The composition of volunteers is not only included patients but also healthy subjects, which catered for the differences of research design of the trial. Thus, many ethical issues related to clinical trials have gained attention, particularly, the motivations of participating in clinical trials from healthy volunteers are crucial issue. The intention of the study is not only to understand the mainly motivation, perception and personality trait of healthy volunteers, but also to discuss the influence of demographic variables and personality trait on the motivation of volunteers participating clinical trials in Taiwan. This study was a cross-sectional survey research. The study sample included 196 healthy volunteers from three different biomedical clinical trial companies. The self-administered questionnaire contained 15 questions. The internal consistency reliability (£\) for the BFI scale was .789. One-way ANOVA and post-hoc analysis were used to examine the differences of the motivation in different demographic variables. In addition, hierarchical regression analysis was employed to investigate the determinants of different motivation. The results of the study showed most of the healthy volunteers were single male undergraduate students with age 20-24. The types of personality, openness¡Bextraversion and agreeableness, tended to be high tendentiousness. On the other hands, the subjects in neuroticism personality tended to be low tendentiousness. Moreover, the results showed the main motivation of the healthy volunteers is financial rewards, followed by free physical examination and the last is invitation by friends, respectively. According to the results of the study, the relatedness between the motivation of participating clinical trials and different variables showed that the elder subjects considered the free physical examination and promoting scientific and medical development as the mainly motivation, and showed less concern of companion invitation. Also, the subjects with higher education concerned the invitation by companion as less priority. Comparing with students, the waged volunteers showed less consideration of promoting scientific and medical development as motivation. Moreover, the healthy volunteer with average income between 10,000 to 19,999 NT considered mostly free physical examination, promotion of scientific and medical development and curiosity as the main motivation for the trial. The more involved in clinical trial the more consideration of other motivation and less concern of the invitation by companion. Furthermore, the subjects with more agreeableness personality trait tend to be more consideration of promoting scientific and medical development as their mainly motivation. In conclusion, the financial rewards is the priority consideration and shows remarkable influence to the motivation for the healthy volunteers, compared with the risk assessment and the consideration of personal health conditions. Thus, the clinical trials companies should balance between the rewards and health conditions. Particularly, the understandable and fully explanation as well informed consent before any trial implementation are necessary.

Huang, Chia-Sheng 10 August 2011 (has links)
In 2007, the Legislative Yuan enacted Act for Establishment and Management of Safety Fund for Police; Fire fighting, Coast Guards, Immigration, Airborne Service Personnel, And Assisting Civic Force (hereinafter referred to as Act for Management of Fund for Police and Civic Force, and Immigration Agency revised the Act on December 30, 2009). In consideration of modern democratic country under the rule of law, the Legislative Yuan depends on legislative procedures to manage policy on a legal basis, implement administration in accordance with law, improve administrative efficiency, accomplish social justice and safeguard rights and interests of the people. However, the police implement laws on behalf of the country, if its own applicable laws and regulations are out of accord with the times or fail to keep up with the times, troubles and disputes will be caused, and the welfare and rights and interests of internal colleagues may be damaged as well, even the prestige of government will be impacted. Therefore we must avoid this situation and also take care about the entire possible situation. Relevant sub-measures and administrative rules that the Ministry of the Interior authorized administrative authority to formulate in accordance with Act for Management of Fund for Police and Civic Force, including Regulations on the Establishment and Management of Safety Funds to Police Officers/Fire-Fighters/ Coastguards/Crewmen/Immigration of National Airborne Service Corps and Members of Volunteers Forces, Regulations Governing Issuance of Safety Funds to Police Officers/Fire-Fighters/Coastguards/Crewmen/Immigration of National Airborne Service Corps and Members of Volunteers Forces, as well as Provisions for Criteria of Civilian Labor Force Recruited by the Police and Fire Bridges; Maritime/Coastguard/ Immigration/Aviation Agencies, have been stipulated and published on records in accordance with legal operation procedures. Through investigation, there are as many as 7 funds administered by law enforcement office currently (hereinafter referred to as public security funds. It always seems to be overlapped, if orientation integration can be realized, it will save manpower and time, avoid from wasting of resources, prevent against malpractice and create the largest benefits. This is the research motive of this paper. This paper sticks to basic theory of administrative law - five major frames of principle, organization, limits of authority, relief and supervision as main discussion foundation. According to the research, based on analysis of five major frames of administrative law and due to different properties, Chinese existing public security funds can be divided into "government trust fund", "public and personal juridical person fund" and "non-operating special fund", in addition, they are different in central and local area, issuance conditions and objects, so the situation is quite complicated. If the integration is forced to carry out, it is possible to violate the law and cause rebound. If each foundation declares to dismiss by itself and return the surplus capital to national treasury, sufficient reasons will be required. Only for "relief fund for police and fire fighting personnel", the Executive Yuan shall be entitled to make resolutions of merger and dissolution at any time in accordance with the stipulations of Criterion of Special Fund Management of Central Government and Principle for Non-operating Special Fund Existence of Central Government. But taking many factors into account, it may be a fruitless approach to implement merger or dissolution in the short run.

Hsu, Hung-wei 19 August 2011 (has links)
The insurance industry in Taiwan has been more open and geared to the international standards during the recent years. At the same time, the Taiwanese and international financial industry has gone through drastic changes. Interest rate dropped and cost of material and human resource went up, leading to increased operation cost for insurance companies. In addition, the popularity of internet and elevated consumer awareness have challenged insurance companies¡¦ traditional marketing model ¡V direct sales force. Therefore, in order to cut down operation cost and expand the market, insurance companies started to develop diversified marketing channels, such as tele-marketing, bank insurance marketing, internet, TV direct sales, etc. New sales channels such as insurance agency and insurance broker also emerged at the same time. Every insurance company has different resources and competitive advantages, and hence created different marketing and operation models. Insurance companies hope to sell insurance through insurance brokers in order to lower operation cost. However, to avoid increasing bargaining power of insurance brokers, insurance companies are reluctant to overly rely on one or two insurance brokers. Insurance brokers, on the other hand, oftentimes recruit sales force from insurance companies to lower training cost. Such competition-cooperation relationship with insurance companies has shaped insurance brokers¡¦ operation model. This research is to analyze the industrial value chain within the insurance industry and to explore the potential operation models for insurance brokers via the five-force analysis of company L.
