Coffeehouses And The Art Of Social Engagement: An Analysis Of Portland Coffeehouses

Coffeehouses have been a part of America's cultural landscape since the seventeenth century. Their fortunes have risen and fallen with the changing demand for coffee and consumer preferences. This paper examines their historic function of promoting social engagement as so‐called third places among independently owned coffeehouses in the city of Portland, Oregon. Individual coffeehouses were evaluated to determine the extent to which they provided a supportive physical environment for social engagement in which a space is transformed into a place and detailed patron behavior was recorded over a three‐week period. Few coffeehouses provided a supportive physical environment. The majority of coffeehouse patrons during the weekday and weekend ordered drinks ‘to go.’ Among those who stayed during the weekday most sat alone and worked. Coffeehouse are spaces to ‘be alone together.’ It was only on lunchtime weekends that coffeehouses were full of the sound of conversations. Further study should consider the effect of eliminating free Wi Fi and banning laptops on social engagement and whether other place attributes need to be incorporated to promote social engagement.     

核地勘安全生产管理体系构建与提升的思考

核地勘行业安全环保形势的特殊性和严峻性,要求亟需构建一种适合于核地勘单位的安全生产管理体系。该体系应以突出核地勘行业的“核”字特点,以放射源的安全管理、辐射防护和环境保护为重点,利用现代科技手段提升野外无依托作业安全保障系数和隐患闭环管理水平,以弘扬单位安全文化理念为突破口,完善具有核地勘特色的安全文化体系,使核地勘安全生产管理从传统的经验管理迈向现代的科学管理。运用科学的管理方式,掌控生产过程中的安全风险,使之控制在可接受的范围,为单位的可持续发展保驾护航。

Geopolitics and family in Palestine

This paper questions geographers’ ability to think about power and violence through different epistemological registers, specifically by examining the discursive production of Palestine as place in geopolitical studies. Although the banner of geopolitics groups together a variety of approaches, these studies more or less cohere around a very particular type of imaginative geography of place - as violent and political. Recent arguments for cosmopolitan approaches to place - particularly when encountering non-Euro/American sites - are used to argue for more diverse approaches to places such as Palestine within Anglophone geographical scholarship. Using research on Palestinian family spaces and spacings, an alternative approach is outlined that exposes some geographies of dealing with and getting by the Israeli Occupation that are largely ignored by geopolitical approaches. These tropes prompt a return, in the conclusion, to the question of how geographers analytically apprehend power and violence, and the possibilities for doing this at the limits of, and beyond, the framework of geopolitical analysis.

基于地理国情普查对开发冰雪丝绸之路旅游带的思考

黑龙江省第一次地理国情普查已全面展开,其目的是全面掌握黑龙江地理国情现状,系统掌握全省自然、人文地理要素的现状和空间分布情况。黑龙江省是资源大省,除煤、木、粮、油、机外,旅游资源也十分丰富。作为连接中原与黑龙江地区的水陆大通道,黑龙江冰雪丝绸之路比西北丝绸之路早了1000多年,且一直繁荣了几千年,存有大量的历史遗迹,但近百年来却鲜为人知。充分利用基于现代测绘地理信息技术获得的地理国情数据和信息,恢复和开辟黑龙江冰雪丝绸之路旅游带,对弘扬黑龙江历史文化,宣传黑龙江意义重大,功在当代,利在后世。     

The Place Names of the Middle East Before and After Ptolemaic Cartography: An Emblematic Selection from Ancient Maps

The cultural gap between Europe and Asia (at first political and then religious) saw an increase with the spread of Islam, which, to the European imagination, was synonymous with ‘foreign’. This separation grew after the discovery of America (1492) with the loss of the central commercial position of the Mediterranean reducing the level of contact between the countries of its basin. Traces of these changes can be recognized on historic Western maps in the transformation of their toponyms (place names). Through a comparative cartographic analysis, this paper examines some of the key changes and phases that occurred during the era.     

中国经济效率的省域空间格局及其提升研究

文章选取资本存量、劳动力、土地、外商投资、邮政电信业务量作为投入变量,选取地区生产总值作为产出变量,分析了2009年中国经济效率的静态空间格局。发现纯技术效率要好于技术效率。在规模报酬不变状态下的技术效率（TEcrs）方面,DEA 有效的省份只有16个;在规模报酬变动状态下的纯技术效率（TEvrs）方面,DEA 有效的省份有18个;从规模效率（SE）上看,DEA 有效的省份也是18个。从中国内陆31个省份的平均技术效率、平均规模效率和规模报酬的情况上看,全国层面和不同空间尺度的区域层面存在差异。文章对各个省份资本、劳动力、土地、外商投资、信息化等存在投入冗余及产出不足的情形进行了分析,研究结果可以为各省政府部门提供参考。
