Drawing care: the illustrated journal’s “path to place”

ABSTRACT

Naturalists argue that the greatest threat to the natural world may be our “extinction of experience” with it. We know that place matters, but what can work to restore care between people and place? In this article, I will argue that illustrated journals can reinvigorate our experience with the world. By including text and image, science and art, illustrated journals incorporate different ways of knowing. Drawing draws us into the world as we pay attention to easily missed details. Writing complements drawing by providing a space for synthesizing or imagining about the observed. Like any skilled practice, journaling transforms our understanding of the world. My illustrated field journals began when I sensed that care for today’s world demanded more tools than what my training as an ecologist, alone, could offer. Illustrated journaling can begin with a few simple drawing and writing exercises – several of which I will describe in this article. As an immersive practice in place, the process of illustrated journals matters more than the product. Page by page, illustrated journals recognize the interpretive encounters so foundational to worldmaking and, in doing so, cultivate the deep attention to, and experience of, the world that is our first step toward care.     

中国科协建设高端科技创新智库的SWOT分析

建设高端科技创新智库是中国科协走中国特色群团发展道路的重大举措，对中国科协建设高端科技创新智库面临的内外环境进行分析具有重要的现实意义。本文采用SWOT分析法对中国科协建设高端科技创新智库面临的优势、劣势、机遇和挑战进行分析，研究结果表明：中国科协在组织网络、科技工作者状况调查、民间科技外交、智库成果宣传等方面具有自身优势，但同时也存在着智库网络未充分发挥作用、人才队伍结构有待完善、体制机制障碍、智库成果水平有待提升等劣势。深度参与全球科技治理、深化科技体制改革、科协事业转型升级、大数据技术发展是中国科协面临的机遇；国际竞争格局剧烈变动、全球科技治理领域话语权有限、国内外科技智库发展迅速是中国科协建设高端科技创新智库需要应对的挑战。     

The development of IB as a scientific field

International business (IB) is today an established field in business studies with two professional associations and numerous academic publications. However, it is much younger than many other fields in the management area. Although economists were focusing on international issues even before, it was not until after the Second World War that IB started to emerge as a scientific field. The purpose of this paper is to analyse this development from the early days up to the present time. In so doing, using a theoretical framework, it focuses on the organizing of the field, i.e. how early informal contacts eventually led to the formation of formal organizations, the launching of journals, and with the passage of time the publishing of handbooks. The paper provides empirical evidence of all these steps. In this way it presents data on significant contributions to the field.     

Cognitive flexibility and adaptive decision‐making: Evidence from a laboratory study of expert decision makers

Research Summary : How can strategic decision makers overcome inertia when dealing with change? In this article we argue that cognitive flexibility (i.e., the ability to match the type of cognitive processing with the type of problem at hand) enables decision makers to achieve significantly higher decision‐making performance. We show that superior decision‐making performance is associated with using semiautomatic Type 1 cognitive processes when faced with well‐structured problems, and more deliberative Type 2 processes when faced with ill‐structured problems. Our findings shed light on the individual‐level mechanism behind organizational adaptation and complement recent work on strategic inertia. In addition, our findings extend management studies that have stressed the relevance of cognitive flexibility for responding to the demands of increasingly open, flexible, and rapidly changing organizations. Managerial Summary : Humans are creatures of habits. We tend to prefer known courses of action over new ones. In many cases, habits are good. However, when things change in unpredictable ways, the past may not be good guidance for the future. We argue that “cognitive flexibility”—the ability of understanding when to rely on habits vs. when to explore new courses of action—enables managers to switch from a “fast” decision mode, based on habits, to a “slow,” more deliberate decision mode that facilitates the exploration of new courses of action. Managers high in cognitive flexibility reflect on the situation at hand, recognize and value diversity in viewpoints, and integrate such diversity in their own decision processes. By valuing diversity, they are more likely to overcome inertia.

目前高职学报面临着出版时滞长、传播速度慢、传播范围狭窄、稿源质量堪忧、学报整体学术影响力弱等一系列发展瓶颈。在数字出版的浪潮下，通过借鉴国内外成功的期刊数字平台建设经验，整合办刊资源，立足高等职业教育特征，建设自身的数字化平台，可成为高职学报突破发展瓶颈，赢得发展机遇的优先选择。     

我国体制内智库的运行机制研究——以科技智库为例

科技智库建设是我国科技决策咨询制度建设的重要内容,而体制内科技智库在科技智库中占据主导地位。本文从体制内科技智库的内涵出发,挖掘科技智库运行机制的内涵,构建分析框架,并总结我国科技智库运行的典型经验、问题,从提升智库的独立性、加强智库统筹协调、加大智库改革力度、提升对外开放度等方面为我国体制内智库建设提出建议。     

浅析文化内涵在主题酒店设计中的表达

经济的发展推动了物质的提升,物质的提升带来了精神生活的改变,物质和精神需求的层次已不可同日而语,消费者对待消费也越发的理性,消费的个性化特征也越来越显著,主题化的事物也普遍得到消费者的青睐,这对酒店的形成提供了一个很好地发展方式和形式。怎样在本土建设主题酒店,让主题酒店融入本土风情人文以及外来主题酒店入驻本土人文并以怎样的形式展现,是现在酒店发展的一个很核心的问题。要为客户留下记忆深刻的独特体验,就需要主题酒店富有灵魂和更深层次的含义,这也是主题酒店最大的核心竞争力。     

储油罐的变位识别与罐容表标定研究

通常加油站都有若干个储存燃油的地下储油罐,并且一般都有与之配套的"油位计量管理系统",但是由于地基变形等原因,罐体会发生横向和纵向的偏斜。本文建立了数学模型对罐容量进行了重新标定。在小椭圆储油罐中,对油罐中油的形状进行了分类讨论。研究探讨了罐内储油量与油位高度及变位参数(纵向倾斜角度α和横向偏转角度β)之间的一般关系,通过模拟结果发现实验值与观察值的结果相关性很高(相关系数超过0.99)。
