    This thesis is to study the political role of the People's Liberation Army from the approach of structure and function. The framework of the thesis consists of three major parts, first, the influence of Chinese traditional political culture on, and the formation of, the political role of the PL A; second, the influence of domestic political struggles and external military conflicts on the development of the political role of the PLA; and the third, the analysis of the transition of the PLA's political role from the structure and personnel arrangements of the CCPCC Within the above-mentioned three scopes, this thesis make a thorough discussion on the following: (1) The relationship between the structure of the PRC and the formation of the PLA's political role; (2) How has ideology influenced the army's political role; (3) What is Mao's viewpoint and his influence on the development of the army's political role; (4) What is the link between the army and the party, and how has this developed; (6) What accounts for the expansion of the PLA's political functions; (7) What is the influence of political factional struggles on the PLA's political role; (8) Is it political institution or military institution that controls the recruitment of the military elite; (9) What are the disparities between the military elite in handling international conflicts and what are their political considerations; (10) What is the Party's position in the army; (11) How have the Party’s important meetings and personnel arrangements influenced the rise and fall of the PLA's political role

    Hou-Chin stream, Love river, and Chien-Chen river, the three main rivers in Kaohsiung city, flow through the populous residential and industrial areas. A large portion of sewage from domestic and industrial sources are discharged into these rivers, then the Love river and Chien-Chen river pour into the harbor area. In order to understand the pollution of alkylphenol polyethoxylates in these areas, water and sediment samples in Hou-Chin stream, Love river, Chien-Chen river and harbor area in Kaohsiung city were collected and the contents of alkylphenol and corresponding polyethoxylates were analyzed in this study. LC/MS/MS was used as the analytical instrument which is relatively time-saving in comparison with other instruments. It is also more convenient due to the facts that no derivation or colorization are needed in sample pretreatment. The detection limit can reach to 0.03 ng/ml and recovery can be around 83.6~91.6%. It can analyze alkylphenols combinded with long ethoxylate chain with improved sensitivity and selectivity. In the four sampling areas, the concentration of NPs in water were between 7.4~241.8ng/ml, and OPs were between 0.66~64.2ng/ml. The most contaminated water samples were found at Chih-Ping Bridge on the mainstream of Love river and Pau-Chu-Kou Dam Station and Min-Tsu Bridge on the tributary of Love river where the concentrations of NPs were greater than 200ng/ml, OPs were greater than 30ng/ml. We found that the main pollution sources were from Lung-Hsin Bridge, Tzu-Yu Bridge, Lung -Hua Bridge, and Pau-Chu-Kou Dam Station. The pollution sources of the Chien-Chen river were mainly from Chung-An Bridge and Chen-Chuan Bridge. Concentration of NPs in upper sediments were between 633.1~2113.8ng/g, OPs were between 50.3~287.9ng/g. The highest concentration of NPs was at Ho-Ti Bridge on the mainstream of Love river, and the lowest concentration of NPs was at Chung-An Bridge on Chien-Chen river. The highest concentration of OPs was at Chen-Chuan Bridge in Chien-Chen river, and the lowest concentration of OPs was Min-Tsu Bridge on the tributary of Love river. The concentration of NPs in deeper sediments were between 523.9~1919.5ng/g, OPs were between 39.9~322.0ng/g. The highest concentration of NPs was at Chung-Hua Bridge on the tributary of Lover river, and the lowest concentration of NPs was at Chung-An Bridge on Chien-Chen river. The highest concentration of OPs was at Chi-Chin Fishing Port, and the lowest concentration of OPs was at Min-Tsu Bridge on the tributary of Love river. The salinity of water samples and the total organic carbon in sediment sample will influence the distribution coefficient of alkylphenol polyethoxylates with different length of ethoxylate chains, their distribution coefficients were between 0.48~2.67. In comparison with foreign studies, the concentrations of alkylphenol polyethoxylates of water and sediments amples in this study were between the highest and lowest values reported. However, the observed concentrations of alkylphenols in these study areas were higher then other rivers in Taiwan. These values were higher than the Probable No Effect Concentrations ( PNEC) of NP risk assessed by European Union. It can be concluded that the pollution of alkylphenol polyethoxylates of water and sediment is getting more serious in Hou-Chin stream, Love river, Chien-Chen river and harbor area in Kaohsiung city
