Sensors-on-flapping-wings (SOFW) using complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) MEMS technology
No full textThis article presents a framework of using MEMS sensors to investigate unsteady flow speeds of a flapping wing or the new concept of sensors on flapping wings (SOFWs). Based on the implemented self-heating flow sensor using U18 complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) MEMS foundry provided by the Taiwan Semiconductor Research Institute (TSRI), the compact sensing region of the flow sensor was incorporated for in situ diagnostics of biomimetic flapping issues. The sensitivity of the CMOS MEMS flow sensor, packaged with a parylene coating of 10 μm thick to prolong the lifetime, was observed as −3.24 mV/V/(m/s), which was below the flow speed of 6 m/s. A comprehensive investigation was conducted on integrating CMOS MEMS flow sensors on the leading edge of the mean aerodynamic chord (m.a.c.) of the flexible 70-cm-span flapping wings. The interpreted flow speed signals were checked and demonstrated similar behavior with the (net) thrust force exerted on the flapping wing, as measured in the wind tunnel experiments using the force gauge. The experimental results confirm that the in situ measurements using the concept of SOFWs can be useful for measuring the aerodynamic forces of flapping wings effectively, and it can also serve for future potential applications.補正完畢CH
The Self-Employed Workers Statute in Spain and its Inspiration for Taiwan
No full text隨著商業模式、人力運用態樣之推陳出新，勞動型態日趨多元且複雜，致使勞動者身分認定、勞動保護之必要性與途徑等議題近年成為各界關注之焦點，惟各界見解分歧，莫衷一是。我國現行勞動法主要係以勞工為保障對象，對於不具勞工身分之勞動者所提供之保障較為不足，且多僅聚焦於渠等職業安全衛生與社會安全之保障。揆諸在勞工與自營作業者兩端點間創設中間類型勞動者之觀點，於國內逐漸獲得學界、行政機關，及立法者之支持，此部分盱衡諸多國家皆已藉由創設具經濟依賴性之勞動者身分，作為擴張勞動保護途徑，無疑係一可行途徑。其中，西班牙立法者因慮及勞動者縱在法律上無法被歸類為勞工，仍有受保護之需求，而透過制定自營作業者法，在勞動光譜中，創設經濟依賴型自營作業者，對於渠等之勞動基本權、個別勞動條件、集體勞動權，乃至社會安全皆設有周延之保障。透過文獻分析，本文以為該國諸多保障規範均具高度參考價值，其中尤以下列5項構面誠值我國借鏡：1.明確之契約終止事由，及受領勞務者無正當理由終止契約之責任；2.不受歧視與隱私之權利；3.訂定書面契約之規範，俾利勞動者身分之證明與行政管理；4.勞動三權之明確規範；5.保障非自願暫停經濟活動之經濟安全。補正完畢TW
ESG Disclosure Frequency and Its Association with Market Performance: Evidence from Taiwan
No full textThis study challenges the conventional wisdom that investor reactions to Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) information are primarily driven by disclosure sentiment. We propose and test an alternative hypothesis: that for investors navigating information-rich environments, the frequency of ESG disclosures can serve as a more potent signal of a firm’s underlying commitment and risk profile than the sentiment of the announcements themselves. Focusing on Taiwan’s capital market—a globally pivotal technology hub—we analyze 2576 firm-initiated ESG events from 2014 to 2023 using an event study methodology. We innovate by employing a BERT-based NLP model, specifically fine-tuned for Traditional Chinese, to disentangle the effects of disclosure frequency from sentiment. Our results reveal that announcement frequency is a more robust predictor of abnormal returns than sentiment, but its effect is highly contingent on the ESG pillar. A higher frequency of negative Social (S) and Governance (G) disclosures incurs a significant market penalty, whereas frequent proactive Environmental (E) disclosures are rewarded. These findings establish a “disclosure frequency premium/penalty” and offer critical, nuanced insights for corporate strategy and sustainable investment. By demonstrating how communication patterns shape market perceptions, this research directly informs UN SDG 12 (Responsible Production) and SDG 16 (Strong Institutions).補正完畢CH
Does the future imagination treatment affect people's pro-environmental intention and donation decisions?
No full textThis study investigates the impact of a future imagination treatment on individuals’ pro-environmental intentions and donation behaviors, utilizing the theory of planned behavior (TPB) as a framework. A total of 442 students from National Chengchi University participated in the research, which involved an experimental group that envisioned living conditions in the year 2100 and a control group. Employing seemingly unrelated regressions and a three-stage least squares model, we analyzed the donation decisions in the context of a dictator game (Camerer in Behavioral Game Theory: Experiments in Strategic Interaction, Princeton University Press, 2011). The results revealed that the imaginary-trip-to-the-future treatment did not significantly impact pro-environmental donations. However, individuals’ intentions to mitigate climate change were positively correlated with their decisions to contribute to climate change initiatives. Additionally, key factors such as attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and futurability were found to significantly influence these intentions, highlighting the intergenerational sustainability dilemma. These findings enhance our understanding of the complexities surrounding pro-environmental behavior and suggest potential avenues for future research aimed at promoting environmental sustainability.補正完畢NL
翻轉教室與傳統教學對瑜伽課程學生學習動機、認知負荷與自我效能之影響
No full text傳統教學中教師講授知識、學生被動接收訊息容易造成認知負荷過高，而翻轉教室強調學生課前自主學習、課堂互動和練習能有效降低外在認知負荷。本研究旨在探討不同教學模式（翻轉教室與傳統教學）及作業安排（有作業與無作業）對大學生瑜伽課程學習動機、認知負荷和自我效能的影響。研究對象為臺灣北部某綜合大學修習瑜伽課程的194位學生，大部分學生具備基本的瑜伽動作技能，少數為初學者。研究採用準實驗設計，將班級隨機抽籤分派為：翻轉教室有作業組（53人）、翻轉教室無作業組（56人）、傳統教學有作業組（52人）及傳統教學無作業組（33人），分析不同教學模式和作業安排對學生認知負荷、學習動機和自我效能的影響。研究結果顯示，翻轉教室能有效降低學生的認知負荷，然而對學習動機與自我效能並未帶來顯著提升，顯示可能需要更長期或更深入的教學介入；同時，作業安排雖在理論上可輔助課前學習並減少外在認知負荷，但其效果並不顯著。本研究結論為教師在實施翻轉教室前應充分評估教學能力與課程難度，適度調整作業量與難度，並在課堂中納入高層次思考與互動活動，協助學生在自主學習與同儕合作中深化理解與能力感。補正完畢TW
Roles of ownership structure and investment opportunities in directing internal capital allocation within groups
No full textBy employing regression analyses on matched samples formed by propensity score matching to investigate the factors driving internal capital allocation decisions, this study reveals a negative relationship between net capital inflows via related-party borrowing and sales, implying that resources within groups are circulated rather than allocated in a unidirectional way. After controlling for net capital inflows via related-party sales (borrowing) and other covariates within each year and industry, we find that the negative relationship between profitability and net capital inflows via related-party borrowing is concentrated among the firms in which controlling shareholders have large ownership and a high level of corporate control in terms of voting rights and board control. These findings suggest that the linkage between controlling shareholders’ private benefits and firms and controlling shareholders’ influence on managerial decisions drives the coinsurance or cross-subsidization function of internal capital markets within groups.補正完畢GB
