[EN] ABSTRACT The traditional Taiwan polychrome include a wide range of materials, with very different behaviors showing problems of different nature that sometimes requires the application of appropriate adherence and/or consolidation treatment. From this, a study has been conducted aimed to identify these materials and their behaviors as well as, the proposal of a proper adhesive/consolidant with physico-chemical stability and low toxicity. The identification of the materials confirms the use of porcine blood as binder in the preparation layer and tung oil as the binder in the paint layer. Besides, the multi-technical approach by using FTIR, GC-MS and VMP allow the dating of the polychrome under study. The application of a proper treatment on paintings will depends on the adherent/consolidant properties that could appear during and/or post the treatment as: i) mechanical properties (strength, flexibility); ii) hydric (permeability to water vapor and other gases); iii) the physico-chemical stability one the adhesive/consolidant has been apply. Here we propose, the use of an andhesive/consolidant based on technical gelatin, in combination with the correct concentration of additives: glycerol as plasticizer and citronella as natural fungicide, for the conservation and restoration of the polychrome decoration present on different places in the architectural complex of the Longshan Temple in Lukang, Taiwan belonging to the XVIII century. In a second step the study of the chemical and morphological changes demonstrate that the use of glicerol and citronella as additives improves the physic-mechanical properties and slows the ageing process of the adhesive/consolidant. Moreover, the citronella oil inhibits proliferation of fungi Aspergillus niger (CECT-2088), Chaetomium globosum (CECT-2701), Fusarium oxysporum (CECT-2154), Mucor rouxii (CECT-2655), Penicillium chrysogenum (CECT-2655) y Trichoderma pseudokoningii. (CECT-2937). / [ES] RESUMEN Los materiales que componen la policromía tradicional en Taiwán, son muy diversos y además presentan problemas de diferente naturaleza que requieren la aplicación de tratamientos de adhesión y consolidación adecuados para cada caso. El estudio llevado a cabo incluye la identificación de sangre porcina como el aglutinante en la capa de preparación y el aceite de tung como el aglutinante en la capa pictórica. Además, combinando las técnicas analíticas (FTIR, GC-MS y VMP) se ha logrado la datación de las policromías analizadas. Los tratamientos de intervención de obra pictórica dependen de múltiples factores, tales como las propiedades adherentes/consolidantes que se ponen de manifiesto durante el tratamiento y seguidamente, las propiedades mecánicas (resistencia mecánica, flexibilidad), hídricas (permeabilidad al vapor de agua y otros gases) y la estabilidad físico-química una vez el adhesivo/consolidante ha sido aplicado. A ellas hay que sumar otros aspectos tales como toxicidad, impacto medioambiental, coste económico y disponibilidad. El presente estudio, propone un adhesivo/consolidante obtenido de la gelatina técnica, y se adiciona unos aditivos, el glicerol (plastificante) y la citronela (fungicida natural), para la conservación y restauración de la decoración polícroma aplicada en diferentes partes del complejo arquitectónico del Templo Longshan en Lukang (siglo XVIII, Taiwán). Finalmente, se ha demostrado que la adicción de glicerol y aceite de citronela mejora las propiedades físico-mecánicas y ralentizan el proceso de envejecimiento del adhesivo/consolidante. Además, el aceite de citronela inhibe la proliferación de los hongos Aspergillus niger (CECT-2088), Chaetomium globosum (CECT-2701), Fusarium oxysporum (CECT-2154), Mucor rouxii (CECT-2655), Penicillium chrysogenum (CECT-2655) y Trichoderma pseudokoningii. (CECT-2937). / [CA] RESUM Els materials que componen la policromía tradicional a Taiwan, són molt diversos i a més presenten problemes de diferent naturalesa que requereixen l'aplicació de tractaments d'adhesió i consolidació adequats per a cada cas.

A més, combinant les tècniques analítiques (FTIR, GC-MS i VMP) s'ha aconseguit la datació de les policromies analitzades. Els tractaments d'intervenció d'obra pictòrica depenen de múltiples factors, tals com les propietats adherents / consolidants que es posen de manifest durant el tractament i seguidament, les propietats mecàniques (resistència mecànica, flexibilitat), hídriques (permeabilitat al vapor d'aigua i altres gasos ) i l'estabilitat fisicoquímica un cop l'adhesiu / consolidant ha estat aplicat.

隨著台灣民主的多元深化，各種公共政策議題的倡議也愈趨複雜細膩，而利益團體及非營利組織在政策制訂過程的地位也愈趨重要，但實務上，台灣的非營利組織在政策制訂過程中的地位仍屬模糊，特別是在立法過程中的角色扮演與策略選擇，不僅在理論層次的研究中缺少關懷，在實務操作層次上也未獲一般的非營利組織重視，而使得非營利組織在政策立法過程中的未能適切的發揮其應有的功能。因此，本文希望透過非營利組織理論和議題倡導策略分析的結合，建構一個非營利組織在我國立法運作中倡導議題的基本框架，並作為未來相關非營利組織在立法過程中策略選擇的參考依據。 以非營利組織相關理論和公共政策類型區分，可知相關的組織角色和政策類型種類繁多，但本文限於研究範圍，主要將關注於「價值維護者」非營利組織對於「管制性政策」在立法過程中的倡導策略，並選擇以董氏基金會推動「菸害防制法」修訂作為主要的研究個案。本文並以立法過程作為時間的縱面，切割為程序委員會及院會一讀的「立法形成期」、委員會審查的「法案角力期」和黨團協商及院會二三讀的「折衝妥協期」等三個階段，分別分析董氏基金會在不同階段推動「菸害防制法」修訂所採取的各種議題倡導策略，並透過深度訪談等方式蒐集資料，對其所運用的議題倡導策略的利弊得失進行審視評估。 本文研究發現，董氏基金會在歷時兩年半的菸害防制法修法過程中所採取的議題倡導策略，主要有「道德化『困窘策略』的策略主軸」、「結合媒體訴求的行動策略模式」、「單一而執著的直線操作」等幾項特點，而可能忽略了立法院妥協的議事文化、並對於立法院議事技巧不夠熟悉，從而造成菸害防制法修訂的延宕與議題倡導的挫敗。從董氏基金會推動菸害防制法的案例中，本研究認為，有關國內非營利組織進行議題倡導及立法遊說時，最為缺乏而急迫需要的，就是議題倡導及立法遊說的專業化訓練，因此建議我國非營利組織應該加強對於在立法過程中議題倡導策略的專業訓練，使其能夠更為順暢地完成其議題倡導的使命。 關鍵字：非營利組織、議題倡導、立法過程、董氏基金會、菸害防制法 / As the democracy in Taiwan became more intensely diversified, the promotion of various types of bills on public policies turned more complex and more delicate. In addition, the status of both profit-bearing and non-profit organizations in the process of policy establishment also became rather important. However, practically, the status of Taiwan’s non-profit organizations in the process of policy establishment is still blurred especially in the role-play and the strategy selection in the process of the theories of non-profit organizations, bill promotion and strategy analysis, and to use the research findings as a reference for the relevant non-profit organizations in strategy selections in future legislation processes. It is evident that there are various types of relevant organization roles and policies if the categorization is divided into the relevant theories for non-profit organization and the types of public policies. Due to the limitations on the scope of research, this paper mainly focuses on the promotion strategies of the “value guardian”, the non-profit organizations on “control policies” in the legislation processes. Furthermore, the establishment of the “Tobacco Hazard Prevention and Control Act” promoted by John Tung Foundation, is selected as the main case study for the research. This paper then takes the period of legislation process as the timeline and divides the time into 3 stages: the “legislation formation period” for the Procedural Committee and where the 1st Reading is passed by the Legislation Session; the “bill wresting period” where the bills are examined by the Committees; and the “negotiation period” where negotiations take place between the parties and the organizations and the 2nd and 3rd Readings are passed by the Legislation Session. The 3 different stages are used to analyze the various types of bill promotion strategies employed by John Tung Foundation in the promotion for the establishment of the “Tobacco Hazard Prevention and Control Act” in the different stages, where information are collected through in-depth interviews and other methods to undergo examinations and evaluations on the pros and cons in the bill promotion strategies used. It is found in this research that a number of characteristics including the “strategy focus of a moralized ‘impoverished strategy’”, the “mobile strategy model that combines media appeals”, and the “single and persistent linear operation” are the main bill promotion strategies taken by John Tung Foundation in the promotion for the establishment of the “Tobacco Hazard Prevention and Control Act” that took 2.5 years to get through. The bill discussion culture and the compromise of the Legislative Yuan may have been neglected and the unfamiliarity with bill discussion techniques in the Legislative Yuan may have caused the delay and the failure of the bill promotion in the establishment of the Tobacco Hazard Prevention and Control Act. This research feels that from the example of John Tung Foundation’s promotion of the Tobacco Hazard Prevention and Control Act, the most lacking and the most urgently required for local non-profit organizations in bill promotion and legislation persuasion would be the professional training for bill promotion and legislation persuasion. It is therefore recommended that the local non-profit organizations should strengthen their professional training for bill promotion strategies in the legislation processes in order for them to smoothly complete the mission in bill promotion. Keywords: Non-profit Organizations, Bill Promotion, Legislation Processes, John Tung Foundation, Tobacco Hazard Prevention and Control Act.

The Sino-Soviet Split of the late 1950s and the beginning of the 1960s was a multidimensional crisis of nationalism, national interests, domestic politics, personal problems, cultural differences, border issues, Soviet-American détente, communication misunderstanding, and different interpretations of ideology. The goal of this diploma thesis is to analyse the important domestic and foreign factors which contributed to the worsening of Sino-Soviet relations. In this interdisciplinary study, the author wants to over bridge the differences between Diplomatic History and International Relations Theory, the subfields of History and Political Science. In the first part, there is an analysis of current Sino-Soviet Split historiography (Lorenz Lüthi, Sergey Radchenko, Xia Yafeng, Austin Jersild) by using theories of International Relations (liberalism, realism and constructivism). The second part provides a historical description of the Sino-Soviet Split. Emphasis is placed on the Chinese side and especially regarding the role of Mao Zedong. This thesis focuses on the period between 1958 and 1964, nevertheless it is neccessary to include preceding and subsequent phases of the relations. It is essential due to cultural, ideological and national factors. These factors endured a long time and it would be impossible to...

In Sweden, there has been an long term effort to allow as heavy traffic as possible, provided thatthe road network can handle it. This is because heavy traffic offers a competitive advantage withsocio-economic gains. In July 2018, the Swedish Transport Administration made 12 percent ofthe Swedish road network avaliable for the new maximum vehicle weight of 74 tonnes, basedon a legislative change from 2017. It is known that heavy traffic has a negative effect on thedegradation of the road, but it prevails divided opinions on whether 74 tonnes have a greaterimpact on the degradation rate compared to previous maximum gross weights of 64 tonnes.The 74 tonne vehicles have the same allowed axle load, which means more axles per vehicle. Some argue that an increased total load and more axles affect the degradation associated withtime-dependent material properties, while others argue that 74 tonnes mean fewer heavy vehiclesoverall, and thus should have a positive impact on the road’s lifespan. The construction companySkanska therefore requests a statistical analysis that enables to nuance the effects that heavytraffic has on the Swedish state road network. Since there is very limited data on the effect of 74 tonne traffic, this Master thesis instead focuseson modeling heavy traffic in general in order to be able to draw conclusions on which variablesare significant for a road’s lifetime. The method used is survival analysis where the lifetimeof the road is defined as the time between two maintenance treatments. The model selectedis the semi-parametric ’Cox Proportional Hazard Model’. The model is fitted with data froman open source database called LTPP (Long Term Pavement Performance) which is providedby the National Road and Transport Research Institute (VTI). The result of the modeling ispresented with hazard ratios, which is the relative risk that a road will require maintance atthe next time stamp compared to a reference category. The covariates that turned out to besignificant for a road’s lifetime and thus are included in the model are; lane width, undergroundtype, speed limit, asphalt layer thickness, bearing layer thickness and proportion of heavy traffic. Survival curves estimated by the model are also presented. In addition, a sensitivity analysis ismade by exploring survival curves estimated for different scenarios, with different combinationsof covariate levels.The results is then compared with previous studies on the subject. The most interesting finding isa case study from Finland since Finland allow 76 tonne vehicles since 2013. In the comparison,the model’s significant variables are confirmed, but the significance of precipitation and thenumber of axes for a roads lifetime is also highlighted

La caractérisation de l'activité enzymatique des (phospho)lipases requiert des tests enzymatiques spécifiques, continus, utilisant des substrats lipidiques et adaptés au criblage à haut débit des activités et/ou des inhibiteurs de (phospho)lipases. Afin de développer de tels tests, la synthèse de glycérophosphatidylcholine (PC) estérifiée en position sn-1 et/ou sn-2 par l'acide alpha-éléostéarique (acide 9Z, 11E, 13E, octadécatriénoïque) a été effectuée. La triple insaturation conjuguée présente au sein de cet acide gras constitue un chromophore intrinsèque qui confère une forte absorption dans le domaine de l'ultra-violet à cet acide gras et aux lipides le contenant. Les PC contenant l'acide alpha-éléostéarique ont été adsorbées par « coating » au fond des puits d'une microplaque de titration. L'hydrolyse du substrat lipidique par une phospholipase A1 (PLA1) ou phospholipase A2 (PLA2), injectée dans le milieu réactionnel, est suivie en continu par l'augmentation de l'absorbance à 272 nm, due à la transition de l'acide alpha-éléostéarique de la phase adsorbée à la phase aqueuse. Des PC hétérogènes ont été synthétisées à partir de rac-glycidol pour effectuer un marquage sélectif de la PC par l'acide alpha-éléostéarique sur la position sn-1 (EOPC) ou sn-2 (OEPC). Pour empêcher la migration de la chaîne acyle, un lien éther non hydrolysable par les PLA1 ou PLA2 a été introduit sur l'autre position sn de la PC avec une chaîne alkyl (C18). Ces PC chimiquement définies ont permis d'élaborer une méthode de dosage en continu de l'activité enzymatique et discriminant les activités PLA1 ou PLA2, ce qui représente un caractère innovant par rapport à toutes les méthodes existantes / The characterization of the catalytic activity of (phospho)lipases requires specific assays, that are continuous, sensitive, use lipidic substrates and could be applied to high throughput screening. In order to perform these tests, several tailor-made alpha-eleostearic (9Z, 11E, 13E-octadecatrienoic acid) containing glycerophosphatidylcholines (PC) have been synthetized with the alpha-eleostearic acid at the position sn-1 and/or sn-2. The conjugated triene present in this fatty acid constitutes an intrinsic chromophore and, consequently, confers strong UV absorption properties of the fatty acid and the lipids harboring it. PC substrates were coated onto a microplate well and the phospholipase A1 (PLA1) or phospholipase A2 (PLA2) activity was measured continuously by the increase in absorbance, at 272 nm, due to the transition of alpha-eleostearic acid from the adsorbed to the soluble state. Moreover, two structured analogues of PC labeled at the sn-1 (EOPC) or sn-2 (OEPC) position with the alpha-eleostearic acid have been synthetized from rac-glycidol. A non-absorbing and non-hydrolysable by PLA1 and PLA2 O-ether alkyl(C18) was introduced at the other sn position to prevent intramolecular acyl chain migration during the synthesis and the lipolysis. These structured PC were coated onto a microplate and used in a continuous assay, to discriminate, with excellent accuracy, between PLA1 or PLA2 activities. The development of a sensitive enzymatic method using coated substrates analogues to natural lipid is a relevant improvement from current assays for measuring continuously (phosphor)lipases activities and/or their inhibitors due to the alpha-eleostearic acid UV spectroscopic properties

<p>Den här uppsatsen behandlar stridsvagn122 och Remote Weapon Station (RWS). Det finns ett verkansglapp mellan dagens kalibrar 120 mm och 7,62 mm. Observationsmöjligheterna i vissa situationer är begränsade. Syftet med uppsatsen är att undersöka vilka nya förmågor och möjligheter till ytterligare ett verkansalternativ en fjärrstyrd vapenplattform kan tillföra stridsvagn 122. De frågeställningarna som behandlas är: Vad kan en fjärrstyrd vapenplattform tillföra inom området stridsteknik? Vem i besättningen skall bemanna systemet? Vad kan en fjärrstyrd vapenplattform tillföra inom området graderad verkan? Metoden som används är kvalitativ textanalys. Materialet som analyseras består av reglementen ochinstruktionsböcker från Försvarsmakten, information från försvarsindustrin samt facklitteratur om vapen och stridsvagnar. Slutsatserna som dras är att en fjärrstyrd vapenplattform kan bidra med förbättringar inom området stridsteknik. Inom området graderad verkan kan en fjärrstyrdvapenplattform tillföra olika förmågor beroende på vilket vapensystem som väljs. Moduläriteten medför att verkan kan situationsanpassas. Jag bedömer att den i besättningen som lämpligen ska bemanna systemet är laddaren, men en större flexibilitet uppnås om även vagnchefen kan operera systemet, eftersom vissa situationer kräver att laddarens hela uppmärksamhet är fokuserad på kanonen.</p> / <p>This essay studies the Swedish main battle tank stridsvagn 122 and Remote Weapon Station. There is a gap between 120mm and 7.62mm. The observation possibilities in certain situations is limited. The purpose of this essay is to investigate which new abilities a remote weapons station can bring. The following issues are investigated: How does a Remote Weapon Station affect tactics on squad level? Who in the crew is most suited to man the system? Which scalable effects can a remote weapon station bring? The method used is qualitative text analysis. The analyzed material consists of regulations and manuals from the Armed Forces, information from the defence industry. Literature about Weapons and tanks written by civilian authors will be used in order to get a source from outside the Armed Forces. The conclusions drawn are that a remote weapons platform can contribute to enhancements of battle tactics on squad level. A Remote Weapons Station can introduce different new scalable effects depending on the weapon chosen for the specific task. I believe that the loader is the person in the crew that is most suited to man the RWS-system, but a higher degree of flexibility would be reached if also the tank commander could operate the system, since the loader in some situations must direct his full attention to the canon.</p>
