试论推进中心商务区(CBD)改造与建设的价值取向

推进中心商务区(CBD)改造与建设是当今世界国际大都市、区域中心城市功能转变的必然要求。从20世纪90年代以后,我国特大城市区域中心城市纷纷在原有基础上改造或者选择新址规划建设中心商务区,凸显现代性、国际性、功能复合性、交通规划的超前性等规划价值取向。文章在考察国内外经验的基础上,明确提出忽视城市历史文脉的保护、不珍惜民力、一哄而上、资源超强度利用、重复建设,将是对CBD改造建设价值取向的扭曲。最后讨论了建设"大大连"与中心商务区的定位和优先选择。     

现代社区规划的历史衍变与多元进程

社区规划是当代社区发展中长期的执行性计划取向,是社区建设目标最接近实质层次的计划取向,同时社区规划又是介于建筑设计、建设计划与传统平面式城市规划之间的一种制度安排。经过近十年的探索实践,我国的社区规划建设开始向深度和广度发展,以社区建设纳入国民经济与社会发展"十五"规划为标志,社区规划开始了区域发展的规范化、持续化进程。     

汉长安城规划思想辨析

汉长安城的营建是一个动态的过程,其城建规划思想不仅有对秦代宫殿的利用问题,也有取法天象的模式,北墙和南墙的曲折包含了对"北斗"及"南斗"文化思想的认识.在汉武帝大规模营建时期,由于城建思想的变化,使得汉城的布局模式发生了巨变.王莽时期受"复古"思想的影响,汉长安城南郊进入大规模修建礼制建筑的阶段.自始至终,城建规划思想一方面主要来自古礼,主要是周礼的影响;另一方面主要和阴阳五行天文术数思想有关.

Performance of TOC based finite capacity material requirement planning system for a multi-stage assembly factory

This paper aims to develop a finite capacity material requirement planning (FCMRP) system based on TOC philosophy (TOC-MRP) for multi-stage assembly factory that has some bottleneck stations. The proposed TOC-MRP system tries to load and schedule operations on bottleneck stations in a manner that they are free of idle time and overtime. The schedules on non-bottleneck stations will be arranged until they are not conflicting with those on the bottleneck stations. The non-bottleneck stations are allowed to have idle time and overtime if necessary. To analyse whether TOC-MRP is effective, it is compared with a FCMRP method that does not adopt TOC philosophy. The experimental results reveal that the TOC-MRP outperforms the FCMRP without TOC philosophy.     

Spinal Cord Injury

ABSTRACT

This article provides an overview of spinal cord injury (SCI) that is useful and informative for social workers and other health care professionals who work with this population. Social workers new to the specialty of spinal cord injury must expand their knowledge base of this chronic injury. Social workers contribute to the rehabilitation process through assessment, education, and discharge planning. This article also may be used to inform persons with spinal cord injury and their families and to encourage them to engage in dialogue about SCI in the earliest stages of treatment and rehabilitation.     

Does trust increase willingness to pay higher taxes to help the needy?

The article studies the causal effect of trust on the willingness to pay higher taxes to help the needy in a sample of 29 countries of Eastern and Southern Europe, and the former Soviet Union and Mongolia. It is hypothesized that interpersonal trust leads to a greater willingness to pay taxes to help the needy since (i) trust increases the likelihood of helping strangers; (ii) trust fosters solidarity and cooperation when working to solve common problems in society; and (iii) trust reduces suspicion with respect to the perceived misuse of redistributed money. Three key findings are that the more people trust each other, the more they are ready to support the welfare state; the effect of trust on welfare state support holds even in a contextual environment characterized by rather lower levels of trust and relatively underdeveloped systems of redistribution; and higher individual‐level trust fosters tax morale and helps deter tax evasion.     

The Value of Weather Information for E‐Commerce Operations

To be efficient, logistics operations in e‐commerce require warehousing and transportation resources to be aligned with sales. Customer orders must be fulfilled with short lead times to ensure high customer satisfaction, and the costly under‐utilization of workers must be avoided. To approach this ideal, forecasting order quantities with high accuracy is essential. Many drivers of online sales, including seasonality, special promotions and public holidays, are well known, and they have been frequently incorporated into forecasting approaches. However, the impact of weather on e‐commerce operations has not been rigorously analyzed. In this study, we integrate weather data into the sales forecasting of the largest European online fashion retailer. We find that sunshine, temperature, and rain have a significant impact on daily sales, particularly in the summer, on weekends, and on days with extreme weather. Using weather forecasts, we have significantly improved sales forecast accuracy. We find that including weather data in the sales forecast model can lead to fewer sales forecast errors, reducing them by, on average, 8.6% to 12.2% and up to 50.6% on summer weekends. In turn, the improvement in sales forecast accuracy has a measurable impact on logistics and warehousing operations. We quantify the value of incorporating weather forecasts in the planning process for the order fulfillment center workforce and show how their incorporation can be leveraged to reduce costs and increase performance. With a perfect information planning scenario, excess costs can be reduced by 11.6% compared with the cost reduction attainable with a baseline model that ignores weather information in workforce planning.     

坚持依法行政抓紧抓好计划生育工作

依法行政是抓紧抓好计划生育工作的前提 ,也是维护法律权威和保护计生干部的需要。缺乏现代法律意识、缺乏有效的监督机制、缺乏解决基层行政执法难题的有效办法、缺乏对基层计生工作公正评价的能力是计生工作中制约依法行政的因素。强化全民法律意识 ,建立激励机制、内、外部检查机制及孕前管理机制等综合措施 ,以保证计划生育依法行政
