Wen-Jung?ChangEmail author  Shu-Hsien?Liao  Yu-Je?Lee  Wen-Pin?Lo 《知识管理研究与实践》2015,13(3):299-310

The semiconductor industry has made great contributions to Taiwan’s economy in the past 20 years. Because of competitive salaries and generous fringe benefits, some famous semiconductor manufacturers have become the best choice for students right after graduation. However, such magnetic effect has gradually faded away in the face of implementation of expensive employee bonuses. In a changeable environment, sharing knowledge will maintain organizational competitiveness and improve employees’ cohesion. As the semiconductor industry is characterized by a low-wage and high-turnover rate, the incurred job insecurities and career uncertainties have begun to force employees to change their cohesion, loyalty to organizations and even to reduce their willingness to share knowledge with others. This study aims to explore the relationships among organizational commitment (OC), knowledge sharing (KS) and organizational citizenship behavior (OCB) in the Taiwanese semiconductor industry. On the basis of 428 subjects, the results show that KS has a partial mediating effect on the OC–OCB relationship.  相似文献   

Fabrication of long poly(dimethyl siloxane) nanochannels by replicating protein deposit from confined solution evaporation     

Kuo-Feng Lo  Yi-Je Juang 《Biomicrofluidics》2012,6(2)

A relatively simple, inexpensive and reliable technique was developed to fabricate an array of nanochannels. Moreover, the nanochannels are directly integrated to microchannels as a whole, which facilitates solution loading from the millimeter-scaled loading reservoirs into the nanochannels. It is found that continuous bovine serum albumin (BSA) line structures with triangle-like cross section at nanoscale can be obtained by evaporation of BSA solution with concentration between 0.5 wt. % and 1 wt. % inside the microchannels. The poly(dimethyl siloxane) nanochannels were replicated from these line structures, followed by sealing with the glass slide. The DNA molecules can be stretched inside the nanochannels as fabricated.  相似文献   

Review Article: Recent advancements in optofluidic flow cytometer     

Cho SH  Godin JM  Chen CH  Qiao W  Lee H  Lo YH 《Biomicrofluidics》2010,4(4):43001

There is an increasing need to develop optofluidic flow cytometers. Optofluidics, where optics and microfluidics work together to create novel functionalities on a small chip, holds great promise for lab-on-a-chip flow cytometry. The development of a low-cost, compact, handheld flow cytometer and microfluorescence-activated cell sorter system could have a significant impact on the field of point-of-care diagnostics, improving health care in, for example, underserved areas of Africa and Asia, that struggle with epidemics such as HIV∕AIDS. In this paper, we review recent advancements in microfluidics, on-chip optics, novel detection architectures, and integrated sorting mechanisms.  相似文献   

新课改下初中英语听力教学面临的困难及其对策     

罗丽英 《基础教育研究》2005,(3):22-24

英语听力教学具有重要意义。听,在人们日常生活交际活动中作用最大。说话者将信息传递给了听话者,听者只有通过听来获得信息,并对信息主动积极地加工处理,最后做出反馈,它是一种主动、积极的交际行为,同时也是读和写的基础。为此,英语听力已被正式列入中学课程表,引起了广大师生的高度重视,成为英语教学的一大重点。但听一直是英语学习者的一大薄弱环节,如何通过有效教学来提高学生的听力已成为英语教学中师生共同探讨和研究的课题,也是一个很现实和迫切需要解决的问题。  相似文献   

Nationalism and globalism in the junior secondary history curricula of Hong Kong and Shanghai     

Joe Tin‐yau Lo 《Compare》2007,37(1):37-51

Facing the trend and pressure of globalisation, the history curricula of Hong Kong and Shanghai have been undergoing reforms in order to better equip the youth for coping with rapid contextual changes. At the same time, there have been attempts to reposition nationalism in the changing contexts. This paper aims to compare and contrast how the forces of nationalism and globalisation affect, and are re‐presented in, the contents of the junior secondary history curricula of the two cities, with a view to exploring the convergent and divergent trends of development in the two systems (capitalist and socialist) within one country. It is expected that the findings will shed light on the continuities and changes in the junior secondary history curricula of the two cities, and explore possible alternatives for the improvement of history education.  相似文献   

Authoring systems reassessed     

Craig Locatis  Eldon Ullmer  Victor Carr  Richard Banvard  Quang Le  Raulie Lo  Matthew Williamson 《Educational technology research and development : ETR & D》1992,40(2):77-82

A study of authoring system technology was done to update a previous study done in 1985. While the earlier study focused on software selection methods, the current one emphasizes trends in authoring tool characteristics, vendor approaches to the market-place, and evaluation methods. It also raises questions about some of the often tacit assumptions underlying the technology's development and use.  相似文献   

Effectiveness of citrate buffer-fluoride mixture in Terumo tubes as an inhibitor of in vitro glycolysis     

Graziella Bonetti  Mariarosa Carta  Martina Montagnana  Claudia Lo Cascio  Anna Rita Bonfigli  Andrea Mosca  Roberto Testa 《Biochemia medica : ?asopis Hrvatskoga dru?tva medicinskih biokemi?ara / HDMB》2016,26(1):68-76

Introduction

Glycolysis affects glucose determination in vitro. The placement of sample tubes in ice-water slurry with plasma separation within 30 minutes is recommended, or alternatively the use of a glycolysis inhibitor. The aim of our two-steps study was to evaluate which Terumo tube is best for glucose determination in routine clinical setting.

Materials and methods

In the first study, blood from 100 volunteers was collected into lithium heparin (LH), NaF/Na heparin (FH) and NaF/citrate buffer/Na₂EDTA (FC-Mixture) tubes. LH sample was treated as recommended and considered as reference, while FH and FC-Mixture samples were aliquoted, maintained at room temperature (RT) for 1, 2 and 4 hours; centrifuged and plasma analysed in triplicate. In the second study, samples from 375 volunteers were collected in LH, FH and FC-Mixture tubes and held at RT before centrifugation from 10 to 340 minutes, depending on each laboratory practice. Samples were analysed in one analytical run.

Results

In the first study, FH glucose concentrations were 5.15 ± 0.66 mmol/L, 5.05 ± 0.65 mmol/L and 5.00 ± 0.65 mmol/L (P < 0.001) in tubes stored at RT for 1, 2 and 4 hours, respectively. Mean biases in all time points exceeded the analytical goal for desirable bias based on biological variation criteria. FC-Mixture glucose concentrations were 5.48 ± 0.65 mmol/L, 5.46 ± 0.6 mmol/L and 5.46 ± 0.64 mmol/L in tubes stored at RT for 1, 2 and 4 hours, respectively. Mean biases for FC-Mixture glucose in all time points reached optimal analytical goals. In the second study, the biases for LH and FH glucose compared to reference FC-Mixture glucose exceeded the preset analytical goals, regardless of the blood collection to centrifugation time interval.

Conclusions

FC-mixture tubes glucose concentrations were preserved up to 4h storage at RT. We confirmed that NaF alone does not allow immediate glycolysis inhibition in real life pre-centrifugation storage conditions (up to 340 minutes). FC-Mixture should be used exclusively for glucose determination in laboratories unable to implement the recommended blood samples’ treatment.Key words: glucose, pre-analytical phase, sodium fluoride, citrate acidification, stability  相似文献   

Beyond competition: a comparative review of conceptual approaches to international student mobility     

William Yat Wai Lo 《Globalisation, Societies & Education》2019,17(3):261-273

The existing literature offers an instrumentalist approach that focuses on how economic rationality underlies international student mobility (ISM). In response to these instrumentalist accounts, a critical approach emerges and reemphasises the importance of humanity and human rights in ISM and the process of internationalisation of higher education. However, this paper argues that these critical perspectives are insufficient to address the non-instrumental values of ISM. To address this argument, the paper uses the capability approach to reframe the meanings of ISM, thereby broadening the conceptual approaches to this aspect of internationalisation of higher education. Specifically, the paper suggests that international mobility is a way to promote individual freedom. On the conceptual basis of the capability approach, the paper identifies three interrelated orientations for future research on the impact of mobility on international students.  相似文献   

A Dynamic Food Science Internship Program: Integration of Problem-Based Learning and Student-Centered Mentoring     

Y.M. Lo  S.L. Gdovin  J.B. Stankiewicz  L. Appezzato  E.M. Garvey 《Journal of Food Science Education》2002,1(3):45-51

ABSTRACT: An internship program based upon problem-based learning (PBL) and student-centered mentoring is developed. Food science majors are introduced to the program in their sophomore/junior year and follow a process that involves learning-style assessments, career counseling, and direct contact with industrial mentors to develop a resume. The problems are designed in collaboration with a faculty advisor so the students can apply their knowledge to industrial situations. Assessment of performance is conducted by having students submit weekly journal entries and a final report and participate in a closing interview. The journals and reports are graded on 6 aspects of a pedagogical reasoning model: Comprehension, transformation, implementation, evaluation, reflection, and new comprehension. This trains students to use a range of knowledge within a restrained environment, as well as assisting students to refine the critical food science and interpersonal skills needed for successful careers after graduation.  相似文献   

中国近代学官传统的赓续及影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

卢乃桂  沈伟 《教育学报》2011,7(2)

学官是中国传统社会主管学务的官员和官学教师.中国19世纪末20世纪初发生的"废科举、兴学堂"运动促使社会结构与教育系统发生重要改变,教育行政职能也随之变化.晚清政府出现的视学、劝学员,民国时期的视学、辅导员,及老解放区的巡视员、辅导员都在一定程度上继承了学官的传统:监督或研究、指导学务,并向上级行政部门负责.这一教育行政、研究指导职能"两栖化"的现象对理解当今督学、教研员的职能有所启示.  相似文献
