As an emerging great/super power, what the world needs to know about the rise of China? Unfortunately, many efforts to develop a comprehensive and detailed perspective on the rise of China are clouded, and even distorted. That is why and where this dissertation comes in. In order to help readers understand how observers interpret the rise of China; furthermore, what should be prepared to deal with a China led by the Chinese Communist Party(CCP), this study mainly concentrates on discourses on the rise of China, especially reflecting on the CCP¡¦s leaders¡¦ discourses from the perspective of identity and action. Based on the perspective of identity and action, this study reviewed the key concepts and logic as follows firstly: China, rise, identity, action, actor, rationality, imagine, and the logic of antithesis. Secondly, this study made a recombination of these concepts and the logic of antithesis to develop a theoretical framework, and named it ¡§the framework of identity-action positions.¡¨ Thirdly, in looking at the period from lat-Qing Dynasty to the present, this study applied the framework to analyze discourses on the rise of China, and particularly try to discover their common origin. Finally, this study argues that the origin of discourses on the rise of China is Chinese leaders¡¦ ambitions. However, there is a crucial difference between the CCP and other Chinese leaders. Continuous struggle, inevitably, is the essence of the CCP and its leaders¡¦ mindset. Thus, understanding the CCP and its leaders¡¦ continuous struggle for survival and development, in observing the rise of China, is what the world needs to know behind the scenes.

High-tech enterprise or Traditional enterprise, no matter to continue forever to manage, the enhancement profit, to become profitable and so on reasons, by each different form's organization transformation, achieves the transformation which and the goal the enterprise anticipated. This research is with the case study, and using ¡§Action Research¡¨ for the methodology to discuss the process factor which the influence organization transforms, its research background is as follows: 1. The case enterprise's short-term objective is to pay off the liability with all banks in two year which the debt occurred by the financial crisis's 8 years ago, the case enterprise could show a turn from loss to profit; 2. The case enterprise's organizational change plan is continuing to carry on, not already finished to discuss its final result; 3. In this research organizational change of the case enterprise is leading by its Human Resources Department, Not be top-down with its top managers. This research's objectives are: 1. To find the factors that would influence the organizational change in the back ground that organizational change is leading by Human Resource Department; 2. If the organizational change could move on after made some adjustment within the change plan? The main problems the case enterprise has includied: 1. Departmentalism; 2. The productivity concentrates in the minority product line. In this research the organizational change actions of the case enterprise includes: 1. to turn electronic division SVC department from profit center to cost center; 2. To intergrade all BU¡¦s SVC department to be a SVC Division in company; 3. To adjust the rules of Sales Quota Setting with Sales staff and leaders; 4. To change the ratio of variable salary with total compensation; 5. Promotes the new value activity. This research's result is: 1. The organization change which leading by HR department would be paied much attention and got smoothly executive when top managers have strong and consist intention. 2. The organizational change plan must be more closely to the business strategy, so can get recognition smoothly, staff get more interest and the motivaton to the organizational change, and have less resistance.

In recent years, automatic human action recognition has been widely researched within the computer vision and image processing communities. To identify human behavior which achieve the surveillance has great help by video automation in aspect of home caring, personal property and homeland security. To achieve action recognition, there are many factors to be considered, primarily the accuracy and real-time. If we can parallelize the action recognition algorithm, it will be a greatly improvement to the real-time processing capability of the algorithm. To achieve real-time demand, we study how to implement action recognition algorithm parallelization in the CELL B.E. platform. The action recognition algorithm with our design is faster than the original algorithm; it has 231 times speed up. We found that in the action recognition algorithm, there are many repeated operation between blocks, it can be parallelize by using single-instruction multiple-data architecture. In the action recognition algorithms, there are four major algorithms, DMASKS, HMHHb, MGD, SVM. The SIMD instructions in CELL B.E. platform can compute 128 bits data at once. While doing DMASKS, SIMD parallelism can reach 16 times, HMHHb parallelism up to 128 times, MGD parallelism up to 8 times, and SVM can reach 4 times. Based on CELL B.E. acceleration mechanism, we achieve high-performance computing models with multi-threading and multiple streaming. Our study showed that the action recognition algorithm is very suitable for multi-core system with parallel processing SIMD architecture. The parallelization for action recognition algorithm will have more immediate response in identifying human action. With the advantages of real-time, it can be expected to include more complex algorithms for the accuracy of algorithm in the future, to achieve both immediacy and accuracy.

Reviewing domestic related researches about dialogue, most of them focused on its effectiveness. This research focused on how to facilitate the learning of dialouge. We firstly reviewed the references about ¡§learning¡¨ and ¡§dialogue¡¨; and then described the action research process of how Systems Thinking and Organizational Lab designed the feedback mechanisms to facilite the learning process on dialogue for Company A. We also analyzed every feedback mechanisms about its effectiveness in this research. We found out that feedback mechanisms can facilitate the learning process on dialogue, and the reflective abiliy of the members is very important. Besides we could adopt different feedback mechanism to facilitate the learning effectiveness depending on the situation; therefore, we also made several suggestions on every feedback mechanisms for future adoption.

This research is for the purpose of constructing curriculums and solutions for beginner-level of percussion skill teaching. The researcher, in view of percussion learning difficulty, establishes "the national elementary school percussion teaching curriculums", containing percussion learning methods and key points in teaching. This research utilizes 12 fifth-graders from WuTang Elementary School in Pingdong County as study object. With tools such as class evaluation records, class activity records, teachers-students interaction records, to carries out complete observation records, which leads to a complete curriculum involving five mail subject units and 16 teaching units, over a total of eight weeks, 32 classes. Upon completion of this curriculum, 13 concrete methods were developed to improve problems with the fundamentals such as improper grasps of drum sticks, which may effectively address and solve beginners¡¦ learning-related problems; In order to improve teaching progress, the researcher also proposed that the learners become familiarized with the 16 percussion key points, such as the music melody etc..

Many actors claim results to be at the heart of their operations and to apply the Result-Based Management (RBM) approach in delivering humanitarian assistance, yet few are capable of clearly defining what it means and the long-term effects of this approach. Although seemingly simple from an outsider's perspective, the long-going debate on how to best measure and handle results demonstrate the complexity of the issue. This research examines how the RBM approach can be used by a humanitarian donor and looks specifically at the humanitarian unit (HUM) at Sida's methods for measuring results. It demonstrates that the difficulty in operationalizing ambitious goals and the lack of clarity of objectives hinder HUM from using results management to its full potential, especially when it comes to using the learning component to inform decision-making. The kind of results obtained depended on the reporting mechanisms and the partnership approach used at HUM facilitates the assessment of results; HUM's extensive knowledge of their partner's work is a comparative advantage which is not part of the RBM approach.

Nietzsche’s view of the self and will seems to culminate in a naturalistic account of human agency. If we understand Nietzsche as primarily a naturalist who thinks philosophy should more or less be modeled on the sciences whose investigations are restricted to empirical observation and whose explanations, like causal explanation, are natural (rather than supernatural), then ascribing a naturalistic account of human agency to Nietzsche is appropriate. However, I argue that attributing a naturalistic account of agency, or any account of agency to Nietzsche, misunderstands Nietzsche’s skepticism. I attempt to demonstrate the primacy of Nietzsche’s skepticism by showing how “his” naturalistic “account” of agency is best understood as an instrument in the service of his purely critical and deflationary project. To show the instrumental character of his “account,” I show how the account is used to oppose traditional notions of agency without itself becoming Nietzsche’s theory of agency.
