(Taiwan) Taiwan Health and Welfare Report 2016 Adhering to the Whole-Person Care Value, Achieving Holistic Health and Social Welfare Policies. Ministry of Health and Welfare, R.O.C.(Taiwan) Foreword The Ministry of Health and Welfare's responsibilities include health planning and promotion, prevention and control of disease, food safety, drug management, social insurance, and welfare, relief and protective services. Our mandate also includes biotechnology R&D, international health cooperation, and diverse other areas affecting public health and well-being far beyond Taiwan. To explain our agency's health and social administration initiatives, we publish this annual report outlining our major policies and their concrete results. Some important trends continue to develop. Taiwan has officially been an "aging society" since 1993, and the government has been building better living environments and a long-term care system for senior citizens. This system focuses on economic security, health care and maintenance, and living care. June 2015 saw the enactment of the Long-term Care Services Act, which will be implemented beginning in 2017. Our agency continues to formulate the Act's sub-statutes and ancillary measures, and to implement the plan's second phase. This will coordinate provision of LTC resources, strengthen worker training, and make LTC more widely available and more closely integrated with communities. We established an LTC Development Fund to foster community- based care models that can optimally serve Taiwan's aging society. We are expanding our efforts to address violence by providing various protective services. The Legislative Yuan approved Sexual Assault Prevention Law revisions that require an expert in a relevant field to be present when children and mentally handicapped persons are interviewed by police or judicial authorities. The Domestic Violence Prevention Act has also been revised so children who witness incidents of domestic violence can be included in protection orders. The duration of regular protection orders has been extended, and threatening behavior by non-household members is now covered by the Act. We are promoting a revised Child and Youth Sexual Transaction Prevention Act, including renaming this as the Statute to Prevent Childhood Sexual Exploitation. This reflects the revision's wider scope, as it expands prohibitions against using children in sexual performances, making children accompany bar patrons, and involving children in sexual escort services. Regulatory authorities are encouraged to work with parents and children, and penalties have been added and made more severe. The Formosa Fun Coast explosion occurred on June 27, 2015, when flammable starch-based color powder exploded and burned 499 people in an open-air "color party." On average, these patients had burns over 41% of their skin; 41 had burns over 80% or more of their skin. Our Ministry quickly mobilized hospitals in the Taipei, Taoyuan and Keelung areas to provide first-line emergency services; 53 more hospitals in 12 counties and cities provided follow-up treatment for this unprecedented number of burn patients. Committed to supporting these explosion victims regardless of cost, the Ministry's dedicated project team scrambled to arrange funding for their care. Daily meetings were held about allocation of medical resources, supplies and equipment, and about funding medical expenses and providing psychological support services. Central and local government health and welfare agencies worked together with care providers, and the overall high standard of medical care saved many young lives. Taiwan's smooth handling of this disaster won widespread praise from the international community with regard to coordinated disaster response by medical and social welfare service providers. In the area of contagious disease prevention, we continue to promote epidemic monitoring and surveys, disease prevention efforts and research, and preventive inoculation programs. The Communicable Disease Control Act was amended to expand infection control work in services for older adults, nursing homes, long-term care institutions, residential child care facilities, correctional facilities, etc. To expand infant immunization and care, in 2015 Pneumococcal Conjugate Vaccine was added to the list of required vaccinations. To promote food safety, our Ministry is implementing stronger restaurant sanitation standards, including food products vendor registration. We require the food industry to implement compulsory testing, and we have promoted food product traceability systems. We work closely with local public health bureaus on food product testing, monitoring and auditing. The year 2015 also saw the launch of the #1919 National Food Safety Hotline, through which businesses and citizens can submit petitions or complaints, report questionable behavior, and request advice promptly. Also in 2015, the Pharmaceutical Affairs Act was revised to establish a traceability mechanism and a notification mechanism for supply shortages. Other changes include assistive measures to make pharmaceuticals-related data easier to read, and a case-by-case approval mechanism for emergency pharmaceutical needs. Pharmaceuticals registration criteria now address sourcing to strengthen quality management. Looking back over 2015, our Ministry faced many challenges. We continue to pursue the goals of effective teamwork and coordinated planning for health and welfare services that meet citizens' changing needs. I hope this report helps citizens understand the past year's issues and gains -- and earnestly hope readers will forward comments and criticism that can help us better meet Taiwan's wellness needs.

  • An Expert-Based Assessment Model for Evaluating Habitat Suitability of Pond-Breeding Amphibians
    sustainability Article An Expert-Based Assessment Model for Evaluating Habitat Suitability of Pond-Breeding Amphibians Shin-Ruoh Juang 1, Szu-Hung Chen 2 and Chen-Fa Wu 1,* 1 Department of Horticulture, National Chung Hsing University, Taichung City 402, Taiwan; [email protected] 2 Department of Ecosystem Science & Management, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX 77843, USA; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel./Fax: +886-4-2285-9125 Academic Editor: Iain Gordon Received: 8 November 2016; Accepted: 10 February 2017; Published: 16 February 2017 Abstract: Farm ponds are important habitats for amphibians, birds, and other wildlife. In Taiwan, artificial ponds were originally created on farmlands for irrigation purposes and the needs of the domestic water supply. Although pond creation is a typical farming practice, it also provides habitats for pond-breeding amphibians. Thus, it is essential to understand the current status of habitats and their vulnerability regarding urgent conservation needs for target species. Günther’s frog (Hylarana guentheri), a pond-breeding amphibian, has a high sensitivity towards surrounding environmental changes, and can be used as an indicator species to assess habitat suitability. The purpose of this study is to establish a systematic framework to assess the habitat suitability of pond-breeding amphibians by using Günther’s frog as a pilot-study species. First, we collected frog survey data from Chiayi, Taiwan, from winter 2013 to spring 2015, and investigated the present status of the environmental conditions around the ponds. Next, expert questionnaires and the fuzzy Delphi method were applied to establish the hierarchical evaluation criteria regarding the habitat suitability assessment.

This dissertation may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. ii Supervisory Committee The History and Politics of Taiwan’s February 28 Incident, 1947- 2008 by Yen-Kuang Kuo BA, National Taiwan Univeristy, Taiwan, 1991 BA, University of Victoria, 2007 MA, University of Victoria, 2009 Supervisory Committee Dr. Zhongping Chen, Supervisor Department of History Dr. Gregory Blue, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. John Price, Departmental Member Department of History Dr. Andrew Marton, Outside Member Department of Pacific and Asian Studies iii Abstract Taiwan’s February 28 Incident happened in 1947 as a set of popular protests against the postwar policies of the Nationalist Party, and it then sparked militant actions and political struggles of Taiwanese but ended with military suppression and political persecution by the Nanjing government. The Nationalist Party first defined the Incident as a rebellion by pro-Japanese forces and communist saboteurs. As the enemy of the Nationalist Party in China’s Civil War (1946-1949), the Chinese Communist Party initially interpreted the Incident as a Taiwanese fight for political autonomy in the party’s wartime propaganda, and then reinterpreted the event as an anti-Nationalist uprising under its own leadership.

  • Creating Community Gardens Northwest Indian College Cooperative Extension Elise Krohn, Traditional Plants Educator
    Creating Community Gardens Northwest Indian College Cooperative Extension Elise Krohn, Traditional plants educator Community gardens are potential places for healing. In a time when families have limited resources including time and money, community gardens can provide nutritious food and medicine. A garden is also a crossroads where diverse people come together to interact and connect. Elders can share their stories and wisdom, while youth can share their energy and enthusiasm. A garden has potential to foster community healing by bringing isolated people together over a common purpose. For many, gardening is a great way to relieve stress and to reconnect with nature. If you are planning a community garden remember that it does not have to be big or complex to be successful. Starting simple and slowly working up to something elaborate is usually wise. A garden is sustainable when it is supported by a number of people in the community, not just one or two people. This will probably be the greatest challenge to keeping the garden alive. A garden can be creatively planned around what will be most fun and functional. Garden designs are often based on themes including medicine, cooking, food, and art. If you have many weavers in your community, you might want to grow basketry plants. If people are interested in making medicine, you may choose to plant medicinal herbs. If cooking is a big interest, a kitchen garden can be deliciously useful. Some of the best gardens mix themes, so you can plant vegetables, flowers and medicinal herbs together. Creativity can be far more useful than money when it comes to starting a garden.

  • Atmospheric PM2.5 and Polychlorinated Dibenzo-P-Dioxins and Dibenzofurans in Taiwan
    Aerosol and Air Quality Research, 18: 762–779, 2018 Copyright © Taiwan Association for Aerosol Research ISSN: 1680-8584 print / 2071-1409 online doi: 10.4209/aaqr.2018.02.0050 Atmospheric PM2.5 and Polychlorinated Dibenzo-p-dioxins and Dibenzofurans in Taiwan Yen-Yi Lee 1, Lin-Chi Wang2*, Jinning Zhu 3**, Jhong-Lin Wu4***, Kuan-Lin Lee1 1 Department of Environmental Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan 2 Department of Civil Engineering and Geomatics, Cheng Shiu University, Kaohsiung 83347, Taiwan 3 School of Resources and Environmental Engineering, Hefei University of Technology, Hefei 246011, China 4 Sustainable Environment Research Laboratories, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 70101, Taiwan ABSTRACT In this study, the atmospheric PM2.5, increases/decreases of the PM2.5, the PM2.5/PM10 ratio, total PCDD/Fs-TEQ concentrations, PM2.5-bound total PCDD/Fs-TEQ content, and PCDD/F gas-particle partition in Taiwan were investigated for the period 2013 to 2017. In Taiwan, the annual average PM2.5 concentrations were found to be 28.9, 24.1, 21.4, 20.2, –3 and 19.9 µg m in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2017, respectively, which indicated that the annual variations in PM2.5 levels were decreasing during the study period. The average increases (+)/decreases (–) of PM2.5 concentrations were –16.7%, –11.1%, –5.75%, and –1.73% from 2013 to 2014, from 2014 to 2015, from 2015 to 2016, and from 2016 to 2017, respectively. Based to the relationship between PM10 values and total PCDD/F concentrations obtained from previous studies, we estimated that in 2017, the annual average total PCDD/Fs-TEQ concentrations ranged between 0.0148 –3 –3 (Lienchiang County) and 0.0573 pg WHO2005-TEQ m (Keelung City), and averaged 0.0296 pg WHO2005-TEQ m , while –1 the PM2.5-bound total PCDD/Fs-TEQ content ranged from 0.302 (Kaohsiung City) to 0.911 ng WHO2005-TEQ g –1 (Keelung City), at an average of 0.572 ng WHO2005-TEQ g .

    King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO) Ascot Racecourse Background Information for the 65th Running Saturday, July 25, 2015 Winners of the Investec Derby going on to the King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO) Unbeaten Golden Horn, whose victories this year include the Investec Derby and the Coral-Eclipse, will try to become the 14th Derby winner to go on to success in Ascot’s midsummer highlight, the Group One King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes (Sponsored by QIPCO), in the same year and the first since Galileo in 2001. Britain's premier all-aged 12-furlong contest, worth a boosted £1.215 million this year, takes place at 3.50pm on Saturday, July 25. Golden Horn extended his perfect record to five races on July 4 in the 10-furlong Group One Coral- Eclipse at Sandown Park, beating older opponents for the first time in great style. The three-year-old Cape Cross colt, owned by breeder Anthony Oppenheimer and trained by John Gosden in Newmarket, captured Britain's premier Classic, the Investec Derby, over 12 furlongs at Epsom Downs impressively on June 6 after being supplemented following a runaway Betfred Dante Stakes success at York in May. If successful at Ascot on July 25, Golden Horn would also become the fourth horse capture the Derby, Eclipse and King George in the same year. ËËË Three horses have completed the Derby/Eclipse/King George treble in the same year - Nashwan (1989), Mill Reef (1971) and Tulyar (1952). ËËË The 2001 King George VI & Queen Elizabeth Stakes saw Galileo become the first Derby winner at Epsom Downs to win the Ascot contest since Lammtarra in 1995.
