No full textAbstract
Date Presented 4/1/2017
This study developed a Chinese version of the Theory of Mind Inventory (ToMI–C) for assessing theory of mind (ToM) performance in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in actual social contexts. The ToMI–C will facilitate the evaluation of the ToM of Taiwanese children with ASD accurately.

[[alternative]]The Teacher’s Role in the Changing Society : A Study on the Change of the Teacher’s Role-Expectation of Elementary School Teachers in Taiwan.
No full text[[abstract]]The research explores teachers’ roles in a changing society. It examines the administrative staff, teachers, and parents of Taiwan public elementary schools from “the teacher’s role-expectation” point of view, and analyzes three different groups of subjects. Findings of scholars Ching-Jiang Lin (1971) and Kuei-Hsi Chen (1975) were used.
The research goals are: (1) Analyze the relation between social change, education reform and teacher’s role. (2) Discuss theories of role, teacher’s role, and teacher’s role-expectation. (3) Compare self-role expectations of teachers from different backgrounds. (4) Describe attitude of administrative staff with various backgrounds toward teacher’s role-expectations. (5) Study attitudes of parents with different backgrounds toward teacher’s role-expectations. (6)understand concept of three kinds of statuses toward teacher’s role-expectations.
(7)Analyze changes of teacher’s roles in different times. (8) Propose feasible suggestions.
This research first collects related thesis to discuss social change, education reform, and teacher’s role-expectation. Further, questionnaires were used to collect data, while the main research tool follows the works of Ching-Jiang Lin and Kuei-Hsi Chen. 1,605 school administrative staffs, teachers, and parents served as objects.
A statistics application program, SAS, was used and results from the percentage analysis, the mean value analysis and one-way ANOVA concludes: (1) Teachers’ philosophy has changed due to social changes. (2) Teachers can adapt to campus power structures. (3) Students’ human rights makes physical punishment controversial (4) Results of the teacher career ladder system is two-fold. (5) Teachers are held to higher moral standards. (6) Education reform has affected curriculum and teaching approaches. (7) Teachers manage the class with democracy and care. (8) Campus democratic spirit affects the interaction between teacher and administration. (9) Teachers are important to the community.
This research offers a few suggestions to elementary school teachers, schools, teachers’ colleges, the Ministry of Education and further researchers.

Title of Thesis: The Study on the Policy Implementation for the Protection of Intellectual Property Rights in Taiwan, Republic of China─Case Analysis of the Integrated Enforcement Task Force
Student:Liao,Kao-jiang Advisor:Dr.&Prof. Chi, Chun-chen
Abstract:
21century is a knowledge-oriented century, and an era winning victory by knowledge and wisdom. The shapeless property has surpassed the shaped property in importance. In the past, the national strength is closely concerned with its labors, land and resources, but now, the Intellectual Property Rights( under for short IPR) is, in stead, a mainly key point in influencing a country’s competition ability.
On January 1st, 2002, Taiwan became a member of the World Trade Organization formally. In order to carry out a member’s obligation, obey the “Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights” ( under for short TRIPs), and face the challenge of the “knowledge- oriented economy” age, Taiwan should reinforce efforts in IPR protection works, and encourage creation, as well as upgrade its industries.
The protection of IPR is a long-term task, On facing the advance in technology, and the availability of copy equipments, this essay analyzes the factors, modus operandi and trends of the deteriorating IPR infringement cases, and research the organization, operation of IPR police force, and their anti-pirate achievement in coordinating with policy, based on related theories in IPR policy execution and principles in economy-criminology. We hope we could find the problems in factual conditions, and offer objective conclusion as well as feasible suggestions to those who make and execute IPR’s protection policy for reference.

Partial Functional Rescue of Helicoverpa armigera Single Nucleocapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus Infectivity by Replacement of F Protein with GP64 from Autographa californica Multicapsid Nucleopolyhedrovirus
No full textTwo distinct envelope fusion proteins (EFPs) (GP64 and F) have been identified in members of the Baculoviridae family of viruses. F proteins are found in group II nucleopolyhedroviruses (NPVs) of alphabaculoviruses and in beta- and deltabaculoviruses, while GP64 occurs only in group I NPVs of alphabaculoviruses. It was proposed that an ancestral baculovirus acquired the gp64 gene that conferred a selective advantage and allowed it to evolve into group I NPVs. The F protein is a functional analogue of GP64, as evidenced from the rescue of gp64-null Autographa californica multicapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (MNPV) (AcMNPV) by F proteins from group II NPVs or from betabaculoviruses. However, GP64 failed to rescue an F-null Spodoptera exigua MNPV (SeMNPV) (group II NPV). Here, we report the successful generation of an infectious gp64-rescued group II NPV of Helicoverpa armigera (vHaBac Delta F-gp64). Viral growth curve assays and quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR), however, showed substantially decreased infectivity of vHaBac Delta F-gp64 compared to the HaF rescue control virus vHaBac Delta F-HaF. Electron microscopy further showed that most vHaBac Delta F-gp64 budded viruses (BV) in the cell culture supernatant lacked envelope components and contained morphologically aberrant nucleocapsids, suggesting the improper BV envelopment or budding of vHaBac Delta F-gp64. Bioassays using pseudotyped viruses with a reintroduced polyhedrin gene showed that GP64-pseudotyped Helicoverpa armigera single nucleocapsid nucleopolyhedrovirus (HearNPV) significantly delayed the mortality of infected H. armigera larvae
