    [[abstract]]王鼎鈞先生在星雲大師《合掌人生(2)關鍵時刻》的推薦序〈向《合掌人生》合掌致敬〉提出了「星雲體」一詞,並略述其大概。此為「星雲體」一詞的最早提出,可惜並無後繼深入探索者。筆者在閱讀星雲大師相關作品後,深感王鼎鈞先生之言有據,「星雲體」確有其自成一家之特色。有感於此,筆者不以淺陋,試著對此議題提出可能性的建構。由於本文屬於相關議題之初期建構,因此,筆者藉由王鼎鈞認為將「星雲體」發揮得淋漓盡致的著作---《合掌人生》為主要討論範疇,企圖透過大師的個人特質、內容特色與形式特徵等面向,探討以建構「星雲體」之可能。[[abstract]]Mr. Wang Ding Jun proposed the term "Hsing Yun's literary genre" in the recommendation sequence of "The Key Time of the Life of namaste (2) in the master Hsing Yun", and outlined the term "Hsing Yun's literary genre". This is the earliest proposal of the term "Hsing Yun's literary genre", but unfortunately there is no follow-up explorer. After reading the works of the Master Hsing Yun, I deeply understand the words of Mr. Wang Ding Jun. The "Hsing Yun's literary genre" does have its own characteristics. I feel that this is not the case, I try to construct the possibility of this issue. Since this article belongs to the initial construction of related topics, the author believes that the work of "Hsing Yun's literary genre" is the main subject of discussion by Wang Ding Jun, and attempts to pass the master's personal characteristics, content characteristics and formal characteristics. I will discuss the possibility of constructing a "Hsing Yun's literary genre"

    No full text
    This study applies the VAR model to find possible responses of real GDP to selected macroeconomic variables in Venezuela. Based on an annual sample during 1961 - 2001, the author finds that the real GDP responds positively to a shcock to real M2 , goverment déficit spending, exchange rate depreciation, and the lagged output and negatively to a shick to the inflation rate during some of the time periods. Except for the lagged output, government deficit spending and the inflation rate are the most influential variable in the first year, and real M2 and the real exchange rate are more influential and have longer - term after the first year.Modelo VAR, política monetaria, déficit

    A Study of the Cultural Heritage and the Private Historical Houses Conservation-an Example of the Chai-Hsing Villa

    位於臺中縣潭子鄉的摘星山莊,是清末昭勇將軍林其中鳩工興建歷時八年所成。由於這座古宅完善的形制及裝飾的精美,被幾位古蹟愛好者及日本維修專家等認為是格局最完整、最具古樸之美的民居,因此摘星山莊被視為臺灣傳統十大民宅之首。後來基於經濟因素,屋主欲將土地售予建商興建別墅,幾經熱愛古蹟人士、學者專家及民意代表等奔走努力,方於民國八十六年底被指定為縣定古蹟。 然因屋主、建商與縣府之三方角力,利益糾葛纏訟多時致延宕古蹟之修復。直至九十一年四月才達成共識,辦理第一次的古蹟保存登記,正式成為國內第一起由政府出資買下的民宅古蹟的案例。筆者由於現居於潭子鄉,故選擇摘星山莊之民宅古蹟保存作為研究主題,分析其間對古蹟保存爭議的產生及其過程與影響。而文化資產乃是一個國家文化承續的具體表現,其中古蹟更是文化資產中最豐富的一項。因此,古蹟保存即為保存人類歷史之文化,亦為當今世界各國文化建設所共同追求的目標。目前摘星山莊已於九十九年五月完成第一期之主體建築修護,並正著手進行第二期之圍牆整建及其細部工程,期望不久的將來能將摘星山莊古樸之美再次完整呈現於國人面前。 基於以上論述,筆者建議政府對於古蹟保存與維護,更應以主動積極態度,匯集地方文化資源,整合地方主體意識,開創古蹟再利用之新領域,創造城鄉新風貌。並結合各級學校鄉土教育之實施,融入古蹟歷史、文化等面向之教育資源,達成學童對古蹟歷史背景與沿革的認知,增進對家鄉傳統文化的學習與了解,以及對於古蹟風格的認知與欣賞。Chai-Hsing Villa is located at Tantzu Township in Taichung County. It was built in end of Ching Dynasty by General Lin, Chi-Chung, whom was known to all for his bravery. The construction work took eight years from start to finish. This traditional Taiwan historic house is regarded as number one on the top ten historic houses in Taiwan by several antiquity enthusiasts and Japan antiquity maintenance experts because of its complete layout as well as its simple beauty in the exquisite shape and decoration. Due to the economic reasons, later on, the owner of this historic house wished to sell the land to the builder and build more country houses for better profit. This had become a main concern for many antiquity enthusiasts, historic scholars, and people's representatives. They worked very hard between the involved parties and the county government and finally Chai-Hsing Villa was identified as a historic house in 1997. However, the owner and the builder did not want to give up their chance to make profits; they both tangled with the county government with lawsuits for a number of years and this had caused some delays to repair the historic house. Finally, the parties reached a consensus in April 2002 and finished the first time ever- the registration of the preservation of antiquity. Therefore, Chai-Hsing Villa officially became the first historic house bought by the government. The author is currently living in Tantsu Township, therefore has chosen Chai-Hsing Villa as the study of the preservation of historic houses, analyzing the controversy on the occurrence of antiquity preservation within its process and impact. The cultural heritage is in fact a symbol in continuous expression of our national culture, among which, the historic antiquity is the most abundant. Therefore, antiquity preservation is not only the preservation of human history, but also a common goal for people all over the world to continuously develop their own culture. Chai-Hsing Villa has currently completed its first phase of repair in May 2010, and is embarking its second phase on the renovation of the wall and some detail engineering. We expect to fully present Chai-Hsing Villa's simplicity beauty once again and open to the public in the near future. Based on the above discussion, I suggest the government should be proactive in historic preservation and maintenance, keeping a positive attitude, bringing the local cultural resources together, integrating local consciousness, and creating new areas of historic re-use as well as a new look of urban and rural areas. Local schools at all levels of education should be combined with the implementation of the integration sites of historical, cultural and other resources for the education and enhance students on the historical background and cognition of evolution in history; promote the learning and understanding of traditional hometown culture, and understand for and be appreciative of historic antiquity styles.第一章 緒論…………………………………………………1 第一節 研究動機與目的……………………………………1 第二節 研究方法與研究限制………………………………8 第三節 文獻探討與過去研究回顧.………………………10 第二章 摘星山莊的歷史沿革與配置 ……………………17 第一節 摘星山莊的地理與區域環境 ……………………17 第二節 摘星山莊的林氏家族 ……………………………26 第三節 林其中的發跡與摘星山莊的創建 ………………31 第四節 摘星山莊的配置與建築 …………………………43 第三章 摘星山莊的爭議過程與修復現況 ………………73 第一節 摘星山莊的歲月痕跡 ……………………………73 第二節 摘星山莊的爭議過程 ……………………………79 第三節 摘星山莊的修復情形 ……………………………95 第四章 摘星山莊的維護與鄉土教育的應用……………104 第一節 摘星山莊的文化資產維護與保存………………104 第二節 摘星山莊與鄉土教育的應用……………………107 第五章 結論………………………………………………111 參考書目……………………………………………………115 附錄…………………………………………………………12

    [[abstract]]  國內傳統寺廟附設圖書館,從事文化志業者並不多見,能夠在台灣首善之區(台北市),設立佔地3,000坪,新書與一流書局同步;經營媲美國家圖書館的「行天宮附設玄空圖書館」,更是鳳毛麟角。身為非營利事業管理之研究者,當然樂見其經營有成,在敬佩之餘,對玄空圖書館之組織運作、經營績效及服務成果,產生莫大的興趣。爰以「傳統寺廟經營文化志業之研究」為題,以「財團法人台北市行天宮附設玄空圖書館」為例,來進行本論文之構思與寫作。   本研究係針對本文之研究目的與問題,採取質化研究法(田園調查、深度訪談與問卷調查),經由個案描述,將研究結果加以歸納分析,獲得以下幾點結論: 一、 佛教較注重教育文化的傳承與推動;道教寺廟則以舉辦盛大廟會為主。二、 行天宮經營玄空圖書館,推動文化志業,將有助於其社會形象之提升。三、 以管理情境理論分析,具傳統寺廟背景之玄空圖館在經營上是較具優勢的。四、 玄空圖書館,實至名歸,已成為好的非營利組織。[[abstract]]  Only a few of traditional temples have subsidiary libraries to deal with cultural philanthropies. Hsing Tien Kong library was established at the most prosperous area of Taipei city in Taiwan. This Library owns about 3000 acres for its building and keeps steps with the first-class book-stores, which is as well-equipped as any other national ones. It is so rare and to be the elite.   For giving my best respects to this library, I am heavily interested in the operation of the organization and performances of the library. Therefore, my study is a managerial research of traditional temple on conducting cultural philanthropy –A case study of Hsing Tien Kong Library.   The result comes from qualitative research such as: field-study, in-depth interviews and questionnaire, etc. By means of case study and data analysis, the author wants to investigate what is the key to a successful administration and management of the library. We hope that results of the study will help to improve the quality of the administration and management of non-profit cultural philanthropy.   The conclusion of the study is the following:1. Buddhism emphasizes on the promotion of the cultural education; Taoism focuses on the enormous temple activities.2. The attention to the promotion of cultural philanthropy paid by Hsing Tien Kong Library will be beneficial to the elevation of social image for Hsing Tien Kong temple.3. According to the analysis of SWOT theory, Hsing Tien Kong library, which is on the background of traditional temple, will be more competitive on Library-operation.4. Hsing Tien Kong Library has already become an excellent N.O.P

    Application of the IS-MP-IA model to the German economy and policy implications

    No full text
    Extending the IS-MP-IA model developed by Romer (2000) and applying the GARCH (Engle, 1982, 2001) methodology, the author finds that equilibrium GDP in Germany is positively affected by stock market performance and real exchange rate appreciation, and negatively influenced by the expected inflation rate, the government deficit/GDP ratio, and the U.S. federal funds rate. The relatively low deficit/GDP ratio of 1.83% in 2003 indicates that its fiscal condition was healthy. However, some other EU members may need to exercise fiscal discipline. Because real appreciation has a positive impact on output, a stronger euro may not be a concern for Germany but may be worried by those EU member nations which depend upon exports to stimulate their economies.

    Quantification of myocardial macromolecular transport

    Thesis (S.M.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, 2000.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 66-68).The needs and impacts of drug administration have evolved from a systemic to a local focus. Local drug delivery would allow a higher local drug concentration at lower systemic toxicity than what can be achieved if delivered systemically. One of the tissues of interest for local delivery is the heart, or myocardium. Increasingly, clinicians are looking to direct myocardial delivery for therapy of complex cardiovascular diseases. Yet, there is little quantitative data on the rates of macromolecular transport inside the myocardium. A porcine model was used in this work as it is most closely similar to humans in size, structure and morphology. Using a technique previously developed in this laboratory to quantify the distribution of macromolecules, the delivery of compounds directly into the myocardium was evaluated. To make quantification generic and not specific for a particular drug or compound, fluorescent-labeled 20kDa and 150kDa dextrans were used to simulate small and large diffusing macromolecules. Diffusion in the myocardium in two directions, transmural and cross-sectional, were investigated to look at diffusion of compounds along and against the myocardium fiber orientation. Fluorescent microscopy was used to quantify concentration profiles, and then the data was fit to a simple diffusion model to calculate diffusivities. This validated the technique developed. The diffusivities of 20kDa dextran in the transmural and cross-sectional direction were calculated to be 9.49 ± 2.71 um2/s and 20.12 ± 4.10 um2/s respectively. The diffusivities for 150kDa were calculated to be 2.39 ± 1.86um 2/s and 3.23 ± 1.76um2/s respectively. The diffusivities of the two macromolecules were statistically different (p < 0.02 for transmural direction and p < 0.01 for cross-section direction). While the diffusion for the larger macromolecule was isotropic, it was not the case for the smaller one. The calculated diffusivity values in the myocardium correlated with previously published data for dextran in the arterial media, suggesting that the transport properties of the myocardium and arterial media may be similar. Applications of quantitative macromolecular transport may include developing novel therapies for cardiovascular diseases in the future.by Jeff M. Hsing.S.M

    [[abstract]]星雲大師藉一筆字弘揚人間佛教,但因晚年視力衰退,書作必須一氣呵成,故在書寫前必先意匠經營,預想筆意及整體布局,然後下筆,由此而稱為一筆字。由於作品必須一氣貫注,筆勢連貫,有如行雲流水,或仍是筆斷意連,此即符合古來書法美學原理;兼且大師一筆字內容深入淺出,寓含哲理,常令信眾得到啟發,歡喜讚歎,而達成弘法之效。此一現象,值得加以探討。本文係從一筆字的書法造詣及文學表現二個向度加以探討,一方面追溯書法源流,從王獻之一筆書,以及行草書的筆法、創作原則及美學原理,對於星雲大師的一筆字書法,作學理上的探討;筆者認為星雲大師的書法造詣,可以上承古代書法的傳統,又自具特色,能於當世書壇自立一家門戶。另一方面,古代書法名家,不僅書寫古今文學佳篇,另外,亦必有自創之文學作品,以配合書藝表現。本文即根據此一向度,對於一筆字的內容,分別從思想情感及文學的修辭敘事二個層面,闡揚其中值得關注的表現;故本文也將對大師諸多一筆字的書法造詣及文學表現,分別予以解析。[[abstract]]Master Hsing Yun carries forward Buddhism on Earth with one-stroke calligraphy. Getting poor eyesight in old age, he had to presuppose and arrange before writing and then finished a calligraphic work in one sweep. When reading his calligraphy work, one can feel the momentum and that is why he entitled his work‘one-stroke calligraphy’. The written contents Master Hsing Yun created were easy to understand and included meanings of life philosophy that the public were fond of and got inspired a lot. In the article, the author would explore the‘one-stroke calligraphy’ created by Master Hsing Yun from two dimensions. First, to explore both the calligraphy art-tradition since Wang Xian-Zhi and Master Hsing Yun’s own characteristics in his calligraphy aesthetics. Second, to inquire into the rhetoric, narratives and affections of his calligraphy literature
