音樂技術英文自傳 MUSIC TECHNOLOGY AUTOBIOGRAPHY EXAMPLE米德佳提供翻譯服務，英文自傳，英文履歷表，英文求職文件，學術論文修改及文件編修等服務。Having come from two extremely musical families, music has always been a prominent part of my life. My love for music developed from recording the radio onto cassettes when I was small, to wanting to know everything about how it all worked. Similarly, during secondary school, my interest in technology began to expand. Suddenly I had found two subjects (music and technology) that I was really passionate about. I went to a local music college to study Music Technology. This included practical and research based lessons in subjects such as Recording, Sequencing and Contextual Studies. I was in a college where the teaching was inspiring. The blend of the practical hands on tutoring, and informative research lessons left me motivated by the amount of input I was getting.This academic fire, sparked by the college, inspired me to push myself, to succeed wherever I could. Studying the two subjects that I am most interested in, Music and Technology, is a great inspiration in itself. Being the ‘Year Representative’ for all three years of my college meant a lot to me. It was my responsibility to be a voice for the students at area meetings and localised college meetings with tutors. It gave me a chance to be actively involved and to put students’ point of view over about the course and the college. Due to my involvement with college I achieved distinction grades for both the technology and the research sides of my studies.In my two gap years, straight after school, I showed that responsibility, and a courteous polite manner, had all been learnt after keeping a solid demanding catering job, dealing with the public and large private functions. The level of work was reflected when I was awarded employee of the month award in a company employing over one hundred people. Once in college I proved I still had these skills and proved that my time management skills were superb, by combining college and a part-time job and letting neither suffer. I also used this time to pursue my other past time. Snowboarding is something I really enjoy even though when I started I was not that good, I worked on my technique and improved. I love hobbies where you can see hard work and perseverance turn into positive results. Snowboarding is just one of them.The course I am applying for looks perfect for me due to the combination of music with technology. I have always been pro-active in seeking ways to learn more about both these subjects from a young age. I got my first practical training when I volunteered to help with P.A. at my local church. In my time at my present college I have used my initiative to organize a placement with an audio hire company, helping setting up, sound check, monitor and pack away for a variety of different bands and acts. I have brought these skills back to my college where I have played an active part of promoting and setting up for college gigs and showcases. I also did a four-week placement at a local secondary school, introducing students to music technology and recording. I found this a valuable experience that mad

助產學英文自傳 MIDWIFERY AUTOBIOGRAPHY EXAMPLE米德佳提供翻譯服務，英文自傳，英文履歷表，英文求職文件，學術論文修改及文件編修等服務。At the age of 5 I recall being intrigued by my mother’s pregnancy. The day my little brother was born I was amazed that he came from my mothers womb. I never forgot that wonderment. 16 years later I was able to experience another pregnancy (from an adults perspective) and was able to see all the different stages, even the birth. This so far has been one of the most rewarding experiences of my life. This made me aware that the role of a midwife involves more than just delivering babies.Within the 3 years of studying health and social care, in 6th form, I was required to complete 2 work experience placements in a social care setting. I chose a nursery and an elderly persons home. This involved caring for people who were generations apart but the fundamentals were the same. My communication and team functioning skills were strengthened as they were constantly being used for me to work effectively. These skills will be essential to work effectively as midwife, as I will have to work in a team with other health care professional and independently to provide the best care for patients. Whilst studying I took up part time employment in retail. Having to attend work, 6th form and complete a number of assignments proved to be tricky but dramatically helped improve my organisational skill.In 2003 I left my family, home and friends to travel to the USA to take part in the Camp America scheme. I had never travelled abroad on my own before but I willingly took on the challenge. I lived at a girls only summer camp for 3 months. My time there involved, working in a team with women from all over the world as well as having to supervise girls aged 11-16 and organise their daily activities. Whilst there my patience, tolerance and communication skills were enhanced as I had to make myself understood through language barriers to girls younger than myself. Being with the girls constantly, friendships were forged but I always had to retain some distance to maintain the position of team leader so knowing how and when to up hold boundaries was learnt and practised. This too can be used in midwifery, as relationships will be forged but professionalism must always be maintained. I understand that the teenage pregnancy rate is high in areas such as Lewisham, Lambeth and Southwark and with the experience of working in Camp America and being young myself, I believe I would be extremely well placed as a teenage parent midwife, once I am accepted on and pass this course.Previously I studied Foundation Degree in Theatre Design and Practice. Requirements of course meant I had to travel to unfamiliar areas and become a member of established teams. This I did successfully. I also studied a level 1 peer mentoring. This will help me when I become a qualified midwife, as I will be expected to become a mentor to those studying in any hospital I will be employed at. Whilst taking the above courses I grew in knowledge, learnt more about myself, improved on existing skills and gained new ones.Research I’ve done and actually witnessing the role of a midwife, I know I am capable and eager to meeting this challenge. As well as the knowledge that will be gained from attending this course, the qualities and characteristics I’ve strengthened and developed so far, will go along way toward what is needed to be a successful. Midwifery is challenging and demanding, as patients look to you to provide them with support, guidance and education, as well as assistance during labour and birth. You have to be dependable and responsible as you are being entrusted with the welfare of patients and their unborn child. My career choice is midwifery. As well, as the qualities listed above I am also trustworthy, dedicated and approachable and would make a good midwife.

生物醫學英文自傳 BIOMEDICAL SCIENCE AUTOBIOGRAPHY EXAMPLE米德佳提供翻譯服務，英文自傳，英文履歷表，英文求職文件，學術論文修改及文件編修等服務。To venture into the realm of science and medicine is to pursue a path of boundless discovery;I am in awe of how much humanity has been shaped by medical advances, paving the way for new cures and better anatomical understanding. Civilisation itself relies solely upon such advances, thus the urge to contribute to an ever-changing profession has long since ignited my interest in a biomedical science course. Alongside the need to apply Biology based science to medical use, the opportunity to further study the complexity of the human body has provided the motivation to steer me towards a well regarded and compelling specialty such as this.To grasp a practical understanding of what biomedicine entails, I volunteered to assist at the Wolverhampton Hospital for a week. Under the guidance of a Geriatrician, I observed ward rounds and often engaged elderly patients in conversation, which only fuelled my desire to partake in a role that strives to improve the healthcare of the wider community. Most of my time was spent touring the haematology department were I was introduced to fascinating clinical concepts such as haemodialysis. Observing laboratory work was an ideal opportunity to gain a profound awareness of diagnosis and blood abnormalities like Sickle Cells Anaemia and Leukemia. Alongside the biomedical experience I also took part in exciting medical procedures, a few of which involved using a stethoscope to detect heart murmurs and respiratory problems. Furthermore, I have also helped out at my local hospital and although this second work experience lacked the biomedical aspects I desired, working with paraplegic patients opened my eyes to the importance of medicine in general and reinforced my desire to aim for a future in biomedical science.My dedication to the course and general love for science is reflected in my A’ level subject choices, where innovative thinking and self motivated study skills are key. Biology and Chemistry provide an analytic aspect of learning, while Maths and Physics help develop the logical problem solving skills which are heavily required in any healthcare profession. I also enjoy absorbing a wide variety of medical related opinions and often yearn for new ways to nurture my interest in this area. I am enthusiastic to develop my scientific knowledge; I find reading the works of Roger Watson help promote an already blossoming fascination with the human anatomy. At school I assist in the organisation of welcome club sessions for Year 7 students. Teaching Biology and Art to younger pupils has not only improved my interpersonal and leadership abilities, but helped me mature as a well rounded person who prides himself in inspiring others. Moreover, I have been involved in school affairs as Year 10 and 11 Representative, speaking on behalf of my form group during School Council meetings. The determination I have displayed throughout my schooling career will prove vital at University were endurance is most desired.Beyond the academic field I frequently partake in various sporting activities, Badminton and Tennis in particular. I have successfully represented my school at a competitive level during local events and competitions. As a member of the Gifted and Talented scheme for Art and Music I have always shown an undying interest and natural flair in the arts, and so regularly take the time to explore this creativity on canvas. I also take pleasure in playing guitar and though I am self-taught, I find it enjoyable and eminently productive.Ultimately, I consider myself to be a well rounded, sociable individual driven by the aspiration to help improve people’s lives by contributing to the advancement of healthcare. My own scientific ideology is based on the notion that society will always depend upon medical innovations to remedy all illness and bodily complications. Therefore, this is something I hugely anticipate and hope to achieve through a biomedical course at university.生物醫學工程是個交叉學科，與生物工程密切相關，其主要特點是將工程學的方法應用到醫學領域中。

醫學英文自傳 MEDICINE AUTOBIOGRAPHY EXAMPLE米德佳提供翻譯服務，英文自傳，英文履歷表，英文求職文件，學術論文修改及文件編修等服務。The complex structure of the human body is a unique beauty. However, when witnessing my uncle deteriorating due to cancer it showed that complexity inescapably meant that problems arise. I realized the effects such illness can have on the patient and their families and appreciate how fulfilling being a doctor would be in such circumstances.I have experienced first-hand how diverse a doctor’s job can be; not just prescribing drugs or performing surgery but also empathy and compassion being key to delivering an effective care. This fact was highlighted during a period of shadowing a Professorial unit at a Department of Psychiatry. Here, I realized the importance of treating patients in a holistic manner; doctors need to be skillful enough to deal with the health implications of both physical and psychological complaints. I was able to observe doctors communicating in difficult situations such as witnessing the emotional despair of a patient suffering from profound depression, where key skills such as empathy, patience and compassion are essential to enhance the doctor-patient relationship. Having observed clinical multidisciplinary team meetings, I am able to appreciate the input various teams have in providing effective care and ensuring a better outcome overall for the patient and their families.Having worked in a care home, I was able to work closely with elderly patients. This made me aware of their specific healthcare needs and challenges in relation to their care. Healthcare needs are influenced by various other factors including gender, ethnicity and social class. Doctors need to demonstrate the capability of recognising these specific healthcare needs and addressing them appropriately. Many patients were in a poor state of health and usually in terminal phases of their illness. This environment exemplified how healthcare staffs are often faced with emotionally stressing situations. My experience of shadowing a GP and the attached community staff exemplified how modern primary care in partnership with secondary care is central to an effective NHS. Furthermore, I understand the research aspect of medicine providing an evidence base for modern medicine as well as the need for clinicians to undertake lifelong learning for the benefit of their patients.Having attended a medical summer school, I had the opportunity to speak to medical professionals and students; Speaking to them made me aware of the challenges associated with a career as a doctor such as the proactive balance between work with long hour shifts with social and family life.I have completed my Bronze and Silver Duke of Edinburgh awards, which enabled me to develop my interpersonal and speaking skills whilst teaching a range of children with different abilities. I am the founder member of my school’s debating club from which I have learnt methods of critical thinking and respectful discourse which may benefit my career in multidisciplinary meetings and case conferences. Within my role as a science prefect, I have been proactively involved in organizing open days. Being chair of Doncaster Interfaith has enabled me to discuss and develop my views on ethical and moral issues. Involving me delivering lectures to the public, furthering my skills in public speaking and leadership. I have started the Crest award to independently explore science alongside my A levels. Biology and chemistry allowed me to develop analytical skills and Physics and Maths have developed my deduction skills in following logical processes to infer results. I love reading as a hobby to increase my knowledge and as entertainment.The medical world is full of intellectual, ethical, physical and emotional challenges which doctors face on a daily basis, but yet this creates a dynamic profession which is one of the most rewarding. My aspiration for excellence and to succeed within the medical profession will no doubt help make a difference to the lives of the future.

在出版稿件的性質上，不論是學術期刊、文學作品、報章雜誌或是兒童刊物，只要是出版物都可以被歸納為兩種不同的稿件來源：邀約投稿（solicited）和主動投稿（unsolicited）。不同的出版社可能因為其經營方針和理念，或有偏向某一類投稿稿件的傾向，但要了解兩種稿件性質上的區別，需要先了解出版兩種稿件對於出版社而言，各代表了什麼意義。邀約投稿：大型出版社為了維持競爭力，傾向於向已經具有知名度和影響力的作者邀約投稿，尤其在與時事相關的議題上，邀約投稿較能保證在時效性內能出版相配和的出版物，相對下更具經濟效益；更者，編輯通常都更加熟悉邀約作者寫作風格，在校稿與修編上能節省時間。主動投稿：由於時代變遷，寫作已不是少數知識分子的專利，近年來主動投稿稿件數量大增，其中更不乏優秀作品，出版社出版主動投稿稿件的比例也不斷增加，甚至有出版業界人士認為，有些主動投稿的新手作者具有著比擁有多年寫作經驗作者更為熱血的精神，此類稿件也有更多元的題材和寫作風格。出版稿件的性質可以細分為三種類別：主動投稿、邀稿和約稿。主動投稿與上述原則相同在此不加以贅述，邀稿和約稿雖有混用情況，但還是可以做出區分。邀稿對象一般是曾在學術期刊上出版過論文的作者，時常有機會收到各類期刊編輯發出的邀稿信函，以鼓勵和宣傳作用為出發點，審查稿件流程和收費情況與主動投稿較無大差異；約稿則是更具有針對性的邀約，編輯可能會提出特定要求以及時間期限，約稿對象更多是在學科中具一定權威的學者們，審查稿件流程和收費情況也可能有相應的調整。

學術論文中的錯誤，不是滔天大罪，無直接刑責，甚至是科學發展的必然過程，同儕審查造假制度的初衷也是建立於學者專家間、健康且科學的辯論與切磋之上。但這些錯誤，並不是毫無代價的，一個公共科學相關的研究論文出現重大錯誤，可能導致納稅人和科研基金浪費在不必要的政策制定上；又或者，生物醫學相關的論文出現重大錯誤，那就是性命攸關的情況了。從2014年初日本學者幹細胞論文數據造假，到前所未聞的學術醜聞，60篇論文大規模從JVC國際期刊撤回，前者修改數據通過同儕審查反映審查的疏失，後者鑽期刊審查漏洞自寫自審體現了機制的不健全，尤其在同儕審查進入了電子時代，期刊監管和政策還尚未成熟，科學領域像是打地鼠一樣，層出不窮的邊找問題邊打補丁。“屏東教育大學離職副教授陳震遠涉嫌偽造同儕審查，導致相關連的60篇論文遭撤銷。學界認為事件相當罕見，嚴重影響台灣學術名譽。陳震遠在投稿國際期刊「震動與控制（Journal Vibration and Control）」時，涉嫌利用偽造的人頭帳號進行同儕審查。英國倫敦SAGE出版公司經過14個月調查，決定撤銷與陳震遠相關的60篇文章，連現任教育部長蔣偉寧共同列名的論文，也遭到波及。"“The peer review scandal that produced 60 retractions from an academic journal last week claimed a high-ranking official of the government of Taiwan on Monday. The state-run news agency CNA reported the resignation of the minister of education, a scientist whose name was listed as a co-author of at least five of the retracted articles.The government had earlier said the name of the minister, Chiang Wei-ling, was added to the papers without his knowledge. He stood by that claim Monday at a news conference. Opposition parties had called for his resignation in the wake of the retractions."
同儕審查造假 Article Sources:

傳統期刊曾經壟斷學術界一切出版並掌握頂級研究成果，其競爭只是在幾大傳統出版商之間。如今加入的競爭對手則是來自完全不同的領域，網站提供免費下載學術論文、期刊提供立即的開放取閱、非營利組織提供資金來源等等，這一切的變化對於不少研究人員也只是紙上談兵，直到學術機構、政府所屬研究組織、頂尖研究組織漸漸開始轉變政策。例如2013年英國研究委員會更改政策，支持學術研究的稅收資金所需的成果評鑑方式，確認更改成以開放取閱期刊為標準，此外白宮和歐盟也接連公布其政策。
若是要評價傳統期刊的終極優勢，期刊編輯應該會聲稱其優質的編修服務和同儕審查系統是無法取代且品質保證的，事實也證明長久以來此優勢也帶給訂閱期刊不可替代的聲譽和地位。
即便是保持觀望立場的或是不全然同意新審查模式的研究人員，也無法忽視傳統模式所存在的眾多弊端，優質編修服務已經不能支撐傳統訂閱期刊繼續生存的情況下，原本不可被替代的聲望訂閱期刊，轉型或淘汰，這是未來的挑戰。
