安民公所与北京近代环卫事业的起步

安民公所是八国联军占领北京期间,由在京官绅申请、在清政府支持和列强允许下建立的具有浓厚殖民色彩的治安机构。安民公所运用了一些西方的管理模式,尽管西方管理内容还非常少,但对北京的环卫建设却产生了深远影响。     

Community-Based Services and Depression from Person-Environment Fit Perspective: Focusing on Functional Impairments and Living Alone

ABSTRACT

Guided by the Person-Environment Fit perspective, we investigated the extent to which personal and environmental factors influence depression among community-dwelling adults. The data came from the special section about community-based service utilization in the 2012 Health and Retirement Study (N=1,710). Although community-based service was not significantly associated with depression after controlling for covariates, respondents with functional limitations and living alone were less likely to be depressed when using community-based services. This study demonstrates the different associations between community-based services and depression depending on personal needs. It discusses the importance of community-based services for aging-in-place policy, particularly among vulnerable populations.     

别居法律制度研究

别居制度是国外亲属法或家庭法中的重要内容,它主要是指解除夫妻间的同居,但仍保持其婚姻关系的法律制度。我国婚姻法中无此规定,但现实生活中已出现大量事实上的别居现象,需要法律予以规制。结合有关国外的立法及本国的国情,阐述了别居的内涵、种类及对于我国设立别居制度的意义、别居制度的具体内容等问题,旨在抛砖引玉,为共同完善我国婚姻家庭法奠定理论基础。     

Uncovered and disrespected. A qualitative study of Jordanian women’s experience of privacy in birth

BackgroundPrivacy is related to a person’s sense of self and the need to be respected and it is a key factor that contributes to women’s satisfaction with their birth experiences.AimTo examine the meaning of privacy for Jordanian women during labour and birth.MethodA qualitative interpretive design was used. Data were collected through face-to-face semi-structured interviews with 27 Jordanian women. Of these women, 20 were living in Jordan while seven were living in Australia (with birthing experience in both Jordan and Australia). Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.ResultsThe phrase ‘there is no privacy’ captured women’s experience of birth in Jordanian public hospitals and in some private hospital settings. Women in public hospitals in Jordan had to share a room during their labour with no screening. This experience meant that they were, “lying there for everyone to see”, “not even covered by a sheet” and with doctors and others coming in and out of their room. This experience contrasted with birth experienced in Australia.ConclusionsThis study explicates the meaning of privacy to Jordanian women and demonstrates the impact of the lack of privacy during labour and birth. Seeking a birth in a private hospital in Jordan was one of the strategies that women used to gain privacy, although this was not always achieved. Some strategies were identified to facilitate privacy, such as being covered by a sheet; however, even simple practices are difficult to change in a patriarchal, medically dominated maternity system.     

制度环境、公司治理与股价信息含量

股价信息含量决定因素研究是目前资本市场领域的实证研究热点,以2000年～2005年的中国上市公司为研究样本,采用非平衡面板教据模型的回归方法,实证分析制度环境与公司治理因素对股价信息含量的影响,制度环境因素包括区域制度环境和双重上市两个方面,公司治理因素包括股权结构、董事会特征、治理会议、管理层激励和审计质量5个方面.实证结果表明,在制度环境较好的省市,股价信息含量较高,第一大股东持股比例与股价信息含量呈倒U型关系,双重上市、股权制衡度、独立董事比例、董事会规模、股东与董事会年度会议次数和管理层持股比例与股价信息含量显著正相关,国有股比例与股价信息含量显著负相关,两职合一和审计质量对股价信息含量没有显著影响.实证结果时于如何提高证券市场股价信息含量和资源配置效率有较大的政策指导意义.     

The contingent nature of best practices in national competitiveness: The case of American and Japanese innovation processes

We propose that the differences in competitiveness of companies from different countries is not just a question of the adoption of ‘better’ management models, as conventional wisdom would have us believe; rather, we contend that national competitiveness can change radically over time without significant changes in management practices. Contrary to much of the management literature we hold that changes in the global business environment often determine to a large degree the competitiveness of companies. Based on our assumptions we offer four specific lessons of how companies can increase their competitiveness within the constraints of the socio-cultural context in which they operate.     

How Plant Managers' Experiences and Attitudes Toward Sustainability Relate to Operational Performance

Managers are increasingly faced with pressure to think not just about profits, but also about their organization's environmental and social performance. This research provides a first examination of operational managers' experiences with and attitudes about employee well‐being and environmental issues, how these factors impact employee well‐being and environmental performance, and how the three performance measures interrelate. We use violations of Occupational Safety and Health Administration regulations and Toxic Release Inventory reports of emissions as proxies for employee well‐being and environmental performance. Our findings suggest that operational managers do not (yet) think in sustainability terms. However, employee well‐being and environmental performance do interact in a significant way with operational performance. Hence, operational managers would benefit from a more complete understanding of the relationships among the elements of the triple bottom line.     

网络环境下服务科学与创新管理研究展望

基于网络环境的服务发展与创新已成为经济发展的新引擎。本文在分析网络环境下服务特征基础上,探讨了其对服务科学与创新管理研究的影响。结合我国社会经济发展对现代服务快速增长的需求,本文提炼了服务科学研究的三类基本科学问题,包括服务价值的内涵与度量,服务资源的要素及其价值生成,和服务关系的界定与形成问题;提出了服务与创新管理的四个重要研究领域,即：服务生态系统的形成与演化,服务资源要素的组织与协调,服务的关联与融合和社会服务运作管理问题。在四个重要研究领域的进一步分析中,论文以一个异质数据服务资源的组织与融合为例,描述了服务资源组织与协调的一个具体问题,说明了已有研究方法解决该问题的困难,和未来该问题研究需要关注的重点;另以平台服务中基于价值和关系的服务定价问题为例,说明服务关联与融合研究的挑战及其未来研究的努力方向。     

基于模糊信息熵的环境管理过程控制能力

建立了环境管理过程的闭环过程控制系统模型,用模糊控制系统表达环境管理过程中的不确定性,分析了环境管理过程的控制能力,建立了过程控制能力函数。将信息熵引入模糊环境过程控制函数的参数识别,建立了环境管理过程度量方法。同时,建立了环境管理过程决策支持系统,以实现环境管理过程的参数识别和能力评估。
