abstract: The purpose of this project was to examine the lives and solo piano works of four members of the early generation of female composers in Taiwan. These four women were born between 1950 and 1960, began to appear on the Taiwanese musical scene after 1980, and were still active as composers at the time of this study. They include Fan-Ling Su (b. 1955), Hwei-Lee Chang (b. 1956), Shyh-Ji Pan-Chew (b. 1957), and Kwang-I Ying (b. 1960). Detailed biographical information on the four composers is presented and discussed. In addition, the musical form and features of all solo piano works at all levels by the four composers are analyzed, and the musical characteristics of each composer's work are discussed. The biography of a fifth composer, Wei-Ho Dai (b. 1950), is also discussed but is placed in the Appendices because her piano music could not be located. This research paper is presented in six chapters: (1) Prologue; the life and music of (2) Fan-Ling Su, (3) Hwei-Lee Chang, (4) Shyh-Ji Pan-Chew, and (5) Kwang-I Ying; and (6) Conclusion. The Prologue provides an overview of the development of Western classical music in Taiwan, a review of extant literature on the selected composers and their music, and the development of piano music in Taiwan. The Conclusion is comprised of comparisons of the four composers' music, including their personal interests and preferences as exhibited in their music. For example, all of the composers have used atonality in their music. Two of the composers, Fan-Ling Su and Kwang-I Ying, openly apply Chinese elements in their piano works, while Hwei-Lee Chang tries to avoid direct use of the Chinese pentatonic scale. The piano works of Hwei-Lee Chang and Shyh-Ji Pan-Chew are chromatic and atonal, and show an economical usage of material. Biographical information on Wei-Ho Dai and an overview of Taiwanese history are presented in the Appendices. / Dissertation/Thesis / D.M.A. Music 2011

Em diferentes épocas do desenvolvimento social a dinâmica econômica impõe, sobre a natureza, diferentes tipos de uso e cobertura da terra. Essa dinâmica que ocorre no mundo todo pode ser melhor descrita com base em estudos localizados, como ocorreu com o oeste do estado de São Paulo, região que passou por grandes transformações em curto período de tempo, dentre elas destaca-se a frente pioneira, a qual transformou a vegetação nativa em pastagens e lavoura. O latifúndio pecuarista tinha como objetivo a criação de gado de corte e a especulação fundiária, fato que desencadeou as ações dos movimentos sociais de luta pela reforma agrária. O desenvolvimento econômico impõe ao meio ambiente as necessidades humanas, como a construção de lagos para as hidrelétricas, pontes, estradas, cidades, dentre outras. Dessa forma, o presente trabalho tem como objetivo compreender as transformações ocorridas no uso e cobertura da terra nos municípios de Euclides da Cunha Paulista, Rosana e Teodoro Sampaio, localizados no Pontal do Paranapanema – SP, no período de 1984 a 2014. Os mapeamentos foram realizados em intervalos de 10 anos com base nas imagens do satélite LANDSAT e com a utilização de aplicativos SIG. Após a realização do mapeamento os dados foram processados e gerados mapas de ganho/manutenção/perda de área para os tipos de uso e cobertura da terra existentes na área objeto de estudo, foi possível perceber a diminuição da vegetação nativa, grandes áreas destinadas a pecuária sendo substituídas por assentamentos, o aumento do espelho d’água com o enchimento de dois grandes reservatórios e a expansão da monocultura da cana-de-açúcar. / The changes a society goes through, either economic or social ones, always reflect the way it is structured, specially, when it comes to its relation to the environment. In different moments of the social development, the economy dynamic has imposed different ways of use and land cover. That dynamic is better describe when there are local studies, as the one carried out in the west of São Paulo State, a region which has undergone huge transformations in a short period of time, such as the one performed by a groups of pioneers who turned native vegetation into pasture and crops. The deforestation followed by fire was a common practice stimulated by the government at that time. The next economic dynamic was ruled by cattleman in large areas of land, the aim was cattle raising and agrarian speculation. This last fact unleashed several social movements fighting for land reform. Social development imposes human needs to the environment, such as building lakes for dams, bridges, roads, cities, among others. Therefore, this research intends to analyse and better understand the changes occured in the land use and cover in the cities of Euclides da Cunha Paulista, Rosana e Teodoro Sampaio, located in Pontal do Paranapanema-SP, from 1984 to 2014. That done by mapping the area with interval of 10 years based on the images collected by the satellite LANDSAT, as well as making use of a GIS application: ArcGis. After the mapping stage, data was processed by the module Land Change Modeler (LCM) which is part of the GIS application Idrisi. Maps of area gain/maintenance/loss were created for each type of land use and cover existing in the area which is object of this study, those make clear the reduction in the native vegetation; large areas dedicated to catlle raising being replaced by settlements; an enlargement of the water mirror due to the filling of two big water reservoirs and the expansion of sugar-cane monoculture.

Treating Sandra Cisneros' The House on Mango Street and Chang-rae Lee's Native Speaker as Erziehungsroman—that is, stories whose coming-of-age process depends on the characters' education—reveals the similar process that both Esperanza Cordero and Henry Park experience as they navigate the 1960s and 1970s American school system. The most important obstacle in Esperanza's and Henry's ability to achieve academically is the contract of vagueness, the tacit agreement between federal education policy and English language learning (ELL) students to misunderstand one another. Differing cultural conceptions of education perpetuate this mutually detrimental relationship between education policy and ELL students, forcing Henry and Esperanza to choose between satisfying the cultural expectations of their ethnic communities and fulfilling the cultural expectations of their schools, a decision which initially appears mutually exclusive. Exacerbated by their school experiences, both Henry and Esperanza go through a process of rejecting and reclaiming their ethnicity as they come to terms with their ethnic identity. That both characters eventually turn to social advocacy as a solution not only to their own educational struggles but also to the ghettoization of their ethnic communities suggests cosmopolitanism as a solution to the constraints of the contract of vagueness, both for Henry and Esperanza and for their ethnic communities.

由於台灣外食人口的比例增加、國內連鎖業者的數量也逐年攀升，顯見台灣連鎖餐飲業的發展態勢良好，也代表產業的競爭程度日益加劇，各連鎖業者透過增加展店數量、加快展店速度，為的尌是要比競爭者更快搶到好的位置，藉此擴大規模、提高獲利，而在開每間店的過程中，從商圈的選擇不同、店址的選擇不同、店面的設計，再到門市的營運與管理不同，都會影響到門市的績效表現，因此，本研究從個案公司在展店與營運管理兩方面的策略考量開始談起，接著去分析兩者對於績效有何影響，最後再歸納出展店、營運、績效三者之間的關係。 本研究內容以連鎖餐飲業為研究方向，選擇國內較知名的中式連鎖業者作為個案研究對象，針對展店與營運兩部分設計訪談大綱。研究方法是以深度訪談為主、文獻探討為輔，藉以了解台灣連鎖餐飲業者在展店時的思維，以及展店與營運是如何影響一間店的成功。 本研究結果顯示，一間成功的門市，必頇開在符合公司需求的理想位址，搭配有效的營運管理，才能創造出良好的績效。當業者在進行商圈的選擇時，必頇確定目標客群在哪、考慮該區域是否符合產品特性，以及密切關注各地域的發展或變化，才能比競爭者更快地奪得先機，搶到好的位置，而在評估店址的時候，要知道目標客群的消費習性、評估跟競爭者之間的距離，以及正確評估該地址的租金、預期營收，以及租金占營收的比例等等是否符合公司的發展策略。此外，對連鎖業者來說，要成為一個成功的連鎖企業，其公司優勢務必要與產業關鍵成功因素相符合，且每間門市皆必頇與公司定位相符，最後尌是管理要確實，公司必頇訂定管理的指標且定期執行，還要讓門市與總部之間保持良好的溝通，才能讓每間門市的營運更加成功。

十九世紀末的檳榔嶼華人社會，其人口總數約為八萬餘人，其中屬客家方言群者，只有七千餘人，尚不及該地華人總人口數的十分之一。儘管如此，客家籍富商卻能不間斷的出任清朝政府派駐該地的副領事，無疑顯示出其有獨特之處。其中，張弼士出任首任副領事，更是其關鍵的肇始。因為透過張氏的精心安排和計畫，遂逐步奠定該職繼續由客家富商擔任的基礎。至於客家籍富商出任該職，不僅讓他們有更多的機會接觸祖國事務，亦進一步將他們引入檳榔嶼華人社會的領導階層，成為名符其實的華人社會領袖，同時亦造就了客家籍「埔梅集團」的興起。副領事一職，是清朝政府對外設立使領館中，層級最低的一個小機構。就機構本身而言，它的影響力是非常有限，無足輕重。是故，長期以來，亦不會特別引人注意到檳榔嶼副領事，到底會對近代中國帶來怎樣的影響和改變。不過，就因為擔任副領事者當中，有了張弼士、張煜南、謝榮光、梁碧如和戴春榮等人物的出現，以致改變了和凸顯出檳榔嶼副領事的重要性。尤其是張弼士更透過他商業網絡的優勢，而躋入清朝的商業官僚體系內，甚至更成為主管晚清商務的商務大臣，進而推動和影響了晚清商業資本主義的發展。此外，當革命派在檳榔嶼展開活動至中華民國建立為止，該批亦官亦商的檳榔嶼副領事，不僅沒有對革命派加以打壓，甚至還默許他們的親族參與革命活動。因此，同盟會南洋支部自新加坡遷往檳榔嶼之後，革命派在南洋的活動和發展，得以繼續藉由在當地的重整機會，而取得喘息和重新出發的新契機。由此觀之，檳榔嶼副領事對於近代中國政治的發展，無疑亦扮演著一個極特殊又關鍵的角色，對近代中國實產生了一個極大的衝擊和影響。
