The vital factors contributing to the growth of the krill oil market are its growing demand in the pharmaceutical industry and its usage as dietary supplements in increasing applications. Krill Oil contains Omega 3 fatty acids which are considered essential for healthy development. It is widely used in infant food products and other pharmaceutical products due to its health benefits. Besides, increasing health concerns and awareness are also expected to induce the krill oil market.

Krill oil comprises fats that help reduce swelling, maintain low cholesterol, and avoid blood clotting by making blood platelets less sticky. The health-related benefits offered by krill oil and adoption of a healthy lifestyle are likely to drive the demand during the projection period. Besides, the growing acceptance of krill oil as a substitute for fish oil is enhancing the demand for krill oil. However, rising pollution in the sea threatens the species and population of krill, which may hinder the growth of the market. “The Key drivers of the Krill Oil Market are Demand for Omega 3 products and An increasing number of cancer patients.” Omega-3 products are essential as dietary additions for the requirement of fatty acids of the human body.

Besides, the use of Omega 3 is vital in food, pharmaceutical, and animal feed industries. The omega-3 products are obtained from numerous sources like fish oil, krill oil, and algal oil. Presently, omega-3 fatty acid resulting from fish oil is commercially available while other sources of Omega-3 have not received acceptance among consumers.

立人附幼師生共學閩南語。（記者羅玉如攝）記者羅玉如∕台南報導

國家語言發展法將在今年八月一日起施行十二年國教課綱部定課程。教育局表示，南市超過半數民眾以閩南語為主要語言。在優勢閩南語環境配合下，已有六所公私立幼兒園推動閩南語融入教學活動，讓幼兒以貼近生活的語言跟長輩溝通，贏得家長認同。

教育局長鄭新輝表示，一一0學年度計有麻豆幼兒園、第三幼兒園、新市幼兒園、立人國小附幼、成大員工子女及市府員工子女非營利幼兒園等校，參與推動閩南語沉浸式教學。其中麻豆幼兒園推動閩南語沉浸式教學已經長達六年。

麻豆幼兒園園長呂崟指出，該校透過豐富的情境布置、辦理各種活動、鼓勵老師使用閩南語與孩子對話等，營造有趣的閩南語學習環境。第一年只有兩個班級加入，現在全園六班都參與。孩子們回家都能使用閩南語和長輩溝通，也會分享在學校學到的閩南語俗諺或唸謠，讓家長感到欣喜。部分老師從不會說閩南語，到現在拿到閩南語檢定證書，師生雙方都有顯著成長。

立人國小校長王富美表示，立人附幼位處市區，原本孩子和老師的閩南語口說能力都不理想。申請閩南語沉浸式計畫後，師生共學閩南語，在生活中自然使用，進步很多。立人附幼主任張美芸說，該校提供閩南語環境，讓孩子在自然情境下多聽多說。幼兒園辦理任何活動，也改用閩南語進行。親子運動會主持人用閩南語主持，並設計閩南語親子律動，家長也以閩南語回應。年輕世代家長非常支持閩南語沉浸式教學，在家會使用閩南語跟孩子對話，成效卓著。

〔記者邱俊福／台北報導〕北市林森北路巷道內一家酒吧，情人節當天凌晨有酒客酒醉失態，言語挑釁他桌酒客後，遭對方怒丟擲酒瓶，導致頭部挫傷，轄區北市警中山分局中一派出所據報後，派員到場先在巷口逮捕動手的何姓男子，事後再陸續通知其他涉案7人，分依違反刑法妨害秩序、社會秩序維護法移請台北地檢署偵辦。

警方調查，本月14日凌晨4時許，邱姓男子與友人2人於林森北路條通內酒吧消費時，邱男疑似因酒後失態、出言挑釁另一桌何姓男子等人，何男這一方原不以為意，但前往廁所時又碰到邱男，且遭邱男拉扯上衣，雙方於是在酒吧內扭打，衍生肢體衝突。

何男非常不滿，隨即動手持酒瓶猛砸邱男，店家見狀立刻上前制止，將頭部被玻璃劃傷的邱男帶去廁所躲避，何等8人隨後一轟而散。

轄區警方獲報後迅速派員到場，雖未發現何男等人，為避免影響周邊民眾安寧，乃加派警力於周邊加強巡視，不久在巷口逮獲何男，事後再持續通知相關涉案7人全數到案，依法究辦。

〔記者葉永騫／屏東報導〕民進黨屏東縣長初選即將展開，三強競爭激烈。周春米昨合體立委蘇巧慧，一起會勘屏東榮總工程進度，莊瑞雄則是一大早站街頭拉票，鍾佳濱獲前縣長曹啟鴻支持。

屏東榮總今年即將完工啟用，立委周春米邀請衛環委員會的蘇巧慧一同會勘工程進度，希望給屏東人最完善醫療照顧，也對行政院長蘇貞昌大力支持表示感謝。

蘇巧慧表示，她和周春米都是屏東的女兒，屏東女兒都做總統了，但屏東還沒出過女縣長，女性特質當首長「正當時」，屏東在歷屆縣長努力下有很好的基礎建設，現在要靠協調、耐心和溫暖的特質把大家凝聚在一起，讓屏東向前，昨天是特別南下替周春米加油打氣。

前縣長曹啟鴻為了大力推薦立委鍾佳濱選縣長，昨天號召以往的縣府團隊及老朋友一起在大花農場聚會，與會者都表達了解鍾的行事風格，認為鍾佳濱對於屏東的了解及未來的發展有長遠的計畫。

立委莊瑞雄昨天在屏東往高屏大橋方向的建國路口拜票，向前往高雄上班的屏東鄉親訴求讓屏東超越高雄的主張和理念，爭取民眾的支持。

國民黨屏東人選朱：肯定蘇清泉深耕地方

民進黨如火如荼，至於國民黨的縣長人選，黨主席朱立倫昨到屏東縣黨部新春團拜時表示，前立委蘇清泉長期在地方經營，一步一腳印，予以加油肯定。朱並強調，這次的選舉是打團體戰，國民黨會推出好人才。

〔記者蔡宗憲／屏東報導〕武漢肺炎（新型冠狀病毒病，COVID-19）疫情仍未完全停歇，墾丁地區業者228連假訂房率僅約6成，業者向縣府爭取疫後振興，但縣府強調不會以相同模式推行。

下週末就是228連假，飯店旅宿粗估，目前整體訂房率僅約6成上下，明顯受到春節連假後的疫情影響，許多遊客怕旅遊後返家面臨隔離的窘況，加上今年春節平均住房率近8成，第一季業績已經算是泡湯。

業者認為，去年屏東振興觀光住宿省千元的旅遊補助「五五專案」帶來極大助益，建議屏縣能在疫情穩定後再次啟動振興，讓更多國人到訪屏東。

但屏縣府交通旅遊處指出，重視旅遊產業的困頓與發展，會找尋適當時機推動政策，並汲取五五專案的精髓，「但不會以相同模式推行」，目前縣府主要以大型活動及景點吸引遊客，包括三大日音樂祭、台灣祭、半島歌謠祭加上縣民公園、勝利新村等景點，有信心吸引國旅客目光。

【大纪元2022年02月19日讯】（大纪元记者盛元洛杉矶报导）2022年报税与往年有许多不同。不同之一是符合条件的企业在疫情期间留任雇员的，可得到数额不菲的税收抵免。

据洛杉矶县注册社安福利分析师和金融理财专家艾冬女士介绍，企业可申请的这项“员工留任税收抵免”补助，简称ERC（Employee Retention Credit），是美国政府为帮助受疫情冲击的企业，在疫情期间能够让员工保有工作的税收抵免方案。

这项税收抵免申请可追溯到2020年。即使企业已向国税局提交2021年的税表，或者之前两年曾享受过政府向企业发放的资薪保护计划（PPP）贷款，也可以继续申请ERC的税收抵免。

艾冬介绍，在2020年3月13日至2020年12月31日期间，如果企业的员工在100人以下，不管员工是在工作或是失去工作状态，每名员工有最高5,000美元的ERC抵税减免，但不是发给员工，而是给企业主的。例如，如果企业雇用了100名员工，企业主最高可拿到50万美元的抵税减免。

如果企业雇用了100人以上，则只按失去工作的员工人数计算抵税减免。例如，企业雇用了500名员工，其中有400名在工作，有100名失去工作，则只按照100名未工作的人数计算可抵免的税额。

2021年的前三个季度，可享受ERC的抵免税额是：每人每季度最高可达7,000美元，三个季度最高可达21,000美元。

艾冬算了一笔账，如果把2020年和2021年的前三个季度减免税额累积计算，符合条件的企业在两年期间可以通过每一名员工获得26,000美元的减税额。

假设企业雇用员工10人，那意味着企业有机会最高获得26万美元的减免税额；拥有100名雇员的企业，会有机会最高获得260万美元的减免税额。艾冬说：“对于某些中小企业来说，这可能相当于一大部分的企业净利润，是一笔相当可观的数额。”

符合这项抵税减免的企业有两个限制条件：一是2020至2021年期间，因政府下令而全部或部分关停的企业；二是在这两年间，任何一个季度与2019年相同季度对比，总收入显着下降的企业。具体数额为，2020年营业额下降50%；2021年营业额下降20%。

如果企业今年已经报税，而且所报税额高于申请ERC的获批减税额，国税局会将ERC批准的减税额抵免给企业，企业只负担剩余的部分税款。例如，企业所报税是27万美元，ERC获批减税额是26万美元，则企业最终只需交1万美元的税。

如果企业所报的税额低于ERC获批减税额，国税局不会退还ERC剩余部分的钱。例如，企业报税金额为25万美元，ERC获批减税额是26万美元，国税局不会退还ERC剩余的1万美元给企业。

申请ERC的企业需要向国税局填写941表格。有些专业公司可以帮助申请。通常是申请不成功不收费；成功则会申请向企业收取一定比例的金额。具体详情可拨打电话626-408-4269找Lindy女士咨询。◇

金門縣潁川堂陳氏宗親春季祭祖大典今天在金城鎮的陳氏宗祠隆重舉行，來自全縣各地「十三陳」宗親代表齊聚一堂，參與春季祭祖大典儀式，金門縣長楊鎮浯、立法委員陳玉珍、前縣長陳福海等人都出席參加陳氏宗親祭祖聯誼餐會活動，三人都逐桌敬酒，但彼此的互動不多，現場飄散濃濃的政治味。

金門縣陳氏宗親在每年的春、秋兩季祭典，是陳氏宗族內重要的祭祀大典活動。今年的陳氏宗親春季祭祖大典依慣例在上午10時隆重舉行，全程依傳統祭典儀程，由山外陳氏宗親會理事長陳金贊擔任主祭官，率陪與祭者以虔敬的心行獻禮儀式，整個祭典十分莊嚴肅穆。

在陳氏宗親春季祭祖大典之後，也完成山外股與塔后股移交儀式，以及依循慣例於中午12時假宗祠舉行新春聯誼餐會，席開27桌，聯絡宗親情誼；雖然是陳氏的盛會，但楊鎮浯也絲毫不敢怠慢，率團隊到場參與。

楊鎮浯表示，今年過年從台灣各縣市回來的鄉親有3萬6000餘名，這個年縣府團隊都嚴陣以待，好在近期疫情終於平順了點，大家總算可以鬆一口氣；他特別提到，感謝大家的配合，與對縣府防疫政策的支持，總算挺過這次疫情。

針對外界關心的陳玉珍是否參選縣長一事，陳玉珍在致詞時特別表示，雖然民眾勸進聲不斷，但她近期還會在跟各界「請益」後，才會做出決定。

據了解，整場活動楊鎮浯、陳玉珍與陳福海三人的互動關係「很微妙」，在祭祖前，陳福海與陳玉珍兩人有特別「闢室」相談，在場人士透露，談的話題大概都是閒話家常，陳福海也大方分享執政的經驗，現場氣氛很融洽，但兩人都低調未提「誰參選」。

但當媒體要求雙陳合影或是楊鎮浯與陳玉珍同框合影，三人都微笑擺手迴避，似乎不想被拿出來「作文章」，被形容是「王不見王」。最後三人都逐桌向鄉親敬酒，現場不時傳出「加油」、「凍蒜」聲。

有陳氏大老透露，針對縣長參選的人選，「這一局姓陳的不能缺席」，目前理監事都有私下在討論，宗親會將有推舉制度，推出縣長人選，而議員的人選則不會推派。

金門縣長楊鎮浯致詞時表示，感謝大家的支持與配合，春節的鄉親返鄉潮可以平順度過。記者蔡家蓁／攝影針對外界關心的陳玉珍是否參選縣長一事，立委陳玉珍在致詞時表示，近期還會在跟各界「請益」後，才會做出決定。記者蔡家蓁／攝影金門縣長楊鎮浯與立委陳玉珍兩人一前一後到場，簡單寒暄，巧妙錯身而過。記者蔡家蓁／攝影許久未露面的前縣長陳福海也到場逐桌向鄉親們敬酒，現場的「加油」聲不斷。記者蔡家蓁／攝影

(AP Photo/Alexei Alexandrov) KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — U.S. President Joe Biden said Friday that he is “convinced” Russian President Vladimir Putin has decided to invade Ukraine, including an assault on the capital, Kyiv, as tensions spiked along the militarized border with attacks that the West called “false-flag” operations meant to establish a pretext for invasion. In Ukraine, a humanitarian convoy was hit by shelling, and pro-Russian rebels evacuated civilians from the conflict zone. A car bombing hit the eastern city of Donetsk, but no casualties were reported. After weeks of saying the U.S. wasn’t sure if Putin had made the final decision to invade, Biden said that assessment had changed, citing American intelligence. “As of this moment I’m convinced he’s made the decision,” Biden said. “We have reason to believe that.” He reiterated that the assault could occur in the “coming days.” Meanwhile, the Kremlin announced massive nuclear drills to flex its military muscle, and Putin pledged to protect Russia’s national interests against what it sees as encroaching Western threats. Biden reiterated his threat of massive economic and diplomatic sanctions against Russia if it does invade, and pressed Putin to rethink his course of action. He said the U.S. and its Western allies were more united than ever to ensure Russia pays a price for the invasion. With an estimated 150,000 Russian troops posted around Ukraine’s borders, U.S. and European officials warn that the long-simmering separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine could provide the spark for a broader attack. As further indication that the Russians are preparing for a potential invasion, a U.S. defense official said an estimated 40% to 50% of the ground forces deployed in the vicinity of the Ukrainian border have moved into attack positions nearer the border. That shift has been under way for about a week, other officials have said, and does not necessarily mean Putin has decided to begin an invasion. The defense official spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal U.S. military assessments. The official also said the number of Russian ground units known as battalion tactical groups deployed in the border area had grown to as many as 125, up from 83 two weeks ago. Each battalion tactical group has 750 to 1,000 soldiers. Lines of communication remain open: The U.S. and Russian defense chiefs spoke Friday, and U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin called for de-escalation, the return of Russian forces surrounding Ukraine to their home bases, and a diplomatic resolution, according to the Pentagon. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov agreed to meet next week. Immediate worries focused on eastern Ukraine, where Ukrainian forces have been fighting pro-Russia rebels since 2014 in a conflict that has killed some 14,000 people. A bombing struck a car outside the main government building in the major eastern city of Donetsk, according to an Associated Press journalist there. The head of the separatists' forces, Denis Sinenkov, said the car was his, the Interfax news agency reported. There were no reports of casualties and no independent confirmation of the circumstances of the blast. Uniformed men inspected the burned-out car. Broken glass littered the area, Shelling and shooting are common along the line that separates Ukrainian forces and the rebels, but targeted violence is unusual in rebel-held cities like Donetsk. However, the explosion and the announced evacuations were in line with U.S. warnings of so-called false-flag attacks that Russia would use to justify an invasion. Separatists in the Luhansk and Donetsk regions that form Ukraine's industrial heartland known as the Donbas said they are evacuating civilians to Russia. The announcement appeared to be part of Moscow’s efforts to counter Western warnings of a Russian invasion and to paint Ukraine as the aggressor instead. Denis Pushilin, head of the Donetsk rebel government, said women, children and the elderly would go first, and that Russia has prepared facilities for them. Pushilin alleged in a video statement that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was going to order an imminent offensive in the area. Metadata from two videos posted by the separatists announcing the evacuation show that the files were created two days ago, The Associated Press confirmed. U.S. authorities have alleged that Kremlin plans included prerecorded videos as part of a disinformation campaign. Authorities began moving children from an orphanage in Donetsk, and other residents boarded buses for Russia. Long lines formed at gas stations as more people prepared to leave on their own. Putin ordered his emergencies minister to fly to the Rostov region bordering Ukraine to help organize the exodus and ordered the government to offer a payment of 10,000 rubles (about $130) to each evacuee, equivalent to about half of an average monthly salary in the war-ravaged Donbas. Ukraine denied planning any offensive. “We are fully committed to diplomatic conflict resolution only,” Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba tweeted. Around the volatile line of contact, a United Nations humanitarian convoy came under rebel shelling in the Luhansk region, Ukraine’s military chief said. No casualties were reported. Rebels denied involvement and accused Ukraine of staging a provocation. Separatist authorities reported more shelling by Ukrainian forces along the line. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said the situation is “potentially very dangerous.” A surge of shelling Thursday tore through the walls of a kindergarten, injuring two, and basic communications were disrupted. Both sides accused each other of opening fire. U.S. and European officials have been on high alert for any Russian attempts at a so-called false-flag operation. A Western official familiar with intelligence findings said Ukrainian government officials shared intelligence that suggested the Russians might try to shell the areas in the Luhansk region controlled by separatists, as part of an effort to create a false reason to take military action. The official was not authorized to comment publicly. U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said the threat to global security is “more complex and probably higher” than during the Cold War. He told the Munich conference that a small mistake or miscommunication between major powers could have catastrophic consequences. Russia announced this week that it was pulling back forces from vast military exercises, but U.S. officials said they saw no sign of a pullback — and instead saw more troops moving toward the border with Ukraine. Meanwhile, the White House and the U.K. formally accused Russia of being responsible for recent cyberattacks targeting Ukraine’s defense ministry and major banks. The announcement was the most pointed attribution of responsibility for the cyber intrusions. Also Friday, the U.S. government released new estimates of how many military personnel Russia has in and around Ukraine. It said there are between 169,000 and 190,000 personnel, up from about about 100,000 on Jan. 30, according to Michael Carpenter, the permanent U.S. representative to the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe. The new estimate includes military troops along the border, in Belarus, and in occupied Crimea; Russian National Guard and other internal security units deployed to these areas; and Russian-backed forces in eastern Ukraine. The separatists inside Ukraine, the Russian National Guard and troops in Crimea were not included in the previous U.S. estimate of 150,000. The Kremlin sent a reminder to the world of its nuclear might, announcing drills of its nuclear forces for the weekend. Putin will monitor the sweeping exercise Saturday that will involve multiple practice missile launches. The Kremlin has urged the West to keep Ukraine out of NATO and roll back alliance forces from Eastern Europe — demands roundly rejected by Western allies. Asked about Western warnings of a possible Russian invasion on Wednesday that didn’t materialize, Putin said, “There are so many false claims, and constantly reacting to them is more trouble than it's worth." “We are doing what we consider necessary and will keep doing so,” he said. “We have clear and precise goals conforming to national interests.” ___ Isachenkov reported from Moscow, Madhani from Munich and Miller from Washington.

從元宵節小過年過後，緊接著緬懷先人掃墓祭祖、宗教迎神賽會等熱鬧盛會相繼而來，也是火警發生最嚴峻時刻。台中市消防婦宣大隊長張鈴雪表示，星星之火足以燎原，婦宣隊將展開防火宣導工作，祗是掃墓、迎神有誠意就好，勿因焚燒冥紙或金紙而發生火警，危害到大家生命財產安全，反而不敬。

清明節尚未到，但中市大甲、大安、外埔及后里等山區墳墓卻有民眾開始舉家掃墓祭拜祖先，山間各公墓出見人、車潮，有些公墓的交通，還會出現堵塞情況。有掃墓民眾表示，客家族群掃墓都是從元宵節到清明節，每一天都是掃祖墳的日子，而且也有民眾也會提早在清明節前與家人成群到公墓祭拜祖墓，致使以往此刻消防人員及消防車疲於奔命的頻繁出動到山區滅火。

另外從大年新春後，至五月間，是國內迎神賽會最盛時刻，每天大致可看到遶境人潮，鑼鼓喧天、鞭炮聲隆隆的在市街行走至寺廟，有的還直灑金紙在馬路，到廟裡還大把燒金紙，曾間因燒金紙而發生火警，這誠心敬神，卻可能無意中釀成大害。

張鈴雪表示，掃墓民眾大都會清掃墳墓周圍雜草、整理後堆積一起燒乾淨再祭拜，最後還得燒冥紙及放鞭炮，致常年來這段時日是山區發生火警最頻繁時刻，經常可聽到消防車的鳴叫聲，令人聞之心驚、迎神賽會也因燒金紙而滋生火警，民俗傳統、慎終追遠緬懷先人祭祖是美德等都是好事，不過不慎造成火警就成遺憾，為了勸導小心火警發生，消防婦宣隊開始展開宣導，希望大家都能平平安安。

美國一名男性抗議者日前在波士頓公園（Boston Common）舉辦的投票權記者會，將一位亞裔女子誤認為台裔波士頓市長吳弭，並大聲對該女子說，「妳是個政治傀儡」。

當地媒體MassLive報導，這一麻州眾議員艾盧加多（Nika Elugardo）出席的投票權記者會，鼓勵選民登記投票，以提高麻州非裔與拉丁裔群體的投票率，然而，活動因示威男子嗆錯人而失焦。

認錯人的男子質疑「美國公民自由聯盟」（ACLU）不在乎弱勢群體，他並針對前麻州公共衛生部門前化學家杜克漢（Annie Dookhan）偽造證據事件，譏諷「選舉現代化聯盟」（Election Modernization Coalition）。

杜克漢曾任職麻州鑑定實驗室，因偽造數以萬計案件的檢測結果而陷牢獄之災；「美國公民自由聯盟」曾於2016年要麻州最高法院駁回受杜克漢影響的超過4萬起案件。

示威男子對一名他誤認為吳弭（Michelle Wu）的女性說：「妳是個政治傀儡…吳市長，你為什麼不調查一下呢？去調查—妳會發現真相的，吳市長。」

然而，吳弭根本沒出席這場14日舉辦的記者會，示威男子誤將怒氣發洩在促進公民參與組織Massachusetts Voter Table的執行主任貝斯．黃（Beth Huang）身上。

貝斯．黃後來在推特上談起這一烏龍事件，她寫道：「但願身為一個5呎4吋的亞裔女性，就可以使我擁有作為波士頓市長的權力。」她並表示：「我不是@wutrain（吳弭），但我們都支持投票權。」

貝斯．黃的推文引來吳弭回應，這位台裔波士頓市長留言：「我們應藉此製造些良性麻煩。」

吳弭去年成為波士頓200年來首位女市長，也是第一位有色人種市長，擺脫當地兩世紀來由白人男性主導政壇的局面。MassLive報導，自從吳弭宣布實施疫苗強制令，她便一再遭受來自抗議者的厭女行徑和種族歧視。

崇越集團董事長郭智輝面對繁忙的集團業務，精神依舊煥發，年輕時打棒壘球鍛鍊出來的強健體魄，仍能從已近古稀之年的身體上窺探一二，這是每天堅持鍛鍊與飲食積累的成果，很難想像前年的他正歷經一場大病，卻也更加堅定郭智輝對養生的決心。

郭智輝年輕時仗著身體好，菸酒一樣都不少，但隨著年紀漸增，麻煩也找了上來，2020年就因病毒感染引起顏面神經失調，加上遺傳性的三高（高血壓、高血糖、高血脂）讓治療更加困難，那時他身體機能下滑，一度不能吃不能喝，後來透過聽從醫囑，以及仰賴自身飲食及運動，慢慢控制住病情並逐漸恢復。\

選擇有益健康的食物

一場大病也讓郭智輝更重視養生的重要性，除了早已戒掉的菸酒外，飲食也更加重視健康餐食，「飲食不再只是求溫飽，滿足口腹之慾的同時，還要吃得健康、吃得快樂。」郭智輝表示，寧願多花點錢吃，也不願把錢用在看病上，吃得貴，不是吃得精美，而是選擇有益身體健康的食物。

堅持每天健走40分鐘

除了飲食，郭智輝認為，運動也是養生的不二法門。過去每天早上習慣在國父紀念館的外圍散步，偶爾打高爾夫球，現在更堅持每天健走40分鐘，周末時也會到位於三峽的臺北大學運動中心進行XPORTS重量訓量，避免肌少症，曾任中華民國棒球協會副理事長的他，在疫情緩和後，更開始重拾手套與球棒。

郭智輝指出，健康的五個變數包含吃喝、運動、睡眠、環境及情緒，但最重要的是了解自己的身體狀況，每個人的喜好跟可以接受的環境條件並不相同，就想有些人吃辣可以，有些人卻碰都不能碰，養生就是要尊重自己的身體跟環境，尤其現在科技發達，各種檢測儀器愈發方便，只要能做到早期發現、早期治療，更能在症狀出現前，就提前防範。

正因為走過這些年頭，郭智輝瞭解健康的觀念對人的影響，近年也從自身出發，將養生之道拓展到集團層面。大健康產業遂漸成為崇越集團繼半導體製程材料銷售、環保綠能業務外，第三個重要的事業體，旗下的「安永鮮物」更以推展正確食育觀念為己任，郭智輝相信藥補不如食補，公司的招牌商品－安永鱸魚精也成為郭智輝在養病期間的飲食「良藥」。

此外，郭智輝也因抱持對棒球的熱愛，早些年就在公司內部推廣棒壘球運動，隨後「安永鮮物棒球隊」也在郭智輝督軍下成立，崇越集團2021年更於臺北大學運動中心創立「XPORTS」專業運動訓練品牌，引進日本鳥取「初動負荷器材」，期許打造出台灣「費雪運動訓練中心」，旨在培養國內成棒人才。郭智輝更明白運動的拓展不能只在競技上，還包含休閒與復健層面，未來也打算在宜蘭的「安永心食館」推出團隊活動的遊戲場域，將「團隊合作」打造成一門課程。

運動不僅帶給郭智輝健康的人生，啟發他團隊合作的重要性，曾經的選手人生也帶給他不一樣的視野，更使他學會控制自己的情緒。

過去有選手從安永鮮物隊離開加入職業球隊後，上場後卻遲遲難以得勝，郭智輝一眼就看出問題，就是過度的求好心切，影響到身體機能。他表示，這跟情緒調節有關，現代人工作壓力大也都會面臨相同的問題，排解壓力的方式每個人並不相同，但要懂得快速冷靜的方法，犯錯通常都是情緒高張的時候犯錯。

郭智輝表示，透過現代醫學技術，一般人的壽命都可以到80、90歲，但如果沒有好好重視自己的身體，活到那個歲數但餘命都在病床上，也是沒有人樂見的。隨著現代科技的高速發展，透過AI檢測、判斷，醫療診斷得以更加精準，配合穿戴裝置的普及化，更能協助每個人瞭解自己的身體，養生不能只是口頭說說，更要是實踐在生活各個層面。

content_text: 職場暴力不僅影響專業的業務導入，嚴重者更會造成從業者的人身安危，事實上，職場暴力乃是個人、制度以及環境，三者環環相扣影響，所造成的的諸多遺憾，僅以急診醫療暴力為例，不僅干擾醫療進行，還波及到其他病人的醫療服務權益，對於醫師護理等專業人員更是造成莫大的生理、心理壓力，對此，這些年來，也在社會大眾的關注下，國家開始重視急診醫療人員的安全，然而，每天在社區裡每個家庭穿梭的長照工作人員，他們的人身安全，我們可以為他們多做些什麼？[啟動LINE推播] 每日重大新聞通知2022年開春不久，就從一向是我們老化政策學習的國家談起，日本傳來居家醫療團隊被居家服務對象的家屬加以槍殺，報載「醫生努力救病患，高齡患者不幸病故，醫師親自登門拈香致哀…結果，病人家屬竟直接將醫師抓起來，綁架甚至槍殺身亡」，衝突下加害人喊：「一直照顧煩死了」並併發槍聲，或許，這是一樁醫療糾紛，但也可能是家屬無法承擔照顧壓力，致使在精神崩潰下所採取的一項激烈行動，讓人感到十分的遺憾，這對於一向標舉安全寧靜的日本來說，發生此般的重大事件，著實震驚日本社會，不僅凸顯居家長期照顧人員的人身安全議題，未被重視外，也直指長照負荷下，主照者壓力與情緒的爆發力，會是多麼的驚恐嚇人。然而，就事件本身來看，未致死的暴力事件，更有如冰山下的暴力事件，是否也因為專業人員被教導包容、接納，以至於忽略諸多照顧暴力背後的黑數意涵。這類事件讓我們重新思考的是：長照工作人員面對被照顧者的照顧問題（如疾病變化產生的言語行動攻擊、性騷擾等問題行為），以及照顧者照顧壓力下的失控言行，確實每天都是處於不可預知的風險下工作，然而，從日本案例回到台灣一地，長期照顧體系的職場暴力，也是時有所聞，只是，多由工作者或工作者所屬的單位自行處理，常常是透過個人督導給個安慰，此一包容、接納的結果，不是減少暴力事偳的發生，而是對於人身安全議題的更加忽略，如此一來，會造成更大的傷害，事實上，有些照服員在面對職場言語暴力甚至於性騷擾，往往未能得到實質的支持或協助，到最後，不是為了五斗米折腰繼續忍受，便是選擇轉身離職，對於整體長期照顧服務人力的穩定與安全，都會造成一定程度的干擾影響。我國因長期照顧政策的持續推動，長照體系近年來已有快速發展，照顧服務員也從2014年的26,942人成長至2020年的76,870人，這麼多的照服工作者，是否自身準備好，準備好屬於自己的保護計畫？準備好因應於家庭與社會結構快速改變底下，各種家庭或服務對象問題的應變措施？以此觀之，超高齡社會下的人身安全問題，確實是長照體系機制運作的一項重要議題，這些工作者的人身安全，應該不是私領域的個別遭遇，也不是單一機構自身的事，乃是整個環境的制度規劃設計議題。對此，國家機器應協助建構職業安全的照顧環境，分析長期照顧體下可能常見職場暴力的歸因事由，同時，配搭法令規章與制度管理，以建構安全的長照服務環境及勞動防制措施，從而讓日本的悲劇不會複製成為台灣經驗的模仿效應。＊作者為中華民國老人推動聯盟秘書長

加諸於維新的「國際壓力」

在明治維新的歷史背景當中，有英法兩國的強大壓力存在，這點已經從包括尾佐竹猛博士與石井孝教授等等的諸家研究中所釐清。不僅是學者，連劇作家真山青果在《江戶城總攻》三部曲、作家子母澤寬在《勝海舟》第七卷當中，都正確地描寫出，英國公使巴夏禮（Harry S. Parkes）與法國公使羅煦（Léon Roches）的活躍，大幅制約了西鄉隆盛與勝海舟的行動。

薩道義的《回憶錄》也是一樣，如果懷抱著那種意識閱讀的話，也算是以支配日本為目標的英國的勝利紀錄。如果讀了石井教授的《明治維新的幕後》，就可以充分瞭解到巴夏禮支持、操縱薩摩藩與長州藩的力量，打敗了幕府方的演出者羅煦，加速了幕府的崩潰與維新政府的成立。

「如果觀察背後的脈絡，被當作維新史佳話傳誦的勝海舟與西鄉隆盛兩雄的會面，也是在巴夏禮反對攻擊江戶的這份國際壓力之中進行的。」（石井孝教授）

我相信勝海舟與西鄉隆盛的會談，一定會是裝飾日本歷史壁畫當中的一段佳話。不過，關於那次會談，只有「在國際壓力之中進行的」這一點，是絕對錯不了的。

日本江戶時代末期（幕末）的薩摩藩武士、軍人、政治家西鄉隆盛，與木戶孝允、大久保利通並稱「維新三傑」，明治初年曾任要職，推行多項重大改革。圖為東京上野公園內的西鄉隆盛像。（CC BY 2.0 shankar s.）

來自「歐美列強」的壓力的確很強，如果將之屏除在考慮之外，就會無法理解明治維新這個「複雜的變革」。並且對於接續在維新之後的征韓論、台灣征討、西南戰爭、條約改正運動、從自由民權運動往大亞細亞主義急轉、日清戰爭與三國干涉、日英同盟與日俄戰爭、韓國併合、滿洲國建國、日支事變與太平洋戰爭──意即我所謂的「東亞百年戰爭」的全部過程，都會無法理解，這些全部都是在強烈的「國際壓力」當中所發生的一連串事件。「列強」對日本施加的壓迫並沒有因為明治維新而消解，儘管日本人拼命地反擊，這份壓迫卻逐年地增大、然後組織化，並且在太平洋戰爭的前夕到達顛峰。

馬克思學派史學的無效性

為了寫接下來的論述，我竭盡所能地試著讀了以《服部之總著作集》為首的左翼史學家的明治維新史。因為其數量之龐大，我無法說全部都過目了，可是，到現在這一刻為止，我感覺越讀左翼學者的著作，明治維新的身影就越離我遠去。到底是為什麼呢？原因之一，可能是因為「維新史」還是在爭論中的問題，有關其「本質」、「期間」，都還沒有產生出一致的定論，完全是處在各說各話的階段。不過，原因似乎也不只有如此。

在戰前就已經有了「講座派」與「勞農派」的爭論。雖然爭論的焦點在於「明治維新是否為布爾喬亞革命」，但因為這兩派人士都自詡為是馬克思主義者，使用的方法與術語也都相同，在第三者的眼中，看起來就只是馬克思主義的分店在互爭正宗的地位。

依照馬克思學派的學說，革命是指「由一個階級往其他階級去的政治權力移動」，可是這個公式無法適用在明治維新上。越深入調查越會覺得，明治維新是一場「奇妙的政權更替」。儘管德川幕府已經顯露出崩潰的前兆，但並非因為內部存在著「近代布爾喬亞」革命的勢力在增長。即便是屢次發生的百姓一揆，也算不上是動搖封建制度基礎的農民戰爭。就算許多史學家誇大武士階級的腐敗無能，也無法認為領主與家臣集團整體喪失了支配與領導能力。事實正好相反，對自弘化年間以來的「外患」反應得最為敏感的，是被稱作「賢公」的領主們及其家臣集團。在上層階級的農民與商人之中，雖然也輩出了「攘夷家」、「熱心人士」、「有志之士」，可是這些人大多希望成為武士，未必是站在封建制度的對立面。而把武士分為上級與下級，將維新視為下級武士階級「革命」的看法，也已判明是胡說。

在此，產生出了名為「生產（manufacture）論爭」，即為手工業式的論爭，以及主張明治維新是「復辟（Restoration）」而不是「革命（Revolution）」的學說。如果「講座派」說，因為明治維新只是將政權從武士移轉到武士，從幕府移轉到藩閥政府，所以不是像法國大革命般的布爾喬亞革命。「勞農派」就會回答，「不，明治維新儘管異常，還是布爾喬亞革命。資本主義的嬰兒在德川幕府封建制度的內部已經出生，然後在藩閥政府下成長至成熟或未成熟的資本主義」。

總之就是分店之間的爭執，就只是以學者為名的孫悟空，在稱為馬克思的如來佛掌中到處跑。他們全都從馬克思的著作《路易‧波拿巴的霧月十八日》出發，又回到了《路易‧波拿巴的霧月十八日》。他們覺得自己馳騁於維新史與世界史當中，卻連一步都沒踏出馬克思所寫的小冊子。

「民族主義式觀點」的登場

難道明治維新就單純只是明治維新，不好嗎？就算明治維新不像法國大革命或俄國革命，也沒有道理覺得對不起馬克思跟列寧吧。即使從「明治維新跟任何國家的革命都不相似」這個不證自明的前提出發，來進行研究，也絕對不可能變成在否定「歷史的法則性」不是嗎？

至於「外國的壓力」開始被左翼學者公然提出，並當作明治維新的原動力之一，是在戰後的現象。儘管戰前的左翼歷史學家並非完全忽視掉「外國的壓力」，但他們的著力點是，專注於從「封建制度瓦解」以及「人民的鬥爭」中尋求維新的原動力，避免強調「針對外國壓力的民族鬥爭」的面向。因為假使深究這個問題的話，會正面撞上「日本的民族主義」。對戰前的馬克思主義者來說，一切「有民族性質的事物」都是光碰到就會弄髒手的穢物，加以無視或者閃躲避過是常識。因為我也是當年的「馬克思主義學生」，所以很瞭解這股氛圍。左翼就只是一心一意的「國際主義者」，極度嫌棄「有日本氣息的事物」。就算說他們親自拒絕當「愛國者」，把針對「有日本氣息的事物」的研究，都交給右翼學者而轉身離去也不為過。

（延伸閱讀：從沙皇、史達林到普京 為什麼俄羅斯幾乎不可能擺脫獨裁？）

這股氛圍看似因為戰敗而徹底翻轉，美軍占領日本、「民族共產主義者」毛澤東政權誕生，再加上之後的美蘇公開對立，全面改變了這股氛圍。當日本共產黨突然開始自稱為「愛國者」時，目瞪口呆的應該不是只有看家本領被人抄走的右派學者吧。戰前馬克思學派的學者諸家，肯定也很困惑要把他們的「國際主義」收到哪裡。

「不過，在用歐洲的君主專制或是布爾喬亞革命作為標準衡量明治維新之前，再把日本當作亞洲中的日本重新審視，也可以說是一種重要的觀點吧。這個論點，在戰後的研究中，會產生『以對抗外國壓迫，達成身為民族的統一與獨立』的面向來理解明治維新這樣的研究方法，可說是理所當然。」

這段文字，是共筆作者中有許多戰後派左翼學者的《日本歷史》第十卷（讀賣新聞社版）的其中一節。

「達成明治維新的力量不用說當然是在日本國內備妥的，然而不可忽略的是在歐洲、美國的布爾喬亞革命早已結束之時，身處在這種終須展開國家統一以及創立資本主義的國際環境下的日本，所受到的影響。」（《日本歷史》）

根據馬克思主義史學的權威學者，已故的服部之總教授的說法，「歷史學是針對過去的政治」。如果從這個駭人的反歷史觀點來看，歷史可以因為政治需要而被無數次地修改。像「俄羅斯共產黨史」已經被改寫好幾次，明治維新史看起來也開始被對政治很忠誠的左翼學者們熱心地改寫了。

在戰前被拋棄不顧，連碰觸都是左翼學者禁忌的「民族主義」，開始受到鎂光燈的關注。在政治方面，出現了諸如「反安保鬥爭」、「反核武運動」等「新攘夷主義」。即使這是只針對美國這個「帝國主義夷狄」的單方面式的攘夷運動，但在中蘇決裂、對立的現在，可能不久後就會出現針對「蘇聯帝國主義」的攘夷運動。我想世界上應該沒有其他左翼人士像日本左翼那麼地忠於外國的吧。

作者簡介

林房雄（Fusao Hayashi）

本名後藤壽夫，日本小說家、文學批評家。早年以參與無產階級文學運動著稱，後來成為強烈的極端民族主義者。

林房雄曾考入東京帝國大學法學院，但在1925年離開學校，以無產階級文學作家的身分登入文壇，把精力投入到左派政治和藝術中，其後多次因參與左派運動被檢舉入獄。1932年出獄後發表《青年》，宣稱思想「轉向」，1935年創作《浪漫主義者的筆記》，宣布不再支持馬克思主義，並於1936年開始中斷與無產階級文學運動的一切聯繫，發出「無產階級文學作家歇業」宣言。林房雄在戰後以「白井明」為筆名從事寫作，相較於當時盛行的左翼論述，其言論無疑給日本帶來了新的活力。

林房雄對於左翼的批判性論點，同時也得到了日本文豪三島由紀夫的共鳴。兩人於1947年在《新晚報》編輯部相遇，之後持續交流；三島於1963年撰寫了《林房雄論》，評論其言論與作品，並於1966年將兩人之間的對談集結出版為《對話•日本人論》。三島由紀夫於1970年切腹後，林房雄擔任三島由紀夫追悼會的邀集發起人代表，並在弔唁中寫道：「不等盛開的櫻花，自己散落。」

林房雄畢生著作甚豐，1963至1965年在《中央公論》雜誌刊行連載的《大東亞戰爭肯定論》在日本引起極大爭論，即使在出版幾十年後，爭議也依然存在。其他著作包括：《青年•文明開化》（夏目書房，2003）、《天皇的起源》（夏目書房，2002）、《青年：伊藤博文與井上馨的青春世代》（德間書房，1986）、《現代史的證言》（日本及日本人社，1981）、《悲傷的琴聲：給三島由紀夫的鎮魂歌》（文藝春秋，1972）、《林房雄評論集》（浪曼，1972-1974）等。

(Sci-Tech Vista, Ministry of Science and Technology photo) Lien Jih-ching helped Taiwan's former ally Sao Tome and Principe combat malaria. (Sci-Tech Vista, Ministry of Science and Technology photo) TAIPEI (Taiwan News) — Taiwan’s “Dr. Mosquito” Lien Jih-ching (連日清), whose contribution led to Taiwan becoming the first country in the world to eradicate malaria, passed away at the age of 96 on Wednesday (Feb. 16). Liberty Times reported that Lien, born in Taipei, worked at the Taihoku Imperial University’s Institute of Tropical Medicine (now National Taiwan University’s College of Public Health) at the age of 15. He was inspired to study mosquitos while helping Japanese entomologist Omoriminami Saburo battle a wave of dengue fever that infected 5 million out of the 8 million people in Taiwan in 1942. Under further encouragement from Omoriminami, Lien went on to discover so many mosquito species that he contributed to 1% of all mosquito species discoveries in the world. According to Common Health Magazine, Lien discovered and named 29 out of the nearly 140 species of mosquitos in Taiwan. Lien joined the government’s epidemic prevention workforce after getting out of school. Under his leadership, the World Health Organization (WHO) declared Taiwan free of malaria in 1965, making Taiwan the first country in the world to receive such certification. However, Lien’s work did not stop there; he continued leading teams that traveled across the world to help local governments combat diseases spread by mosquitos, per Liberty Times. Even at the age of 80, Lien led multiple missions to Sao Tome and Principe, helping Taiwan’s former ally in Africa eliminate malaria and training a group of public health staff members. On Oct. 25, 2011, Lien’s work was officially recognized through the presidential third-class Order of Brilliant Star. On Nov. 2, 2016, Lien received a Grand Medal of Diplomacy from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for his work in Sao Tome and Principe.

【新唐人北京時間2022年02月19日訊】最近巴西一項大規模研究發現，伊維菌素（Ivermectin）有抗新冠病毒的效果。這次疫情中，伊維菌素被特別拿出來研究，而且得到全球的廣泛關注。比起別的藥物，它為什麼會特別受關注？又爲何引起巨大爭議？
來自土壤的藥物 伊維菌素可抗病毒、抗發炎
伊維菌素起源於上個世紀的70年代，是由日本的大村智教授發現的，他從日本各地收集了數千份的土壤樣本，從中分離出一種新的細菌——鏈黴菌。
通過培養和發酵鏈黴菌，大村智發現它能夠產生一種新的化合物，當時稱為阿維菌素，也就是伊維菌素的前身。隨後他和默沙東藥廠（Merck Sharp & Dohme，MSD）的研發團隊建立了長期的合作關係，並把阿維菌素修改為更加安全且有效的伊維菌素。
伊維菌素最初主要用於治療寄生蟲病——腸道的類圓線蟲病和盤尾絲蟲病。默沙東發現這個藥物對這2種寄生蟲病有強大的療效後，就無償地在全世界49個國家，捐贈了超過40億次的治療次數，為許多貧困地區的人們做了一件善事。
不僅如此，在新冠疫情爆發之前，醫學界已經對伊維菌素做了大量研究，發現它除了抗寄生蟲之外，還有抗病毒、抗發炎的效果。

伊維菌素可抑制多種DNA、RNA病毒
伊維菌素因為「一種藥物，多種用途」，曾被《自然》雜誌集團旗下的《抗生素期刊》稱為「神奇藥物」（wonder drug）。
新冠疫情爆發的速度太快，給全球造成了極大傷害，要在短時間內從零開始研發新的化合物來對抗病毒，幾乎是不可能的事情。所以，人們採取老藥新用的思路，將很多現有藥物拿出來嘗試，看它們有沒有對抗新冠病毒的效果。
於是，科學家們想到了伊維菌素。
多年來的研究發現，伊維菌素有廣泛的抗病毒作用，能對抗包括愛滋病、登革熱、流感等在內的多種病毒。這也是伊維菌素特別受關注，而被拿出來研究的原因之一。

伊維菌素如何抑制病毒呢？當病毒入侵人體細胞之後，細胞質內有一個叫輸入蛋白（importin，Imp）的物質，它會把病毒的蛋白質運到細胞核裡，讓病毒複製。這樣一來，病毒就能夠在人體內不斷的複製、感染、傳播。
伊維菌素能阻斷Imp和病毒蛋白之間的結合作用，所以病毒的蛋白質就不會被運送進細胞核，就阻斷了病毒的複製環節。
伊維菌素能阻斷Imp和病毒蛋白之間的結合作用，可阻斷病毒的複製環節。（健康1+1／大紀元）
伊維菌素對抗新冠病毒的效果如何呢？根據醫學期刊《抗病毒研究》（Antiviral Research）的體外研究，被新冠病毒感染的非洲綠猴腎細胞模型中加入伊維菌素2天後，細胞內的病毒量下降到了原先的0.001％。
研究進一步發現，伊維菌素達到一定濃度，對新冠病毒有更強的抑制效果。

巴西大型研究：伊維菌素顯著降低Omicron感染率
今年1月15日，露西·克爾博士等人在醫學期刊《葡萄球菌》（Cureus Journal of Medical Science）發表一篇論文，他們在巴西的伊塔雅伊城市實施觀察性研究，目的在於評估伊維菌素預防新冠感染的效果及相關的影響。他們在2020年的7～12月針對伊塔雅伊的22.3萬居民進行醫療隨訪，並收集人口、年齡、性別，還有居民病情以及醫療信息等相關的情況。
研究最後的統計共納入15.9萬名居民，其中11.4萬人預防性使用伊維菌素，服用方法是每15天服用2天，劑量為0.2毫克，而另外4.6萬人則不服用伊維菌素。
結果顯示，整體的感染率減少了44％，住院率減少了56％，致死率減少了68％，也就是說，使用伊維菌素可以顯著降低新冠感染率、住院率和致死率。

伊維菌素的3大爭議
然而，伊維菌素從被提出用作新冠治療藥物以來，就一直受到許多爭議。主要有3個原因：
1. 體外研究的藥物濃度較高
根據醫學期刊《抗病毒研究》（Antiviral Research），伊維菌素抗病毒的體外實驗達到有效抑制病毒的濃度為5個微摩爾，這是一個非常高的濃度。有科學家質疑根據目前的口服給藥方案，不太可能在人體內實現同樣的濃度，因此無法達到與體外實驗相同的抗病毒效果。
不過，這並不代表伊維菌素在體內沒有有效的可能性，原因在於該實驗所用的是非洲綠猴的腎細胞模型，與人的細胞相比，更適合於病毒複製。此外，它並不是人的呼吸細胞，沒有ACE2受體，所以不代表人體感染新冠時的真實情況。人體細胞並不一定需要同樣高濃度的伊維菌素才能對抗病毒。
2. 目前尚無FDA認可的隨機對照雙盲試驗結果正式發表
自從新冠大流行開始，很多醫生、科學家，針對伊維菌素開展了各種各樣的臨床研究。
但是，因為目前還沒有正式發表的隨機對照雙盲實驗研究結果，沒有達到美國食品藥品監督管理局（FDA）的標準，所以FDA和藥物監管部門並沒有接受和認可它。根據官方說法，目前的證據還沒有達到標準級別，所以不支持伊維菌素在新冠肺炎預防和治療上的應用。
3. 目前有獸用藥物，擔心誤用、致中毒
伊維菌素現在不僅用在人身上，還會用在動物身上，而且給動物用的藥物劑量非常大，人誤服大劑量伊維菌素之後有可能導致毒性。所以，出於謹慎和安全性的考量，FDA目前尚未接受。
伊維菌素受爭議的3大原因。（健康1+1／大紀元）
目前只是呈現一些關於伊維菌素不同的研究，關於是否建議使用則尚無結論。
不過，我個人認爲，判斷藥物療效的方法，不應該是機械化地一刀切，比如只認理想化的隨機雙盲對照的研究數據，而是應該抱著更加更開放的心態來看待來自現實世界的臨床研究數據、流行病學數據等，來綜合考慮和衡量。這樣，有可能發現更多的治療新冠疾病的方案，能夠最大限度地保護人群。
另一方面，伊維菌素作為一個從大自然中提取出的藥物，確實展現了它的「神奇」（wonder）之處。現代藥物開發的原理，是：one disease, one target one lead。也就是說，針對某個病菌的「某一個靶點」，來設計特定的藥物。而來自大自然的天然化合物，通常是對於許多靶點、許多病原體同時起作用，所以，也往往被發現有廣泛的用途。
正如大村智領諾貝爾獎時，曾經說過：「大自然的微生物不會產生無用的代謝物，而我們人類對這些微生物所帶來的用處，實際上是知之甚少的。」
因此，人類對於大自然帶來的真正益處和價值，包括在防疫方面的幫助，可能認識的還很膚淺，還需要更進一步去拓展。
身處紛亂之世，心存健康之道，就看健康1+1！

The centuries-old ‘songrouzong’ demon-banishing ritual has recently become popular in northern Taiwan, but it has put the fear of god into the residents of the neighborhoods where it takes place

The suicides might have seemed apocryphal, but the ritual meant to banish their malevolent ghosts was real. And that had the residents of Taoyuan’s Jhongli District (中壢) concerned for their safety.

According to reports in March last year in Mirror Media and Storm Media, four people had taken their lives by burning coal in the alcove of a townhouse they were renting near Lane 270 on Jhongshan Street (中山). After the father of the family learned of the tragedy, he hung himself. The landlord later rented out the space, but tenants kept committing suicide by hanging. Convinced that evil spirits were killing his tenants, the landlord hired religious specialists to perform a songrouzong (送肉粽, lit: “delivering meat dumplings”), a folk ritual thought to banish demons and ghosts.

Hsu Bai-lung (許柏龍), a ritual master and demon-banishing specialist, tells Eastern Broadcasting that the souls of those who commit suicide “hang around the visible world seeking revenge” on the living. And the greater the number of deaths, the more malicious the spirits.

Hsu’s task, like any demon banisher, is to employ the songrouzong ritual to remove these evil doers from the home where the suicide has taken place and banish them to the sea so they will no longer haunt the living.

And judging by how often the ritual is performed, it seems to be an effective practice. And yet, the ritual on Jhongshan Street never took place.

Though it runs on a spectrum, the majority of Taiwanese believe in the existence of malevolent ghosts. The more brutal the death, the greater potential there is for harm. And the ghosts resulting from a suicide are believed to be among the most lethal. Homes where a suicide takes place, for example, plummet in value. The belief in ghosts is so strong, in fact, there is an entire month — ghost month — devoted to appeasing these wandering mischief makers.

DELICACIES AND DEMONS

Folklorist Yang Teng-ke (楊登嵙) says songrouzong has existed in Taiwan for four centuries and is centered mainly around the old trading center of Lugang Township (鹿港) in Changhua County. Yang says that what makes the ritual unique is that it is specifically held for a person who has committed suicide by hanging.

The term zongzi (粽子) refers to a delicacy of glutinous rice and pork wrapped in bamboo leaves and bound and hung with string and sold in night markets. By analogy, the hanged individual takes on the appearance of the hanging zongzi.

國發會預計3月將提出台灣2050年淨零碳排路徑圖，內容將涵蓋2030年前，國內在節能、綠能、減碳極大化等重要政策方向。圖為太陽能板。(示意圖/IMF)  國發會預計3月將提出台灣2050年淨零碳排路徑圖，內容將涵蓋2030年前，國內在節能、綠能、減碳極大化等重要政策方向。銀行業協助企業減碳轉型也正快馬加鞭，國內的外資銀行甚至已立下目標，對於燃煤營收超過5成的客戶，2026年1月開始，將會停止貸款。

國發會主委龔明鑫曾透露，2050年淨零碳排路徑會參考國際能源署(IEA)淨零路徑，而IEA規劃2050年全球近7成的電力將來自太陽能和風能。由於台灣地狹人稠太陽能和風能占比恐怕無法達到此標準，但國發會也認為，至少在這兩項的電力使用上，要超過50%、60%，才能達到淨零排放目標。

要想達到淨零排放，企業身兼重任。不過，不少企業過去碳排放量高，若要轉型減排，甚至達到零排，都需要資金更新製程和設備，這時銀行的放貸就成為企業的後盾。玉山銀行董事長黃男州指出，要達到2050淨零碳排的目標，在這過程中，銀行業也有很大挑戰。他指出，當銀行借款給某企業10億，如果占企業資產負債表10%，而這家企業客戶排了10萬公噸的碳，十分之一就得算在銀行上，而以目前玉山銀行來說，放款大約占本國銀行5%，像是台積電等，玉山也有放款，也因此以目前玉山銀行的排碳量計算，有95%都是來自於放款的顧客，所以銀行業如何協助企業減排，是重中之重。黃男州說：『(原音)所以我們使用的方法是責任授信，也就是顧客表現愈好，我們在利率上可以做某些降低，對銀行來說，是好或是不好？但我是覺得，注重ESG的顧客，Default Risk(違約風險)一定會比較低，因為未來規範會愈來愈嚴格。』

黃男州也指出，以玉山銀行來說，2021年承做了49件的ESG相關貸款，借款金額高達381億，雖然借款水位因為企業還款有下降，但未來仍會持續協助企業轉型邁向減排。

至於星展集團則是第一家新加坡銀行承諾至2039年將終止對燃煤業的融資，包括相關採礦與發電公司的貸款。為了落實這項目標，星展集團除了立即停止與營收超過25%以上來自燃煤的新客戶合作，且從2026年1月起，將停止貸款給燃煤營收超過50%的客戶。不過，星展銀行(台灣)企業及機構負責人暨永續委員會主席羅綸有則指出，目前台灣燃煤營收超過5成的企業並不多，在東南亞國家等新興市場較為常見。

俄烏緊張局勢之際，俄羅斯週五 (18 日) 宣布將在週末進行大規模的核武演習，總統普丁將親自監督，但克里姆林宮也表示，已就演習一事發布通知，不應引起擔憂。

俄羅斯每年都會舉行大規模的戰略核武演習。俄羅斯國防部表示，週六 (19 日) 的演習涉及多次洲際彈道飛彈和巡航導彈試射，參與核演習的包含空軍、南部與北部軍區，以及黑海艦隊，普丁將赴國防部戰情室觀看演習，並親自監督導彈試射演練。

白俄羅斯總統 Alexander Lukashenko 週五赴莫斯科與普丁會面時也表示，將參與週六舉行的核武軍演。

針對週六演習，克里姆林宮發言人 Dmitry Peskov 表示，彈道飛彈試射只是基本練習的一部份，已就演習一事提前通知海外合作夥伴，西方國家不應為此感到擔憂。

就在俄羅斯宣布大規模核武演習的前一天，美國總統拜登才警告，俄羅斯恐在未來數天內進入並攻擊烏克蘭，美國國務卿布林肯 (Anthony Blinken) 也在同日表示，下週將與俄國外交部長會面討論當前局勢，前提是俄羅斯沒有進一步入侵烏克蘭。

俄羅斯始終堅稱沒有入侵烏克蘭的打算，但也向美國與其盟國提出幾項要求，包含將烏克蘭與其他前蘇聯國家永久排除在北約之外、不要在烏克蘭部署武器並自東歐撤軍等。

纽约市小商业局新任韩裔局长金德彦（Kevin Kim，右二）在法拉盛市议员黄敏仪（左一）、法拉盛BID行政主任余钿崧（右一）的陪同下，走访法拉盛商家。（林丹／大纪元）【大纪元2022年02月19日讯】（大纪元记者林丹纽约报导）纽约市小商业局（SBS）新任韩裔局长金德彦（Kevin Kim）18日访问法拉盛商家，同时传递市长亚当斯（Eric Adams）推动减少对企业的执法罚款、减轻企业负担的信息。

纽约市小商业局新任韩裔局长金德彦（Kevin Kim，右二）在法拉盛市议员黄敏仪（左二）的陪同下，走访法拉盛商家。（林丹／大纪元）上任刚四周的金德彦，在法拉盛市议员黄敏仪（Sandra Ung）、法拉盛商改区（Flushing BID）执行主任余钿崧的陪同下，走访了法拉盛40路（40th Rd.）的“法拉盛雪糕行（Flushing Ice Cream Factory）、新世界商城、韩裔商家集中的友联街（Union St.），了解商家的经营情况及业者的反馈。

为了帮助小企业从COVID-19疫情中复苏，市长亚当斯在上任后的第三天签署了一项行政命令，要求市府机构“缩减监管，减少不必要的处罚和罚款”，“削减繁文缛节”。市长要求这些执法机构在90天内列出企业被开罚单最多的25项违规行为，今后要相应地进行调整，以减轻企业在疫情下的负担。

金德彦说，市府成立了一个跨部门的小组，该小组已经召开了第一次会议，要求对开出罚单的违规行为的认定进行一次梳理，重新审视哪些行为才算是真正应该受到处罚的，避免对企业的执罚过重，为企业减负。

金德彦说，已要求每个机构向该跨部门小组，提供开出罚单最多的25项违规行为清单，或者一些已经“过时”的条例所定的违规行为。在疫情之下，公共安全和医疗卫生是两大最要紧的问题，与这两大方面无关的执法若给企业带来了过重的负担，则需要重新审视。

金德彦也承认，由于企业所处的行政区不同，同样的行为可能面对的执法也不同；检查人员不同，执法也不同，“周一这个检查员说OK， 周五来的检查员可能会开罚单。”

法拉盛雪糕行的负责人赵样爱接受采访表示，疫情造成各种成本上涨、通货膨胀、人们戴防护品等，对商家的经营都是挑战。该雪糕行是有40多年历史的华埠老店“华埠雪糕行”在2018年进驻法拉盛开设的。

市议员黄敏仪感谢金德彦局长此行来了解小商业的情况，听取商家的反馈。她说平时商家反映比较多的困难有：罚单过多、公车道禁私家车进入法拉盛中心区影响了商家生意等。另外她也倡议市府成立一个一站式的服务中心，让多个政府机构进驻，为企业提供一条龙服务，方便办事和咨询。

小商业局的工作人员向商家派发了市府机构扶持企业的宣传单张，如为企业减少繁琐手续、48小时内为企业询问作答复的“纽约市企业快速启动”（quickstart）项目，详情可登陆nyc.gov/quickstart，或拨打888-SBS-4NYC；商业租赁免费法律服务网站：nyc.gov/commlease；收到违规通知怎么办？小商家可以更正问题而无需支付罚款，也可以提出上诉或支付罚款，详情：on.nyc.gov/topviolations。

日前P聯盟比賽時發生新竹攻城獅隊吳岱豪不滿對手桃園領航猿洋將羅賓森（Devin Robinson）動作，因而拿球砸人衝突事件，導致他被判罰禁賽一場及罰款；類似戲碼也在今天T1聯盟比賽上演，台啤英熊今天首度在和平籃球館做主場迎戰人氣球隊新北中信特攻，在上半場快結束時，攻下31分的中信特攻洋將厄力，因對手周柏勳犯規動作，拿球砸人，結果被判T及不合運動道德犯規出場，所幸兩隊克制脾氣，未引發進一步衝突。

厄力首節狂攻20分，次節得11分，但在半場結束前1分46秒時，厄力與周伯勳對峙時互相碰撞，氣得向周伯勳砸球，引發兩隊怒氣相向，裁判最後經過重新檢視畫面，立刻判罰厄力驅逐出場，使得中信特攻頓時少了一門火砲。厄力行為恐將會在賽後再加以進行另外懲處。

厄力於今天創下單節20分及上半場31的聯盟紀錄，此外，厄力曾於上一場對台鋼獵鷹技術犯規離場。

兩隊在上半場結束，中信特攻以64：52領先台啤英熊。

強烈大陸冷氣團將於2月19日至21日影響臺灣，屆時中部空曠地區可能出現攝氏10℃以下低溫，預估22日起氣溫才會稍回升。農委會臺中區農業改良場特籲請農民針對當前主要栽培作物即早做好防寒管理措施，以避免造成損失。

中部一期稻作育苗階段的秧苗綠化應以覆蓋透明塑膠布或不織布來保溫；惟覆蓋塑膠布後，在晴天無風時應適時翻開塑膠布以降溫與保持通風，避免塑膠布內溫度升高，熱傷秧苗。 此外，水稻幼苗較易受寒，面對持續低溫，葉片易呈現黃化及乾枯狀態，因此部分已插秧之稻田，建議可利用維持3公分水位的放流灌溉進行保溫，以降低秧苗受寒害風險。

果園北面搭設防風網可防止寒風直接吹襲，減輕低溫影響。易有霜害之果園，可利用噴灌設備噴水除霜，引溫度較高之地下水適度灌水以防止地溫急降傷害根部。高接梨嫁接後，可套小型塑膠袋以保護接穗。鳳梨及枇杷之果實可利用套袋或覆蓋保護，避免直接受到低溫影響。番石榴應適度疏果，減輕樹體負荷，避免樹勢衰弱導致果實品質下降或落果。新植百香果苗可套上網袋，另可於百香果苗周圍覆蓋報紙等亦有保溫效果。

中部地區目前以栽培冬季裡作之耐寒蔬菜為主，植株受寒流影響程度較低，但仍建議進行田間灌水及畦面覆蓋塑膠布、稻草等，以維持土壤溫度，或於菜園北面架設防風網，減低冷風吹襲。甘藍、大白菜及蘿蔔等十字花科蔬菜在低溫期易出現抽苔現象，建議可延緩移植或播種，避免造成小株抽苔。早植薑苗可於畦面覆蓋塑膠布以防低溫寒害。未採收果菜類蔬菜可利用套袋以避免果實直接與低溫接觸。設施蔬菜栽培者，可將側捲揚塑膠布降下以提高設施內溫度，待氣溫上升後再將塑膠布略掀開，以避免溫濕度過高造成病害發生。

強烈大陸冷氣團即將來襲 中區農改場籲農友儘速做好作物防寒措施花蕾期之盆花應注意溫室保暖。洋桔梗、非洲菊、玫瑰及滿天星等設施栽培切花，應加強溫室覆蓋與密封保溫工作，避免受冷風侵襲造成生長停滯或寒害，而待氣溫回升後，應即時打開塑膠布以調整通風，避免蓄積高溫或高濕之感病環境。露天或遮網栽培之切花，如菊花、麒麟草、百合等，種植前畦面最好鋪設防草蓆、塑膠布或稻桿等，以減緩土溫快速降低，若無相關覆蓋，則可在迎風北面設置阻風網，避免寒流直接侵襲。

甘藷生長期間建議於低溫來臨前進行灌溉處理，保持土壤濕潤，可避免土壤降溫過快，以預防植株發生寒害。

臺中區農業改良場再次籲請農友密切關注農事氣象，加強各項作物防寒措施，減少濕冷氣候對作物造成之損失，若有作物防寒相關技術需求者，請致電臺中區農業改良場專線服務電話04-8521114，洽作物改良課陳裕星課長。

記者蕭采薇／台北－洛杉磯連線報導

英國男星羅伯派汀森（Robert Pattinson）在《暮光之城》沉寂了一段時間後，因演出《天能》再次受到矚目，由他主演的《蝙蝠俠》同樣備受期待。他透露女友已經看過電影，感動得哭了外，也很喜歡他演的蝙蝠俠，覺得穿起緊身衣的男友超性感。

▲新版《蝙蝠俠》由羅伯派汀森主演。（圖／華納提供）

歷經新冠肺炎、主角確診等意外後，《蝙蝠俠》終於要在3月上映，包括導演麥特李維斯 (Matt Reeves），演員羅伯派汀森、「貓女」柔伊克拉維茲（Zoë Kravitz）、「謎語人」保羅迪諾（Paul Dano）、警探「詹姆士高登」傑佛瑞懷特（Jeffrey Wright）和黑道老大「卡麥法爾康尼」約翰特托羅（John Turturro）等人都現身記者會。

這也是「新任蝙蝠俠」羅伯派汀森交出的第一張成績單，更是繼2016年班艾佛列克後，睽違6年的「蝙蝠俠」個人電影。率直的羅伯派汀森坦言，自己從來不是超級英雄迷，但他對蝙蝠俠一直有特別的喜愛，「這個傳奇人物身上有很多歷史，當穿上蝙蝠裝時，就會感覺到責任和重量。」

▲新版《蝙蝠俠》由羅伯派汀森主演。（圖／華納提供）

此次《蝙蝠俠》的背景，是蝙蝠俠剛剛成為高譚市英雄的前兩年，他也仍在追尋自己生命的意義。羅伯派汀森形容：「儘管穿著鎧甲，但我喜歡他每一個脆弱的時刻，他其實很容易犯錯。」他也笑說，自己從片場帶走了一件不屬於蝙蝠俠的警察外套，「說實在是件酷衣服，我私下滿愛穿的。」

蝙蝠俠的經典角色貓女，此次由「水行俠繼女」柔伊克拉維茲飾演，提到如何與羅伯派汀森詮釋這對經典CP，她說：「這很容易，因為我和羅伯是認識很久的朋友。」柔伊接著解釋，其實蝙蝠俠和貓女都是孤獨的人，他們兩人的相遇，其實是終於碰上了解彼此想法的人，「他們的感情，是整個故事的核心。」

▲新版「蝙蝠俠」羅伯派汀森和「貓女」柔伊克拉維茲。（圖／華納提供）

羅伯派汀森接演了新任的蝙蝠俠，自然承受極大壓力，先前他接受主持人吉米金墨訪問時說道：「我絕不想因為是最爛的蝙蝠俠而被大家記住。」

不過女友蘇琪沃特豪斯（Suki Waterhouse）已經和他一起看過電影，對超級英雄片沒興趣的她，居然看得熱淚盈眶，還心疼的握起羅伯派汀森的手，貼在自己的臉頰上安慰。當羅伯派汀森敘述這溫情一刻時，馬上被主持人吉米追問：「那她看了有沒有覺得你超性感？」他也害羞地回應：「我想有吧。」

▲《蝙蝠俠》片長長達近3小時，除了動作外更有許多懸疑成分。（圖／華納提供）

羅伯派汀森版的《蝙蝠俠》正片將長達2小時47分鐘，再另外加上8分鐘的片尾字幕，總長度2小時55分創下了紀錄。是DC超級英雄電影中，戲院版最長的電影。許多粉絲興奮表示：「要包尿布進場了。」該片將於3月3日在台上映。

記者吳美依／編譯

微軟（Microsoft）創辦人、慈善家比爾蓋茲（Bill Gates）於18日表示，新冠肺炎的風險已經「大幅降低」，但人類肯定還會面臨另一場疫情大流行的到來，而且「下次將是不同的病原體」，而非冠狀病毒。

比爾蓋茲18日出席慕尼黑安全會議，他表示，疫情爆發至今2年多，全球大量人口獲得一定程度的免疫力，最新毒株Omicron顯示其嚴重程度減弱，與老年人、肥胖及糖尿病患者有關的重症風險也大幅降低。

CNBC報導，全球目前約61.9%人口施打至少1劑，但比爾蓋茲認為，要實現世界衛生組織（WHO）提出、2022年中旬全球7成人口接種的目標已經「太晚了」。他說，如果各國政府現在開始投資，加速疫苗研發及分配，能讓疫苗生產時間縮減至6個月，「下次我們應該試著在6個月內做到，而不是2年。替下次疫情做好準備的成本沒有那麼大。這和氣候變遷不一樣。」

比爾與美琳達．蓋茲基金會（Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation）、英國惠康信託合作，共同捐款3億美元給流行病預防創新聯盟（CEPI），協助創辦Covax計畫，向中低收入國家提供新冠疫苗。CEPI的目標是籌措35億美元，把新疫苗研發時程縮短至100天。

蜂蜜含有超过181种促进健康的物质。它将植物的健康活力转化为人类完美的活力食物。(grafvision/Shutterstock)【大纪元2022年02月18日讯】（Sayer Ji撰文／大纪元记者赵孜济编译）蜂蜜被全世界誉为大自然最美味的食物之一，但你知道它可能也具有有效的抗流感的活性吗？

《医学研究档案》（the Archives of Medical Research）发表了一项精彩的新研究，题为“蜂蜜体外抗流感病毒效应：麦卢卡蜂蜜的强效高活性”（Anti-influenza Viral Effects of Honey In Vitro: Potent High Activity of Manuka Honey）。该研究揭示了蜂蜜实际上可能是抗流感药物的天然药物替代品，但却没有达菲（Tamiflu）等该类药物恶名昭著的副作用。

该研究测试了一种常见的H1N1流感病毒株，称为A/WSN/3，用该病毒感染MadineDarby犬的肾细胞（MDCK），然后将它们暴露于各种形式的蜂蜜中，包括麦卢卡（L. scoparium）、荞麦面（F. esculentum，荞麦）、Kanro（蜜露）、金合欢（R. pseudoacacia）和Renge（A. sinicus）。

蜂蜜对流感的强效抗病毒特性实验人员在48孔板中培养MDCK细胞，并在2倍连续稀释的蜂蜜中用流感病毒感染它们，以评估蜂蜜样品的抗流感病毒作用。感染后两天，实验人员对细胞进行固定和染色，以确定它们在多大程度上阻止了流感病毒的细胞病变效应（即流感病毒感染导致细胞死亡并从板中分离的程度）。

研究结果如下图所示：所有测试的蜂蜜样品都抑制了病毒感染性，抑制程度与蜂蜜的浓度相关。结果显示了它们的抗病毒活性，麦卢卡蜂蜜表现出最大的效力。

该研究还用斑块抑制测定法测试了麦卢卡蜂蜜是否能够直接抑制流感病毒的生长。以下是4种测定方法：

细胞预处理：将麦卢卡蜂蜜加入细胞1小时，随后在病毒感染前洗净。

病毒预处理：在病毒感染前将麦卢卡蜂蜜与流感病毒悬浮液混合1小时。

感染期间治疗：在病毒吸附过程中加入麦卢卡蜂蜜1小时，随后洗净。

感染后的治疗：将麦卢卡蜂蜜加入琼脂糖凝胶中。

最有效的方法是对病毒本身进行预处理，这表明麦卢卡蜂蜜具有有效的病毒杀灭特性。在感染期间和之后用蜂蜜处理细胞时观察到斑块数量的适度减少。唯一没有显示出生长抑制的方法是细胞的预处理。

麦卢卡蜂蜜具有强大的病毒杀灭特性。(Shutterstock)蜂蜜与常规抗病毒药物的协同作用该研究还研究了麦卢卡蜂蜜与神经氨酸酶抑制剂类（neuraminidase inhibitor）中称为Relenza（zanamivir）和达菲（oseltamivir）的常规抗病毒药物组合的协同特性。研究人员评论道：

“联合使用具有不同作用机制的协同活性抗病毒化合物可能比单药治疗更具优势。”

实验人员再一次使用斑块抑制测定，但这次将药物添加到蜂蜜混合物中。结果显示麦卢卡蜂蜜显著增加了两种药物化合物的抗病毒有效性。

蜂蜜的效用原理和进一步的意义在论文的讨论部分，研究人员指出，所测试的蜂蜜的抗病毒活性可能在某种程度上归因于其中含有多种植物化学物质，特别是酚酸（phenolic acids）和类黄酮（flavonoids）。

独立研究已经证实了芦丁（rutin）和白杨素（chrysin）的抗菌特性，它们在大多数荞麦和阿拉伯胶蜂蜜中都有一定的浓度。另一方面，麦卢卡蜂蜜含有一种称为甲基乙二醛（methylglyoxal）的化合物，其浓度比任何其它测试过的蜂蜜高出约20～160倍，并且已经被证实在口蹄疫病毒中具有抗病毒特性。

该研究的作者评论说，我们生活在一个迫切需要新的抗流感药物的时代。他们指出，“由于表现出杀毒活性的化合物或植物提取物具有广泛性，因此麦卢卡蜂蜜的杀毒活性可能对H5N1和H7N9病毒有效。”这两种病毒被认为是高致病性病毒。

最后，研究人员做出了一个给人以希望的结论：

“总之，我们获得的结果表明，所有的蜂蜜，特别是麦卢卡蜂蜜，对流感病毒具有有效的抑制活性，显示出可能的药用价值。需要进一步的研究以确定麦卢卡蜂蜜中的活性抗病毒成分，并确定其与已知抗病毒药物的协同作用。”

天然抗流感替代品比比皆是这项研究是目前存在的数百项关于天然化合物在预防流感感染、降低发病率和死亡率方面的潜在作用的研究之一。GreenMedInfo.com收集了100多项此类研究，详细介绍了自然干预在这种季节性流行病中的作用。一些突出的干预措施包括：

维生素D：阳光照射对于支持对流感的天然免疫力至关重要。事实上，被称为“季节性刺激假说”的季节性流感可能在每年的秋季和冬季（特别是在高纬度和低纬度地区）触发。原因是阳光供应较低以及随后依赖阳光诱导的维生素D产生的免疫因子崩溃。

在这方面，一项研究发现，简单添加维生素D补充剂可有效预防学龄儿童季节性甲型流感，将风险降低59%。作为此前诊断为哮喘的儿童的二级病状，2名儿童哮喘发作，而12名未服用维生素D的儿童发生哮喘发作。还有证据表明，较低的太阳紫外线B辐射（和维生素D）水平是降低1918—1919年美国流感大流行病死率的重要因素。

接骨木浆果（Elberberry）：像紫色浆果这样简单的东西可能会提高预防和对抗流感的机会。2004年的一项研究发现，接骨木浆果是甲型和乙型流感病毒株的安全有效治疗方法，在2天内改善了93.3%的接骨木果治疗组的流感痊愈时间，在91.7%的对照组的6天内改善了流感的痊愈时间。

2004年的另一项研究发现，接骨木浆果比接受安慰剂的人平均提前4天缓解流感症状。细胞研究还表明，接骨木果类黄酮（flavonoids）可以与H1N1病毒结合，并预防感染。

绿茶：研究发现喝绿茶可以降低日本学龄儿童流感感染的发生率。在健康成年人（18—70岁）中，它也安全有效，可以预防流感症状和增强T细胞功能。绿茶还被发现含有抑制流感病毒进入细胞的两种主要分子手段的化合物。
