Regional Innovation Policies in the Czech Republic and the Case of Prague: An Emerging Role of a Regional Level?

The aim of the paper is to provide an overview of the development of Czech innovation policy which started to get its shape in the first years of the 21st century. The article traces its origins to a number of interlinked factors—the introduction of European regional policy in the Czech Republic, the increased inflow of foreign direct investment into R&D-intensive sectors and also the devolution of power to Czech regions that were established in 2001 and gave a new, regional dimension to research and innovation policy. It pays particular attention to the process through which the regionally-based innovation policy advocated by the European Union (EU) has been translated and adapted in the context of a new EU member state. As an illustration of the efforts at the regional level to make a better use of the potential of R&D and innovation in the regional development, a case study of a regional innovation strategy of the City of Prague is analysed. The City of Prague was selected for a critical analysis of an innovation system and innovation policy due to the fact that it is a region with significant but until now not fully exploited innovation potential and, in addition, its first innovation strategy has been recently adopted. The innovation strategy is closely scrutinized and the process of its elaboration is critically examined within the European and especially national context. The authors demonstrate that there is a lot of conceptual ambiguity and confusion associated with the process of transferring the experiences of Western European regions to the Czech Republic. The authors believe that at least some of their observations and analysis of weaknesses of the process through which the regional innovation strategy (RIS) has been carried out will have relevance for other Czech regions and even for other regions in the new EU member states.

程敏政“冒祖附族”说考辨

自程敏政统宗谱刊梓之后,徽州程氏一直就存在着程敏政"冒祖附族"的种种说法,程敏政伪造近祖谱系似不能成立,他主要是用氏族家法构造了远祖谱系.程敏政"冒祖附族"说的产生与广泛流传有其社会原因,这就是徽州程氏的各宗支,为了维护祖先崇拜信仰、宗族凝聚力以及宗族地位,反对程敏政修改其早期祖先谱系.     

我的村庄

村庄把尘土交给我,迷乱了翻看荒老时光的眼睛;生活把五味交付给我,业已缺失的味蕾陷进亘古的丛莽,让咀嚼显得分外苍白……——题记一     

A characterisation study of Ubaid period ceramics from As-Sabbiya,Kuwait, using a non-destructive portable X-Ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometer and petrographic analyses

The Ubaid cultural phenomena (6500–4200 BC) of southern Mesopotamia has been used to characterise other archaeological sites in the Arabian Gulf region. The aim of this inquiry is to explore the nature of the interaction between the homeland of the Ubaid and the wider Gulf region. Through the use of a non-destructive portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF) spectrometer, this study seeks to characterise and identify the chemical and mineralogical compositions of the ceramic assemblage from the Bahra 1 site of the As-Sabbiya region, Kuwait. The chemical results demonstrated that a combination of six trace elements [rubidium (Rb), strontium (Sr), yttrium (Y), zirconium (Zr), niobium (Nb) and barium (Ba)] occur significantly enough to delineate clay-based artifact groups—local red coarse from Ubaid, while the mineralogical analysis confirms the pXRF result and identifies the source of the raw materials and temper as well. Also, the comparison between the Ubaid and Bronze Age assemblage results suggests that potters used different clay resources within their own regions and/or production techniques.     

东北地区城市规模分布的分形特征

本文借助Zipf公式考察了东北地区(1994)城市规模分布的分形几何特征,发现辽宁省城市规模分布具有双分形结构,吉林省城市规模分布具有单分形结构,而黑龙江省城市规模分布则具有局部分形结构,整个东北地区的城市规模分布呈现局部分形图式,但显示出双分形迹象。文章得出了一些重要的理论结论,并为东北三省的城市体系等级结构优化提出了若干建议。     

中华人民共和国的国旗为五星红旗——纠正文献史料上的一个错误

中华人民共和国国旗是五星红旗,这是众所周知的事。笔者何以还要写文章进行讨论呢?因为近年来出版的许多教材、工具书的记述有误。1949年9月27日,中国人民政治协商会议第一届全体会议通过决议,“中华人民共和国的国旗为五星红旗,象征中国革命人民大团结。”1954年后历次宪法和1990年《中华人民共和国国旗法》都明确规定：“中华人民共和国国旗是五星红旗。”但是近年出版的许多书籍中,均称一届全国政协通过“中华人民共和国的国旗为红地五星旗”。这种记述是不对的。1949年9月27日,新华社电讯报道了当天政协全体会议通过的6项决议,其中第六项便是：“通过中华人民共和国的国旗为五星红旗,象征中国革命人民大团结。”28日,《人民日报》第1版刊载了这份电讯。     

广州城市游憩商业区(RBD)的形成与发展

城市游憩商业区作为城市中一种新的功能区已逐渐成为城市新的空间要素,为旅游者、本地及周边地区的居民承担着提供旅游、休闲、娱乐、购物等功能,并作为城市游憩系统中的重要组成部分。本文对初具规模的广州城市RBD--天河城地段进行实证研究,分析城市RBD的形成过程和发展特点,总结其形成机制。     

语义演变视角下敦煌文献词语“枝罗”再析

敦煌文献中的"枝罗"表示亲属或有亲戚关系的人,本字为"枝萝"。该词构词特别,在各语素本义的基础上通过隐喻引申产生新义。与其相关语词还有"亲萝""亲枝""亲房"等。对"枝罗"的语义内涵进行考辨,能为准确理解敦煌文献提供参考;对该类语词进行勾稽可体现汉语词汇的丰富性。
