Integrating Google BERT Semantic Features in LSTM Recurrent Neural Network Modelling for Sentiment Analysis of Food Comments
No full text[[abstract]]在網路服務快速的發展，人們之間的交流也開始慢慢地轉移到了網路平台上，使用者會自發性的在網路上分享個人的想法，隨著行動裝置的普及，人們無法做決定時，都會去參考網路評論對於店家的評價，透過關鍵字的搜尋，取得店家的評論，這些網路上的主觀評論意見，就能夠作為消費前的參考依據。在這些評論中有些帶有個人情緒與主觀思考，因此透過情緒分析提取評論中的特徵，來分析人們的意見、評價、態度以及情緒走向，並且結合計算語言學、人工智慧、機器學習、深度學習、資訊檢索與資料探勘等技術，來做更多關於情緒分析的研究。Google Maps 是其中一個公開於網路上的評論平台，其評論大多屬於簡短文句，文本組成結構相較於專業的影評文章較為簡單，情緒特徵較為明顯，因此本研究使用Google Maps 上的美食餐廳評論作為實驗的資料來源。在機器學習領域，常見的深度學習架構有多層感知器MLP (Multilayer Perecptron)、卷積神經網路CNN (Convolutional Neural Network)、遞迴神經網路RNN (Recurrent Neural Network)、長短期記憶LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory)，本研究挑選傳統的貝氏分類器、LSTM遞迴神經網路與Google BERT，來互相做比較，並觀察不同的機器學期模型在訓練與測試上的表現。從實驗結果中發現BERT+LSTM模型在二分類情緒分析的實驗中正確率最高。[[abstract]]With the rapid development of network services, people's communication has gradually shifted from face-to-face interaction to online messaging via network platforms, and users will spontaneously share their personal ideas on the Internet. With the popularity of mobile devices, when people would like to purchase some merchandise, they will refer to the corresponding evaluation from online public comments. Although many comments on the Internet are subjective, they can be used as valuable references before consumption. Online comments convey emotional and subjective thoughts. Therefore, sentiment analysis can extract the features of comments to explore consumers’ opinions, evaluations, attitudes and emotional trends, and more deep research integrates various techniques based on computational linguistics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, deep learning, information retrieval, data mining, etc.Google Maps is one of the most popular opinion platforms on the Internet. In general, its comments are mostly short sentences, whose text composition structure is simpler so that the associated emotional characteristics are easier to identify. This study uses the food restaurant comments on Google Maps as the experimental data source. In the field of machine learning, well-known deep learning architectures include MLP (Multilayer Perceptron), CNN (Convolutional Neural Network), RNN (Recurrent Neural Network), LSTM (Long Short-Term Memory), and so on. In this thesis, traditional Bayesian classifier, LSTM recurrent neural network and Google BERT are applied to compare the performance of sentiment analysis in both training and testing phases. According to the experimental results, the BERT+LSTM model achieves the highest accuracy in the experiments of dichotomy-based sentiment analysis

However, electromagnetic waves have been proven that they may be harmful to human health in many studies; therefore, the electromagnetic shielding and electrostatic protection are necessary. The purpose of this study is to reduce the harm of electromagnetic waves to humans. First, stainless steel wires are used as the core and are wrapped in bamboo charcoal yarns along the S- and Z-direction with different wrapping counts via an electrical covering machine, thereby forming stainless steel (S)/bamboo charcoal (B) wrapped yarns. The wrapped yarns are then examined for tensile strength and elongation to obtain the optimal parameters. Next, S/B wrapped yarns (the wrap material) and spandex fibers (the core) are twisted at different twisting counts and twisting speeds into bi-layered elastic wrapped yarns via a rotor twister. Last, the bi-layered elastic wrapped yarns and bamboo charcoal yarns serve as the face yarns, while antibacterial yarns, cross-section wicking yarns, and spandex fibers are used as the ground yarns. A computer jacquard hose machine is used to form these materials into elastic, functional complex weft knits. The influences of wrapping counts on the mechanical and physical properties of the knits are tested in order to make the functional complex knits. The tests include maximum tensile strength elongation, elastic recovery, rigid flex, electromagnetic shielding effectiveness, far-infrared emissivity, negative ion content, moisture absorption and antibacterial properties. Finally, an optimized composite functional knitted fabric is found to have multiple functions and permanent electromagnetic wave protection functions, and the design and application of functional health care equipment are carried out.This research is divided into three stages. The first stage is the preparation of composite wrapping yarn; the second stage is the preparation of composite knitted fabrics; the third stage is the design and application of composite knitted fabrics in protective gear. Summing up the first two stages, the results show that the maximum tensile strength elongation of the composite knitted fabric can reach 453.45 cN; the best elongation is 539.614 %, and the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness can reach 38.3 dB. The composite fabric with 15 turns/cm of wrap number has the best air permeability value. The far-infrared emissivity effect is above 0.8 ?. The electromagnetic shielding effectiveness can reach a dB value of 49.19 in the low frequency section of the fabric wale direction at 278 MHz, and the shielding rate can reach 99.99 %. Both reach the electromagnetic shielding effectiveness value of more than 20 dB, which is qualified to be used as standard commodities. When the wrapping number is changed to 12 turns/cm, the far- infrared radiation rate has better emissivity, which is 0.84 ?. And the fabric with the wrapping number of 12 turns/cm has the best negative ion content of 516 counts/cm3.According to the above research results, the average best value can be achieved at the changing wrap number of 12 turns/cm. Therefore, in the third stage of the design and application of the protective gear, in the knitted fabric structure design part, the best composite wrapping yarn parameters are used to compare and test the weaving of the complex changing structure of composite knitted fabrics, which are respectively the plain weave, the net weave 1*1 and net weave 2*2 . In the third stage, the test results of the changing structure of protective gear application and design show that plain weave has the best negative ion 488 counts/cm3; and the best elastic recovery rate is 81.56 %, 76.16 %. Its best strengths in the wale and course directions are 453.45 cN strength and 343.69 cN strength values, and the best elongation is 539.61 % elongation rate and 555.23 % elongation value. The net weave structure 1*1 has the best far-infrared emission rate of 0.86 ?. Its single-layer electromagnetic shield in the wale direction can reach the highest value of 57.35 dB, and the double-layer electromagnetic shield in the wale direction can reach the highest value of 44.13 dB. The net weave structure 2*2 has the best air permeability value of 10.11 cm3/s/cm2; the elastic recovery rate has a value of 76.96 % in the wale direction. Its single-layer electromagnetic shield is up to 41.59 dB in the course direction, and the double layer of 45?/0? reaches the maximum value of 45.16 dB, and the double layer of 90?/0? reaches the maximum value of 32.98 dB.This research focuses on designing two kinds of waist protection products: protective belt and protective abdominal support belt. Based on the best test data of the composite knitted fabric (plain weave, net weave 1*1, net weave 2*2), the application and production of waist protection belt and abdominal support belt are proceeded. Finally, the research and development for designed fashionable protective belts and abdominal support belts with electromagnetic shield/heat preservation/moisture absorption/antibacterial/elastic are completed; the health protection gear can achieve both design and multiple protection and functional when used

Diabetic patients need to use pen needles to inject insulin drugs by themselves at home. The process from the installation of the needle to the injection to the disposal of the needle, if there is a little error in the process, needle sticks and exposure to blood-borne pathogens may occur. In the classification of medical wastes of the Environmental Protection Administration of the Executive Yuan, the random disposal process may cause the patient himself, his family, and other people such as street cleaners and Garbage cleaning members, unnecessarily suffer the risk of needle sticks and the possible causes of the community infection, if diabetic patients do not put pen needles in a solid container first. The research objectives are following:1. Investigate the prevalence of needle sticks caused by needle disposal in diabetic patients.2. Understand the knowledge, attitude and behavior of pen needle disposal in diabetic patients.3. Analyze the relationship between the knowledge, attitude and behavior of needle disposal by different demographic variables of diabetic patients.4. Explore the correlation between knowledge, attitude and behavior of needle disposal in diabetic patients.5. Analyze the main factors influencing needle disposal behavior. This study is a cross-sectional study and using a non-random purposive sampling method. It is adopted by a self-made questionnaires survey. Experts analyzed the content of the questionnaire and conducted the item analysis and factor analysis after the pre-test for the validity. The knowledge scale Cronbach alpha is 0.66, the attitude scale Cronbach alpha is 0.81, and the behavior scale Cronbach alpha is 0.79. The content of the questionnaire is divided into two parts, which are demographic variables and the investigation scale of the needle disposal knowledge, attitude, and behavior of the diabetic patients. A total of 220 cases were completed in the Cheng Ching Hospital Chung Kang Branch in Taichung City. The acceptance conditions are diabetic patients over 20 years old (inclusive) and used pen needles injecting insulin for more than one year (inclusive). All data of the questionnaire would be encoded and archived by SPSS 25.0 with t-test, ANOVA, the Product-moment correlation, multiple regression analysis. This investigation verifies the related factors between the scores of the analysis above for the needle disposal knowledge, attitude, and behavior of diabetic patients. The results show the prevalence rate of needlestick injury in diabetic patients is 35.9%. The demographic variables with significant differences in needle disposal knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors are following: whether the needle stabbed people (others or yourself) or not, education level of diabetic patients, whether medical personnel explained the needle disposal health education or not, and how many times for a needle to use. The knowledge, attitude, and behavior of needle disposal are significantly positively correlated.

No full text[[abstract]]長者健康識能的學習和實踐是預防健康問題的關鍵。然而，台灣針對高齡長者健康識能相關研究之重點至今仍偏向居住於大都市之長者；因此，本研究目的旨在瞭解台灣鄉村地區長者健康識能和網際網路使用現況，並探討健康識能與網際網路使用之相關性。本研究採用兩年期之「台灣年長者健康識能之前置因子及後果」研究計劃資料庫中的資料進行次級資料分析，該研究為橫斷性研究設計，採方便取樣。本研究擷取原始資料庫中符合收案納入條件之127名居住於鄉村地區之高齡長者進行次級資料分析。研究結果顯示，有80.3 %鄉村地區長者有使用網際網路的習慣；此外，31.5 %長者屬於低健康識能的程度。本研究結果亦發現，鄉村地區長者的教育程度與健康識能（χ? = 22.98, p < .01）及網際網路使用（χ? = 24.15, p < .01）間具有顯著差異；而健康識能總分（r = .423, p < .01）、次量表之「門診對話」（r = .322, p < .01）、以及「用藥資訊」（r = .429, p < .01）皆與網際網路的使用呈現顯著正相關。期望本研究結果能做為衛生相關機構推廣高齡長者網際網路使用的參考依據，以提高台灣鄉村長者健康識能程度，進而提升其生活品質，使鄉村長者實踐在地老化與健康老化之目標，進而邁向活躍老化的實務。[[abstract]]Learning and practicing of health literacy for older people is the keys to prevent health problems. However, the focus of research on the health literacy is still based on the Taiwanese older people who are living in metropolises. Therefore, the purpose of this research was to understand the current status of internet usage as well as the levels of health literacy among Taiwanese older people in rural areas, and to explore the correlation between internet usage and health literacy of Taiwanese older people in rural areas.This study was analyzed by using a secondary database from the "The antecedents and consequences of health literacy in Taiwanese older people" study, which was designed for the cross-sectional study design and the convenience sampling method. One hundred twenty-seven valid samples of older people who met the criteria for inclusion were screened and retrevived from the original database. The results of the study showed that 80.3 % of the older people in rural areas were internet users. In addition, 31.5 % of the older people presented a low level of health literacy. The results of this study also found that there were significant differences between the education level and health literacy (χ? = 22.98, p < .01), and internet usage (χ? = 24.15, p < .01) of older people in rural areas. The total scores for health literacy (r = .423, p < .01), “outpatient dialogue” (r = .322, p < .01) subscale, and “drug information” (r = .429, p < .01) subscale were all significantly to have positive correlations to the internet usage.It is hoped that the results of this study could be used as references for health-related organizations to promote the internet usage to enhance the health literacy of the Taiwanese older people in rural areas, thereby improving their quality of life to implement the goals of aging in place as well as healthy aging. Consequently, the practices of active aging will be achieved
