Between environmental literature and ocean literature, Syaman Rapongan and Liao Hongji
No full textThe subject of the bachelor thesis is a literary analysis of selected works with oceanic subject matter by contemporary Taiwanese authors Syaman Rapongan (*1957) and Liao Hongji (*1957). Rapongan's novel The Eyes of the Sky (2012) and Liao Hongji's short story cycle Fishermen (1996) will be presented in the broader context of "bentu literature" (bentu wenxue; i.e., local Taiwanese literature) and closely related environmental and ocean literature. In the analytical part, the author will focus on the motivic construction in the work of Rapongan and Liao in relation to ocean and environmental themes. The main focus will be on the differences in the conception of the ocean and marine culture in Rapongan's work as a member of the indigenous tribe Tao, and Liao Hongji, whose origin is Han. The thesis further examines whether and how environmental and oceanic literature overlap, using Wu Mingyi's definition of environmental literature. Keywords Syaman Rapongan, Liao Hongji, ocean literature, environmental literature, bentu wenxu

Raponganův román Oči Nebes (2012, přel. Šimonová, 2017) a Liao Hongjiho povídkový cyklus Rybáři (1996, přel. Krámská, 2017) budou představeny v širším kontextu "literatury bentu" (bentu wenxue; tj. místní taiwanské literatury) a s ní úzce související environmentální a oceánské literatury. V analytické části se autorka zaměří na motivickou výstavbu v tvorbě Rapongana a Liaoa ve vztahu s oceánskou a environmentální tematikou. Hlavní důraz bude kladen na rozdíly v pojetí oceánu a mořské kultury v tvorbě Rapongana jako příslušníka kmene původních obyvatel Tao, a Liao Hongjiho, jehož původ je hanský. Práce dále zkoumá, zda a jak se proudy environmentální a oceánské literatury překrývají, při čemž pracuje s definicí environmentální literatury podle Wu Mingyiho.

Inflammation-associated D-dimer predicts neurological outcome of recent small subcortical infarct: A prospective clinical and laboratory study
No full textExperimental and simulation analysis of energy absorption capacity of 3D printed structure design
No full textThis article presents the experimental and simulation analysis of the energy absorption capacity
of a 3D printed structure design. The study focuses on investigating the influence of the
honeycomb structure with various orientations on its energy absorption capacity under various
loading conditions. Finite element analysis (FEA) simulations are used to predict the energy
absorption capacity of different honeycomb structures under compression and impact loading
conditions. ANSYS software is utilized for explicit dynamics simulation, which is effective for
situations involving large deformation and contact-dominated behavior. Meshing is a critical
step in the simulation process as it directly affected the accuracy and efficiency of the results.
The experimental analysis is carried out by subjecting the 3D printed honeycomb structure to
compression and impact tests, and the results are compared with the simulation data. The study
found that the geometrical design optimization of the honeycomb structure can significantly
improve its energy absorption capacity. The article contributes valuable insights for the design
and optimization of 3D printed honeycomb sandwich structures for energy absorption
applications.Bachelor of Engineering (Mechanical Engineering
New insights into principles of scaffolds design for bone application
No full textThis thesis presents deeper insights into bone applicable biomaterials’ design. Poor affinity of BMP-2 towards scaffolds required supra-physiological dose administration. Though molecules containing sulfate could sustain BMP-2 release, side effects occurred due to BMP-2 supra-dose, or these sulfate-containing biomolecules. Improved affinity between BMP-2 and scaffolds was first witnessed by using an acidic carrier (paper I). Hyaluronic acid (HA) hydrazone derived hydrogels having a pH of 4.5-loaded BMP-2 showed sustained release of bioactive BMP-2 in vitro and enhanced bone formation in vivo, while pH 7 HA hydrogels showed Fickian behavior and less bone formation in vivo. Computational evaluation revealed stronger electrostatic interactions between BMP-2, and HA were predominant at pH 4.5, whereas, weaker Van der Waals interactions played a key role at pH 7. During the pre-bone formation phase, endogenous cell responses to pH 4.5 and 7 with or without BMP-2 were investigated. HA hydrogels exhibited extraordinary biocompatibility and recruitment of neutrophils, monocytes, macrophages and stromal cells regardless of hydrogels’ pH and BMP-2 presence. The different inflammatory responses to HA hydrogels were observed (Appendix). Thiol derivatives can cleave the disulfide bond of BMP-2 to generate inactive monomeric BMP-2. In paper II, thiol-acrylate chemistry-based HA hydrogels (HA-SH) were compared to hydrazone-based HA hydrogels as BMP-2 carriers. Thiol modified HA disrupted BMP-2 integrity and bioactivity. HA-SH hydrogels with BMP-2 exhibited less bioactive BMP-2 release in vitro and induced less bone formation in vivo. Accumulated evidence has shown great osteogenic potential of lithium ions (Li). In paper III, we coordinated Li onto HA-PVA hydrazone hydrogels (Li-gel); Li-gel enhanced 3D cultured hMSCs osteogenic differentiation and induced higher bone formation in CAM defect model. Instead of BMP-2 protein, delivery of BMP-2-coding-plasmid can produce BMP-2 over a long term at a closer physiological level. Yet, efficient gene delivery reagents are needed. In paper IV, two novel gene delivery nanoplexes were developed by post coating DNA-nanoplexes with chondroitin sulfate (CS). To ensure the stability, aldehyde-modified CS (CS-CHO) reacted with free amines of pDNA/PEI complexes. We provided first evidence that CS-CHO coated nanoplexes controlled the release from endosomes, which is essential for higher transfection efficiency
