A good education system is one of the policies of the state evolution and will deeply effect the national competitive ability. Among them, the medicine education carries to undertake the responsibility of nurturing the professional manpower of medical treatment. The doctor's education promotes the citizen¡¦s health maintenance and quality of life. Since the national health insurance carried out and parts of personnel of health care bring into the Labor Standards Law on March 1995, management environment of hospital gradually deteriorates. In order to respond the management dilemma of this upheaval, in addition to strengthenning the grasp of the personnel cost, must still support certain service quality of health care. Nowadays the organization of the hospital is an organization that belongs to the highly professional degree in the health care industry of Taiwan. Each section is very independent, and the doctor has the predominant leading role. Not only the decision maker of the hospital, but also the most important role of facing the patient. Under the limited resource, if the hospital wants to continuously grow, it is most important to establish a sturdy system to inspire the doctors to devote themselves in the hospital affairs, which will raise work results, health care qualities, and outlast in the increasingly vigorous market of the health care. This study ( interview ) taken by the resident doctors and interns of the Kaohsiung Medical University ¡®Hsiao-Kang Hospital, consist of structural questionnaires. 290 questionnaires were released and 157 were returned, and analyzed by statistical methods: t-test analysis of independence, analysis of variance, Pearson¡¦s production-moment correlation, and multiple regression etc. The results confirm several important discoveries as following: 1. In the analysis of variances of different factors, we find: (1) Intern¡¦s sensation of the expert knowledge and skill are higher than resident doctor. (2) In different rank, the male doctor¡¦s job outer-satisfaction is far precious sight more than female doctor. 2. To analysis the relationship of the perception of rotation trainning, job satisfaction and organization commitment, we find the following phenomenon: (1) The higher perception in the doctor¡¦s perception of rotation trainning, the more job satisfaction they will have. (2) The higher job satisfaction they have, the higher organizational commitment they will have to the hospital. (3) The job satisfaction has mediating effect between the doctor¡¦s perception of rotation trainning and organizational commitment. 3. The higher perception of rotation trainning, the more job satisfaction work doctor will have. The hospital clinic trainning section should pay more attention and set up a program emphasizing a set of healthy doctor's rotation system. Planning doctor's rotation in advance, and evaluate job satisfaction, will get a positive impact to doctor¡¦s job satisfaction. 4. To emphasis the doctor's job rotation and aggressively arrange the doctor's clinical trainning, normalize and be fair to the promotion system, and fairly carry on the doctor's rotation, the doctor will believe deeply to be alongside of the hospital goal and value. Then they will put forth more efforts for the favor of the hospital.

Messung von Rotation und differentieller Rotation für mehr als 20.000 aktive Kepler-Sterne.

This thesis presents a study of a 1.6 metre square, helium-neon based ring laser gyroscope (denoted PR-1). This device is mounted on one of the internal walls of a high rise building. After optimisation a cavity Q of 2.9x10¹¹ and a sensitivity to rotation of approximately 10⁻³ of the background Earth bias was obtained. A detailed investigation of the single mode operating regime and multi-mode thresholds was undertaken and could be well accounted for with a simple model of the gain curves. A key feature of the operation of PR-1 is persistent longitudinal mode hopping. It is shown that by running the laser at selective high powers, one obtains CW mode locked operation thereby negating the influence of mode hopping and allowing for long time data acquisition. PR-1 was used to demonstrate oscillation of the Rutherford building on its second fundamental mode during an earthquake. In a separate investigation, a range of supermirrors were studied to determine the optimum configuration in a 4 by 4 metre ring laser. The set with the highest finesse prevailed despite the comparatively low light levels on the photo detectors. The geometric stability of the lasers was not found to be a significant factor.

La rotation a un impact majeur sur la structure et l'évolution des étoiles. En particulier, elle est connue pour être responsable de processus de mélanges macroscopiques des éléments chimiques et de transport de moment cinétique au sein des zones radiatives des étoiles. Dans la première partie de cette thèse, nous montrons comment l'état actuel de la modélisation stellaire justifie une nouvelle approche bi-dimensionnelle qui ne repose pas sur les hypothèses usuelles de rotation faible ou de rotation différentielle sphérique. Nous développons, dans la deuxième partie, un modèle simplifié (approximation de Boussinesq) d'étoiles en rotation rapide, en deux dimensions, où la rotation différentielle qui s'instaure et la circulation méridienne associée sont calculées de manière cohérente. Nous y identifions les paramètres pertinents à la description de l'écoulement induit par une contraction gravitationnelle dans un environnement stratifié de manière stable. Dans la troisième partie, nous démontrons que cet écoulement de spin-up l'emporte sur l'écoulement barocline à l'issue d'un temps de Kelvin-Helmholtz. La rotation différentielle adopte un profil universel cylindrique et la circulation méridienne est celle d'un écoulement de spin-up. Une couche de Stewartson s'établit aussi sur le cylindre tangent au noyau du modèle et pourrait être la source d'un couplage efficace de la rotation du noyau et de celle de l'enveloppe d'une étoile en fin de Séquence Principale. Dans la dernière partie de cette thèse, nous étudions Achernar, étoile en rotation rapide de type Be à l'aide du code compressible ESTER. Les modèles obtenus tendent à montrer que l'étoile est en contraction gravitationnelle post-Séquence Principale. Pour en rendre compte, le code ESTER a été modifié afin de suivre l'évolution chimique de l'étoile sur une échelle de temps nucléaire. / Rotation greatly impacts stellar structure and evolution. Particularly, it is known to be responsible of macroscopic mixings of chemical elements and transport of angular momentum within the radia­tive zones of stars. In the first part of this thesis, we show how the actual state of stellar modeling calls for a bi-dimensional approach going beyond usual assumptions of slow rotation and spherical differential rotation. We develop, in the second part of this thesis, a simplified model (Boussinesq approximation) of rapidly rotating stars in two dimensions, where the establishing differential rotation and associated meridional circulation are solved self-consistently. We describe the relevant parameters of the flow induced by a gravitational contraction in a stably stratified environment. In the third part, we demonstrate that this spin-up flow outweighs the baroclinic flow on a Kelvin-Helmholtz timescale. The differential rotation adopts an universal cylindrical profile and the meridional circulation is typical of the spin-up flow. A Stewartson layer appears too upon the tangent cylinder to the core and could explain an efficient coupling between the rotation of the core and the one of the envelope for stars at the end of the Main Sequence. In the last part of this thesis, we study Achernar, a rapidly rotating Be star, with the full-compressible ESTER code. Models we obtain tend to show that the star is undergoing a post Main Sequence gravitational contraction. To account this, the ESTER code has been modified to follow the chemical evolution of stars on a nuclear timescale.

This work investigates some aspects of the dynamics of non-invertible quasi-periodic circle maps, from the point of view of rotation numbers and their structure in parameter space.Circle maps and quasi-periodically forced circle maps have been widely used asa model for a broad range of physical phenomena. From the mathematical point of view they have also received considerable attention because of the many interesting features they exhibit.The system used is given by the maps: x_n = [ x_n-1 + a + b/(2pi) sin( 2pi x_n-1) + c sin( 2pi theta_n-1) ] mod 1, and, theta_n = theta_n-1 + omega.Where a, b and c are real constants. In addition, b and omega are restricted, respectively, to values larger than one and irrational.A fundamental part of this thesis consists of numerical approximations of rotation intervals using and adapting of the work of Boyland (1986) to the quasi-periodic case.Particular emphasis was given to the case of large coupling strength in quasi-periodicforcing.Examination of the computed rotation numbers for the large coupling case, together with previous claims suggesting that for large coupling strength the b-term could be neglected (see Ding (1989)), led to the formulation of an ergodic argument which is statistically supported. This argument indicates that, for this case, the qualitative behavior of rotation number depends linearly on a. It is also shown that the length of the rotation interval, when the transition from a trivial rotation interval (invertible case) to a non-trivial rotation interval occurs, it develops locally as a universal unfolding.A different map, piecewise monotone, and structurally similar to the maps defined to calculate the edges of rotation intervals in Boyland (1986), is studied to illustrate how the rotation number grows. The edges of rotation intervals are analytically calculated and matched with numerical observations.

Seismic isolation, in which a flexible layer is used to separate a structure from the ground below, is a proven method for reducing earthquake demands that has been recently introduced into the 2015 Canadian building code. Typical installations of seismic isolation use rigid diaphragms to bound the end plates of the isolators, which is easily implemented in new build scenarios but requires extensive excavation and foundation work in retrofit applications. An alternative form of isolation involves placing the isolation plane on top of first floor columns, potentially resulting in flexible boundary conditions. There have been very few experimental programs that mimic these flexible boundary conditions. To address conditions that may be found in column-top isolation design schemes, such as flexible framing and lightly axially loaded corner bearings, an experimental program on a quarter-scale column-top isolation system was conducted. The goals of the investigation were to investigate how rotations of both top and bottom bearing end plates impact key design assumptions such as horizontal stiffness, rotational stiffness, and stability, and how these effects change with axial load. Experimental findings showed that flexible boundary conditions reduce horizontal stiffness based on the sum of rotation at the ends, regardless of the rotation of one bearing end plate with respect to the other. This decrease is dependent on axial load, with more axial load leading to a higher decrease in horizontal stiffness. The rotational stiffness significantly decreases with bearing shear strain and models that use linear, elastic rotational springs underrepresent rotations at the boundaries. Lastly, traditionally used design limits for stability can be used for bearings of moderate shape factor (S1 = 19.6 used in testing) bounded by flexible framing, but these theoretical limits can overestimate the experimental determined limits by nearly double for bearings of low shape factors (S1 = 7.9 used in testing). / Thesis / Master of Applied Science (MASc) / Seismic isolation, in which a flexible layer is used to separate a structure from the ground below, is a proven method for reducing earthquake demands that has been recently introduced into Canadian building code.

Bakgrund: Innan rotationskrav för revisorer har hunnit cementeras och ge utslag, har Regeringen i ett nytt betänkande lagstadgat även krav för rotation för byråer. Krav på byrårotation uppkom som en proposition efter finanskrisen 2008, som ett led i att strama åt regelverket för revisionsbyråer. Den Europeiska kommissionen skriver i sitt betänkande att även om de huvudansvariga revisorerna byts ut med jämna mellanrum kvarstår risken för en jävsituation. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka hur revisionsbyråer, kunder och myndigheter förhåller sig till obligatorisk byrårotation. Vi kommer även att studera hur marknaden för revision ändras, samt studera hur en revisionsbyrå ur ”The Big Four” kommer att förbereda sig inför denna lagförändring. Frågeställningar: Hur kommer byrårotation att inverka på revisionskvalitén för börsnoterade företag och finansiella företag av allmänt intresse? Hur förbereder en revisionsbyrå ur ”The Big Four” sig inför byrårotation? Vilka effekter kan byrårotation ha på marknadsstrukturen? Metod: Studien utgörs av en fallstudie där obligatorisk byrårotation studeras ur tre perspektiv. Studien baseras på ett antal befintliga teorier, varför studiens bearbetas utifrån den deduktiva ansatsen. Primärdata samlas in genom semi-strukturerade intervjuer, där respondenterna har valts ut efter olika kriterier, beroende på perspektiv. Empiri: Tre myndigheter, tre kunder och en revisionsbyrå har varit föremål för våra intervjuer, där vi tematiskt redogör för deras uttalanden. Slutsats: Byrårotation kommer att leda till att revisorn blir mer oberoende, då mandatperioden inte tillåter att nära relationer bildas och på grund av vitesbeloppets omfattning. Revisionen kommer inte kosta mer, med anledning av att det kommer att bli en kamp mellan byråerna om uppdragen. Vi har identifierat tre möjliga marknadseffekter av byrårotation, där kartelliknande verksamheter är en möjlig utgång. Revisionsbyråernas verksamheter kommer att bli mer likt de internationellas, där rådgivningstjänster utgör den största delen. En viktig konsekvens av byrårotation kan vara att bolag roterar byrå vid kritiska tidpunkter, vilket kan skada bolaget ytterligare. Bolag bör kunna flagga vid sådana tidpunkter, för att kunna förlänga rotationen parallellt med den nytillträdda i början av uppdraget.
