Experiences of Male Indonesian Migrant Workers During the COVID-19 Pandemic to Post-Pandemic Period in Taiwan: A Phenomenological Study.

The challenges faced by male migrant workers during the pandemic have not been fully understood. This study aimed to explore the experiences of male Indonesian migrant workers during the COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan. This study used an interpretive phenomenological design. Twenty male Indonesian migrant workers in southern Taiwan were individually interviewed. Data were analyzed using reflective thematic analysis. The migrant workers had conflicting emotions during the pandemic, faced challenges during self-quarantine, lived on board ships, and experienced restrictions on social and religious activities. The workers prioritized maintaining their health to ensure that they would not be easily infected while working. COVID-19 vaccines were made available to migrant workers in Taiwan. The workers had many hopes that they would achieve a better and more prosperous life by working in Taiwan than in their home country. Although the 3-year COVID-19 period was difficult for Indonesian migrant workers in Taiwan, Taiwan's policies provided hope for them to endure the pandemic. The results have implications for Taiwan's health care system, labor development, and transcultural health care.

Assessing land resource planning for agrivoltaics development: Examining synergies approaches between government and farmers

In alignment with the global push for net zero emissions, solar energy stands out as a crucial renewable source. The International Energy Agency forecasts that by 2030, solar and wind energy will supply nearly half of the world's electricity, with solar energy growing at triple its current rate. Taiwan has set ambitious targets, aiming to achieve a solar panel capacity of 20 GW by 2025 and reaching 40–80 GW capacity as part of its goal for net zero emissions by 2050. However, this pursuit impacts limited land resources, particularly agricultural land and food security. This study delves into “Agrivoltaics,” a symbiotic solar-crop relationship, as a solution to balance energy development and agricultural needs in Taiwan. Using Taiwan as a case study, a bi-level programming model was developed, considering government subsidies and farmers' income. Challenges faced by the government in regional land planning were revealed, and recommendations for specific crop areas were made based on shading rates and land constraints. The study proposes a win-win situation, fostering cooperation between the government and farmers. Implementing solar panels on 10 %–30 % of available land can yield installation capacities from 12.87 GW to 39.27 GW, maintaining a 70 % harvest yield for crops and meeting objectives. This approach showcases the significant contribution of integrated solar energy to Taiwan's paddy field development, reducing net carbon emissions effectively.

The Influence of Servicescape and Brand Image on Customer Loyalty Mediated by Customer Satisfaction

Taiwan's design industry has established design characteristics and styles during the short period of more than 30 years of development, making Taiwan's designed products rank on the world stage. Based on the current design development direction, the analysis of the existing design organization, and the input and implementation of design by Taiwan enterprises, this research discusses the factors for the successful development of Taiwan's design industry by means of historical analysis and case comparison. The study found that in the timeline of Taiwan's design development, the focus is on industrial management innovation, design diagnosis, product development, etc., and it is supplemented by trying to increase the competitiveness of products and promoting international design. At the same time, it is actively constructing the design of each enterprise Environment, including the implementation of multiple counselling measures, the establishment of various design technical support systems, the design of intellectual property rights protection systems, and the provision of corporate subsidies, training channels, etc., plus government agencies have proper control over design policies, future design directions, and national budget resources. Development strategies such as design division and cooperation carried out by non-governmental and semi-official organizations have promoted Taiwan's design to shine in the world. The changes brought about by computer technology and the Internet to human life patterns have changed the functional positioning of the design industry. Today, after experiencing the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the business behavior models that people are familiar with are changing. In the changing situation, the traditional commercial space business model is rapidly shrinking, but human existence must be in the physical environment, and the new real-virtual experience model will definitely change the way of life. This is the creativity and challenge of this generation of design industry practitioners.

19세기 말 청 해방론(海防論)과 조선

In this article tried to interpret Qing Dynasty’s Vassal State & Frontier policy after Emperor Guang-xu ascended to the throne in the context of Maritime Defence Plan. In the 19th century, Qing Dynasty strengthened its influence on the Vassal states and the frontier lands to preserve the mainland.
 The cabinet members of the Qing Dynasty sought to preserve the mainland, Annam and other vassal countries, Taiwan and Tibet, considering the ever-changing international situation in East Asia, as well as the idea of Maritime Defence.
 In 19th-mid century, the core of Guang-xu’s Maritime Defence plan was to set Joseon, a vassal country, as “the gate of Eastern” and Taiwan as “the gate of Southern sea” to preserve the mainland of Qing. In the case of Taiwan, which is an inner land, its importance as a military hub was discussed in the Qing Dynasty, which immediately put Taiwan's development into practice. This was one of the key policies of the Maritime Defence of the Guang-xu reign.
 Antithetically, in the case of Joseon, the Qing Dynasty wanted to create conditions for Joseon to naturally be incorporated into the order of the balance[equilibrium] of power. while guiding trade and negotiations with Western countries. However, in the early 1880s, when a series of introversion broke out in Joseon, the Qing Dynasty abandoned its policy of promoting diplomacy and actively intervened.
 In addition, Joseon’s problems have changed not only in diplomatic relations but also in many areas such as naval shipbuilding, telecommunications, and boundaries. Also, as Russia came into contact with Joseon and Northeast region of the Qing Dynasty, There was a slow agitation over the Northeast Asia.

Green finance for mitigating greenhouse gases and promoting renewable energy development: Case study in Taiwan

<abstract> <p>In recent years, the tools of green finance have evolved to foster green economic growth like renewable energy and climate change mitigation. Taking a case study of Taiwan not yet reviewed in the literature, the present study aimed to conduct a preliminary analysis for exploring the amazing growth in renewable energy over the past fifteen years (2010–2023) in connection with the achievements of green finance promotion over the past five years (2018–2022). The updated database was accessed on the websites of Taiwan's competent authorities. This work was divided into the following main parts: Taiwan's carbon neutrality policy and sustainable development goals (SDGs) relevant to green finance, the regulatory promotion for green finance action plans in Taiwan, and the status of green finance measures and achievements in Taiwan. The findings supported the idea that the implications of green policies for unlocking green finance and green investment significantly enhanced a positive influence on green energy industry development in Taiwan. In this regard, it showed the amazing growth of renewable energy generation, particularly in solar photovoltaics (PV) power and offshore wind power, since 2010. These findings were similar to those in Asian countries like China and Japan. Responding to Taiwan's SDGs policy by 2030 and the net-zero emissions in 2050, aspects relevant to climate change mitigation and adaptation were investigated in order to focus on the use of green finance tools.</p> </abstract>

Prospects of Taiwan's solar energy development and policy formulation

Taiwan lacks energy stock and has been paying great attention to developing renewable energy to improve energy security and sustain economic growth. Solar energy is attractive to Taiwan's government as the recorded radiation is substantial, and a significant amount of fallow land is available for panel installation. This study investigates the potential solar energy production from Crystalline silicon (c-Si) and cadmium Telluride thin-film (CdTe) cell systems, estimates each system's capital requirement, and compares the economic and environmental benefits to explore effective investment strategy. The results show that, on average, the c-Si module could produce 10,644 GWh per year while the CdTe mode would yield a total electricity of about 9365 GWh. The useful life also plays an essential role in the investment requirement. With a 30-year useful life, the systems can reduce the annualized installation and maintenance cost to about NT$3.16 billion. In terms of offset efficiency, every MWh produced would result in at least 13.63–15.49 metric ton of carbon emission offset, and the offset value per GWh can be up to NT$5.77 million, which provide attractive economic incentives to energy suppliers. We point out that the acquisition of low-cost financing sources such as green bonds, as well as the improvement of current emission trading systems (ETS), would greatly benefit solar energy development.

Trends in age at menarche from 1943 through 1989 in Taiwan: A retrospective population-based analysis

Recent studies have demonstrated a global decline in the age at menarche. Our study aimed to determine the age at menarche of Taiwanese women born between 1943 and 1989. Data were obtained from the Taiwan Biobank. To view the trends in age at menarche, we analyzed data from 74,799 women. The mean, standard deviation, and annual percentage change in age at menarche were calculated for birth-year cohorts. The mean age at menarche of Taiwanese women born in 1943 was 14.85 years. The age at menarche decreased to 12.20 years for those born in 1989. The mean age at menarche declined by 2.65 years across the 47-year study period; hence, the reduction rate was 0.56 years per decade. This study demonstrated a downward secular trend in the age at menarche of Taiwanese women born between 1943 and 1989. This trend occurred in three stages of decline: fast (1943-1953), slow (1953-1965), and moderate (1965-1989). The age at menarche decreased by 2.65 years among Taiwanese women born in 1943 compared with those born in 1989. This decline occurred in three stages: fast (1943-1953), slow (1953-1965), and moderate (1965-1989). This significant downward secular trend in age at menarche reflects Taiwan's socioeconomic development.

Taiwan’s development of neoliberalism

This article analyzes the adoption of neoliberalism in Taiwan and its impact on financial, labor, and industrial policies. Taiwan adopted neoliberalism in the late 1970s, facing challenges in maintaining autonomy against global pressures and domestic business interests. The state-controlled market underwent a significant transformation because of the sacrifices made for various stakeholders. Taiwan's strong economic growth has been recognized globally, making it an example for other developing countries to implement neoliberal policies. This article focuses on the period after the 2008 global financial crisis, in which Taiwan implemented monetary and fiscal policies to stabilize the financial system and generate domestic demand. While supporting corporate financing and facilitating personal relationships with banks, the government aims to restore financial stability. The Taiwanese state has consistently pursued the values of neoliberalism while maintaining balance with societal-oriented policies. The government's approach to this problem has evolved, demonstrating efforts to overcome the side effects of neoliberal policies. Ultimately, Taiwan's economic development reflects the complex play of neoliberalism and its impact on various sectors in the country.

The Continuation, Reinterpretation and Reflection of Confucianism after Taiwan's Restoration

The people of Taiwan have pioneered and developed in Taiwan for 400 years with Confucianism, a Chinese national culture, as their regular proper path. Confucianism, as the mainstream of traditional Chinese culture, has carried many important responsibilities in determining the direction of Taiwan's cultural development. Confucianism in Taiwan after the Restoration has emerged as "official Confucianism" and "folk Confucianism" with different orientations of purpose. We interpret "official Confucianism" and "folk Confucianism" through historical narratives, and summarize the experience of the development of Confucian thought in Taiwan since the Restoration, as well as the dialectical imagery between it and tradition and modernization. In the process of modernizing Confucianism in Taiwan after the Restoration, a paradigm shift in research has occurred, i.e., a shift from political interpretation to a literary-historical interpretive research paradigm, and a shift from "discussing politics with history" to "talking about history with history".

EXPLORING THE TRADE RELATIONSHIP UNDER THE ASYMMETRIC INTERDEPENDENCE IN THE CROSS STRAIT

Taiwan is an island-oriented economic system’s state, its economic development depends on the expansion of international trade, while the economic and trade cooperation is becoming more and more important in the cross-strait, Taiwan's trade dependence on the mainland is high, the trade surplus is increasing year by year, but there is a statistical gap on the cross-strait economic and trade, and the real gap needs to be further analyzed in order to know the truth fact. The methodology in this study is Literature Review, it try to know the main factors affecting Taiwan's economic development. The mainland is vast in land and rich in resources and rapid economic development; However, Taiwan is small area and poor resources, and it’s economic growth is slowing down; In fact, there is indeed an asymmetry in trade relations between the cross-strait economic situation, but the degree of interdependence is different. Taiwan has a competitive advantage in high-tech industries, a good investment and financial environment, and a continuous trade surplus with the mainland, and it can also be found that Taiwan has a competitive advantage from the trade special coefficients (TSC) index, and cannot be determined by the total amount of trade completely. Although the political and economic environment is different between the two sides of the strait, those of non-governmental work such as investment, consumption, and trade cooperation has become an important key factor in the economic development between Taiwan and the Mainland China

Effects of green bonds on Taiwan's bioenergy development

Green financing has been proposed to stimulate and promote environment-friendly products such as low-carbon building and renewable energy to mitigate climate change since 2013; however, Taiwan's energy security is fragile and vulnerable to fluctuations of fossil prices. This study investigates how the promotion of green bonds benefits Taiwan's bioenergy production and emission reduction, as well as the development efficiency under various green-bond rates and volumes. We propose a price-endogenous, mathematical programming framework that incorporates the entire agricultural sector to simulate net bioenergy production, emission reduction, and overall profitability in the face of alternative bioenergy technologies and market conditions. The results show that if biopower and biofuel are eligible for low-cost bond financing, bioenergy production would be more stable. An increase in the emission trade price is favored to biopower technology, but this advantage will be partly recovered by a low borrowing rate because biofuel production will also be at a low production cost. In the face of energy price changes, we estimate that with an increase in green volume of US$0.61 to US$1.02 billion, a meaningful transition to bioenergy technology could occur.

Antecedents and consequences of brand ownership: moderating roles of social value orientation and consumer perceived ethicality in Taiwan's food industry

PurposeThis study empirically tests a brand ownership framework based on psychological ownership theory. It examines the role of participative brand development in developing brand ownership among different social value orientation (i.e. proself and prosocial). Furthermore, it examines brand ownership's effects on various food brand supportive behaviours and the moderating role of consumer perceived ethicality.Design/methodology/approachTo understand the participative brand development effect on brand ownership and brand supportive behaviours of organic food and local cultural food from the consumer perspective, primary data collected via 668 valid questionnaires tested the conceptual model using partial least squares structural equation modelling.FindingsParticipative brand development has a significant influence on brand ownership. Moreover, brand ownership is an important factor in affecting brand supportive behaviours. The negative relationship between brand ownership and positive word of mouth for those who have higher consumer perceived ethicality is significant. Moreover, social value orientation, the relationships between participative brand development and brand ownership differ significantly.Research limitations/implicationsFirst, it only focusses on the antecedents of brand ownership among different proself and prosocial groups in Taiwan. However, Taipei, as an important city in Taiwan, is a microcosm of Taiwan's food development. It can reflect the problems existing in Taiwan's current food development process from one side. Second, customer perceived ethicality was moderated into the psychological ownership model to extend it. Future studies may consider sustainable consumer behaviour (White et al., 2019) and other variables to explain the antecedents and consequences of brand ownership on the moderating role. Third, more multi-group analyses may explore the antecedents of brand ownership of more and different groups.Practical implicationsFirst, the participative brand development of proself groups (such as organic food marketers) towards brand ownership should emphasize the health and safety associated benefits of organic foods. If consumers perceive more health and safety benefits from adopting organic foods regarding their well-being needs, they will be more willing to increase their use of organic foods. Second, local cultural food marketers play a significant role in promoting processed foods, creative gourmet, rural leisure and festival events. In the current stage of local cultural food development, the more immediate consequences of pro-environmental behaviours for a given city, region or neighbourhood can make environmental actions and outcomes seem more tangible and relevant (Scannell and Gifford, 2013). Organic and local cultural food marketers should also pay attention to the change in the psychology of different group members and adjust marketing strategies appropriately.Social implicationsConsumers who are convinced that organic foods strongly adhere to the environmental and ethical principles they value may intensify their organic buying behaviour. Drawing on people's attachments to a specific place (Gifford, 2014), festival events can lead to engagement in local cultural products consumption. People may be subject to the opinions of important people, such as family members, relatives and friends. Therefore, communities could advocate for local cultural food via word of mouth and consume local cultural food daily to create a good pro-environmental atmosphere.Originality/valueThis is the first study to investigate the antecedents and consequences of brand ownership and the moderators of these relationships in the context of organic food and local cultural food.

Overview of wind power development over the two past decades (2000-2019) and its role in the Taiwan's energy transition and sustainable development goals

<abstract> In response to the international agreement on the climate change and the energy supply diversification, the Taiwan government actively promoted the use of wind power since 2000. This paper highlighted the Taiwan's wind resources, and interactively analyzed the regulatory strategies for promoting wind power and trend analysis of wind power over the two past decades (2000–2019). In the first development stage, the electricity generation by onshore wind power rapidly grew from 1.38 gigawatt-hours (GW-h) in 2000 to 1,492.7 GW-h in 2011 because of the implementations of promotional measures and official subsidies. However, its growth rate became slow due to the restrictions on available land for the onshore wind power farms. With the promulgation of the Renewable Energy Development Act in 2009, the government not only declared preferable feed-in-tariff (FIT) rates, but also announced some incentive and promotional plans, focusing on offshore wind power farms from the early 2010s. Therefore, the electricity generation by offshore wind power significantly increased from 26.7 GW-h in 2018 to 175.4 GW-h in 2019. Using the data on the electricity generation by wind power in 2019 (i.e., 1,871.3 × 10⁶ kW-h) and the average default value (i.e., 0.539 kg CO₂/kW-h), the equivalent mitigation of CO₂ emission from the wind power systems in Taiwan was thus estimated to be about one million metric tons. Based on the progressive development of wind power and other renewable resources over the past two decades, one of the sustainable development goals (SDGs) for nuclear-free homeland and 20% renewable electricity generation may be prospective in the energy transition by 2025. However, this goal has faced serious challenges because the corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has caused the delays in the Taiwanese wind power industry. </abstract>

Internationalization initiatives of Taiwan's higher education: a stepping stone to regional talent circulation or reproduction of unbalanced mobility scheme?

PurposeAs an emerging market of international education, Asian countries ambitiously launched internationalization initiatives and strategies to attract international talent. Since the 1990s, Taiwan's government has implemented various internationalization policies. Partly affected by the political forces of neighboring China, Taiwan's government launched the New Southbound Policy (NSP) as the main regional strategy in 2016. One of the aims of this strategy was to promote mutual talent mobility between Taiwan and New Southbound Policy countries (NSPC). The purpose of this study is to explore how the NSP influences the student mobility scheme in Taiwan.Design/methodology/approachThis study adopted the qualitative document analysis to investigate and compare the major Asian countries' internationalization focus and summarize Taiwan's internationalization development process and policy priorities. Moreover, a qualitative approach was adopted in order to collect data from 2005 to 2018 to examine Taiwan's student mobility scheme under the policy change.FindingsUnder the influence of the NSP after 2016, the student mobility scheme between Taiwan and NSPC could be categorized into five categories in accordance with the mobility rate. Although the nation-driven policy was considered powerful, the unbalanced flow between Taiwan and NSPC became severe.Research limitations/implicationsThe study lacked statistics on the degree level of outbound Taiwanese students going to NSPC. It could not compare the student mobility scheme between Taiwan and NSPC by degree level.Originality/valueThe research looked at the initiatives Asian countries have developed in order to raise higher education internationalization and regional status, which shed light on the national/regional approaches under the global change.

A STUDY ON THE RELATIONSHIPS AMONG PERSONALITY TRAITS, ENTREPRENEURIAL MOTIVATION AND PERFORMANCE - TAKING MICRO PHOENIX ENTREPRENEURS AS AN EXAMPLE

Small and micro enterprises, the main foundation for Taiwan's economic development, have been affected by the global financial crises and economic storm in recent years. Along with an unstable international environment, slow economic growth, rising raw material costs; external business shifts, changing population structure, imminent industrial transformation, the micro-enterprises are facing unprecedented challenges. Therefore, the government has provided a series of subsidiary arrangements, including the Mini Phoenix Entrepreneur Loan, the focus of this study.This study explores whether personality traits and entrepreneurial motivations have an impact on entrepreneurial performance. Questionnaires were distributed to qualified micro-phoenix entrepreneurs infive districts (north, central, southern, eastern, and outlying islands) and interviews were conducted. Outof 2,500 questionnaires distributed, 341 responded, with a 13.6% response rate. Correlation, regression,and cluster analyses were adopted to verify research hypotheses.The empirical results show that the personality traits of micro-Phoenix entrepreneurs are related to entrepreneurial motivation; personality traits have influence on performance; entrepreneurial motivationalso has a partial impact on entrepreneurial performance.This study is intended to increase the understanding of Phoenix lenders, clarify the factors affecting Phoenix loan entrepreneurs, and then contribute to the operation and development of micro-enterprises.

DECOMPOSITION OF GROWTH FACTORS IN HIGH-TECH INDUSTRIES AND CO2 EMISSIONS: AFTER THE WORLD FINANCIAL CRISIS IN 2008

Taiwan's economic development faces two problems, one is the imbalance of the economic structure, and the other is that the industrial structure must be upgraded. This is a problem that has existed since the 1990s, but it has not been solved for a long time. The outbreak of the world financial crisis in 2008 severely damaged the international economy and finance, and Taiwan suffered a huge economic shock. In the face of an economic predicament, Taiwan attempts to transform the unbalanced economic system through technological innovation through public investment and the updating of corporate equipment, and sets the goal of sustainable development, of which high-tech industries have become the focus of economic development. This paper takes the financial crisis as the research period, analyzes the growth of the industries and their causes through the economic growth decomposition model, and estimates the CO 2 emissions generated, which will help understand Taiwan's future economic development. The research results show that the growth of high-tech industries after the financial crisis is dominated by semiconductors and power equipment-related industries. The growth factor is innovation of input technology and the improvement of self-sufficiency. At the same time, CO 2 emissions are mainly caused by these two factors. Keywords: high-tech industries, CO 2 emissions, input technology, growth decomposition model. JEL Classifications: Q43, C6, E2, E210 DOI: https://doi.org/10.32479/ijeep.9411
