Logistics,Supply Chain Management,and Taiwan residents Immigration Assessed in Light of Globalization

Organizations regardless of size can take advantage of the market dynamics brought about by globalization.Supply chain management is crucial for large organizations,especially with regard to the costs,complexity,and risks of its large,often global,supply chains.From technology to risk management,learning what it takes to navigate transportation and logistics business management in today’s volatile world is critical.Human migration has accelerated in light of globalization and rapid advances in transportation(particularly aviation)technology.This study investigated the connection between logistics and supply chain management in the age of globalization;reviewed the migration,settlement,and naturalization of Taiwan residents immigrants along the West Coast of the United States;and theoretically analyzed the forces that have led to the construction of the Taiwan residents immigrant community.Taiwan residents immigrants and their settlement are affected by global forces,and factors such as their cross-cultural trade,the characteristics of diasporic communities,and their national identity can provide scholarly and pedagogical insights.

Constructing a ＂Common Field＂ Across the Taiwan Strait via Environmentalism？ Case Studies of Cross-Strait Environment NGO Exchanges

This paper examines cases of exchange among environmental non-governmental organizations （ENGOs） between Taiwan and China. Based on interviews with three Taiwan Residents ENGOs and five Chinese ENGOs, this article has come up with the following preliminary observations. First, Chinese ENGOs have already built widespread connections with international community and developed good partner relationship within international groups. The exchange between the ENGOs across the Taiwan Strait is part of such a global network. Second, unlike other external or international actors, the Taiwan Residents ENGOs rarely provide direct financial support to the Chinese counterparts. Instead, the most important impact the Taiwan Residents ENGOs have brought to their Chinese counterparts are their accounts of ideas and their experiences of practices. Third, due to similar language and cultural backgrounds, Taiwan Residents ENGOs have a more important role in influencing their Chinese counterparts in comparison with other international connection. These direct contacts have contributed to form a ＂common identity＂ of environmentalism among the ENGOs across the strait, which actually is also part of a ＂global identity of environmentalism＂. Exchanges across the Taiwan Strait among ENGOs have provided a case in which cross-strait relations can be constructed and construed beyond nationalistic or economic context. ENGOs of Taiwan and China are developing a ＂common identity＂ as partners in a global community via ＂environmentalism＂.

Regeneration and anti-migration of sand waves associated with sand mining in the Taiwan Shoal

Sand waves in the Taiwan Shoal are characterized by two distinct spatial scales. Giant sand waves have a length of2 kilometers with height between 5 m and 25 m, whilst small sand waves is less than 100-m long with height less than 5 m between giant sand wave peaks(crests). A series of five high-resolution multi-beam echo-sounding surveys between 2012 and 2020 in the middle of Taiwan Shoal indicated that artificial dredging on the giant sand waves had caused sand wave reform and evolution. Overall, the removal of giant sand waves significantly affected the migration of small sand waves adjacent to the dredging site, with the latter on both sides of the former appear to migrate towards the dredging pit. Moreover, in the dredging area, new sand waves emerged with wavelength much smaller than the original giant sand waves, while the convergent pattern of the small sand waves tends to store and form the giant sand waves, which might spread far beyond the survey period.

Embryonic Development and Eclosion Season of New Species Berastagia (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) from Taiwan

This paper describes a new species of the snout moth Berastagia tainanica sp. nov. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) from Taiwan. From 2009 to 2016, a biology study was conducted on population dynamics and embryonic development. Spring season is the peak of the eclosion of overwintering larvae or pupae. The average longevity of adult was 14.8 ± 6.2 days (N = 174), the average number of eggs laid was 259 ± 3 eggs/moth (N = 2), the hatching rate of eggs was 95.4% (N = 262), and the average hatching time of eggs was 99.6 ± 18.6 hours (N = 68). The average body length of males was 5.64 mm ± 0.91 mm (N = 30), and the average body length of females was 6.28 mm ± 0.84 mm (N = 30). This finding indicates that female snout moths are larger than males (Global R = 0.058, P = 0.012). The snout moth eclosion rate was 16.9 moths/100 pods in the first year (2010/2011, N = 2,224 pods) and 10.9 moths/100 pods in the second year (2014/2015, N = 6,382 pods). The pod borer rate was 31.8% (N = 707) and the seed borer rate was 41.2% (N = 3,628) in the first year, whereas the pod borer rate was 76.2% (N = 6,382) in the second year.

Fuzzy cluster analysis of water mass in the western Taiwan Strait in spring 2019

The classification of the springtime water mass has an important influence on the hydrography,regional climate change and fishery in the Taiwan Strait.Based on 58 stations of CTD profiling data collected in the western and southwestern Taiwan Strait during the spring cruise of 2019,we analyze the spatial distributions of temperature(T)and salinity(S)in the investigation area.Then by using the fuzzy cluster method combined with the T-S similarity number,we classify the investigation area into 5 water masses:the Minzhe Coastal Water(MZCW),the Taiwan Strait Mixed Water(TSMW),the South China Sea Surface Water(SCSSW),the South China Sea Subsurface Water(SCSUW)and the Kuroshio Branch Water(KBW).The MZCW appears in the near surface layer along the western coast of Taiwan Strait,showing low-salinity(<32.0)tongues near the Minjiang River Estuary and the Xiamen Bay mouth.The TSMW covers most upper layer of the investigation area.The SCSSW is mainly distributed in the upper layer of the southwestern Taiwan Strait,beneath which is the SCSUW.The KBW is a high temperature(core value of 26.36℃)and high salinity(core value of 34.62)water mass located southeast of the Taiwan Bank and partially in the central Taiwan Strait.

The Taiwan Question China From the Perspective of International Crisis Management:History and Future

The Taiwan Question China discussed in this paper belongs to the theoretical crisis discussion on international relations and does not regard the Cross-Strait relations as relations between different countries.The outcome of the 2024 Taiwan Election has a great impact on the Taiwan question,the latest poll shows that the possibility of the Democratic Progressive Party(DPP)candidate to come to power is still very high,because its political evolution trend of Taiwan independence still exists.

Higher Education in Taiwan:An Observation Through the Perspective of English Language Teaching

Globalization has developed into an ideological discourse that drives change,because of the perceived immediacy and need to adapt to a new world order.It has a significant impact on the political,social,economic,cultural,and educational aspects.A visible transition has also been occurring in higher education.The world has grown extremely competitive because of the expending of globalization.Universities all over the world have to enhance their competitiveness through Englishization in higher education.Taiwan is experiencing educational reforms in higher education,in a way in which it is similar to other Asian nations,in order to maintain its competitiveness in the world.This article focuses on how globalization exacerbates competitiveness around the world,particularly in the educational sectors.The aim of this study is to review and to define how globalization is affecting higher education and in what way it has an impact on education policy in the context of Taiwan’s higher education.The effects of globalization on global citizenship will also be examined,in order to give a full reflection.

台湾地区2024年“二合一”选举结果及影响分析

台湾地区2024年“二合一”选举在中美战略博弈持续、两岸关系严峻复杂的形势下举行。各主要政党展开激烈竞逐,打破岛内传统政治生态格局。民进党赖清德以未过半的相对多数票当选,立法机构呈“三党不过半”新局,折射出加速分化的岛内民意以及多元竞合的政党政治新态势。未来4年,岛内政局将在民进党当局“三重少数”执政下以立法机构为重心展开角力,政局恐将动荡不安。两岸关系的对抗性和不确定性进一步上升,内地发展进步将持续增强对两岸关系的主导权和主动权,民进党继续执政无法改变两岸关系发展基本格局。

Exploring Taiwan’s China Landscape Painting Aesthetic Preferences Through Evaluation Grid Method and the Continuous Fuzzy Kano Model

The primary objective of this study is to apply the Evaluation Grid Method(EGM)and the continuous fuzzy Kano quality model to explore the cognitive preferences of Taiwan China residents regarding the beauty of Taiwan’s China landscape paintings.The aim is to contribute to the development of social and cultural art and promote the widespread appeal of art products.Through a literature review,consultations with aesthetic experts,and the application of Miryoku Engineering’s EGM,this paper consolidates the factors that contribute to the attractiveness of painting art products among Taiwan China residents,taking into account various aesthetic qualities.Simultaneously,the paper introduces the use of the triangular fuzzy golden ratio scale semantics,specifically the equal-ratio aesthetic scale semantics,as a replacement for the traditional subjective consciousness model.Departing from the traditional discrete Kano model that employs the mode as the standard for evaluating quality,this study applies triangular fuzzy numbers to the continuous Kano quality model to analyze the diverse preferences and evaluation standards of the public.The hope is that this research methodology will not only deepen Taiwan China residents’understanding and aesthetic literacy of painting art but also serve as a reference for the popularization of art products.

基于学生评教结果的台湾地区高校教师教学质量管理机制研究

以学生为教育评价主体对教师的教学过程进行评价,已是高校教育改革的重要环节。如何对待学生评价,尤其是差评,是校方要把握的重要内容。为此对台湾地区23所高校出台的教师教学评价实施与追踪辅导相关办法进行了文本分析。从分析结果来看,各校要求评教结果能充分反映出教师教学情况、顾及评教结果不佳教师的感受并且充分保护当事人的隐私,从多方面寻找教师评教结果的问题与解决途径,以及柔性的辅导与刚性的惩戒机制并行兼施。台湾地区高校的这些做法值得借鉴。

对“台湾有事即日本有事”论调的解析与批判

“台湾有事即日本有事”谬论在日本由来已久,从初期酝酿到正式提出经历了一个演变过程。该论调有着深刻的历史原因、现实背景和日本基于自身利益的考量。“台湾有事即日本有事”论调反映了日本将自身“安全”与台湾地区相联系的观念,关系到日本的对台政策是否会转变的问题。这实质上是日本干涉中国内政的表现,将纯属中国内政的台湾地区问题与日本的所谓“安全保障”进行捆绑。在美国遏制与打压中国的背景下,日本强化了与美国的同盟关系,并加大对台湾地区问题的干预,以遏制中国。这无疑给中国政府处理和解决台湾地区问题增加了难度,也给两岸统一增添了新的障碍,并使台海局势进一步紧张。当然,该论调也受到中日关系及日本国内因素的制约。未来,日本可能进一步加大介入台湾地区问题的力度,中国需要警惕日本将该言论扩大化的企图及其推动台湾地区问题“国际化”的图谋。

“台湾400年史”之说的由来、谬误与危害

所谓“台湾400年史”之说,是将中国台湾“有史时代”的长度界定为400年,将十六七世纪葡萄牙、荷兰、西班牙等西方国家对中国台湾的“发现”与殖民侵略视为台湾历史的“开端”,是“台独”分子建构“台独史观”的重要基础。虽然该说与连横《台湾通史》的某些表述有表面相似之处,但是内涵完全不同。“台独”分子宣传“台湾400年史”之说的主要目的,一为鼓吹在西方殖民者的影响下,中国台湾历史发展已“脱离中国”,融入世界;二为淡化乃至抹杀西方殖民者到来之前中国台湾与内地之间的长期往来的交流历史。所谓十六七世纪中国台湾与世界“接轨”,不过是当时中国经贸开始与西方接轨这一庞大历史进程的有机组成部分,也是自古以来两岸有着密切历史联系的证据,更是中国台湾历史不可分割的重要内容。为此,应正本清源,与“台独史观”进行坚决斗争,向两岸人民传递正确的中国史观。

台湾地区“大法官释宪”对警察权转型的影响

从1990年至今,台湾地区“大法官释宪”制度在限制警察权和保障人权等方面发挥了重要作用。在人身自由等基本人权保障方面,“大法官”议决坚持法官保留、正当法律程序、法律明确性和比例原则,使威权时期极度扩张的警察权受到严格规范和制约,进而实现转型。近年来在警察执法的隐私权保护领域,“大法官释宪”也取得了一定成绩。台湾地区“大法官释宪”制度的升级,将继续影响台湾地区警政制度的发展与走向。

重塑乡村共同体的理论逻辑与实践路径——以台湾共荣社区为借鉴

面对传统乡村共同体日渐衰败的困境,重塑乡村共同体成为推进乡村全面振兴的应有之义。台湾共荣社区将构建乡村共同体作为推行“农村再生计划”的核心,通过培根教育、社会组织建设、社区共治共管、开放合作等,着力培育共同体价值认同、紧密共同体利益联结、重构共同体内生秩序。内地乡村在参考共荣社区培育共同体实践经验的同时,更需充分发挥党的基层组织和村民自治组织的作用,激发村民的集体认同和发展共识,以农民合作社为平台创新利益联结机制,打造共治共享新模式,促进形成集精神、利益、治理于一体的新型乡村共同体,为推进乡村全面振兴提供强大内生发展动力。

接收台湾地区过程中美国军人艾文思侵占黄金案钩沉

抗战胜利后,协助接收台湾地区的美军联络组中校艾文思以职务之便侵占了属于中国的黄金。中方发现后提出引渡艾文思来华受审,为美方所拒绝。中方研判在当时的法律框架下由美方审理更为有利,同意移交美国审理此案。在美国法庭审理过程中,中方积极协助担任公诉人的检察官提供证据,但艾文思巧妙利用美国的陪审制度漏洞而逃脱惩罚。在国民党政权即将崩溃的背景之下,中方通过外交渠道重启审判的努力也无疾而终。本文运用档案资料揭示美国军人侵占中国黄金案件的经过、在美国法庭审理进程及结局,钩沉此一历史事件的真相。

清初闽台客家交往的历史印记:武平均庆寺《台湾募款碑记》解读

武平均庆寺出土的清雍正十一年《台湾募款碑记》是一份相当难得的两岸交往史料。通过对碑记的解读,可以较完整揭示这块碑记的基本内容和史料价值。从统计数据看,雍正年间参与武平均庆寺建造佛楼的台湾地区善信共有691人,总共捐银182.87两,至少涉及62姓。根据其他文献的记载,这些捐助者主要居住在当时台湾地区的凤山县下淡水溪流域以至台南、彰化等地,大都属于中下层劳动者,有的人还充当义民或兵丁。他们的原乡主要在武平、上杭、永定三县。春去冬回,经常往来于两岸,因此有些人在碑记镌刻时还临时增加了捐款。这些难得的历史信息对于深入了解清朝初年汀州客家人在台湾地区的生存状态,以及闽台客家的交往互动都有重要意义。碑刻还存在一些值得进一步思考的问题,有待今后继续探讨。

中国台湾地区护理岗位进阶管理现状及启示

论台湾地区行政区划变迁的本质——兼论“一国两制”台湾方案的行政区划设计

“台独”分裂势力不仅企图完成法理上“中华民国就是台湾”的构建,还试图以台湾地区行政区划调整建构“国家形态”,推进事实“台独”。通过对台湾地区行政区划变迁历史,尤其是第4次“宪政改革”后实行的“精省”工程,以及“地方制度法”颁布和后续修改过程进行梳理,发现台湾当局行政区划调整的本质在于完成台湾“国家形态”的构建。这种行政区划调整本身又影响着各政党的政治权力分配,进而产生相应的政治博弈,使台湾地区近些年的历次行政区划调整均被政治斗争所裹挟。统一后,应对台湾地区行政区划进行准确定位,以明确的原则和制度统筹规划未来台湾地区行政区划变动。这将是“一国两制”台湾方案需要解决的重大命题。

档案文献所呈现的清前期在台湾地区设立土司之议

康熙二十二年(1683年)至乾隆九年(1744年),清朝统一台湾地区后的六十余年间,闽台官员先后五次提出仿照施行于西南民族地区的土司制度,在台湾地区“番族社会”设立土司,其中康熙朝两次,雍正朝两次,乾隆朝一次。前三次均为“私议”,第四次为南澳镇总兵许良彬的奏请,虽直达“天听”,但均未纳入清政府决策程序加以讨论。乾隆九年,福建布政使高山奏请在台湾地区“熟番”中设立土司,则经过户部议准、乾隆帝允行,再到闽浙总督马尔泰等提出反对并获乾隆帝支持的反复,前后历时近一年,最终被否决,相关讨论由此画上句号,此后再无人提及在台设立土司之事。本文拟通过档案文献厘清这一历史过程,并从雍正朝西南边疆实施大规模改土归流后土司制度的发展变化,结合同时期川西北“番族社会”设立“流职土司”情形,审视高山奏议所具有的积极意义和特殊历史价值。
