1. In 2022, 30 faculty members from NCUE executed a total of 13 government department projects. In 2023, this increased to 21 faculty members executing a total of 22 government department projects. The details are as follows:
(1) Four faculty members assisted with four projects under the "Economy" theme:
(a) Professor Peng Chih-Wei from the Department of Accounting is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2023/08/01 to 2025/01/31, titled “How Does Organization Identification Affect ESG Performance and Disclosure Quality?”
The implementation of Corporate Governance 3.0 in Taiwan strengthens listed companies’ capacity to advance the quality of reports disclosing ESG information. However, there are divergent views in academic literature and practice regarding why companies should engage in ESG activities and improve ESG disclosure quality.
This project attempts to examine, from an organizational behavior perspective, how organizational identification influences ESG performance and disclosure decisions of listed companies in Taiwan. The project aims to fill gaps in the literature, and the research findings are expected to provide valuable references for regulatory authorities in formulating industry policies.
(b) Professor Pai Feng-yun from the Department of Business Administration is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2023/08/01 to 2025/01/31, titled “Resilience under Covid-19 Epidemic- Building Supply Chain Resilience in Bicycle Manufacturing Industry.”
In recent years, supply chains have often been disrupted due to natural disasters and human-made events. Taiwan's bicycle industry, which heavily relies on foreign partners, has been deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic that broke out in 2020. Supply chain resilience not only enables companies to detect supply risks and respond to supply disruption events but also to recover quickly from these events. This project analyzes how the bicycle industry can build supply chain resilience and examines the impact of supply chain resilience on operational performance.
(c) Professor Juan Yu-lin of the Department from Electrical Engineering is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2023/08/01 to 2024/07/31, titled “Development of a two-phase parallel wireless battery charging system for electric scooters.”
The key research outcomes of this project include multi-phase parallel design for wireless chargers, phase-switching control to enhance light-load efficiency, hybrid resonant compensation, and coil misalignment compensation. In terms of social and economic impact, these advancements can provide relevant industries with technologies for wireless charging systems, coil design, and efficiency improvements, enhancing autonomous research and development capabilities. It will also help promote the application of wireless charging technology in electric vehicles, responding to the government's energy-saving and carbon-reduction policies.Academically, it is expected to secure patents, publish research results in international journals, and train graduate students in the final stage of the project.
(d) Associate Professor Chen Ching-mu from the Department of Geography is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2022/08/01 to 2023/07/31, titled “Life Cycle Assessment of Pig Production with Biogas Utilization: The Case Study in Changhua.”
The pig farming industry meets human dietary needs for animal protein. However, with the rise of environmental awareness, the public is increasingly holding livestock production to higher standards. As environmental impact assessment methodologies have evolved—from carbon and water footprints to the environmental footprint now promoted by the European Union—their application has expanded beyond manufacturing to a wide range of industries. These environmental footprints use life cycle assessment for systematic analysis, compiling and evaluating the inputs, outputs, and potential environmental impacts throughout a product system's life cycle, from raw material acquisition to final disposal. This research applies these advanced methodologies to analyze the environmental impact of biogas reuse in pig farming, taking those farms in Changhua County as a case study. The findings are expected to provide valuable insights for sustainable practices in the livestock industry and inform policy-making for environmental protection in agricultural sectors.
(2) Two faculty members are contributing to projects under the "Law" theme:
(a) Professor Chang Wen-ching from the Department of Accounting is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2023/11/01 to 2024/10/31, titled “Does Litigation Experience Improve Audit Partners’ Audit Quality?”
In audit academic research, Chy et al. (2021) called for future studies to explore the relationship between the legal environment and auditor behavior. This study responds to their call by providing new evidence. It also adds to the empirical evidence supporting the "litigation avoidance" theory (Khurana and Raman 2004). There is little empirical evidence on whether the litigation system can prompt negligent parties to improve their audit quality. Moreover, current audit litigation literature only provides evidence at the accounting firm or branch level (Lennox and Li 2014; Schmidt 2009). This study extends this evidence to the level of individual partner accountants. Regarding practical implications, when investors evaluate an auditor’s audit quality, they should not only consider their past error records but also gather information on any disciplinary actions (such as lawsuits) they have faced. This comprehensive approach will help assess potential changes in their future audit quality.
(b) Associate Professor Li Huan-yi of the Department of Accounting is leading a National Science and Technology Council project from August 1, 2023, to June 30, 2025, titled "The Effects of the Implementation of Act for the Development of Biotech and Pharmaceutical Industry and the amendment to Statute for Industrial Innovation on Firm Innovation, Investment Efficiency, and Firm Value.
Implemented in 2022, the Act for the Development of Biotech and New Pharmaceuticals Industry has incorporated biotech contract manufacturing into the scope of tax incentives, added equipment investment deductions, and included subsidies for advanced medical technologies. Since its implementation in 2010, the Statute for Industrial Innovation has undergone multiple amendments. The tax incentives provided by these two acts have played an important role in the R&D investment and industrial development of Taiwanese enterprises. This project will analyze the impact of the implementation of the Act for the Development of Biotech and New Pharmaceuticals Industry and significant amendments to the Statute for Industrial Innovation on the innovation, investment efficiency, and company value of listed companies in Taiwan. The research results can serve as a reference for the government in formulating tax policies related to investment deductions and for corporate tax management.
(3) Nine faculty members assisted with nine projects under the "Technology" theme:
(a) Professor Liu Min-ying of the Department from Chemistry is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2023/08/01 to 2024/12/31, titled “Investigation of the binding reactions between oxidized 1-palmitoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-glycero-3- phosphocholine and human apolipoproteins by low-flow capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry.”
The purpose of this research is to investigate the binding reaction between oxidized PAPC and human high-density lipoprotein carrier proteins. We will use low-flow capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry analysis and cyclodextrin-capillary micellar electrokinetic chromatography to analyze the binding products. We have recently successfully developed these two analysis methods. In this study, low-flow capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry analysis will be used to investigate oxidized PAPC and binding products, while cyclodextrin-capillary micellar electrokinetic chromatography will be used to investigate high-density lipoprotein carrier proteins and binding products. We hope this research can discover which carrier proteins bind with oxidized PAPC.

(5) Five faculty members assisted with six projects under the "Climate Change" theme:
(a) Assistant Professor Wu Chia-hsuan from the Master's Program in Applied Artificial Intelligence Technologies is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2023/02/01 to 2024/01/31, titled “Designe of a solar power system with ripple compensation and batteries voltage controllable functions.”
This project proposes a solar power generation system that integrates both ripple compensation and energy storage battery voltage control functions. It focuses on controlling a solar AC power supply system with a parallel energy storage architecture. The project uses a proposed ripple compensation and power control device, along with maximum power point tracking to store excess energy provided to AC loads in batteries. Simultaneously, this device compensates for low-frequency harmonics generated by the inverter, allowing solar modules to operate stably at the maximum power point. The project employs a battery voltage regulation converter to adjust the battery pack voltage, reducing the voltage difference between solar modules and battery packs, thus lowering the current stress requirements on the converter. Additionally, during nighttime operation, the system uses the battery voltage regulation converter to provide sufficiently high voltage from the battery pack directly through the inverter to AC loads, achieving higher system energy conversion efficiency. Finally, the project will complete a 900W prototype to verify the aforementioned functions.
(b) Professor Tu Chien-yi of the Department from Geography is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2023/08/01 to 2024/07/31, titled “Impacts of Large-scale Circulation Changes on Precipitation in the Asian Monsoon Region under Global Warming (II).”
Taiwan is located in one of the world's most significant monsoon regions. The long-range moisture transport associated with the vigorous southwest airflow in summer often brings abundant precipitation to Taiwan, sometimes leading to disasters. Therefore, understanding the long-term changes in the monsoon system is crucial. This project plans to start with observational data analysis and extend to evaluating the potential impacts of Asian monsoon circulation changes on regional rainfall under future warming scenarios. The research results will help us further understand the potential effects of monsoon circulation changes on precipitation in monsoon regions and assist in future disaster prevention and water resource allocation in Taiwan.
(c) Professor Wang Su-fen of the Department from Geography is executing a National Science and Technology Council project from 2023/08/01 to 2024/07/31, titled “Constructing an evaluation framework for large-scale landscape changes and ecosystem services using remote sensing (2/3).”
This project focuses on the impact of land-use changes on ecosystem services. By using remote sensing as a tool to quantify the relationship between land-use changes processes and ecosystem services, the project aims to provide a basis for future estimates of converting ecological function values into economic output. Applying remote sensing technology to establish methods for estimating ecosystem services is suitable for large-scale spatial assessments. Integrating the technique of interpreting multi-temporal images can capture dynamic changes in land cover classification, more accurately quantifying the environmental impact caused by land-use patterns. Assessing the ecological value of agricultural and fishery lands and natural wetlands can ensure the maintenance of domestic agricultural production and local industrial patterns. Moreover, recognizing ecological benefits that lack direct economic value can provide estimates of potential hidden environmental costs caused by development. This approach connects with other subprojects to introduce scientific data into local communities and governments, strengthening the practical application of academic knowledge and avoiding inappropriate land-use development.
