Variation-Aware Analog Structural Synthesis

本書集結六篇論文（第一、三、四、六篇德文，第二篇西班牙文，第五篇義大利文），本書為因應時代變遷下的教育環境及學生職涯挑戰，在教學方法上所提出新的論述及建構。 This book contains essays by various teachers from different universities and departments with the aim of presenting modern teaching methods for the changed learning and study conditions on the basis of theoretical preliminary considerations. Language teachers at Taiwanese universities often encounter similar difficulties in designing lessons: students’ increasing frustration and lack of motivation. Many students experience a high level of frustration and demotivation; they cannot find future prospects in language studies. Confronted with reality of time-consuming internships, part-time jobs and life, many students become painfully aware that a linguistic degree won’t prepare them for later work or provides career opportunities. In addition, they realize their low language skills and life experiences. Aware of that problem, the language departments have to find new teaching methods and create curricula which

開放AI陣營集結 隨著UEC與UA Link這兩項專為AI資料中心設計的開放互連技術完成標準制定，並開始進入商品化，開放AI陣營將有機會在2026年組織出一波對NVIDIA更有威脅性的攻勢。雖然NVIDIA仍將穩居市場龍頭，但以超微為首的開放陣營，應可在2026年取得更多斬獲。 另一方面，AI應用的爆發，使得PCIe技術的演進步伐必須再加快，因此，在PCIe 7.0標準正式發布後，PCISIG同時發表了Optical Aware Retimer標準與PCIe 8.0開始路徑探索階段的消息。同時，為了加快認證速度，讓PCIe產品早日進入市場，PCI-SIG也終於在亞太地區授權第三方實驗室執行授權驗證。

An indefatigable discoverer and preserver of lost traditions in the field of classical Chinese medicine, Liu Lihong has done it again—The Yellow Emperor’s Inner Transmission of Acupuncture features a passionate and clinically relevant synthesis of his discipleship with Yang Zhenhai, one of the last remaining master practitioners of Daoist acupuncture in mainland China. At the forefront of an international discourse on the definition and clinical significance of classical Chinese medicine, Yang and Liu promote yet another holistic medical system that radically contrasts the current penchant for symptom-oriented procedures. This English edition of their book lifts an important esoteric acupuncture lineage out of obscurity and presents it to us in complete and accessible form. The holistic approach has also defined Liu’s relentless search for the heart of Chinese medicine during the last three decades, driving his commitment to become the promoter of a diverse spectrum of healing tradit

China’s ascent to the ranks of the world’s second largest economic power has given its revolution a better image than that of its Russian counterpart. Yet the two have a great deal in common. Indeed, the Chinese revolution was a carbon copy of its predecessor, until Mao became aware, not so much of the failures of the Russian model, but of its inability to adapt to an overcrowded third-world country. Yet, instead of correcting that model, Mao decided to go further and faster in the same direction. The aftershock of an earthquake may be weaker, but the Great Leap Forward of 1958 in China was far more destructive than the Great Turn of 1929 in the Soviet Union. It was conceived with an idealistic end but failed to take all the possibilities into account. China’s development only took off after—and thanks to—Mao’s death, once the country turned its back on the revolution. Lucien Bianco’s original comparative study highlights the similarities: the all-powerful bureaucracy; the over-explo

Why is Selflessness a way to Wisdom? This book is a real story, but more than that it is also a book for academic life education purpose. It first contains real stories from eleven suicide prevention telephone hotline volunteers of the Samaritan Befrienders Hong Kong (SBHK) who had been serving for more than 25 years. They came from all walks of life such as engineer, businessman, teacher, nurses and housewife. There were episodes of unforgettable conversation between volunteers and clients, stories of how volunteer managed the situation when a suicide attempt was ongoing at the other end of the phone. Based on these stories, the author, who are also a long-serving volunteers of SBHK himself, combined with several academic references to explore relationships between empathy, selflessness, virtues, transcendence, wisdom and Eudaimonia (ultimate happiness) which human being should be aware of and to try to understand. This book consists of two parts. The first part is a series of stor

For so many around the world, it was in the cinema that they saw their first glimpse of martial arts. Through the films of Lau Kar Leung, among others, they came to appreciate the power and skill of many kung fu techniques. However devotees and practitioners of kung fu and Hung Kuen were aware of the much longer tradition of these arts and in particular, the contribution of both the Lam family and the Lau family. In 2009 the Hong Kong Government endeavoured to identify and recognize forms of intangible cultural heritage. It was this awareness of a vibrant part of Hong Kong history and culture which led to the creation of the Hong Kong Martial Arts Living Archive, and from this the exhibition, Lingnan Hung Kuen Across the Century: Kung Fu Narratives in Hong Kong Cinema and Community. In the exhibition and this companion book, the histories of the Lam and Lau families are traced, and their role in preserving and creating new stances and forms and bringing Hung Kuen to a wider audience th

The book provides guidelines and practical creative exercises which equip creative-major students in early semesters as well as creative practitioners with fundamental knowledge on creation methods. Combination of functionality, simplicity and aesthetics in modern design is considered a fundamental design principle in the Bauhaus School in Germany,and, inspired by the School, the creative handcrafting exercises and the concepts introduced in this book are primarily coherent with this principle. The book draws a direction between two and three dimensional material-based design and modern digital creation process. The first part of the book introduces various creative handcrafting exerciseson proportion, geometry and modularity, among other fundamental design principles. The creative exercises will sensitise students on aesthetical and structural issues, and thus serve as an essential building block for application of the design principles to computer-based creative processes, which ar

Competition is Fierce, 2013 Taiwanese Industry Expects Transition Global economy, surviving from the impact of the previous financial crisis, is now presenting a slow-to-moderate growth rate in 2013. Taiwan is now facing the pressure from regional economy expansion, new threats from Asia’s newly developing countries and competition from Japan/Korea with their strong industrial vertically integrated power. Moreover, there is a trend for those major western multinational companies to move their overseas manufacturing and technical services back to their mother lands, creating a new face of the global supply chain. More severe industrial competition is being expected. As such, Taiwan needs to aggressively proceed with its own industry structural transformation concentrating on the industries, investment, human resources and industrial efficiency. One of the government efforts could be made to continue building the industrial intelligent information service system through the mechanism of

Multiple Modernities approaches the concept of modernity through two historical phases of Norawy. The first study focuses on the interplay between Lutheran state officials and popular movements in the nineteenth century as an essential aspect of the growth of social democracy. The second examination of modernization centers on twentieth-century Norway after World War II. The book is balanced between theoretical remarks on conceptual issues, an assessment of modernization processes, and a study of basic epistemic and structural challenges that confront us in our time. Scandinavian countries are often noted as cases of successful modernization processes. However, these references to a “Scandinavian model” tend to focus on the mid-twentieth century after World War II. In Skirbekk’s view, the uniqueness of modernization processes in Scandinavia, for instance in Norway, is better conceived historically, not least by focusing on the nineteenth century with a continuation into the twentieth c

社会经济地位会影响人们的健康。不管是在发达国家还是发展中国家，都可以发现一个人的社会经济地位越高，他的健康状况越好。从多病因角度来看，除了遗传和物理因素之外，健康问题和疾病主要是由各种各样的社会因素所决定的。根据与健康因果关系的远近，所有的社会决定因素可以分为近端因素，中端因素和远端因素三个层次。一些研究已经表明近端因素生活习惯对社会经济地位产生的健康不平等具有中介作用，但中端因素社会交往是否能够调节社会经济地位产生的健康不平等却有待检验。本研究以日本和中国的两个城市老年人为例，进行了大规模的问卷调查和追踪调查，通过SPSS软件和Amos软件的统计分析，建立了社会经济地位、社会交往、生活习惯与健康的结构模型，验证了社会交往和生活习惯的中介调节作用。该研究系统地探讨了社会经济地位影响城市老年人健康的机制，丰富了不同性别和不同年龄老年人社会经济地位与健康关系的结构模型。同时也为政府制定老年人的相关政策时提供基础数据和建议。

最有利標 (Most Advantageous Tendering, MAT) 決標之精神係 參酌先進國家之作法及世界貿易組織(WTO)政府採購協定，讓 政府各機關確實能依招標文件所規定之評審標準作綜合評選， 以擇定功能佳、條件好之最佳決標對象，把預算用得最有價 值，並避免廠商惡性低價搶標。 隨著國內所涉及的各類標案 種類繁多且日趨複雜，如何根據標案的特性，應用多準則決策 方法(Multiple Criteria Decision Making Method, MCD之M)適用 準則形式、假設條件及適用範圍，構建符合政府各機關需求的 選商機制，已經是各機關及學界多年來關心的課題。 本研究的目的在結合機關內現行之作法，提出一套真正符合法 規精神且可適用於不同標案特性需求之最有利標決策模式。首 先透過相關文獻蒐集與機關標案專業人士深入訪談，彙整出最 有利標7大構面及其關鍵影響之22個準則，接著運用詮釋結構 模式(Interpretive Structural Modeling, ISM)來判別構面與構面 之間及準則與準則之間的相依關係，最後結合ANP、模糊分析 網路程序法(FANP)與優先向量法(Priority Vector)找出最有利標 之評選架構最適權重，並進行標案企劃書實證研究。

全球X光影像設備市場呈現平穩成長，整體市場平均成長率僅約達2~3%，隨著全球資訊數位化比重逐漸增加，再加上數位X光影像設備提供了傳統X光影像設備所不能達到的諸多優點，如數位X光影像設備可以較低輻射劑量提供更高品質影像、成像快速、減少重製，都大幅增進生產能力與效率。除此之外，數位影像亦可供診斷醫師以電子化方式，進行影像的檢視、擷取、傳送、分析，大大提高簡化傳統工作流程與提高醫療院所的整體效率，因此，數位X光影像設備儼然已經成為市場未來成長的主要動能。 另一方面，歐美先進國家雖仍為主要區域市場，然新興市場具備未來成長空間與發展潛力，預期在這些新興國家基礎醫療設施建構等市場需求增加情況下，讓許多醫院慢慢由傳統洗片式的X光機逐漸升級為數位X光影像系統，更驅動著數位X光影像設備未來市場的成長。特別是亞太區域市場，市佔率將從2013年24%大幅提升至2018年的26.7%，成為重點發展區域。 在市場發展機會方面，本研究依據未來市場規模與成長潛力、現有市場飽和度以及國家數位化基礎建設程度等面向，建立可逐步篩選市場並發展不同因應策略的分析模式。國家數位化具一定程度且未來市場潛力相對較高的國家，將是台灣廠商可以優先布局的區塊，諸如中國大陸或墨西哥等國。以中國大陸為例，由於數位化程度具一定基礎，因此，當地規模較大型的醫院滲透率相對較高，未來市場成長動能將落於二級以下的醫療院所，這些單位由於預算有限，因此，價格與適地化功能將為其主要考量之一。此外，從設備數量來看，目前電腦掃描放射影像(Computed Radiography；CR)數目佔整體市場2/3，預期在醫療支出的持續增加、醫改政策的帶動，以及接受數位X光放射影像(Digital Radiography；DR)的保險給付較高的因素下，未來會有升級以及換機的需求，值得台灣廠商優先考量。 而數位化程度低，但市場未來潛力相對高者，以印度為例，目前市場樣態仍多以傳統X光影像設備(Analog Radiography；AR)為主，對於數位X光設備需求度尚處於初期，因此，在切入策略上，將以聚焦於私立醫療院所為主，並透過搭配影像處理軟體，降低醫師的學習曲線，以提高其轉換使用意願。此外，由於該國數位化程度有限，因此再切入時，若可搭配醫療影像儲存與傳輸系統(Picture Archiving and Communication System；P

西方異文化的衝擊 既是中國文化的災難 也是中國文化的轉機 本書企圖指出中國文化改弦易轍後 在工業生產和民主政治前途上所遭遇的曲折 以及所顯露的曙光 本書從中國遠古的文化形成與其架構講起，除了參考結構功用主義（structural- functionalism）的理論，也兼採李維史陀（Claude Levi-Strauss）的神話研究路徑以及佛洛依德(Sigmund Freud)和榮格（Carl G. Jung）所建構的心理分析和文化原型(archetype)的理論，主要討論的是中國文化在歷史發展中的基層架構及其影響。其重點有二： 一、提出「老人文化」做為中國文化基層架構的表徵：虞舜和姜太公的神話反映出古中國以周文化為基礎的「老人文化」的基本特徵，是故代表周文化的儒家在農業經濟、宗法制度的社會中得以一枝獨秀，屹立數千年。但是到了工業社會，老人權力頓失，缺點顯露，反倒成了社會進步的阻礙。 二、提出「繭式文化」做為人類文明發展的共同模式：中華文明歷經數千年屢蹼屢起，其間晦暗之時，與其若湯恩比(Arnold Toynbee)稱之謂「僵化」(petrifaction)，莫若稱之謂「繭化」。任何文化相對於族群都具有雙重作用：一面維繫、保護族群的生存與發展，一面也局限了族群的發展趨向，正如繭之於蛹的關係。中國文化也須經過繭縛與破繭的過程，如果能破繭而出，自將會是另一種面貌。 西方異文化的衝擊，既是中國文化的災難，同時也是中國文化的轉機，本書也企圖指出中國文化改弦易轍後，在工業生產和民主政治前途上所遭遇的曲折以及所顯露的曙光。
