不良廠商情節重大判定之研究—植基於政府電子採購網系統
Authors: 賴怡君 賴怡君 , Yi-Chun Lai 王世景
Published: November 2024

為確保採購品質及保障機關權益，政府採購法設立廠商停權機制，以避免違法或重大違約屬實之不良廠商參標；另於部分條款增設「情節重大」之裁量要件，以符合比例原則，惟並無明確作業規範恐造成實際執行時之裁量困擾。

為瞭解申訴會之裁定標準，本研究彙整「情節重大」之停權爭議判決案例，分析行主管機關申訴會之判決取向。在透過數據統計後，發現國軍採購涉停權爭議之案件以財物性質購案比例為重，與整體案件統計數據相反，且顯示國軍辦理之採購案件，若涉及情節重大進入申訴會流程，其審議結果多對國軍不利。

故希藉此研究整理相關裁定標準，以提供機關初步判斷之參據，除保障機關權益，亦能降低非必要之爭訟發生。

Published: November 2024

The adoption of microservices architecture has revolutionized software development, enabling organizations to achieve greater flexibility, scalability, and resilience. This review explores the design and implementation of a microservices architecture model to enhance software delivery, ensure business continuity, and improve operational efficiency. Unlike traditional monolithic systems, microservices break down applications into smaller, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This architectural shift accelerates release cycles, optimizes resource utilization, and allows organizations to respond rapidly to changing business needs. The proposed model leverages key design principles, such as domain-driven design, API-first development, and containerization using Docker and Kubernetes. By implementing microservices, organizations can achieve continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD) with automated testing and monitoring, enabling frequent and reliable software updates. The architecture also integrates robust fault tolerance mechanisms, including circuit breakers and service retries, to ensure resilience and high availability, thus supporting business continuity even during system failures. In addition, the review addresses strategies for optimizing operational efficiency through resource management, autoscaling, and cloud-native technologies, resulting in cost savings and improved performance. Real-world case studies are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of microservices in achieving faster time-to-market, enhanced scalability, and reduced operational overhead. The review concludes by discussing emerging trends, such as serverless microservices, AI-driven optimization, and the integration of edge computing, which are set to further advance the capabilities of microservices architectures. This study provides a comprehensive blueprint for enterprises seeking to modernize their software infrastructure, improve agility, and ensure long-term business sustainability.

Microgreens are easy to produce due to their small space requirements, short growing period, low nutrient and growth medium requirements. For their production, light energy is considered one of the main factors in plant development. The aim of this study was to evaluate the development and quality of radish and arugula microgreens under different exposure times to light-emitting diode (LED) lighting. Pigment levels were determined: chlorophylls, carotenoids, flavonoids and anthocyanins. Chlorophylls a and b decreased with the increase in photoperiod and had higher levels over the days of growth. Total chlorophyll also increased as the microgreens grew. The carotenoid content was negatively affected by the increase in photoperiod in relation to the days. There was a tendency for flavonoids to accumulate as the days passed and the photoperiod increased. A reduction in anthocyanins was observed with increasing exposure time to LED light for radish microgreens, the opposite of what was observed for arugula. In general, the recommended exposure time to LED light for producing radish and arugula microgreens was 16 hours and harvesting on the 6th DAP.

O teorema de Bernoulli (deduzido da equação de trabalho-energia de Euler) é um princípio básico da mecânica dos fluidos, usado na resolução de problemas práticos ao longo de um fluxo. Com esta experiência laboratorial pretendemos analisar o comportamento de um fluido (água) ao se movimentar por uma conduta (troço de conduta) com variações de diâmetro (tubo de Venturi). Através das leituras dos manómetros (alturas piezométricas) obtemos a pressão, os caudais e os tempos de escoamento, determinando a relação existente entre a pressão estática e as diversas secções do tubo de Venturi, e comparamos os resultados obtidos experimentalmente com os esperados teoricamente. A análise dos dados experimentais foi realizada utilizando principalmente o programa Microsoft Excel. Concluímos que as alturas piezométricas variam com a pressão estática, e a altura cinética com a variação de velocidade.

Published: November 2024

Esse estudo vincula-se à linha de pesquisa em Currículo da Educação Básica do Programa de Pós-Graduação em Currículo e Gestão da Educação Básica da Universidade Federal do Pará (PPEB/UFPA). Tem por objetivo examinar a produção científica sobre a Educação para as Relações Étnico-Raciais (ERER) no contexto dos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental. Ele apresenta a sistematização e a análise de 7 teses e 26 dissertações localizadas na base de dados da Biblioteca Digital Brasileira de Teses e Dissertações, cujo recorte temporal foi o período de 2008 a 2022. No aspecto quantitativo o estudo confirmou o aumento do número de pesquisas direcionadas para a temática da ERER nos anos iniciais do Ensino Fundamental, a partir do ano de 2018. A partir da análise dos dados concluímos que: em relação aos marcos legais que respaldam a promoção da ERER, não existe total desconhecimento pela escola da Lei nº 10.639/2003, porém isso não significa a garantia da implementação da legislação no currículo, principalmente em virtude da insegurança dos/as docentes na tratativa da temática. Os estudos apontam também para a permanência de práticas pedagógicas isoladas de alguns docentes, o que indica a necessidade de mobilização da comunidade escolar para a construção de um currículo mais participativo, culturalmente engajado, que se sobreponha a um currículo apenas festivo. E por fim, no aspecto positivo, os estudos indicam diferentes possibilidades de práticas pedagógicas, adequadas para a criança de 6 a 10 anos, que podem ser utilizadas para a inclusão da ERER no contexto escolar.

Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) Performance of listed companies in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area: Towards the Development of an Enterprise Value Enhancement Program
Authors: Wang Xuelian
Published: November 2024

With the increasing global attention on environmental protection, social responsibility and corporate governance (ESG), it is particularly important to study the ESG performance of listed companies. Through the data analysis from 2018 to 2023, there was a significant positive correlation between the three dimensions of ESG performance and enterprise value, among which the improvement of environment performance, social performance and governance performance can significantly promote the growth of enterprise value. However, when enterprises are grouped according to the level of pollution, ESG performance and social performance of enterprises in polluting industries are not significantly correlated with enterprise value, while environment performance is negatively correlated with enterprise value, and governance performance is significantly positively correlated. Enterprises in non-polluting industries show a significant positive correlation between the overall and various dimensions of ESG performance and enterprise value. Based on this, this research study proposed an enterprise value enhancement program for listed companies in the Greater Bay Area, aiming to comprehensively improve ESG performance and enhance enterprise competitiveness and market value through multi-dimensional measures.

Authors: Gao Shuyu
Published: November 2024

Since China's accession to the WTO opened the door to global trade, the total export volume of China's manufacturing industry has continued to grow, and in 2023, China's manufacturing export volume ranks first in the world. However, in recent years, China's land, raw materials and labor costs have been rising, and foreign investment policy barriers have increased, making China's manufacturing industry face many challenges. Relying on the "quantity" alone to boost foreign trade is obviously not realistic, and improving the "quality" of export products has become a new foreign trade growth point. At the same time, digital finance, which is deeply integrated with digital technology and inclusive finance, has developed rapidly in China and achieved good practical results. Compared with traditional finance, digital finance has greatly improved the coverage and availability of financial services, and provided sufficient funds and technologies for all social strata with high efficiency and low cost. It provides a strong support for the improvement of the technical complexity of manufacturing exports, and makes a positive contribution to promoting the steady improvement of the status of China's manufacturing industry in the global value chain. To sum up, it is of great significance to study the impact of the development of digital finance on the technological complexity of manufacturing export and cultivate export competitive advantage.

Car crash tests are universally acknowledged for their critical role in assessing the passive safety performance of vehicles, given their straightforward and compelling evidence. Despite their effectiveness, traditional physical crash tests are notorious for their lengthy setup times and high costs. The evolution of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) technology, complemented by the improved precision of FEA dummies, has paved the way for evaluating passive safety through computational simulations. In the domain of virtual testing, benchmarking is essential for validating the accuracy of simulation outcomes. Among the pivotal benchmarking metrics, the congruence of dummy limb and head trajectories emerges as a dependable measure of the FEA model’s accuracy. This alignment is especially significant, as the head is recognized as one of the most vulnerable areas during a crash.

This study selects Phoenix Mountain in Dinghu, Zhaoqing, Guangdong, known as a "world-renowned longevity town," as the case study area and delves into tourists' soundscape experiences and explores the manifestations of situational perception within these scenes, in which a measurement system for soundscape situational perception was constructed and validated. Furthermore, the study analyzes the intrinsic relationship between various dimensions of situational perception and overall soundscape satisfaction. The research finds that soundscape situational perception consists of four dimensions, namely "relaxation," "association," "tranquility," and "aesthetic appeal", among which only "association" and "aesthetic appeal" significantly impact overall soundscape satisfaction, indicating that while people may not elevate their emotional responses to relaxation and tranquility, they do experience positive emotions and attitudes through quiet and natural soundscape, which significantly enhance overall satisfaction with the soundscape. This study guides forestry workers to focus more on the emotional value of forest soundscapes.

Authors: Wang Xu
Published: November 2024

Most current society of granary temperature and humidity detection work experience or use personal judgment and manual control stage, because human experience is not accuracy, so can not accurate to test the temperature humidity in the granary and many times to collect more artificial experience control efficiency is low, the granary administrator is uneven, prone to uncertainty, and then cause grain storage and mildew. Aiming at the above problems, this paper gives a grain warehouse temperature and humidity monitoring system based on single chip microcomputer. The system mainly consists of single chip microcomputer, temperature and humidity sensor, display module and alarm module. The temperature and humidity sensor detects the temperature and humidity inside the granary in real time, and sends the temperature and humidity data to the SCM through a single bus. After processing the data, the temperature and humidity data are sent to LCD1602 for display. When the temperature and humidity exceed the preset upper and lower limits, the system will give a voice alarm. The experimental results show that the temperature deviation of the system is ± 1 ° and the humidity deviation is ± 3%, which basically meets the expected design requirements.

How Digital Product Designers Can Adapt to a Changing Future to Create both Meaningful, Humanitarian Work and Stay Competitive in the Market
Authors: Sun Stella
Published: November 2024

Abstract: In an ever-evolving digital landscape, digital product designers must navigate the tension between staying competitive in the market and creating meaningful, humanitarian work. Through a comparison between literature by leading academic voices and online accounts from current practitioners, insights into past and present patterns are gained to inform potential future trajectories of the budding and evolving profession of digital product design. The results show that digital product designers can adapt to short-term future (defined as roughly 5 years into the future) challenges by investing in skill specialization while preparing for the long-term future (defined as roughly 20 years into the future) by enlarging the scope of their services to take on a more advisory role. Analysis of the gathered data also shows that these designers greatest long-term value is their ability to be humanitarian voices and advisors for social good. By integrating both short-term skill specializations and long-term investment into social responsibility, digital product designers can remain relevant and contribute to ethical and sustainable practices in the digital age.
The Semiotic Interpretation of Leaves of Grass: The Sea Image in Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking
Authors: Han Jiayu
Published: November 2024

Abstract: Walt Whitman has mentioned the image of the sea many times in Leaves of Grass, and the sea has complex meanings in his writing. Out of the Cradle Endlessly Rocking is a distinctive poem that links the story of two subjects in an operatic form. The sea is the key link between the elements, therefore, the image of the ocean in this poem is particularly worthy of further exploration. This study focuses on the relationship between symbols and the elements in the system from the perspective of semiotics. In this poem, the sea, as a symbol, interacts with the two elements of the birds and the child. From this point of view, it can be found that the sea in this poem is different from the generalization of the sea by previous researchers. It symbolizes the power of nature, including its two sides of kindness and cruelty.
