DIETARY CONDITIONS AND DIFFERENTIAL ACCESS TO FOOD RESOURCES AMONG THE VARIOUS CLASSES DURING THE HAN PERIOD
No full textIn this thesis, I study how food resources and dietary conditions were determined by social and economic status during the Han period in China, B.C. 206~A.D.220. Even though earlier scholars have published research concerning the Chinese food culture of this period, these studies were limited in that they only illustrated the dietary culture of the upper class or the available food resources in one geographic area. Also, without any persuasive data, it has been assumed by these earlier scholars that there were big differences in food resources and food consumption between the upper and lower classes. In this thesis, for comparison among the classes, I divide the social and economic classes into five stratified groups: nobles, officials, peasants, soldiers and convicts. After a brief introduction of the nature of each social class, I examine the food resources and nutritional condition of each group using information such as the wealth and income of each group, the market price of food resources, the agricultural products of peasants, and the amount of food distribution to soldiers and convicts. I found these data from archaeological remains, received historical records and pictorial data, and excavated texts. This research shows a broader view of Chinese dietary condition focusing not only on the variety of food resources of nobles, but also on the different food accessibilities among the officials, and the food deficiencies of peasants. It also deals with the situations of food supply for soldiers and convicts in an effort to reveal the true dietary consumption and nutritional conditions for all Chinese. This research proves that the various classes during the Han period in China had different food resources and dietary conditions

Employee Motivation (Case: InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort, Vietnam)
No full textThe thesis focuses on identifying the definition and importance of employee motivation at a resort as well as suggesting methods to motivate this valuable capital. The commissioner of this study was InterContinental Danang Sun Peninsula Resort (ICDN) in Vietnam, one of the best luxurious resorts in the world. The company has obtained numerous awards and human capital is one of the factors contributing to the success of the company. Therefore, ICDN was chosen for a case study and the commissioner of the thesis to discover the ways ICDN has managed its human capital and motivate its employees.
Numerous kinds of literature on employee motivation, demotivation, methods of motivating employees, and employee motivation based on demographic factors, as well as the impact of the organizational structure on the motivation were studied. The research questions were how important employee motivation is at a big resort and how to retain this valuable capital in a competitive market.
The main research methodology was qualitative research methodology. Semi-structured interviews with six participants were conducted. The interviewees had different backgrounds. Two were managers and others were employees. The answers to the interview were compared to find the best solutions in policies and benefits in terms of employee motivation.
There was a variety of motivations being presented in this thesis. Thanks to the support of the commissioner, the responses from the interview were successfully collected and they contributed to the end result of the study. At the end of the thesis, the survey of the InterContinental Hotels Group was used to illustrate the percentage of the employees’ engagement from 630 respondents who are working at ICDN. It helps to consolidate the validity and reliability for the results of this research.
However, the opinions between managers and employees are not different. Most of the employees feel satisfied with the benefits at ICDN. Also, being a trainee in the Human Resource Department helps the author have a big picture and personally experience the policies in the business

Atomic structures of self-assembled epitaxially grown GdSi2 nanowires on Si(001) by STM
No full textSelf-assembled rare-earth (RE) silicide nanowires (NWs) on semiconductor surfaces are considered as good candidates for creating and investigating one-dimensional electron systems because of their exceptionally anisotropic growth behavior and metallic property. While detailed atomic structures are essential to understand electronic properties of these NWs, there have been only few successful observations of atomic structures with microscopy and reliable structure models are lacking. Here, we reinvestigate gadolinium silicide NWs with high resolution scanning tunneling microscopy (STM). We observe several different structures of Gd silicide NWs depending systematically on their widths, which consist of two distinct structural elements along the wires. The structure of a wide wire can be understood from that of a two dimensional silicide. Based on these STM observations, we propose new structure models of Gd silicide NWs. © 2019, The Author(s
A chart re-estimation algorithm for a probabilistic recursive transition network
No full textA Probabilistic Recursive Transition Network is an elevated version of a Recursive Transition Network used to model and process context-free languages in stochastic parameters. We present a re-estimation algorithm for training probabilistic parameters, and show how efficiently it can be implemented using charts. The complexity of the Outside algorithm we present is O(N(4)G(3)) where N is the input size and G is the number of states. This complexity cart be significantly overcome when the redundant computations are avoided. Experiments on the Penn tree corpus show that re-estimation can be done more efficiently with charts
A multilevel analysis of social capital and self-reported health: evidence from Seoul, South Korea
No full textAbstract Background This study aims to resolve two limitations of previous studies. First, as only a few studies examining social capital have been conducted in non-western countries, it is inconclusive that the concept, which has been developed in Western societies, applies similarly to an Asian context. Second, this study considers social capital at the individual-level, area-level and cross-levels of interaction and examines its associations with health while simultaneously controlling for various confounders at both the individual-level and area-level, whereas previous studies only considered one of the two levels. The purpose of this study is therefore to examine the associations between social capital and health by using multilevel analysis after controlling for various confounders both at the individual and area-levels (i.e., concentrated disadvantage) in non-western countries. Methods We conducted a cross-sectional survey from December 2010 to April 2011 in Seoul, South Korea. The target population included respondents aged 25 years and older who have resided in the same administrative area since 2008. The final sample for this study consisted of 4,730 respondents within all 25 of Seoul's administrative areas. Results In our final model, individual-level social capital, including network sources (OR = 1.23; 95% CI = 1.11-1.37) and organizational participation (OR = 2.55; 95% CI = 2.11-3.08) was positively associated with good/very good health. Interestingly, the individual × area organizational participation cross-level interaction was negatively associated with good/very good health (OR = 0.40; 95% CI = 0.32-0.50), indicating that in areas with higher organizational participation, individuals with high organizational participation were less likely to report good/very good health when compared to low organizational participation individuals. Conclusion Our study provides evidence that individual-level social capital is associated with self-reported health, even after controlling for both individual and area-level confounders. Although this study did not find significant relationships between area-level organizational participation and self-reported health, this study found the cross-level interaction for social capital. Hence, in areas with lower organizational participation, the probability of reporting good/very good health is higher for individuals with high organizational participation than individuals with low organizational participation. This study, albeit tentatively, suggests that policy makers should focus upon social capital when making policies which aim to enhance one's health.</p
