Discussion on the Transformation Strategy of the General Welfare Service Ministry of MND-The Case of Taiwan

The Army Welfare Service (AWS) has been one of the important policies promoted vigorously by the R.O.C. (Taiwan) government. With the full implementation of the Mercenary System, how to improve the quality of welfare work will resonate with all the military officers and soldiers of the National Army, and its effect will directly affect the effectiveness of recruiting. Among them, the welfare stations and military camp stations created by the General Welfare Service Ministry of the Ministry of National Defense (MND) R.O.C. in various regions are the only service organizations in the National Army that can directly benefit military officers, soldiers and their families. In the face of the rapid growth of retail channel operators and changes in the overall sales pattern in the current market, how should the General Welfare Service Ministry of MND’s business model transform to meet the needs of consumers on the product side and the shopping model. This research explores the literature to understand how the General Welfare Service Ministry of MND R.O.C. can effectively transform its business model under the prerequisite of limited sales objects, so as to adopt more flexible business models and marketing strategies that can resonate with consumers, and ensure product quality and expand service categories at the same time, creating a win-win situation between the General Welfare Service Ministry of MND R.O.C. and consumers. This study adopts a qualitative research method, and conducts in-depth interviews with three different types of subjects that are closely related to the transformation of the General Welfare Service. It is hoped to explore the value of the research, and provide specific transformation recommendations to be used as a reference for the future decision-making by the General Welfare Service Ministry of MND R.O.C. This study found that in addition to emphasizing product quality and price lower than the average market price, it should also focus on product promotion, and comprehensively upgrade the interior of the store with modern designs to attract young consumers. In addition, through the establishment of the NRA’s own brand image, the use of big data to create more diversified promotion methods, the provision of on-line payment consumption options and other active operational transformation measures, it can ensure sustainable operation and continue to benefit service recipients.

Solution Bounds and Nearly Exact Solutions for 3D Nonlinear Problems of Large Deformation of Solids Using S-Fem

In this work, a three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear smoothed finite element method (S-FEM) solver is developed for large deformation problems. Node-based and face-based S-FEM using automatically generable four-noded tetrahedral elements (NS-FEM-Te4 and FS-FEM-Te4) are adopted to find the solution bounds in strain energy. The lower bound solutions are obtained using FEM-Te4 and FS-FEM-Te4, while the upper bound solutions are obtained using NS-FEM-Te4. A combined [Formula: see text]S-FEM-Te4 with a scaling factor [Formula: see text] that controls the combination is constructed to find nearly exact solutions for the nonlinear solids mechanics problems through adjusting [Formula: see text]. This is achieved using the property that a successive change of scaling factor [Formula: see text] can make the model transform from “overly-stiff” to “overly-soft”. Considering the properties of FS-FEM and NS-FEM, a selective FS/NS-FEM-TE4 is also used to solve 3D nonlinear large deformation problems, which produces a lower bound in strain energy. Hyperelastic Mooney–Rivlin and Ogden materials are both used in this study. Numerical examples reveal that S-FEM-Te4 is an effective method for obtaining solution bounds together with the standard FEM, and the FS-FEM-Te4, NS-FEM-Te4 and selective FS/NS-FEM-TE4 are robust with the high accuracy and computational efficiency for large deformation nonlinear problems.

Small Volumes, Concealed Images: Portrait Miniatures and the Body = Pequeños volúmenes, imágenes ocultas: Las miniaturas retrato y el cuerpo

This paper examines a group of artifacts that are paradigmatic for images worn on the body: the portrait jewel. In particular the article focuses on the envelopes in which English Renaissance portrait miniatures – like human bodies – were protected. Historical sources reveal very different materials: Besides paper, silk, ivory or velvet we find jeweled metal containers that made it possible to fix the portrait on one’s own body. The article analyzes how, both in images of an official and very intimate nature, these jeweled artifacts interact with the wearer’s body. It does so by focusing on the process of handling: Portrait jewels always demanded an act of opening and closing, of turning and folding, through which they ‘unfolded’ their specific semantics – and their very agency. How exactly these tiny items could model, transform and question binary relations of object and subject is finally shown with a ‘close reading’ of the Heneage Jewel, the most complex of these artifacts. Este documento examina una serie de objetos que representan ejemplos de imágenes que se llevan sobre el cuerpo: las joyas-retrato. En particular, el artículo se centra en los envoltorios con los que las miniaturas-retrato del Renacimiento Británico - al igual que el cuerpo humano - estaban protegidas. Las fuentes históricas nos revelan materiales muy distintos: además del papel, la seda, el marfil o el terciopelo, encontramos contenedores metálicos enjoyados que permitían llevar el retrato sobre el propio cuerpo. El artículo analiza cómo, tanto en imágenes de naturaleza oficial como muy íntima, estos objetos enjoyados interaccionan con el cuerpo del usuario. Esto tiene lugar centrándose en su proceso de manipulación: las joyas-retrato siempre requerían de una acción de apertura y cierre, de giro y plegado, a través de la cual desplegaban su significado específico así como su propio cometido. El cómo exactamente estas diminutas piezas podían modelarse, transformarse y cuestionar sus relaciones binarias entre objeto y sujeto, se demuestra finalmente con una lectura pormenorizada de la joya Heneage, la más compleja de estas piezas.

Research on Management Information System of the Logistics Supply Chain of Liaoning Agricultural and Mechanical Products

In allusion to the characteristics of Liaoning agricultural products logistics, this paper comes up with the management model of the logistics supply chain of Liaoning agricultural products from the aspect of information technology and the establishment of management information system of logistics supply chain of Liaoning agricultural products to achieve the transformation of agricultural products logistics from traditional function-based basic logistics to integrated logistics model, transform the agricultural production and operation mode, adjust the structure of agricultural production, establish the management model of the supply chain of agricultural products logistics based on information network which is fit for Liaoning, apply the theory of supply chain management to the producing, processing and circulation segments of agricultural products, and actively promote the development of agricultural economy and the process of agriculture industrialization in Liaoning.

By using homogenous coordinate transformation principle and Denavit-Hartenberg analysis method, a measurement kinematics model and a error model to arbitrary point of automobile panels in normal mechanical parameter measurement instrument, which the movement of the probe center is relative to machine reference frame is construct. On the basis of using wielding matrix function total differential method, building up the error delivery relation of parameter error of measuring motion model transform to the probe center, and having verified what be built the error model correctness by simulation. The error is enlarge mainly in the process of delivery from angle error, while length error are very minor in error effects.
