面向开放式团队知识创新的动态标签关联网研究

知识创新是企业提高核心竞争力最重要的手段之一。当今世界经济一体化,全球创新方向正在向开放式创新转变。开放式创新环境下,跨组织、跨地域的开放式创新团队成为知识创新的主要载体。社会化标签能够使团队成员按照自己对知识的认知方式进行知识交互与协作,有利于促进开放式团队知识创新。但是由于标签标注的自由性,如何建立标签之间的关联关系以更有效地支持开放式环境中基于标签的知识管理与知识创新成为该领域的关键议题。本文研究并提出了面向开放式团队知识创新的动态标签关联网方法,并对该方法进行了应用研究,通过比较实验组和对照组的应用结果,可以发现面向开放式团队知识创新的动态标签关联网方法能够动态地展示标签之间的关联关系,从而支持开放式环境中的团队知识创新。     

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.     

能源消费背景下中国的环境质量与公众健康

在揭示中国能源消费的环境影响的基础上,利用因子分析方法对1990~2005年间中国环境质量与公众健康的总体水平进行了评价,并对环境质量与公众健康的作用进行了实证研究。研究结果表明,环境质量与公众健康状况具有相似的波动性协同变化趋势,环境质量及其构成要素对公众健康存在单向因果关系。调整能源结构,促进能源消费结构的"绿色化";加强能源消费的健康风险识别,全面实施污染物综合消减;运用市场化手段促进能源消费环境成本内部化仍然是控制污染物质的排放、改善中国环境质量与提高公众健康水平的重要途径。     

国际投资视角下东道国环境管制与间接征收之冲突与协调

投资东道国为保护本国环境而采取的措施如果对外国投资者造成了相当于征收的效果则可能被提起间接征收的申诉而面临补偿,这引起了东道国环境管制权力与私人财产权之间的激烈冲突。然而合理、善意的环境管制措施应当远离征收之诉的藩篱,为此,WTO及一些区域协议等的做法值得借鉴。     

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。     

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.     

Left behind: How to encourage biological parents' involvement in their children's group homes

This paper addresses the challenges and benefits of involving biological parents in group homes in Israel and presents various means to encourage their involvement in care. Using family systems theories and the concept of co‐parenting, it analyses the fragile and complex relationship caseworkers and foster parents have with biological parents. The paper presents four components that might play a role in encouraging parental involvement to benefit their children's adjustment. The components are demonstrated through case studies and include assessing the family profile; addressing the family's needs within the child's intervention plan; training biological and foster parents; and building co‐parenting between biological and foster parents.     

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.
