自然·传统与建筑创作

通过对阿尔瓦·阿尔托表现自然主题的几种方法的分析 ,揭示其结合自然环境 ,表达建筑地方化与人情化的创作手法 ,寻求当前在全球化形势下对我国建筑地方化创作的借鉴意义 .     

哲学视域中的人类中心主义

人类中心主义既不是人类专制主义,也不是人类沙文主义,全球生态危机是"生态帝国主义"以及社会经济制度和管理体制的缺失所使然。不是人类中心主义造成了全球生态危机,而是全球生态危机造成了人类中心主义的灾难。所以,人类中心主义应该成为批判的主体,而不是批判的客体。     

The Tyranny of the Customer and the Cost of Consumerism: An Analysis Using Systems and Psychoanalytic Approaches to Groups and Society

This paper argues that an organizationaldiscourse on consumerism is replacing a prior discourseof dependency. This discourse encourages, and isencouraged by, economic rationales for behavior and ismarked by the collapse of many complex societal rolesinto the simpler category of customer.Moreover, practices emergent from consumerism andeconomic rationalism often act as organizational andsocial defences against anxieties about theuncertainties and changes occurring in a worldincreasingly dominated by global markets where thecustomer is sovereign. Six workinghypotheses are proposed to explain the operation of these new socialdefences. Evidence in support of these hypotheses comesfrom collaborative action research projects in which theauthor is involved. The argument moves toward a consideration of the new consumerprovider pair which, it is proposed, has becomea major signifier within the consumer discourse andwhich might be considered as a transitional pair indealing with widespread organizationalchange.     

中国湿地经典--红河哈尼梯田

红河哈尼梯田是哀牢山区以哈尼族为代表的各族人民在千百年勤奋劳作中开创的一套梯田文明系统,它是中国山区稻田农耕的最高典范,更是中国人工湿地的不朽经典。它在原先没有湿地的哀牢山区创造了人工湿地梯田,与长江中下游平原和三江平原改变天然湿地为稻田和耕地相比,更显出它保持水土、调节气候、维护生物多样性等湿地功能。

Sequential experimental design and response optimisation

We consider the situation where one wants to maximise a functionf(θ,x) with respect tox, with θ unknown and estimated from observationsy _k . This may correspond to the case of a regression model, where one observesy _k =f(θ,x _k )+ε _k , with ε _k some random error, or to the Bernoulli case wherey _k ∈{0, 1}, with Pr[y _k =1|θ,x _k |=f(θ,x _k ). Special attention is given to sequences given by , with an estimated value of θ obtained from (x₁, y₁),...,(x _k ,y _k ) andd _k (x) a penalty for poor estimation. Approximately optimal rules are suggested in the linear regression case with a finite horizon, where one wants to maximize ∑ _i=1 ^N w _i f(θ, x _i ) with {w _i } a weighting sequence. Various examples are presented, with a comparison with a Polya urn design and an up-and-down method for a binary response problem.     

麦克卢汉的全球化思想初探

麦克卢汉首创"地球村"的概念,他把地球村分为传统的地球村和赛博空间的地球村,地球村理论的确立是全球化思想的萌芽,对全球化理论产生了深远影响。本文试图从分析地球村理论来探讨麦克卢汉的全球化思想。     

基于全球伦理准则的标准化/本地化——以创建全球性品牌为目标

为了创建全球性品牌,企业需要权衡标准化/本地化上的决策。从全球伦理准则的观点来看,企业需要建立全球统一的企业伦理规范,并以此作为在各个国家市场中计算各项资源单位成本和产品单位收益的标准,进而决策在各个东道国市场中的标准化/本地化问题。只有这样的决策才能使企业在全球范围内都树立较高的企业形象和品牌形象,才能使企业创建全球性品牌。     

Constructing optimal designs for fitting pharmacokinetic models

We consider some computational issues that arise when searching for optimal designs for pharmacokinetic (PK) studies. Special factors that distinguish these are (i) repeated observations are taken from each subject and the observations are usually described by a nonlinear mixed model (NLMM), (ii) design criteria depend on the model fitting procedure, (iii) in addition to providing efficient parameter estimates, the design must also permit model checking, (iv) in practice there are several design constraints, (v) the design criteria are computationally expensive to evaluate and often numerical integration is needed and finally (vi) local optimisation procedures may fail to converge or get trapped at local optima.We review current optimal design algorithms and explore the possibility of using global optimisation procedures. We use these latter procedures to find some optimal designs.For multi-purpose designs we suggest two surrogate design criteria for model checking and illustrate their use.     

全球与区域阶层的权力转移:兼论中国的和平崛起

本文研究全球与区域阶层的权力转移,认为权力转移有两种模式:自然替代型与扩张替代型.本文也指出权力的三重内涵:自然禀赋、整体产出以及制度与技术创新能力.在全球阶层,美国的这些权力要素尚未被次级力量所全面超出,中、日、俄、印、欧尚无力形成全球权力转移.在区域阶层,在欧洲和亚洲已经出现权力转移,德国和中国正在欧、亚取得地区主导权,尽管它们尚无可能根本改变全球的权力结构.
