title: Impact of window views on recovery—An example of post-cesarean section women abstract: Objective: The objective of this study was to examine the impact of urban landscape from window views on quality of care for women who underwent Cesarean Section (C-section) in Taiwan. Design: The participants were randomly assigned into 46 different hospital rooms to see the effects of various window views and daylight exposure on women’s recovery from post C-section care. Setting: We carried out this study in the obstetrics departments of three tertiary hospitals located in two major cities of Taiwan: Taipei City and New Taipei City. Participants: A total of 296 women who underwent C-sections and used patient-controlled analgesic (PCA) for pain control after their surgery during the 10-month data collection period were recruited for this study. Intervention: The 46 different patient rooms provided diverse window views and different daylight exposure for the participants. Main Outcome Measures: Recovery for the women who underwent C-sections in this study was defined as PCA usage and perceived pain measured by Brief Pain Inventory (BFI). Results: Higher satisfaction of window view significantly decreased analgesic usage (P = 0.057), reduced the scores of overall perceived pain (P = 0.046), pain severity (P = 0.004), and ‘pain’s interference with relations with others, enjoyment of life, and mood (REM).’ (P = 0.095). Conclusions: To maximize benefit and well-being of patients recovering from surgery, health care architects should design patient rooms to create maximum satisfaction with visual impacts and optimize window views. By doing so, it may decrease the use of pain medication and substantially reduce healthcare costs.

街道尺度與建築配置對室内自然通風效益之影響

title: 街道尺度與建築配置對室内自然通風效益之影響 abstract: 近年因都市熱島效應與極端氣候之影響，減少能源消耗且適應環境之建築設計思維已成為現今主流，以德國為起點，歐美亦已推動被動式建築（Passivhaus），台灣亦有綠建築政策鼓勵建築提高所使用資源效率，與減低對環境與人體健康之影響，被動式建築也逐步在推廣。而若是在都市設計階段即考慮到建築與環境之關係，後續再推動被動式建築或是綠建築政策則會有更好的節能效率與適應環境之能力。在都市環境中，自然通風之效益較差，而室內自然通風之效益除了與建築配置相關外，亦受外部街道環境影響，故本研究探討建築配置對於室內通風效益之影響。研究結果得知，主要建築配置方位與該地區之主要風向呈45°角，室內通風效益為最佳；街谷高寬比（H／W）越高則室內通風效益越佳，但相對其街道中的迴流區亦較高，因此建議需有其他配套設計解決街道通風效益較差之問題；不同建築配置情況下，平行配置與錯列配置之室內通風效益趨勢相似，但在街谷中造成之流況不同，平行配置風流況較穩定具規律性，但高H／W情形下縮流效應明顯，錯列配置受渦流影響風流況較不穩定，但縮流效應相對較低。

初探921 集集地震災害近斷層帶居民災害認知與調適行為特性

title: 初探921 集集地震災害近斷層帶居民災害認知與調適行為特性 abstract: 災害會對個體及其行為產生影響，行為個體接受到一定災害的刺激，即會產生情緒狀態並對災害產生回應。災害調適行為決策主要受到災害認知所影響，災害認知是人類面對災害的個體管理策略，受限於知識、資源的有限性，行為個體依據主觀的價值觀：「居住地點的情感依附性」與「有限理性」進行有限的選擇，最終形成「有限的最適決策」。是以，本研究奠基於計畫行為理論，據此關注於探討災害風險認知與調適行為，應用問卷調查結果資料探究921集集地震後近斷層帶土地使用限建區個體災害認知與調適行為特性。研究結果顯示，「對於地方的情感」與「親朋好友居住於近鄰地區」為重要影響選擇繼續居住的關鍵原因，以及受訪者普遍樂觀地相信再一次發生6級地震對目前居住房子的衝擊是輕微的，顯示「居住地點的情感依附性」與「有限理性」對地區居民災害認知與調適行為產生一定程度的影響。

title: Analysis of Attendance Duration - A Case Study of University of Taipei abstract: The purpose of this study is to use survival analysis method to discuss the factors that affect student attendance duration. In this study, 182 dropouts, most of the suspension of the school occurred in the freshman year. We analysis the student backgrounds of suspension of study, such as their "college", "school loan", " type of higher school ", "indigenous peoples", those reasons are more than 20%. Use Kaplan-Meier curve, we find that the attendance duration will be significantly different by the different background factors, such as "college", "school loan", "early alert", and "half of the credits failed".
