公共交通比多建停车场更重要

随着汽车保有量的增长,停车就变成了很重要的问题。汽车的无节制增加对我们的身体健康乃至将来下一代的健康都很重要。我们发现因为空气污染人们开始病了,每一年有成千上万的匈牙利人因为空气污染引起的疾病而死,有人会带着口罩在公共场所,我们不希望人们都是带着口罩在公共场所,所以我们必须要管理停车场以实现我们的目标。     

汽车排放标准的大家族

主持人：随着城市汽车保有量的急剧增加，汽车排放成为很多城市空气污染的主要来源。有关研究结果表明，北京、上海、广州等大城市汽车排放的污染物已成为这些城市空气污染的第一大污染源。据推测，今后城市汽车排放污染对空气质量的影响将越来越突出，伴随着我国私家车的快速发展，一些城市发生光化学烟雾污染事故的可能性也正在加大，必须采取措施抑制这一污染的蔓延。

More than Typewriters,More than Adding Machines: Integrating Information Technology into Political Research

It has long been recognized that information technology (IT) can facilitate (or even permit) forms of empirical analysis unimagined just a generation ago. However, political scientists have generally experimented with only a narrow range of the possibilities the new technologies offer – easier writing, editing and communications processes, and more sophisticated statistical analyses. While these have undoubtedly increased productivity and rigor within the discipline, other IT applications have largely gone unnoticed. The growing pool of Computer-Aided Qualitative Data Analysis Software (CAQDAS) technologies presents researchers with new ways to conceptualize, perceive, and communicate their research, with the potential of revolutionizing social science research. This paper offers an overview of those IT and CAQDAS solutions with the most potential to facilitate political inquiry, and offers a series of practical steps by which technological novices might begin to apply the new technologies in their research. In closing, we discuss the benefits and perils of using such technology, and suggest the ways by which IT might strengthen current research techniques. The appendix catalogues several dozen applications for data acquisition, organization, processing, analysis and presentation, with contact and pricing information.     

专家观点比哥本哈根会议更重要的

科尔尼经理Jochen Hauff参加了2009年12月在哥本哈根举行的联合国气候变化大会.全世界都关注着这场国际性大会,每个人都期盼通过此次会议人类能取得重大进步,具体的、实质性的成果能够实现.毫不夸张地说,整个地球的重量仿佛都落到了这座北欧小城上.但在所有该说的都说了该做的都做了之后,我们却发现此次哥本哈根会议的成果并没有达到大多数人预期的效果.笔者认为,比哥本哈根会议对气候变化的影响更大的是企业具体行动的落实.     

More on the Cost of Being Other Than White and Male:

ABSTRACT This article analyzes the estimated yearly earnings of white, black, and Hispanic males and white, black, and Hispanic females in order to determine two things: Whether white male earnings continue to exceed those of reference groups, and how the cost of being female (the gender effect) compares with the cost of being nonwhite (black or Hispanic). We find that white males earnings are still greater than those of other groups, but when earnings are adjusted for market related differences, most of the differentials for black and Hispanic (Mexican-American, Puerto-Rican) males disappear. Even after adjustment, however, a considerable portion of females earnings differentials remain unexplained. Gender effects are considerably larger than race or ethnic effects.     

Doing More with Less: Building Dynamic Capabilities for Eco‐Efficiency

This article sheds light on the manner in which managers perceive, develop and integrate dynamic capabilities for eco‐efficient activities inherent to industrial ecology. The research employs a case study of 12 Canadian facilities involved in the processing of a wide variety of waste materials. Findings from the experiences of 60 managers interviewed reveal that capabilities for industrial ecology largely depend upon the integration and coordination of competencies, innovations and new routines related to several functional areas: innovation and technological development; control of residual material flows; adjustments in human resources; management of environmental constraints; and networking and marketing. These dynamic capabilities are developed and integrated through a four‐stage process: local experimentation, internal operationalization, enlargement/cross‐functional integration and strategic consolidation. The paper contributes to the extant literature related to dynamic capabilities and the natural resource‐based view by offering an understanding of those factors necessary for the success of industrial ecology, and also by demonstrating the functional and dynamic nature of such factors.

More than a feeling: using hotel room attendants to improve understanding of job quality

Recent research by Adler and Adler reveals contradictory claims about the job quality of hotel room attendants; suggesting that an objectively ‘bad’ job can be perceived as subjectively ‘good’ by workers. This contradiction resonates with wider issues about how job quality is conceived – objectively and/or subjectively. Drawing on empirical research of room attendant jobs in upper market hotels in three cities in the UK and Australia, this paper addresses the contradiction by examining both the objective and subjective dimensions of job quality for room attendants. In doing so it refines Adler and Adler's work, constructs a new typology of workers and a new categorisation of job quality informed by workers characteristics and preferences. This categorisation improves conceptual understanding of job quality by enjoining its objective and subjective dimensions.     

More than lip service: linking the intensity of empowerment initiatives to individual well-being and performance

We conceptualize empowerment initiatives as varying in terms of intensity – or the degree to which the intervention is rhetorical (aiming to influence employees' sense of control at work, what we refer to as surface empowerment) as opposed to actual (aiming to influence the actual degree of employee job authority, what we refer to as deep empowerment). We then test the effects of rhetorical vs. actual empowerment interventions on employee well-being and performance, as well as the degree to which self-efficacy mediates these effects on the basis of a simulation-based experiment. Results indicate that although both surface and deep empowerment initiatives have beneficial effects on individual well-being, only the latter results in performance increase. We also find that self-efficacy fully mediates the association between surface empowerment (as compared with non-empowerment) and well-being, but only partially mediates the association between deep empowerment (as compared with non-empowerment) and well-being.     

城市公用事业公私合作、逆民营化困境与对策——以城市公交行业为例

公私合作是新公共管理理论和新监管理论在公共服务市场化改革中的具体应用,在发达国家总体上取得了较好的效果。但我国公交公私合作经历改革热潮后,大多却以逆民营化收场,形成国有低效与民营乱象的两难困境。分析发现,并非城市公用事业不需要或不能进行公私合作,而是进行有效的公私合作需要一定的制度条件与监管措施,其中法律规范、市场机制及公共管理能力等都是影响其成效的关键因素。在上述条件不完善时,盲目推行公私合作难以取得预期效果,逆民营化现象也在情理之中。因此需要在完善上述制度能力的基础上,破解公私合作困境,提升公共服务质量。     

城市公共交通满意度分析——以厦门岛为例

城市公共交通服务水平的提高对于促进城市交通可持续发展具有重要意义。公共交通满意度是乘客对于公共交通服务的一项直接反馈信息,反映了城市公共交通状况。在对厦门岛居民公共交通满意度大量数据调查的基础上,本文从住区尺度对居民的公共交通满意度进行了空间分析,然后结合受访居民聚类分析的结果,对厦门岛公共交通现状进行综合评价。评价结果表明:厦门岛整体公共交通满意度是可以接受的,但是满意度在空间分布上存在差异;公共交通中快速公交满意度高于普通公交;公共交通仍然在居民常用出行方式里面占有重要地位。最后找出存在的问题并提出优化的建议。
