寒假實習心得紐西蘭聯強國際集團/國貿四乙江珮瑄

在紐西蘭生活了一個月，看了很多也觀察到了很多，透過日常生活的觀察，了解了紐西蘭一些生活方面的知識、體會，還有這個國家的特點，像是在生活方面其生活步調較慢，其實是很愜意的，氣候涼爽，他們也重視家庭生活，大部分的店在5:30都關了（除了週四、五開到晚上九點），因此下班後大多都待在家裡與家人相處不太會出門，假日通常都會往外走，懂的賺錢也懂的享受生活，華人很多（通常為學生、上班族，大多來自台灣、印度、大陸）而在企業方面以中小企業為主，其中奧克蘭的工業區可容納4-5萬家公司，南島又以農業較多（白酒很有名），法律方面，國家對工人的人權是相當有保障的，只要沒超過6個月公司是不得任意差遣員工，必須先以警告的方式，而紐西蘭也是設立公司相對簡單的國家，交通方面有火車、公車（線路多）相當方便，在紐西蘭生活的這一個月感到舒適愉快，空氣品質很好，是一個很適合生活的地方，此次又很幸運地住在逢甲已畢業的學姊家，受到學姊、叔叔很多的照顧，即使身在國外也有家的感覺，平日在公司實習，假日我們也會到一些著名的景點（海灘、公園）走走接觸大自然，看了很多美到不行的風景。

紐西蘭生活

經過實習第一週，了解了聯強的一些營運模式、歷史，像是他的前身是神通，是一間IT通路商，其員工人數大約為65人，華人佔一半，業務大多為在地人，員工不外派直接當地招募，子公司沒股東（100%聯強控管），他們營運主要是想在第一時間收到貨品並將貨送到顧客手中，而他們的目標為搶佔紐西蘭400萬的人口市場，切割英國市場提高市占，並將利益溢到澳洲的分公司，除此之外也了解了聯強的退貨流程、庫存管理、跟廠商要錢再來給顧客回饋的過程等……各種財務方面的問題、知識，平時在公司除了幫忙對帳之外也有學習怎麼做credit note，以前只在書上學過出credit note的流程、方法，從未實際操作過。

實習生活

在實務上學到一些財務上的知識，主要都在操作Excel表，也用到了很多以前在學校所沒學到的、或不曾用過的Excel技巧、credit note、計算退貨處理費用CRC fee、企業的財務系統操作，以及從經理身上學到一些公司營運方面的知識。人際關係上，相較於出國前較勇於開口，畢竟身處在國外許多事情只能靠自己，有問題也就主動開口問別人，在公司上班除了認識的同部門的同事之外，午茶時間在茶水間也會主動與不同部門的同事聊天，除了公司的人員以外在假日旅途的過程中也認識了幾個來自不同國家的外國人，有些是來讀書、有些事來旅遊、也有人是來工作的，我們也留下彼此的聯絡方式，繼續保持聯繫。我們也參觀了報關行學習到了很多與報關相關的知識，比起在學校所學的多更多，也更實務、更貼近實際運作時會碰到的狀況，以及報關最新的時事、法規條例等……收穫蠻多的。

03

很開心能有這個機會到紐西蘭實習、生活一個月，在這一個月裡看了很多也學到了很多，深入當地生活，比起旅遊有更多的時間好好的觀察這個國家的總總，而這次實習除了上班增加實務經驗，也發現了自己該加強的能力像是更高階的會計知識（在校所學只學到初會）、Excel技巧（學習更多工作上會用到的Excel技巧）、English 能力（平時與外國人對話還算聽得懂，但在紐西蘭他們講話有口音，加上速度比較快，因此會聽不太懂，需要多加適應、訓練聽他們口音以及講話速度），那這次實習在財務部門，很多都會碰到會計科目，其實以前課堂所學的會計基礎、國際財務，國際貿易所學的貿易流程、報關、電腦課所學的基本Excel應用方式對這次的實習過程是很有幫助，而這一個月裡了解更多紐西蘭的在地的生活習慣（食、交通、住、娛樂）、人文特性、產業結構以及經濟現況，也增加了實務技巧、經驗，了解企業的整個財務會計流程、實際操作企業的財務系統，以及了解企業的營運經營模式，也更加了解整個貿易流程，我們也利用了假日到紐西蘭的著名景點走走看看，除了能夠練習英文還結交了好多新朋友，增進了國際視野也拓展了自己的人脈，真的很值得。

心得

比起另一個實習生我接觸到的是整個財務流程（結合AR、AP、Rebate），學得更全面，起初從有些聽不懂、弄混，到後來能夠獨立作業（確認貨物是否有到、利用excel表統整報關行當月所有的貨物運送編號、所產生的費用，獨自計算CRC Fee，一些財務報表的製作）。

近期電競、挖礦（比特幣）的趨勢，讓聯強的顯示卡賣的很好，而他們解決東西賣不出去的方法有兩種，第一種為要求顧客在買新產品時必須連同購買一些較滯銷的商品，第二種為辦抽獎活動來吸引購買人潮，他們也期望顧客一開始以及最後詢價的對象都是聯強。

寒假實習心得紐西蘭聯強國際集團/國貿四乙林家而

隨著國際形勢的發展，全球貿易及投資使得企業版圖不再侷限於國內，一直以來都希望有機會能參與海外實習學習不同部門的行銷策略和國際貿易，原本不了解海外實習的我在聽了學長姐生動的經驗分享和老師對每間公司詳細的介紹後，讓我更想把握海外實習機會，跨出台灣開始接觸與財務和國貿有關的工作經驗，除了培養扎實的專業能力外也能精進多方面的技術和知識，最重要的可以是訓練自己更加的獨力。從國中開始最想去的地方一直是歐洲，紐西蘭從來都不在我的清單裡，但因為這次江老師及賴學姐提供的機會讓我毫不猶豫的將紐西蘭填在第一志願，不僅僅是想學到學科上的知識更想了解紐西蘭之美。

下飛機的那一刻就能感覺到紐西蘭的空氣和天空十分的清爽乾淨，路上也沒有壅擠的機車和垃圾，當時非常慶幸能有此次的實習機會。我實習的地方位於紐西蘭北島奧克蘭東區的工業區，附近大多是物流公司，幾乎沒有任何商店或餐廳。實習內容為熟悉財務部門主要工作內容、實際操作公司財務系統、協助對帳、製作財務統計表、獨自在財務系統上完成key in動作、了解CRC Fee整個計算流程等等。最特別的是經理帶我們參觀聯強的儲貨倉，因為紐西蘭法律非常嚴格所以進去必須穿好所有安全裝備，看到好幾公尺的架子跟將近數千的商品非常的驚艷，且聯強不同的地方在於他們每天都會盤點保證實體貨和網路的數量是相符的，也分類的非常詳細為了怕搞混所以相像的產品不會放在一起，在員工裝貨時也都有清晰的攝影機記錄方便查看是否包裝錯誤或是顧客誣賴產品有缺漏。另一個特別的經驗是經理帶我們參觀與他們合作最大間的報關行- Expeditor，主要提供進出口貨物空運、海運、集運、倉儲、分送、監管、報關、咨詢服務，為美國最大的國際貨運代理公司。裡面的業務負責接待我們講述了非常多關於國際貿易進出口的流程和全國運輸的一些規則禁忌等等，非常有感觸，學習到許多之前在課堂上沒有學到的知識。

雖然聯強經理看起來非常嚴肅但其實很好相處，我們總是會去找經理聊天聽他分享人生大道理和心靈雞湯，每次都有不同的收穫也對自己未來的目標更加的明確，而那些話也會永遠牢記在我的心中。公司的同事雖然與我們有年齡的差距原本以為會有隔閡，但她們卻對我們很好除了教我們EXCEL的技巧和財務會計的知識，每到休息及午餐時間她們都會陪我們聊天也會分享紐西蘭的風俗民情，常常會送我們許多東西非常親切。這次紐西蘭實習會成為我人生中最難忘的回憶之一，不僅僅認識了許多人脈更親身體會到了紐西蘭的美和清靜。

寒假實習心得生活達人網路行銷實體超市

/國貿四乙鄭毓瑂

實習的過程中，我從觀察和體驗學到了運作一個超市的整個流程，也學到了很多實際的理論操作。主管告訴我，NJK這種中小型超市沒有辦法像大型企業那樣每個position都對應一個role，有的時候一個position必須身兼多職對應兩個甚至三個role。很多人都會嚮往能夠去大公司裡面當個leader，而中小型企業雖然可能很累需要做很多事，但正因在成長期還有非常多的成長空間，所以自己本身也能夠跟著公司一起成長一起進步，去思考怎麼樣能做得更好。

Communication在一個組織中很重要，分成rules和responsibility，成長和進步就是在慢慢完善standards的過程，大公司之所以規範就是因為他的rules已經很完整成熟，所以底下的人只需要遵守上面下達的指令，能夠學到的也僅僅只有他所對應負責的那個role，沒機會去接觸到其他領域和學習不一樣的東西。

紐西蘭的國家面積大，人口稀疏不夠密集，所以薄利多銷在這裡並不適用。因此一個超市必須涵蓋很多種類的商品，不能只賣暢銷的那種東西，而是可在超市裡擺一些低價商品吸引人走進來，然後再連帶讓他們去注意，引導購買其他高利潤商品。而財務是企業的命脈、心臟，是一個Leader最重要也必須具備的能力。一個人要領導一個團隊，要把一個企業管理好，就必須先懂財務，企業最本質存在的意義就是要營利，所以看懂財務報表，分析整個超市營運狀況的營利虧損就很重要了。在NJK，時間就是金錢，非常寶貴，主管會把精力放在marketing和管理方面，而有些外包給專門機構去做這些事情。

這趟海外實習在實務上雖然並沒有我期望中的那麼高，但卻在生活中得到了意料外的收穫，不管是獨立解決事情的能力或對紐西蘭當地文化深度的瞭解，我都很幸運能有這段經歷和回憶。

－Thailand Field Trip

Saranya Wonghatsadorn翁紗蘭

Experience Sharing on Field Trip Course

The field trip in Thailand has started on Sunday January 13, 2019 in the evening. Wemet at Bangkok’s Chinatown to take the dinner. Chinatown has been the main centre fortrading by the Chinese community. It’s covered the history of the early Chineseimmigrants to Bangkok, stayed here, and integrated with Thai society. Chinatown or inThai language “Yaowarat” (the name comes from the road) is famous and has variety offood both in street food and in the Chinese restaurant. Thus, there are many Thai peopleand foreign tourists coming to Yaowarat. Most of the restaurants need to take an queue. Ihave seen that the waiters in the restaurants can speak Chinese and English. It’s soamazing. After we finished having dinner, we walked around and then we separated andtook a rest.

First DayJanuary 13, 2019

08

On January 14th, firstly we started at Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand.We got a good welcoming from the officer. We introduced ourselves and talk about thereason why we have chosen to study in Master’s Degree in Feng Chia University, Taichung,Taiwan. For me, Chinese language is the language of Taiwan and nowadays Chineselanguage is the language that a large number of people can speak. So, I want to learnChinese language. Taiwan has provided a lot of scholarships to foreigners. Taiwanese peopleare really kind and they try to help foreign people. The cost of living in Taiwan, especially inTaichung is not quite different from Thailand. The location is near to Feng Chia night marketand the transportation is also convenient. These are the reasons why I choose to study here.We also talked about the New Southbound Policy; the policy that makes Taiwan has lessdependent on Mainland China by cooperating with other countries. The policy waslaunched since 2016. Thailand is also one country that this policy intends to cooperate withand the policy has also developed the relationship, trade & economic, technology, industry,agriculture, education, and tourism between Taiwan and Thailand; for example, Taiwanprovides 14-days Visa free for Thai people who wants to travel to Taiwan since August1,2018 to July 31, 2019. So, the number of Thai people travelling to Taiwan has increased.

We took a lunch in that building; Empire Tower, and secondly we went toChulalongkorn University. Chulalongkorn University is the oldest institute of highereducation in Thailand that’s established since 1917. We have seen the introductionpresentation from the faculty of Education of Chulalongkorn University. The university hasprovided the course for both Thais and foreigners that have the qualification as it requires.Then we did the university tour. That day is the sport day so we didn’t see many studentsbut we saw some of university’s classrooms, buildings, and studying materials. We alsoknew the Chulalongkorn students belief’s do and don’t. If they don’t follow, they may notgraduate. And we have a chance to take a picture in front of the bronze statues of HisMajesty King Chulalongkorn and His Majesty King Vajiravudh; the founders of ChulalongkornUniversity that everyone in the university respects to him.

Second DayJanuary 14, 2019

09

Thirdly we went to Icon Siam, Thailand’slargest riverside convenient store that islocated along Chao Phraya River in KlongSan.Icon Siam has many luxury brand shops and ithas one floor that shows the Thai culture offloating market. There are a lot of Thaitraditional food and dessert. We can come toIcon Siam by bus, car, and boat.

Lastly, we had a dinner on Bangkok Chao Phraya River White Orchid Cruise. We took acruise, ate the international cuisine buffet, enjoyed with Thai classical dance show andcabaret show, listened to live music on board,and took sightseeing view along Chao PhrayaRiver. The cruise will pass the beautiful scenery of Bangkok’s most famous places like TheRoyal Grand Palace, Wat Pho (Temple of Reclining Buddha) and Wat Arun (Temple of Dawn),The Rama VIII bridges, etc.

10

On January 15th, we started at company visit. The first company is Sun PlexEngineering and Software Co Ltd. This company produces the software programs by appliedfrom Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), Mixed Reality (MR), Artificial Intelligence(AI), Blockchain, and Big Data for other companies both in Thai and foreign countries.Moreover, the company also has the research center to exchange the knowledge and teachthe course of Augmented Reality (AR) for the one who’s interested. I think it’s veryinteresting. Its products can be used in term of education, meditation, security, educationand amusement. The technology has changed very fast. The one who can adapt thetechnology, it can create a lot benefits. In the future, if I have a chance, I will take its course.

Third DayJanuary 15, 2019

On January 16th, we started at HonChuan (Thailand) Co., LTD; Taiwanesecompany operating in Thailand. Firstly; wetook a look around the factory, wore thesuitable cloth, mask, head cover, and shoecover, cleaned the handed and body, andput ear plug. I think it looks formal and safe.We saw the process and the machine thatuses to make the cap of the bottle. I haveseen one machine; CCM Machine Sacmiltaly,it can produce 66,000 pieces per hour. Sothey can produce a lot of caps and itsproducts are sent to many big and famouscompanies in Thailand like Pepsi, Coke,Fanta, Ichidan Group, and etc. The companyhas 2 types of the caps. The first is put thecolor name of the brand on the top and nocolor. The machine can check the quality ofthe cap. If it’s not qualified, it will beseparated. Secondly, we went to themeeting room. There were lecturersintroduce the company overview. HonChuan has the manufacture in Taiwan, China,Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia,Myanmar, Cambodia, and Mozambique. Thecompany is set up in Thailand since 2004.The main headquarter is in Taiwan. Lastly,the company took us to have lunch in onerestaurant. The foods were really good andthe Hon Chuan staffs are also nice. Theywere taking very good care of us and givingus a good knowledge. I feel very enjoyable.

11

After finishing at Hon Chuan, we went to Thammasat Business School, Tha PrachanCampus. The lecturer gave us the introduction of the university and talked about theexchange program. The university will open to foreign students who would like to studyhere. For the universities that have the contract with Thammasat, the exchange student willget the credit and use it as one subject in their own university. Our Professor said that FengChia University also has the contract with Thammasat University. So, in the future thestudents in Feng Chia have a chance to be exchange student with Thammasat University.Thammasat Business School also provides one class that the lecturer is the CEO from thecompany (Shopee shopping online). The students can learn from the real situation in thecompany, think and analyze the problem. I think it’s very interesting to learn from the CEOof the company because the things that we have studied in the classroom will be differentcomparing to the real working. Then, we made the Campus Tour; saw the university’senvironment, and university library. After finishing Campus Tour, we took the bus going backto the hotel.

12

The last day was on January 16th. We went to Pattaya; Chonburi Metropolitan Area.For the first place, we went to Grand Canyon. This place had not too many tourists. We tookaround 15 minutes walking around and we saw a beautiful scenery view of the GrandCanyon. This place is close to the train station.

Then, we went to Kao Sam Muk. There were a lot of monkeys along the roadside.These monkeys are not scary to the tourists but we should be careful because they can takeour belongings. We had lunch at LomSila Seafood restaurant. The food tasted really good.They are very fresh. Near the restaurant, there is a local fresh market. There are someseafood, snacks, and souvenirs that are sold by the local people around there.

Forth DayJanuary 16, 2019

13

For the Field Trip in Thailand, I think it’sone of my impressive trips. I got theinteresting knowledge from Companyvisiting, saw the courses in the famousuniversities in Thailand and enjoyed with myfriends. I want to say Thank to the officers inevery place that we have joined. They gaveus a very good welcoming. Thank you forprofessors Liu, Weng-Kun for setting thisfield trip. Thank you Khun Eva; ourcoordinator for contacting to theorganizations in Thailand. Even the weatheris hot, we faced with the traffic jam,everything has passed in the good way.Thank you for my friends, we have shared amemorial time together.

The Exotic Zoo zone has showed many wild animals like tiger, crocodiles, giantcatfish, elephants, bears, giraffes, and etc. Some of these animals you can buy some foodand give it to them like fish, giraffes, crocodiles. Some of them we can play and take a photowith them like small tiger and elephant. Moreover, we also saw the crocodile show. Thereare a lot crocodiles here. For me, it looked scary when I saw the people playing with thecrocodiles.

The last place of the trip that we went was Pattaya Walking Street. We used around 10minutes seeing the sea beach and the Walking Street. Because we arrived too fast, some ofthe shops in Walking Street didn’t open yet. In order not to arrive Bangkok too late, wedecided to go back to Bangkok after finishing walking around.

Field Trip Course

Thanida Suthinoparatanakul韓楚賢

I as a second year student of Master Program have got a chance to go to field trip inThailand for 5 days in order to explore Thai working culture, living life style, and country.Field trip period was from 13th to 17th January, 2019. This trip consisted of Professor andMaster students as 13 people in total.

13th January was the first day we arrived to Bangkok. On 14th January, we have gota opportunity to meet the representative of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office inThailand. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand is the representative officein Thailand, which represents as a de facto embassy in the absence of diplomaticrelations. A de facto embassy means an office or organisation that serves de facto as anembassy in the absence of normal or official diplomatic relations among countries,usually to represent nations which lack full diplomatic recognition, regions ordependencies of countries, or territories over which sovereignty is disputed. In somecases, diplomatic immunity and extraterritoriality may be granted. Taiwan, as theRepublic of China was operated an embassy in Bangkok until 1975. However, an embassywas closed down after Thailand established full diplomatic relations with People’sRepublic of Chi na. The Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand represents theRepublic of China (Taiwan) in the Kingdom of Thailand to maintain and strengthen thesubstantial relations and traditional friendship between the people in Taiwan andThailand. The current representative of Taipei Economic and Cultural Office in Thailand isMr. Tung Chen-yuan. I have acknowledge the New Southbound Policy from joining thismeeting. The New Southbound Policy was established by the Tsai Administration, whichfocuses on four principles, namely, economic cooperation, special talent exchangeprogrammes, resource sharing and regional integration, and deepening economic andcultural links with 16 ASEAN and South Asian countries, Australia and New Zealand. Thepurpose of the New Southbound Policy in the term of a political and economic viewpointis to avoid Taiwan from becoming overly dependent on a monopoly market (e.g. China)and to create bilateral economic partnerships with targeted nations in order to support aNew Model for Economic Development. Trade between Taiwan and the New South+18countries accounted approximately US$ 96,018.2 million in 2016. Moreover, ASEAN+10countries aer the second largest trading partner for Taiwan after China. In addition,Taiwan has invested largely in Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, the Philippines,and Indonesia in 2017. This policy gives the opportunity for Thailand to workeconomically even more closely with Taiwan as well as exchanging the technologicalknowledge and working labors.

In the afternoon, we went to visitChulalongkorn University. The universitywas established in 1979 by King Rama VI ofThailand. We went to visit Faculty ofEducation. This Faculty was established in1975 as the seventh faculty ofChulalongkorn University.

The facultycurrently operates 6 AcademicDepartments and 2 Demonstration Schools.The Faculty of Education offers all academicprogrammes: (1) Bachelor's Program, (2)Master’s Program, and (3) DoctoralProgram.

Having a chance to visit the campusand classroom, I was able to explore thestudy environment of the faculty. Thefacility and classroom are also appropriatefor students to study.

Chulalongkorn University

The Sun Plex Engineering Co.,Ltd.

We visited the company called The SunPlex Engineering Co.,Ltd. This companyfocus on the Virtual Reality (VR),Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality(MR). We have got to meet the CEO of thecompany and have some discussion withthe him and his technological developmentteam. They presented us regarding the VR,AR, MR technology and also how thesetechnologies are related to our living life-style. I’ve known that this kind oftechnology is surrounded around useveryday.

16

AR,VR,MR Technology can apply inany field (e.g. game, study, media,medical study, art, etc.). The companyalso works with several partners fromlocal and international, namelyIndonesia, India, Japan, etc. Forexample, they work with Bandai fromJapan for creating game cards. Thecompany also work with medicaldepartment from local university inorder to develop VR for the studymaterials for the medical students.

We also had a chance to experiencesome game cards and other VR projectsfrom the company. In my opinion, thiskind of technology become people’sattention. Thus, it is crucial to learn andknow how to adapt our lives to thistechnology as well as the having anadvanced development in thistechnological knowledge.

17

Our team got a chance to visit Hon Chuan (Thailand) Co.,Ltd in Thailand. Hon Chuanis Taiwanese company. Originally, Tai Hong Industrial Co., Ltd. ” in capital of NT$600,000, was established by founder, Mr. Dai Chin-Si in Zhang Hua City. The mainproduct of the company is Cap Product, PET bottle, Label Products, and other products.

In order to internationalize the business, Hon Chuan has widely expanded thebusiness to other countries such as China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar,Cambodia, and Africa. In 2004, The Company organized “Hon Chuan (Asia) Holdings Co.,Ltd.,” and set up Hon Chuan (Thailand) plant, Hon Chuan FD plant, Hon Chuan (Indonesia)plant as well as established operation headquarters in Asian, which include Taiwan,China and South-East Asia. Hon Chuan recently operates 5 plants in Thailand in severalcities in order to serve the products to the local businesses. There are several Thaicompanies becoming Hon Chuan (Thailand) Co., Ltd (e.g. Ishitan, Oishi, Coca-Cola, etc.).Hon Chuan (Thailand) Co., Ltd has become the leading plastic producer for local Thaibeverage companies.

We could explore the plant in order to experience how the plastic producedmachines work, how the product lines are operated, the security and safety in the plant,and other management practices. I got a lot of knowledge by joining the company tour. Ihave learnt the management practices and the working life-style in Thai factory.

For the last place that we visit was Thammasat Business School of ThammasatUniversity. Thammasat Business School is one of the top business school in Thailand.Thammasat Business School offers several programmes in both Thai language for localstudents and international program for foreign students. After the campus tour, I haveknown the different between Feng Chia Business program and Thammasat BusinessProgram. However, both of them have their own unique principles. Moreover, I haveseen the new studying environment of the university as well.

From this field trip, I have learnt and gained a lot of knowledge that I could notexperience from the normal classes. I have met people from different countries andliving in different environment. Moreover, I have gained some working knowledge in thedifferent culture’s point of view.

This field trip gives a chance for me to open my world wider and learn new things inthe different viewpoint. I feel so glad that I could join this amazing trip with everyone.

Experience Sharing on International Trade Management

Topic: The Evaluation of conflict impact on human being – Evidence from Uganda

Guest Speaker: Dr. Fu-Min TsengDate: November 8, 2018Listener: Natchanun Duangchaijarat 周文賢 , Thailand

Dr. Fu-Min Tseng,who is the researcher ofthis project, conductedthis speech. He has beenin many countries inEurope, Asia, and Africa-Zimbabwe. He told us thatthe country in Africa isvery different from othersand some of themimpressed him a lot.

During the time that he was in Zimbabwe,he faced with many new things that he neverfaced it before. For example, the very highinflation rate; the about of money in thebanknote in Zimbabwe high to one trilliondollars and it can buy an only chicken but nowpeople change to use USD instead, also thetransportation; many people transport by onlyuse the minibus.

When Dr. Fu-Min Tseng doing his research,he has a chance to do the project about armyconflict in Uganda. The government needs tofind a way to rebuild and restore the societyback to the normal situation. Some of thegovernment’s ways are gathered all the peopleinto the same village in order to control themduring the army conflict situation.

25

This rebuilding process usually takes a long time due to the poor setting of the country.So this research estimates the changes in human well-being when the conflict intensityreduces to low from high to shed light on the urgent needs that the government and donorsshould place more resources. The researcher used ACLED (The Armed Conflict Location &Event Data), UNHS (Uganda National Household Survey) and DiD framework to get theresult. The outcomes of the data are from self-reported illness, visits to health providers,health expenditure per capita, and food consumption per capita.

Therefore, the results show that people use more private clinics, NGO health units,and NGO hospitals in this period when they choose formal providers due to theunaffordability of public healthcare. For people who live in urban areas, they mostly visitformal providers (health units, clinics, and hospitals) but for people who live in rural areasvisit more informal providers (community health worker, HOMAPAK drug distributor,ordinary shop, pharmacy, and others) due to they cannot pay on the higher cost. On theother hand, for food consumption per capita significantly increases in this period which isderived from rural households or male-headed households. This can have attributed to anincrement in home produced food due to the extension of arable areas.

Dr. Fu-Min Tseng also said that there is some limitation of the data because theresearcher cannot access all the data due to the regulation of each country that needs toprotect their national data. Therefore, to capture the longer-term effect of conflict endingon study outcomes is infeasible, it needs to research more on the future.

In my opinion, the country in Africa is the country that no one knows well and want tovisit due to we have heard of it in a negative way. It is a good thing that has a researcherwho volunteers or ordered to research about it, so the people outside can know andunderstand more about them on both positive and negative ways. According to this speech,I learned that each country also facing with the conflict but each of them has their ownways to solve the problem and save their people.

Topic: The Evaluation of conflict impact on human being – Evidence from Uganda

Guest Speaker: Dr. Fu-Min TsengDate: November 8, 2018Listener: 威妮弗蕾德

The concept of conflict has been approached in a variety of ways and givendiverse definitions. There is apparently no universally accepted definition of theconcept, in that it is contentious as to whether it is a situation or a variety of behavior.Conflicts can be seen as an intrinsic and inevitable part of the existence of humanbeings, this phenomenon can be described as the pursuit of incompatible interestsand goals by different groups. What can however be said to underlie most definitionsoffered are that a conflict is a process, which has developed from past interactions byindividuals and groups; and that there are recognized opposing interests betweenparties in a zero-sum situation. Consequently, the dominant view of scholars andinvestigators is that conflicts are largely the expression of mutually opposing interestsbetween individuals and groups in society.

The concept of conflict

Uganda has suffered intermittent conflict since independence in 1962. In 1967,the first Prime Minister, Dr. Milton Obote, overthrew the country’s first President, SirEdward Mutesa II and pronounced Uganda a republic. Multiple military coups andviolent regimes followed – including that of Idi Amin (1971-1979)– and have sinceresulted in hundreds of thousands of deaths and the prolonged suffering of Ugandans.56 years since independence, the country is yet to witness a democratic handover ofpower from one leader to another.

The most recent coup, in 1986, brought current president Yoweri Museveni topower. His government has faced armed opposition from different groups across thecountry. Through a hybrid dictatorship and manipulation, Museveni has held a tightgrip on the country mantle of power for the last 31 years and counting.

UGANDA CONFLICT PROFILE

27

Since the 1990s, Uganda has been engaged in a number of civil wars, the mostprotracted being a 20 years’ war against Joseph Kony’s Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA)whose aim was to establish a state based on the Ten Commandments. The LRA becamenotoriously infamous for their abduction of 60,000 children to serve as child soldiers andsex slaves.

A period of stability followed the Juba peace talks from 2006- 2008, but violencesoon resumed after a failed military offensive to wipe out the LRA in their hideouts inGaramba leading to its current incursions in Central African Republic and parts ofDemocratic Republic of Congo.

In 2005, the top five LRA leaders were indicted for war crimes and crimes against humanity. As of 2017, only one junior commander, Dominic Ongwen, is facing trial at the International Criminal Court. However, Kony remains at large. The US-backed African Union Regional Task Force has pushed the group back, announcing its mission’s completion in May 2017. However, some analysts claim that active splinters in CAR point to the potential of resurgence.

Despite earlier commitments to democracy and human rights, Museveni also abolished his term limit. His multiple re-elections have been marred with accusations of electoral fraud and violence. In 2016, his opponent, Dr Kizza Besigye, and his supporters were violently harassed by security forces, acting with seeming impunity. As of September 2017, Museveni embarked on a forceful move in Parliament to amend article 102 (b) of the Constitution to remove term limits on the Ugandan presidency and pave the way for serving for life.

One million Sudanese refugees have also fled to Uganda from the civil war, putting further pressure on Ugandan state and society.

28

The physical and mental health problems of the survivors of the genocide in Rwandahave been well documented. In a recent community based study examining 2091 subjects,24.8% met symptom criteria for PTSD, with the adjusted odds ratio of meeting PTSDsymptom criteria for each additional traumatic event being 1.43. Respondents who metPTSD criteria were less likely to have positive attitudes towards the Rwandan nationaltrials, suggesting that the effects of trauma need to be considered if reconciliation has tobe successful. There have been reports on the state of health among the large numbers ofrefugees (500,000-800,000 in five days) who fled to Goma, Zaire following the capture ofthe capital Kigali, but none of them has considered the mental health dimension.

Women have an increased vulnerability to the psychological consequences of war.There is evidence of a high correlation between mothers' and children's distress in a warsituation. It is now known that maternal depression in the prenatal and postnatal periodpredicts poorer growth in a community based sample of infants. Social support andtraditional birth attendants have a major role in promoting maternal psychosocialwellbeing in war-affected regions. The association between gender- based violence andcommon mental disorders is well known. Despite their vulnerability, women's resilienceunder stress and its role in sustaining their families has been recognized. There isconsistent evidence of higher rates of trauma-related psychological problems in children.Of the different age groups, the most vulnerable are the adolescents.

It is important to report that the WHO and some other UN-related bodies haverecently created a task force to develop "mental health and psychosocial support inemergency settings"

關於信宏老師在課堂中，帶領的一連串競賽活動，現在想起來是意義深遠、用心良苦，但學生們當下可是一頭霧水，只能在時間壓力下手忙腳亂地完成任務呢！對於我來說最印象深刻的就是「棉花糖挑戰」的部分了，老師一來就要我們用20根義大利麵條、90公分的棉線和膠帶，築出一個能放置棉花糖，並使棉花糖距離底部越遠越好的建物，解釋完後時間的碼表就開始前進了。

同學們儘管不理解，但也默默地追著時間開始討論方案ABC，我看了看沉默的組員們，首先大破了僵局，試著提出我的意見，或許是第一次見面，大家都很接納彼此不同的想法，就這樣一步一步完成了我們的高塔，它還意外地在判定時間內堅持沒倒下。

其實，老師並不是單純的讓我們做一個破冰的遊戲而已，接下來老師的分享才是讓我印象深刻的原因，那時，老師問了各組幾個問題；「誰是你們當中先說話的人？誰是提供意見的人？有人負責分配工作嗎？你們認為誰是領導者？」老師的提問目的，是讓同學們可以回想活動中自然生成的角色，進而領悟人力資源分配中的小道理，再更深入講解「人力資源管理」這堂課程生硬的理論。

但是，為什麼我對這幾句話感到印象深刻呢？原因是，我發現我的個性與在活動中的角色產生了矛盾，我是一個沒自信的人，總是怕自己出差錯，平常完全不願意擔當負責人；但在這場沒有規範領袖的活動中，我成為了自然領導者，並且導出一個還不錯的成果。

人力資源管理課堂

競賽活動心得/風保四甲 林允彤

老師的幾句話等於是給了我一記當頭棒喝，現在每當我想退縮，躲在別人背後做事的時候，就會想起這次美好的經驗，並要求自己勇於面對挑戰，就連這次助教邀請我分享心得，也是靠著信宏老師給的勇氣答應的呢！

回憶起這堂課的競賽活動，一切仍是歷歷在目，接下來的兩項活動也給予同學們許多省思，能感受到信宏老師對於課程的用心設計，使學生在互動及老師帶領的分享下，自然而然地領悟書本中所要教授的理論，更重要的是讓我們在生活中也能有所啟發。

How long do you learn Chinese and Chinese proficiency?The thought of studying Chinese started when I was travelling to China 5 years ago

where at that time, I couldn’t understand any conversation at all. At that point, it hasbecome an inspiration to me to study Chinese by self-studying for a period of time. However,when I made up my mind to study at Fengchia University, I had prepared myself to studyChinese from a Taiwanese teacher in Thailand. Although I have not participated in theChinese proficiency exam, I am looking forward to try in the future.

What are your impressions on, and life in Feng-Chia University and Taiwan?My first time visiting Taiwan was when I travelled with my family in April 2018. Personally,

I think Taiwan is a very beautiful and hygienic country filled with nice people and pleasanttourist attractions, including delicious food.

When I came to Fengchia University, I found that the atmosphere is very pleasurable where Ihad warm from every teachers and friends. The classroom, in one way, inspired me tobecome very eager to learn because I got to exchange knowledge with my friendsregardless of academic knowledge or traditions with other classmates from differentnationalities.

Have you seen much of Taiwan? Is there a place where you most want to visit inTaiwan?

As an out-going person, I love to travel to many places and meet new people. Therefore,while I’m studying in Taichung, I also spend my time travelling to other cities like Taipei,Miaoli, Tainan, Kaohsiung and Pingtung. Every city has its own unique atmosphere andlifestyle of people living there. I would like to go hiking in Taroko when I have more time tovisit. Last of all, I would like to recommend my friends to go to Gugong , the National PalaceMusuem, in order for them to see the long-history of Taiwan and the country’s successfulstory in becoming one of the fast-growing economies of the world.

How long do you learn Chinese and Chinese proficiency?During my time in Singapore, I recognized the importance of learning Chinese.

Being fluent in Chinese not only helped me communicate with my customers dailybut in a larger perspective, it could also be considered as a language forinternational trade, economic transaction and integration between Chinese-speaking countries. As a self-motivated individual, I learned Chinese through onlinecourses and practised speaking with my friends as soon as I arrived in Taiwan. Up tonow, I have studied Chinese for seven months. Moreover, I believe that being able tospeak Chinese will help me blend in with the Taiwanese, adapt to the environmentand integrate seamlessly into its culture.

What are your impressions on, and life in Feng-Chia University and Taiwan?

When I was young, I first got to know about Taiwan through movies, newsreleases and magazines. The beauty of a sunny island with picturesque sceneries,great food and educated people captivated my young heart. Naturally, I hoped tobe able to visit Taiwan one day.

Have you seen much of Taiwan?Is there a place where you mostwant to visit in Taiwan?

I went to some places inTaiwan but the most impressiveplace for me was Shifen OldStreet. Hope I get a chance tovisit again with my Vietnamesefriends in the near future.

While studying and living in Taiwan, Ilearned more about the Taiwanese culture –renowned for its intriguing blend of traditionand modernity, as well as the quality ofeducation in Taiwan - an open learning culturewith great prospect for international students.More importantly, Feng Chia University islocated in Taichung City, one of the threelargest cities in Taiwan. This is an ideal anddynamic learning environment for me.

Murphy老師專欄

Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition

Murphy / 莫非

The 1955–58 Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition (CTAE) was aCommonwealth-sponsored expedition that successfully completed the firstoverland crossing of Antarctica, via the South Pole. It was the first expedition toreach the South Pole overland for 46 years, preceded only by Amundsen's andScott's respective parties in 1911 and 1912.

In keeping with the tradition of polar expeditions of the "heroic age" theCTAE was a private venture, though it was supported by the governments of theUnited Kingdom, New Zealand, United States, Australia and South Africa, as wellas many corporate and individual donations, under the patronage of QueenElizabeth II. It was headed by British explorer Dr Vivian Fuchs, with NewZealander Sir Edmund Hillary leading the New Zealand Ross Sea Support team.The New Zealand party included scientists participating in InternationalGeophysical Year (IGY) research while the UK IGY team were separately based atHalley Bay.

Fuchs was knighted for his accomplishment. The second overland crossingof the continent did not occur until 1981, during the Transglobe Expedition ledby Ranulph Fiennes.

Commonwealth Trans-Antarctic Expedition

38

In December 1956 Fuchs returned on Danish Polar vessel Magga Dan withadditional supplies, and the southern summer of 1956–1957 was spentconsolidating Shackleton Base and establishing the smaller South Ice Baseabout 300 miles (480 km) inland to the south.

After spending the winter of 1957 at Shackleton Base, Fuchs finally set outon the transcontinental journey in November 1957, with a twelve-man teamtravelling in six vehicles; three Sno-Cats, two Weasels and one specially adaptedMuskeg tractor. On route, the team were also tasked with carrying out scientificresearch including seismic soundings and gravimetric readings.

In parallel Hillary's team had set upScott Base – which was to be Fuchs' final destination – on the opposite side ofthe continent at McMurdo Sound on the Ross Sea. Using three convertedMassey Ferguson TE20 tractors and one Weasel (abandoned part-way), Hillaryand his three men (Ron Balham, Peter Mulgrew and Murray Ellis), wereresponsible for route-finding and laying a line of supply depots up the SkeltonGlacier and across the Polar Plateau on towards the South Pole, for the use ofFuchs on the final leg of his journey. Other members of Hillary's team carriedout geological surveys around the Ross Sea and Victoria Land areas.

It was not originally intended that Hillary would travel as far asthe South Pole, but when he had completed laying supply depots he saw theopportunity to beat the British and continued south, reaching the Pole – wherethe US Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station had recently been established byair – on 3 January 1958. Hillary's party was just the third (preceded byAmundsen in 1911 and Scott in 1912) to reach the Pole overland. Hillary'sarrival also marked the first time that land vehicles had ever reached the Pole.

Fuchs' team reached the Pole from the opposite direction on 19 January1958, where they met up with Hillary. Fuchs then continued overland, followingthe route that Hillary had laid, while Hillary flew back to Scott Base in a USplane (he would later rejoin Fuchs by plane for part of the remaining overlandjourney). The overland party finally arrived at Scott Base on 2 March 1958,having completed the historic crossing of 3,473 km (2,158 miles) of previouslyunexplored snow and ice in 99 days. A few days later the expedition membersleft Antarctica for New Zealand on the New Zealand naval ship Endeavour. Theship was captained by Harry Kirkwood.

Although large quantities of supplies were hauled overland, both partieswere also equipped with light aircraft and made extensive use of air support forreconnaissance and supply depoting. Additional logistical help was provided byUS personnel who were working in Antarctica at that time. Both parties alsotook dog teams which were used for field work trips and backup in case offailure of the mechanical transportation – though the dogs were not taken allthe way to the Pole. In December 1957 four men from the expedition flew oneof the planes – a de Havilland Canada Otter – on an eleven-hour, 1,430-mile(2,300 km) non-stop trans-polar flight across the Antarctic continent fromShackleton Base via the Pole to Scott Base, following roughly the same route asFuchs' overland party.
