An analysis of the lessons learned from tuberculosis control in Shanghai. Tuberculosis Control and Institutional Change in Shanghai, 1911-2011 is the first book on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today. Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of tuberculosis control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. Under the socialist work unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility--factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work units amid wider market reforms in the 1980s and 1990s led to the rise of temporary and casual employment and a huge migrant worker population, with little access to health care, creating new challenges in TB control. This study of Shanghai will provide valu

本書主要是運用手機應用程式與藍芽通訊，轉接到RS485與Modbus RTU的通訊協定，整合的專書，是筆者針對工業上的應用為主軸，進行開發產業上控制電力設備的應用，主要是給讀者熟悉使用Arduino來開發物聯網之各樣產品之原型(ProtoTyping)，進而介紹這些產品衍伸出來的技術、程式撰寫技巧，以漸進式的方法介紹、使用方式、電路連接範例等等。Arduino開發板最強大的不只是它的簡單易學的開發工具，最強大的是它網路功能與簡單易學的模組函式庫，幾乎Maker想到應用於物聯網開發的東西，可以透過眾多的周邊模組，都可以輕易的將想要完成的東西用堆積木的方式快速建立，而且價格比原廠Arduino Yun或Arduino + Wifi Shield更具優勢，最強大的是這些周邊模組對應的函式庫，瑞昱科技有專職的研發人員不斷的支持，讓Maker不需要具有深厚的電子、電機與電路能力，就可以輕易駕御這些模組。所以本書要介紹台灣、中國、歐美等市面上最常見的智慧家庭產品，使用逆向工程的技巧，推敲出這些產品開發的可行性技巧，並以實作方式重作這些產品，讓讀者可以輕鬆學會這些產品開發的可行性技巧，進而提升各位Maker的實力，希望筆者可以推出更多的入門書籍給更多想要進入『Arduino 』、『物聯網』、『工業4.0』這個未來大趨勢，所有才有這個物聯網系列的產生。

A passion. A hatred. A jealousy. A murder.Cory has been following her for months. The longer this goes on, the deeper his obsession grows.

Becoming a part of her life will require him to lie, to deceive, and to make promises he can't keep. Cory thinks he knows what he's doing.

科技是自由的要知道它往哪裡去現在就翻開這本書！◎《WIRED》共同創辦人，科技趨勢大師KK第一本科技經典◎啟發《駭客任務》的科技啟示錄1993年，全球資訊網（WWW）剛剛起步，網際網路正式推向全球。而在1994年，KK便在這本書中預言了網路世代接下來30年，甚至50年的發展。我們至今的所有科技發展，竟然幾乎都在他的預料之中！然而，他帶給我們的不只是科技的預言，更是如何觀察科技的一個創新觀點。一加一等於蘋果――群體的智慧一窩大舉遷徙的蜜蜂是怎麼決定要去哪裡的？為什麼分散式運算會成為人工智慧的重要趨勢？KK告訴我們：有時候，一個完整的智慧是從聚集在一起的微小意識中浮現出來的。這樣的智慧不僅是昆蟲的生存手段，可能更是這個地球的生命來源。進化是一種趨勢――從生物到科技演化，自達爾文那革命性的《物種源始》之後就一直承襲著「天擇」以及「隨機突變」這兩大觀念。但是，愈來愈多科學家認為，這個理論並不完善：複雜的眼睛是怎麼在不同物種間演化的？隨機突變真的是進化的唯一動力嗎？從個體到族群、物種到生態系，更從生物界到科技界，KK在本書中擴展了演化的概念，也說明演化或許不只是一個生命現象。科技也是生物――想要贏，先放手早在工業革命發生以前，就有了可以自己調整步調的發明。人類第一次賦予了機器自理的能力。從那開始，人類愈來愈仰賴機械，而開始讓他們有了自我控制的能力。然而，在我們將創造力交給機器之後，我們也即將失去對科技的控制。在本書中，KK以生物進化適應的角度觀察科技做為一個物種的未來，並提出與科技和平共處的可能解答。KK以生物演化適應的角度觀察科技做為一種生態系的未來，並從中理解到科技需要的並不是命令和控制。我們應該引導科技，讓科技自由發展，這或許才是與科技和平共處的解答。

──美國亞馬遜書城 4.5 星好評、4000則讀者讚譽──頂尖人士從不硬撐！順著大腦本意，你的表現將超乎想像！「我們都必須承受以下兩件事之一：自律的痛苦或悔恨的痛苦。」──作家暨演說家吉姆．羅恩──寫給每一個人的改變自我之書──想培養運動習慣，但只跑 3 天就不想跑了？ 想努力每天背單字，結果根本背不下去？ 想嘗試戒菸，沒想到越想戒，菸反而抽得越多？ 理想很美好，卻總在實踐後產生無數理由導致執行失敗，讓我們一次又一次對自己失望。沒有人天生就能做到自律，但其實自律之所以痛苦，只是因為我們用錯了方法。心理學家教你避開四種常見的失敗模式，並善用個人動力、環境設計與同儕激勵的力量來改變行為路徑，這一次，你的成果肯定能超乎想像！◎99%的自律計畫失敗，都是因為犯了這四種錯誤本書作者彼得．霍林斯專攻心理學，致力於研究人類的表現極限，並向各界人士傳授走向成功的方式。在眾多個案中，他歸納出四種最容易導致計畫失敗的原因，一起來看看你是否也曾經誤觸這些雷區？．一頭熱的設定遠大目標，想要一次做到位，卻發現自己根本做不到，於是故態復萌。．明明想做，但總因為一點小事干擾而感到掃興，甚至想「下次再說」，然後就沒有下次了。．「之前都那麼努力了，偶爾放鬆一下沒關係啦」，給自己理由放縱，結果就回不去了。．「不急著完成，慢慢來吧」，預留寬裕的期限，最後卻只是在浪費時間，幹勁也不知不覺消失了。◎順應大腦本能的四種實踐技巧，幫助你達成目標！想讓自律計畫成功，光靠意志力硬撐絕對走不到終點！曾幫助眾多人達標的作者，從過往的成功經驗中提煉出四種實踐技巧，只要嘗試將這些技巧融入日常實踐，你的成功機率肯定能大幅提升。技巧（1）學會適應「不自在的感受」要堅持做對長遠有益，但短期可能使人不舒服的事，絕對不是一件愉快的事情，因此我們需要讓自己適應這種不舒服的感受。當破戒的衝動來臨時，我們要嘗試將這種衝動與自己區分開來。例如：「我想抽菸」的想法，可以轉念為「我現在有想抽菸的衝動」，並加以體驗和觀察，直到衝動消退，你就能逐漸戰勝這種衝動。技巧（2）打造無干擾的環境設計並維護個人所處環境，是最有效的方法。改善環境有兩大重點：減少雜亂與干擾，以及利用預設效應讓選擇自動化。排除了會讓你分心或誘使偏離目標的因素後，思緒將會變得更清晰，且能有效提升注意力、效率與生產力。你不再需要依賴意志力來達成目標，而是自動執行預設的行為。技巧（3）

各式各樣的無刷馬達控制應用已經在我們的生活周遭出現，你知道嗎？光是馬達相關的電力消耗就佔了世界電力總消耗的四成半以上，這絕對是個很重要的課題，每天我們都看到要節能減碳的口號和標語，其實節能就要從改善馬達的效能開始。這些年來，我們陸陸續續完成許多無刷馬達的應用案例，大家都知道這會比較省電，然後呢？有機會更省電嗎？有機會改得更好嗎？這就是我們出版這本書的原因之一，讓這些馬達控制寶貴的經驗可以流傳下去。本套書是屬於工程師的參考書，內容涵蓋廣泛，我們把書分成三冊五大主題，並加上價值滿滿的附錄：▌硬體整合篇★【軟硬體整合操作】：說明 STM32G431 MCU 以及 ST 開發工具的使用、注意事項，經驗分享與程式範例。★【馬達驅動器的使用與認識】：無刷馬達低壓驅動器與高壓驅動器的使用與電路分析，還加上無刷壓縮機專章，說明變頻控制與冷媒系統知識。▌知識篇★【設計知識】：說明 ADC、UART、EXTI、DAC 等 MCU 周邊功能，讓我們可以加入 VR、按鈕等控制介面方便測試，或是搭配 ST Motor Control Workbench、示波器、電表等觀察輸出訊號。★【基本應用例】：作者十幾年來無感/有感馬達驅動、帶 Hall/Encoder 驅動開發設計案例分享解析，馬達故障分析、以及開發過程常會用到的小工具。▌系統篇★【系統知識】：實務解析馬達控制所需要知道的 FOC、SVPWM、PID 關鍵知識與波形觀察技巧，以及 MOSFET、Rshunt 等相關零組件的挑選，規格書中 SOA 的解讀，電路板 Layout 重點。★【附錄】：包含用照片分享 12 個案例故事、CORDIC 計算方法與應用、故障原因解析、FOC 公式總整理、以及參考文獻，都是不可不翻閱的精彩內容。寫馬達控制程式沒有碰到任何困難是不可能的。我們常會遇到類似的狀況，無刷馬達轉了 5 秒後停止？對了一半？！其實馬達只要不正常停止，就表示程式的內容有欠周詳。明明看到馬達在轉了，可是我們沒有叫它停，它卻自己就停了！這一定是哪一個突發的錯誤發生，如何做故障分析呢？這都是在考驗你的耐心和分析能力。經驗告訴我們稍作分析就大約可以知道方向，可是如果你還沒有這方面的相關經驗時，本書應該就是指引你方向的明燈，我們會告訴你大概的方向和方法，最後解決的正式方法還是要靠你自己去發掘的。如果一本書 100% 只寫對的部分，只寫過去成

「我們對傳染有諸多感受，這些感受本身就是一種傳染。」「傳染不僅是醫學課題，更是社會的隱喻、道德的試煉與文明的陰影。」「傳染病的歷史從來不是單純的醫學史，而是一部關於社會規訓、道德教化與文化想像的歷史。」「傳染的敘述由歷史、文化、社會建構而成，因此傳染也是語言的構建。…傳染本身就是一種隱喻的語言。」「我們或許對某些疾病產生免疫力，但我們面對疾病而產生的恐懼與焦慮，始終無法免疫。」「傳染病最核心的特質在於它的必然性：問題從來不在於是否會爆發，而在於何時與何地爆發。歷史並未過去，而是以不同的面貌在當下回返，提醒我們，人類社會與傳染病始終處於一種無可避免的糾纏之中：疫情從未真正遠離過，而我們與疫情之間的距離竟如此貼近。」本書深入探討維多利亞時期文學與文化中對「傳染」的再現，並分析這些再現如何形塑一套以監控與控制為核心的道德經濟。作者試圖揭示，傳染論述在實踐層面的運作如何影響醫學科學、文學創作與大眾想像三者之間的交織互動。在維多利亞時期的世界觀中，潔淨被視為道德乃至神聖的象徵，這種價值觀滲透至當時的科學理論、文化生產以及日常生活。傳染論述圍繞著「潔淨」與「傳染」的二元對立，並在相關的治療與預防實踐中，逐步演變為一種醫療化與監控並重的文化機制，構成一種「健康政治」與「道德經濟」。本書旨在拆解形塑此一傳染論述的文學與文化因素，進一步檢視這些歷史性的想像如何在當代社會延續其影響，並藉由分析狄更斯、南丁格爾、查德威克、蓋斯凱爾、史諾等維多利亞作家與學者的經典作品，探討傳染與潔淨之間的隱喻與權力邏輯，探究傳染論述至今為何仍深深影響我們對健康、風險與他者的理解與治理。

But can Emba control the growing powers inside her or will everything fall apart along the way?

過去，摧毀意志需要一座集中營；現在，重塑心智只需要你口袋裡的手機。在數據驅動與監控資本主義的今日，當每一個人都可能成為情緒操控的對象，「真相」是否早已成為一種不穩定、隨時可被重塑的狀態？從韓戰時期美國戰俘遭遇的「硬性洗腦」，到今日社群媒體與演算法運作下的「柔性操控」，回溯歷史上為了屈服意志、改造心靈所打造的各種系統，揭示心智如何在創傷與混亂中被引導、被改寫，以及，在資訊操控時代，我們還能如何保有自由意志？◎你不是意志薄弱，而是有人懂得如何利用「心理創傷」。我們總以為，「洗腦」只存在於戰俘營或神祕邪教之中，與日常無關。但這套原本在戰爭用來翻弄意志的技術，如今早以變成由數據驅動的演算法，在你滑動手機的瞬間，悄然左右心理與行為。我們每天做出的選擇、抱持的信念，甚至一閃而過的情緒，有多少源於「自由意志」，又有多少是被「精心設計」的結果？洗腦的形式，已從奪取「身體的控制權」，轉向操控「情緒與注意力」，但遵循的邏輯卻驚人一致：透過製造失據與不確定，利用創傷與壓力，使人陷入混亂與依賴，更容易被引導、被說服，甚至被改變。戰俘營思想改造、CIA審訊技術、以「矯正暴力」為名的精神外科手術、統一教營隊、Facebook情緒傳染實驗、加密貨幣與占星術、YouTube的激進化機制……那些曾經粗暴而直接的精神控制手段，如今已變得更精密、更隱蔽、也更「柔性」，潛伏在我們每日滑動的螢幕、點擊的連結，以及與我們對話的AI之中。我們所認知的「真相」，遠比想像的更脆弱、更值得商榷。本書帶你看懂當代資訊環境與說服技術的運作方式，幫助我們在假訊息與政治宣傳氾濫的當下，在社群媒體、AI與前所未見的監控資本主義時代，保持清醒與判斷力。

人類學家的寫史之作。以不同世代麻風醫生的悲喜滄桑，串起現代中國的劇烈變動。***2018，臺灣Openbook中文創作年度好書2019，香港文藝復興非虛構寫作獎2021，國際亞洲研究學者大會研究圖書獎***「我不僅從麻風患者身上學到生命的韌性，也從醫師與救助者身上學到可貴的人性。在漫長的研究與書寫過程中，我發展出了一種信仰，我不知道它與宗教是否相似。我將自己當成一座橋梁，練習彎腰、承擔與跨越，因緣際會扮演起連結過去與現在、隱微與清晰、底層與公眾之間的研究書寫者角色。我有幸被人接納、聽其述說、見識歷史、體驗生活。既然幸運如我，無論有再多困難，我都得負重盡責地把這本書寫出來。」──摘自本書〈跋：黑暗中的熒熒燭光〉一個國家想要消滅一種疾病，可以做到何種程度？在一九五○至八○年代的中國，麻風防疫是一項高度組織化的國家工程。透過集體化制度與大規模動員，中國在數十年間大幅壓低麻風盛行率，進程之快，遠超其他人口規模相當的國家。但「成功」的背後，是一段幾乎被遺忘的歷史。人類學家劉紹華耗時十餘年，訪談數十位麻風醫生、深入麻風村與檔案現場，重建這段隱晦的防疫歷程。書中最動人的，是那些被戲稱為「麻風頭」的老醫生。他們長期處於醫療體系與社會評價的邊緣，甚至連同行也對其工作抱持輕視。在極度匱乏與高度汙名的環境中，他們除了要面對艱苦的底層醫療，還必須壓抑委屈、維持專業，承擔起難以言說的情緒勞動。那些被貶抑為「活人公墓」的麻風村，則構成另一幅弔詭的場景。隔離，原本意味著排除與遺棄，但在政治風暴最劇烈的年代，這些孤立聚落反而成為某種寧靜島嶼。紅衛兵因恐懼傳染而不敢進入，使部分知識與醫療實作得以在黑暗時代中延續。《麻風醫生與巨變中國》初版問世後，屢獲國內外重要書籍獎項。此次修訂新版於COVID-19之後推出，意義尤為深遠。當全球再次經歷大規模防疫與治理實驗，本書所提出的問題，顯得格外迫切；所呈現的經驗，也變得不再遙遠。當國家以公共利益之名行動，防疫是否仍只是醫療問題？當消滅疫病成為最高原則，那些沉默的個人究竟付出了多大的代價？本書再次邀請讀者共同反思。
