品是我所深深期盼的。身為一個華人，能夠藉著自己民族風格所創作的音
樂，以引起我國聽眾內心的共鳴，是一份多麼讓人興奮的事情，而且中國
的音樂家惟有創作屬於民族風格的中國現代音樂，方能受到國際樂壇的肯

臺灣作曲家在這近一百年來於音樂上達到的成就。這一百年來臺灣雖然在
政治上有極大的改變，在經濟上也由昔日農業社會轉變為今日工商業發達
和高科技的臺灣，但所創作的音樂之獨特價值，也同樣可以讓人洞察臺灣
在這麼多外來的影響下所保存的傳統音樂特色。 本論文擬將近代百年
來的臺灣作曲家分為四代，而從每一代選出兩位作代表，敘述音樂家的生
平和作品的分析（包括管弦樂法、曲式、旋律及和聲），並希望藉著分析

[[alternative]]The New Policy of the late Ching and its effects (1901--1911)
No full text[[abstract]]論文摘要
清末十年新政的推行，主要出於清廷權貴們對其政權危機之警覺
而來，他們此時意識到若不盡快使國家富強起來，政權將會不保，甚
至會亡國，因此，不得不對舊有制度作全面的改革。
其改革範圍主要包括教育、司法、軍事、財經、立憲等五個層面，
雖然朝野大都有誠意去推行新政，但由於富強的兩個基本點一吏治與
經濟沒有獲得改善，而且黨爭不斷，權貴保權固位等心態，使新政追
求的目的，在清延本朝而言是失敗的，它更間接促使清室的覆亡。
雖然如此，但清廷的新政對日後的民國邁上現代化路上是有一定
貢獻的，例如新式的學堂教育，廣開民智，又提倡女學，又設專業學
堂，並鼓勵全民教育。其次是司法的革，將審、檢分離，使司法人
員專業化，引進西方近代的立法精神，編定各種民律，使與刑法分離，
為中國傳統的法系注入新精神。軍事改革則編練新軍，使其編製、裝
備及功能邁向現代化，並推廣各種軍官、軍佐的專業化教育。財經的
改革，配合了西方資本主義制度，例如定國幣，設銀行，興工商業務
等，立憲的推行，更是中國政治上破天荒之舉，效法西方民主國家，
設議院，設責任內閣;又實行地方自治，允許人民有參與政治之權利，
凡此種種，皆是中國日後現代化的奠基。
[[alternative]]Fluorescent Labeling of Cancer Cells with Semiconductor Quantum Dots
No full text[[abstract]]Abstract
Inorganic nanomaterials that interface with biological systems have
recently attracted widespread interests in cellular and biomedical applications.
Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are among the most promising emerging
fluorescent labels for cellular imaging. In this thesis, to study the way into
cell、biocompatibility and photostability of QDs, we fluorescently labeled
breast cancer cells ( MCF 7 ) using water-soluble CdSe/ZnS core-shell
nanocrystals. Confocal microscopy images indicated that the cells remained
stably labeled for several days and continued cell division. However, to establish
whether QDs can specifically label organelles at a subcellular level, we used
QDs modified with the nucleus localization signal ( NLS ) peptides to label the
nuclei of the cells. The results showed that much labeling signals are specific for
the nuclei and are brighter and considerably more photostable than comparable
organic dyes. These results encourage the construction of more complex
functional QDs for protein tracking in cell.
[[alternative]]The Study of Integrated Marketing Communications in Digital Publishing
No full text[[abstract]]Following the rise of the Internet, publishing is facing
a series of revolutions, among which digital publishing now has merchandise packages with software, hardware, planning, marketing, and routing. Likewise, the digital publishing business has merchandise targeted at digital publications, covering entire business areas from management to marketing.
The study focuses on marketing and communication plans concerning the digital publishing business. The results will be served as reference for publishers in the aspect of digital publishing. Integrated marketing communication theory targets provide consumers and potential consumers clear-cut and consistent messages, through integration and synthesis, to obtain maximum benefits. As marketing manners and concepts change, the theory also receives support and emphasis from practical sectors. The study is based on integrated marketing communication theory, synthesizing various modes presented by scholars, as a framework for further research development.
The results of the research indicate that the major Taiwan publishers publish e-books and databases.
Digital publishers are mainly content providers, technology providers, platform sellers, and system sellers.
As different sectors have their own resources, strategic alliances between same and different businesses is rather common. Marketing strategies emerged from the early B2C – e-books oriented to market B2B – content and database products. From the digital business’ integration marketing and communication modes, the researcher discovered that marketing and communication exerts positive impacts on consumers’ databases and enterprise. The marketing tool now is mainly the Internet; however, it will become diversified as the carriers and routers get better and more convenient.
The major barrier is that the use of the Internet is not common, and there is a lack of suitable hardware, providers, service fees, and privacy. Concerning the development target of digital publishing, it is better through educational types, matters of high marketing values, and integration with pictures, to market a difference from paper publishing.
[[alternative]]The Research for Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy
No full text[[abstract]]本研究旨在探討諾朵夫-羅賓斯創造性音樂療法，藉以從中釐清對音樂治
療的基本觀念與態度，並企求將此一療法引進國內，以期運用在我國的特
殊教育界、復健界及醫療界之治療工作上。筆者採理論分析及訪談的方式
來探究此一療法之起源與發展、理論基礎、實施模式、臨床成果，復加以
評析、討論，進而提出具體建議，以為我國未來發展該療法之參考。諾朵
夫-羅賓斯創造性音樂療法是在1959年由音樂家保羅•諾朵夫和特殊教育
家克萊夫•羅賓斯合作，為特殊兒童所發展出來的一套音樂療法；其理論
基礎是根植在斯坦納的人智學和馬斯洛的人本心理學之上，強調每個人，
無論殘障與否，都有與生具來的音樂性(稱之為音樂兒)及發展潛能，治療
的意義就在於用音樂將個案內在的能力引發出來，透過「音樂兒的活化」
、「自我功能的發展」、「舊我和新我的統整」三種人格改變作用，逐漸
達成自我實現的目標。創造性音樂療法是以治療對象為中心，強調表現而
非接受的療法。實施時，可分為個別治療和團體治療兩種形式，由主治療
師與協同治療師共同擔任治療工作；個別治療是以即興為主要的音樂活動
，由主治療師在鋼琴上即興，時而引導，時而跟隨，來幫助個案擊打樂器
或歌唱，而協同治療師則提供個案各種協助；團體治療是以歌唱、樂器、
戲劇表演、動作、舞蹈等結構性的活動為主，由主治療師負責指導整個活
動，協同治療師則彈奏音樂來配合活動的進行，讓成員在團體的互動當中
，逐漸達到其個別的治療目標。無論個別治療或團體治療，均以錄音、錄
影器材將治療過程錄製下來，以期能客觀地審視治療技巧與決定治療方向
。在各界人士的支持之下，「諾朵夫-羅賓斯音樂治療中心」分別在英
國(1975)、澳洲(1984)、德國(1985)、美國(1989)相繼成立，致力於音樂
治療的研究與推廣等工作，且將治療的範圍擴及到醫療院所中的各類病患
，對國際音樂治療領域的發展深具貢獻。筆者評析此一療法，提出「人性
化的治療觀」、「科學化的治療方式」、「對音樂文化的尊重」之特點，
以及「音樂兒的用語不合時宜」、「評估量表不具適用性」、「小組工作
模式推行不易」之缺憾；此外，亦從中釐清下列對音樂治療的基本觀念與
態度：1 音樂治療可以改善疾病，但不能完全治癒疾病。2 音樂治療可做
為治療團隊中的一環，起輔助之功能。3 音樂治療師的素質與經驗，影響
治療成效甚大。4 音樂治療需要時間，並非一蹴即成。最後，筆者提出下
列五點建議，以為我國發展創造性音樂療法之參考：1力求本土化2培訓音

This study shall attempt to delve into the development of the
Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy. The study shall start
its understanding from thefundamental concepts and attitude of
music therapy, to its arrival intothe domestic scene and its
applications in the fields of special education,physical therapy
and medical treatment of the country. The study shall employ
theoretical analysis and interviews in discovering the origin
and development, theoretical foundation, practical models and
clinical results of the subject matter. The study further aims
to evaluate, discuss and arriveinto concrete suggestions in the
hope of providing necessary references for future studies.The
Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy came to birth in1959. It
is a special form of therapy through music which was developed
bymusician Paul Nordoff and special education educator Clive
Robbins forhandicapped children. The theoretical foundation of
this therapy lies inSteiner's Anthrosophy and Maslow's
Humanistic Psychology; which propoundedthat each person,
handicapped or otherwise, has an inborn musicality (referred to
as the Music Child) and potentials. The significance of the
therapy liesin the use of music as a tool to arouse the internal
ability of the clients,in the goal of achieving self-
actualization through the following three formsof personality
transformation; "revitalization of the Music Child","development
of the ego" and the "integration of the old and new selves".
Creative Music Therapy centers treatment on the core of the
clients' being;it emphasizes more on performance rather than
acceptance. During actual implementation, the therapy is
divided into individual therapy and group therapy; therapy
sessions are conducted by the primary therapist and co-
therapist. Improvisation is the principal part of individual
therapy sessions. The primary therapist would play an
improvisation on the piano, occasionally stimulating and
occasionally flowing, to help the clients either play an
instrument or sing. The co-therapist on the other hand,
provides the necessary assistance to the client. Group therapy
sessions are mainly composed of organized activities such as
singing, playing musical instruments, acting, body movements,
dancing, etc. The primary therapist directs the entire activity
of the group; the co-therapist plays the musical accompaniment
needed for the activities. The session allows the clients to
gradually arrive to their own objectives through interaction.
However, regardless whether the type of therapy used is
individual or group; all sessions are recorded, both in audio
and video recording, during the entire course to allow for the
objective assessment of therapy technique and for the resolution
of future therapy directions. Multi-sectoral support made
possible the establishmentof the "Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music
Therapy Clinic" in Great Britain (1975), Australia (1984),
Germany (1985) and the United States (1989).The clinics worked
dedicatedly in music therapy research and promotion,as well as
introduced music therapy into the treatment of pathological
hospitalcases. This development contributed in bringing
international music therapyinto new heights. The evaluations
conducted by the author pointed out the"human angle of the
therapy","the scientific nature of the therapy", and"the
importance given to music culture" as the highlights of this
type of therapyand considered the drawbacks to be the "Music
Child as an inopportune term","lack of applicability of
evaluation scales" and the "difficulty in implementingthe Two
Person Team Model". Further, the study was able to come up with
thefollowing fundamental concepts and attitude of music
therapy:1. Music therapy can improve health conditions but can
not treat illnesses completely.2. Music therapy may be used to
supplement therapy teamwork.3. The expertise and the degree of
experience of the music therapist play a major influence on the
effectiveness of the therapy.4. Music therapy takes time,
results should not be expected to come in great leaps. Finally,
the author proposes the following suggestions for the
development of Nordoff-Robbins Creative Music Therapy in the
country:1. Adapt therapy to local culture. 2. Train music
therapists.3. Establish a certification system. 4. Establish a
foundation and researchinstitute for the purpose.5. Set up a
medical treatment network.

[[alternative]]A Study of the Relationship among Teachers' Verbal Behavior, Students' Self-esteem, and Students' Behavioral Adjustment to School
No full text[[abstract]]The purpose of this study was to understand the relationship among students perception of their teacher's verbal behavior, students' self-esteem and students' behavioral adjustment to school. Five hundred and sixty-eight students from 6 public junior high schools in Taipei were sampled in the study. Instruments used in this study were: Teacher Verbal Behavior Scale, The Self-Esteem Scale, Behavior-In-School Inventory(BSI).
This study was a survey research. Data obtained in this study were analyzed by two-way MANOVA, Pearson Product-moment correlation and Path analysis. The main findings were as follows:
1.The interaction effects of students' perception of their teachers' verbal behavior between sexes and grades didn't reach the significant level. There were no differences between male and female students' perception of their teacher's verbal behavior; butthere were differences between grades in students' perception of their teachers' verbal behavior.
2.There were no significant differences between students' perception of their teacher's verbal behavior and their self-esteem.
3.Students' perception of their teacher's "Praises or encourage"and "Accepting and using ideas of pupils" had positive correlation with students' studiousness. compliance and teacher contact. Students' perception of their teacher's "Warm and accepting feelings" had positive correlation with students' studiousness, compliance, teacher contact and peer contact. Students' perception of their teacher's "Justifying authority", "Censuring" and "Threat" had negativ correlation with students' studiousness, compliance and teacher contact. Students' perception of their teacher's "Laughing and criticizing" had negative correlation with students' studiousness, compliance, and teacher contact, but had positive correlation with peer contact. Students' perception of their teacher's "Commanding" had negative correlation with teacher contact.
4."Students' studiousness" was influenced by teachers' use of "Justifying authority" through its effect on students' self-concept, or it was directly influenced by teachers' use of "Praises or encourage" and "Threat" "students' compliance was influenced by teachers' use of " Justifying authority"
through its effect on students' self-concept, or it was directly influenced by teachers' use of"Threat"and "Commanding". Students' teacher contact was influenced by teachers' use of "Justifying authority" through its effect on students' self-concept,or it was directly influenced by teachers' use of "Justifying authority"."Warm and accepting feelings"and"Threat". Students' peer contact was influenced by teachers' use of "Justifying authority" through its effect on students' self-concept, or it was directly influenced by teachers' use of "Warm and acception feelings"and"Laughing and criticizing".
Based on the results, implications of the study for educators and in-service training and suggestions for future research were discussed and offered as follows:
1.Teachers should monitor themselves about their use of verbal behavior while interactiong with different grade students. And they should select suitable verbal behavior coordinated with students' developmental characteritstics.
2.Teachers should use more positive verbal behavior to help students make a good adjustment to school.
3.In order to create a good learning environment, teacher cultivating and in-service training institute should prepare courses related with teacher verbal behavior to help teachers be aware of their use of verbal behavior and to help teacher be cautious of using verbal behavior.
4.Future researches need to investigate the interaction between students' perception and teacher verbal behavior and pay attention to the impacts of nonverbal behavior. On data collection, researcher can use interview, classroom observation and other methods at the same time.
[[alternative]]The Grandparents' Parenting and The Mental Relation Between Grandparents and Grandchildren in Families of Grandparents as Parents /the targets are limited to the junior high school students in Taipei county and Taipei city.
No full text[[abstract]]The purpose of this research focuses on grandparents’ parenting and the mental relationship between grandparents and grandchildren in families of grandparents raising their grandchildren. The requirement for families of grandparents raising their grandchildren is that grandchildren have to live together with their grandparents every day in a week; furthermore, grandparents are obligated to care and parent their grandchildren. The analysis on grandparents’ parenting is based on “response parenting” and “demand parenting”. The response parenting refers to grandparents’ support, encouragement and acceptance for grandchildren’s daily practices and behavior. Then, the demand parenting refers to grandparents’ regulation, control and demand for grandchildren’s daily practices and behavior. The data of this research is obtained by questionnaires which focus on the junior high school students from families of grandparents raising their grandchildren. The samples are adopted by purposive-sampling method. 30 public high schools in Taipei county and Taipei city (including the junior high school departments in senior high schools) are involved in this research. There are 615 questionnaires issued to conduct this research in total. Among them, 369 questionnaires are responded; furthermore, 288 questionnaires are valid. The following is the findings:
1. In families of grandparents raising their grandchildren, the first one who takes the duty to take care of grandchildren is their grandmothers, the next, their maternal grandmothers, then, their grandfathers, and the last, their maternal grandfathers. The result reveals that females take more duty in caring their grandchildren than males and paternal grandparents take more duty than maternal grandparents.
2. The major cause for families of grandparents raising their grandchildren is divorce. And the next cause is the fact that their parents are so busy on jobs that they cannot take care of their children. The third cause is the death of either side of parents or the death of both parents.
3. The analysis on grandparents’ parenting is divided into response parenting and demand parenting. In grandparents' "response parenting," the first three most common parenting are the hospitalization , the correction of errors and the encouragement for academic performance of their grandchildren. However, in grandparents' "demand parenting," grandparents put priority to their grandchildren’s daily practices.
4. In this research, the factors in grandparents’ parenting of families of grandparents raising grandchildren are discussed. As for the variables of grandchildren, grandparents and family backgrounds, if their grandparents own better health condition and the relationship between fathers and children is better, grandparents will more likely to adopt response parenting. On the contrary, in grandparents’ demand parenting, there is no obvious connection with the variables mentioned above.
5. In short, the mental relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is quite good in families of grandparents raising their grandchildren. Among all factors in the mental relationship of grandparents and grandchildren, the relationship with their fathers and the response parenting of their grandparents can fully explain the mental relationship of grandparents and grandchildren, which is based on the variables of grandchildren, grandparents and family backgrounds and their grandparents’ parenting methods.
