乡土建筑的地域性表达研究——以喀什高台民居为例

地域性是建筑的特殊属性。在民族文化、乡情民俗、建筑语言的规范和约束下,不同的民族都有其独特的建筑文化传承,乡土建筑从某种方面来讲就是建筑地域文化的一种表达。喀什地区的高台民居是实践选择的结果,具有浓烈的地域性。从空间形态、建筑造型、建构与材料三个方面对其所蕴含的地域性进行剖析,反思建筑地域性在当代建筑设计中的意义。     

浅谈发展地域性民居建筑的必要性

每个地域有着其各自的历史,自然在当地也保留着历史的积淀。作为历史文化结晶的地域建筑,是地域文化在物质环境和空间形态上的体现。正是由于建筑的地域性差异才使世界建筑文化变得丰富多彩,发展地域性民居建筑是对传统居住文化精神的继承和发展。地域性民居建筑在现今社会有着举足轻重的意义。本文对如何发展地域性民居建筑进行研究分析。     

新技术背景下的地域性室内设计探讨

从技术与情感的角度来分析地域性文化,并通过对建筑室内设计实例的分析,探讨在新技术背景下的地域性室内设计方法,从而有效的指导设计实践。     

建筑本体视角下的建构文化再思考

建构从建筑本体视角出发，从概念产生到批判性应用，其内涵随不同语境的建筑实践已发生变化，其作为一种观念或方法论，对如今建筑界是否还具有价值值得思考。文章从建构的概念和产生背景出发，通过若干案例对当下的建构秩序进行重新梳理，并对建构理念进行探讨，最后结合当下建筑界的现状及问题，重新审视建构对当下建筑创作的现实意义。     

基于本土文化适切性的工作家庭促进跨文化思考

工作家庭间的积极作用日益引起重视,但西方研究居多.它在中国情境下的本土化推进日益成为一个关键性工作,这是本土化研究实现与西方研究平等“对话”的基础.在推进工作家庭促进本土化研究的进程中,其文化适切性的系统思考显得急为迫切.基于个人主义/集体主义、人本导向、具体性/扩散性、普遍主义/特殊主义等文化维度,本文进行了中国情境下工作家庭促进的一系列跨文化对比分析,透视了跨文化研究的地域性差异.同时,研究从本土情境下的工作家庭促进内涵和特征、有效性、作用机制及实施效果切入,呈现了未来研究的价值取向.     

论教育建筑设计中的地域性表达

教育建筑是城市建筑的重要类型,对于教育事业的发展和建筑事业的进步有着双重价值和作用。教育建筑设计中应该体现地域性,要通过地域性的表达形成富有地域特点、文化特征和教育功能的综合性教育建筑。本文以地域的视角对教育建筑设计工作进行了重新审视,提出了教育建筑设计中表达地域性的观念,提供了教育建筑设计中宏观布局、内部空间和微观处理方面的要点,希望能够对教育建筑更好地表达地域性有所启迪。     

城市更新的文化导向:理论内涵、实践模式及其经验启示

追求城市的文化内涵是新时期城市发展的内在要求。文化导向的城市更新强调以文化作为城市更新的推动力与目标,追求在空间再生产的过程中重塑城市的文化内涵,提升城市的文化吸引力。进一步厘清其理论内涵、总结各地的政策模式并反思其经验启示,对我国城市更新探索"后地产导向"模式、推进"文化导向"的实现路径具有指导意义。首先,理解文化导向城市更新的理论内涵,一方面需要反思文化与空间的辩证关系;另一方面需要从工具主义与功能主义两个视角来理解其背后的政策理性。其次,结合城市文化的本质属性,文化导向的城市更新可以划分为基于文化地域性、文化阶层性与文化功能性等三种战略模式。最后,对我国开展文化导向的城市更新而言,值得借鉴的经验包括:在城市政策理性上,需要回归公共价值;在文化战略选择上,采用综合性的文化政策思考;在政策执行方面,则需要关注对城市创意人才的培育,并推进政府职能转变。     

关于住宅建筑设计中的地域性表达探析

我国各地区的地域性有所不同，将其融入住宅建筑设计之中，能够增加地方民众对于住宅建筑的认可，满足其对建筑的各项需求，然而，现代建筑设计中在地域性表达上存在些许不足。为从根本上解决这一问题，本文以住宅建筑设计为核心，阐明地域性表达趋势与意义，指明住宅建筑设计的核心原则，并提出地域性表达的设计要点，以供参考。

Options as a Marketing Tool: Pricing a Promotional Scheme for a Product with a Secondary Market

Adding options to durable products allows new opportunities for manufacturers and retailers in markets with a secondary market to create better segmentation schemes, provide creative means to differentiate their products and services, and increase the value they offer consumers. This raises the need for sellers to properly price such options. This work presents a few examples of incentive programs for the car industry, develops models and calculates their cost to the seller, demonstrating the applicability of the proposed methodology. Our numerical results indicate that such options are surprisingly inexpensive for car manufacturers and dealers. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

营销团队建设“三步曲”

“铁打的保险公司，流水的保险代理人”，保险公司各级主管在这边马不停蹄不遗余力地增员，报纸、网站上的代理人招聘广告铺天盖地满天飞扬，不停地面试，然后不停地办理入职手续。业务员却在那边不间断地流失和“阵亡”，好不容易搭建起来的营销团队，一不留神就没有了，主管们又重新变成“光杆司令”了，只好孤军奋战，还有那些“没走”的，也就是处于名存实亡状态的“睡眠代理人”。新面孔不断出现，“不老的面孔”不断地消失，人员的频繁进出构成保险公司营销部门一道独特的行业风景线。请看——[编者按]     

Congestion in a city with a central bottleneck

We consider dynamic congestion in an urban setting where trip origins are spatially distributed. All travelers must pass through a downtown bottleneck in order to reach their destination in the CBD. Each traveler chooses departure time to maximize general concave scheduling utility. We find that, at equilibrium, travelers sort according to their distance to the destination; the queue is always unimodal regardless of the spatial distribution of trip origins. We construct a welfare maximizing tolling regime, which eliminates congestion. All travelers located beyond a critical distance from the CBD gain from tolling, even when toll revenues are not redistributed, while nearby travelers lose. We discuss our results in the context of acceptability of tolling policies.     

Reevaluating waste as a resource under a circular economy approach from a system perspective: Findings from a case study

The circular economy (CE), definable as a system focused on the reorganization of material, information, and energy flows to achieve greater resource efficiency through the reuse, remanufacturing, and recycling of materials, is a concept widely discussed by practitioners and scientists of many disciplines. Waste recycling is integral to the CE, but there are still few articles focused on waste, and only few studies shed light on CE implementation at the company level. This paper focuses on a particular type of waste, that is, absorbent hygiene products (AHPs), which represents a nonnegligible fraction of municipal solid waste, considered an increasingly serious global challenge. We conducted our analysis on FaterSMART, an Italian firm that developed a unique worldwide technology able to totally convert AHP raw material wastes into recyclable materials, under a CE approach. The case study findings are based upon semi-structured interviews, direct observations, and analysis of FaterSMART's archival documents and are analyzed according to a framework developed for the research and focused on the place of waste from a linear economy, in which waste is considered a burden to CE, in which waste is considered a resource. The latter case is what we found that happens at FaterSMART. FaterSMART's findings could contribute to open up new management scenarios and stimulate further research into how this and similar types of technology will help societies to change from the “use-it-once-and-throw-it away” mentality of linear business models to the sustainable CE model that fully conceptualize waste as a resource for the system.     

Advertising a product to face a competitor entry: a differential game approach

We analyze a market in which advertising is the dominant marketing tool to create market share. We assume that an incumbent firm dominates the market during an initial stage, and that a new competitor is going to enter the market. In particular, we analyze the different advertising policies that the incumbent firm can adopt, before and after the entry of the rival. We explore three possible behaviours. In the first scenario the firm knows that the competitor will arrive at a given instant. In the second one we assume the original firm to be surprised, in the sense that it does not anticipate the entry of the opponent either because it does not expect the competitor to arrive, or it is not prepared to react before the entry takes place. Finally, in the third scenario, the original firm knows that the competitor will enter at a constant rate. We characterize a differential game model and compare the firms’ behaviours in a strategic perspective.     

Between a rock and a hard place: managing diversity in a shareholder society

This study examines whether the appointment of racial/ethnic minorities into top management positions has a different impact on share price than the appointment of Caucasians into equivalent positions. Our dependent variable is the degree of change in share price following the announcement of racial/ethnic minority and Caucasian men into senior management positions. Market reaction to the naming of racial/ethnic minorities into corporate leadership positions is significant and negative, while the market's reaction to the naming of Caucasians is significant and positive. However, the negative market reaction to the appointment of racial/ethnic minorities into top management positions is mitigated in those firms that have explicitly incorporated diversity into their strategic growth plan. Our findings suggest that to successfully introduce diversity into upper management, firm decision makers must first signal the importance of diversity to market actors.     

Simulation of a blood-inventory-bank system in a hospital

A blood-bank inventory system has been analysed viewing it as an inventory-hank system where the demand forecasting forms a part of the inventory model. A simulation model incorporating the “desired-beginning-inventory-level” policy has been used for the analysis of system-performance. Optimal inventory policy-guidelines have been suggested for a hospital blood-bank using blood shortage and blood out-dating as the two important components of the measure of effectiveness. Numerical results have been given.
