Reproductive contributions of Taiwan´s foreign wives from the top five source countries
Date received: | 30 Jun 2010 |
Date published: | 27 Apr 2011 |

Keywords: | fertility, international marriage, international migration, reproductive contribution, Taiwan |
DOI: | 10.4054/DemRes.2011.24.26 |
This research studies the reproductive contributions of Taiwan's foreign wives from China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, and the Philippines, based on applications of the multinomial logit model to the micro data of the 2003 Census of Foreign Spouses. Wives from China are found to have the lowest lifetime fertility of 1.4 children, mainly because they were more prone to marry later, have a very large spousal age gap, be separated or divorced, and have their current marriage be their second marriage. The effect of wife's educational attainment on lifetime fertility turned out to be either modest or nonexistent.

A Mentor and a Role Model
Gertrude Elion, 1918 - 1999
Never very comfortable with scientific luminaries, Elion preferred to spend time with students. Speaking often to young people from elementary through medical school, she communicated the fun and excitement of science. "It's a wonderful life," she said. "I don't think I could have chosen anything that would have made me happier. I don't think people emphasize that enough—they think about the scientist as someone stuck away in the laboratory and oblivious to the rest of the world. That's the farthest thing from the truth. I feel as though I've made a contribution with my life." Urging her listeners not to be deterred from following their dreams, she often quoted Admiral Farragut: "Damn the torpedoes! Full speed ahead!"
Elion acquired a widespread reputation as an inspiring, approachable, down-to-earth mentor to students, assistants, and colleagues. She encouraged her staff to explore their own ideas and made it a point never to take credit for her assistants' work; unlike most scientists, she did not put her name on papers simply because the research had been done in her lab. Always a team player, she cared far more about the outcome of the lab's collective work than about her own reputation.
Elion never felt she needed female role models and preferred to be known simply as a "scientist" rather than as a "female scientist." She was acutely aware, however, of the difficulties she had encountered because of her sex, and she recognized that the Nobel Prize put her in a unique position to smooth the way for other women. Encouraging girls to pursue scientific careers was a cause dear to her heart; she was a leader of a Glaxo Wellcome (successor to Burroughs Wellcome) program that provided mentoring and scholarships for women studying science, and when Burroughs Wellcome gave her $250,000 to contribute to a charity of her choice, she created a scholarship at Hunter College for female graduate students in chemistry.

In this fast paced world we live in, every organization has a responsibility to provide customers with the highest quality experience possible. Long gone are the days of traditional advertising and branding approaches. To stand out we need to keep up, we need to break the rules and we need to inspire our audience.
Branding goes beyond a logo and consistent look. Telling a story that inspires people to interact and gain an emotional connection with your brand is essential. Discover where and who your potential customers are, inspire them and make them part of your dream.
Be it a new website, web app, newsletter template or landing page that represents your brand and the efforts behind it, its all part of telling your story. Quality design is more than beauty, its a balance between aesthetics, business goals and user expectations.
In a social and digital world, everything changes at exponential speed. With virtually unlimited avenues to support any brand, measuring the success and failure of any effort to gain knowledge that can be put towards the next project is a must. Fast adaption and iteration is everything.

Why complex Cloud Computing works best as an End-to-End-solution.
We're not going to bore you with the 10,000th cloud computing story. But before we officially announce the end of the hype, we want to be sure that we have truly understood the cloud. Inside out. Starting with the question: why do companies decide to go the cloud route in the first place? And we want to explain why this model is most effective when it is integrated with processes and people as an end-to-end chain – one that consists of four elements: Server and storage infrastructure, network, applications and devices.
Complex legacy systems
But not all providers are up to the job of migrating complex legacy systems, integrating disparate data and mobile-enabling apps. Because in these scenarios, it is all about identifying and understanding the key issues. In other words, it's about developing a holistic approach to the cloud that takes into account the interdependencies between the IT architecture, processes, security and availability. This is the only way for IT to be a true enabler and to accelerate the business.
We profile three companies that leverage cloud computing in exciting ways:
Duropack: Application performance management - it's a wrap
WAN traffic finds the perfect wave.
Dietmar Fink is a true expert when it comes to waves. After all, corrugated cardboard is all about finding the right waves. "Our data traffic also comes and goes in waves. This used to get in the way of our business goals," explains Fink, CIO at Duropack. The Austrian enterprise manufactures over 1,500 cardboard products for transport and packaging – from gift boxes to heavy-duty cardboard pallet containers – at 18 production sites in ten European countries. Products are distributed via a truck fleet that has been outsourced. The corresponding processes are closely aligned with the logistics needs of customers. A high priority is extremely short time to delivery. "Reliable communication and collaboration across our international sites was becoming increasingly important," comments Fink. "Our main aim was to increase productivity by accelerating our IT processes."
Limited data throughput
Data throughput was limited, particularly for complex applications such as the home-grown production management system. Traffic was also sluggish on weekday mornings when Duropack staff came into the office and fired up their computers, and at crunch time for end-of-month or end-of-year reporting – times when financial data volume peaks.
Increase application availability
Fink's solution: "We had to improve our networks' bandwidth, and increase application availability." In particular, he wanted a solution that would accelerate transmission of data and applications across the WAN, enable application consolidation, and lower total cost of ownership (TCO) by means of greater visibility into the corporate network. "We also needed a traffic prioritization system that recognizes what data must be transmitted at what speed – and that can be configured to reflect our requirements," adds the IT decision maker.
APM: Compression ratio 70 %
Working together with IT provider T-Systems, Fink deployed an application performance management (APM) solution for the company's five-year-old MPLS network. Today, he describes this event as a breakthrough. Thanks to APM, the compression ratio is now 70 percent. This dramatically decreased the WAN's data traffic, cutting bandwidth use by 75 percent. What's more, performance of all existing applications has significantly improved. "Feedback from our sites indicates a high level of user satisfaction," says Fink. And, even more important for the CIO: "We now have Central Management Console reports with key metrics on how well data traffic is performing."
Ironing out the speed bumps
Central Management Console (CMC), the APM solution implemented by T-Systems, enables central configuration, management and reporting for all applications. "This gives us anytime visibility into application performance on our WAN," explains the CIO, adding: "And we have virtually eliminated the problem with latency as a function of distance." And Fink didn't stop at creating a strong network as a backbone for cloud services. He also took a critical look at the application level – to iron out any speed bumps.
Tailoring networks to applications
Making changes to the application landscape requires preparation. Take email traffic, for example. Duropack's client-server communication is encrypted. This means that the APM solution must 'know' all application specifications such as the encryption code. Fink explains: "We tailored the networks to the applications and vice versa. This was crucial for achieving our technology-related goals: cutting costs and increasing productivity. This, in turn, had a positive impact on our business processes.
Magna: Growth on Wheel
PaaS delivers storage capacity and applications.
Meerane in the German state of Saxony, directly next to the A4 autobahn. René Schreiner is pleased with progress at his 50,000 m² construction site: "Everything's going to plan," confirms the IT manager at automotive supplier Magna. In September, Volkswagen will begin producing its new Golf here. Between now and then, Schreiner is coordinating the integration of IT at a Magna plant that will manufacture fenders for the 8th generation of the world's most popular car. The factory will employ 250 people – and they must be ready to start work the moment the VW goes into production. Because Magna will supply components for the car just-in-time. And that means every fender is destined for a particular Golf and will be delivered straight to the assembly line.
IT resources for several hundred thousand automotive products
Whether it's 100 different fenders in Meerane or 2,000 types of door trim for a Mercedes in Bremen, effectively planning IT resources for several hundred thousand automotive products worldwide presents Schreiner and team with a fresh challenge every day. Not least because Magna is strengthening its market position each year through mergers and acquisitions. As Schreiner explains, both of Magna's goals – strategic growth and seamless just-in-time delivery – require timely provision of storage and server capacity and high availability of specialist applications for car parts manufacture.
Ongoing portfolio enhancement
In line with this business strategy and in light of ongoing portfolio enhancement, Magna succeeds in getting IT systems for new production plants up and running within a matter of weeks, and integrates new acquisitions into its infrastructure in record time. This year alone, Schreiner and his colleagues are managing 17 of these greenfield and brownfield projects (see feature, page 26). Cloud computing is the only IT model with the level of flexibility Magna needs to meet its rapidly changing requirements. And that is why, since 2011, the company has made use of virtualized servers and storage from T-Systems. "The open interfaces provided by the standardized PaaS systems enable us to integrate applications and hardware whenever a new production facility goes live," comments Schreiner.
Preparation for the transition to the cloud
In preparation for the transition to the cloud, T-Systems consolidated Magna's entire application landscape. In addition, the automotive supplier leverages Application Management and Modernization (AMM) to streamline all systems. Each time Magna makes a new acquisition, Schreiner is confronted with legacy solutions that have to be migrated to the cloud. And AMM can help here too.
Consistent and continuous quality management
Alexander Stamm, Schreiner's team leader and IT Director for Europe at Magna, believes the success of the PaaS project is also down to another key factor: "The SLAs we've defined with T-Systems enable consistent and continuous quality management. They guarantee high availability with no bottlenecks at any of the interfaces."
Deutsche Telekom: Apps that hit the road
iWorld@DT and AppWorld@DT – between networks, applications and devices.
During his meeting with the customer, Kai Kyhrt checks availability and delivery time on his iPad. "We can deliver a week earlier than expected," he confirms to the CIO who immediately places an order. Even before Kyhrt gets back in his car, he concludes the order process and kicks off the internal logistics process.
Mobile access to the right data and applications
According to IDC, in just three years almost 40 percent of the working population, some 1.3 billion people, will work like Kyhrt – on the move via notebook, smartphone and tablet. As Kyhrt explains, "Whether our sales people and consultants are presenting a VoIP telephone system, a connection to a new, super-fast optical fiber network, or the latest teleconferencing solution, they need access to the right data and applications. It is a key competitive differentiator."
Enterpriseapp store
Since the start of this year, Deutsche Telekom has provided employees with applications from the cloud via a dedicated enterprise app store. From ERP and CRM for mobile order entry, to facts and figures for senior management reports – everything is available to go. Sales teams can call up the latest versions of proposals and delivery data, and view updates to presentations and sales statistics. "There won't be an app for everything," says Harald Pietsch, Head of Integration Management and responsible for enterprise mobility solutions at T-Systems. Rather he recommends: "Regularly checking the innovation potential of mobile apps for deployment on smartphones and tablets. This is the only way to continuously drive the mobilization of business processes."
How can mission-critical data be made secure?
For Deutsche Telekom, security plays a central role – regardless of operating system or device. Just like in other organizations, the BYOD trend is gaining momentum. And just like in other organizations, it gives rise to important questions: how can mission-critical data be made secure? How can private data be segregated from business data? And how can valuable information be protected even if a device is lost or stolen? Sales staff like Kyhrt access data and applications via a secure mobility platform. All communications are encrypted and transmitted via a private cloud. The platform ensures data segregation. For example, employees can save non-critical data such as product presentations on their devices. But valuable information such as customer and order data is saved exclusively in a private cloud. And if a device goes astray, data can be wiped remotely via T-Systems Mobile Device Management.
A-Z mobility solution from a single provider
"Today's companies want a comprehensive, A-Z mobility solution from a single provider," explains Hagen Rickmann, Member of T-Systems Management Board and responsible for portfolio and innovation management. "Operating mobile devices and integrating them into existing systems requires an end-to-end approach. Smartphones and tablets must be hooked up to the back-end and to business applications via highly effective, secure infrastructures. Otherwise they act as isolated entities and play no role in streamlining business processes. T-Systems Mobile Workplace Services is a truly comprehensive solution. What's more, we deliver Mobile Device Management from the cloud that enterprises can leverage to manage their devices themselves. Both of these offerings are available at a fixed price."

Why was Tweetvisor created?
We've finally decided to share with you the main reason for why we've created Tweetvisor.
You need to know from the very beginning that creating some yet another fancy Twitter application that just lets you tweet and receive replies and DMs was not our initial thought.
Well, the reason we started creating Tweetvisor back in late December [...]

Your first hour with any tutor is always 100% refundable!
I have limitless patience in assisting students in grades 3 through 6 with all subjects. Math, writing, and study skills are my favorites, but I enjoy working with students to improve their skills in all subjects. I can also tutor all ages of ESL students in conversation, reading, and writing. With more than 25 years of experience in teaching grades 3 through 6, working with ESL students of all ages, and teaching piano and general music, I am good at explaining concepts, practicing skills, and helping students use their strengths to overcome their weaknesses. Using games and online activities are two of the best ways I've found to help 21st century learners strengthen academic skills, but I'm also flexible and want to work with each student to discover how he or she learns best.
Reading is important for success in every other subject in school, so it's essential that students be able to read with fluency and comprehension. Skills such as picking out key ideas, determining meaning of words within the context of a passage, and rephrasing sentences or paragraphs are skills that good readers share; all three can be improved with practice and guidance.
I've taught ESL students of all ages, from pre-school through adult. Most of my students have been college students or working adults. I've studied linguistics and am knowledgeable about how people learn languages. Vocabulary, spelling, and grammar are only part of learning to speak English; idioms, usage, and conversation are equally important, but difficult to learn on one's own. I'd be happy to help you improve your skills in English for everyday uses, school, or work.
Math is more fun than just about any other subject! If you like games and puzzles, you can learn to like math. From addition and subtraction, to multiplication and division, basic math facts need to be rock solid in order to be successful when moving on to decimals, fractions, percentages, probability, and into pre-algebra. Solving word problems is another sticking point for many students. However, with a few handy tips and lots of practice, students can learn to find the clues and become successful... Read More
As an experienced classroom teacher with a California Clear Multiple Subjects Teaching Credential I can help students in grades K through 8 in reading, writing, spelling, grammar, and social studies. I can also help students with basic math and science.
I have both a BA and an MA in music. I have taught both class and private piano for many years.
Good study skills often mean the difference between academic success and academic struggle. During the course of my career I've helped countless students learn how to organize their papers, materials, and time, as well as teaching them how to preview and find the key facts in reading assignments. I can help students break big projects down into manageable chunks and set intermediate goals so they can complete even the biggest project by the due date. Other important study skills include note taking,... Read More

CD/LP/Track Review
Jeff Pittson: Go Where It's Dangerous
A lot of jazz fans turn right off at the mere mention of electronic effects. So let's get this out of the way: While Jeff Pittson uses a full array of computers, samplers and other electronics to augment his music, this is essentially a piano album. And a pretty good one at that.
Pittson's (acoustic) piano is almost always in the foreground on the 10 selections here nine originals, plus a tender reading of Nino Rota's "Godfather" theme. He's a marvelously talented pianist with a light touch at the keyboard. His compositions are lush, romantic portraits that owe as much to modern classical music as to Herbie Hancock and Chick Corea.
In addition to all the keyboards, Pittson also plays bass and percussion. Wally Schnalle helps out on drums, but the rest is all Pittson. The electronics are used mostly in the background, to create moods and add textures. They're never obtrusive, and while I'm not certain they're vital to his overall sound, they do help set it apart from the norm.
Vineland Records: PO Box 880397, San Francisco, CA 94188-0397

The 2007 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon weaves warm aromas of cassis and tobacco into a bright canvas of raspberry, plum, and currant notes. On the palate, flavors of black cherry and boysenberry meet hints of vanilla, bay, and mocha beneath a generous structure of round, mouth-filling tannins. This big, brambly wine with bold mountain character is richly expressed with layers evolving through the full, lingering finish.
