Reconstructing Smallpox Outbreaks, Transmission Channels, and Curing Methods in the Early Modern Ryukyu Islands
No full textAfter the advent of the Europeans in Asian waters, their traders and missionaries also arrived, above all on the main island of the archipelago, Okinawa. Travel, trade, diplomatic connections, and even migration were part and parcel of early modern Ryukyuan history. And with increasing ‘internationalisation’, contagious diseases were also imported from overseas. This chapter introduces outbreaks and treatment of smallpox epidemics in the Ryukyu Islands, with a preliminary reconstruction of the spread of the diseases and tentative transmission routes.

運動無我經驗研究
No full text[[abstract]]本研究主要在於以我國儒家、釋家、道家思想中有關論點，探討運動中無我的經驗、
其產生的過程、及經驗中的感受與成就。
研究方法採用直觀，以如入如、詮釋、描述等綜合的研究法，將三家無我經驗的觀點
，整理成系統加構，進一步推衍出運動無我經驗後，再與「射藝中之禪」一書所述的
焦我經驗加以佐證。後和人本心理學高峰經驗的理論對照、比較，而得到以下結果。
一•我執，使我在運動之際，對身體狀況，用具器材、勝負負得失、預期成就多所思
慮，不容易全心全意，全神貫注投人運動，無法獲得運動無我經驗。
二•去我執的原則，本乎身心合一，去從事儀式類型動作，可使本我，進入儀式的律
動中，逐漸忘卻我執的情識纏結，獲得適當的激發水準。
三•運動無我經驗，為一整全、完善、歡愉、自我實現的感受，運動者和運動成結合
的關係，自覺輕鬆、自然、不費力的將因難吃重的工作、動作圓滿和諧的完成，對勝
負得失，情緒焦慮都淡化排除在外，而強烈感知在運動中，自我的存在。
四•東西思想之交會，在於身體心靈合一的人。

凸透鏡成像迷思概念的詮釋系統研究
No full text[[abstract]]學習過程中的迷思與心智表徵是一個密切的循環關係，迷思幫助顯示既存的心智表徵
和理解目前的表徵，對除去誤解是很重要的，換言之，科學學習的迷思可以提供透視
心智功能的窗戶，學生可以用他的迷思去發展一個對概念的深層理解。
本文在認知心理及視覺理論為背景之下，以臨床法進行學生凸透鏡成像迷思概念詮釋
系統的探討，縱然研究的只是局部領域的，或一小部份的學生，但是這種模式可以有
一些超精細的結構(hyperfine structure) 。
在研究方法學上，處理「視覺問題」時，視覺心像一般認為在思考推理上是相當重要
的一環；因之本研究：凸透鏡成像迷思概念的詮釋系統表徵上，基模網路的表徵方式
頗能符合研究的需要；然而「視覺心像」又是二元編碼理論中非語意系統的要旨，在
研究上欲突破單純的迷思概念之發現，而嚐試做發現的解釋，二元編碼的表徵方式確
為這方面的利器之一。
本研究對國中三年級凸透鏡成像的迷思概念，提出三階段的詮釋系統及其主要的發現
綜合如下：
一、經由紙筆群測(272人) 及面談(12人)的結果，歸納學生對科學知識的主要想去：
並進而擷取學生的心智模型，再以二元編碼的理論表徵之。其研究發現如下：
1.「看」的本質方面有透鏡式光線模型、屏幕式光線模型、視線模型及折衷模型等。
2.凸透鏡的基本光學性質，學生持有經線模型和探照燈模型。
3.放大鏡的虛像
(1).放大鏡對光線的會聚或發散，學生持有結果模型、功能模型及調和模型。
(2).放大鏡的語意方面，學生一般持有語意系統的成像模型和非語意系統的物體放大
模型。
(3).放大鏡成像的位置，學生持有視角特徵模型、衝突的理論作圖模型及諧調的理論
作圖模型。
4.凸透鏡實像的形成，學生所持的心智模型有泛射式會聚成像模型、雙線式會聚成像
模型及光線投射模型等。
二、分析面談的原案，發現學生在特定問題下的推理架構有T 架構、R 架構及該架構
與學生心智模型具有互動關係。
三、循學生對科學知識的心智模型及推理的心智模型之架構，構思概念改變的機制，
並以Hashweh 的概念改變模型表徵，但仍待進一步的實證研究。
不同練習條件對動作技能學習的影響
No full text[[abstract]]本研究以六十名體育系男生為受試者，探討不同練習條件對動作技能學習的影響，六
種練習條件，依三種不同練習時次分配(試做間休息五秒，三０秒及三分鐘)及有無「
結果知識」提供而設計，以隨機分派方式，將受試者分為六組，各以一種練習條件動
態平衡及回專追蹤技能。每項技能均做二０次試做練習，第次試做時間二０秒，第一
五、一六次試做之間，均給予六分鐘休息。完成二０次試做後，分別於練習停止一天
後，一週後三週後及十二週後實施保留測驗。所得資料，想用二因子變異數分析及事
後比較等統計方法，考驗及比較不同練習條件的學習效果及保留效果之間的差異。研
究結果，經討論分析後，獲致如下結論：
一、練習時次分配對動作技能學習的影響因項目而異。動能平衡技能方面，三種練習
時次分配之間，無顯著差異，練習停止後的保留效果，分散練習與密集練習之間，無
顯著差異，回轉追蹤技能方面，試做間休息三分鐘之分散練習的學習效果優於其它兩
種練習時次分配：練習停止一天及一週後，練習時次分配愈為分散，保留效果愈優，
但練習停止三週及十二週後，則無顯著差異。
二、提供「結果知識」對兩種動作技能學習的影響亦不一致；動能平衡技能方面，有
無「結果知識」提供的學習效果及保留效果之間，均無顯著差異：回轉追蹤技能方面
，有「結果知識」提供的學習效果及練習停止一天的保留效果，優於無者，但練習停
止一週、三週、十二週後，則無顯著差異。
3DUNDERWORLD-SLS: A Structured-Light Scanning Software for Rapid Geometry Acquisition
No full text<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p>
<p>Recently, there has been an increase in the demand of virtual 3D objects representing real-life objects. A plethora of methods and systems have already been proposed for the acquisition of the geometry of real-life objects ranging from those which employ active sensor technology, passive sensor technology or a combination of various techniques. In this paper we present the development of a 3D scanning system which is based on the principle of structured-light, without having particular requirements for specialized equip-<br>
ment. We discuss the intrinsic details and inherent difficulties of structured-light scanning techniques and present our solutions. Finally, we introduce our open-source scanning software system ”3DUNDERWORLD-SLS” which implements the proposed techniques both in CPU and GPU. We have performed extensive testing with a wide range of models and report the results. Furthermore, we present a comprehensive evaluation of the system and a comparison with a high-end commercial 3D scanner.</p>

Strategies and tactics to stimulate Social enterprise business expansion-Swedish experience
No full textAbstract Title: Strategies and tactics to stimulate Social enterprise business expansion-Swedish experience Level: Final assignment for Master’s Degree in Business Administration Author: GU Yanhao Supervisor: Maria Fregidou-Malama Examiner: Lars Ekstrand Date: 2013-10-17 Aim: This study aims to identify elements which can affect social enterprise business expansion. Based on study, suggestions for social enterprises to achieve long term development are exhibited. Method: This research is a qualitative research based on case study. Relay on previous knowledge about social enterprises, I formulate questions which serve my study’s aim. There are three companies be selected in my case company list. Those three companies are divided in two categories: one type is social enterprise consultant company whose mission is to aid regional social enterprise to make health business operation; another type is social enterprise. There are four interview used in the research to ensure that the research result contains different perspectives and opinions. Result & Conclusions: This study depicts an overall view about social enterprise business expansion. Certain suggestions have been listed relay on the combination of previous literature result with case studies. In the study, various elements have been determined which have significant impacts on social enterprise business expansion operation. They are divided in two segments, internal and external. Internal aspects include human resource and social entrepreneur. External factors include third Part Company, non-profit charity groups and authority. Social enterprise who wants business expansion needs to integrate different resources from various social institutions. Meanwhile to enhance internal product capability as well as competitive advantage social enterprise needs to more emphasize on social entrepreneurs’ characteristics. Suggestion for further research: Further study should emphasize on various sizes of social enterprises in multi-stakeholders co-operation model. This study mainly focuses on SMEs type of SE, but with the time passing by, due to SE can offer solutions to social crisis and economic crisis, SE will be popular, and this idea will spread quickly. Therefore, more and more large size SE will emerge which needs guide and help with business maintaining and expansion plans. Contribution of the thesis: This study contributes to three aspects. First, this study analyses the present situation of social enterprise, exhibit internal and external factors which affect social enterprise to make business expansion. It offers social enterprise a path to implement business expansion, and help social enterprise to identify its potential capabilities which could help them achieve long term development. Secondly, during this work, author explains the ideology of social enterprise, what are its contributions to society as well as the reason why it exists. Since the results offer an explicitly structured conclusion, they are valuable information to society as well as local municipality to re-considerate the important role social enterprise can play. Last not the least, this research presents a new model of key elements for social enterprise business expansion. It is critical and crucial for further research in academic study.
