A European project is gradually replacing the current train control systems to a mutual control system called as the European Railway Traffic Management System (ERTMS). I Sweden they have implemented the new train control system on a few train-lines in the northern part of Sweden. There has been reported problems from train drivers that have used the new control system, the problems consist of both negative affects on train performance and railroad capacity. This study is part of a larger project conducted by The Swedish National Road and Transport Research Institute, with an aim to investigate how the attention is affected in the new train control system compared to the Automatic Train Control (ATC) system. Data collection through eye-tracking have shown significant results in the distribution of visual glances inside and outside the cabin of the train. Drivers tend to distribute more and longer glances inside the train with the ERTMS. Drivers also tend to miss information presented on the track, such as signs informing when to make a sound before an unattended level crossing. These results suggest that ERTMS could have a negative impact on the drivers situation awareness and also could have a negative affect on the drivers attention that impacts the ability to notice what is happening outside the cabin. / I dagsläget utförs ett projekt i Europa med syfte att ersätta nuvarande tågskyddssystem till ett gemensamt signalsystem kallat ERTMS (European Railway Traffic Management System). Detta nya system har implementerats på ett fåtal tåg-linjer i norra delen av Sverige. Olika problem har rapporterats från tågförare som använt det nya signalsystemet. Dessa problem innefattar negativ påverkan på prestation och järnvägens kapacitet. Denna studie är en del av ett större projekt hos Statens väg- och transportforskningsinstitut med ett syfte att studera hur uppmärksamhet påverkas i det nya tågskyddssystemet ERTMS jämfört med det nuvarande systemet ATC (Automatic Train Control). Data som samlades in via eye-tracking har visat signifikanta resultat i fördelning av visuella blickar inne i och utanför tågets kabin. Förare tenderar att fördela mer och även längre blickar inuti tågets kabin med ERTMS. Dessutom tenderar förare att missa information som presenteras ute på spåret, detta kan exempelvis vara information som påvisar att tuta innan ett obevakat övergångsställe. Dessa resultat föreslår att ERTMS kan ha en negativ påverkan på förares uppmärksamhet vilket kan påverka förarens förmåga att bli varse om vad som händer utanför kabinen, på spåret.

學術研究機構向來是科技創新的主要動力來源，許多與人類生活息息相關的發明多半來自於學術研究機構此一孕育創新的搖籃。此外，一個國家的學術研究能量往往也反映了該國的技術能力與競爭力，因此世界各國無不投注大量資源於大專院校及研究機構，期望除了學術產出之外，亦能將原始的創新概念透過研發活動轉化為智慧財產，並進一步將其商業化，滿足市場需求，實現知識之最大價值。 我國之學術研究能量並不落於美、歐、日等主要技術領先國之後，從我國政府投注於學術研發活動之經費、歷年發表於SCI、EI等期刊論文以及取得美國專利之數量等科技發展成果指標便可說明此點，然我國於1999年通過與美國拜杜法案意義相當之科技基本法至今已滿九年，各學研機構之專利申請量雖有成長之勢，然而2007年實際之智慧財產權收益卻僅佔研發總投入費用的0.87%；2005年全國技術貿易額收支比僅達0.23，與美、日、英等國相較，實可謂差強人意，顯見我國在研發成果商業化上已面臨一定瓶頸。 在知識大爆炸方興未艾的二十一世紀，可以預見的是將有越來越多的研發成果持續產出，學研機構花費於取得並維護智慧財產之費用亦將持續提高，如何在產出的眾多研發成果及專利中，篩選出真正有商業化潛力之標的，以將有限的人力、時間、資金等資源投注於其上並轉化為實質的經濟效益，將是學研機構進行研發成果商業化時的重要課題；此外，在學研機構法人化之潮流下，若未來大學等學研單位須自行負擔大部份資金之籌措時，此一評估機制將更顯重要。另，在資訊高度不對稱的情況下，技術需求方難以辨認技術供給方之技術是否為適合之交易標的，因此若能建立一套商業化可行性評估機制，亦能使雙方間之資訊交流更為順暢，促進技術之移轉與商業化。 因此，本研究嘗試提出一研發成果商業化可行性評估機制，以供學研機構進行內部評估，使國內「悶住」的研發能量得以透過有效的評估機制而活化。又，由於不同科技領域所適用之商業化可行性評估方式將有所差異，而生物科技領域為二十一世紀科技發展中之重要領域，且列為政府政策下的重點發展產業之一，加以作者本身之相關學經歷背景，是以本研究選擇生物科技領域研發成果為討論之重點。 本研究分別從5W的角度來探討研發成果商業化可行性之評估機制，分別是進行商業化可行性評估之目的(Why)、進行商業化可行性評估之時點(When)、商業化可行性評估之執行者(Who)、評估所需資訊之取得(How)以及進行商業化可行性評估時所需考量之因素(What)，最後建立一研發成果商業化可行性評估機制，作為本研究之核心概念以及後續個案探討之依據。 此外，本研究針對研發成果商業化可行性評估之各項構面進行介紹，並提出學研機構於進行評估時在各構面應考量之重要項目與問題。依所建立之評估機制與架構流程，將評估構面分為技術、智慧財產、市場、法規與財務五大構面，並以技術與智慧財產構面為探討之重點。 由於本研究之研究對象為學術研究機構，且以生物科技領域為重心，故由大專院校、基礎研究機構及應用研究機構中各挑選一具代表性之單位作為個案研究對象，分別為國立陽明大學、中央研究院以及財團法人工業技術研究院，透過與各機構之研發成果管理專責單位進行訪談，深入了解其運作機制與現況，以期綜覽各類型學研機構之研發成果商業化可行性評估機制，並得出研究發現及建議。 根據個案研究之發現，本研究對於國內學研機構之整體建議，主要包括：研發成果商業化可行性評估機制應依機構之目的、性質、智財管理現況加以擬定；研發成果商業化可行性評估之構面應配合研發成果之性質及開發階段而設定，並以技術構面為基礎，智財構面為樞紐連結市場與法規構面之評估，最後以財務構面進行統合；而學研機構若欲採外部審查方式執行評估工作，須考量可能之缺失；此外，研發成果商業化可行性之評估應由具備跨領域能力之團隊加以執行，並應使具備產業經驗與市場背景之人員有一定程度之涉入；再者，生物科技領域研發成果因其本質上之特殊性，故於進行商業化可行性評估時，有諸多因素需加以考量；最後，政府可主動協助建立專業之機構或團隊，提供學研機構進行研發成果商業化可行性評估甚至後續之技術行銷服務，以有效符合規模經濟、範疇經濟與專業、客觀之考量。 / Academic and research institutes are the origins of technology innovation. Many of the significant inventions were devised in these cradles of innovation. Academic and research power can often indicates the technology capability and competency of a nation. Every government invests vast resources to universities and research institutes in order not only to make academic publication but also to realize the maximum value of the knowledge through converting the innovative ideas into intellectual properties (IP) and further commercializing the R&D achievements to meet the market needs. The academic researches in Taiwan can compete with the technological leading countries such as the U.S, Japan, and E.U. countries, in terms of some science and technology indicators like R & D expenditure, SCI / EI publications, and the number of U.S. patent granted. Nevertheless, the actual revenue generated by IP in 2007 was only account for 0.87% of the total R&D input and the coverage ratio of technology balance of payments was only 0.23 in 2005. The fact indicates that there were some barriers on the path of R&D commercialization in Taiwan. In the 21st century of knowledge explosion, it is predictable that more and more R&D achievements will be generated from academic institutes and the expenses devoted to the acquisition and protection of IP will keep rising. Therefore, it will become a critical issue in academic institutes to sieve out the targets of the higher commercial potential from numerous R&D results and patents so as to concentrate the time, human and financial resources on those targets for its further commercialization. Moreover, under the highly asymmetrical information situation during the technology trading, technology buyers have difficulty in identifying whether the technology is a suitable trading target or not. A well-established feasibility evaluation mechanism will also stimulate the interflow of information and promote the technology transfer and commercialization. Accordingly, this thesis will try to establish a feasibility evaluation mechanism (FEM) for commercialization of R&D achievements in academic institutes in order to activate the stuffy R&D energy in Taiwan. Biotechnology is one of the most important fields of technology in the 21st century and thus be the main concern of the discussion of this thesis. This thesis will investigate the feasibility evaluation mechanism for commercialization of R&D achievements on a “5W” basis, including the purposes of evaluation (why), the time of evaluation (when), the executives of evaluation (who), the information needed in the evaluation process (how), and the factors that should be taken into consideration in the evaluation process (what). Accordingly, a feasibility evaluation mechanism for commercialization of R&D achievements will be established as the central concept of this study and as the ground of follow-up case analysis. In addition, each aspects of feasibility evaluation as well as the significant issues and questions of each aspect will be illustrated in this study. According to the feasibility evaluation mechanism and framework established in this study, there are five main evaluation aspects including the technical aspect, intellectual property aspect, market aspect, legal aspect, and financial aspect. The main subjects of this study were the academic institutes in biotechnology field in Taiwan, the National Yang-Ming University, the Academia Sinica, and the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI). These institutes are chosen as the subjects of case study standing respectively for the higher education institute, basic research institute, and the applied research institute. By way of interviewing the personnel of R&D achievements and IPR management department in the institutes in question, the feasibility evaluation mechanism implemented by different types of academic institutes was investigated to delineate the key findings, followed up with some practical advices. The overall advices proposed by this study for the academic institutes in Taiwan were summarized as follows: (1) The feasibility evaluation mechanism for commercialization of R&D achievements should be devised in accordance with the purpose, the nature, and the IP management status of each institute. (2) The feasibility evaluation should be set to match up the development stage of the R&D achievements and take the technical aspect as the groundwork, IP aspect as the pivot connecting to the market and legal aspect, and the financial aspect as an integrated result. (3) Evaluation executed by external parties may be of some defects that should be taken into consideration. (4) The feasibility evaluation for R&D commercialization should be executed by multi-disciplinary team and the industry-experienced or market personnel should as well participate in the evaluation process. (5) Due to the characteristics of biotechnology, many special factors should be involved in the evaluation process. (6) The government may actively assist in setting up a professional organization or team to provide feasibility evaluation and even the further technology marketing services to meet the consideration of economies of scale/ scope, specialty, and objectivity.

本論文運用史學、統計與GIS繪圖法，自表至裏，自應用至體制，再至緣由，論述1895～1945年50年間臺灣預防接種史之開展、歷程與引發原因。論證臺灣人用疫苗發展歷史超過百年；日治時期臺灣住民已廣泛接種多量疫苗；臺灣諸免疫界變革不可忽視日本人事體制。 全文首先以法定之傳染病為例，論證疫苗在臺灣民間應用之普遍。首先論述最早在臺灣實施，作為全民接種開始，且採皮上切種之天花種痘，其官方制度演變、於民間推展方法、技術變革與臺日差距（少），以及從統計面所見之臺灣高接種率（社會高免疫力）、低天花感染率和死亡率，和1900年代一遇疫情風聲，即立刻實行臨時接種或擴大定期接種之防疫定制。其次論述血清型疾病預防注射。如1900年鼠疫接種，是臺灣最早由官方執行較大規模針式＼侵入性皮下預防注射之始。但1904年後因花費金額高、人體副作用大而少在臺灣實施。再如霍亂，1902年臺灣已應用霍亂血清，1916年較大規模實施＼實驗，1919～1920年國際霍亂大流行更極力推廣，兩年間，每年各有百餘萬人接種，是各地臺灣人普遍認識和接種預防注射針之始。1918～1920年流行性感冒，確切菌種和傳染原因等等均未知；但當第二波疫情較集中且嚴重時，官方已鼓勵配合副致死病因如肺炎球菌等，實施預防注射，與今日流感疫苗類似。其後，對霍亂或流感使用預防接種之防疫法，終日治結束均為常例。又如流行性腦脊髓膜炎，自1917年臺灣出現購買疫苗案例後，該疫苗自1920年代起即大量應用，1930年代後之接種人數更屢以十萬或百萬為單位。而臺灣1935年前所謂流行性腦炎或腦炎，常是指流行性腦脊髓膜炎；流行性腦炎或腦炎預防接種，實際指流行性腦脊髓膜炎接種。以上各種疫苗大量應用，至約1920年代已形成官方一遇疫情即立刻接種地積極、強力防疫定制，亦影響臺灣該等傳染病感染率和患者死亡率，以及官民對上述傳染病恐懼態度轉變。 繼應用面，本文次論人事、體制之制度面發展。首先，臺灣在1902～1905年，先後出現在臺灣設置血清藥院聲音、鼓勵細菌血清學研究、設置牛疫血清作業所、起議在臺實施全新生兒種痘和創設中央科學研究所。1916年開始製販血清疫苗，擇製本島常見菌種、強調「賣捌」非「販賣」，此後製品種類陸續增加。臺製疫苗亦供應沖繩和中國等等臺灣以外地區。1922年起，臺灣不再製造牛疫血清，改由朝鮮提供防疫之常備用品；1939年士林廠房完工，臺灣開始製造乾燥和精緻血清疫苗。另就中央衛生部人事和業績比較，細菌血清類研究和專任人力常多居各研究單位之首，1920年代達高峰；1930年代研究比重雖看似降低，然其負責人員數量、製劑內容和販賣數量，卻更深刻且快速進展，故臺灣中央一直重視免疫醫學或細菌學研究。而使臺灣於各階段發生細菌學興起、開始製販血清疫苗、研製機構體制和製品製程改變原因，首先，使細菌學、免疫學和血清研製機構在臺展開，首須歸因後藤新平和高木友枝等臺灣首長個人意識，以及其背後穩固之內務省衛生局（行政）、傳染病研究所（技術）和眾議會（審議）等人事資源和總體意向，並因人際網絡使臺灣得參酌美國作法。1916年臺灣開始製販血清疫苗，源自1914年傳研移管；擇製某類型製劑且限定專賣，則為前期人事派系延續和檢定制度便宜之計。傳承人事脈絡與社會局勢，再配合新發地政治社會需求，使1920年代後期起中央研究所人事漸變化，來自地方者再回歸地方，中央日益學術、大學化。最極致表現是1936～1939年中央研究所成為臺北帝大附屬和東大傳研化。此外，臺灣與海外各血清疫苗單位有連絡互通；臺灣是日本諸外地中最早大量製販各種血清疫苗者；也是日本國境內，極少數可以帝大附屬研究所之姿製販血清疫苗者。 / The dissertation aims to use historical data a long with GIS methods to explore the vaccination prevention to certain infectious diseases in colonial Taiwan (1895 – 1945). The smallpox vaccination was the earliest vaccination has been practiced in Taiwan. The change of polices and influstructure in cowpox manufacture revealed how the vaccination adminstration transformed and shaped local society. With the cowpox vaccine popularized, the immunity was gained as well as the low infection and mortality rate after 1910s implied its effectiveness. Secondly, the plague vaccination in 1900~1904 was the first big-scale preventive injection by the Taiwan official, but rarely injected after 1904 due to the high cost and side effects. following that, the cholera serum was often used in scale in 1916 which 3 million people received injecttion during 1919~1920, a period of cholera pandemic. One effective that cholera imunizationleft was that Taiwanese strated to accept needle injection a way of vaccinated prevention. The pandemic influenza invaded Taiwan in 1918~1921but the etiology was unknown currently. As the second wave of the epidemic occurred, the authorities began to pay attention and encouraged people to take injection from indirect causes of death such as pneumococcal. This injection strategy was applied in the whole Japanese ruled era. The epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, since its vaccination reported in 1917, was larger implemented in the 1920s, then greatly practiced after the 1930s. Furthermore, the epidemic encephalitis or encephalitis named after Taiwan before 1935 usually referred to the epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis. Therefore, the epidemic encephalitis or encephalitis vaccination actually meant the meningococcal meningitis vaccination. In general, most implementation of vaccination appeared around 1916 progressed in 1920s and prevalently practiced after the 1930s. The police of vaccination brought down the infection and mortality rate in Taiwan a long withthe attitude of acceptance to immunization injection among people. Furthermore, Taiwan set up a professional animal serum factory and established the Central Science Institute of Taiwan Governor in 1903. In 1916, Taiwan started to make and sell serums and vaccines to the public which indicated the vaccination were already prevalent among Taiwanese. The govenemnt monopolized the sale of vaccines and the products could however offer to China and other places. In 1939, Taiwan went a step further to manufacture the dried vaccine, toxoid, and anatoxin. The phenomenon above implied various meanings. First, the promotion of bacteriology, immunology and serum in Taiwan were based on personal commitment by Gotou Shinpei (1857-1929) and Takagi Tomoe (1858-1943). With their connection to the Bureau of Sanitation of the Ministry of Interior, the Institute of Infectious Diseases (Kitazato Shibasaburou, 1853-1931), and House of Representatives, their works might link to the Rockefeller Institute which brought strong trust to the developing of bacteriology. In 1916 the attempt to produce and sell vaccine was a side-effect deriving from the domentic friction of the Institute of Infectious Diseases in 1914. It caused by the struggle of the administrative and resources, the dispute of practical and academic, and maturates of the bacteriology; lead to the essentially open to the serums and vaccines market in Japan and its foreign lands, included Taiwan. Taiwan closed to the faction of Kitazato. Soon after, the great spread of infectious diseases in 1918-1921 bright the emergency to apply and manufacture of biologics in 1920s in Japan and all of its territories. Taken the impact, the Central Research Institute of Taiwan Governor changed its infrastructure and products in the 1930s. It is worth noting that the Central Research Institute of Taiwan Governor and the Taiwan Medical Specialized School became branches of the (Taipei and Tokyo) Imperial University in 1936-1939, for the necessity of dried vaccine, toxoid, and anatoxin.

Theoretically speaking, this investigation is structured in a way that concepts of information, information society, disability and accessibility are carefully explored. The main goal is to look into the level of accessibility of Brazilian Government research web sites when it comes to disabled people, but also find out whether there is any indication that the discourse of digital inclusion, advocated by information society, is making a real difference for them. This investigation reveals that the access to contents of digital pages in the Brazilian Government web sites is still ineffective, presenting large amount of errors which means a high degree of difficulty for disabled people in general. In this way, it can be concluded that digital inclusion, universalization of internet access, information and knowledge are complex issues and they will continue to demand a lot of effort from everyone in order to become reality. / Este trabalho investigou, documental e historicamente, a quest?o do acesso ? informa??o pelas pessoas com defici?ncia, tomando como unidade de an?lise a avalia??o da acessibilidade em sites de ?rg?os de pesquisa brasileiros, a partir de uma abordagem metodol?gica descritiva e explorat?ria, fundamentada em referenciais te?ricos da Ci?ncia da Informa??o e de sua interface com outros campos do conhecimento cient?fico. Assim, teoricamente a pesquisa se sustenta nos conceitos de informa??o, sociedade da informa??o, defici?ncia e acessibilidade.

When the New Zealand Government restructured the system of the public funding of research (1990-1992) it created Crown Research Institutes (CRIs) as companies operating in a global, market-led economy. One CRI, AgResearch, responded to this environment by corporatisation and instituted a normative system of control of workers which, through strategic plans, vision and mission statements, and performance appraisal processes, encouraged workers to adhere to company goals. This thesis, reporting on an ethnographic study of this CRI, shows how most scientific workers (technical workers and scientists alike) experienced insecurity through estrangement because the contributions they wished to make were less valued both in society and in their work organisation. They were excluded from participation in both organisational and Government policy-making, and felt they did not ‘belong’ anymore. Scientists in particular were also experiencing alienation (in the Marxist sense), as they were losing autonomy over the production of their work and its end use. Scientific workers developed tactics of compliance in order to resist these experiences and ostensibly comply with organisational goals while maintaining and protecting their self-identities, and making their work meaningful. Meanwhile, to outward appearances, the work of the CRI continued. This thesis adds to the sociology of work literature by extending the understanding of the concepts of compliance and resistance in white-collar work, particularly under normative control, by developing two models of resistance. It adds to the stories of the impact on public sector workers of the restructuring of this sector in New Zealand’s recent history, and develops implications for science policy and practice.

有鑑於台灣將於2006 年全面轉換現有類比電視系統，進入數位 電視時代，此趨勢亦將帶動數位電視未來的成長與發展，但基於台灣 數位視訊服務與接收設備產品正處於起飛的階段，未來發展的不確定 性仍高，因此其市場商機與未來技術之發展就非常值得進行研究與探 討。故本研究藉由SRI 情境預測法，對台灣未來5 至10 年的有線數 位機上盒(Digital Cable STB)的功能、技術需求與市場狀況做分析預 測，並針對可能發生的情境，提出因應策略，以提供有線數位式機上 盒供應商做未來策略決策時的參考。 本研究係透過包含學界及實務界的專家群會議輔以腦力激盪的 方式循序討論出關鍵決定因素與驅動力量，並以三個不確定軸面形成 情境主軸，發展擴充成為情境內涵，再就各選定之情境(風雲年代、 市場導引、技術革命及夕陽餘暉)內容進行SWOT 及策略發展分析， 並發展出有線數位STB 供應商之市場及技術共通發展策略： 在市場發展策略方面，建議台灣數位有線STB 供應商考慮： 1.形成同業默契，避免掀起價格戰，維持合理利潤。 2.為避免分散力量，造成惡性競爭。應尋求同、異業結盟，擴大業務 規模及市場佔有率，並提高對供應商的議價力量。 3.與TV 業者結盟，推廣HDTV 市場。 4.取得主要CA 供應商授權，共同開發高成長潛力市場。 5.與MSO 業者結盟，合力推動數位視訊市場發展。 在技術發展策略方面，則建議應考量： 1.核心技術之提昇，如CA，寬頻通訊及HDTV 技術。 2.多功能STB 之開發，如DVD, Home Theater, Cable Modem, VoIP 及PVR 等。 3.與台灣半導體業者合作開發關鍵零組件(IC)以降低成本並掌握關鍵 技術。 4.Open Cable 之開發，以因應不同CA 系統之需求。 5.XDSL STB 與無線寬頻技術之研究。 / Taiwan government has formally announced to switch to digital TV program broadcasting from present analog TV program broadcasting system starting year of 2006. At present, digital video service in Taiwan is still in infant stage and with high uncertainty in future d evelopment trend. Therefore, it provides the motivation of studying the market potential and technological development of digital cable industry.

The author examines how a North American commercial Web site developed by Environmental Systems Research Institute serves as a vehicle through which American hegemony and cultural imperialism are propagated to Latin America. The author argues that the content of the web site pages, which contain American cultural symbols and values, may serve to influence or change the values of its Latin American visitors.
