Authors: Torres - Gamarra Giancarlo
Published: March 2023

La instalación correcta de un analizador bioquímico depende del cumplimiento de las especificaciones del fabricante. El fabricante del analizador bioquímico Vitros 4600 (OrthoClinicalDiagnostics), que cuantifica analitos en base al método de química seca, garantiza un buen desempeño analítico de este hasta los 2438 msnm. Si la instalación se realiza a mayores altitudes, el laboratorio clínico debe aplicar protocolos experimentales que demuestren que el desempeño del analizador, tiene validez clínica. Objetivo: Evaluar el desempeño analítico de la química seca en un laboratorio clínico ubicado a gran altitud (Huancayo-Perú, 3259 msnm). Metodología: Estudio aplicativo y longitudinal. Se aplicó el protocolo EP15-A2 de CLSI como referencia de procedimientos estandarizados para calcular el SD y CV (error aleatorio) así como el sesgo (error sistemático) para dos niveles de concentración de algunos analitos de rutina tales como glucosa, úrea, creatinina, triglicéridos y AST, utilizando controles de tercera opinión de Bio Rad. A partir de los datos obtenidos se calculó la métrica sigma como indicador de desempeño analítico para cada analito, utilizando criterios de error total aceptable de CLIA. Resultados: Se obtuvieron métricas sigma, superiores a 4 para todos los analitos, encontrando desempeños: bueno para úrea, muy bueno para glucosa y excelente para creatinina, AST y triglicéridos. Conclusión: Se demostró que la química seca tiene un desempeño analítico aceptable, a pesar de ser utilizada en una altitud superior a las especificaciones del fabricante.

Published: March 2023

La COVID-19 clínicamente se presenta con síntomas gripales y dificultad respiratoria con o sin hipoxia que puede progresar en severidad, asociado a la presencia de variantes de SARS-CoV-2 que serían responsables de reinfecciones heterólogas. Este caso muestra una secuencia de cuatro infecciones en el mismo paciente con intervalos de tiempo entre cada infección de alrededor de 5 meses coincidente con los periodos en que se presentaron cuatro olas de la infección en Bolivia. La enfermedad por COVID-19, durante el tercer episodio, fue más severa que las anteriores, con compromiso pulmonar, incremento de la Proteína C Reactiva y daño hepático. Se asume que tal situación responde a una infección heteróloga con una variante diferente a las dos anteriores y la posibilidad de desarrollo del fenómeno ADE.

Published: March 2023

Unicycle is a robot that imitates a performance of a circus artist on a one-wheeled self-balancing bicycle. This research assumes that this model is equivalent to two separated popular models: a two-wheeled self-balancing robot and reaction wheeled inverted pendulum. On each model, we build a PD controller. Thence, we present a structure of PD controllers to balance this model at the equilibrium point. We also build an experimental unicycle robot for the laboratory. Our method is proven to work well based on both simulation and experiment.
PREDICTION OF PLASTIC-TYPE FOR SORTING SYSTEM USING DECISION TREE MODEL
Authors: Astuti Astuti , Costa Anthony , Prakoso Akbar Teguh , Yani Irsyadi , Resti Yulia
Published: March 2023

Plastic is the most widely used inorganic material globally, but its hundred-year disintegration time can harm the environment. Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET/PETE), High-Density Polyethylene (HDPE), and Polypropylene are all commonly used plastics that have the potential to become waste (PP). An essential first step in the recycling process is sorting out plastic waste. A low-cost automated plastic sorting system can be developed by using digital image data in the red, green, and blue (RGB) color space as the dataset and predicting the type using learning datasets. This paper proposes the Decision Tree model to predict the three plastic-type sorting systems based on discretizing predictor variables into two and three categories. The resampling method of k-fold cross-validation with ten folds for less biased. Discretization of the predictor variables into three categories informs that the proposed decision tree model has higher performance compared to the two categories with an accuracy of 81.93 %, a recall-micro of 72.89 %, a recall-macro of 72.30 %, a specificity-micro of 86.45%, and the specificity-macro of 86.51%, respectively. The micro is determined by the number of decisions made for each object. In comparison, the macro is calculated based on the average decision made by each class.

Published: March 2023

Chain–submerged scrapper conveyor bottom ash handling in the petrochemical industry has failed several times and was repaired with AISI 420, which can only operate for three months. AISI 420 is recommended in applications requiring moderate corrosion resistance, high hardness, excellent wear resistance, and good edge retention in cutting surfaces. The initial cracks and fractures occur in the pin-link joint hole, which causes chain failure. Some evaluation has been performed for both as-received and failed links. It can be concluded that chain link failure occurs due to fatigue failure with low-stress levels. Microstructure observation, XRD, and hardness properties showed no significant difference in both as-received and failed links. Since the operating conditions of the chain are in a corrosive environment, experiencing dynamic loading and working temperatures between 23 ºC and 60 ºC, the selection of HSL materials such as AISI 4140 should be considered.
ANALYSIS OF BENDING MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF WELDING JOINTS WITH THE ADDITION OF DIAMOND AND CIRCULAR PLATES
Authors: Prayogo Gatot , Budiyanto Muhammad Arif , Perkasa Mustasyar
Published: March 2023

The design and analysis of welded joints are very useful for the safety of steel-based structures. The effect of welded joints meeting at one point on the resulting stress is a critical factor in constructing steel joints. The main objective of this research is to analyze the mechanical performance and microstructure of the welding process on diamond and circular plate joints. The analysis was carried out through experiments and finite element simulations to find out how much influence the addition of a diamond plate and circular plate had on the plate connection. The method used is to analyze the strength, hardness, and micro and macrostructure testing to determine the strength and structural changes of the metal after welding. The results of the test are then used to create an inhomogeneous model of weld joint, then the model is applied to the FEA software to be analyzed by the bending test simulation. The experimentally bending testing was carried out to examine bending performance of the test objects. From the simulation and experimental results, it is found that the shape of a circular plate measuring a diameter of 60 mm with a thickness of 6 mm is appropriate for a flat plate joint, and the flat-diamond plate measuring 60x60 mm with a thickness of 6 mm is proper for application to un-flat (cornered) plate joints. The structural integrity of a flat plate joint with a circular plate is greater than that of a diamond plate.

Published: March 2023

Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are an efficient defense against network attacks as well as host attacks as they allow network/host administrators to detect any policy violations. However, traditional IDS are vulnerable and unreliable for new malicious and genuine attacks. In other case, it is also inefficient to analyze large amount of data such as possibility logs. Furthermore, for typical OS, there are a lot of false positives and false negatives. There are some techniques to increase the quality and result of IDS where data mining is one of technique that is important to mining the information that useful from a large amount of data which noisy and random. The purpose of this study is to combine three technique of data mining to reduce overhead and to improve efficiency in intrusion detection system (IDS). The combination of clustering (Hierarchical) and two categories (C5, CHAID) is proposed in this study. The designed IDS is evaluated against the KDD'99 standard Data set (Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining), which is used to evaluate the efficacy of intrusion detection systems. The suggested system can detect intrusions and categorize them into four categories: probe, DoS, U2R (User to Root), and R2L (Remote to Local). The good performance of IDS in case of accuracy and efficiency was the result of this study.
Technical note: colab_zirc_dims: a Google Colab-compatible toolset for automated and semi-automated measurement of mineral grains in laser ablation–inductively coupled plasma–mass spectrometry images using deep learning models
Authors: Sitar Michael C. , Leary Ryan J.
Published: March 2023

Abstract. Collecting grain measurements for large detrital zircon age datasets is a
time-consuming task, but a growing number of studies suggest such data are
essential to understanding the complex roles of grain size and morphology in
grain transport and as indicators for grain provenance. We developed the
colab_zirc_dims Python package to automate
deep-learning-based segmentation and measurement of mineral grains from
scaled images captured during laser ablation at facilities that use Chromium
targeting software. The colab_zirc_dims
package is implemented in a collection of highly interactive Jupyter
notebooks that can be run either on a local computer or installation-free
via Google Colab. These notebooks also provide additional functionalities
for dataset preparation and for semi-automated grain segmentation and
measurement using a simple graphical user interface. Our automated grain
measurement algorithm approaches human measurement accuracy when applied to
a manually measured n=5004 detrital zircon dataset. Errors and
uncertainty related to variable grain exposure necessitate semi-automated
measurement for production of publication-quality measurements, but we
estimate that our semi-automated grain segmentation workflow will enable
users to collect grain measurement datasets for large (n≥5000)
applicable image datasets in under a day of work. We hope that the
colab_zirc_dims toolset allows more
researchers to augment their detrital geochronology datasets with grain
measurements.
Exploring the role of snow metamorphism on the isotopic composition of the surface snow at EastGRIP

Published: March 2023

Abstract. Stable water isotopes from polar ice cores are invaluable high-resolution climate proxy records.
Recent studies have aimed to improve our understanding of how the climate signal is stored in the stable water isotope record by addressing the influence of post-depositional processes on the isotopic composition of surface snow.
In this study, the relationship between surface snow metamorphism and water isotopes during precipitation-free periods is explored using measurements of snow-specific surface area (SSA).
Continuous daily SSA measurements from the East Greenland Ice Core Project site (EastGRIP)
during the summer seasons of 2017, 2018 and 2019 are used to develop an empirical decay model to describe events of rapid decrease in SSA linked to snow metamorphism.
We find that SSA decay during precipitation-free periods at the EastGRIP site is best described by the exponential equation SSA(t)=(SSA0-22)⋅e-αt+22, and has a dependency on wind speed.
The relationship between surface snow SSA and snow isotopic composition is primarily explored using empirical orthogonal function analysis. A coherence between SSA and deuterium excess is apparent during 2017 and 2019, suggesting that processes driving change in SSA also influence snow deuterium excess. By contrast, 2018 was characterised by a covariance between SSA and δ18O highlighting the inter-annual variability in surface regimes. Moreover, we observed changes in isotopic composition consistent with fractionation effects associated with sublimation and vapour diffusion during periods of rapid decrease in SSA.
Our findings support recent studies which provide evidence of isotopic fractionation during sublimation, and show that snow deuterium excess is modified during snow metamorphism.
Anxiety of Textual Incarceration and Resistance to Self-Interpellation: Samuel Beckett’s Juggling with the Modes of Self-Representation
Authors: Shehzad Umar
Published: March 2023

The present study proposes that Samuel Beckett's famous reluctance to engage in the textualization of his personal life may be rooted in his apprehension towards the potential constriction of his self in the medium of language. This apprehension may have been further exacerbated by the fear of his life becoming subsumed by the written word. The notion that "we are what we say we are" postulates that one's identity is shaped by their own self-expression. In the context of biography, this notion can be extended to "we are what is said we are." Explaining his concept of interpellation, Louis Althusser, posits that various ideological apparatuses create a set of assumptions, attitudes, and desires that constitute an individual's self-identity. I argue that biography being an ideological apparatus of its own kind might do the same. Beckett's reluctance to engage in the textualization of his personal life may be a result of his desire to avoid the possibility of his self-identity being interpellated or defined by such texts. This may also explain his attempts to eliminate recognizable markers of his life from his work and his assertion of an absolute disconnection between his life and his work.

Published: March 2023

Most patients diagnosed with lung cancer will receive some form of anti-cancer drug therapy over the course of their illness. Not all patients will benefit from these treatments, which are often associated with significant toxicity. This research investigated potential biomarkers that could predict which patients are more or less likely to benefit from these therapies. Based on this work, it has been shown that CDCA3, PLK1, hSSB1 and BANF1 have potential applications as biomarkers and warrant further investigation.
Estimating the overall modulus/CBR of geosynthetic-reinforced extremely weak subgrades
Authors:   , Pathirana Ashan Chathuranga

The increasing land demand challenges engineers to construct infrastructures in and on very soft ground conditions (subgrades). Therefore, it is imperative to improve the modulus and bearing capacity of these soft subgrades to allow construction machinery. This study introduced a geocomposite-embedded capping layer (gravel layer) on the soft subgrade to increase its modulus and bearing capacity by about 15 per cent and 50 per cent, respectively.
The Seven Deadly Sins: Anthony Hecht’s Emblem Poems
Authors: Valli Elena
Published: March 2023

Many poets writing after World War II felt a sense of diffidence towards the great ideals of history and religion. They offer a satiric interpretation of their time, and their work often perverts the typological reading of history illustrated in the Bible by opposing the promises of a second coming by Christ with the horrors of the war and the Holocaust, suggesting that the concept of “sacrifice” has no redemptive value. Anthony Hecht, an American post-war formalist, expresses this message through an ekphrastic medium, specifically emblems, inspired by mediaeval culture and Renaissance poetry. One of his early works, The Seven Deadly Sins, in collaboration with the engraver Leonard Baskin, presents a modern collection of emblem poems featuring the figure of Christ, which like the emblematic form can be seen as “word made flesh”. Through their combinations of icons and words, the emblems become the perfect form to assess the dialectical opposition between God and man, body and soul, past and present.
Iconos del arte egipcio: coronas y tocados de la realeza femenina en la iconografía de Amarna
Authors: Del Barrio Madruga Belén
Published: March 2023

El arte de Amarna presenta unas características y particularidades inéditas en la cultura egipcia. La reina Nefertiti desempeña un papel fundamental en la iconografía amarniense. Ninguna otra reina aparece representada con tanta frecuencia y es apreciable cómo su figura evoluciona a lo largo del reinado de Akhenaton, hasta romper ciertos cánones históricamente establecidos para la realeza egipcia. 
Uno de los atributos de la realeza más significativo y emblemático es la corona, ornamento de dioses y reyes. La revisión de la iconografía, siguiendo una línea temporal y el análisis de las distintas coronas que porta la reina a lo largo del periodo de Amarna, constituyen un indicador de la importancia que va adquiriendo el personaje, así como una línea de investigación para tratar de determinar el poder que ostenta en cada uno de esos momentos.

Crescite et multiplicamini: análisis iconográfico de la iluminación del Fuero Juzgo (Madrid, Biblioteca Nacional, Vitr. 17-10)
Authors: Arriola Jiménez María
Published: March 2023

El inusual programa iconográfico del Fuero Juzgo conservado en la Biblioteca Nacional de España está conformado por dos iluminaciones sin parangón. La primera representa la Bendición del matrimonio de Adán y Eva; la segunda es un arbor consanguinitatis que arranca de Jesé. En el presente estudio nos adentrarnos en su significado rastreando en la patrística y en la tradición iconográfica la ligazón que une ambos elementos –Jesé y árbol de consanguinidad– y, a su vez, estos con la bendición de la unión de los primeros padres. Todo ello nos permite reconocer la insistencia de su artífice en el carácter sacramental del matrimonio, el vínculo de las imágenes con la liturgia nupcial contemporánea, así como explicar el sentido de dichas imágenes religiosas en este manuscrito jurídico.
Inquisición vs. arte: identificación de una imagen no tolerada por el Santo Oficio español en el siglo XVI
Authors: Carretero Calvo Rebeca
Published: March 2023

La pormenorizada descripción de una pintura prohibida por el Santo Oficio acusada de incurrir en herejía luterana recogida en un acuerdo del Consejo de la Inquisición española en 1571 ha permitido identificar su representación a través de un grabado de Harmen Jansz. Muller (h. 1538-1617) titulado El rico y el pobre ante un crucifijo. A partir de ello, el presente artículo estudia tanto la imagen de la pintura censurada gracias al documento inquisitorial como la estampa localizada, transcribiendo sus inscripciones y analizando su iconografía. Asimismo, se indaga en el origen de la obra contextualizándola en la producción de grabados de los Países Bajos y en su tensa relación con la España de Felipe II dominada por la lucha contra el protestantismo. Por último, se plantean las razones que pudieron llevar a los inquisidores a expurgar esta imagen.

Weak Type Estimate of Singular Integral Operators on Variable Weak Herz-Type Hardy Spaces
Authors: Boulares Hamza Brahim , Drihem Douadi , Hebbache Wafa
Published: March 2023

This paper is concerned with the boundedness properties of singular integral operators on variable weak Herz spaces and variable weak Herz-type Hardy spaces. Allowing our parameters to vary from point to point will raise extra difficulties, which, in general, are overcome by imposing regularity assumptions on these exponents, either at the origin or at infinity. Our results cover the classical results on weak Herz-type Hardy spaces with fixed exponents.

She will also cover special considerations for particular groups of people, including those living with frailty, and multiple long term conditions. The importance of health inequalities in relation to physical activity will also be explored. Finally, she will cover practical resources and services that are available to support dialysis patients to be more active.

Background: Growth and finally body height are influenced by various intrinsic and extrinsic factors. During the last decades the well documented secular trend of increase in body height slowed down. Overweight and obesity rates increased worldwide from childhood onwards. An association between rising obesity rates and the slowdown of the secular trend in body height might be assumed.

Aims: This study focuses on patterns of associations between childhood weight status, socioenvironmental factors, and adolescent body height. It is hypothesized that higher weight during childhood enhances developmental tempo and linear growth, and results in higher body height during adolescence.

Sample and methods: In a longitudinal study, the body height, body weight, and Body mass index (BMI) of 1506 randomly selected Viennese children were documented at the age of six, ten, and fifteen years. Weight status according to sex and age and age-specific BMI percentiles were determined. The association between weight status and body height was analyzed. A history of migration and the socioenvironmental background, based on specific characteristics of the residential area, have been included in the analysis.

Results: A marked positive association between weight status during childhood, male sex, socioenvironmental factor, the background of migration, and body height at the age of six and ten years could be documented. At the age of fifteen years, however, only male sex and BMI at age ten years were significantly positively associated with height.

Conclusion: High weight or obesity during childhood enhances growth during childhood, but no significant associations between weight status and height were observable during adolescence.

Introduction: Corneal injuries and disorders are among the commonest clinical scenarios that are encountered in the ophthalmology clinical practice. Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) surgeries count for the most frequent efficient surgical management of diseased corneas. The latter are usually sent as button specimens for histopathology examination for further describing the pattern of the corneal disorders. Aims and Objectives: The aims of this study are to discuss the rate of Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) surgeries in SMC in 6 years interval (2016-2022) along with to determine the most common histopathological and microbiological diagnosis of corneal specimens from Penetrating Keratoplasty (PKP) and to study the clinical spectrum with age and sex distribution of corneal disorders in Bahrain alongside correlation with the comorbidities and the pathological diagnosis. Patients and Methods: It is a retrospective analysis of one-hundred and one histopathology reports of corneal button specimens at Salmaniya medical complex during the last 6 years (1-1-2016 till 31-3-2022). Medical records, surgical notes and histopathology reports of patients were retrieved from ISEHA system. Statistical analysis was done using Microsoft Excel 2019. Results: Corneal scarring (44%) was the most common pathological diagnosis, followed by Keratoconus (KC) (15%), acute keratitis (14%), degeneration (9%), chronic keratitis with fibrosis (5%), decompensated cornea and failed graft (5%), pseudophakic bullous keratopathy (3%) and herpetic keratitis (3%). There was Bahraini nationality (98%) and male preponderance (66%). The most common age group affected was 70–79 years with the median age of 51.5 year. Conclusion: Our study shows the importance of determining the most common histological diagnoses of corneal button specimens along with the correlation of the latter with the age, gender, surgical complications and systemic comorbidities. Knowing the exact pathology of the diseased cornea would assist in providing the proper post-operative management and to avoid possible elements that could promote complications.
A systematic review of the Families Chrysolampidae, Cleonymidae, Diparidae, Cerocephalidae, Chalcedectidae, Ceidae and Herbertiidae
Authors: Carlos Henrique Marchiori
Published: March 2023

Despite their small size, the Chalcidoidea play a significant role in the ecosystem. Most species are parasitoids of other insects, attacking the egg or larval stage of their host, although many other life cycles are known. These hosts can be found in at least 12 different insect orders, including Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), Diptera (true flies), Coleoptera (beetles), Hemiptera (true insects) and other Hymenoptera, as well as two orders of Arachnida and even a family of Nematoda. In addition to the parasitoids, there are some species with the phytophagous habit, the larvae feed inside seeds, stems and galls. This work aims to examine the parasitoids of Chrysolampidae, Cleonymidae, Diparidae, Cerocephalidae, Chalcedectidae, Ceidae and Herbertiidae (Hymenoptera: Chalcidoidea). The present work used the reference of bibliographical research, understood as the act of inquiring and seeking information on a given subject, through a survey carried out in national and foreign databases, with the objective of detecting what there is of consensus or controversy. in the state of the art.

關稅配額與價格動態反應之結構性變動分析：以大蒜進口為例
Authors: 楊明憲 楊明憲 , Min-Hsien Yang 楊奕農 , Yi-Nung Yang 吳朝欽
Published: March 2023

大蒜為重要的民生產業，然因國內生產成本高於進口價格，故採取關稅配額方式，以兼顧保護國內生產與支持市場價格。由於關稅配額存在著進口高低關稅之特性，所以國內外價差對於國內價格在進口配額內外之反應時間與程度可能有所不同，本文即以門檻迴歸模型檢定結構轉變與臨界值，並估計配額內外進口的反應落遲時間及對國內價格的衝擊程度。結果顯示結構轉變的臨界值為3,768.12公噸，與進口配額相當接近。在前一期的累計進口量小於或高於臨界值時，國內大蒜價格將受到前5期或前2期國內外價差之影響，且不論前期累計進口量是否超過臨界值，若前期國內價格高於國外價格時，即國內外價差為正時，將推升國內大蒜的價格，也反映我國大蒜市場本質為超額需求的特性。
由於存在著結構轉變與前期國內外正負價差的影響不同，本文建議觀察最近月份的累計進口量是否達到臨界值，以作為政府採取緊急或鼓勵進口之決定參考，並建議可適度提高配額，以平穩大蒜價格。

 

Garlic is a crucial crop in Taiwan and a tariff-rate quota (TRQ) has been implemented to protect domestic production and market price under Taiwan’s WTO agreement, as the cost of the domestic output is higher than the importing price. The TRQ regime imposes lower tariffs within import quotas and higher tariffs outside of them.
This study uses threshold regression models to evidence structural changes in the dynamics of garlic price differentials in Taiwan under the TRQ regime. The estimated structural change threshold for the garlic market was 3,768.12 tons, which is close to the regulated tariff quota. This study also reveals that the domestic price of garlic is affected by previous price differentials for up to 5 months if accumulated imports are less than the TRQ and for only 2 months if accumulated imports are greater than the TRQ. The results indicate a tendency for the domestic garlic price to increase when previous price differentials are positive, reflecting excess demand in the garlic market.
Due to structural changes and varying impacts of lagged positive and negative price differentials in previous months, this study suggests monitoring the accumulation of imports in recent months to determine whether it reaches the critical value to maintain the stability of garlic prices under the current TRQ regime. In the future, increasing the TRQ level could also help stabilize Taiwan’s domestic garlic market.

 
台灣利率政策與所得分配
Authors: 鄭漢亮 鄭漢亮
Published: March 2023

所得分配不均一直以來為重要研究課題，而利率政策與所得分配關聯之研究方興未艾。文獻發現，利率上升可能會擴大所得分配不均，主要是因為低所得家戶容易受到利率上升的影響，產生收入異質性效應。截至目前為止，國內仍欠缺相關文獻。本研究使用工具變數局部投射模型，探討升息與家戶所得分配不均之關聯。實證結果與多數文獻發現一致，因低所得家戶多從事低階工作，在升息的緊縮環境之下，將使低所得家戶薪資及可支配所得減損大於高所得家戶，而使所得差距略擴大。然而，該影響是短暫的，並在2季內逐漸消退。另利用央行理事會會議資訊萃取利率政策衝擊，以局部投射模型進行衝擊反應分析，實證結果發現，前述結論亦成立，具穩健性。

 

Income inequality is a major problem, and the relationship between interest rates and income inequality is an extensively studied topic. Literature findings indicate that an increase in interest rates may increase income inequality; this occurs mainly because low-income households are more vulnerable than other households to the effects of interest rate increases. However, in Taiwan, few studies have explored this topic. Thus, the present study applies methods based on local projection instrumental variable regressions to investigate the relationship between interest rate increases and household income inequality. The empirical results are consistent with previous findings. This study revealed that individuals from low-income households are mostly engaged in low-level jobs and that when interest rates increase and economic conditions worsen, their disposable income is reduced to a greater extent relative to that of high-income households, leading to a slightly larger income gap. However, this phenomenon subsides within two quarters. In addition, this study used public information on board meetings to clarify the effects of Taiwan’s interest rate policy. The empirical results obtained through local projections verify the validity and robustness of the aforementioned explanation.

Published: March 2023

產品設計階段將影響產品生命週期80% 的環境衝擊，因此，缺乏環境完整性思維是現行固體廢棄物管理策略的限制。本研究建立產品生命週期收費制度，探討產品生命週期環境完整性與產品永續性誘因設計問題，以及分析綠色投資短視問題。本研究發現如下：(1) 最終產品處置之差別費率相較於固定費率，可提高廠商對產品環境化設計的誘因；(2) 以排放量為費基，將較以廢棄物量為費基，具有較高的生態化設計投資誘因；(3) 差別費率下，較高污染密集廠商或產業愈具有清潔生產的誘因；(4) 提高消費者綠色產品偏好，是激勵綠色生產的重要驅動力；(5) 建立產品永續性等級，創造綠色產品外部效益內部化，是因應廠商投資短視行為的重要誘因設計。本研究進一步以國內資料，驗證相關的學理結果。

 

Up to 80% of Product’s environmental impact are determined at design phase, therefore, lacking of environmental integrity thinking is the key shortage of current solid waste management. This paper introduces Product Life Cycle Emission Fee Model to describe how the integrated product policy of life cycle production to encourage the product sustainable design incentive. Besides, we also presents the obstacles of green investment due to the myopic behavior. The key finds are as follows: (1) Adopting a discrimination rate for final waste disposal that would be more effective in encouraging environmentally friendly designing; (2) Higher emission allowance price will facilitate firm to produce much green products; (3) Higher emission intensive of the final disposal wastes will stimulate more productive investment as well as environmentally friendly capital investment, leaving abatement capital stock unchanged; (4) Promoting consumer’s preference of green products is the driving force to facilitate green production of the firm; (5) Internalizing the external benefit of green product is a key strategy to overcome the investment myopic behavior for encouraging environmental design investment. This study further validates the theoretical results with domestic data.

 
東漢宦官階層新論—— 以《隸釋》《隸續》宦者碑為中心
Authors: 吳孟灝 吳孟灝
Published: March 2023

《隷釋》、《隷續》所著錄的宦者碑使我們能夠看到東漢中後期宦官社會生活的更多歷史面相。以漢碑材料為基礎的研究表明，政治上的清、濁對立，並沒有影響宦官與「清流」人士在其他場合的社會交往，他們甚至擁有與士大夫相差無幾的社會關係網絡。宦官階層以營造家族門第，擴張家族仕宦為主要手段，試圖比肩東漢大族，完成自身的豪族化。但隨著時間的推移，面對士大夫所主導的東漢政治文化，宦官階層的價值取向逐漸為其所同化。

 

The stelae of eunuchs in Lishi and Lixu let us see more historical aspects of their social life in the Eastern Han Dynasty. This research is based on these Han stelae and argues that social communication between eunuchs and scholar-bureaucrats was not affected by political opposition. In fact, the eunuchs had social networks comparable to that of the scholar-bureaucrats. The eunuch class sought power by improving their family status and joining the bureaucracy. Over time, however, the values of the eunuch class were assimilated into the political culture of the scholar-bureaucrats.
