When the burger becomes halal: a critical discourse analysis of privilege and marketplace inclusion

Although a rich body of research provides insights to understanding stigma within the marketplace, much less is known regarding its direct corollary, privilege. We posit that this void is problematic as it may inadvertently support and legitimate existing socio-political arrangements which inhibit consumer wellbeing and marketplace equality. The present study addresses this gap by offering a theoretical understanding of privilege within the marketplace. Using a Foucauldian approach to privilege and power, we draw on the discursive perspective on legitimation to critically investigate the contentious debate over the inclusion of halal meat at a popular burger chain in France. In light of French political secularism (laïcité), we demonstrate how power discursively operates through narratives on rights and moral responsibility to constitute, defend and challenge a certain state of privilege within the marketplace. Our resulting theoretical discussion extends existing studies on marketplace equality and the growing body of literature related to the “marketization of religion”.     

地下室抗浮设计时柱下独立基础的抗冲切设计分析

独立基础加构造底板这种基础形式具有形式简单、受力明确、工程造价低等诸多优点,当地下室深度范围内存在有水位高于构造底板底面的地下水时,独立基础底板在不同情况的地下水浮力作用下,呈现出不同的受力状态。本文定性的分析了地下水位高于构造底板底面时,构造底板及独立基础的受力特性,为地下水位高度大于临界水位(h'w>hwcr)时,独立基础的抗冲切验算提供了力学分析的理论依据。     

危机事件中的危机管理与机遇

近年来，随着全球经济一体化的逐步形成，市场竞争日趋激烈，危机如同病毒一般，随时都有可能侵蚀企业的机体。因此，现代企业在经营管理中不仅要善于发现和捕捉市场的机会，同时还要处理好各种各样的危机事件。所以，企业危机事件的处理有效与否，将严重影响到企业的发展。     

充分发挥中国现代化支付系统在货币政策实施中的作用

本文通过分析支付系统在实施货币政策中的作用，中国现代化支付系统（CNAPS）支持货币政策实施的具体实现，以及1993～2006年我国货币流通速度变化情况，为CNAPS更好地支持货币政策的实施提出了一些建议。     

Precautionary Balances and the Velocity of Circulation of Money

The low velocity of circulation of money implies that households hold more money than they normally spend. This behavior is explained if households face uncertain expenditure needs, so that they have a precautionary motive for holding money. We investigate this motive in a search model where households are subject to preference shocks. The model predicts that velocity is not only low but also interest elastic. The model closely fits U.S. data on velocity and interest rates (1892–2004). The empirical analysis reveals a dramatic reduction in precautionary balances toward the end of our sample, which is important for policy issues.     

对速度瞬心的动量矩定理的教学与应用

对速度瞬心的动量矩定理是理论力学教学中的一个难点,应该突出强调速度瞬心的瞬时性。可用“瞬心角色”的概念来表述这个瞬时性,并且指出对速度瞬心的动量矩与对于平常点的动量矩不同,它是对瞬心角色的动量矩。进而据此推导出对速度瞬心的动量矩定理。     

Enhancing Business Ethics: Using Cases to Teach Moral Reasoning

The growing trend of required ethics instruction in the business school curriculum has created a need for relevant teaching materials. In response to this need the Journal of Business Ethics is introducing a new case section. This section provides a forum for publishing and accessing a range of materials that can be used in teaching business ethics. This article discusses how business ethics cases can facilitate the development of deductive, inductive and critical reasoning skills.

铅Pb~(2+)在自由流电泳芯片(μ-FFE)中运动轨迹的仿真

为了研究铅Pb2+在自由流电泳中的运动轨迹,通过COMSOL仿真软件研究μ-FFE中外加电场大小、进液流速对铅离子分离富集的影响,并找出较优的参数与方案。首先建立了矩形芯片结构仿真模型,加入模拟需要的速度、浓度、电场三个物理场。此次参数设定在考虑以往实验的基础上选择外加电压大小为110V至150V之间,进液流速在6.3*10-5m/s到7.8*10-5m/s之间。从仿真结果来看,外加电压大小为150V左右进液流速为7.3*10-5m/s即0.08ml/min时铅离子偏转比较明显。该研究对工业废水排污重金属分离提供了借鉴。     

Preparing for disaster: a comparative analysis of education for critical infrastructure collapse

This article explores policy approaches to educating populations for potential critical infrastructure collapse in five different countries: the UK, the US, Germany, Japan and New Zealand. ‘Critical infrastructure’ is not always easy to define, and indeed is defined slightly differently across countries – it includes entities vital to life, such as utilities (water, energy), transportation systems and communications, and may also include social and cultural infrastructure. The article is a mapping exercise of different approaches to critical infrastructure protection and preparedness education by the five countries. The exercise facilitates a comparison of the countries and enables us to identify distinctive characteristics of each country’s approach. We argue that contrary to what most scholars of security have argued, these national approaches diverge greatly, suggesting that they are shaped more by internal politics and culture than by global approaches.
