Science

Kung Fu has evolved from a traditional means of defence to become a system of attacking and defending oneself, with or without weapons, exercising the body and maintaining good physical and mental health. As such, these practices have found an international following. Yet what has remained a largely unexplored area is the scientific principles behind these martial arts. This book not only covers the brief history of Chinese martial arts, but also brings together the wisdom of a Kung Fu grand master with a scientist and teacher to explain the scientific reasons why Kung Fu is the powerful practice that it is. Using the principles of physics, biomechanics and biology, with a number of drawings showing some basic postures of Kung Fu, the authors present a deep understanding of how the styles, the specific movements and methods of attack and defence operate.

【内容简介】 19世纪中叶以后，西方“科学”science的概念传入东亚。Science的出现强烈地冲击着东方传统的学术体系。本书首先聚焦science如何在日本被赋予“科学”这一词语形式，并演变成为包括中国在内的东亚的时代关键词这一问题；同时，以严复为切入口，讨论清末民初科学概念的形成、流变以及对中国社会的影响。全书具体阐述以下4点：（1）在日语的影响下，汉语如何表述science，及以其为中心的一系列概念？（2）当时中国社会怎样理解作为学术体系的science，与传统的“格致”张力如何？（3）science作为方法论的“赛先生”是如何渗透的？（4）社会精英，如胡适、鲁迅等对“科学”的理解及宣传。

神經科學的研究影響層面在近十年來急遽擴大，該學門橫跨基礎科學、工程和醫學領域，除了具備多重轉譯潛能，也涵蓋了藥物、醫材和輔具等相關的產業化應用，對於追求健康樂齡生活的未來社會而言具有不容忽視的重要性。國研院科技政策研究與資訊中心（Science & Technology Policy Research and Information Center, STPI）長期深耕學術研究資訊服務與科技資訊分析，特與全球專業資訊服務提供者科睿唯安（Clarivate）學術研究事業群（Web of Science Group）合作，運用Web of Science及Essential Science Indicators資料庫進行文獻分群及主題剖析，以瞭解神經科學領域的研究現況及新興熱門研究方向，同時邀請國內專家進行深度訪談，瞭解領域專家對未來神經科學領域發展方向的建議。

Wisdom means learning to live with ambivalence and to embrace uncertainty Helga Nowotny’s memoir provides a detailed account of her life, highlighting the challenges and triumphs of a woman who defied convention in the male-dominated field of science. From her early days in science and technology studies, where she faced bureaucratic hurdles, to her influential role in shaping the European Research Council, Nowotny offers a candid look at her career. She shares personal stories of navigating the complexities of academia and policy, revealing the uncertainties and contingencies that shaped her life and work. This memoir resonates with anyone who has pursued a path less traveled, and offers a glimpse into the resilience and ambition required to succeed in challenging environments. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Future Needs Wisdom is not really a memoir, nor is it an intellectual history, nor is it e

我國過去相關研究在進行領域的學術能量分析時，多依據資料庫廠商的期刊領域分類系統的角度檢視，該領域分類與我國國家科學及技術委員會(國科會)的學門分類並不相同。本研究嘗試以系統性的方法，串連國科會學門分類與期刊學科領域，以進行國科會學門層級的學術研究表現。本研究資料來源為科睿唯安公司(Clarivate)的Web of Science資料庫，包含自然科學引文索引擴大版(Science Citation Index Expanded, SCIE)，與社會科學引文索引(Social Science Citation Index, SSCI)、藝術人文引文索引(Arts & Humanities Citation Index, AHCI)，發表年介於2014-2021年，被引用次數計算至2022年9月30日。本研究初步完成學門分類與學術期刊學科領域之對應，並以國科會自然科學及永續研究發展處的10個學門為例，分析各學門學術能量，指標包含論文發表數量、引用相關指標、國際合著比例等，以瞭解學門層級的學術發表情形與影響力。此外國科會於2018年增設「新興/其他領域」學門，本研究亦透過串接研究計畫資料與論文書目資料，以瞭解該學門的成立，是否確實帶來了新的領域的產生，以及瞭解是哪類型的學者申請此學門的計畫。本研究之分析結果有助於了解學門領域層級的研究能量，並可做為相關部會未來規劃補助方案、研究資源配置之參考。

研究以「國家」及「機構」層級觀察我國2011-2020 年之學術競爭力，以概覽全球學術發表狀況，並針對我國19 所研究型大學進行分析。本研究分別採用Web of Science 和Scopus 二大書目資料庫進行檢索，指標採用則兼具質化與量化，藉此瞭解現行二大商用書目資料庫的異同。

本合集由5個故事組成: 永生國 碧海青天 外星商旅 筆先生 堆填巨獸 自從2020年出版了後，小河接著出版新的合集，取名《小河：科幻小說集》。記得當初創作時，只為一時靈感，希望帶出一點啟發、一點思想、一點感受！今次得以出版，實在是一件非常高興的事！ 我們習慣了說科幻小說，其實Science and Fancy是兩種小說類型。Science小説需要有科學依據，所以我的路線更適宜以科技Science來表達。因為，這些事情，今天已經實現，或接近能實現。所以，這是一個現實的科幻世界！ 就每個故事，筆者亦加了圖片，希望更能帶出故事場境！而且，筆者亦創作了相關歌曲，用簡單的製作，放了在YouTube。 這些故事的題材，關乎整體人類，有很大的包容性和適應性，無論在世界各地，無論時局怎麼變遷，都是影視傳媒的好材料。如果業內人士有合作意向，可聯絡本人! 另外，如果有出版社想譯作該國語言出版，歡迎與我聯絡！ 本人聯絡: samuelho111@gmail.com

The English edition of Liu Lihong’s milestone work is a sublime beacon for the profession of Chinese medicine in the 21st century. Classical Chinese Medicine delivers a straightforward critique of the politically motivated “integration” of traditional Chinese wisdom with Western science during the last sixty years, and represents an ardent appeal for the recognition of Chinese medicine as a science in its own right. Professor Liu’s candid presentation has made this book a bestseller in China, treasured not only by medical students and doctors, but by vast numbers of non-professionals who long for a state of health and well-being that is founded in a deeper sense of cultural identity. Oriental medicine education has made great strides in the West since the 1970s, but clear guidelines regarding the “traditional” nature of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) remain undefined. Classical Chinese Medicine not only delineates the educational and clinical problems faced by the profession in bo
