Primary School Children's Understanding of Municipal Waste Processing

The basic features and goals of environmental education incorporated into curricula for primary and lower secondary education in Slovenia are discussed. In this preliminary study we have attempted to establish a hypothesis about Slovene children's understanding of concepts relating to the problem of waste. For this purpose we tested 2nd‐5th grade pupils of elementary schools in the state capital and its surroundings. In the 2nd and 3rd grades children generally define waste, at the concrete level (by enumerating types of waste; they mention paper, glass, food waste. metals and plastics); only later, in the 4th and 5th grades, are the children able to make generalisations by defining waste according to various properties and waste recyclability. The test findings show that waste processing products, e.g. compost and recycled paper, are not well known. The children tested were unable to link these two products with the source of waste generation. In spite of the fact that school children are encouraged to collect paper, the purpose of this activity is not well enough explained; likewise with compost, even though its use is widespread. Instead of having the emphasis only on the emotional component of environmental education, Slovene children should be taught about environmental problems which are part of our everyday life.     

Latecomer firms and the emergence and development of knowledge networks: The case of Petrobras in Brazil

This paper addresses the emergence and development of firm-centred knowledge networks within learning and innovation systems in late-industrialising countries. A key contribution of the paper is conceptual and methodological: the development of an original typology of knowledge network properties to trace out changes in the form of networks as they evolve over time. A second contribution consists in providing an example of the application of the typology by examining the emergence and development of a firm-centred knowledge network in the case of Petrobras, the Brazilian oil company over more than 30 years between the late 1960s and the early 2000s. This demonstrates that the properties of Petrobras’ knowledge networks continuously evolved through a succession of stages towards (i) increasing intentionality in the management decision-making underlying network development, (ii) growing complexity and diversity in selected cognitive characteristics, and (iii) greater complementarity in the division of innovative labour between Petrobras and its network partners. These original results from applying the typology, in conjunction with retrospective historical methods, illustrate only one aspect of its potential value in the analysis of knowledge networks in late-industrialising economies: tracking out organisational evolution over long periods of time. Others include the comparative examination of network differences across different circumstances and the analysis of relationships between changes/differences in network properties and other characteristics of learning/innovation systems and their contexts.

物理量中的向量与标量问题浅议

物理学中,涉及许多物理量,有的物理量既有大小又有方向,有的物理量只有大小而没有方向。高中物理教科书中,把既有大小又有方向的物理量称为向量,如:力、位移、速度等;把只有大小没有方向的物理量叫做标量,如:质量、温度、时间等。

虚拟式侧规工作原理与特点

技术进步为印刷行业带来了新的工具和生产方式,但同时也产生了大量新问题,这些问题出现在印刷工艺,尤其是印前操作的各个方面,靠一篇文章自然不能详述。本文的重点在于讨论打样稿与印刷品的匹配预测问题,涉及颜色测量、观看条件和ICC标准等。       

浅谈出版业核心竞争力的提高

随着社会主义市场经济向纵深发展,市场竞争也越来越激烈。一个企业要想在竞争中获得优势,必须培育并保持自己的核心能力。出版业也不例外,培育和创造比竞争对手强的能力即核心竞争力,将成为我国出版业的生存之本。本文试就什么是出版企业的核心竞争力及其提升途径,谈一点粗浅认识。       

图形图像类课程教学的思考与实践

图形图像类课程属于综合学科,是计算机技术与美术、广告、印刷等知识相结合的产物。如《图像处理》、《图形制作》、《三维建模与渲染》等课程,一般讲授的都是该领域中市场占有率高且功能强大的软件,如Photoshop、CorelDraw、3dmax等。由于这些软件版本不断更新,新的功能大量增加,市场对人才的要求也越来越高,所以在专业教学中必须紧密结合生产实践的需要,不断更新教学内容,同时还要更加注重培养学生良好的自学能力。       

书籍设计形态初探

书籍形态是随着时代的发展而不断变化的。具有记录和传达信息知识功能的书籍,自古以来就在中国以各种形式和形态演变着,由最早的甲骨文、钟鼎文、“石鼓文”、竹木的“简册”以及缣帛书、卷轴书直到以纸张为载体的“折叠本”、“线装书”、“盒装书”等,一直发展到如今书籍以六面体的形态为主。当今的书籍还以影像和网络的形态存在着。
