Mario Bunge (1919–2020): Physicist,philosopher, champion of science,and citizen of the world

Mario Bunge, the centenarian Argentine/Canadian physicist/philosopher passed away in the loving company of his wife Marta and children Eric and Silvia on February 24, 2020 in Montréal, Ontario. This memoriam reviews his life and work, particularly his contributions to physics and philosophy of science.     

Cloud-based big data analytics for customer insight-driven design innovation in SMEs

Fast development of IT and ICT facilitate customers to post a large volume of their concerns and expectation online, which are widely accepted to be a valuable resource for product designers. However, it is found that only a small number of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have capabilities to leverage customer online insights for design innovation, which often demonstrate a significant share in national economies growth. To discover the beneath reasons regarding the barrier that prevent them to make effective utilization, in this study, as a concrete example, manufacturing SMEs in the South Wales and Greater Manchester industrial areas of the UK are focused and their potential motivations for using and knowledge of big data-based customer analytics are investigated. An exploratory survey was conducted in terms of the type of customer data they have, the storage approaches, the volume of customer data, etc. Next, a carefully devised exploratory study was undertaken to understand how SMEs perceive the relations between customer data and product design, how about their expectations from big customer data analytics and what really challenges SMEs to exploit the value of big customer data. Besides, a demonstration platform is developed to present SMEs an automatic process of analysing customer online reviews and the capacity on customer insights acquisition and strategic decision making. Finally, findings from two focus groups indicate the different managerial and technical considerations required for SMEs considering implementing big data and customer analytics. This study encourages SMEs to welcome big customer data and suggests that a cloud-based approach may be the most appropriate way of giving access to big data analytics techniques.     

The serendipitous impact of COVID-19 pandemic: A rare opportunity for research and practice

In this opinion paper, I argue that the Covid-19 pandemic, as tragic and disastrous as it undoubtedly is, has also given us a rare opportunity to deeply examine the research and practice of information management in particular and information systems in general. To cope with the pandemic, we have retreated to the digital world and drastically changed the way we work. Yet these very practices can well shape the way we work in the post-pandemic world. Moreover, the pandemic is also a sharp lens through which we can study deep-rooted theoretical issues that otherwise would not have surfaced, or at least remained in the background. My call to the research community is to seize this rare opportunity.

基于FPGA的DDS实现的几种方式

直接数字频率合成器(DDS)采用的是一种新的频率合成技术,它具有频率分辨率高、频率转换快、相位噪声小等一系列优点。本文根据DDS的基本原理,提出了基于FPGA的DDS设计与实现。利用Quartus II、MATLAB/Simulink、DSP Builder等功能强大的开发工具,分别从不同的角度给出了几种基于FPGA的DDS的实现方式。最后,就这几种实现DDS的方式,对其优缺点进行讨论。     

高校信息素质教育课程设计思路

以建构主义理论、建构主义课程观为本课程设计的理论依据,而Cottam线型模型、建构主义理论模型则为本设计奠定了科学基础,在课程设计中注重将动态的信息寻求过程综合到以教育对象为中心教学中去,并力求课程设计要素的完整性,强调各要素之间的协同作用.     

“过程哲学”：我国传统文化与现代体育教育理念的契合

摘要：过去,我国学校体育教育评价方式是“重结果,轻过程”,不符合现代教育理念,也不利于学校体育的可持续发展。本研究以高校体育教学评价方式的改革为出发点,力图从我国传统文化和现代体育思想“过程哲学”中寻找理论依据。运用文献资料法,从过程哲学的视角,对我国传统文化与现代体育教育理念的契合进行研究。经过查阅文献发现：早在2000多年前,我国的先哲们就完整地提出了“过程哲学”,并运用到了体育领域,现代体育教育的理念也特别强调体育教育是一个“过程历练”。传统与现代契合的“过程哲学”,为我们转变学校体育的教育理念、评价方式和追求目标,提供了哲学依据。本研究得出结论：体育是运动不息的过程哲学,是完善身心的过程历练,是追求更高智慧的过程文化。为此,现代学校体育应确立过程性评价理念,注重学生身心文化的培育,重视学生终身体育习惯的培养。     

以工作室为依托适应艺术设计实践教学新常态

艺术设计应用性对设计学生实践能力提出要求。目前,为了应对艺术设计学生实践能力弱的困境,高校依托工作室进行教学,适时调整以适应专业特色需求。一方面,完善艺术设计工作室平台形式与条件,另一方面,从实践教学形式和内容方面寻找适合工作室教学实施要点,证明以工作室为依托的教学活动能有效提升设计水平和实践能力,并进一步延伸探讨艺术设计教学应具有的新常态。
