Since China adopted reform and open policy in 1978, intensive land use pattern changes have taken place at different scales with the rapid economic growth and fast urbanization, resulting in complex impacts on the regional eco-environmental security. Based on some case studies in Shenzhen, Beijing and the grassland and farming-pastoral zone of North China, three models, namely City Expansion Model in Metropolitan Area in Beijing, Basin Rainfall-runoff Model in Shenzhen, and Land Use Pattern Adjustment Model in the grassland and farming-pastoral zone of North China were used to try to demonstrate the possibility of promoting ecological security level in China by implementing the rational land use pattern adjustment.

Background:Myocardial viability assessment in revascularization of ischemic heart failure remains controversial. This study evaluated the prognostic utility of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in ischemic heart failure.Methods and Results:This study retrospectively analyzed subjects with ischemic heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35%, who underwent CMR at a single center in 2004–2014 before undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or optimal medical therapy (OMT). Analyses were stratified by treatment. Myocardial segments were deemed non-viable if LGE exceeded 50% wall thickness. Overall and anterior viability were assessed. Outcomes were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular (CV) mortality and major adverse CV events. Among 165 subjects (mean (±SD) age 57.5±8.5 years, 152 males), 79 underwent CABG and 86 received OMT. A greater number of non-viable segments was significantly associated with higher all-cause and CV mortality in the CABG group (adjusted hazard ratios 1.17 [95% confidence interval {CI} 1.01–1.37; P=0.04] and 1.25 [95% CI 1.01–1.56; P=0.045], respectively), but not in the OMT (P>0.05) group. Anterior wall viability did not affect outcomes.Conclusions:The extent of myocardial viability assessed by LGE appeared to identify patients with a differential survival benefit from CABG in this retrospective, small cohort study. These findings raise interesting hypotheses that need to be validated in larger prospective studies.

Ambient ionization allows mass spectrometry analysis directly on the sample surface under atmospheric pressure with almost zero sample pretreatment. Since the development of desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) in 2004, many other ambient ionization techniques were developed. Due to their simplicity and low operation cost, rapid and on-site clinical mass spectrometry analysis becomes real. In this review, we will highlight some of the most widely used ambient ionization mass spectrometry approaches and their applications in clinical study.

Many countries are facing the aging problem caused by the growth of the elderly population. Nursing home (NH) is a common solution to long-term care for the elderly. This paper develops a simulator to model elder behavior in an NH, which considers public areas where elders interact and imitates their general, group, and special activities. Elders have their preferences to decide activities taken by them. The simulator takes account of the movement of elders and abnormal events. Based on the simulator, two seeking methods are proposed for caregivers to search lost elders efficiently, which helps them fast find out elders who may incur accidents.

[Purpose] This study investigated whether the toe-spread-out exercise affects the hallux valgus angle, the cross-sectional area of the abductor hallucis muscle, and the hallux valgus angle during active abduction. [Subjects and Methods] Twenty-four subjects with hallux valgus were randomly assigned to orthosis and orthosis plus toe-spread-out exercise groups. The orthosis group wore the orthosis for 8 weeks, while the orthosis plus toe-spread-out group also performed the toe-spread-out exercise. The hallux valgus angle, the cross-sectional area of the abductor hallucis muscle, and the hallux valgus angle during active abduction were measured initially and after 8 weeks by radiography and ultrasonography. [Results] While there were no significant changes in the three parameters in the orthosis group, there were significant differences in the orthosis plus toe-spread-out exercise group after 8 weeks. In addition there were significant differences in the three measures between the two groups. [Conclusion] The toe-spread-out exercise reduces the hallux valgus angle and hallux valgus angle during active abduction, and increases the cross-sectional area of the abductor hallucis muscle. The toe-spread-out exercise is recommended for patients with mild to moderate hallux valgus.

We applied tracer transport simulations using Taiwan vector vorticity equation cloud-resolving model (TaiwanVVM) to evaluate the effects of the local circulation associated with the lee vortex and the planetary boundary layer development on the transport and accumulation of the pollutants on a diurnal time scale in central Taiwan. The wind directions of crucial synoptic northeast monsoon are idealized as the initial conditions of the simulations to examine the impact of the lee vortex on the pollutants transport. The primary local non-traffic emission sources are taken as the tracer emission sites so that the experiment results could be a good proxy of the realistic scenarios. With the local circulation over complex topography being resolved explicitly, the impact of the boundary layer development on the tracer transport of the Puli basin is discussed. The simulation results clarify the contribution of the sea breeze and the lee vortex to the tracer transport in central Taiwan. We conclude that high tracer concentration at Puli at night is due to the tracer being trapped by the thinning of the mixed layer depth in the evening. The sensitivity of the local tracer transport to the change of the synoptic wind direction shows that under northeasterly due east (due north) environment, the pollutant transports from the southern source (northern source) of central Taiwan are most likely to induce high concentration in Puli at night. This is the first study to distinguish the contribution of the sea breeze and the lee vortex in pollutants transport in Taiwan. The results obtained from idealized experiments provide the possible mechanism of pollutants transport, which could be taken as an insight to interpret the observations and guide the design of field experiment to further establish the fundamental principles of the pollution transports in central Taiwan.

The Goddard Convective-Stratiform Heating (CSH) algorithm has been used to retrieve latent heating (LH) associated with clouds and cloud systems in support of the Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission (TRMM) and Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission. The CSH algorithm requires the use of a cloud-resolving model (CRM) to simulate LH profiles to build look-up tables. This paper describes the current V6 CSH and its differences/similarities versus the previous V5 CSH. Long-term CRM simulations are conducted to identify the impact of CRM resolution and the convective-stratiform separation method on LH structure/profiles. The TRMM and GPM Combined radar-radiometer algorithm derived surface rain rates and their associated precipitation properties are the input to the CSH algorithm. CSH V6 retrieved regional LH profiles in the tropics and subtropics display the classic signatures of heating in the convective region and heating over cooling in the stratiform region. Since there is no direct measurement of LH structure, the performance of the CSH V6 algorithm is examined by comparing its vertically-integrated heating (or equivalent surface rain rate) against the surface rain rate derived from the TRMM/GPM Combined algorithm. The CSH three-month and zonal mean equivalent surface rain rates are in good agreement with the Combined rain rates over the ITCZ region; the agreement is best over ocean. CSH three-month and zonal mean equivalent surface rain rates are larger than the Combined rain rates over land in both the tropics and sub-tropics. CSH three-month mean equivalent surface rain rates also have local differences with the Combined rain rates that can be smoothed by area averaging to larger horizontal resolutions (from the CSH standard grid of 0.25° × 0.25° to 0.5° × 0.5° or 1.0° × 1.0°). CSH equivalent surface rain rates have more light rain rates but less larger rates compared to the GPM Combined surface rain rates.

<p>With urgent demand of elderly care in Taiwan, family as major care provider has confronted with various challenges in the process of social changes. This study intends to explore attitudes toward elderly parental support by focusing on the relative influence of individual resources, cultural norms and family care demand. Drawing from the Taiwan Social Change Survey, parental support is indicated by "living arrangement" and "financial support" which is further delineated by "from parent's perspective" versus "from children's perspective." We first present the trend of changing attitudes on parental support from 1991 to 2016. A consistent picture shows that parental autonomy in living arrangement and in living expenses has been a preferred type from the parent's perspective, while dependence on children, especially on sons, is considered a better choice from the children's viewpoints. The impact of filial norm is suspected to affect children's stand and thus produces the opposing patterns. Multivariate analyses point out cultural norms having the most salient effects, followed by individual resources and much less by care demand at home. Filial piety contributes to the expected attitudes on co-residence between generations and financial provision to parents from both perspectives. Future studies need to examine the emerging change on gender norms in elderly parental support.</p>

本研究は朝の連続テレビ小説(朝ドラ)の女性表象及びその社会的意義を検証したものである。研究範囲となる50年間を5つの時期に分け、テクスト分析を主な研究方法とし、作品の特徴・傾向を分析した結果は以下となる。朝ドラは最初から女の一代記ではなかったこと、全盛期の朝ドラは戦時のジェンダー的構造を、映像を通し、視聴者に再体験させる役割があることと、女性の自立、家庭と仕事の両立が可能な条件は「女性職」、明治大正昭和というテーマに限られていることが指摘できる。本研究は「女性のジャンル」の下位概念から、メディアでの女性文化に関する分析を試みた。

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of ankle taping and the combined effect of ankle taping and exercise on ankle stabilization under four different conditions (pre-taped, taped, walking on the treadmill, removal of tape) in drop landing from a 40 cm height. The subjects consisted of 14 healthy adult (four male, ten female) volunteers with ages ranging from 22-28 years. Preamplified EMG electrodes were attached to the soleus, tibialis anterior, vastus medialis, and biceps femoris. EMG and force plate data were collected at 500 Hz. While standing on one leg, subjects hopped from a 40 cm height onto a force plate. The ankle of the right leg was then taped followed by a repeat of the hopping task, walking on a treadmill, and a second repetition of the hopping task. The hopping task was again repeated following the removal of the tape. Significant increases occurred in vertical ground reaction forces for the taped conditions compared with those in pretaped and untaped conditions. In the taped conditions, the soleus displayed a significant decrease in mean iEMG from impact to peak vertical ground reaction force (p<0.05). Results suggest that taping can provide enough mechanical support to limit ankle motion even after 30 minutes of walking on the treadmill. Additionally, diminished soleus iEMG activity may be related to an increase in the ground reaction forces upon landing from a jump.

Using special data from the field program of “Impact of Typhoons on the Ocean in the Pacific” (2010) and an ensemble Kalman filter-based vortex initialization method, this study explores the impact of the Taiwan terrain on the uncertainty in forecasting track, intensity and rainfall of Typhoon Fanapi (2010) based on ensemble simulations. The results show that the presence of Taiwan topography leads to rapid growths of the simulation uncertainty in track and intensity during the landfall period, in particular at the earlier landfall period. The fast moving ensemble members show an earlier southward track deflection as well as the weakening of intensity, resulting in a sudden increase of standard deviation in track and intensity. During the period of offshore departure from Taiwan, our analysis suggests that the latitudinal location of the long-lasting and elongated rainband to the south of tropical cyclone (TC) center has a strong dependence on the latitude of the TC center. In addition, the rainfall uncertainty in southern Taiwan is dominated by the uncertainty of simulated TC rainband, and the latitude of TC track can be regarded as a good predictor of the rainband's location at departure time. It is also found that the rainband develop farther to the south as the topography is elevated. Considering the fact that the rainband impinging the high mountains in the southern Central Mountain Range generates the greatest accumulated rainfall, positions where the rainband associated circulation and its interaction with topography appear to offer an explanation on the uncertainty of the simulated rainfall.

[Purpose] Limited literature has investigated the relationships between acceleration-based gait characteristics and kinematic information from motion analysis systems in gait analysis. The purpose of this study is to determine whether acceleration-based gait characteristics were associated with gait characteristics by motion analysis systems in patients with stroke. [Participants and Methods] Seventeen patients with stroke walked along a 10-m-long walkway at their comfortable speed. Trunk acceleration was measured with an accelerometer. Several reflective markers over bony landmarks on the lower extremities were used to capture movements. We evaluated the correlations of variables calculated between the trunk accelerometers and the motion analysis system. [Results] Walking speed was positively correlated with harmonic ratios along the anteroposterior axis and stride regularity along the vertical and anteroposterior axes. Harmonic ratios were associated with the stance phase percent on the unaffected side. Stride regularity was associated with the stance phase percent on both sides. Smaller interstride variability was associated with smaller peak ankle plantarflexion during both phases and greater peak ankle dorsiflexion during swing phase. Stride regularity is positively associated with maximal knee flexion during swing phase. [Conclusion] Relationships with spatiotemporal and joint kinematic parameters from the motion analysis system support the potential use of accelerometers.

Typhoon Nepartak was a category 5 tropical cyclone of 2016 and had significant societal impacts. It went through a rapid intensification (RI), with an increase of maximum wind speed of 51 m s-1 and a decrease of minimum sea level pressure of 74 hPa in 42 h. The real-time forecast from the Coupled Ocean/Atmosphere Mesoscale Prediction System – Tropical Cyclone (COAMPS-TC), starting from 1200 UTC 3 July, predicted the track and intensity reasonably well for Super Typhoon Nepartak and captured the storm’s RI process. Positive interactions among primary and secondary circulations, surface enthalpy fluxes, and mid-level convective heating are demonstrated to be critical for the RI. The storm structure variations seen from the simulated satellite infrared brightness temperature during RI bear considerable resemblance to the Himawari-8 satellite images, although the forecast inner core is too broad, presumably due to the relatively coarse resolution (5 km) used for the real-time forecasts at the time.

Background: The association between induced abortion and birth control methods (including oral contraceptives and intrauterine devices) and breast cancer may vary among countries, due to the different usage and frequency of birth control methods and induced abortion among countries. A better understanding of this association may help in determining safer birth control methods for Chinese women.Methods: A case-control study was conducted with a total of 794 cases and 805 controls. Standardized questionnaires were used to collect information on demographic characteristics, exposure to induced abortion, birth control methods, and other risk factors for breast cancer. Multivariate logistic regression was conducted to explore the association between birth control methods and breast cancer.Results: Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that having a history of medical abortions, ≥3 surgical abortions, or both medical and surgical abortions was associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in post-menopausal women (odds ratio [OR] 2.48; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.14–5.40). Pre-menopausal women who had used intra-uterine devices (IUDs) for more than 20 years tended to have a lower breast cancer risk than other age-matched pre-menopausal women (OR 0.41; 95% CI, 0.25–0.68). Both pre-menopausal and post-menopausal women who had <20 years exposure to IUDs and those who had used two or more birth control methods (with the exception of women who used IUDs for more than 20 years) tended to have much higher breast cancer risk.Conclusion: The relationship between induced abortion and birth control methods and breast cancer was complex, though being exposed to induced abortion and two or more birth control methods in one’s lifetime appeared to be risk factors for breast cancer in Chinese women.

Background:This study examined treatment patterns, possible statin intolerance, and incidence of cardiovascular events (CVEs) in 2 cohorts of patients with high cardiovascular risk (i.e., patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease [ASCVD] and patients with diabetes mellitus).Methods and Results:A retrospective cohort study examined adults initiating either a statin or ezetimibe from 1 January 2006 to 31 May 2014 in the Japan Medical Data Center database. The first observed statin or ezetimibe prescription defined the index date. Patients had ≥12 months of pre- and post-index date plan enrollment. Two high-risk cohorts, the ASCVD cohort and diabetes cohort, were created based on diagnoses observed during the 12 months’ pre-index date. Treatment patterns, possible statin intolerance, and incidence of CVEs were reported. In the ASCVD cohort (n=5,302), 32.9% discontinued therapy, 7.7% switched to a non-index statin or non-statin lipid-lowering therapy, and 11.2% augmented index therapy in the 12 months’ post-index date; only 0.3% were using high-intensity statins and 10% had possible statin intolerance. Also, 8.1% had any new CVE during the follow-up period. Treatment patterns and incidence of CVEs among the diabetes cohort were similar to those of the ASCVD cohort.Conclusions:High cardiovascular risk Japanese patients had frequent treatment modifications, although use of high-intensity statin doses was rare. These patterns may indicate that alternative therapies for lipid lowering are needed.

By applying a novel active layer of titanium zinc oxide (TiZO), we have successfully fabricated fully transparent thin-film transistors (TFTs) with a bottom gate structure fabricated on a flexible plastic substrate at low temperatures. The effects of various oxygen partial pressures during channel deposition were studied to improve the device performance. We found that the oxygen partial pressure during channel deposition has a significant impact on the performance of TiZO TFTs, and that the TFT developed under 10% oxygen partial pressure exhibits superior performance with a low threshold voltage (V<inf>th</inf>) of 2.37 V, a high saturation mobility (μ<inf>sat</inf>) of 125.4 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹, a steep subthreshold swing (SS) of 195 mV/decade and a high I<inf>on</inf>/I<inf>off</inf>ratio of 3.05 × 10⁸. These results suggest that TiZO thin films are promising for high-performance fully transparent flexible TFTs and displays.
