Can a Cognitive–Perceptual–Physical Battery Predict Driving Competence for People With Mild Cognitive Impairments? A Pilot Study
Abstract
Date Presented 3/30/2017
Our research showed that some people with mild cognitive impairments can still drive safely. In addition, visuocognitive assessments, seldom included in driving evaluation in the literature, may predict performance in on-road assessment. Realistic on-road assessment is needed.

The politics of fashion: perceptions of power in female clothing and ornamentation as reflected in the sixteenth-century Chinese novel Jin Ping Mei
This thesis examines issues of female power and influence in sixteenth-century China focusing on how women and their roles were perceived in the changing social environment of the mid-late Ming dynasty. Using aspects of a New Historicist approach, information from contemporary literary and historical sources are analysed alongside each other. With its emphasis on the lives of women and preoccupation with the description of material objects, the late Ming novel Jin Ping Mei forms an important element in the thesis. China in the sixteenth century saw expanding urbanisation, the emergence of a new wealthy merchant class, increasing visibility of women and a questioning of traditional morality. Fashion consciousness, as one of the most conspicuous aspects of the new material culture, is a possible indicator of these trends. Traditional Western theories contend that fashion began in the particular context of Renaissance Europe. However, this study argues that a similar fashion awareness existed in China too, and was manifested in a competitive striving for social status, in this case specifically among women. In contrast to previous studies which downplayed the impact women had on defining traditional Chinese culture, this thesis demonstrates how women and their sartorial choices began to redefine the boundaries of material culture, influencing literati discourse which, in turn, re- influenced female behaviour
[[alternative]]Literature Development in Tzu Tung and Lin Nei Areas
[[abstract]] 儘管雲林縣是農業縣,居民的生計以農為主,但它在台灣文學發展舞台上不曾缺席。日治時期,詩社是傳承古典漢學的主要機構,全盛時期全台有將近二百八十個詩社,雲林縣佔了十二個,分佈在境內二十個鄉鎮市中。現在研究日治時期的古典文學,主要仍以詩社為主,有設置詩社者,自然有詩人詩作供蒐尋,可是像莿桐和林內未設置詩社者,文風較不利,要蒐集研究這裡的古典文學較困難。筆者花了一年多的時間,出入二地七八次,完成本篇論文報告,對莿桐與林內地區的文學發展作了粗略的描述。 本篇論文共分五章,第一章緒論,說明研究的動機與目的、研究方法與文獻探討、研究範圍與遭遇困難。 第二章為莿桐與林內地區地理、歷史與文教概況,本章希望對二地的文學背景做一番介紹與探討,從橫面來說,範圍涵蓋地理、歷史與文教的論述,從縱面來說,時間則上自明清時代,歷經日治時期到戰後時期。 第三章為莿桐與林內地區古典文學的發展,以時間將古典文學的發展分割為明清時期、日治時期與戰後時期,針對不同的時期、不同的地區做描述。文中屬於莿桐鄉的詩人有陳元亨、周新附、林等、林圓、江藻如、廖發、謝秀才、林萬舉、林木全、黃茂己與傅榮生;屬於林內鄉的詩人有林正立與許紹明等人。 第四章為莿桐與林內地區現代文學的發展,二地的作家,作品都出現在戰後,莿桐鄉的作家有許細妹、林保寶、李蜀瀛、林秀桂、嚴保江等人,林內鄉的作家則有林正立、許紹明、張龍樹、黃育珍等人。 第五章為結論,論述莿桐與林內地區古典與現代文學發展的特色,並提出建議。在古典文學的特色方面有:與鄰近地區互動密切、靠私塾傳授古典文學、詩學名家貢獻詩壇、自組詩會展現生命力。現代文學的特色有:作家多非居住在本地、作品種類多樣等。[[abstract]] Although Yunlin County is an agriculture county where residents’ livelihood is based on agriculture, it is not absent from the stage of the development of Taiwanese literature. During the Japanese Occupation Period, poetry society was the major institution that inherited classical Han Learning. In its most flourishing times, there were two hundred and eighty poetry societies throughout Taiwan. Yunlin County had its share of twelve poetry societies that disperse in twenty villages, towns and cities within county border. The study of classical literature in Japanese Occupation Era is based on poetry society. For those that had establishment of poetry society, researchers may search for and collect the poetry written by poets; yet, for those without poetry society like Tzu Tung and Lin Nei, they had disadvantages in studying literature. It is comparably difficult to collect classical literature in this region where took the author seven to eight trips in more than one year in and out of these two locations in order to finish this thesis. This paper intends to have a brief description of literature development in Tzu Tung and Lin Nei areas. This paper is organized into five chapters. Chapter 1 is the introduction which explains research motive and objectives, research method and literature reviews, scope of research and research limitation. Chapter 2 depicts the geography, history and general situation of culture and education in Tzu Tung and Lin Nei areas. This chapter intends to introduce and explore the literature background in these two areas. From a horizontal perspective, the scope of research covers the discussion of geography, history, culture and education; from a longitude perspective, the study covers the time since from Ming and Qin Dynasties to the era of Japanese Occupation and Post-war. Chapter 3 discusses the development of classical literature in Tzu Tung and Lin Nei areas. The development of classical literature is divided into the era of Ming and Qin Dynasties, Japanese Occupation, and Post-war. The poets from Tzu Tung Village were Chen Yuan-heng, Chou Hsin-fu, Lin Teng, Lin Yuan, Chiang Tsao-ju, Liao Fa, Hsieh Hsiu-tsai, Lin Wan-chu, Lin Mu-chuan, Huang Mao-chi, and Fu Jung-sheng. The poets from Lin Nei Village were Lin Cheng-li, and Hsu Shao-ming. Chapter 4 introduces the development of modern literature in Tzu Tung and Lin Nei areas. This type of poetry by poets in two areas appeared after the war. The poets in Tzu Tung Village were Hsu Hsi-mei, Lin Pao-pao, Li Shu-ying, Lin Hsiu-kuei, and Yen Pao-chiang. Poets in Lin Nei Village were Lin Cheng-li, Hsu Shao-ming, Chang Lung-shu, and Huang Yu-chen. Chapter 5 is the conclusion that discusses the characteristics of classical and modern literature development in Tzu Tung and Lin Nei areas and proposes suggestions. The characteristics in classical literature include: close connection with neighboring areas; private school to teach classical literature; famous poets’ contribution to poetry circles; poetry society self-organized to demonstrate energy. The characteristics in modern literature include: poets mostly did not reside in local area; poetry work in great varieties
Six-band Antenna Design for the Mobile Phone
A six-band antenna design for the mobile phone is presented. The required bandwidth for DTV/GSM850/900/DCS/PCS/UMTS operation is achieved by using two antennas. For DTV/GSM850/900 operation, we propose a novel antenna by using the concept of the dipole antenna and an internal matching portion to excite the half- and one-wavelength resonant modes of the antenna. With the internal matching portion, the frequency ratio of the two resonant modes can be controlled, thereby making the two resonant modes formed into a very wide operating band. For DCS/PCS/UMTS operation, a novel monopole slot antenna is used. The lower-edge frequency of the slot antenna depends on its length and the required bandwidth can be achieved by adjusting its tuning section. Effects of casing and human body on the proposed mobile phone antenna are also discussed. It is found that the radiation efficiency of DTV/GSM bands is larger than that of DCS/PCS/UMTS bands in this design. However, overall the operating bands, the antenna performances are greatly affected when the human effects are taken into considerations
Mobile Authentication Framework with Personal Secret Authorization Based on Trust Zone and Third Party Authentication Service
Thanks to emerging mobile communications, mobile application services are ubiquitously available. It is infeasible to depend on merely password-based identity identification for the security of service access control. To fulfill the identification for high-security online services, there are many authentication methods by the means of what knowledge users know,what things users have, and who the users are. Short message service (SMS) -based verification mechanism for identification is a kind of authentication methods and adopted widely, where the verification code to challenge the ownership of a mobile number of a user is sent via mobile network channel for the user to processed the following identification procedure. However, such two-factor authentication (2FA) mechanism using SMS service may be cracked. By spreading malicious APPs to infect the operating systems of user devices, attackers can eavesdrop on the victim\ue2s mobile phone data including SMS messages that can achieve fraudulent usage of the victim\ue2s credit card. To solve the problems, this work proposes a 2FA mechanism that uses trusted execution environment (TEE), which provides the highest level of security, where all critical data are stored and operated in a hardware-protected execution environment, to achieve the secure storage and calculation of private data. Additionally, to improve user account security this mechanism is designed based on Open Authorization 2.0 (OAuth2.0) with the selected secret data protected in TEE for the integration of third party online authentication services, such as Google, Facebook, etc., with our TEE-based authentication against hijacking of computing device by malware, which leads to failed user authentication
