Travelling risks: How did nanotechnology become a risk in India and South Africa?

India and South Africa have invested in nanotechnology since the early 2000s and have identified risks to human health and the environment as an important issue for governance. This is exemplary for a wider trend in which ‘developing countries’ play an increasingly prominent role in the development, production and use of emerging technologies. This validates the claim of the world risk society thesis that countries around the world are now confronted with the risks of emerging technologies. Little is known, however, about the way developing countries deal with the potential risks of emerging technologies. Starting from the observation that the risk colonization of nanotechnology in developing countries cannot be taken for granted, this article draws upon the relational theory of risk in order to investigate how nanotechnology became understood as an object of risk in South Africa and India. The article shows that nanotechnology was constituted as an object of risk in rather different ways in India and South Africa, demonstrating that the spread of risk discourses – and the emergence of a world risk society – cannot be understood without attending to the local context. The article shows that way risk is understood and dealt with changes as risk discourses travel around the world, giving many different faces to the world risk society.     

基于低碳经济的能源结构和产业结构协调度评价研究

只有能源结构和产业结构协调发展,才能促进低碳经济目标的实现。在对基于低碳经济的能源结构和产业结构协调关系进行阐述的基础上,综合运用粗糙集理论和AHP法进行指标约简和权值计算,进而通过灰色关联分析方法构建了基于低碳经济的能源结构和产业结构协调度定量评价模型,并进行实证分析。结果表明：1994～2009年,基于低碳经济的我国能源结构和产业结构协调程度不断提高,但仍处于低度协调水平。     

The Life-Cycle Pattern of Collegiate GPA: Longitudinal Cohort Analysis and Grade Inflation

Individual semester-by-semester undergraduate grade point average for each of the eight semesters of the collegiate academic life cycle for five entire student cohorts for the classes of 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, and 2002 at a large, private university in the northeast (N = 12,663) reveal a "check-mark" pattern: students' grades fell in the second semester, rose thereafter, and slumped in the last academic term. Attrition and participation in the Greek system explain over half of the longitudinal change in academic achievement. A comparison of the five cohorts of students indicates a rate of grade inflation comparable to that obtained for multischool studies covering the period 1960 to the late 1990s.     

基于基尼系数的农用地等别差异程度分析

该文利用基尼系数法定量分析了我国农用地等别差异程度,深化了对农用地分等成果的认识,结论表明我国耕地基尼系数为0.2523.除台湾以外的其他31省份的耕地基尼系数处于0.0002 ～0.3481之间.我国农用地等别差异程度较大,由低到高分为三级,则一级地区主要沿西南-东北方向分布,二级地区主要分布在东北、东南以及西部的西藏和四川,三级地区集中分布在我国中北部,包括青海、甘肃、宁夏、陕西、山西、河北6省.     

Globalization and the Renewal of Asian Business Networks

How are Asia's business networks responding to the growing integration of the region into the global economy? To address the question the paper identifies two distinct types of Asian business network originating in two different institutional contexts. It is argued that these original contexts have imprinted upon dominant firms' governance structures and influence their preferred networking mode. Consequently, the renewal of business networks reflects the pressures of globalization and the governance structures of the dominant organizational forms in the networks. Two types of network (global commodity chains and family business groups) are described and the global pressures for change bearing upon them outlined.     

水产品冷链物流流通网络布局设计——以福建省为例

以福建省为例,主要从经济能力、物流发展潜力、服务能力和地理要素等四方面提出了影响福建省水产品冷链物流网络的指标,运用灰色聚类的分析方法,将福建省主要的9个地级市作为物流节点进行水产品冷链物流网络的总体规划,提出了较为具体的布局方案。结果表明,将福州、厦门、泉州和漳州四市作为冷链物流园区节点城市;将龙岩和莆田两市作为物流中心节点城市;将三明、南平和宁德三市作为配送中心的节点城市。在此基础上,综合考虑福建省地理要素和物流网络经济性,对水产品冷链物流网络布局予以细化,以期为相关决策提供参考。     

鄂尔多斯区域物流需求预测分析

通过对鄂尔多斯地区主要产业类别进行分析,利用灰色预测法对主要产业的货物产量进行了预测。预测结果表明,鄂尔多斯主要产业的货物产量在未来会保持快速增长趋势。因此,鄂尔多斯区域物流除了要实现传统的货物集散、仓储、配送、增值服务等功能,还应该充分挖掘鄂尔多斯优势,发展重点产品的物流园区建设,如煤炭、化肥、粮食等;还需要发展特色产品的加工制造业,如奶类、呢绒等。
