200725 Parental Burnout: What Is It, Why Does It Matter, and How Could We Treat It?

Title:
Parental Burnout: What Is It, Why Does It Matter, and How Could We Treat It?

Keywords:
Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Health Psychology, Personality and Individual Difference, Parent, Parenting Stress, Burnout, Parental Role

Abstract:
Parenting can be enjoyable. Nevertheless, it may also lead to stress or even end up in parental burnout— a condition characterized by overwhelming exhaustion related to one’s parental role, emotional distancing from one’s children, and a loss of parental fulfillment. Recent decades have seen drastically parenting culture change: the increasing social pressure on parents and the lower respect or appreciation from children have made parenting increasingly challenging. Unsurprisingly then, it is more often than before that parental resources could not balance the demands. When this condition lasts chronically, parental burnout may be developed. Although parental burnout is still an emerging topic in Psychological Science, it has become a focus of systematic study by more than 100 researchers from 45 countries all over the world. Through these burgeoning studies, I would introduce “parental burnout” and focus on the following questions: (1) what is it, (2) why does it matter, and (3) how could we treat it?

Abstract:
隨著再生能源與電動車產業日漸成熟的發展，高功率能源材料的需求也隨之增加。在電動車能源的應用上，由於傳統電池功率上的不足，往往需要搭配超級電容器一起使用，以同時達到啟動與傳動能源供應的需求。反之，超級電容器雖然具有高功率的輸出特性，但材料本身能源密度過低以及自放電的缺點，導致必須搭配傳統電池才得以有效率的儲存再生能源。擬電容材料具有和傳統電池材料相當的能量密度，同時也可提供超級電容器相當的高功率輸出，因此在近年來備受關注。在這次的報告中，我們將討論如何藉由電極材料的設計來達到擬電容的特性，藉此提高材料在高功率使用下的實用性及穩定性。我們首先以五氧化二鈮為主題，探討此材料在不同碳材成分整合上的擬電容特性。此研究中我們最佳化了碳基五氧化二鈮複合材料的儲能特性，並在功率輸出及能量密度間找到最佳的平衡。接著我們也以氟磷酸釩鈉為主題，探討其顆粒大小對擬電容特性及儲能功率的影響，然後搭配五氧化二鈮進行全電池的測試，並證明此材料應用於植入式醫療器材電池的可行性。

Abstract:
In this talk, the background of solid-state bonding techniques will be firstly introduced, such as diffusion bonding, friction welding and so on. Among of them, ultrasonic welding (USW) is a bonding technique having versatility of bonding dissimilar materials with short welding time and lower bonding temperature. Regarding interfacial phenomena during USW, plastic deformation, recrystallization, and the formation of IMC due to frictional heat and direct contact have been investigated, but the understandings of those interfacial phenomena correlated to bonding strength evolution are still limited, which are highly relevant to the practical use of USW. This talk will focus on explaining the relationship between bonding development and bonding strength evolution in joining steel and other metals using USW. For this purpose, several kinds of metals (Ni, Al, Ti) with various conditions are employed to be joined with steel. Interfacial phenomena occurred between dissimilar metals are correlated with bonding strength evolution from the early stage to the achievement of bonding, including severe plastic deformation, material transfer, phase transformation. The understandings obtained from this work provide a further viewpoint on joining dissimilar metals by using solid-state bonding.
