IJBA is currently published twice a year. Given the rapid growth of business anthropology, a journal dedicated to the field is much needed. Business anthropology uses qualitative and ethnographic methods as an alternative to more formal methodologies. Specific tools include participant observation, informal and structured interviews, and other “naturalistic”, informal, and face-to-face methods of investigation. Business anthropologists play a key role in developing culturally sensitive policies and strategies in a world increasingly typified by cross-cultural contacts. The journal seeks articles by anthropologically-oriented scholars and practitioners. Regionally-focused contributions are welcome, especially when their findings can be generalized. We encourage the dialogues between the findings or theories generated from the field of business anthropology and the theories of general anthropology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, general business anthropology theories and methods, management, marketing, consumer behavior, product design and development, knowledge management and competitive intelligence, human resources management, international business, etc. Objectives The objectives of IJBA are to: Generate an exchange of ideas between scholars, practitioners and industry specialists in the field of applied and business anthropology Encourage bridge-building between the practitioner and the academic world Provide a vehicle of communication for anthropologists working within the practitioner world Provide a forum for work concerned with qualitative business analysis inspired by anthropological theory and methods Call for Papers We are always looking for good manuscripts! We encourage practitioners, students, community members, and faculty from all disciplines to submit articles. The editors and one or more anonymous peer reviewers will review the manuscript prior to its acceptance for publication. In addition to research and academic articles, we feature case studies, commentaries and reviews. Please send manuscripts, news notes and correspondence to: Dr. Gang Chen, Editor-in-Chief, via e-mail at [email protected]; [email protected].

  • Delineation of the Urban-Rural Boundary Through Data Fusion: Applications to Improve Urban and Rural Environments and Promote Intensive and Healthy Urban Development
    International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health Article Delineation of the Urban-Rural Boundary through Data Fusion: Applications to Improve Urban and Rural Environments and Promote Intensive and Healthy Urban Development Jun Zhang * , Xiaodie Yuan, Xueping Tan and Xue Zhang School of Architecture and Planning, Yunnan University, Kunming 650500, China; [email protected] (X.Y.); [email protected] (X.T.); [email protected] (X.Z.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: As one of the most important methods for limiting urban sprawl, the accurate delineation of the urban–rural boundary not only promotes the intensive use of urban resources, but also helps to alleviate the urban issues caused by urban sprawl, realizing the intensive and healthy development of urban cities. Previous studies on delineating urban–rural boundaries were only based on the level of urban and rural development reflected by night-time light (NTL) data, ignoring the differences in the spatial development between urban and rural areas; so, the comprehensive consideration of NTL and point of interest (POI) data can help improve the accuracy of urban–rural boundary delineation. In this study, the NTL and POI data were fused using wavelet transform, and then the urban–rural boundary before and after data fusion was delineated by multiresolution segmentation. Finally, the delineation results were verified. The verification result shows that the accuracy of Citation: Zhang, J.; Yuan, X.; Tan, X.; delineating the urban–rural boundary using only NTL data is 84.20%, and the Kappa value is Zhang, X. Delineation of the 0.6549; the accuracy using the fusion of NTL and POI data on the basis of wavelet transform is Urban-Rural Boundary through Data 93.2%, and the Kappa value is 0.8132.

Read Full License Page 1/19 Abstract For a long time, there is no clear-cut to identify some species of paragonimus in Yunnan Province, China. This paper involved the distribution of Paragonimus in Jinping country and Baoshan city, Yunnan province. In this experiment, the metacercariae, excysted metacercariae, eggs, adult worms were obtained from different hosts were observed and measured. Cats have been described as the appropriate denitive host of paragonimus sp., which are closed to P. cheni according to morphology. Especially the ovaries of adult worms are few and has no third branches. With SEM observation, their spines in the surface are single, a sharp-pointed knife or half-moon in shape and the end of a few of spines are bifurcate. While the clustered sequences strains of this study in the ITS2 tree clustered of Yunan is out sider of P. skirjabini complex and have the genetically greater distances than other isolates of the P. skrjabini complex. Therefore, the Paragonimus sp. of this study from Jinping County and Baoshan city are the same subspecies of P.

N. Ho et S. W. Liu was explored to screen the appropriate plant regeneration method and to provide an efficient propagation mode, useful for artificial breeding technology or for further research and development of the Tibetan endemic medicinal plant. In this study, the most suitable explant and hormone were chosen according to single factor test. Next, the effects of different hormone combinations on basal stem cluster bud induction, callus induction, adventitious bud occurrence and plant regeneration were investigated by using complete combination and orthogonal experiment. The obtained results showed that the explants suitable for in vitro of S. conaensis were stem tips with leaves, which were regenerated through the method of basal stem cluster bud occurrence in the MS medium with 2.0 mg∙L -1 6-BA, 0.5 mg∙L -1 NAA, but the proliferation coefficient was low, only 3.16 after 40 days of culture.

This project served as a competition entry, submitted to the International Consultation on Concept Design of the OCT Group Headquarter in Kunming, Yunnan, China. OCT Headquarter Office Tower @ Kunming is a proposed mixed-use skyscraper-a new landmark, providing a soaring new addition to Kunming rising skyline and displaying the images of OCT Group all around. The intention of the design is not only grounded in its form. It is influenced from the deep thinking of OCT’s corporate culture - ‘Quality Life Creators’. The project takes inspirations from the local landscape in Yunnan. While lamenting the excitement of Yunnan tourism, from Dianchi Lake to Stone Forest and from terraces to camellia, the design team is also experiencing OCT’s philosophy of ‘Relying on nature and people-oriented’. The design pushes this ideology with the cooperation of the interior and exterior, both interactively and fluently.
