Including congestion effects in urban road traffic CO2 emissions modelling: Do Local Government Authorities have the right options?

Tailpipe emissions from vehicles on urban road networks have damaging impacts, with the problem exacerbated by the common occurrence of congestion. This article focuses on carbon dioxide because it is the largest constituent of road traffic greenhouse gas emissions. Local Government Authorities (LGAs) are typically responsible for facilitating mitigation of these emissions, and critical to this task is the ability to assess the impact of transport interventions on road traffic emissions for a whole network.This article presents a contemporary review of literature concerning road traffic data and its use by LGAs in emissions models (EMs). Emphasis on the practicalities of using data readily available to LGAs to estimate network level emissions and inform effective policy is a relatively new research area, and this article summarises achievements so far. Results of the literature review indicate that readily available data are aggregated at traffic level rather than disaggregated at individual vehicle level. Hence, a hypothesis is put forward that optimal EM complexity is one using traffic variables as inputs, allowing LGAs to capture the influence of congestion whilst avoiding the complexity of detailed EMs that estimate emissions at vehicle level.Existing methodologies for estimating network emissions based on traffic variables typically have limitations. Conclusions are that LGAs do not necessarily have the right options, and that more research in this domain is required, both to quantify accuracy and to further develop EMs that explicitly include congestion, whilst remaining within LGA resource constraints.

地铁车站建筑设计的不足与创新

分析了当今地铁车站建筑设计中存在的问题及原因,并以此提出了地铁车站建筑设计创新的问题。提出了只有研究地铁车站使用者即“人”的行为与心理,并分别落实在功能与环境空间(艺术)设计上,地铁车站建筑设计才能够做到创新的观点。简要地分析了人的行为与车站功能设计的关系和人的心理与车站环境空间设计的联系,初步探讨了如何创新的问题。     

治国方略与人性假设

中西不同的人性论预设,导致了不同的治国方略和制度路径.人性善或经验主义人性恶假设是人治和专制治理的理论基础;理性主义人性恶假设是法治的理论基础.人性善强调了道德自律的可能性,但缺乏预警机制,理性主义人性恶的不足在于过分强调人性中的阴暗,忽略了人的主动性.人性善或经验主义人性恶假设是人治和专制治理的理论基础;理性主义人性恶假设是法治的理论基础.人性善强调了道德自律的可能性,但缺乏预警机制,理性主义人性恶的不足在于过分强调人性中的阴暗,忽略了人的主动性.理想的治理结构应该是德治与法治的统一,其理论基础是理性与非理性,善与恶相统一的人性论假设.理想的治理结构应该是德治与法治的统一,其理论基础是理性与非理性,善与恶相统一的人性论假设.     

船检履约与应对IMO强制审核要点与措施研究

为促进全球海上安全和防污染相关国际公约的有效执行,国际海事组织于2009年批准了"IMO成员国自愿审核机制"强制化,我国将于2021年接受IMO的强制审核。船检占强制审核政府义务条款大部分内容,其被视为IMO进行强制审核的重点领域。因此,本文拟针对IMO履约规则及相关国际公约中有关船检的管理要求,对我国海事船检履约情况进行评估,分析我国船检海事立法与管理方面存在的问题,提出我国针对船检履约与应对IMO强制审核的要点及改进措施,以满足2021年IMO强制审核的要求。     

论高校思想政治教育的创新途径

随着我国经济模式的转变,以及以信息化、网络化为重要特征的全球化步伐的加快,高校师生由于所面临的情况、问题更为复杂多变,高校思想政治教育作为社会稳定和健全人格培养的方式,更显重要.但这种新的形势也也给思想政治教育提出了更高的要求,思想政治教育必须探索新的途径,从主导思想、教育内容和教育方式方法上拓宽思路,与时俱进.     

我国装备制造业技术创新体系中企业主体作用激活问题研究

此文主要论述了我国装备制造业技术创新系统中企业主体的能动性问题.首先梳理了我国装备制造业技术创新发展的现状及问题,在此背景下,提出提高装备制造业技术创新系统中企业主体的能动性对我国装备制造业进一步发展起到重要作用,并进一步对我国装备制造业企业技术创新的能动性进行界定和具体分析.根据创新的概念,在综合之前文献的基础上,提出我国装备制造业企业的能动性大体可以分解为能力方面和动力方面,在能力方面,指出外部要素的利用能力、内部要素的管理能力和内外部要素的整合能力构成了企业技术创新能力的三个重要部分;在动力方面,尽管文献中主要涉及市场力、科技力和政策力为企业技术进步的重要动力要素,此文所提出的能动性更强调企业所内生的自觉性和主动性,而非外在的拉动力,这是因为企业内部的动力才是技术创新能动性的不竭来源.此文最后针对我国装备制造业企业主体技术创新的能力和动力方面,提出了提高其能动性的一些初步建议.     

Exploring active transportation investments and associated benefits for municipal budgets: a scoping review

Municipalities play an important role in the planning and development of communities that support active transportation (AT), which refers to human-powered modes of travel, such as walking and cycling. Municipal-level stakeholders involved in land-use and transportation infrastructure planning consider multiple social, environmental and economic considerations to inform decision-making and investments in AT. Evidence around the fiscal benefits of AT investment for local governments has not been systematically identified. This scoping review sought to explore the existing evidence regarding investments in AT and opportunities for savings on municipal expenditures and revenue generation. In total, 7060 records were located and screened; of which 162 full-text articles were reviewed. Ultimately, 23 articles met our inclusion criteria and were included in this review. The available evidence focuses on potential economic benefits of AT in the areas of tax revenues, property values, consumer spending and employment, all of which are relevant sources of revenue generation in municipal operating budgets. An evidence gap was identified regarding AT infrastructure investments and benefits corresponding to municipal expenditures (e.g. maintenance cost savings). Notably, a large portion of literature was published after 2009, suggesting that municipal-level evidence on the fiscal benefits of AT investments may just be emerging.
