Full textAbstract:
Self-directed behaviours (SDB) were recorded as a behavioural indicator of arousal in free-ranging vervet monkeys (Chlorocebus aethiops) inhabiting the Klein Karoo of South Africa. Measurement of SDB allowed for changes in arousal to be correlated with particular social situations, potentially providing insight into how monkeys perceive their social world. The research presented here is divided into three core chapters demonstrating that 1) arousal is influenced to a greater extent by degree of association than by hierarchical rank, 2) that an individual‟s level of arousal is influenced by its neighbour‟s spatial location, and 3) that habituated animals that no longer perceive humans as a direct threat nevertheless continue to respond to their presence in other ways. Overall, SDB appears to be a useful, non-invasive, simple means of investigating social arousal and its use has elucidated several key findings regarding the perception of social space and social partners in vervet monkeys.ix, 103 leaves ; 28 cm

Evidence from multiple fields of study has established that the cerebellum is involved in motor, cognitive, and affective processes. Anatomical studies reveal cerebellar connections to motor and non-motor extracerebellar territories; cerebellar injury or degeneration results in a cerebellar motor syndrome but also in a cerebellar cognitive/affective syndrome; neuroimaging studies reveal cerebellar activation in motor and nonmotor processes; and many studies have reported cerebellar abnormalities in numerous neurological and psychiatric diseases that degrade cognition and affect. The compendium of studies that are included in this thesis present the following advances in our understanding of the role of the cerebellum in movement, thought, and emotion: (i) evidence supporting the presence of executive, linguistic, visual spatial, and affective impairments that characterize the Cerebellar Cognitive Affective syndrome, (ii) the description of similarities between linguistic and motor deficits in cerebellar dysfunction, which reinforces the notion of that a uniform computation underlies the cerebellar modulation of movement, thought, and emotion (Universal Cerebellar Transform theory), (iii) a review of the supporting evidence and relevance of the Universal Cerebellar Transform theory, (iv) confirmatory evidence of the presence and arrangement of functionally specialized motor and nonmotor regions of the cerebellum, which reaffirms the anatomical principles that underlie the notion of a Universal Cerebellar Transform, (v) the novel description of triple representation of non-motor task processing in the cerebellum, unmasking new clinical and basic science questions, and (vi) the discovery of a fundamental movement-to-thought principle of cerebellar macro-scale organization, which can serve as a guiding framework for future cerebellar research across neuroscience disciplines.

Full textAbstract:
[Truncated thesis] This thesis is concerned with executive functioning in two different but related ways. The first is as an information processing construct in cognitive psychology. There are many different conceptualisations of the information processing basis of executive functioning but this thesis will pursue the notion that executive functioning is best thought of as adaptation to novelty. In the thesis, this will be operationalised using performance indices (principally reaction time) from a number of information processing tasks. These tasks have typically been used in the literature to index either executive functioning or speed of information processing. Both kinds of tasks are used to tackle the second concern of this thesis, namely, how executive functioning is measured. The data analytic techniques developed in this thesis are based on the hypothesis that executive functioning is the process or processes involved in resolving task novelty and consequently measurement will be enhanced through an analysis of performance changes within tasks as the task changes from novel to familiar. The analysis methods will be based largely on the computation of coefficient of variation of reaction time in successive performance windows across the information processing tasks. An elderly sample was chosen for this thesis because of a history of research that has attempted to determine whether cognitive deficits in the elderly are the consequence of the slowing of information processing speed or to impairment in executive functioning. ... The analysis was driven by the hypothesis that a significant shift in the coefficient of variation would mark a transition from novelty to familiarity in task performance and hence from executive to non-executive phases. Three methods were applied to individual performance curves to determine the point at which for each task this transition occurred. Using criterion measures of variability to separate the task data into two stages, analyses showed, contrary to the hypothesis, that later task performance was more highly associated with executive functioning than in initial task performance. The fourth stage of analysis (Chapter 7) applied confirmatory factor analysis to the newly-formed pre- and post transition data. Evidence was found that the magnitude of the contributions of EF across the pre- and post-criterion phases was stable, failing to support the hypothesis. Finally, structural equation modelling was used to examine how age and intelligence in this elderly sample exerts its influence on task performance and whether EF or IPS was the primary cause of age-related cognitive decline. The results showed that the age and intelligence effects on performance were mediated by the requirement to adapt to novelty. Although there was limited evidence to claim that EF is the primary cause of age-related cognitive decline, ageing effects were only apparent when the participants were adapting to novelty. The thesis concludes that there is some support for the hypothesis that executive functioning is best thought of as the processes underpinning adaptation to novelty. While not a panacea, the analytic techniques developed show promise for future research.

Saylik, Rahmi. "Neuroticism related differences during porcessing of controlled congnitive tasks." Thesis, Brunel University, 2017. http://bura.brunel.ac.uk/handle/2438/14594.
Full textAbstract:
It is suggested that neuroticism impairs cognitive performance mostly in difficult tasks i.e. WM tasks, but not so much in easier tasks. However, behavioural, and functional neuroanatomical correlates of detrimental effect of neuroticism in relation to central executive system (CES) during cognitive tasks particularly in multitasking still unknown. I aim at investigating behavioural and functional neuroanatomical correlates of single- and dual-task performance in high and low neurotics. The general hypothesis is that high neurotics will show a poorer performance on processing of cognitive tasks as compared to low neurotics. From a screened population, I select low neurotics (below 6) and high neurotics (over 16) on 24 item Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ) neuroticism scale. First empirical study was consisted of three standard WM tests. The result of this study showed that high neurotics had lower performance when the task heavily requires CES such as switching and inhibition. Next empirical studies were consisted of dual tasks based on PRP paradigm. In dual task studies, in addition to SOA manipulation SOA (0 and1000ms), task demand manipulated either by presentation of task order or task set maintenance. The results show that high neurotics considerably slower when SOA is short. Further, it has been observed dual task cost differences between high and low neurotics increase as the demand increase either by random tasks or task set maintenance as evident by lower processing efficiency in high neurotics. Also, high neurotics perceived higher stress level as the task demand increase. In the final study, I assessed brain activity by means of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in low and high neurotics while they were performing a demanding dual-task and the less demanding component tasks as single-tasks. Imaging data showed that high neurotics showed less dual-task specific activation in lateral and medial prefrontal cortices. In conclusion, I conclude that high levels of neuroticism impair behavioural performance in demanding tasks with higher perceived stress level, and that this impairment is accompanied by reduced activation of the task-associated brain areas. Key words: Neuroticism, Personality, Multitasking, dual-task performance, prefrontal cortex attentional control theory, working memory.

Includes bibliographical references.Heart rate variability (HRV) biofeedback is effective in reducing stress as well as managing chronic disease. It facilitates easy manipulation of HRV, and, therefore, potentially provides a valuable intervention for altering the activity of the autonomic nervous system. The aim of this thesis was to examine the effects of a single 10 minute episode of HRV biofeedback on measures of HRV and EEG during and immediately after the intervention, measures of HRV and cognitive performance during laboratory induced cognitive stress and subjective feelings of anxiety and relaxation states after testing. Eighteen healthy male volunteers (34 ± 6 years) exposed to work-related stress, were randomised into an HRV biofeedback intervention (BIO) and a comparative intervention group (COM).

Full textAbstract:
This study analyzed outcomes of an enhanced cognitive-behavioral intervention with dually diagnosed severely mentally ill adults. It specifically addressed the improvement of attitudes, skills, self-efficacy to use condoms and the heightening of condom use. The data were analyzed via a randomized three-group repeated measures design composed of the experimental (E-CB), standard care (SC) comparison or a no-treatment control condition as the between-subjects variable and pre-post measure as the within-subjects variable. The ECB focused on cooperative, application, hands-on, skill-building and role-playing activities for sexual assertiveness, negotiation in risk-taking and proper condom use. The SC comparison, was didactic in its approach and addressed risk- taking and proper condom use in one session, but did not involve application approaches to problem-solving risky situations or condom use. Multiple assessments were conducted at pre-, post- and six months post-intervention.
The analysis indicated that the E-CB intervention led to more favorable attitudes toward condoms and to improved and maintained skills regarding their use by participants six months after the intervention compared to the standard care and control groups. No significant improvements in self-efficacy were found. A repeated measures ANOVA conducted on the transformed values of percentage of vaginal condom use indicated no significant differences between the experimental and standard care conditions but both had a significantly higher mean percentage vaginal condom use than the control group, averaged across pre- and six-month post-intervention. No gender differences were seen in attitudes, skills or self-efficacy to use condoms.
This study shed light upon the effectiveness of the instructional approach for the enhancement of attitudes, skills and self-efficacy outcomes related to HIV prevention. For heightened effectiveness, future approaches must address multiple factors impacting learning in this population.

Resumo: Introdução: O número crescente de prematuros que sobrevivem ao período neonatal, fez aumentar a demanda por pesquisas, principalmente quanto ao seu desenvolvimento. A maior parte das pesquisas envolve a população de extremo baixo peso e menores idades gestacionais. No entanto, a maior população de sobreviventes à prematuridade é composta por prematuros tardios, de baixo risco e maior peso. Pesquisas que verifiquem os fatores que possam promover ou dificultar o desenvolvimento destas crianças parecem constituir uma lacuna a ser preenchida. Objetivos: Avaliar o desenvolvimento europsicomotor de prematuros nos dois primeiros anos de idade gestacional corrigida com a finalidade de verificar se a prematuridade por si só, assim como, verificar a importância dos fatores de risco obstétricos, socioeconômicos, ambientais e neonatais para o desenvolvimento neuropsicomotor. Material e Métodos: Trata-se de um estudo observacional, longitudinal e prospectivo, com seleção por conveniência. Os pacientes prematuros egressos de Unidades de Terapia Intensiva de Curitiba e Região Metropolitana foram comparados com grupo de crianças nascidas a termo e avaliadas pelo Teste de Triagem de Denver II com um e dois anos de idade corrigida para os prematuros e idade cronológica para os nascidos a termo. As crianças foram classificadas quanto aos fatores de risco obstétricos, neonatais, socioeconômicos e ambientais. Resultados: Foram estudados 201 pacientes, sendo 106 recém nascidos a termo e 95 prematuros. Dentre os testes alterados, no primeiro ano de vida, 44,7% eram de recém-nascidos a termo e 55,3% de recém-nascidos prematuros, e no segundo 46,9% de recém-nascidos a termo e 53,1% de recémnascidos prematuros. No primeiro ano, os pacientes do sexo masculino e aqueles com famílias mais numerosas (com quatro ou mais integrantes), apresentaram pior desempenho no Teste de Denver II. Quando o pai estava presente compondo a família do lactente houve melhores resultados no teste com significância limítrofe. As crianças cujas mães apresentavam escolaridade de nível superior apresentaram melhores resultados no Teste de Denver II, assim como com aquelas que eram cuidadas pelas mães em comparação às cuidadas por creches. Conclusões: Verificou-se que o desenvolvimento infantil depende de múltiplos fatores para a completa exteriorização do potencial genético. A prematuridade por si só não se mostrou um fator de risco para o desenvolvimento infantil nos dois primeiros anos de vida. Os fatores ambientais foram de maior importância quando o dano biológico não foi significativo no período neonatal e perinatal.

Nous avons analyse une meme cohorte de 84 parkinsoniens, ayant fait l'objet d'un bilan neuropsychologique detaille, de trois manieres differentes. Dans un premier temps, nous avons etudie en details leurs performances neuropsychologiques, en particulier en relation avec leurs troubles moteurs. Cela nous a permis de souligner l'importance des troubles visuo-spatiaux et de la capacite a degager des concepts, ainsi que leurs relations etroites avec la diffusion des lesions, telle qu'elle peut etre evaluee par les stades de hoehn et yahr. Le score axial que nous avons propose nous semble un marqueur particulierement interessant de cette diffusion. Les rapports de ces deux types de troubles cognitifs avec les hallucinations donnent des pistes de comprehension du mecanisme de ces dernieres. Dans un deuxieme temps, nous avons rapporte les travaux de mise au point et de validation, dans cette population, d'un test rapide d'evaluation des fonctions cognitives, specifiquement construit pour la maladie de parkinson : le mini mental parkinson. Il nous parait actuellement satisfaisant, dans sa derniere version, et a d'ores et deja permis d'evaluer la prevalence des troubles cognitifs, dans une deuxieme cohorte de 115 patients ambulatoires, a 60% des consultants (30% de troubles moderes et 30% de troubles severes). Son utilite future, pour mener des etudes epidemiologiques et longitudinales nous parait indiscutable. Dans un troisieme temps, nous avons repris cette population apres plusieurs annees, ce qui nous a permis de mettre en evidence qu'un age de debut de la maladie de parkinson superieur a 60 ans et de mauvaises performances au subtest de completement de la wais, a une epreuve de fluence verbale, et au test de stroop etaient independamment predicteurs de la survenue d'une demence 3,5 ans plus tard.

ApÃs a realizaÃÃo ou nÃo do jogo os pacientes foram classificados entre os grupos perdedor, vencedor e controle respectivamente. O estudo foi realizado no AmbulatÃrio de DistÃrbios do Movimento do HU da Faculdade de Medicina da UFC. Quarenta pacientes consecutivos, sendo 27 homens (67,5%) com idade entre 48 e 84 anos (63,2Â8,5), com Hoehn &Yahr entre I e III foram avaliados. Na amostra estudada, 28 casos (70%) apresentavam sintomas depressivos (IDB>10). O grupo controle consistiu de 13 indivÃduos que permaneceram sentados sem jogar. Quatorze pacientes foram vencedores e 13 foram perdedores. NÃo houve diferenÃa estatisticamente significante entre os grupos quanto à idade, duraÃÃo da doenÃa, Ãndice de massa corpÃrea, dose de levodopa, uso de Ãlcool, fumo, histÃrico familiar de DP, presenÃa de sintomas depressivos e hÃbitos de jogar jogos de azar. Uma paciente em uso de agonista dopaminÃrgico referiu compulsÃo por jogos de azar. Os pacientes vencedores apresentaram melhor desempenho no teste de memÃria de trabalho (p=0,002) e digitaÃÃo rÃpida (p= 0,01). Os perdedores apresentaram uma tendÃncia de melhora da caminhada apÃs o experimento. Em conclusÃo, nosso estudo mostra que a prÃtica de um jogo de dominà se associa a melhora da memÃria de trabalho e da atividade motora (avaliada pelo teste de digitaÃÃo rÃpida) em indivÃduos com DP. Tais achados podem ser explicados pela liberaÃÃo de dopamina que ocorre apÃs o jogo atravÃs do sistema de recompensa.
Parkinsonâs disease (PD) is a chronic illness characterized by the presence of akinesia, rigidity and resting tremor. Clinical fluctuation is a common finding and is probably related to the oscillation of dopaminergic neurotransmission and also to the influence of other neurotransmitters. Obsessive gambling has been described over the years and it has been associated in many cases with the use of dopaminergic agonists. The explanation for these findings might be that dopamine is involved in a reward system at the central nervous system. Games has also been associated with improvement of cognition in the elderly. The aim of this study was to evaluate the acute effect of playing dominoe on working memory, as evaluated by the Stroop test, and motor activity as evaluated by the 14-meter walk and the finger-tap test, on a population with PD. Besides socio-demographic data, patients were evaluated with the Unified Parkinson Disease Rating Scale Part III and with the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Experiment consisted on performing a game of dominoe, between 8 and 9 hours A.M. Patients were tested before and after experiment. Control group remained kept without specific activity for the same amount of time as the others. Patients were classified in winners, non-winners and control respectively, after experiment. The study was performed at the University Hospital of Federal University of CearÃ. All cases were out patients from a movement disorders clinic. Forty consecutive patients, 27 male (67,5%), age from 48 to 84 years (63,2Â8,5), Hoehn &Yahr between I e III were included. Twenty-eight cases (70%) presented depressive symptoms (BDI>10). Control group was made of 13 cases, 14 were winners and 13 were non-winners. Comparison among groups did not show any differences statistics regarding age, disease duration, age at presentation of symptoms, body mass index, alcohol use, smoking habit, family history, depressive symptoms, levodopa dose, and practice of games. One female patient on use of dopaminergic agonist referred compulsion for gambling. In this study, winners presented significantly better results on working memory as evaluated by the Stroop test (p=0,002) and of motor activity as evaluated by the finger-tap test (p= 0,01). Non-winners showed a trend of better performance in the 14-meter walk test. In conclusion, our study shows that in PD, performing a simple dominoe game is associated with improvement of working memory as evaluated by the Stroop Test and of motor activity as evaluated by the finger-tap test. These findings may be explained by a liberation of dopamine that occurs with gaming through the reward system.

Nós avaliamos as características sócio-demográficas da população, o estado da função motora através da Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale parte III, a presença de sintomas depressivos através do Inventário de Depressão de Beck (IDB), a memória de trabalho através do Teste de Stroop parte III e o desempenho motor através do teste de caminhada e de digitação rápida. O experimento consistiu na realização de um jogo de dominó, entre 8 e 9 horas da manhã. Os testes de memória e desempenho motor foram realizados antes e após o jogo. Após a realização ou não do jogo os pacientes foram classificados entre os grupos perdedor, vencedor e controle respectivamente. O estudo foi realizado no Ambulatório de Distúrbios do Movimento do HU da Faculdade de Medicina da UFC. Quarenta pacientes consecutivos, sendo 27 homens (67,5%) com idade entre 48 e 84 anos (63,2±8,5), com Hoehn &Yahr entre I e III foram avaliados. Na amostra estudada, 28 casos (70%) apresentavam sintomas depressivos (IDB>10). O grupo controle consistiu de 13 indivíduos que permaneceram sentados sem jogar. Quatorze pacientes foram vencedores e 13 foram perdedores. Não houve diferença estatisticamente significante entre os grupos quanto à idade, duração da doença, índice de massa corpórea, dose de levodopa, uso de álcool, fumo, histórico familiar de DP, presença de sintomas depressivos e hábitos de jogar jogos de azar. Uma paciente em uso de agonista dopaminérgico referiu compulsão por jogos de azar. Os pacientes vencedores apresentaram melhor desempenho no teste de memória de trabalho (p=0,002) e digitação rápida (p= 0,01). Os perdedores apresentaram uma tendência de melhora da caminhada após o experimento. Em conclusão, nosso estudo mostra que a prática de um jogo de dominó se associa a melhora da memória de trabalho e da atividade motora (avaliada pelo teste de digitação rápida) em indivíduos com DP. Tais achados podem ser explicados pela liberação de dopamina que ocorre após o jogo através do sistema de recompensa.

Seminario para optar al grado de Ingeniero Comercial, Mención AdministraciónMucho se habla hoy en día en Chile de cómo poder evolucionar de un país dependiente del sector de producción primaria, lo esencial que es el cobre para el país es de conocimiento público, a uno donde los sectores de producción primario y secundario tengan tanta o más importancia, actualmente este proceso se encuentra en pleno desarrollo y se puede ver como lo sectores con mayor dinamismo hoy en día son los de Intermediación Financiera, Minería y la Manufactura Minera. Por el contrario, los con retroceso son la pesca y la agricultura.1 Todo esto proyectando a Chile como un país a punto de alcanzar el tan deseado desarrollo. En este camino es donde el emprendimiento y la creación de empresas forma parte vital además de que y es por aquello que los gobiernos de turno desde hace ya algunos años ha hecho innumerables esfuerzos en poder mejorar el clima y condiciones que atraigan a nuevos y potenciales emprendedores al mercado con nuevas ideas y proyectos además de que las políticas orientadas a flexibilizar la entrada de nuevos actores y de la mano al aumento de la competitividad, generan mercados de menor concentración.. En esta línea se trabajó en poder disminuir ostensiblemente los plazos que requería la constitución legal de una empresa pasando de un promedio de 22 a, bajo ciertas condiciones, tan solo un día, de hecho el proyecto se denominó “Constitución de empresas en un día”2, a esto se suman iniciativas como determinar que el año 2012 fuera declarado como el “Año del Emprendimiento” tiempo donde se llevaron a cabo diversas ferias, charlas, actividades y iniciativas enfocadas en dar a conocer y facilitar el emprendimiento en el país. La importancia de las PyMEs (pequeñas y medianas empresas) no radica solo en ello sino que, a pesar de que en términos monetarios no son el mayor actor, generan el 18,8% del valor agregado de ventas versus un 79,2% de las grandes empresas, son un actor bastante importante en la creación de empleos ya que hoy en día son responsables de más del 38,2% del empleo a nivel nacional.

Antecedentes y objetivos: el tempo cognitivo lento (TCL) se ha asociado, desde su definición, al trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad subtipo inatento (TDAH-I). Se han hallado síntomas TCL en el trastorno por déficit de atención con hiperactividad subtipo combinado (TDAH-C), en otros trastornos psiquiátricos y en grupos clínicos sin trastorno mental. Existen correlaciones entre los síntomas de TCL y síntomas de ansiedad, depresión, dificultades de regulación emocional de emociones negativas, mayor sensibilidad al castigo, evitación social, bajo rendimiento académico y con un peor funcionamiento social. La validez estadística de los síntomas TCL ha quedado demostrada diferenciándose del TDAH y presentando unas características propias. Los estudios de población general sugieren que probablemente los síntomas TCL presenten diferentes correlatos socio-demográficos, asociación con determinados déficits de funciones ejecutivas y diferentes ámbitos de discapacidad psicosocial en relación al TDAH. Los objetivos de esta tesis son: realizar una revisión del concepto TCL, determinar su prevalencia, características clínicas y sociodemográficas en la población general y clínica infanto-juvenil, estudiar la relación entre TDAH y TCL y finalmente delimitar el perfil neuropsicológico específico para los síntomas TCL. Métodos: para llevar a cabo los objetivo se han realizado 4 estudios. El primero, se trata de una revisión sistemática de la literatura. Para determinar las prevalencias, características clínicas, y conductuales tanto en población general infanto-juvenil como clínica se realizaron el segundo y tercer estudio, respectivamente. Y, finalmente, el cuarto estudio, en la muestra de población general infantil, se estudió el perfil neuropsicológico asociado a los síntomas TCL. Resultados: se han hallado síntomas TCL tanto en población general como clínica, duplicándose en esta última. Se asocian a genero masculino, a población clínica y a mayor edad. La exposición al tabaco (peri-natal y a terceros) son factores asociados a los síntomas TCL así como una elevada vulnerabilidad socioeconómica. El perfil clínico viene caracterizado por sintomatología internalizante, problemas con iguales, problemas emocionales, síntomas de inatención con mayor afectación en la población clínica. En el ámbito escolar presentan más problemas académicos y mayor número de síntomas de dislexia. Parece ser que esto se traduce en la población clínica en más síntomas de TCL en los trastornos del aprendizaje que en el TDAH. Siendo un factor de riesgo los síntomas TCL a padecer un trastorno del aprendizaje. Los niños de la población general con síntomas TCL presentan más diagnósticos de TDAH y en la población clínica de TDAH-I. Sin embargo, los síntomas TCL están presentes en otros trastornos psiquiátricos a parte del TDAH. Finalmente, los niños con síntomas TCL presentan un perfil neuropsicológico específico que puede diferenciarse del TDAH. Presentan mayores tiempos de reacción, peor memoria de trabajo y mayor afectación de la red de conflicto. Cuando estudiamos los mismos niños excluyendo los que tienen diagnóstico de TDAH el perfil emergente se caracteriza por: mayores tiempos de reacción y peor memoria de trabajo. Conclusiones: Los síntomas TCL se asocian a unas características sociodemográficas, clínicas y neuropsicológicas específicas. EL perfil neuropsicológico asociado a los síntomas TCL es distinto al del TDAH. Se recomienda su valoración tanto en ámbito escolar y clínico para poder realizar evaluaciones y tratamientos más precisos para estos niños.Background and objectives: Sluggish cognitive tempo (SCT) has been associated, ever since it was first defined, with attention deficit hyperactive disorder, inattentive subtype (ADHD-I). SCT symptoms have been observed in ADHD, combined subtype (ADHD-C), in other psychiatric disorders and in clinical groups with no mental disorder. There are correlations between the symptoms of SCT and symptoms of anxiety disorders, depression, problems controlling negative emotions, heightened sensitivity to punishment, social disengagement, low academic achievement and with impaired social functioning. The statistical validity of SCT symptoms has been demonstrated through their differentiation from ADHD and the presenting of specific characteristics. Studies carried out among the general population (both in adults and in children) suggest that SCT symptoms present different socio-demographic correlates, association with specific executive function deficits and different areas of psychosocial disability related to ADHD. The objectives of this doctoral thesis are: to review the concept of SCT; to determine the prevalence of SCT, its clinical and sociodemographic characteristics in the general population and in the infant-adolescent clinical population; to study the relation between ADHD and SCT; and finally, to delimit the specific neuropsychological profile of SCT symptoms. Methods: In order to achieve those objectives, I have carried out four studies as part of an active research group. The first was a systematic review of the literature. The next two studies aimed to determine the prevalence, and the clinical and behavioural characteristics of SCT in both the general (second study) and clinical (third study) infant-adolescent populations. Finally, in the fourth study, I studied the neuropsychological profile associated with SCT symptoms in the general infant population sample. Results: I found SCT symptoms in both the general and the clinical populations, with the prevalence in the latter being twice that in the former. They are associated with being male, with forming part of the clinical population and with increasing age. Exposure to tobacco smoke (both perinatally and passively) is associated with SCT symptoms as is increased socioeconomic vulnerability. The clinical profile is characterised by an internalising symptomology, problems in peer relations, emotional problems and symptoms of inattention, all more frequently in the clinical population. Within a school setting, children exhibiting SCT symptoms present more academic problems and a greater frequency of dyslexia symptoms. It appears that in the clinical population this translates into more SCT symptoms in learning disorders than in ADHD: SCT symptoms can be seen as a risk factor for suffering from a learning disorder. Children in the general population with SCT symptoms present more ADHD diagnoses and in the clinical population more for ADHD-I. However, SCT symptoms are present in psychiatric disorders other than ADHD. Finally, children with SCT symptoms present a specific neuropsychological profile which can be differentiated from that of ADHD. They have increased reaction times, worse working memory and more problems with their conflict resolution networks. When I studied the same sample of children but excluding those with an ADHD diagnosis, the profile that emerged was characterised by increased reaction times and worse working memory. Conclusions: SCT symptoms are associated with specific sociodemographic, clinical and neuropsychological characteristics. The neuropsychological profile associated with SCT symptoms is different from that of ADHD; and it should be assessed both in school and clinical settings to facilitate more precise evaluation and treatment.

With the establishment of professional sports leagues, baseball teams gradually put much emphasis on image packing and visual design. How do baseball teams use marks to reinforce their images? And how do they choose appropriate mark design as a means of communication? Therefore, through the survey of the “point of consistency” and the difference between baseball teams (designers) and fans, the study attempts to collect the design trends and styles of baseball team marks and to understand the characteristics of mark design that domestic and foreign professional baseball teams use. Through the quantitative method, the study discusses the design attributes of team marks, and concludes the preference attitudes between baseball teams and fans. The study mainly discusses the mark design of professional baseball teams. The study methods are document analysis, observation, interview and questionnaire survey”. The study is divided into two stages. The first stage is the collection of global professional baseball marks and the qualitative analysis of these marks according to their “mascots”, “regions”, and “ages”. The second stage is aimed at the objectification of the questionnaire. Through the methods of observation and interview, the researcher can understand fans’ attitudes toward the marks of baseball teams. From the views of fans, the items of questionnaire are finished. Besides, the researcher hopes to understand how fans feel about the marks and why they choose their answers. Finally, integrating the results of stage one and stage two, the researcher can understand if the actual situation (stage one) and the appropriateness (stage two) of these marks that baseball teams use are matched. According to the result of stage two, the researcher uses the questionnaire conducted through the quantitative method to understand fans’ attitudes toward professional baseball marks. At last, integrating the results of each stage, the researcher can understand the cognitive difference between baseball teams, designers, and fans and the reasons of these results. The study result shows that the marks used by professional baseball teams are mainly “complex styles”. Through the design and use of complex marks, the communication between baseball teams and fans will be better. The researcher concludes that most of the baseball teams prefer complex (image- text) marks, and “animals” are especially used as the styles and characteristics of baseball teams. Through the factor analysis, fans have an impact on team marks (styles, expression) and professional baseball (concern, emphasis), including “modernization”, “friendliness”, “conspicuousness”, and ”actuality”. Moreover, the study analyzes theoretically the mascots of team marks, and finds that the mark design of visual symbols of animals is the fastest way to understand the styles of baseball teams. Henceforward, if the relationship between animals and sports can be discusses deeply, it will be helpful for designers to design other sports marks. In addition, if the marks or mascots are popular with fans, they can also become all kinds of related products and bring greater business interest for baseball teams.

China government had been changed their official policy in year 2008, from "world factory “ transited into “world consumer market", and begin a series of policy reforms, such as established a high standard of labor contract law, to implement two taxes into one, cancel the policy of “from the profit year the preferential policies of two exemptions and three diminutions on enterprise income tax”. There is no more preferential tax rate, and the cost of wages, energy keep increasing, RMB revaluation , all of the reason make Taiwan base factory is no longer has any production advantage in China. This company not only faces the increase of labor costs , at the same time, also sense the market trend become products needs to be many kinds of choice but with very little small quantity demand. US customers transfer orders to other OEM factories. In such difficult situation, it is very necessary and urgent that organization needs to have some policy reforms. This study aims a company with Toyota production system background, to discuss the process and performance after running Toyota production system, as well as the implementation of the Toyota Production System to employees. With regards to the method in which we conduct our research for this study, we have questionnaire to employees who work in a PP manufacturer factory, this study conducted hierarchical regression and logistic regression analyses to verify the connection between the benefit acknowledge of running Toyota Production System and organization commitment, as well as the result if employees have different acceptance level of running Toyota Production System. The results of this study found that it can build a positive organization commitment if staffs can understand more about the Toyota Production System, which means, if employees agree and accept it is helpful for organization to running the Toyota Production System, there will be higher organization commitment. Secondary, base on the accept level of TPS, there will be a moderating effect by benefit acknowledge of running Toyota Production System and organization commitment. When employees has positive attitude for reforms, it can encourage employees to participate the reforms process, has positive impact on employees the organizational commitment appropriate. Based on the above findings, this study suggests that the process of change, people is the most difficult part to control, and the success of organizational change usually requires employee’ accept and support. During the process of implementing policy reforms, reformer should provide the obvious improved result on time, which can prove the reforms make the organization become better and better. In the beginning and late period of reforms, it should continue to strengthen the organization members’ attitudes to face the changes, so that employees can maintain a positive attitude in a frequency changing environment, and create a positive work attitude.

Human is a kind of animal which live in groups. Therefore, “communication” is a critical issue in our daily life and in jobs. Due to the rapid change of technology and industries, in addition to a good communication ability and professional knowledge, “problem solving” is another key ability. For designers, “team communication” and “problem solving” are relatively important since “team work” is a common pattern for design projects and basically, “design” itself is a way to solve problems. Moreover, everyone is an individual with unique thoughts, concepts, attitudes and social skills. “Cognition style” is the factor which affects the individual internal thinking. Therefore, this study mainly discusses “how the designer’s cognition style affects team communication and problem solving”. The study is focus on 3 parts: “communication modality”, “problem solving methods” and “self evaluation of team communication and problem solving”. Results obtained from this study will be applied on the interaction and management of design team and will be helpful for the selection of design team members, cooperation and interaction among designers and the planning and execution of required design projects. “Communication modality” discussed in this study include 3 aspects: “frequency”, “direction” and “content”; “problem solving” includes 2 aspects: “attitude” and “process” and “Self evaluation” includes 3 aspects: “communication satisfaction”, “communication quality” and “problem solving satisfaction”. CSI (Cognition Style Index) is used to divide designer’s cognition style into “intuitive” and “analytic” styles and designers is organized in team, work and communicate together to solve problems. The study shows that designer’s cognition style will affect “team communication” and “problem solving”. Meanwhile, “analytic” designers and “intuitive” designers have different characteristics on “team communication” and “problem solving”. “Analytic” designer has better performance in design project which is functional orientated, requires precise and exact and with clear specifications. In contrary, “intuitive” designer is good at design project which has a lot of freedom, without defined specifications and is funny orientated. Therefore, manager of design department who want to organize a design team shall depend on the features and the purposes of the design project to pick designers.

At the knowledge economic ages, companies must do the knowledge management well,and absorb new information continuously . Integrating the inside and outside knowledge well-arranged,thought innovation and applicate to promote core ability ,and sustain the competition superiority. However, promoting knowledge management is a king of organize revolution.If staff don’t comprehend the value of knowledge management adequately, they will result the resist mentality. Therefore, the first step is research the knowledge management cognizance of staff how to infiuence promoting knowledge management. This research refer the knowledge management model for Arthur Andersen and Buren.Separating the knowledge management cognizance of staff into two dimensions : 「the cognizance to staff self knowledge management enablers 」and 「the cognizance to staff organized knowledge management processes」 This research used questionnaires , and find the high inside cognizance for study company factors are 「knowledge share」in knowledge management processes and 「strategy and leadership 」、「technology 」in knowledge management enablers.This imply when company promote the knowledge management can from this three factors. However , the cognizance degree for 「reward measure 」is very low in knowledge management enablers . Base on knowledge management success needs a lot of reward measure. About this point , the case company maybe can refer to that .Besides, according to the two dimensions , every dimension displayed the straight related and outstanding standard. This indicate when the case company process the cognizance promoted, the degree to other dimensions will be promoted, too. For the reason, this research recommend if the case company promote the knowledge management must do this : 1. Setring up the manage department to assist the staff learn knowledge management ； have the sufficient budget and resources ； leader must encourage staff to share the knowledge. 2.Establishing the advanced information facilities and flat form storing the resent knowledge system for staff use it convenient；the staff can sent the information fluent use the equipment. 3.Estiblishing the fair、just、public reward measured system combingthe presently performance measure system with knowledge management reward measured system ； Encouraging the taff who intention to contribution and create the knowledge. 4.The new staff and the engineering staff,should instill into the knowledge management concept,let the staff realize how important of the knowledge management.

Because the coming of aging societies and new era of technology are a global trend, mHealth is important for Telemedicine now. Consumers are no longer accept the health information passively, more and more people began to use mobile devices as healthy tools, and tends to monitor their health. However, it also have risks and still only at the exploratory stage, so base on the Situational Theory of Publics, this is a study to analyze the main types of public distribution on Mobile Health Device, and to explore whether public has optimistic bias and the doubt of biomedical privacy or not, analysis the relationship between the information search and using intention further. This is an online-survey study, and collects 348 valid samples from Facebook and PTT users. On Mobile Health Device, the study found that the mainly public type is the highest involvement public who has constrained behavior. Moreover, public’s cognition and involvement also influences their passive search information and using intention with positive correlation. But the prediction of public’s optimism bias and the doubt of biomedical privacy is odds with the hypothesis, this two variables are influences public’s information search and using intention with positive correlation. Finally, the study suggests the researcher can add a personal self-efficacy and the brand preference of Mobile Health Device into the future reserch, and analysis consumer comprehensively.

Wetlands are closely related to our life. Whether artificial or natural wetlands, the first and immediate steps we should take are conservation and restoration. What matters to the success of environmental protection not only depends on environmental technology development and administration, but also needs to cultivate in environmental education. Jiouchiu elementary school is near to the southern premier wetland of Taiwan- the Kaoping wetland, which is the important beacon to natural and ecological conservation education of wetlands. The purpose of this survey mainly discusses the environmental cognition, wetlands conservation attitudes and wetlands conservation actions of elementary school students in Kaoping area and the relationship among them. There are 589 survey samples of students in the third to sixth grade at Jiouchiu elementary school provided. The surveyor did an investigation through “questionnaires of cognitiveness, attitudes and actions of wetlands biological environmental conservation. The resources of wetlands ecological conservation knowledge mainly come from teachers’ introductions in class, parents, school outdoor teachings field trip. The resource of “mass communication mediummass media, magazines or literal information” has the lowest ratio. Therefore ,our government education department should create supplementary measures of wetland field trip. Moreover, local literature and history department should focus on publication of wetland. These 2 supplementary measures will improve students’knowledge in wetland protection.。 On the aspect of environmental cognition of third to sixth grade students, there are significant differences among the variations of different grades and social-economic status. The students of high social-economic status have better ecological and environmental cognition of wetlands than those of the students of mid social-economic status, which indicates that the students with better environmental cognition come from high educational or work levels of high standard families. Local government needs to hold parent education lectures and parent-child activities of environmental protection in order to develop students’ sense of environmental protection. Students show positive attitudes towards wetland ecological protection. In other words, female students have more active attitudes towards wetland ecological protection than male students and well-fixed family students have better attitudes towards wetland ecological protection than students of rich family. Furthermore, parents’education to children is the key matter to influence them. On the aspect of environmental cognition, there are significant differences among the variables of different grades, which indicates that the students from families in more stable economic situations would like to participate in more practical actions and more advanced trainings on environmental education; there is no significant difference between the variables of inhabitation time and social-economic status. There is a significant positive relation between the environmental cognition of third to sixth grade students at an elementary school and the ecological conservation attitudes of wetlands； there is a significant positive relation between the ecological conservation attitudes of wetlands, the ecological conservation actions of wetlands and ecological conservation actions of wetlands. Consequently, it indicates family 、school and society offer better ecological conservation concepts and activities to students.

Abstract The Ministry of Transportation and Communication established “China Post Co., Ltd.” in 2003 and renamed it as “Taiwan Post Co., Ltd.” on February, 9th, 2007, according to the Government’s policy. This was a big change in our post system. Whether the post business will be turned into privatization in the future will be evaluated by the scholars, experts, labor leaders, and other team members of the “Committee of the Supervision and Consultation of the Executive Yuan Privatized Public Enterprise” and the staff of the “Committee of Advocacy of the Executive Yuan Privatized Public Enterprise”. In terms of the change of the post system, the power on leading the change has never been shared with the post staff. In other words, the thoughts and feelings of the post staff on the issue of privatization were not revealed and needed to be unveiled. Therefore, since the change cannot be controlled by the post staff, what was the impact on the job and career if the thoughts of the post staff were depressed? If that was negative, what were the ways to avoid or lower the complications made by the organization change were the motivation and purpose of this study. The subject of this study was the current Taitung post office staff of Taiwan Post Co., Ltd. The structure and hypotheses of this study were proposed through literature review. The instruments included the questionnaires of “The Scale of Recognition” and “The Scale of Organization Commitment”. This study aimed at exploring the strengths and weaknesses on the post staff toward the questionnaires of “The Scale of Organization Change” and “The Scale of Organization Commitment”. The methods of t-Test, One-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation, and multiple stepwise regressions were used in this study. The major findings of this study were as follows: 1.In terms of organization change: the highest mean score was the “recognition of the current change. 2.In terms of organization commitment: the highest mean score was the “commitment of profession and hospitality”. 3.In terms of personal character, post staff with different seniority presented a significant different on the organization change recognition. Post staff with different ages, positions, total seniority, and working years in Taitung post office also had a significant difference on the organization commitment. 4.The factors on the organization change and organization commitment had positive correlation. 5.The factors of “the recognition of the future change” and “the doubt of the organization change” did not show a significance on the prediction of the “commitment of profession and hospitality”, other organization change maintained the prediction toward organization commitment, and the highest prediction was the factor of “the recognition of the future change”. From the study results, the factors of “the recognition of the future change” and “the doubt of the organization change” lacked of the conception of promoting the “commitment of sustainable services” though the factors on the organization change and organization commitment had positive correlation. The study showed that the staff would not be loyal to the post even if they had full recognition of the change. Thus, the study suggested that the government should welcome the staff leaders to join the leadership of change while planning and promoting the change in order to create a win-win policy both the labor relations. Key words: organization change, congnition of organization change, organization commitment, post, post office, privatization

The purpose of this study is to investigate the influences of the junior high school student’s congnition of the twelve-year compulsory education policy, leisure participation and leisure constraints on leisure satisfaction. The first research direction is to analyze the differences of perception to the congnition of the twelve-year compulsory education policy, leisure participation, leisure constraints and leisure satisfaction from the different backgrounds of student. Second one is to understand the prediction of the student’s congnition of the twelve-year compulsory education policy, leisure participation, leisure constraints to leisure satisfaction. In order to achieve research purposes this study applied the survey method in person to examine the students’ congnition of the twelve-year compulsory education policy, leisure participation, leisure constraints and leisure satisfaction. The students of junior high schools of Taoyuan County were stratified into three categories and were selected, by using cluster sampling method, to complete the questionnaire. The investigation was conducted and totally 720 valid samples were obtained from the 8th and 9th grades of 24 public junior high schools in Taoyuan County. The collected data was analyzed by different methods including descriptive statistics, t-test, one-way ANOVA, cluster analysis, regression analysis. The findings are as follow: 1. Study shows no significant difference of the congnition on the twelve-year compulsory education policy of junior high school students with variables of different grades, sexual and living area. However, students with high status of socioeconomic have higher congnition on policy than students with low one. 2. Study shows no significant difference of leisure participation in junior high students with variables of different grades. However, there are significant differences in variables of different sexual, living area, social status and groups of congnition on education policy. 3. Study shows no significant difference of leisure constraints in junior high students with variables of different sexual and social status. But there are significant differences with variables of different grades, living area and groups of congnition on education policy. 4. Study shows no significant difference of leisure satsifaction in junior high students with variables of different grades and living area. But there are significant differences of leisure constraints with variables of different sexual, social status and three groups of congnition on education policy. 5. Study shows the variables of congnition on education policy, leisure participation, leisure constraints have predictive significantly power to leisure satisfaction. The findings of research suggest that government should promote the twelve-year compulsory education policy and implement relevant conductions in cooperated with the educational sector which can provide diverse and abundant extracurricular activities in order to vitalize the teaching efficacies, increase student’s learning attitude and participating leisure activity. Finally expansion of study area, comprehensive samples, and more variables can be recommended to further research. keyword: cognition on twelve-year compulsory education, leisure participation, leisure constraints, leisure satisfaction

The bulk shipping market is influenced by global economy; thus, it is of high risk and volatility. To avoid freight fluctuations caused by the economic change, shipping corporations choose to operate in time charter forms for the benefits of steady hire incomes. As the economy became more and more globalized, shipowners and time-charterers will focus more on the stability of contracts during negotiation stage. According to the results of literature reviews and in-depth interviews, this research concludes the main terms of timecharter negotiation. In order to select the key main term, this research applied the method of Modified Delphi to rank these factors, and then, clarify the casual relationship among each factor by utilizing the decision making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL). Finally, by using analytic hierarchy process (AHP) to choose the most suitable chartering portfolio of T/C. The results are showed as follows: 1. To analyse the importance of the main term under T/C negotiation stage by using Modified Delphi, concerning the overall evaluation criteria, “Daily hire” is valued the most, followed by “Charterer”, “Speed and consumption”, “Charter period” and “Shipowner”. 2. To analyse the relevance of the main terms under T/C negotiation stage by using DEMATEL , concerning the overall criteria, “Charterer” exerts the greatest effect on the overall influential degree, followed by “Shipowner”, “Daily hire”, “Charter period”, “Speed and consumption”, “Vessel’s particulars” and “Shipbroker”. More specifically, the main influential factor is “Vessel’s particulars”, and followed by “Speed and consumption” and “Charter period”. On the other hand, “Daily hire” ranks first as the most influenced factor, and the others are “Shipbroker”, “Charterer” and “Shipowner” in order. 3. Using AHP to find the suitable chartering portfolios for time chartering operation. Generally speaking, long term timecharters are superior to short term chartering portfolios. “Larger ship size”, “Short chartering period” and “Broker” groups have the same outcome with the overall analysis. The results from this investigation will be useful for bulk shipping corporations in T/C contracts negotiation stage and chartering portfolio references.

Squares in a city not only carry the functions of molding the urban image, creating the urban landscape but the usability. This study stands on the perspective of citizen users to discuss the usage behaviors on a square and the results might provide new viewpoints for planning, designing, maintaining the squares. This study focused on the exploration of the relationship between cognition of square allocation and cognition of thematic content on the square. Two methods, including observation method and structured questionnaire survey method, were used to facilitate collecting data. There were 200 questionnaires sent to the users on the square of Taiwan Museum and 189 valid ones were returned. This study found that a square not only satisfied different backgrounds of users, but also met the environment of the museum with spatial allocation and thematic content.

Dissertação de Mestrado Integrado em Engenharia Electrotécnica e de Computadores apresentada à Faculdade de Ciências e TecnologiaEsta dissertação tem como principal objetivo a melhoria de um sistema de reconhecimento automático de fonemas, atualmente em uso no laboratório de processamento de sinal do Instituto de Telecomunicações da Universidade de Coimbra, no âmbito do projeto LetsRead. Este projeto fornece uma base de dados de ficheiros de fala de crianças, obtida através de um processo, em que crianças de várias escolas do país, realizaram a leitura de diversas frases.Esta área de fala de crianças atualmente em estudo, tem como objetivo o cálculo do índice de capacidade de leitura de uma criança através da análise da fala.Começa-se com a implementação de redes neuronais pouco profundas, com apenas uma camada escondida, de forma a testar vários tipos de parâmetros.Posteriormente, são implementadas redes profundas (DNN – Deep Neural Networks) de forma a tentar melhorar o desempenho de todo o sistema. Foi utilizado um modelo de pré-treino através de máquinas restritas de Boltzmann (RBM – Restricted Boltzmann machines), para um treino da rede mais eficiente.Por fim, implementa-se redes convolucionais (CNN – Convolutional Neural Networks) em que as entradas são sonogramas.Todo este projeto foi desenvolvido com o uso da ferramenta Microsoft Congnitive Toolkit, onde é permitido a utilização de GPU para o treino das redes. O Matlab também foi muito utilizado, para confirmar e validar métodos e alguns valores obtidos.Neste trabalho existiram algumas dificuldades como o facto de a base de dados não ser tão extensa como se gostaria e de esta estar desequilibrada a nível de fonemas.Os resultados obtidos não foram superiores aos valores tidos como referência. Conseguiu-se concluir que as redes convolucionais apresentam melhores resultados que as rede profundas.Em todo este processo, houve um envolvimento do “Cuda Research Center” que permitiu o uso de um sistema de GPU para o treino das redes.
The main objective of this dissertation is to improve a phoneme recognition system through automatic processes, currently in existence in the signal processing laboratory of the Telecommunication Institute of the University of Coimbra, under the context of the LetsRead project. This project provides a database of children’s speech files, obtained through a process in which children from distinct schools in the country read several sentences.This area of children’s speech currently under study, aims to calculate the index of reading ability of a child through automatic speech analysis.It starts with the implementation of neural networks with only one hidden layer, in order to prune distinct types of parameters.Subsequently, Deep Neural Networks (DNN) are implemented in order to try to improve the performance of the entire system. A pretrained model was used by Boltzmann Restricred Machines (RBM) for a more efficient network training.Finally, convolutional neural networks (CNN) are implemented through images of sonograms, provided to the network in question. This method was applied after the previous method failed to reach the goals.The entire project was developed using the Microsoft Congnitive Toolkit tool, which allows the use of GPUs for network training. Matlab is also widely used in helping to understand and confirm some values obtained.In this work some difficulties emerged, such as the fact that the database is not as extensive as you would like and it is unbalanced at the phoneme level.The results obtained were not higher than the reference values. It was possible to conclude that the convolutional networks present better results than deep neural networks.Throughout this process, there was na involvement of the “Cuda Research Center” that allowed the use of a GPU system for neural network training.

The Study Of Congnitions And Alternative Conceptions On Insects For Elementary School Teachers In Taipei County Abstract The primary goal of this research is to investigate the relevant conceptions on insects for elementary school teachers in Taipei county. The purpose is in addition to understand the congnitions and alternative conceptions on insects for elementary school teachers and to study the factors which influence and cause the different notions on insects. The research targets are 338 teachers which are composed of 184 non-science teachers and 154 science teachers. They are requested to do the self-edited survey titled "The survey of the conceptions on insects for elementary school teachers in Taipei county". This research uses stratified random sampling. According to Taipei County Education Ministry, it is divided into 9 big educational divisions and 3 scales, which are "25 classes and below", "26 to 64 classes" and "65 classes and above". We choose 338 currently working teachers as the research targets out of 53 elementary schools in Taipei county. Research data has been analyzed by the statistic methods of T-test, One-Way ANOVA, and Scheffe method and etc. The following are the concrete outcomes: 1.The cognitions on insects for elementary school teachers in Taipei county: The teachers nearly realize the relations between human and insects. They also comprehend insect's resources, preservations and nuritions. However unfortunately,for some teachers especially for non-science teachers who haver alternative conceptions do not know much about insect's characteristics, structures and living histories. They also do not understand the ecology and innate behaviors about the insects. 2.Elementary shcool teachers in Taipei county have higher proportions for the alternative conceptions on insects: They are lack of correct notions of growing IV 台北縣國民小學教師昆蟲概念及其另有概念之研究 positions of insects' six-feet. They are also confused with the functions of insect's organs,and not clear about the Without Metamorphosis and Incomplete Metamorphosis for insect's living histories. 3.The scores for each survey have distinct differences among ages, instruction years, the teaching years of science subject,and the first impressions on insects. We have posed some suggestions base on the research results:(1)The photos with captions on the living history of Incompletely Metamorphosis should be added to domestic textbooks and that would make the class of insect's living history more fully equipped.(2)The insect-related classes should be expanded in the organizations of teacher breeding and be provide to teachers-to-be to take as an elective course before starting their job. In additon, it also boosts teacher's knowledge on insects.(3)Elementary school teachers should always have self-awareness on lacking of some particular parts of professional knowledge on school subjects and try to improve and self-further educate themselves. It is important that teachers to build the correct concepts on insects and try to avoid delivering the wrong ones to students.

Full textAbstract:
Simultaneous interpreting is inherently difficult (Gile 2009): listening to the source language and producing a target language message at the same time is a strenuous cognitive process. The cognitive load experienced by simultaneous interpreters in media settings is therefore arguably much higher than that of interpreters in conference settings (Kurz 2003). Interpreters assigned to live newscasts are exposed to a number of internal and external strains such as text complexity, rapidly changing sequences of topics and world events, and have limited time to adapt to individual speakers’ styles and a variety of accents (Kurz 2003). As the source text is read from an autocue, it is delivered at a fast, unnatural pace, which means that the simultaneous signed language television interpreter is not only faced with the threat of possible technical faults that might occur, but also the psycho-emotional strain of interpreting in front of thousands of viewers without any immediate audience response and cues. When demand outweighs the cognitive control capacity interpreters have, they may reach saturation levels (Gile 2009), and cognitive overload may occur. Cognitive overload is a major source of occupational stress (Dean and Pollard 2001) and may often cause the target audience to experience a transliterated, one-dimensional and/or superficial source text level interpretation that does not meet their expectations (Riccardi 2005). How can expert simultaneous interpreters better manage their cognitive resources while exposed to internal and external interferences? This study reports on the specific strategies used by professional South African Sign Language interpreters on national television to mitigate their cognitive load, deliver a target discourse that meets expectancy norms and thereby enhance the quality of language transfer on national television. A grounded theory approach allows for the documenting of initial norms, production and expectancy norms, as data is analysed against theoretical knowledge of simultaneous interpreting from a cognitive perspective. The study emphasises the need for South African Sign Language television interpreters to receive formal training in preparation strategies. Testing the success of a preparation model/tool and training curriculum falls outside the scope of this study, but the study opens the door to further investigation and review.MC2019

Language is a tool for human to communicate and express ideas with each other. All the languages around the world have their own rules to determine the meanings of words, especially the Noun. Japanese and Chinese do not share the same language system; however, according to the history, Chinese characters as well as vocabulary and phrases from China are being adopted and combined with Japanese. Among these words, some of them use body parts to form a vocabulary, such as 「長崎鼻」、“機鼻”、「パンの耳」、“木耳”. Words which are formed through direct physical experience have extended their definitions and are used in extensive contexts. In the past, most of the researches that focus on body vocabulary analyzed the views of word forms and meanings. Yet, there are not many studies on how and why do the words have their extended meanings and the relation between the word itself and definitions. Hence, this research would not only focus on making a comparison between the Nouns of Chinese and Japanese, but take body vocabulary 鼻 (Nose) and 耳 (Ear) as the primary research objects. The thesis has collected related knowledge and uses of鼻 (Nose) and 耳 (Ear) from Chinese dictionary, Japanese dictionary, Corpus data base and Internet news data base as the source of the analysis. Secondly, through the theories of Cognitive which including metaphor, metonymy, synecdoche, the thesis analyzed the progress and development of the body words’ extension meanings in detail. It not only provides examples of the body words’ extension meanings, but also discusses their similarities and differences. The result of the study points out the actual contexts when the words are used and the development of the body word extension. In addition, the thesis also presents that these words have the specific extended meanings regarding to their different culture. By plotting out the charts of words’ extension meaning, people can understand the definition and extended meaning of the body words, 鼻 (Nose) and 耳 (Ear). It is my belief that this research would benefit the language learners from Japan and China by understanding the extensive meanings and uses of the words. In addition, I also believe that the results of the discussion is facilitative to the word extension meanings of鼻 (Nose) and 耳 (Ear).

Abstract The purpose of this study aimed to explore the aspects of online cognitive-behavioral group counseling, and the effect of applying cognitive-behavioral group counseling on clients with anxious mood in a password-protected internet chat room. This study took qualitative research-content analysis –as the main researching framework. Both relative qualitative and quantitative data were collected and used for analysis. The main findings were as follows： 1. The aspects of online cognitive-behavioral group counseling： (1) Online chat room was a convenient and efficient medium for conducting an online group counseling. (2) Cognitive behavioral therapy was suited to online group counseling because of its structured and systematic format. (3) The group counselor needed to adjust the program to the slow pace of online group counseling. (4) Strong counseling relationship was important during the online cognitive-behavioral group counseling. 2. The effect of applying cognitive-behavioral group counseling on clients with anxious mood in a closed online chat room： (1) Both the qualitative and quantitative data indicated that the members has changed in thought, mood and behavior, which shows that the online cognitive-behavioral group counseling had meaningful effects on alleviating members’ anxiety. (2) The group provided several group therapeutic factors, with an emphasis on universality, group cohesion, altruism and imparting of information.

The research separately discusses whether the positive and negative emotions of the high- strength, middle- strength and low-strength emotion groups influence the belief in rumors on the net, and further to make a comparison among them based on the results. The objects of this research consist 430 net rumors readers from the Gossiping network, the “PTT” bbs website of NTU. The research tools include the survey of emotional status, personal background and the degree of belief in net rumors, It adopts the analysis of faithfulness, the statistical of descriptions, the variance analysis of single factor and the Canonical Correlations etc. The result shows that the subjects of low-strength positive emotion group have stronger degree of belief in net rumors than those who with negative emotion of the low-strength emotion group, which is consistent with the past literature. Furthermore, this theory of the result is not suitable for the subjects of high- strength and middle- strength emotion groups, consequently, the research provides a discussion with different perspectives.

Full textAbstract:
Aging is associated with a loss of cognitive function related to learning, memory, and executive function with varying severity. Although there is no age-related loss of neurons in healthy aging, myelin damage accumulates and is associated with cognitive decline. The brain’s resident macrophages, microglia, are responsible for clearing damaged myelin and promoting subsequent oligodendrocyte-mediated remyelination. To test the hypothesis that age-related dysfunction of microglial phagocytosis and oligodendrocyte remyelination capacity contributes to myelin pathology and cognitive impairment. To test this, rhesus monkeys from across the lifespan (7-30 years of age) were tested in three specific aims. 1) To characterize gene expression of myelin basic protein (MBP) in the brain and clearance of MBP to the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in relation to age-related myelin pathology. The density of myelinated axons visualized using label-free spectral confocal reflectance imaging did not correlate with age, but was significantly lower in aged animals with cognitive impairment. Next, MBP gene expression was measured using qPCR in the dorsal prefrontal cortex along with quantification of MBP protein levels in the CSF using ELISA. Age-dependent increases of MBP gene expression in the brain and MBP protein levels in the CSF were observed. Interestingly, MBP levels in the CSF were lower in animals with cognitive impairment. 2) To test the hypothesis that microglia would become increasingly primed for phagocytosis with age-related myelin pathology. The number of microglia immunostained with galectin-3, a marker for phagocytic activation, was quantified in the frontal white matter and increases in both aging and cognitive decline were detected. 3) To evaluate the hypothesis that lipofuscin, an age-related accumulation indicative of autophagic dysfunction, would accumulate and impair glial cells of the white matter in aged animals. Lipofuscin accumulation was increased with age in the frontal white matter and the size of lipofuscin clusters was associated with cognitive impairment. Lipofuscin was found primarily in microglia and oligodendrocytes, but not in astrocytes. These data suggest that lipofuscin burden in microglia and oligodendrocytes inhibits their homeostatic functions resulting in improper myelin clearance and turnover, leading to a devastating feed-forward cycle of myelin damage that contributes to age-related cognitive impairment.

This research aimed to investigate the current status of the junior high students' cognition and attitude about energy in Tainan city. And this research also aimed to analyze the conversion of students through the teaching process. This research consturcted a questionaire to collect the data including “fossil fuel power,” “green energy” and “clean coal power generation.” And this research explored the situation of a junior high school student in Tainan City by this questionnaire. The data were calculated by software Micorsoft Excel 2013, and analyzed by descriptive statistics, t-test, Pearson product-moment correlation. The main conclusions were summarized as follows: In whole questionnaire, junior high school students average got 59.04 points in cognitions part and 3.82 points in attitude part. It means that junior high school students generally lacked energy knowledge but had positive attiaude in energy issues. After the teaching, “clean coal power generation” had a significant and positive correlation. It show that “clean coal power generation” is a teachable material for junior high students.
