2014 ANNUAL REPORT 2014 ANNUAL REPORT 5 Cost in 2014 Was Maintained at Just 0.37% CONTENTS 04 Words from the Chairman 10 Honors and Achievements 12 SKFH Overview 22 2014 Operations Review 36 2015 Business Plan 50 Fulfilling Corporate Social Responsibility 60 Financial Highlights Words from the Chairman In 2014, low inflation, low interest rates, and low growth became the new normal in the global economy. Developed countries faced changing demographics, shrinking labor forces, and slowing wealth creation, while emerging economies, pressured by tighter liquidity in the United States, faced capital flight and economic restructuring. In Taiwan, an aging population, rising rates of dementia and disability, and declining birthrates have heightened care problems and market demand. In order to further meet the protection needs of the people of Taiwan, as well as respond to passage of the draft Long-term Care Service Act in 2014, Shin Kong Financial Holding (SKFH) is actively developing care policies and has completed the roll out of a full line of long-term care (LTC), quasi LTC and disability policies as the iron triangle of its LTC product offering. True to the metaphor that "a bicycle must always move forward to maintain balance," SKFH will seize important trends in 2015, such as the Internet of Things and Big Data. The company will integrate "life insurance, banking, hospital, health management and security" channels to provide wealth management, psychological, health, and security related services and share with customers the values of "discovering health and wealth and lighting up a LOHAS life." The company will also actively invest in and apply innovations in mobile banking, online policy application and third-party payment technologies to increase the value of its financial channels and services and drive growth. In 2015, SKFH will actualize its forward-looking business philosophy through specific strategies designed to continue creating value for shareholders. Improving Efficiency, Adjusting Earnings Structure In 2014, SKFH continued a strategy to steadily grow its core businesses. Consolidated total assets reached NT$2.8 trillion, up 10.4% from 2013; shareholders' equity increased to NT$110.85 billion, up 9.8% from the year before; and book value per share reached NT$11.27. Consolidated after-tax profit for the year was stable, at NT$7.92 billion. Shin Kong Life Insurance (SKL) grew its core business in 2014, increasing total premium to NT$210.21 billion, up 23.3% from 2013, while first year premium (FYP) grew 60.0% to NT$90.19 billion in the same period. The company's product strategy in 2014 focused on foreign currency traditional policies, with sales amounting to NT$29.24 billion, or 32.4% of total FYP. Foreign currency policies helped SKL to avoid foreign exchange hedging costs and were exempt from overseas investment ceiling, helping SKL to achieve stable interest spreads with proper asset-liability match and increasing recurring income. Moreover, in response to social change, the company continued to pay attention to the problem of aging demographics and LTC policies with the debut of LTC, quasi LTC and disability policies. These three types of policy contributed NT$1.82 billion to sales in 2014, boosting health insurance FYP to NT$3.50 billion, up 47.7% from 2013 and securing a market share of 12.5%. In 2015, SKL will continue to optimize insurance policy packages, promote sales of whole life and health policies, and reduce cost of liability by over 10 bps.

  • City Image Analysis of Western Taipei Historic and Modern?
    International review for spatial planning and sustainable development, Vol.7 No.4 (2019), 18-36 ISSN: 2187-3666 (online) DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.14246/irspsd.7.4_18 Copyright@SPSD Press from 2010, SPSD Press, Kanazawa City Image Analysis of Western Taipei Historic and Modern? Liang-Gui Yu1* 1 Graduate Institute of Building and Planning, National Taiwan University * Corresponding Author, Email: [email protected] Received: February 15, 2018; Accepted: January 10, 2019 Key words: Iconology, City Image, Urban Regeneration Abstract: Taipei city is the capital of Taiwan, and the city government has applied to host several international events since 2000. Meanwhile, mayors have proposed the slogan “axis retroflexion” indicating the urban regeneration of old town areas. In July 2016, the city government and the National Geographic Channel started a documentary project “Inside: Reinventing Taipei” that cost 5 million NTD for the propaganda of the upcoming Taipei Universiade 2017. The narratives in the documentary indicate the interweaving of historical and modern city images. In this research, the development history of western Taipei is reviewed, and several official and non-official advertisements, movies, music videos, landscape architecture, events, and policy plans are chosen as texts to analyse the representation of the city images of western Taipei (Zhongzheng and Wanhua districts) under an iconological approach. To understand how those city images were produced, various aspects of urban politics and power are explored through this research. It is found that specific buildings and places, such as Chiang Kai- Shek Memorial Hall, the North Gate, the Red House Theatre, Longshan temple, and the Ximending shopping area, appeared in those texts frequently, epitomizing the development history of Western Taipei and policies across different periods.

The Japanese acquired Taiwan in 1895 after the First Sino-Japanese War and made Taipei the island’s capital. The Republic of China took over the island in 1945 after Japan’s defeat in World War II. Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek declared Taipei the provisional capital of the Republic of China in December 1949 after Kuomintang (KMT) was defeated by Communists during the Chinese Civil War.

  • Müh 100 Mühendisliğe Giriş
    CHAPTER 1 THE ENGINEER 1.1. INTRODUCTION The root of the word “engineer” derives from “engine” and “ingenious” both of which come from the Latin root “ingenerate” meaning “to create”. “Mühendis” in Turkish derives from “hendese” which means “geometry” and thus mühendis is the one who makes dimensional calculations. “Hendesehane” means “School of Engineering”. Engineers are individuals who combine knowledge of science, mathematics and economics to solve technical problems that confront society. Main difference between scientists and engineers is the cost analysis. Early in human history, there were no formal schools to teach engineering. Early engineers were those, “Alaylı” in Turkish, who had a gift for manipulating the physical world to achieve a practical goal. Often, it would be learned through apprenticeship with experienced practitioners. Current engineers are educated, “Okullu” in Turkish, in mathematics, science and economics. According to ABET (Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology, USA) engineers must demonstrate that they have: (a) an ability to apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering, (b) an ability to design and conduct experiments, as well as to analyze and interpret data, (c) an ability to design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs, (d) an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams, (e) an ability to identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems, (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, (g) an ability to communicate effectively, (h) the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context, (i) a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning, (j) a knowledge of contemporary issues, (k) an ability to use the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice.

    TAIWAN– December 2020 CONTENTS TAIPEI 101'S LAND VALUE REMAINS HIGHEST IN THE CITY .................................................................................................... 1 ______________________________________________________________________________ Taipei 101's land value remains highest in the city Taipei 101, an iconic skyscraper in the capital city, remains the commercial property with the highest land value in the city for the eighth consecutive year, the municipal Department of Land Administration said Thursday. In the department's 2020 land valuation assessment report, the land value of Taipei 101, the highest building in Taiwan, located in the bustling Xinyi District in the eastern part of the city, rose to NT$1.83 million (US$64,210) per square meter or NT$6.07 million per ping, up 2.11 percent from a year earlier. Over the past eight years, the land value of Taipei 101 has risen 20.86 percent, Pan Yi-ju (潘依如), head of the department's land value division, told reporters.
