'The environment matters' and 'designing toward the whole'

A nurse/health care executive/architecture specialist and an artist/designer offer insights to creating environments that effectively support the delivery of care, the wellbeing of patients and their families, and the well-being of the health care workforce. The care environment is more than bricks, mortar, doors, windows, walls, and flooring. It is a sanctuary where healing can take place, where the spirit can be released, and where the provision of care, often fairly intimate, can happen through the connection between patient and care providers. Evidence-based design has brought forth the kind of inquiry and solutions that begin to address what an environment for healing requires. The interaction of built environment, staff, patients, families, and doctors is an overlapping ebb and flow that relies at its heart on the ability to hold all the parts as having equal priority.     

Pushing on a String: How policy might encourage private doctors to compete with the public sector on the basis of quality

Results from the Philippine Quality Improvement Demonstration Study show that a policy that expands insurance coverage improves quality of care, as measured by clinical performance vignettes, among public physicians, and induces a spillover effect that improves quality among private physicians.     

资本主义的多样性

概览法国、意大利、荷兰、中国、阿根廷——其贯穿于19世纪的资本主义制度的历史都有其迷人的特别之处,尽管在这篇短文中,我们关注的是英国、美国、德国和日本,这四个国家是有关"莱茵河与盎格鲁—萨克逊资本主义"争论的中心,在其所有简化形式上,这些争论却都涉及到了福利和经济效率的核心问题。     

Further development and sustainable utilization mode of grassland tourism resources: a case study of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, China

Tourism resources are important foundation for the development of tourism industry. Grassland is not only a kind of important resource but also a great attraction to visitors. Therefore, the integrated development and sustainable utilization of grassland tourism resources are of great significance. This paper, based on the analysis of literatures and the current problems existing in grassland tourism, summarizes the speciality of grassland tourism development, deals with the problem of speciality, and raises the modes of regional development, product development and management. This paper takes Inner Mongolia, the famous grassland tourism destination as example and carries out empirical research. Based on the status quo of grassland tourism resources in Inner Mongolia, this study analyzes the character- istics of grassland tourism resources, the necessity and feasibility of integrated development, then proposes the following suggestions: idea for development, mode of development, regional cooperation, tourism products development, espe- cially the three modes of development based on the resources conditions - the mode of relying on market, the mode of combination aggregation and the mode of relying on quality.     

质量管理与质量控制(十二)

识别顾客要了解顾客的需要,公司必须知道其顾客是谁。大多数雇员会认为顾客就是最终购买和使用公司产品的那些人——这些用户或消费者(consumers)无疑是一个重要的群体。识别消费者是高层管理者的任务,     

传统立体印刷材料系统的开发工艺

如果缺少对立体印刷（3DP）技术的研究经验将难以开发一种新型的应用于此领域的材料系统,因为立体印刷的灵活性要求其具有大量材料参数和工艺参数。本文详细介绍了开发立体印刷工艺的各个实施步骤,以及各个步骤中使用到的工具和注意事项。该材料系统的开发流程可以加深对立体印刷工艺的理解,帮助用户充分利用立体印刷的相对灵活性,加速新材料系统的发展。同时,本文以应用立体印刷材料系统开发高致密陶瓷牙制品为例,介绍立体印刷的灵活性。
