This study aimed to establish a friendly environment of active living and healthy eating for citizens while promoting and increasing knowledge of healthy exercise. Acquisition of physical activity skills and citizens’ lifestyle changes result in reduction in rates of obesity and deaths related to underlying metabolism syndrome. This study used a non-experimental cross-sectional design to survey residents living in Taiwan’s rural Miaoli County. The inclusion criterion was positive screening for metabolic syndrome. In total, 2068 participants were recruited, and 1886 questionnaires (91.2%) were completed. An organization-spreading strategy and home convenient Lifestyles of Health and Sustainability tactic were applied to the assessment, promotion, evaluation, and planning of the project via an obesity-causing environmental scan, oriental synergy aerobics, acupuncture points massage, guide books, broadcasting, town-based “shape-it-station”, and a vending cart created to facilitate the acquisition of healthy foods. After the intervention, results revealed that health condition, regular exercise habits, diet behavior, metabolic syndrome cognition, and body weight became better than before. Appropriate promotion of healthy cities through public health measures may effectively reduce the threat of death due to metabolic syndrome, which in turn reduces overall, and represents successful control of a typical non-communicable disease.
Abstract-This work proposes an EV charging management mechanismand utilizes the scheduling systems for the charging stations to determine when to store electricity into batteries according to the real-time electricity price and charging requirement of EVs. A charging suggestion module is presented in this work to locate the most suitable charging station or battery exchange station for the EVs according to the available information in hand. When an EV cannot reach at any charging station due to the lack of electricity, a mobile charging vehicle management module is used to assisting the EV in finding a suitable mobile charging vehicle for recharging. The experimental results show that the proposed work can balance the loading of battery charging and exchange stations, and lower the load peak to make electricity cost down. Besides, the proposed charging suggestion module can decrease the driving distance of EVs for finding the charging stations and the waiting time wasted while charging. The mobile charging vehicle management module can effectively prevent EVs from halting on the road owing to running out of the electricity.
With the popularity and technology improving of the Internet, customers could get a variety of information anytime. But, searching information may more difficult because of the information richness and diversity. Therefore, shopping online is more prone to expectancy-disconfirmation the problem. In addition, Internet companies usually do not provide effective mechanisms for shopping. It makes customer's shopping process time-consuming. Therefore, Internet companies can not accurately capture customer needs and product information, and can not provide effective personalized product services. This study proposes customization strategy based on personal online shopping products, customers only need to set preferences and the Internet companies can filter information on the goods as well as analysis. It can help customers quickly find the goods, and help Internet companies manage their sale strategy based on customer preferences.
