Commenting in the Online Arab Public Sphere: Debating the Swiss Minaret Ban and the “Ground Zero Mosque” Online

This article focuses on the emerging online Arab public sphere that the web has enabled. It explores how the “local” interacts with the “global,” critically examining their implications on global politics. Specifically looking at online readers' comments about the Swiss minaret ban the so‐called “Ground Zero Mosque,” how does the Arab online public sphere respond to and frame these issues? What implications do these reader frames portend locally and globally? The study analyzes online comments and responses that readers of Al Arabiya.net and Al Jazeera.net posted on related news articles. The article concludes that the new online public sphere does make it possible for Arab citizens to circumvent and challenge traditional authoritarian controls.     

中国沿海城市全球化与地方化博弈逻辑与研究架构

中国沿海城市深受全球化与地方化双重影响,城市演化动力发生了巨变。学界有关全球化或地方化视域城市、产业、企业发展研究表明:(1)全球/地方化视域城市发展研究视角趋向于微观化,研究切入主线是城市体系、产业与企业,研究存在全球化转向地方化视角,区域经济宏观分析转向城市个体产业微观剖析,单一经济关系转向多重属性。(2)形成了全球化进程城市体系-产业生产网络-跨国公司网络驱动中国沿海城市竞争格局与演化机制,以及地方化抗争全球化所催化的城镇密集区成长-产业集群根植性-中小企业网络发展机制。(3)重视以全球-地方化视角研究跨国公司的组织、行为与网络,尤其关注全球化跨国企业、地方化企业与产业集群的角色与效用发挥机制;全球化视角认为嵌入世界生产网络重构城市体系,推动城市趋向新形态是全球化主线;地方化视角认为构建区域城市集合体、产业集群、中小企业根植区域发展,可通过区域管理多样化提升地方的国际竞争力与生产网络话语权,进而谋取世界城市体系中更高能级。(4)城市全球化与地方化发展具有不同的研究路径,两者在"自由市场化"以及"市场+政府主导"原则下选取不同博弈行动策略,导致了两者之间存在互为博弈过程,博弈模式呈现动态博弈,帕累托上策均衡策略选取遵循市场经济主导、行政管理辅助、微观要素依赖原则。     

企业认证和企业管理国际化

企业管理的国际化要求企业的管理与国际管理相接轨，做到科学有效，提高产品的竞争力。企业认证则为企业提供了国际先进的管理模式，二者结合，使企业在管理中不断发展和完善。     

略论“公民意识”、“公民教育”和外语教师的“全球意识”

简要综述了国内外＂公民意识＂和＂公民教育＂的研究现状,认为在全球化背景下,国家＂公民意识＂的培养,也应包括世界公民意识的培养。外语教育是培养学生成为合格的世界公民的一个重要途径;外语教师肩负着培养＂全球公民意识公民＂的特殊使命,理应加强自身的＂公民意识＂培养,努力掌握全球化知识,提升全球化素质。

A cubic regularization algorithm for unconstrained optimization using line search and nonmonotone techniques

In recent years, cubic regularization algorithms for unconstrained optimization have been defined as alternatives to trust-region and line search schemes. These regularization techniques are based on the strategy of computing an (approximate) global minimizer of a cubic overestimator of the objective function. In this work we focus on the adaptive regularization algorithm using cubics (ARC) proposed in Cartis et al. [Adaptive cubic regularisation methods for unconstrained optimization. Part I: motivation, convergence and numerical results, Mathematical Programming A 127 (2011), pp. 245–295]. Our purpose is to design a modified version of ARC in order to improve the computational efficiency preserving global convergence properties. The basic idea is to suitably combine a Goldstein-type line search and a nonmonotone accepting criterion with the aim of advantageously exploiting the possible good descent properties of the trial step computed as (approximate) minimizer of the cubic model. Global convergence properties of the proposed nonmonotone ARC algorithm are proved. Numerical experiments are performed and the obtained results clearly show satisfactory performance of the new algorithm when compared to the basic ARC algorithm.     

The Construction of the Multilingual Internet: Unicode,Hebrew, and Globalization

This paper examines the technologies that enable the representation of Hebrew on websites. Hebrew is written from right to left and in non‐Latin characters, issues shared by a number of languages which seem to be converging on a shared solution—Unicode. Regarding the case of Hebrew, I show how competing solutions have given way to one dominant technology. I link processes in the Israeli context with broader questions about the ‘multilingual Internet,’ asking whether the commonly accepted solution for representing non‐Latin texts on computer screens is an instance of cultural imperialism and convergence around a western artifact. It is argued that while minority languages are given an online voice by Unicode, the context is still one of western power.     

玻璃在家居产品设计中的功能性研究

随着人们的审美观和生活方式在不断的改变,玻璃在现代家居产品中应用越来越广泛,在现代家居产品设计中,除了要满足产品本身的基本功能外,还要结合玻璃本身的特质对产品进行功能化设计,深入了解玻璃材料的特性才能在产品中发挥它的优势,达到产品与材料之间相互关系的和谐。当然,设计的本质是服务于人,人是设计的主体,最终要达到人与产品之间相互关系的和谐,而功能是这两者之间相互沟通的渠道。
