Research of inflation rate and its determinants: An analysis of GSK corporation in United States
With the rapid development of technology and the economy, more and more companies realized that the macroeconomic factors are quite important in terms of the big changes of them might carry the systematic risks to the whole system. For example, the subprime crisis happened in the United States in 2007 and eventually caused the financial crisis to the whole world. Therefore, this paper will choose the GSK corporation as the sample and analyze the inflation risk and the determinants of it. During this paper, the author used the inflation rate as dependent variables and ROA, ROE, corporate governance index, Tobin’s Q, Altman-Z score, GDP growth rate and the unemployment rate as the independent variables in order to find the relationship among these variables

本研究依據上述之本體論架構,再依循國際藥廠稽查公約組織(Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention and Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme, PIC/S)的規範,發展一套生產履歷系統提供資訊服務。本研究是以國內某一家生技公司為實證分析對象,問卷發放的對象是個案公司負責生產履歷作業人員,本研究是採用層級分析法(AHP)計算評估準則的權重值。因此,根據個案公司評估問卷結果,發現生產履歷系統的應用成效的主要因素為系統品質(63.6%),其次是作業效益(25.5%),最後是資訊及知識應用(10.9%)。本研究實際分析的結果,以本體論為基礎的生產履歷系統可以大幅度降低生產履歷的工作負荷與成本,提升作業品質與工作效率。同時,該系統可提供生產者與消費者完整的生產履歷資訊,作為決策之用途。
Recently with the development of biotechnological industries, both consumers and producers gradually pay more attention to the traceability information about products. Based on the needs of traceability information, this research develops an ontology-based traceability information system that aims to keeping the complete electronic records cover the information about the activities since the time from producers of raw materials to consumers. Therefore, consumers can access the traceability information about products very quickly. To ensure the safety of products, a traceability information system can provide consumers the traceability information about the biotechnological product openly and transparently. Consequently, producers will possess better competitive advantages due to providing consumers the transparent traceability information about products.
This research proposes a framework for developing an ontology-based traceability information system according to the procedures specified by the Pharmaceutical Inspection Convention and Pharmaceutical Inspection Co-operation Scheme (PIC/S). An empirical study is conducted in a biotechnology company in south Taiwan. Questionnaire respondents include persons in the survey company who manage the activities of traceability information about biotechnological products. The weights of evaluating criteria are computed using the AHP method. The findings of this research indicate that major factors affecting the application performance ranks as follows: system quality (63.6%), operational benefits (25.5%), and information and application knowledge (10.9%). In summary, an ontology-based traceability information system can be used to reduce the workload and reduction of total costs, and improve the quality of work and its efficiency. Besides, a traceability information system can provide comprehensive traceability information to producers and consumers for making a better purchase decision
Li Yu xi qu zhong de li shi cheng xian yu min jian mian xiang
M.Phil.As one of the most important playwrights in late imperial China, Li Yu and his plays have long been discussed by researchers. However, many of them have underestimated the significance of Li Yu’s double identity of being, simultaneously, a member of the literati and a professional playwright of the urban theatre. Focusing on the representations of history in Li Yu’s plays, this thesis aims to explore how he negotiated influence from the two identities in his works. It is argued that in most of these plays he managed to deliver his care for the commoner audience, including providing them with theatrical entertainment and a mirror of daily life during the Ming-Qing transition, while expressing his personal concerns and feelings as a literatus.There are seven chapters in this thesis. Chapter One reviews the research history on Li Yu in the past century and raises the above topic of negotiation in question. Chapter Two to Five focus on four of Li Yu’s plays in chronological order, namely Qingzhong pu, Qianzhong lu, Liang xumei and Wanli yuan. All of the four plays were written meticulously as a kind of history, local or national. These four chapters illustrate the ways in which Li Yu combined his personal feelings, reflections on history, empathy with the common people, and equally important, his dramatic artistry. In Chapter Six, Qilin ge and Niutou shan were treated as examples of how popular legends about heroic figures in history such as Qin Qiong and Yue Yun were recreated by Li Yu for the commercial urban theatre in Suzhou. Chapter seven concludes the above discussions.The personal feelings and social cares shown in Li Yu’s plays came from real-life issues. Li not only recorded historical changes and social problems of his time, but also expressed his attitude towards the Qing government after the fall of Ming. By examining Li Yu’s attitude, this research also sheds light on Li Yu’s state of mind in later life, which has seldom been mentioned in the study of this dramatist.李玉(約1611-1677)為明末清初最重要的劇作家之一,學界對其近一世紀的研究已有豐碩成果,然而關於李玉文人與職業劇作家雙重身分對其創作的影響卻未有詳細的討論。故此,本文將視野聚焦在李玉劇作中對歷史的呈現,從文本內部、觀眾接受、外在社會情況等方面,探討其雙重身分在呈現兩種不同的目的與關注時之協調,發掘劇中所寄託的個人情感與民間面向,並觀察當中的變化。本文第一章梳理李玉研究之發展脈絡,提出個人關注的問題。第二至第五章按脫稿時間之先後,分章討論《清忠譜》、《千忠錄》、《兩鬚眉》、《萬裡圓》四部「以曲為史」之作所寄託之個人感懷與反思,及當中所體現的對民間之關懷。第六章以《麒麟閣》與《牛頭山》為李玉以歷史故事入劇之代表,探討李玉如何以劇場重現著名歷史故事,為民間觀眾提供娛樂。第七章就前述各劇之間的內部聯繫,及李玉個人心境與民間面向的變化軌跡作總結。李玉劇作中的個人寄託與對民間的關懷來自對現實的關注。它們不僅見證其身處的時代與社會之轉變,入清後之作更承載個人對易代、對清廷態度的變化。本文欲藉對李玉心態之剖析,填補學界對其後半生心境變化討論上的空白,加深對李玉其人的認識,亦為李玉研究提出就其身分與心態作進一步發展的新方向。劉美宜.Thesis M.Phil.

In Study 2, 102 of the patients were randomly selected to further complete the Zung Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Zung Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS), and Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) to clarify the relationships between negative affect, perceived social support, and impulsivity in these patients.Results: In Study 1, NSSI adolescents scored higher than volunteers on almost all factors of BIS-11 except for Cognitive Instability. In Study 2, Support from significant others mediated the association between SAS and BIS-11 Self-control. Moreover, Support from significant others and family moderated the prediction of SAS score on their BIS-11 Cognitive Complexity.Conclusion: Compared to healthy adolescents, NSSI individuals were more impulsive, while perceived support from family and significant others prevented the anxious NSSI adolescents from lower cognitive complexity. Therefore, more social support should be available to NSSI adolescents with high anxiety to reduce their risk of self-harm due to high impulsivity.Keywords: adolescents, impulsivity, negative affect, non-suicidal self-injury, perceived social suppor
Erika Tan, Halimah-the-Empire-Exhibition-weaver-who-died-whilst-performing-her-craft
Unfolding over a period of three weeks is a special project by London based, Artist-in-Residence Erika Tan (Singapore). Focusing on the forgotten historical figure of Halimah the Malay weaver, Tan will revive her through a series of footnotes and instigate a process of collective labour towards the understanding that history is an effort built by many.
Halimah lived and worked with 19 other Malayans in the 1924 Empire Exhibition in London essentially engaging not only in the production of woven material but also symbolically reproducing Britain’s capital (its colonial subjects). During the day Halimah demonstrated her craft and sold products on one side of the Malayan Pavilion and at night lived behind the displays, cooking, eating and performing everyday life.
This project seeks to liberate Halimah from her textual existence and re-insert her into a contemporary dialogue around nation, art and value – or place, labour, capital. The Lab will be used in a triad of layers – as an exhibition space, a film studio and the site of a live “broadcast” debate with debaters, Meiyi Chan, Annabel Tan, Loh An Lin, Abigail Wong, Sara Ng and Geetha Creffield. They will be joined by filmmakers Lor Huiyun and Jolinna Ang
Progress in the development of mRNA vaccine and its delivery systems for anti-tumor immunotherapy
Due to the drawbacks of low specificity and high risk of side effects of traditional anti-tumor treatments in clinical practice, novel anti-tumor immunotherapy has received attention and has been gradually applied. Tumor immunotherapy is to enhance the anti-tumor immune response by regulating the body’s immune system in order to achieve control and killing of tumors. Tumor immunotherapies include immune checkpoint blockade therapy, over-the-counter cellular immunotherapy and tumor vaccines. Among them, the tumor vaccine stimulates the immune system to produce specific immune cells or antibodies by delivering tumor cell-specific antigens thereby eliminating the tumor cells for the purpose of treating the tumor. In recent years, The field of mRNA vaccines is developing rapidly, and the required mRNA in the synthesis and preparation of the process has been developed and matured, laying a good foundation for the research of tumor mRNA vaccine. Because of the fact that mRNA is easily degraded and cannot enter the cell autonomously, this vaccine requires a suitable delivery vehicle to be successfully taken up by the cell to be effective. Therefore, the development of mRNA vaccine delivery systems has become critical for their better utilization, which is also an important part of whether mRNA vaccines can be developed and utilized for the clinical stage in the field of tumor therapy. This paper briefly introduced the immunotherapeutic methods for tumors, types of tumor vaccines and the mechanism of action and preparation methods of tumor mRNA vaccines, reviewed the research progress and related applications of mRNA vaccines and their common delivery systems in immunotherapy for tumor treatment, and summarized the tumor mRNA vaccines that entered into the phase of clinical trials with the aim of providing assistance for the research of mRNA vaccines for tumors in the future
