生态、城市与救赎

关是在人的实践活动中形成的。美的形成通过实践却对实践的功利性有一定程度的超越。生态美学强调的是人与自然的共生关系。实践美学是在哲学美学中引入实践层面的思考，其投射到城市建设上就是：一座城市要有个性才是美。城市美的根源是多样的，但最终还是由城市中人的主体创造精神来决定。当代美学的救赎使命之一，就是通过“拆墙”来打破美学的“围城”，其在实践中体现为生态关学，这是哲学、伦理学和美学都背离了生态的原则之后尝试实现的一种美学回归。

Community-based approaches to social exclusion among rural-to-urban migrants in China

Rural-to-urban migrants in China face numerous forms of social exclusion. This article argues that community-based approaches offer innovative ways with which to tackle the problems of social exclusion for rural-to-urban migrants, yet these approaches have been neglected. This article first provides an overview of the concept of social exclusion, as developed by Western European scholarship and policy discourse. Next, it examines the ways in which these concepts are relevant to the context of rural-to-urban migrants within China. Finally, this article conceptualizes the social exclusion paradigm from a community practice perspective and offers the implications of this paradigm for community-level interventions.     

Short-Term Employment Services for Homeless Individuals: Perceptions from Stakeholders in a Community Partnership

ABSTRACT

This article examines the importance and feasibility of immediate employment for homeless individuals from perspectives of stakeholders in a community partnership. Using grounded theory and an editing-style approach, in-depth interviews were analyzed with service recipients (n= 13) and providers (n= 9). Stakeholders viewed employment services differently. While recipients were optimistic that short-term employment services could yield immediate employment despite their barriers, providers articulated the importance of providing individualized case management with realistic expectations for homeless individuals to secure long-term, dependable employment rather than low-wage, short-term jobs. Future studies should examine discrepancies in perspectives to strengthen findings presented here and better determine employment services to meet provider and recipient expectations and goals.     

Sustainable business – Leading yourself and business into the future

Abstract

In the industrial era the development and use of the term ‘economic efficiency’ was too narrow. The exclusive one-sided focus on financial success led to consequences with yet unforeseeable risks and dangers. We must radically redefine economic efficiency if we want to foster well-known and needed sustainable living conditions on earth. To act in an economical fashion must imply value creation for the company, the environment and society. The evaluation of economic success must take all three criteria of value into account equally. To achieve such sustainable win-win-win situations, the full utilization of employee and business partner potential is required. Only an evolving culture of cooperation at all levels will ensure best solutions for developing and maintaining a healthy life base, leading away from the paradigm of absolute competition. Ways and means to reach these objectives are presented: old wisdom is combined with modern management control systems and the consequent change in evaluating the success of management.     

加强党员队伍建设的思考

据最新统计,到2012年底,中国共产党的总人数已达到8 512.7万名。随着党员规模的不断扩大,一些党员存在着理想信念动摇,组织纪律松懈,有的甚至思想蜕变,堕落腐化等问题。为此,党的"十八大"明确提出,要加强党员管理,健全党员能进能出机制,优化党员队伍结构,提高党员队伍整体素质。加强党员队伍建设,需要处理好数量与质量、党员进出党员队伍的关系,利用好外延调控与内涵提高的不同功用,协调好主体性与非主体性之间的关系。
