and subsequently published in international specialised medical journals. An analysis of the revisions performed by the native and non-native speakers is undertaken using qualitative and quantitative research methods. The results of this analysis describe the respective changes that each translator makes to the texts, and explains how the final text is mediated differently by native and non-native speaking translators. The research highlights that the Italian translator introduces lexical and phraseologic features that are less frequently used in medical discourse. I conclude that this has implications for understanding the way in which English is used in multi-lingual research communication, and suggest that the study of the intervention of the translator in the process of medical research article composition is a useful way of analysing the developing profile of the use of English in multi-lingual research communities.

Comportement et rupture de fibres cellulosiques lors de leur compoundage avec une matrice polymère

Le Duc, Anne 20 December 2013 (has links) (PDF)
L'objectif de ce travail de thèse, réalisé dans le cadre de la Chaire Industrielle Bioplastiques financée par Mines ParisTech et Arkema, l'Oreal, Nestle, PSA et Schneider Electric, est de fournir une étude systématique sur les relations entre les conditions opératoires du procédé de compoundage et la structure de biocomposites polypropylène/fibres lin et Tencel®. En particulier, le comportement et la rupture des fibres ont été étudiés de manière détaillée pendant la mise en œuvre à l'état fondu en mélangeur interne et par extrusion bivis.Les fibres ont été observées in-situ en écoulement dans la matrice grâce à un système rhéo-optique. Ainsi, il a été montré que la décohésion des faisceaux de lin est facilitée par un rapport de forme initial plus grand. La fragmentation des fibres résulte d'un phénomène de fatigue et est provoquée par l'accumulation des déformations et de l'énergie mécanique. Au niveau de leur point de rupture, les fibres de lin et de Tencel® se déchirent et fibrillent, alors que les fibres élémentaires de lin cassent près de leurs " genoux ". Des analyses de distributions de tailles des fibres après compoundage avec la matrice ont corroboré les observations rhéo-optiques. Lorsque les conditions de mélange sont sévères, chaque " genou " devient un point de rupture et la longueur finale des fibres de lin se retrouve être égale à la longueur moyenne entre les " genoux ". Les faisceaux de lin initialement plus courts ne se dissocient et ne se fragmentent que très peu. La rupture des fibres de lin est différente en fonction de leur taille initiale et ces fibres ne conduisent pas au même comportement rhéologique pour les composites. En revanche, pour les fibres unitaires Tencel®, la taille initiale n'a que très peu d'influence sur leurs dimensions finales, à condition que les fibres ne soient pas trop longues et trop difficiles à disperser. Le temps de mélange est apparu déterminant pour préserver le rapport de forme des fibres. La déformation cumulée s'est révélée être un meilleur paramètre que l'énergie mécanique spécifique pour décrire à la fois la rupture des fibres de lin et de Tencel®. Les propriétés mécaniques en traction uniaxiale ont enfin été caractérisées et mises en relation avec les conditions de mélange et les dimensions finales des fibres.
