因子分析在评价环境污染中的应用

一、引言 改革开放以来,中国经济取得了世人为之瞩目的成就,伴随着改革开放的不断深入和工业化的迅速推进,中国城市化的进程开始加速.城市化一方面孕育了城市现代文明,促进了经济、文化和科技的发展,改变了人们的传统生活观念;另一方面由于发展的需要,从环境获取资源的数量越来越多,排放到环境中的气体、液体和固体废弃物也迅猛增加,既造成环境污染,又造成自然资源的破坏和再生能力的下降.     

一个虚伪世界的可怕

经典电影《楚门的世界》用黑色喜剧的方式,向我们展现了一个被控制的虚假的封闭世界。在这个世界里,主人公楚门从出生的那一刻起便成为了导演克里斯托弗手中的棋子:他的人生、他的世界、他的亲人、他的朋友都是假的,每个人对楚门说过、做过的一切都是表演,所有的     

无机透明绝热涂料的研制

人类积极开发太阳能,以节约有限的资源.但太阳的强烈辐射所产生的热量也给人们的生活带来很多不便.在发达国家,冷气机组、空调设备和电风扇等降温设备所用的能量,占全年总能耗的20%以上;在中国,这些设备消耗的能量则高达41%左右,而且每年都有增加的趋势.造成这些能源过高的损耗,与建筑物采取的隔热保温措施有着很大的关系.     

从《夜宴》谈中国家族企业接班人的培养

去年,中国著名导演冯小刚导演的古装大片《夜宴》终于上映了,我们且不论影片拍得怎样,我只觉得《夜宴》这部影片整个讲述的就是一个悲剧,因为整个故事充满了杀戮和死亡,故事的主人公无一逃过悲剧的结局.而整个悲剧的就开始于先帝的死,也就是太子的父亲、厉帝的哥哥.然而这个悲剧本来是可以避免的,如果身为最高领导人的先帝有着领导者该有的警觉和睿智,他就不会被自己的弟弟害死;即使先帝死了,如果他心存危机,放眼未来,提前做好了接班人的培养和保护,实现权力的平稳过渡,这个悲剧也可以避免.因此这一系列悲剧发生的根源,就是先帝缺乏很好的接班人机制,埋下斗争的种子.     

市场经济呼唤企业应聘者提高人文素质

高等学校是培养高级专门人才的摇篮,当今,我国高校究意应培养什么样的人才来迎接激烈的国际竞争和新技术革命的挑战?这是我们广大高等教育工作共同关心的问题.严格说来,当代的大学毕业生不仅应有丰富的专业知识,还必须在哲学、语言学、文学、艺术、历史、法律、伦理学和心理学等领域有较丰富的人文知识,有较高的文化素养,有正确的世界观和人生观,有高尚的思想情操和社会责任感.     

期货交易所违规行为的剖析与防范

在现行的法律中,《期货交易所管理办法》是目前为止唯一的直接专门作用于期货交易、明确其职权责任、维护期货交易正常秩序的法律规范,体现了国家对期货交易所的监督监管.然而,从相关的条文中,我们不难看出,现有的法律法规在涉及期货交易所行为规范的时候,往往只偏重于对交易所自身组织结构和会员管理的规定.对于期货交易所的违规行为,特别是针对违规行为的具体表现方式的界定与惩治呈现真空状态.     

北环中心“中央群”现象惊出

以往，北京多以“商圈”来命名某个具有独特个性、相对成熟、稳定的商业区，如大家常说的四大商圈，即最新崛起的代表尊贵商务领域版图的建国门经济带、代表新经济公司活力无限的中关村、汇集金融势力的金融街以及汇集中国中小型成熟公司的亚奥板块。伴随着位于马甸附近的北环中心开盘，“中央群”概念也随之浮出水面。据北环中心负责人介绍，之所以称为“中央群”，是由北环中心所在区域特定的地理位置及北环中心本身的属性所决定的。     

基于信息技术的ERP与学习型企业关系的探讨

一、引言 近年来,ERP系统以其科学的企业管理理论,先进的信息技术手段,以及众多国际著名企业成功应用示范效应,赢得企业界的热烈追求.ERP系统无论是在中国,还是在全世界都掀起了一场关于管理思想和管理技术的革命.ERP最初是从制造业领域发展起来的,侧重于对生产性企业的物料、库存的管理,但实际上ERP代表的是企业内部的各种资源,可以是有形的(如原材料、半成品等),也可以是无形的,如时间、资金等.它是借用新的管理模式来改造企业原有的管理模式,是一种先进的、行之有效的管理思想和方法,它解决的是资源计划问题.     

盘点国内奢华餐厅

以厨师名字命名的连锁餐厅一家名厨经营的餐厅对自身的意义很大程度是有了演绎自己作品的舞台。特别是第一家,其意义更可说是非常深远,往往名厨的连锁餐厅的合作伙伴和一系列如米其林的美食评点都是从这第一家开始的。一旦顺利,再往后发展的几家餐厅将逐步把名厨推向另外一个高峰—     

Incumplimiento del salario mínimo en Europa central y oriental

En este estudio se analiza el incumplimiento del salario mínimo durante el periodo 2003–2012 en diez países de Europa central y oriental con salario mínimo obligatorio nacional. A partir de los datos de EU‐SILC y la metodología propuesta por Bhorat, Kanbur y Mayet (2013), se cuantifica la incidencia y magnitud del incumplimiento. Se realizan análisis de regresión sobre determinantes individuales, laborales y macroeconómicos. Aunque la incidencia permanece relativamente baja, los trabajadores a los que se dirigen las políticas de salario mínimo parecen los más expuestos a su incumplimiento. Con el tiempo, una mayor incidencia se asocia a una razón más alta entre salario mínimo y salario medio.     

Cultural Economy Planning in Creative Cities: Discourse and Practice

While a growing body of research analyses the functional mechanisms of the cultural or creative economy, there has been little attention devoted to understanding how local governments translate this work into policy. Moreover, research in this vein focuses predominately on Richard Florida's creative class thesis rather than considering the wider body of work that may influence policy. This article seeks to develop a deeper understanding of how municipalities conceptualize and plan for the cultural economy through the lens of two cities held up as model ‘creative cities’ — Austin, Texas and Toronto, Ontario. The work pays particular attention to how the cities adopt and adapt leading theories, strategies and discourses of the cultural economy. While policy documents indicate that the cities embrace the creative city model, in practice agencies tend to adapt conventional economic development strategies for cultural economy activity and appropriate the language of the creative city for multiple purposes.     

Input/output ranges and performance: an examination of US machine tool producers

Despite the establishment of high-tech multinational enterprises (MNEs) in Ireland since the late 1950s, the country did not succeed in closing the technological gap with most of its EU counterparts. The weak National System of Innovation (NSI), and in particular low business and government R&D levels, combined with a lack of research and technology linkages between MNEs and indigenous firms, explain these poor results. However, the Shannon region in the West of the country presents some specific institutional characteristics that could theoretically make the region a strong technological enclave. The various actors in the region - i.e. the administrative, financial, political and research institutions, as well as the business organizations - have indeed infused a new type of economic development. After a brief review of the available concepts and models articulated around these actors and their interrelationships, the paper analyses whether the Shannon region, taken as an illustrative example, mirrors a specific economic and technological localized setting. The study is based on a survey of indigenous and foreign firms.     

Sixty years of discrimination and diversity research in human resource management: A review with suggestions for future research directions

This article reviews discrimination and diversity research published in Human Resource Management (HRM) over the past 60 years. While discrimination and diversity are very different constructs, it is often informative to study them together, because when people recognize each other's diversity, this can result in bias, stereotyping, and discrimination. We conducted bibliographic searches for terms related to discrimination and diversity as well as a manual search through every title and abstract published in HRM over the last 60 years to assess article relevance. The search resulted in 135 research articles with 136 unique studies (i.e., samples) which are reviewed in this article. Sex and race are the demographics that have been examined the most in HRM, while religion has been examined the least. Moreover, the number of studies examining lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LGBTQ) employees in the workplace in HRM has grown quickly within the past 10 years, culminating in a recent meta‐analysis. Our review looks at some of the earliest research published, the most recent research published, and the overall trends we identified in the research over the years for both discrimination and diversity articles. We then make future research suggestions and recommendations to advance the study of discrimination and diversity in the coming years.     

The Early History of the Cumulants and the Gram-Charlier Series

The early history of the Gram-Charlier series is discussed from three points of view: (1) a generalization of Laplace's central limit theorem, (2) a least squares approximation to a continuous function by means of Chebyshev-Hermite polynomials, (3) a generalization of Gauss's normal distribution to a system of skew distributions. Thiele defined the cumulants in terms of the moments, first by a recursion formula and later by an expansion of the logarithm of the moment generating function. He devised a differential operator which adjusts any cumulant to a desired value. His little known 1899 paper in Danish on the properties of the cumulants is translated into English in the Appendix.     

Capturing the Implications of Services Trade Liberalization

This paper evaluates the impact of service sector trade liberalization on the world economy by a ten-region, eleven-sector CGE model with import embodied technology transfer from developed countries to developing countries. Simulation results show that service sector trade liberalization not only directly affects world service production and trade, but also has significant implications for other sectors in the economy. The major channel of the impact is through inter-industry input-output relations and TFP growth induced from services imported by developing countries from developed countries, which may be embodied with new information and advanced technology.     

City Children and Genderfied Neighbourhoods: The New Generation as Urban Regeneration Strategy

Former industrial cities in the West are employing gentrification as urban policy. In these policies, women and families currently play an important role as gentrification pioneers. In my analysis of Rotterdam in the Netherlands, I propose the term genderfication to understand the gender dimensions of this process. Genderfication refers to the production of space for different gender relations. I analyse Rotterdam's urban planning program for becoming a ‘child‐friendly city’, which entails replacing existing urban dwellings with new, larger and more expensive ‘family‐friendly homes’ as a strategy for urban re‐generation. Urban re‐generation supplements regeneration in the form of material and economic restructuring, and refers to the replacement of part of the current population by a new and better suited generation. The ‘child‐friendly city program’ is considered in tandem with punitive ‘youth policies’.     

Hierarchical Models in Environmental Science

Environmental systems are complicated. They include very intricate spatio-temporal processes, interacting on a wide variety of scales. There is increasingly vast amounts of data for such processes from geographical information systems, remote sensing platforms, monitoring networks, and computer models. In addition, often there is a great variety of scientific knowledge available for such systems, from partial differential equations based on first principles to panel surveys. It is argued that it is not generally adequate to consider such processes from a joint perspective. Instead, the processes often must be considered as a coherently linked system of conditional models. This paper provides a brief overview of hierarchical approaches applied to environmental processes. The key elements of such models can be considered in three general stages, the data stage, process stage, and parameter stage. In each stage, complicated dependence structure is mitigated by conditioning. For example, the data stage can incorporate measurement errors as well as multiple datasets with varying supports. The process and parameter stages can allow spatial and spatio-temporal processes as well as the direct inclusion of scientific knowledge. The paper concludes with a discussion of some outstanding problems in hierarchical modelling of environmental systems, including the need for new collaboration approaches.
