Interview with YA author Vicki Grant
No full textWe feature an interview with Nova Scotian YA author Vicki Grant. Vicki is a prolific author who has written 14 books and has written over 100 episodes of children‘s TV. Vicki discusses her thoughts on reading positively and the meaning behind positivity, her favorite bad-day books, and how we as a community can promote reading positively. She makes us realize the importance of realism in writing and how important it is to connect with young readers

Origen, subsistencia y rescate del Chin Chin
No full textLa tarea consiste en recopilar desde la transmisión oral de sus cultores, no sólo la historia y la cultura de los chinchineros ya que esto enmarcaría el desafío en un mero menester histórico o historicista. La tarea fundamental consiste en lograr
elaborar un manual técnico de ejecución del chin chin que incluya las transcripciones de todos los patrones rítmicos más propios de este instrumento. Así, el aporte que esperamos entregar a la cultura debiera ayudar a prolongar en el tiempo el culto de este instrumento y, en un estado ideal, convertirse en una fuente permanente de consulta técnica que hasta la fecha aún no ha sido construida. Esa es la pretensión. Esta investigación muestra un camino a la búsqueda y difusión de las manifestaciones propias de chile y ayuda a entender el desarrollo artístico cultural de
nuestro país.
Con esta investigación se pretende reconocer la importancia que tiene el chin chin para nuestro país, en especial para musicólogos, investigadores interpretes, compositores y cualquier persona que quiera saber mas acerba de la historia de su país, ya sea en el ámbito musical o cultural, porque este instrumento es netamente propio de nuestro país
High-performance and long-term stability of mesoporous Cu-doped TiO2 microsphere for catalytic CO oxidation
No full textAlthough the low-temperature reaction mechanism of catalytic CO oxidation reaction remains unclear, the active sites of copper play a crucial role in this mechanism. One-step aerosol-assisted self-assembly (AASA) process has been developed for the synthesis of mesoporous Cu-doped TiO2 microspheres (CuTMS) to incorporate copper into the TiO2 lattice. This strategy highly enhanced the dispersion of copper from 41.10 to 83.65%. Long-term stability of the as-synthesized CuTMS materials for catalytic CO oxidation reaction was monitored using real-time mass spectrum. Isolated CuO and Cu-O-Ti were formed as determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The formation of the Cu-O-Ti bonds in the crystal lattice changes the electron densities of Ti(IV) and O, causing a subsequent change in Ti(III)/Ti(IV) and Onon/OTotal ratio. 20CuTMS contained the highest lattice distortion (0.44) in which the Onon/OTotal ratio is lowest (0.18). This finding may be attributed to the absolute formation of the Cu-O-Ti bonds in the crystal lattice. However, the decrease of Ti(III)/Ti(IV) ratio to about 0.35 of 25CuTMS was caused by the CuO cluster formation on the surface. N2O titration-assisted H2 temperature-programmed reduction and in-situ Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy revealed the properties of copper and effects of active sites
Has Digital Opportunity Center initiated the development of remote area ?- the case study of gluban tribe in NanTou
No full text本文以南投縣仁愛鄉清流部落為深度報導對象，以數位機會中心的角度，觀察政府推行縮減城鄉數位落差的政策落實到在地的情形為何。報導者主要運用深度訪談法，搭配田野觀察法蒐集報導素材。報導發現，影響數位機會中心實際運作情況的原因共可分為六個面向，包括：營運者與輔導團隊、當地人口結構、當地經濟問題、其他民間組織、部落既有優勢，以及經營者對數位機會中心的看法。此外，本文也發現，數位機會中心雖背負著縮減城鄉數位落差、帶動社區發展的政府期待，但對照到部落的在地需求及想像，則是另一種落差。本文的貢獻在於累積本土縮減城鄉數位落差政策的實際經驗，並提出反思及建議，期能作為政府未來規劃相關政策的參考。Alan Gluban, a tribe in Renai Township, Nantou County, at the central part of Taiwan, is the subject of this in-depth report. From the viewpoint of The Digital Opportunity Center (DOC), this article provides a glimpse of the differences between the government policy and the local executions of digital divide. In-depth interviews and field observation are used as the research methods to collect data. The report found that six factors influenced the management of DOC in different angles: the manager of DOC and the guidance of DOC, local population structure, local economy, local organizations, historical advantages and the way the manager regards DOC. Additionally, the government depends on DOC to curtail the digital divide between the rural and urban areas in Taiwan, and also expects DOC to enhance the community development through its routine tasks. Moreover, this article also reveals that DOC’s execution leads to another kind of divide: the reality of local requirements and visions are not the same as what government imagined. The article’s contribution lies in blending the insight of DOC and the local experiences of the trial of reducing digital divide, which enables the author to give out suggestions and self-examination methods as the government’s references in drawing up related policies in the future.口試委員審定書 i辭 ii文摘要 iii文摘要 iv一章 前言 1一節 研究緣起 2二節 清流部落 10三節 研究問題 14四節 研究架構 17二章 文獻回顧 19一節 數位落差 20二節 社區發展 28三章 研究方法與報導對象 41一節 研究方法 42二節 報導對象─清流部落 45四章 深度報導 50一節 前言 51二節 和你想像不同的原鄉部落─ALAN-GLUBAN 52三節 褒貶參半的社區發展協會 55四節 數位機會中心資源使用情形 60五節 不同位置的人看「數位機會中心」資源 74六節 數位機會中心與社區發展 78五章 結論 86一節 報導發現 87二節 報導限制與建議 91三節 報導後記 92考書目 9
