With the building project of the National Kaohsiung Performing Arts Center in place and the upcoming 2009 World Games being held in Kaohsiung, a variety of arts-related facilities are budding in Southern Taiwan. This trend raises the performing arts groups¡¦ expectations of and suggestions for improving the cultural environment in Southern Taiwan. The performing arts groups in Southern Taiwan are in dire need of development in an integrated and coordinated manner and the support from the government in a variety of ways. Specifically, these groups expect that the local folk traditions would be further cultivated, while internationalization would also be promoted. However, each performing arts group, because of its variety in nature, may hold unique needs and demands. Therefore, to launch a neutral organization which can coordinate and facilitate to fulfill these performing arts groups¡¦ needs may be necessary. The purposes of this study are to understand (1) whether there needs to be a service organization that is across different fields of performing arts in Southern Taiwan, (2) the roles and functions of this cross-performing arts service organization, and (3) the goals of and suggestions for this cross-performing arts service organization, on which its subsequent goals would be based. This study utilizes the Modified Delphi Method as the principal research method. By collecting and summarizing experts¡¦ opinions in relevant performing arts fields, I expect that this study would provide suggestions of the goals for this cross-performing arts service organization. The results of this study show that it is indeed important to have a cross-performing arts association in Southern Taiwan. In addition, it is necessary that the Performing Art in South Taiwan Association (PASTA) that was established in 2006 could fulfill such a role. Furthermore, when applied some management theories of non-profit organizations to identify the roles and functions of PASTA, I found that (1) as in a service role, the most important functions of PASTA are to provide advices for performing arts groups and to establish performing arts related database; (2) as an environmental reformer, PASTA should conduct environmental researches and make suggestions to improve the performing arts policies; (3) as a policy monitor, PASTA should promote the performing arts market liberalization and negotiate to improve the adequate legislation of performing arts; (4) as a public interest protector, PASTA should proactively obtain sponsorship for performing arts; and (5) as a social educator, PASTA should creative opportunities for its members for continuing education and professional development.

The aim o f this study was to determine the key factors within the roles and functions of professional nurses working in different nursing units with the purpose for motivation for their compensation in accordance with their performance. A comparative, descriptive design was employed. Findings reveal that the professional nurse’s roles and functions in the different units show that there are some significant differences regarding certain activities while differences pertaining to other activities were not significant. However, there were factors which were subjected to a number o f limitations during the study. Apart from the significant differences, it thus appears as if the roles and functions required o f professional nurses working in the three disciplines do not vary much in content and intensity. From the findings o f this study, it therefore, does not appear as if paediatric professional nurses have a valid reason for expecting additional monetary rewards in view o f their roles and functions. / Health Studies / M.A. (Health Studies)

Dans une situation d’important développement économique porté par les efforts de plusieurs générations au cours des années qui ont suivi la politique de la réforme et de l’ouverture en Chine, l’éducation esthétique s’inscrit à nouveau dans la politique éducative chinoise, après avoir été supprimée par Mao en 1958. De ce fait, l’éducation artistique, que la conception chinoise distingue de l’éducation artistique proprement dite, a connu également un développement d’ampleur. De nos jours, l’éducation artistique retient de plus en plus l’attention du gouvernement chinois, en raison de ses effets dans le processus de l’édificationet de la modernisation socialiste, ainsi que dans le renforcement de l’influence de la Chine dans le monde. A travers les analyses des politiques éducatives et des textes officiels, notre recherche consiste à dégager les rôles et les fonctions de l’éducation artistique dans la Chine contemporaine et à chercher à comprendre les raisons pour lesquelles le gouvernementchinois met l’accent sur ce type d’éducation. Ce travail nous conduit à dégager et à analyser les principaux facteurs qui influencent et expliquent son développement en Chine. / In a situation of important economic development carried by the efforts of several generations during the years which followed the reform policy and the opening in China, the esthetic education joins again in the Chinese education policy, having been eliminated by Mao in 1958. Therefore, the arts education, which the Chinese conception distinguishes from the esthetic education itself, also knew a development of scale. Nowadays, the arts education holds more and more the attention of the Chinese government, because of its effects in the process of the construction and the socialist modernization, as well as in the strengthening of the influence of China in the world. Through the analyses of education policies and official texts, our search consists in clearing the roles and the functions of the arts education in contemporary China and in trying to understand reasons why the Chinese government puts the accent on this educational type. This work leads us to clear and to analyze the main factors which influence and explain its development in China.

Studiens syfte är att undersöka vad andra vårdande legitimerade sjukvårdsprofessioner har för synsätt på kuratorers psykosociala arbetsmiljö inom akutvården i Västerbotten. I magisteruppsatsen har sex semistrukturerade digitala intervjuer genomförts med ett fenomenologiskt tillvägagångssätt. De professioner som intervjuats är: arbetsterapeut, dietist, fysioterapeut, logoped, läkare och sjuksköterska. Resultatet av studien visar att rollen som hälso- och sjukvårdskurator är diffus men har en avlastande funktion för andra professioner. Kuratorerna i sjukvården är oersättliga i vissa arbetsmoment som andra professioner inte behärskar, men i andra arbetsmoment är kuratorn utbytbar och reviret därmed oklart. Resultatet visar även att legitimationen är efterlängtad av andra professioner och stärker patientsäkerheten. Det som är viktigt i den psykosociala arbetsmiljön är samarbete, känslan av delaktighet och teamets sammanhållning. Andra professioners förväntningar och synsätt påverkar kuratorns psykosociala arbetsmiljö. Slutsatserna är att mer forskning behövs om den nya legitimerade yrkesgruppen hälso- och sjukvårdskuratorers psykosociala arbetsmiljö, roll och funktion i den moderna sjukvården. Det finns kunskapsluckor och behov av att uppdatera och tydliggöra kuratorns rollbeskrivning. / The purpose of the master thesis is to investigate other healthcare professionals' views on medical healthcare counselors (social workers) in an emergency care setting in Västerbotten, Sweden. In order to try and answer the purpose of the study six semi structured digital interviews were conducted. The included medical professions in our study were: Vocational therapist, physiotherapist, speech-language pathologist, dietitian, physician/doctor and nurse. The result of the study shows that the role as a social worker in a medical setting is difficult to define but is helpful for the other professional team-members. The healthcare counselors are irreplaceable in certain aspects, but some tasks are easily replaceable by others which makes the territory difficult to define. The results also show that the certification is long-awaited by other professions and strengthens patient's safety. What is important in the medical social work environment is cooperation, the feeling of participation and team cohesion. The expectations and views of other professions affect the healthcare counselors' psychosocial working conditions. The conclusions are that more research is needed on the psychosocial environment, role and function of the new licensed group of medical social workers in modern healthcare. There are knowledge gaps and a need to update and clearly define the role description.
