Culture and application of healthy indigenous seed-bulb for production of garlic greens in Taiwan
No full text利用健康種蒜生產優質青蒜加上產期調節應用是目前業者較能獲利的經營之道。健康種蒜應採自發育良好，鱗莖充分成熟的植株，蒜球無任何生理或傳染性病變、蟲蝕或機械傷害等現象。但其中病毒病無法由蒜球上以肉眼判別是否感染，因此病毒檢定成為健康種蒜繁殖體系的關鍵。台灣發生的大蒜病毒計有洋蔥黃萎病毒(OYDV)、大蒜嵌紋病毒(GMV)、菸草嵌紋病毒(TMV)、大蒜潛隱病毒(GLV)、分蔥潛隱病毒(SLV)、大蒜普通潛隱病毒(GCLV)、韭蔥黃條斑紋病毒(LYSV)、分蔥黃條斑紋病毒(SYSV)、蟎媒長絲狀病毒(MbFV)及未經命名的長絲狀病毒等。利用農試所現有蔥屬作物病毒檢定試劑可以測得GLV、SLV、OYDV、LYSV、及GCLV，進而用以篩檢健康材料。為加速育成本土優質青蒜的健康種球，收集宜蘭白蒜珠芽6335粒，以間接法免疫酵素分析(ELISA)全面篩檢後保存無上述病原之材料，得1702粒健康氣生鱗莖，取其小蒜瓣繁殖成蒜球，在栽培期中淘汰呈現病徵之蒜株，剩餘無病徵株則維持生長至結球完全成熟，採收後採樣其中1200顆進一步測試，結果證實99.58％皆無病毒反應。所收取的蒜球經恆溫貯藏試驗，可維持更長時間之種蒜活力，此有利於延後播種以調節產期。以2001年四月底採收的宜蘭白蒜健康種蒜第一代球為材料，經30℃恆溫貯藏至翌年一月才播種進行田間試驗，藉以評估利用本土健康種蒜春作青蒜的效益，結果在蒜白長度方面宜蘭白蒜極顯著高於進口蒜種育成的蒼山蒜，在蒜白直徑則蒼山蒜顯著粗於宜蘭白蒜，發病等級調查因蒼山蒜植株葉片黃化嵌紋較多，其病害指數(Diseaseseverity)高於宜蘭白蒜。再經ELISA調查兩種青蒜在生育末期所發生的各種病毒發生率(Incidence)，結果宜蘭白蒜較蒼山蒜低。
Garlic greens only with high quality and produced at optimal time are profitable in Taiwan. The garlic greens with subtle texture and elongated white stalks are most cost-effective in the market. The health of garlic seed-bulb is requisite for producing advantageous greens. The conditions for healthy seed-bulbs are: completely developed plants, fully matured bulbs, no physiological or transmissible diseases, and no damages caused by insect or machinery. Besides, the bulbs are indexed free from invisible virus infection. In Taiwan, garlic is susceptible to many viruses like Onion yellow dwarf virus (OYDV), Garlic mosaic virus (GMV), Tobacco mosaic virus (TMV), Garlic latent virus (GLV), Leek yellow stripe virus (LYSV), Garlic common latent virus (GCLV), Shallot yellow stripe virus (SYSV), and Mite-borne filamentous virus (MbFV). To facilitate the indexing of viruses, a complex garlic virus diagnostic reagent was developed to detect GLV, SLV, LYSV, OYDV and GCLV simultaneously by indirect ELISA. Accordingly, bulbs of promising garlic clones, which suitable for garlic greens cultivation in local environments, can be collected and indexed for special pathogen free (SPF). The garlic seed-bulb propagation through aerial bulbils cultivation will accelerate the multiplication rate and efficiency of virus eradication. A total of 6335 bulbils of the indigenous clone were selected, out of which 1702 bulbils were screened for SPF. Cloves from the SPF bulbils were planted for bulb production and the diseased plants were eradicated during growing season. Harvested bulbs were tested again and out of 1200 bulbs tested 99.58% proved to be SPF. For the off-season production of garlic greens, seed-bulbs constantly stored at 30 were preserved their vigor longer than those at room temperature. To evaluate the effect of healthy indigenous 'Yilan' garlic seed-bulb for production of garlic greens in the spring, the bulbs harvested in April 2001 were stored at 30 till January 2002 for conducting the field experiment. Comparing with garlic clone 'Tsangshan' imported from China, the plants derived from healthy 'Yilan' seed-bulbs yielded longer but thinner white stalk. The disease severity of 'Tsangshan' was significantly higher than 'Yilan' according to the degree of plants showing mosaic and yellowing symptoms. As a result of ELISA obtained at the late growth stage of garlic plants, the incidences of viruses occurred on the clone of 'Yilan' were lower than those on 'Tsangshan'
Performance of Vocational Assessment Programs for People with Disabilities-An Example of Vocational Assessment Programs (2001-2005) in Taipei City
No full text本研究透過學者專家座談會、次級資料分析、以及電訪問卷調查等方法，針對台北市90至94年職評服務方案進行資料蒐集與分析，希能對於身心障礙者職業輔導評量服務的影響與成效方面，提供相關實徵數據與研究成果，供政府、民間單位與學術界作為參考。其主要研究發現如下：一、對於90-94年被抽取之職評報告書的品質評估部分，除90年「建議事項是否適切」的平均分數低於中間值2.5分以外，其餘各項平均值均高於2.5分，且逐年上升，各年間之差距亦達統計顯著。二、根據94年職評追蹤調查結果的分析呈現出：「完全依照職評報告執行」占最多數，其次是「部分依照職評報告執行」，兩者相加在三次追蹤中至少都占83%以上。三、對於94年職評結果為「可就業」的個案，建議安置模式為一般性就業的個案，均「完全依照職評報告執行」，也就是說均在「就業中」(100%)。而建議安置模式為支持性就業的個案，其就業的比例至少為26.3%。至於建議安置模式為庇護性就業的個案，其就業的比例至少為51.7%。四、對於絕大多數的題目，案主／案家長對94年職評服務的滿意程度(職評需求滿足程度)均在六成以上；此外，對於每一個題目，轉介單位覺得滿意與非常滿意的比例均在七成六以上。從本研究所設定的指標與所獲得的研究結果來看，台北市的職評服務成果在進步之中，但仍有很大的努力空間。相關的建議與意涵將在文中加以討論。The data used in this study are collected from expert meeting, telephone survey, and secondary source in order to analyze "Vocational Assessment Programs for People with Disabilities (2001-2005) in Taipei City". The findings of this study will serve as an evidence-based data for the government and private social welfare agencies to improve such programs. The major findings are in the following. Firstly, in the evaluation of the quality of vocational assessment reports (2001-2005), the average scores in all items were over middle (score 2.5) just except the item of "appropriateness of the suggestions in vocational assessment report (2001)". In addition, the average scores went up from 2001 to 2005 and the differences among each year were statistically significant. Secondly, based on the 3 follow-ups of 2005 Vocational Assessment Program, the percentages of "in accordance with vocational assessment report entirely" and "in accordance with vocational assessment report partly" were at least 83 percent. Thirdly, for the clients of 2005 Vocational Assessment Program, 100% of them got job if the suggested placement is competitive employment, at least 26.3% of them got job if the suggested placement is supported employment, and at least 51.7% of them got job if the suggested placement is under protective/sheltered program. Fourthly, for most questions in survey, the ratio of satisfaction presented by client/parent was over 60 percent. In addition, the ratio of satisfaction reported by referral agency was over 76 percent for all questions. In general, the performance of Vocational Assessment Programs for People with Disabilities (2001-2005) in Taipei City kept progressing and made most clients/parents and referral agencies satisfied. The suggestions and implications were discussed
Cost-benefit and Cost-effectiveness Analysis for Community-based Employment Program for People with Disabilities-An Example of 2003-2005 Employment Program in Taipei City
No full text本研究從成本效益與成本效能分析的觀點，使用貫時性研究的方法，針對台北市92-94年度身心障礙者社區化就業服務方案進行分析。研究結果當方案剛結束時、總社會淨效益值為每人每年7,396.73元，而益本比為1.460；同時參與者的淨效益值也應為正值，這表示本方案確實有相當程度的機會將福利資源作有效率地運用並提升社會財富分配的公平性。至於若考慮到敏感性分析，則總社會淨效益值更至少上升到每人71,447.19元，益本比2.480。此外在92-94各年分別的狀況中可看出：每年的社會淨效益值均大於0，而且不斷升高，顯示現行制度是符合成本效益的。不過在不同障別間的比較方面，聽語障礙類、視覺障礙類與綜合類的益本比與成本效能比狀況較好，而相對地精神障礙類與心智障礙類則較不佳。This study, based on cost-benefit and cost-effectiveness analysis perspective and using longitudinal research method, analyzed 2003-2005 Employment Program for the People with Disabilities in Taipei City. The social net monetary benefit just after this program is NT71,447.19 per participant. The benefit cost ratio will be 2.480 then. In addition, the annual social net monetary benefits are positive and keep rising between 2003 to 2005. However, the benefit/effectiveness cost ratios of different categories of the people with disabilities are different. The benefit and effectiveness cost ratios of the category of the people with hearing/voice/speech mechanism, vision, and collective disabilities are larger than those with chronic psychosis and mental disability
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
