“中国生态环境威胁论”的缘起、特征与对策研究

生态环境是与经济、政治、文化、科技、外交、主权、安全、人权等紧密联系的命题.西方一些国家中的别有居心者利用其工具价值,以生态环境及其问题对处于低端发展中国家施压和遏制,甚至干涉其内政.一度时期,"中国生态环境威胁论"的噪声在西方一些国家此起彼落,具有历史性、针对性和复杂性.了解这些言论的特征,把握其向度,探讨其策略,事关中国生态文明建设与和平崛起的当前和长远.     

大学生创业“试验田”的PEST生态分析与优化对策——以上海“创YE!小店”大学生创业见习大赛为例

如何科学引导大学生创业,以社会力量进行扶持成为当前各级政府、共青团组织的重要课题。2009年,共青团上海市普陀区委联合多方力量,开展了"创YE!小店"大学生创业见习大赛,为创业大学生提供了一块创业"试验田"。本文以此为案例,采用PEST分析法对创业环境进行生态分析,并提出了优化建议。     

不同购物环境下消费者享乐主义/功利主义态度测评

享乐主义和功利主义并不是一个单纬度量表上的两个极端,对于一种消费行为而言.往往同时具有一定程度的享乐主义特性和功利主义特性.不同的购物环境下消费者享乐主义(功利主义)态度倾向会有差异以及差异是否明显,对这些问题的研究将有助于企业制定促销决策和其他管理决策.使用和开发有效的态度测量问卷,测量在不同购物环境下的消费者享乐主义/功利主义态度倾向,结果表明消费者在购物过程中虽然享乐主义和功利主义态度兼有,但仍会以某一态度为主;通过对两类态度倾向比较,表明两组购物环境中的消费者享乐主叉态度有显著差异,而功利主义态度没有显著差异.     

Environmental ethics for social work: Social work's responsibility to the non‐human world

Gray M, Coates J. Environmental ethics for social work: Social work's responsibility to the non‐human world This lead article in this Special Issue begins discussion on an environmental ethics for social work and raises arguments as to whether and, if so, why social workers have duties, obligations, responsibilities and commitments to the non‐human world. It provides an overview of the field of environmental ethics in searching for a moral stance to affirm an environmental social work. To what extent should social workers engage in fundamental geopolitical issues concerned with climate change, global warming, environmental degradation, pollution, chemical contamination, sustainable agriculture, disaster management, pet therapy, wilderness protection and so on and, if so, why and how? Are these issues incidental and peripheral and only of concern when they impact upon humans or do social workers have a responsibility beyond human interests? What is the significance of the ‘non‐human’ for social work? The article explores the terrain of the burgeoning field of environmental ethics to determine whether convincing ethical grounds for environmental social work might be found beyond hortatory claims of what the profession ought to be doing to address environmental concerns.     

Development of an urban intensity index to facilitate urban ecosystem studies in Trinidad and Tobago

Urban ecosystems, considered centres of economic, social and cultural development, face a multitude of environmental and socio-economic challenges, which impact on quality of life. Effective management of the urbanization process is believed critical to improving quality of life and realizing sustainable development. The ecosystem perspective provides a holistic approach, needed to address the complexly interconnected issues, which arise from urban development. Central to the mapping and characterization of urban ecosystems is the delineation of their boundaries, which are made less transparent by growing urbanization. This exposes the limitations of a dichotomous approach. An urban intensity index is a critical tool which supports urban ecosystem studies by facilitating analysis of effects along the urban–rural gradient. In this study, Urban Intensity is estimated and ranked from most to least intense for communities across Trinidad and Tobago, using multivariate statistical analysis of physical data from the built environment. This statistically validated index, designed for Trinidad and Tobago, should have wider applicability to other disciplines and countries.

双边投资协定（BIT）对中国OFDI区位选择的影响

双边投资协定（BIT）通过两国间政策安排的方式,降低了跨国投资者的投资门槛与风险,促进了中国OFDI的发展。但由于双边投资协定（BIT）签署国之间客观存在的发展水平与制度环境差距,其对中国OFDI影响的方式及程度可能存在明显的国别差异。利用2005—2012年中国对57个发展中国家的OFDI数据,通过面板校正标准差模（Panel Corrected Standard Error,PCSE）考察了双边投资协定（BIT）与中国OFDI区位选择的关系。从检验结果看：双边投资协定对中国OFDI具有促进作用,而且这种促进作用对低制度环境国家更加明显。     

大数据环境下双层分布式融合决策方法

为了解决大数据环境下双层分布式决策中存在的决策推理难题和信息冗余难题,基于该类决策中存在的参与主体庞杂性和业务关系交叉性分析给出了有关推断信息之间存在相关性的假设,并结合证据理论中的基本概率分配函数提出了具有柔性表达优势的推断信息描述机理,在此基础上分别针对上下两层部门构建了能够剔除管理者影响、上层部门影响且可以对部门内部所有决策主体的元推断信息进行科学融合的定理和推论,最后按照"由上至下"的决策秩序构建了大数据环境下双层分布式融合决策的方法步骤。数值对比分析结果表明提出方法具有科学性和可行性,有利于拓展大数据环境下组织管理决策问题的解决思路,探索处理不完备性数据、相关性数据的"大"模式。     

Implementing web-assisted learning and engaging academic staff in the change process

Abstract

In achieving the transition from a traditional taught mode of delivery to web-assisted learning, the management of universities now realise that change needs to be led and managed from the top down. They are also reliant on academic staff to engage in the change process. These two aspects are investigated in the context of a post-1992 university, which recently introduced a virtual learning environment (VLE) as part of a managed learning environment (MLE). Academic staff perceptions are explored within the framework of the 4-E model of staff engagement with technological change, but findings indicate a lack of evidence to support the 4-E balanced equation or likelihood-of-use factor.
