TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors defined the connotation of green manufacturing in China in the new era, proposed four dimensions of green production, green emission, green technology, and green benefit as the framework of the evaluation system, and constructed the evaluation index system.
Abstract: Green manufacturing is becoming an important emerging field in the new round of global industrial revolution and scientific and technological competition. Scientific evaluation of China’s regional green manufacturing level has far-reaching significance for promoting the transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry and enhancing international competitiveness. This paper defines the connotation of green manufacturing in China in the new era, proposes four dimensions of green production, green emission, green technology, and green benefit as the framework of the evaluation system, and constructs the evaluation index system. By taking 30 provincial administrative regions as research samples, based on the data from 2017 to 2020, the combination weighting method and TOPSIS are used for evaluation from the perspective of “static” and “dynamic” to identify the current situation and development of green manufacturing level in each region. It was found that the important factors affecting the green manufacturing level in each region are green products, green invention patents, sulfur dioxide, green factories, and coal consumption. The “static” evaluation results show that the green manufacturing level varies significantly among regions. The eastern area is generally better than the central and western areas, and only six regions are at high-level and medium to high-level. In addition, the four dimensions in most regions are imbalanced, with an obvious Matthew effect. The “dynamic” evaluation results show that the green manufacturing level in 30 regions appears to have six different types of dynamic trends. There is a small change in the ranking of most regions, indicating that the dynamic development of green manufacturing level has clear regional dependence, which is difficult to change in the short term. The research results show that the index system and model can effectively evaluate the regional green manufacturing level. Finally, combined with the important influencing factors, some suggestions are proposed to enhance the regional green manufacturing level.
TL;DR: The human-based ideas of Confucianism that people are the foundation of the country, the governing way of "governance with virtue", the way of personnel placement that men of great virtue and talent are elected who will cultivate mutual trust and promote universal understanding, the nationwide education thought that there should be education for everyone without distinction and the imperial examination system under the idea that those who excellently learned should serve (in the government), have exerted beneficial influences on the European modern civilization as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: Confucianism, not only is the core of Chinese cultural educational thoughts but its influence has been identified in the West by the European scholars. And with the impact of Confucianism civilization, the theological authority in the Dark Ages wavered. The human-based ideas of Confucianism that people are the foundation of the country, the governing way of “Governance with virtue”, the way of personnel placement that men of great virtue and talent are elected who will cultivate mutual trust and promote universal understanding, the nationwide education thought that there should be education for everyone without distinction and the imperial examination system under the idea that those who excellently learned should serve (in the government), have exerted beneficial influences on the European modern civilization. Looking back at the course of Confucian influence in the West and the influence on the Enlightenment and modern civilization, it is easy to find that Confucianism education is of universal value in the pluralistic cultural world, which can enhance the cultural identification and cultural consciousness of a nation, creating a heritage of excellent cultural education and enriching the connotation of the contemporary cultural education.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors dissected the beauty and the connotation of wood from the angle of philosophy and analyzed the current use of wood in the modern interior design with examples.
Abstract: Wood, which is well known as the most natural material, has been playing a very important role in the devel- opment of human society. The design concepts of promoting greens environmental protection have influenced the current society profoundly. As a culture carrier, the designing manner of using wood as the central element is very popular. The author is trying to dissect the beauty and the connotation of wood from the angle of Philosophy through this article. Then she will analyze the current use of wood in the modern interior design with examples. At last, the corresponding design principles and decoration methods will be summed up to combine with the actual situation of modern interior design. Keyword: Culture carrier, modern interior design, spiritual connotation, wood.
TL;DR: An attempt to form a conceptual framework for OR/MS methodology consists of seven components addressing specific methodological aspects: each component has specific properties which distinguish it from the others; all of them together form a consistent hierarchy suitable to aid the successful development and implementation of OR/ MS methods.
Abstract: Many authors deal, explicitly or implicitly, with OR/MS methodology and the term ‘methodology’ has gained such an inclusive connotation that it comes to denote nothing in particular This has diluted the analytical precision of OR/MS ‘methodology’ as well as its practicability Therefore an attempt to form a conceptual framework for OR/MS methodology will be presented This framework consists of seven components addressing specific methodological aspects: each component has specific properties which distinguish it from the others; all of them together form a consistent hierarchy suitable to aid the successful development and implementation of OR/MS methods
TL;DR: In the last few years the name of Macedonia has appeared quite frequently among the primary issues within the crisis in the Balkans as mentioned in this paper, and the name has gained very significant political importance.
Abstract: In the last few years the name of Macedonia has appeared quite frequently among the primary issues within the crisis in the Balkans. For years it was little known world-wide, except for its ancient heritage and Alexander the Great, but the name of this pleasant region has outgrown its geographic connotation and gained very significant political importance. Macedonia, one of the former Yugoslav republics, slipped rather easily away from the common state, but it faced other very serious problems with regard to its fundamental political (name and emblems) and economic future.
