Participatory Sustainability Impact Assessment: Scientific Policy Advice as a Social Learning Process

This paper deals with the development of scientific policy advice by providing a methodology to foster a social learning process. The methodology, called participatory Sustainability Impact Assessment (pSIA), aims to structure complex problem situations, to clarify interests and basic assumptions, to interpret scientific studies, to develop impact assessment, and to explore sensitivity of uncertainty and lack of information. In pSIA workshops the participants are supposed to build conceptual models with different modelling methods, like System Dynamics, Value Chain Analysis, and Morphological Analysis. A case study is presented that describes a workshop series with political as well as academic actors, applying the pSIA approach to an impact assessment of Economic Partnership Agreements between the European Union and the Eastern and Southern Africa Region.

SimCLIC: A Simple Framework for Contrastive Learning of Image Classification

Contrastive learning, a self-supervised learning method, is widely used in image representation learning. The core idea is to close the distance between positive sample pairs and increase the distance between negative sample pairs in the representation space. Siamese networks are the most common structure among various current contrastive learning models. However, contrastive learning using positive and negative sample pairs on large datasets is computationally expensive. In addition,there are c...     

An Integrated Research Framework for Effect of EWOM

With the development of the electronic commerce, the electronic word-of-mouth(e WOM)has become important reference information for consumer shopping. EWOM has attracted considerable interest from researchers in the past decade. In this paper, a research review is conducted and an integrated framework is proposed on the effect of e WOM. The effect of e WOM are influenced by its characteristics, communicators, and other factors. The characteristics of e WOM include the source,the volume and the valence. The communicators of e WOM refer to the sender, the receiver and the relationship between them. In addition, dispersion and consistency, persistence and observability,anonymity and deception, and community engagement are related factors for the effect of e WOM.

销售商多产品联合订货研究

分析了一个多产品联合订货库存模型的绩效.该模型采用连续检查的QS库存策略.文中假设当出现缺货时,不能被立即满足的顾客将会流失,这是与以往研究的最大区别,也是本文的主要贡献.作者假设遇到缺货的顾客流失,对提前期内的在途订单作出一定假设,着重分析了在联合订单中,各种产品订货量的分布情况.随后将多产品联合订货问题分解成多个单产品的库存模型进行分析,给出了销售商总成本的解析表达式.最后,作者提出了进一步研究的方向.     

Intersections of Critical Systems Thinking and Community Based Participatory Research: A Learning Organization Example with the Autistic Community

Critical systems thinking (CST) and community based participatory research (CBPR) are distinct approaches to inquiry which share a primary commitment to holism and human emancipation, as well as common grounding in critical theory and emancipatory and pragmatic philosophy. This paper explores their intersections and complements on a historical, philosophical, and theoretical level, and then proposes a hybrid approach achieved by applying CBPR’s principles and considerations for operationalizing emancipatory practice to traditional systems thinking frameworks and practices. This hybrid approach is illustrated in practice with examples drawn from of the implementation of the learning organization model in an action research setting with the Autistic community. Our experience of being able to actively attend to, and continuously equalize, power relations within an organizational framework that otherwise has great potential for reinforcing power inequity suggests CBPR’s principles and considerations for operationalizing emancipatory practice could be useful in CST settings, and CST’s vocabulary, methods, and clarity around systems thinking concepts could be valuable to CBPR practitioners.     

An Interpretive-Systemic Framework for the Study of Community Organizations

This paper presents a conceptual framework for the systemic study of community organizations (COs) in contemporary societies. This framework is made up of two ideal-type models of COs. These models are structured around the notions of rights, social interaction, and the State. The first ideal-type model is based on a liberal conception of society, and the second model is grounded on communicative ethics as developed by Habermas for contemporary deliberative democracy. The relevance and limitations of such interpretive framework are discussed when a brief exploration on the social meaning of COs in Venezuela unveils grounds for further questioning about the role of COs in contemporary society.     

社会学习和参照点效应对企业产品决策的影响

消费者从用户评价中获得更准确的产品质量水平被称为社会学习行为。当学习得到的产品质量高于自己的心理预期,多数消费者会更倾向购买产品,即参照点效应。为了研究社会学习行为中的参照点效应对企业产品决策的影响,构建研究问题的多智能体模型,通过仿真实现问题求解。结果表明,参照点效应对企业产生负面影响,企业被迫提高产品质量和价格,并获得更少的利润。然而,如果考量产品的销售量,企业能够通过相对较低的产品质量和价格,以少量的利润损失获得销售量的大幅增加。     

Enriching Service Learning by its Diversity: Combining University Service Learning and Corporate Social Responsibility to Help the NGOs Adapt Technology to Their Needs

Community-based service learning helps students link subject matter to everyday life and developing sense of responsibility to their community. Corporate social responsibility (CSR) is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a business model. Both promote civic engagement but the two hardly come across each other. We explore the process that enriched service learning with its diversity by combining CSR practices of a multinational software company. It begins by exploring different forms of action research with a focus on action engagement to improve students’ involvement in marginalized communities. The article provides field-based reflections of the sustained engagement and suggests ways in which service learning experiences may create rooms for innovation and growth in the non-profit sector, local communities, businesses, and students themselves.

Systemic Evaluation Methodology: The Emergence of Social Learning From Environmental ICT Prototypes

This paper investigates why and how systems approaches can help in evaluating the design of new Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) as social learning platforms. It focuses on the prototypes created by the research project Virtualis, whose objective is to promote social learning on environmental concepts and practices amongst a variety of stakeholders. The paper presents the principles of systems thinking and practice that did help in formulating such evaluation processes. It illustrates how both a peer systemic evaluation process (within the research team) and a participatory evaluation process (involving potential future users of the ICTs) were carried out.
