This course aims to teach the fundamentals of biological mass spectrometry with particular focus on applications to proteomics and analysis of protein modifications. The course will begin with an introduction to the general aspects of mass spectrometry-based peptide sequencing and protein identification, along with recent technological developments in the context of advancing quantitative shotgun proteomic analysis. Current perspectives in global versus directed analysis, speed versus depth in proteomic coverage, will be discussed. This will then be followed by introducing the practical aspects of MS analysis of select protein modifications, at both the levels of single targeted protein of interest and the proteomic scale. Topics include phosphoproteomics; lysine modifications such as acetylation, methylation, ubiquitination, and SUMOylation; cysteine modifications such as oxidation, glutathionylation and S-nitrosylation; and glycosylation. The last further accompanied by an overview of MS-based glycomics and glycoproteomics. College of Life Science Academia Sinica Opens to life science Master and PhD Students, as well as keen senior undergraduates major in Biochemistry, who have a basic knowledge of protein chemistry and structures, and the commonly found modifications. No absolute prerequisite is set but will be advantageous and encouraged to have first taken one or more of the core courses offered at 生化所 in the first semester eg 蛋白質修飾機制與細胞訊息；結構生化學. Chemistry graduates interested in biology and major in chemical biology are also encouraged and accepted.

In this course we look closely at several Taiwanese films over the past two decades, and through them we intend to understand what prominent phenomena and changes have been taking place in Taiwan’s social culture. As some of the films speak to the current socio-political conditions on this island, some reflect an emerging cultural trend, while others indicate social problems and propose what we can do in response. In any case, those films present themselves as various attempts to make conversations with Taiwanese society and Taiwanese people, and in this course we “read” those films as we also consider and discuss crucial social issues in Taiwan. Through this course we expect to understand the social development vis-a-vis cinema in Taiwan. We look closely at the emergence of Taiwan New Cinema in the 1980s as well as the socio-political and -cultural contexts in which it emerged. This course moves on to discuss various subject matters and social trends in Taiwan from the 1990s on; we also look at the films produced in Taiwan in relation to those matters and trends. College of Management Main Campus Throughout the semester, the students are expected to fulfill a midterm assignment and submit the final paper. Each week the students will be asked to engage the recommended readings or films, most of which will be topics of class discussion. They will be encouraged to pursue readings/films beyond the recommendations. How the students respond to the discussions will be considered their overall performance in this course. The details of those assignment will be announced in class. Kuo Jen-Feng 120 Thursday 8,9 LibEdu1050 (H01E05000) 2 http://cge.ntu.edu.tw/?lang=en

This is an academically-focused course designed to increase students’ understanding of international law related to disability from a human-rights-based perspective. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (UN CRPD) will play a central role in study throughout the semester. Two important aspects of this course will be to 1) Provide students with a multifaceted comprehension of disability rights theory and its implications for modern society in the fields of education, employment, government participation, etc. 2) Encourage students to more broadly consider how disability and “mainstream” society are interlinked and cannot be compartmentalized, especially given the rapidly-evolving technological advancement of the modern world. This course and its accompanying exams will be designed not to test students’ ability to memorize provisions of various international disability rights laws, but rather to challenge students to think deeply about barriers that exist in society in relation to persons with disabilities and think about issues related to disability from different perspectives, as well as offer creative solutions to difficult problems faced by those who support disability rights within society. The teaching style of the course will: A) Be student-centered, B) Comprehensive, and C) Consider why and how, not only what the law is. Throughout the semester, students will be called upon to actively participate in in-class discussion, do numerous short writing assignments, give their own ideas, and consider international perspectives. 5 Topics of Course Content: 1) Introduction to Disability Rights Movement and UN CRPD 2) Employment and Education 3) International Disability Rights 4) Participation in society, government, and culture 5) Disability rights as human rights, new tech and the future Two main goals: 1) Help students understand the role of law and social movements in eliminating barriers and protecting full and equal rights for persons with disabilities. 2) Ensure students’ ability to research and discuss these topics successfully in English.

This course invites students to think, discuss and have fun. It should enable students to: Know something of and think critically about the main theories explaining the major features of contract law; Consider how these theories deal with some foundational anchors such as ‘autonomy’, ‘freedom of contract’, ‘the intention of the parties’, ‘vitiation’ and ‘expectation interest’; Consider the extent to which these theories ‘fit’ with the common law; Consider the appropriate role of the state in regulating the activity of contracting, eg consumer protection, contracts to sell body organs etc; Consider how contract law both mirrors and shapes society’s conception of human interaction and human good; and Be able to engage in normative analysis of the law (how the law should be) with a view to desirable law reform College of Law Main Campus Mindy Chen-Wishart 50 Intensive courses LAW5258 (A21EU5120) 1 (College of Law) Graduate Institute of Law,

The course will concentrate on injuries involving physical harms, although mental disturbance in connection with these physical harms will also be considered. Most of the coverage will involve American tort law, but there will be occasional references to British cases and applications. At the completion of this section of the course, students should be able to: 1)identify and describe major theories of Anglo-American tort law; 2)analyze and understand common law case decisions; 3)apply legal reasoning to factual situations; 4)understand how tort law fits within the framework of the US legal system College of Law Main Campus The class requires active, regular participation in and preparation for classroom discussions. Much of the class will be conducted through what is known as a “Socratic dialogue,” in which the professor will lead students through a series of questions and answers, based on the assigned cases and other materials. I hope to learn from you about tort law in the Republic of China and elsewhere in Asia, just as you learn about tort law in the United States of America and other nations applying Anglo-Saxon common law principles. Please read and analyze all of the assigned materials before class to facilitate discussions. Regular and punctual attendance will be required, as mastery of the written material alone will be insufficient to master the subject-matter. The examination will be an open-book exam. Students who wish to use laptops on the exam may do so. Robert M.
