基于IPA分析的西安江村沟垃圾填埋场 景观生态修复策略

通过对西安江村沟垃圾填埋场内及周边村民生活生产区共57处土壤进行实测与问卷调查,运用IPA分析方法,从村民景观生态感知角度出发,探讨村民对周边垃圾填埋场实际景观生态感知与期望之间的关系,以及影响村民景观生态感知的重要因素,得出景观生态满意度模型。对影响景观生态感知因素的重要性与满意度进行测量,同时生成IPA表现值与期望值,并以此为依据结合土壤实验结论,运用景观生态恢复技术,对垃圾填埋场的景观生态恢复提出了相关设计策略。     

我国房地产上市公司绩效测算与比较

为了解我国房地产企业的绩效状况,以经济增加值作为绩效的代表指标,选取沪深A股91家房地产上市公司为样本,测算其2001-2012年绩效并开展产业内外的对比分析。结果显示：（1）2001—2012年,以经济增加值衡量的样本房地产上市公司绩效均值为0．99,不同房地产上市公司之间绩效差异程度较大,低于平均绩效水平的样本公司数量较多,样本公司的绩效均值在2006年以前为负,2006年以后为正;（2）房地产上市公司的绩效均值高于建筑业上市公司但低于制造业上市公司,不同所有权结构、地域和主营业务的公司绩效均值差异较大。     

长株潭城市群风景林建设的战略路径

长株潭城市群风景林建设具有良好的发展空间,不仅是提升城市群生态品位的必然选择,也是建设＂两型社会＂的重大举措。但从总体上看,长株潭城市群的资源消耗和环境承载力等制约因素仍然是长株潭城市群风景林建设的重大瓶颈。因此,努力破解风景林建设的制约瓶颈,科学定位长株潭城市群风景林建设的总体规划和生态配置。     

江西能源消费结构与经济发展的灰色关联分析——基于低碳经济的视角

能源是人类赖以生存和发展的重要物质基础,能源消费与经济发展有着十分密切的关系。江西作为能源资源匮乏的省份,发展低碳经济是弥补劣势的重要手段。利用灰色关联分析方法具体分析了江西省能源消费结构与经济发展的关系。结果表明,江西省应改善以煤炭为主的能源消费结构,大力发展低碳经济,逐步优化产业结构和能源消费结构。     

我国C2C电子商务的地理格局及其演化机制

从空间计量经济学的角度,从省域和市域两个空间层次对中国的C2C电子商务发展极其演化机制进行实证研究。研究结果表明,中国的C2C电子商务发展存在由东部沿海到内陆地区梯度降低的空间分布趋势,空间集聚程度非常高,且对当地物流行业发展起到推动作用。C2C电子商务水平与当地的经济发达程度高度相关,社会经济观念的转变、居民受教育程度的提高、互联网相关技术的普及、物流业的迅猛发展以及适当的地方产业集聚等都是促进C2C电子商务发展的重要因素。     

长三角区域市场的地区分割——基于边界效应模型的分析

改革开放以来,我国地方市场分割问题一直比较突出,而建立全国统一开放的市场是我国经济转轨中最重要的目标之一。如何实现经济协调发展是我国当前急需解决的一个重大问题。基于此目的,本文构造了一个以边界效应模型为基础的分析框架,以长江三角洲八城市的行业部门为样本,进行实证检验。通过投入产出法计算得到行业之间的边界效应值。结果表明,在长江三角洲地区诸多的行业中市场分割与地方保护仍然比较严重。因此,长江三角洲并未实现真正的市场一体化。

Performance analysis of a focused hospital unit: The case of an integrated trauma center

The concept of focus [Skinner, W., 1974. The focused factory. Harvard Business Review 52 (3), 113–121], notably operationalized in manufacturing entities like cells and focused factories, has also been adopted by the health care industry. Examples include patient-focused care systems and product/service lines. Despite its longevity, there is a paucity of studies analyzing the focus concept and its link to performance, especially in health care. This research is aimed at enhancing our understanding of how a focus-based approach to organization redesign in health care affects processes and practices, and what operational, clinical, and financial outcomes result from such a change. The research setting is a single case site within a large medical center for which costs for trauma care used to exceed income. Using a structured framework, we document the design and operation of this physically and organizationally integrated Level I trauma care center and compare it to its preceding operation. Its pre- and post-conversion performance is analyzed using symmetric event windows covering three-year periods before and after the focused hospital unit (FHU) was established. Under a sizable increase in workload, we find no change in mortality, moderate improvement in length of stay, and a large improvement in net operating margins. Surprisingly, the latter stem not from reductions in cost but in sharply increased hospital reimbursements. Previous studies of hospital restructuring involving focused patient populations have not conclusively supported a positive link between focus and outcomes. However, this investigation of a specific FHU suggests, conceptually as well as quantitatively, that focus can be an attractive element in health care system design.     

Web content mining for comparing corporate and third‐party online reporting: a case study on solid waste management

This study investigates the coverage of solid waste management on 1142 websites maintained by companies, news media and non‐governmental organizations to validate an automated approach to content and language analysis. First, a frequency analysis of waste management terms sheds light on the breadth and depth of their environmental discourses, revealing that corporate and media attention to waste management is small compared with that of non‐governmental organizations. Second, an investigation of their attitudes toward waste management suggests that companies avoid negative information in environmental communication, unlike news media or non‐governmental organizations. Ultimately, an automated tool for ontology building is employed to gain insights into companies' shared understanding of waste management. The ontology obtained indicates that companies conceptualize waste management as a business process rather than framing it from an ecological perspective, which is in line with findings from previous research.
