A Study on Luo Zhi Cheng\ue2s Historical narrative poems
No full textLuo Zhi Cheng is an important poet in the field of Taiwanese modern poetry, who is known for distinctive linguistic style and intense creative consciousness that are respected. Based on his powerful imagination and flourishing creativity as two primary advantages, through the mediation of poetry, prose, remarks, and commentaries, he maximally amplifies the implication of literature, and thereby composes himself and enriches the character. Distinguished from the majority of researchers focusing on Luo\ue2s lyric works, this study particularly found a writing context of \ue2avoidance of lyric sensibility\ue2 in Luo\ue2s poems, that is, his series of works historical themes in the form of long poems utilizing narrative skills to exhibit the remarkable consistency between the internality and the externality of the author.
\ue3\ue3This study conducted a comparative investigation of Luo\ue2s poetry work (The Book of Zhuzi) and prose works (Austral Court\ue2s Notandum and The Initiation of Civilization) to build a relatively more multi-faceted \ue2author\ue2s image of Luo Zhi Cheng\ue2 according to the writing of works of historical themes. Using the methodology of narratology, I departed from the internality of the text (the collection of poems) to identify how Luo forms the ideal spectrum of character by shaping historical persons; and meanwhile, I equally departed from the collections of prose to grasp the external information of the texts, and thereby clarified that Luo may treat \ue2writing, individual, and society\ue2 as a process of self-fulfillment. It is the two corresponding identities \ue2poet\ue2 and \ue2the intellectual\ue2 that are the mechanism of his constructing self-justification. Such investigation of the internality and the externality of text confirmed the complex relationships of the sustained \ue2opposition,\ue2 \ue2coexistence,\ue2 and \ue2conflict\ue2 between Luo and his works of historical themes
RE-AKTUALISASI KISAH PERJALANAN LAKSAMANA CHENG HO DI CIREBON MELALUI BATIK (Kajian Batik di Cirebon serta hubungannya dengan Bahasa Rupa Tradisi)
No full textAdmiral Cheng Ho (Zheng He), one of the migrants from China who introduced his culture to the Indonesians. Cirebon has benefited greatly from its expedition. However, not much remains of Admiral Cheng Ho still preserved by Cirebon. Whereas Admiral Cheng Ho has contributed a lot of useful knowledge to the port and the kingdom in Cirebon, which at that time port of Cirebon known as the Port of Muara Jati became famous throughout Java and even abroad. Preserving the history of Admiral Cheng Ho's journey and its relics in Cirebon can enrich the cultural treasures to the Indonesian nation. One effort to preserve it is with batik, because batik is one of the cultural image of the Indonesian nation that easy to spread widely and the variety of Cirebon batik decoration is influenced by the ornaments from China. In order to create a textile that can tell the journey of Admiral Cheng Ho, this research will use comparative study with qualitative methods to find linkages between batik in Cirebon and Bahasa Rupa Tradisi, which later will be applied to the design. The collaboration of travel story of Admiral Cheng Ho and batik will create contemporary art that communicative and gives a new breath for Indonesian textile. Keywords: admiral cheng ho, bahasa rupa tradisi, batik, cirebon, re-actualizasion Laksamana Cheng Ho (Zheng He), salah satu pendatang dari Cina yang memperkenalkan budayanya kepada bangsa Indonesia. Cirebon banyak memetik keuntungan dari ekspedisinya. Namun, tidak banyak peninggalan Laksamana Cheng Ho yang masih dilestarikan oleh Cirebon. Padahal Laksamana Cheng Ho telah banyak berkontribusi memberikan ilmu pengetahuan yang berguna untuk pelabuhan dan wilayah kerajaan di Cirebon, yang pada masa itu pelabuhan Cirebon dikenal sebagai Pelabuhan Muara Jati menjadi terkenal di seantero Jawa bahkan mancanegara. Melestarikan sejarah perjalanan Laksamana Cheng Ho dan peninggalannya di Cirebon dapat memperkaya khasanah kebudayaan bangsa Indonesia. Salah satu upaya untuk melestarikannya adalah dengan batik, karena batik merupakan salah satu citra budaya bangsa Indonesia yang mudah menyebar luas dan ragam hias batik Cirebon banyak dipengaruhi oleh ragam hias dari Cina. Demi menciptakan tekstil yang bisa menceritakan perjalanan Laksamana Cheng Ho, maka penelitian ini akan meggunakan strategi studi komparatif dengan metode kualitatif untuk menemukan keterkaitan antara batik di Cirebon dan Bahasa Rupa Tradisi, yang nantinya akan diaplikasikan pada perancangan. Kolaborasi kisah perjalanan Laksamana Cheng Ho dan batik akan menciptakan karya seni rupa kontemporer yang komunikatif dan memberikan nafas baru bagi tekstil Indonesia.

Abstract
The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of long-term Wai Tan Kung exercise on heart rate (HR), energy expenditure, oxygen uptake (VO2), ventilation (VE), heart rate variability and blood pressure. Two different groups of older adults were recruited. One group subjects (n =16; 65.0 ± 4.2 yrs, 163.3 ± 7.3 cm, 63.3 ± 7.3 kg) had been participated at least 10 years of regular Wai Tan Kung exercise (long-term group, LTG), and the other (n = 16; 59.0 ± 3.7 yrs, 162.0 ± 3.9 cm, 65.7 ± 3.6 kg) had been participated as same exercise as LTG but less than one year (short-term group, STG). The results of this study showed that there were significant differences (p < .05) in rest systolic pressure, and HR, energy expenditure, VO2, VE, high frequency power (HFP) and low frequency power (LFP) during exercise between LTG and STG (p < .05). LTG subjects had a significant lower in rest heart rate and blood pressure (p < .05) than STG subjects, and the former also reached higher (p < .05) exercise intensities during exercise testing than the latter. Moreover, there were significant higher heart rate, VO2 and VE during exercise testing for LTG than STG, suggesting that LTG subjects had higher metabolic rate. Additionally, LTG had a higher HFP than STG, suggesting that there was a significant increase in parasympathetic division of autonomic nervous activity during exercise testing for LTG than STG, indicating LTG subjects may prevent from coronary artery disease and improve functions of the heart. It is concluded that older adults participate in regular long-term of Wai Tan Kung exercise have a positive effect on their cardiovascular fitness. Therefore, such kind of exercise may especially fit for older adults.
Key words: oxygen uptake (VO2), ventilation (VE), heart rate, heart rate variability, Wai Tan Kung exercise.
