Methodological problems of intercultural comparisons of retail environments     

Jonathan Reynolds 《GeoJournal》1998,45(4):245-254

The internationalising activities of retailers have tended to precede the theoretical contributions of academics. This is particularly the case for the cultural context within which retail internationalisation takes place. Following an examination of the growth of international retailing activity, the article reviews generic difficulties in studying inter-cultural differences before considering the specific steps which retail practitioners have taken to understand the comparative characteristics of retail and consumer markets through the growth of geodemographic and lifestyle analysis. Finally, we relate one of the most significant integrative intercultural theoretical instruments to the case of retail internationalisation within Western Europe. We find that significant insights into retailer behaviour and strategy can be gained from an understanding of the culturally-specific characteristics of the activity.

A rural development strategy for the Apuseni Mountains, Romania     

Ioan Abrudan  David Turnock 《GeoJournal》1998,46(3):319-336

The Apuseni Mountains, part of the Western Carpathians, are distinctive in cultural terms because of the highly dispersed settlement patterns that have developed on the high erosion surfaces where the Moti people cleared the forests to allow for an expansion of family farming in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. These small ‘crang’ settlements remain, but the population is declining in the face of limited employment opportunities and poor services. The question arises as to the most appropriate rural development strategy for the region, following the communist period which encouraged centralisation through the provision of housing and industry in key villages and new towns. The emphasis on private farming and the expansion of tourism could protect the inherited cultural landscape but money must be found to improve rural services. There is also a strong conservation movement which supports the establishment of a national park, but this could constrain development through controls on grazing and woodcutting. Hence the dialogue continues to find the best compromise and the concept of a ‘natural park’ is being discussed with such a reconciliation in mind.

东北地区5 000 aB.P.～4 700 aB.P.左右的降温事件及对考古文化的影响   总被引：2，自引：0，他引：2  

李永化  尹怀宁  张小咏  赵军 《云南地理环境研究》2003,15(1):12-18

距今5000年左右世界各地普遍存在一次幅度较大的短期降温气候事件，通过对金川剖面泥炭地层14C测年，孢粉分析，认为东北地区此次降温事件结束的14C年龄在4700aB.P.左右，降温事件出现之前气候温暖湿润，降温事件过后温度持续下降，金川剖面的记录与东北地区其它类型沉积物所记录的降温事件出现的时间基本吻合，降温事件对燕辽地区古文化演变产生了深刻的影响。  相似文献   

不同培养方式及换水频率对坛紫菜(Porphyra haitanensis)自由丝状体生长及藻胆蛋白含量的影响     

丁兰平  颜泽伟  张全亮  徐佩杭  黄冰心 《海洋学报》2015,37(6):114-119

本实验以坛紫菜自由丝状体为材料,研究不同培养方式(静置、摇床、通气)和换水频率(5d、7d、10d、20d)对丝状体生长及藻胆蛋白(PE、PC)含量变化的影响。研究结果表明:坛紫菜自由丝状体在摇床培养条件下生长较好,特定生长速率可达10.832 7%~10.891 5%;摇床培养下的丝状体PE含量相对静置培养的较高一些,通气培养的相对较低,最高为36.816 8mg/g;静置条件下培养的丝状体PC含量最高,摇床培养次之,通气培养最低,最低为1.082 4mg/g。相同培养方式下,换水频率对丝状体特定生长速率影响不大;除通气培养外,换水频率20d其PE、PC含量较高。方差分析结果表明:实验范围内的培养方式及换水频率对丝状体特定生长速率大小、PE和PC含量不存在交互作用。本文实验结果对坛紫菜自由丝状体产业化应用于食品加工、色素提取等产业提供了实验理论和依据。  相似文献   

江苏溧阳软玉与良渚文化庄桥坟遗址出土软玉的特征对比研究     

李晶  高洁  童欣然  皮白灵  杨明星 《地质科学译丛》2010,(3):19-25,33

采用常规宝玉石鉴定方法、偏光显微镜和激光剥蚀电感耦合等离子体质谱仪对江苏省溧阳县小梅岭玉矿的软玉样品进行了测试研究,并与良渚文化庄桥坟遗址出土的软玉类玉器样品进行了对比。结果表明,溧阳软玉样品和庄桥坟遗址出土软玉类玉器样品的主要矿物组成为透闪石,但后者的w（FeOT）明显高于前者的。庄桥坟遗址出土玉器样品的δEu普遍高于溧阳软玉样品的,大部分为负异常,为轻稀土亏损型,微量元素种类多;溧阳软玉样品的δEu为负异常,为轻稀土富集型,微量元素种类少,说明两种样品应不属于同一产地或同一成因性质。良渚文化庄桥坟遗址出土玉器样品的化学成分与溧阳软玉样品的不同,这与当今考古界普遍认为良渚文化玉器来源于溧阳软玉的观点有所不同。  相似文献

中国人几千年来对翡翠有着特殊爱好,其融人了自古以来的玉石文化,它对中华民族的精神、意志、道德、哲理产生着巨大的影响。翡翠的探释是一门高雅的艺术,不但要从文化的层面来认识翡翠,而且还要多了解一些翡翠的专业知识和翡翠市场的发展现状。本文详细地介绍了目前国内几大翡翠市场和各市场的特点以及中国翡翠市场的发展史。  相似文献   

Intermediate school's trip to India: Preparing for competence     

Robyn Andrews 《New Zealand geographer》2014,70(3):201-209

In November 2010, students from a Palmerston North intermediate school embarked on a 2‐week excursion to India. Qualitative research was carried out before, during and after the trip. Results discussed in this article focus primarily on the students' account of their trip, especially their perceived cultural competence and their explanation for it. Accounts of their competence are also offered by the parents and teachers, for example, they especially valued the students' extensive school‐based preparation. Insights gained from the experiences of this trip may be applied to other, including older, cohorts of students embarking on overseas school field trips.  相似文献   

不同生长环境褐牙鲆的外观性状与肌肉营养成分的比较分析     

赵侠  关长涛  董登攀  崔勇  李娇  高天翔 《中国海洋大学学报(自然科学版)》2014,44(8):41-47

讨论了网箱养殖、工厂化养殖和野生褐牙鲆的外观差异,对比分析了不同生长环境下褐牙鲆的肌肉营养成分和营养学价值。结果显示:网箱养殖的褐牙鲆体形、体色更接近野生褐牙鲆,即有眼侧呈深褐色,无眼侧呈白色;工厂化养殖褐牙鲆有眼侧体色较暗,无眼侧有黑斑。网箱养殖褐牙鲆脂肪含量(2.5%)远低于工厂化养殖的褐牙鲆(4.2%),而接近于野生的褐牙鲆(1.4%);网箱养殖褐牙鲆水分含量比工厂化养殖的高,也更接近野生的褐牙鲆。3种生长环境的褐牙鲆,氨基酸组成是一致的,而且各项比值也都符合FAO/WHO的标准。对比分析必需氨基酸指数(EAAI)和EPA+DPA、SFA、MUFA、PUFA等指标,网箱养殖褐牙鲆均要高于工厂化养殖褐牙鲆,接近而又优于野生的褐牙鲆。在矿物质含量方面,3种生长环境下的褐牙鲆差异不明显。综合各项指标分析,在褐牙鲆的3种生长环境中,网箱养殖的褐牙鲆要优于工厂化养殖的褐牙鲆,而更接近于野生的褐牙鲆。  相似文献   

养殖方式、光照强度对哲罗鱼稚鱼生长与存活的影响   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1  

郭文学  尹家胜  佟广香  张永泉  白庆利 《海洋与湖沼》2014,45(2):264-273

采用生态学方法,研究了养殖方式、光照强度对哲罗鱼稚鱼生长与存活的影响。结果表明:在养殖方式实验中,哲罗鱼稚鱼体长、体质量均以室内静水组为最高,室内流水组其次,室外流水组最低。存活率以室内流水组为最高,室外流水组次之,室内静水组最低。统计分析表明养殖方式对哲罗鱼稚鱼终末体长、体质量、特定生长率、体长生长参数以及体长、体质量变异系数的影响均达到极显著水平(P0.01)。在光照实验中,哲罗鱼稚鱼的存活率、体长、体质量及特定生长率、体长生长参数均随光照强度的增加而增加,说明在哲罗鱼稚鱼室内培育阶段,适当地增加部分光照有利于其存活、摄食与生长。本研究结果为哲罗鱼高效养殖提供了科学依据。  相似文献
