The nomenclature of the lycophyte species Phlegmariurus mingcheensis Ching (Huperziaceae)
No full textIn 1982, Ren Chang Ching twice described the same lycophyte species under the names Lycopodium mingcheense (published in April; the original "minchegense" spelling being a correctable error) and Phlegmariurus mingcheensis Ching (published in May). Phlegmariurus mingcheensis cannot be taken as a combination based on Lycopodium mingcheense because in the original publication a different holotype was indicated and the name Lycopodium mingcheense was not mentioned. The correct names for this species in Huperzia, Lycopodium, and Phlegmariurus are Huperzia mingcheensis (Ching) Holub (basionym: Phlegmariurus mingcheensis), Lycopodium mingcheense Ching, and Phlegmariurus mingcheensis Ching, respectively. The recent lectotypification of the name Lycopodium mingcheense using P.S. Chiu 2069 (PE) was redundant since this specimen was clearly indicated as the holotype in Ching's original publication. The recent new name Phlegmariurus mingjoui X.C. Zhang is an illegitimate superfluous name
Mapping the Discipline of the Olympic Games An Author-Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFThe authors conducted an author cocitation analysis on prominent authors writing about the Olympics during the 1990s. Author cocitation is an established bibliometric technique that can be used to measure the relative similarities of topics written about by the cited authors. This enables a visual representation of the “intellectual space” of the discipline, in this case the Olympics, to be created for the period under review. So core and peripheral research areas are identified, along with their major contributors. The representation appears as a two-dimensional cluster-enhanced map. Subject expertise was then applied to the results to place labels on the generated clusters of authors and their topics
Methylation of the Long Control Region of Hpv16 Is Related to the Severity of Cervical Neoplasia
No full textOncogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) is the cause of cervical cancer. Hypermethylation of the CpG islands located at the long control region ( LCR) of the HPV genome may regulate the expression of the major oncogenes E6 and E7, and may relate to cancer progression. The goal of the present study was to investigate the methylation patterns of CpG dinucleotides contained within the LCR of the HPV16 genome in a collection of clinical specimens comprising the full spectrum of cervical carcinogenesis. Study design: The status of LCR methylation was investigated in HPV16-infected cervical precancer and cancer cell lines, and in HPV16- infected low-grade squamous intratepithelial lesion of cervix (LSIL, n = 17), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL, n = 21) and invasive squamous cell carcinoma ( SCC, n = 15) by bisulfite sequencing. Results: Among the three CpG islands of HPV16 LCR, methylation was found in three in the CaSki cell, in two upstream ones in SiHa cell, and none in the precancerous Z172 cell. Reactivation of E6 gene expression upon demethylation by 5-aza-dC and TSA treatments was noted in CaSki cells. In HPV-infected cervical specimens, progressive methylation of HPV16 LCR was noted, with rates of 5 .9%, 33.3% and 53.3% in LSIL, HSIL and SCC, respectively (P < 0.01). A trend toward increasing density of CpG methylation was also noted. Topologically, more methylated sites were found at the E6/E7 promoter region in SCC, compared with LSIL and HSIL Conclusion: The study disclosed downregulation of E6 gene transcription by LCR methylation in cervical cancer cells. Methylation of HPV 16 LCR is highly associated with severity of cervical neoplasm
Musa Dah i bliżej. Zaczynając od powieści Franza Werfla.
No full textThe subject of the first part of the article is an interpretation of Franz Werfel’s novel Forty days of Musa Dah, published in 1933 and containing in its the name of the place where five thousand Armenians made a stand against the Turks in September and October 1915. The book made the author a national hero of the Armenians. However, this Jewish writer simultaneously sensed the approaching Shoah. Hence, in the second part of the paper, I show how the novel grew in importance during World War II: Musa Dah was compared to the resistance in the Jewish ghettos (e.g. the situation of the population in Bialystok). Janusz Korczak was to discuss the novel in the summer of 1941, also the chronicler of the Warsaw Ghetto, Emmanuel Ringelblum, in June 25, 1942 compared the Warsaw Ghetto to Musa Dah.The subject of the first part of the article is an interpretation of Franz Werfel’s novel Forty days of Musa Dah, published in 1933 and containing in its the name of the place where five thousand Armenians made a stand against the Turks in September and October 1915.

The <i>I Ching</i> as a Potential Jungian Application: History and Practice
Get PDFAbstractSwiss psychiatrist Carl Jung had a lifelong interest in the I Ching after discovering it in 1919. Jung’s interest in the I Ching is arguably more practical than purely theoretical or intellectual, and references to I Ching divination appear frequently in his various publications, seminars, letters and clinical practice records. After a few observations on the history of the study of the I Ching in China, the author categorizes Jung’s three uses of the I Ching as physical use (to preview future potentials of outer reality), psychological use (to reveal one’s psychological state), and psychical approach (to engage with the divine through “神”[“shen”, spiritual agencies]). Finally, the author discusses the current Jungian engagement by demonstrating clinical cases in contemporary times. Some Jungian analysts practise I Ching divination to obtain insights into the physical and psychological state of therapeutic relationships and for personal development. This paper is a historical and critical engagement of the Jungian practice of I Ching divination.</jats:p
(30(2):89-98)Physiological studies of machine-transplanted rice－I. Changes in concentrations of nitrogen, chlorophyll and total non-structural carbohydrates
No full text為了配合本省機插水稻之全面推廣，採用臺南5號（稉稻）與臺中秈5號（長秈稻）二水稻品種，按一般箱式育苗與機械栽培方式進行試驗，比較品種與期作問之移植苗質及移植後地上部不同器官之光合成產物累積與分佈，提供產量高低之說明。
試驗結果顯示期作問之苗質差異較品種間為大，一期作機插秧苗之重／長與碳水化合物／全氮比值均大於二期作，亦即具有較優之苗質。
移植後葉片之葉綠素濃度，一期作在孕穗期，二期作在近最高分蘗期達到高峰，葉綠素在期作間之變化與非構造性碳水化合物之累積密切相關，但與葉片全氮濃度並不完全平行變化。
二期作稈部碳水化合物與葉綠素濃度在抽穗後減低遠甚於一期作，顯示轉運穗部之光合成產物來源不足，結果秈、稻在二期作之結實率與千粒重減低，但穗數在品種與期作問之差異均不顯著。
稉稻之葉綠素與氮素濃度高於秈稻，但秈稻稈部碳水化合物之累積速率與數量明顯大於稉稻，惟降低速率亦迅速，結果秈稻之千粒重遠低於稉稻，因此光合成產物之累積與轉運同具影響本省水稻在品種與期作間之產量差異，值得再作進一步之探討。Experiments were conducted in the first and second crop seasons of 1978 to study the seedling quality and the changing patterns of N, total non-structural carbohydrates (TNC) and chlorophyll concentrations throughout the growth course of machine-transplanted rice.
Differences in seedling quality were more significant between crop seasons than between varieties at the leaf ages of 3.1 to 3.3. Seedlings raised in the first crop possessed high ratios of dry weight/height and TNC/N than those of the second crop.
Nitrogen conentration in leaf blades was higher in Tainan No. 5 (japonica) than in Taichung sen No. 5 (indica) rice. TNC accumulation in culms before heading was more pronounced in the indica variety; however, the subsequent decline during grain-filling was also faster as compared with the japonica rice Tainan No. 5.
Highest chlorophyll concentration was recorded at booting stage in the first crop and at maximum tillering stage in the second crop rice. Changes in concentrations of chlorophyll and TNC were parallel to each other in both seasons. The marked decreases in levels of TNC and chlorophyll after heading, along with the lower ripened-grain percentage and 1000-grain weight, suggested insufficient supply of photosynthetic assimilates in the second crop rice
The Image of the Change: From the I Ching to the Evolution of Chaos
No full textThis article is dedicated to artistic explorations of change, with the I Ching (The Book of Changes) as a stepping stone. The author uses modern mathematics to identify the basic types of change in the I Ching codes and to build a bottom-up I Ching systemization with an associated aesthetic principle. Moreover, the author introduces other (chaotic) types of change to sparsely fill the gap between the basic I Ching orders and the ultimate Change, allowing artistic speculation reflecting the evolution of many types of change by means of digital simulations, 3D volumetric display, etc
[[alternative]]A STUDY ON ELEMENTARY EDUCATION IN CHING TAIWAN (1684-1895)
No full text[[abstract]]The main purposes of the study are:
1. To understand the origin of the institutions of the elementary education in Ching Taiwan.
2. To inquire the development and changes of the institutions of elementary education in Ching Taiwan.
3. To discuss the contributions of the elementary education to the transmission of Taiwanese culture and education.
Historical method was undertaken. First-hand and second-hand ones sources were used, such as official documents, private materials, and publications.
The main findings of this study are as follows:
1. Community schools (She-sheh), charity schools (I-sheh), and private schools were the three major patterns of the institutions of the elementary education in Ching Taiwan
2. She-sheh emerged from the Yuan dynasty, I-sheh from the Song dynasty, and private school from the Han dynasty. She-sheh and I-sheh were established and sponsored by the public, but private schools did not so.
3. In Ching Taiwan, the total numbers of She-sheh were about 273, I-sheh about 83, and private schools about 1127. She-sheh played the major role before Emperor Chang-Long, but private schools took its place after Emperor Chia-Ching. As to I-sheh had much less influence than the others.
4.Compared to the formal schools, county schools and academies, private schools played a significant role in the educational development in Ching Taiwan, which importance should not be ignored any more.
