Publication How does food market respond to natural disaster Shocks? Evidence from the cabbage wholesale market(Elsevier BV, 2025-06)The agricultural market is highly vulnerable to natural disasters. Since vegetables are highly perishable, vegetable prices fluctuate dramatically as the result of natural disaster shocks. This study examines the impacts of typhoons on fresh cabbage price and quantity using daily transaction data on the largest wholesale market in Taiwan. We pay special attention to the effects on market price and quantity in different time periods of typhoon visits. We distinguish the effects of price and quantity as a result of the changes in consumer demand and market supply. We further examine whether the sequence of the disaster shocks can result in different outcomes. Employing the difference-in-differences and event study approaches to identify the causal and dynamic effects, we find that the occurrence of typhoons had caused the cabbage market price to rise significantly. The price increases are mainly driven by consumers’ psychological expectations rather than from the supply side. In contrast, the equilibrium quantity of the cabbage market is stable because the stock releases of refrigerated imported cabbage effectively balance the domestic market needs. Finally, the availability bias theory proposed in the behavioral economics literature evidently reinforces Taiwanese consumers’ irrational stockpiling as we find that the cabbage price starts to rise earlier and stays at a high level for a longer time during the second and third typhoon hit Taiwan in the same year. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication Ap-Vas1 distribution unveils new insights into germline development in the parthenogenetic and viviparous pea aphid: from germ-plasm assembly to germ-cell clustering(2025-02-22); Adekunle AdesanyaTargeting the distribution of germ-cell markers is a widely used strategy for investigating germline development in animals. Among these markers, the vasa (vas) orthologues, which encode ATP-dependent RNA helicases, are highly conserved. Previous studies have examined asexual (parthenogenetic) and viviparous embryos of the pea aphid Acyrthosiphon pisum using a cross-reacting Vas antibody. This study utilized a specific antibody against Ap-Vas1, a Vas orthologue in the pea aphid, to gain new insights into germline development. The Ap-Vas1-specific antibody facilitates earlier detection of germ-plasm assembly at the oocyte posterior, challenging the previous assumption that germ-plasm assembly begins only at the onset of embryogenesis. Treatment of oocytes and early embryos with cytoskeleton inhibitors suggests that germ-plasm assembly primarily depends on actin, in contrast to the fly Drosophila melanogaster, where both actin and microtubules are essential. Since pea aphids lack an orthologue of osk, which encodes the protein Osk responsible for anchoring Vas to the germ plasm in Drosophila, this suggests that pea aphids employ distinct mechanisms for osk- and microtubule-independent formation of the germ plasm. Moreover, the clustering of germ cells into germarium-like structures in the extraembryonic region before entering the embryos suggests a gonad formation process different from that in Drosophila, where germ cells begin to cluster into germaria after settling within the embryonic gonads. Therefore, the analysis of the Ap-Vas1 distribution provides a deeper understanding of germline development in asexual pea aphids, uncovering novel aspects of parthenogenetic and viviparous reproduction in insects.

Publication Gut microbiota dysbiosis-related susceptibility to nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease(2024); ; ; ; ; The role of gut microbiota in host defense against nontuberculous mycobacterial lung disease (NTM-LD) was poorly understood. Here, we showed significant gut microbiota dysbiosis in patients with NTM-LD. Reduced abundance of was significantly associated with NTM-LD and its disease severity. Compromised TLR2 activation activity in feces and plasma in the NTM-LD patients was highlighted. In the antibiotics-treated mice as a study model, gut microbiota dysbiosis with reduction of TLR2 activation activity in feces, sera, and lung tissue occurred. Transcriptomic analysis demonstrated immunocompromised in lung which were closely associated with increased NTM-LD susceptibility. Oral administration of or its capsular polysaccharides enhanced TLR2 signaling, restored immune response, and ameliorated NTM-LD susceptibility. Our data highlighted the association of gut microbiota dysbiosis, systematically compromised immunity and NTM-LD development. TLR2 activation by or its capsular polysaccharides might help prevent NTM-LD.506Scopus© Citations 1 - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings

Publication 東亞區域法律繼受與法律發展─東亞各國人民與政府的法律觀(2/2)(臺北市：國立臺灣大學法律學系暨研究所, 2000)This project focuses on the legal consciousness of the people and the states in four East-Asian countries: Japan, South Korea, China, and Taiwan. These four 2 countries are all deeply influenced by Confuciousnism with different developing stages of political, economic, and legal changes. This project explores their social-polical backgrounds for legal reform and then deals with specific cases such as environmental pollution, feminism, and labor-management disputes to indentify the people's and the states' legal conciousness in these countries.1 886
