University and Business Relations: Connecting the Knowledge Economy

It is commonplace to say that the modern economy is knowledge based but a moment’s reflection points to the vacuity of this notion. For all economies are knowledge based and could not be otherwise. The question is rather how is one kind of knowledge based economy to be distinguished from another? This essay proposes that the answer may lie in three directions: (1) in terms of the variety of knowledge that is engaged; (2) in terms of the processes by which the production of knowledge is organised, and its corollary the resources devoted to knowledge production and dissemination; and, (3) in terms of the purposes to which knowledge is put. In respect of each of these dimensions, the rise of the modern university as a custodian of knowledge in Western economy and society has been of central importance; but universities are not alone in this role, a wide range of other agencies, private firms, public research laboratories for instance play an important role in defining a knowledge economy and have done so increasingly since the turn of the nineteenth century—a first indication of the systemic dimensions of a modern knowledge economy.     

Is Inequality Among Universities Increasing? Gini Coefficients and the Elusive Rise of Elite Universities

One of the unintended consequences of the New Public Management (NPM) in universities is often feared to be a division between elite institutions focused on research and large institutions with teaching missions. However, institutional isomorphisms provide counter-incentives. For example, university rankings focus on certain output parameters such as publications, but not on others (e.g., patents). In this study, we apply Gini coefficients to university rankings in order to assess whether universities are becoming more unequal, at the level of both the world and individual nations. Our results do not support the thesis that universities are becoming more unequal. If anything, we predominantly find homogenisation, both at the level of the global comparisons and nationally. In a more restricted dataset (using only publications in the natural and life sciences), we find increasing inequality for those countries, which used NPM during the 1990s, but not during the 2000s. Our findings suggest that increased output steering from the policy side leads to a global conformation to performance standards.     

Why culture attracts and resists economic analysis

The realm of arts and culture can be seen as ephemeral and ill-suited to the ‘intrusion’ of quantitative analysis. Yet, demand amongst end-users for economic research into cultural and creative industries is stronger today than ever it has been in the past. Oddly, culture seems to both attract and resist economic analysis. Drawing on an analysis of recent research findings related to multi-platform strategies in the television industry, this article examines what is distinctive about economics of culture, and it assesses the appeals but also the challenges associated with conducting scholarly research work in this particular area.     

大学生体质量指数（BMI)对血压水平的影响简

目的：探讨大学生人群血压水平与体质量指数（BMI）的相关性.方法：收集广州市6所高校大二学生共6225例的个人资料,对其体重、身高、体质量（BMI）、收缩压（SBP）、舒张压（DBP）进行统计学分析,同时对超重肥胖学生采用运动干预措施.结果：肥胖组SBP与DBP分别为（134.2±15.32）mmHg （88.54±9.21） mmHg,超重组SBP与DBP分别为（121.6±12.54） mmHg、（81.63±8.45）mmHg,体质量正常组SBP与DBP分别为（114.6±11.28） mmHg、（72.31±8.11） mmHg,低体质量组SBP与DBP分别为（102.3±10.35） mmHg、（67.21±8.22） mmHg,两两比较具有统计意义差异（P＜0.05）.对体重肥胖组学生进行有氧运动干预后发现,肥胖组学生BMI、SBP、DBP显著低于干预前,差异有统计学意义（P＜0.05）.经单因素分析可知,BMI与SBP、DBP呈正相关,与性别、年龄、入学时间无相关性.结论：大学生血压随着BMI的升高而升高,体检过程中可将BMI偏高作为预测肥胖大学生高血压的指标之一;通过对肥胖学生进行有氧运动干预可有效控制学生的血压水平.     

全球化背景下重构中国武术文化的研究

中国武术,是中华民族长期发展形成的一种文化形式,它折射着中国传统文化的基本精神。然而,在全球化的驱使下,传统的武术也发生了一个时代的变化,尤其是在当代竞技武术的影响下,传统武术的技术、拳理被异化。我们将中华武术的发展命脉放在国家文化安全的视野下加以讨论,分析其如何在扬弃的基础上更新,与历史绵延的文化命脉保持一致,这有助于我们在新的历史条件下,探讨当代中华武术的文化迷失,以及如何来重构中国武术文化。
