Playing at work: Understanding the Future of Work Practices at the Institute for the Future

This paper analyses the latest management assumptions and theories of playing at work, by examining how management strategies, especially relating to new media, invoke elements of play to create distinct and competing genres of discourse. After a brief overview of the latest management crisis of innovation, we will provide a few definitions of play, followed by a short summary of where play and other competing dialogues converge and overlap at worksites historically. This context will then enable us to present an ethnographic account of play at work at a non-profit forecast research firm known as the Institute for the Future, a site where notions of play are linked to a number of business and cultural discourses about the future of new media and presented in full relief. What we find is that while elements of play exist, the discourses that arise from it do not necessarily belong in the realm of play at all. Instead, notions of play at work are tied to wider historical frameworks acknowledging earlier 1960s American counter-cultural appeals for new values in management and worker self-actualization, and linked to a process for transforming that renewed impulse into the service of a networked economy in the 1990s.

政府监管影响评估分析:国际比较与中国改革

美国、欧盟和经合组织的监管影响评估分析,反映了发达市场经济国家监管改革的共识。政府建立从提出议案、制定法律法规到事后评估的监管影响评估分析制度,运用成本—收益分析或成本有效性分析的方法,评估法律法规对经济、社会和环境的影响,旨在提高监管效率。中国正在建立和完善市场监管体制,不断提高立法质量,可以借鉴和参考发达市场经济国家监管影响分析的原则、程序和方法。

Assessment of Population Exposure and Carcinogenic Risk Posed by Volatile Organic Compounds in Indoor Air

A number of air pollutants are being found in low concentrations in indoor and outdoor air. Several studies have measured these concentrations for a large number of compounds in hundreds of residences. The concentrations range over several orders of magnitude over time and space. The log-normal distributions that are found make it possible to assess the impact on the health of populations, especially for genotoxic effects for which a threshold concentration is not expected to exist. Spreadsheets can be constructed which incorporate the unit risk of a substance for cancer, the distribution of concentrations of the substance in the population, and the size of the population into an assessment of the expected excess cases of cancer that can be attributed to the population exposure to such a toxicant. This approach allows for the evaluation of population risk for different substances as found in different environments, and for the evaluation of the relative efficacy of different strategies for population risk reduction.     

中国可再生能源电价补贴及对宏观经济的影响

从国内外各种可再生能源的补贴政策及实施情况出发,重点分析了中国可再生能源电价补贴方案、补贴额度和补贴方式,构建了基于灰色预测模型的中国可再生能源电价补贴模型,并进行了模拟测算。利用中国能源经济研究中心构建开发的中国能源环境可计算一般均衡模型,测算了可再生能源电价补贴对宏观经济的影响,实证表明中国可再生能源价格补贴对宏观经济产生显著的正影响,且经济可承受范围的电价补贴越多正影响越大。最后就中国可再生能源的定价和发展提出相关的政策建议。     

论曹禺舞台实践对其戏剧创作的影响

曹禺本人有着丰富的舞台经验。他是由舞台演出起步走向戏剧创作的。长期的舞台实践对他的戏剧创作产生了深远的影响,主要表现在创作时场面思维的运用、出色的舞台指示、人物性格的刻画、本色当行的语言以及注意观众的接受等。曹禺对舞台艺术的熟稔为他创作上的成功提供了难得的助力。     

Improving Cafeteria Patrons' Waste Disposal

This study took place in a University student cafeteria where financial restrictions meant customers were expected to clear their own tables. Initial low rates of appropriate waste disposal (mean = 13%) meant the system was ineffective. An ABACAC design was used where A was baseline, B the provision of more disposal areas, and C the provision of more disposal areas paired with 14 attractive waste disposal poster prompts. These interventions achieved higher levels of litter disposal with a mean of 29% for condition B and a mean of 46% for condition C, including follow-up. The pairing of the two methods was found more effective than increasing receptacles alone. It also proved cost efficient, yielding an estimated savings of $230 in the first year and $775 in subsequent years.     

Enhancing Victim Empathy for Sex Offenders

SUMMARY

Victim empathy is a widely used component of sex offender treatment throughout North America and Great Britain. Yet, it has been controversial over the past few years. One of the complications involves giving empathy a solid definition. Empathy was defined as the capacity to express compassion for victims. A multi-level system was developed to help specify the definition. The second issue concerns which methods to use in enhancing victim empathy. A variety of techniques are provided as specific ways in which clinicians can help enhance an offender's empathy level.     

服务补救措施的长期效果研究

过程改进、补偿措施、道歉措施、沟通措施是4种主要的服务补救措施。利用企业服务补救的真实数据, 建立向量自回归多元时间序列模型(VAR), 估计出4种常用服务补救措施的影响持续时长和长期影响大小, 揭示服务补救措施的动态效果。分析结果显示, 过程改进的影响持续时长最长, 长期影响最大;道歉措施的影响持续时长最短, 长期影响最小;补偿措施和沟通措施的影响持续时长都大于道歉措施, 且长期影响居中。
