Seat inventory control methods for Chinese passenger railways

Railway seat inventory control strategies play a crucial role in the growth of profit and train load factor. The railway passenger seat inventory control problem in China was addressed. Chinese passenger railway operation features and seat inventory control practice were analyzed firstly. A dynamic demand forecasting method was introduced to forecast the coming demand in a ticket booking period. By clustering, passengers' historical ticket bookings were used to forecast the demand to come in a ticket booking period with least squares support vector machine. Three seat inventory control methods: non-nested booking limits, nested booking limits and bid-price control, were modeled under a single-fare class. Different seat inventory control methods were compared with the same demand based on ticket booking data of Train T15 from Beijing West to Guangzhou. The result shows that the dynamic non-nested booking limits control method performs the best, which gives railway operators evidence to adjust the remaining capacity in a ticket booking period.

The Empirical Tests on Risk in Chinese Futures Market

The Research on Market Risks has been developed abroad in all sorts of markets since 1960＇s. It＇s necessary to comprehend and consider opportunity and challenge in Chinese futures market from the viewpoint of risk management. With different ARCH models, we find heteroscedasticity does exist in Chinese market, so we adopt the Variance Ratio. We test empirically the prices of Chinese futures market from 1993 to 2002. The results show that only futures price of copper meets the random walk, thereby confirming the weak form market efficiency. It also means that the function of price discovery is weak and the risk of futures market is poor. Finally, we give much constructive policy advice.

A 3D theoretical model for green management:a case study of Chinese enterprises

Companies that not only abide by environmental regulations, but also discover new techniques and adopt newmanagement methods to reduce negative environmental impacts often have positive effects on corporate profitability. Inorder to meet the needs of sustainability of enterprises and protect environment, the concept of green management isdeveloped and regarded as an important direction of management theory of the 21st century. Though there are manytheories and practices about green management in western countries, they are built based on the developed marketeconomy, which are not suitable for Chinese enterprises absolutely. By analyzing the viewpoints and models of theoverseas and domestic experts and scholars, combining characteristic of China’s market economy, this paper points outthe real connotation of enterprise green management - the combination of ecological harmony (harmony between humanand nature) with human harmony (harmony among people), establishes a 3D theoretical model, points out the defects ofenterprise’s green management in China, reanalyzes and redesigned enterprise green management, which paves the wayfor the deeper and broader development of green management.

Contemporary Patterns of Management of Tetralogy of Fallot:Data from a Single Center in China

Background:There is scarce research on large cohorts with tetralogy of Fallot(TOF)from China.The database in Fuwai Hospital was reviewed to ascertain current trends in the management of TOF and to determine the prevalence of various surgical techniques and the optimal early outcome.Methods:This cross-sectional study included 1861 patients who underwent surgery between 2012 and 2017 and were aged 0-18 years old with a primary diagnosis of TOF.A total of 1760 eligible patients were included in the analyses.Results:A total of 1683 patients underwent repair of TOF as a one-stage operation(primary repair).Sixty-one patients underwent repair of TOF after prior palliation.Of patients who underwent one-stage repair(n=1683):858 were 6 months to 1 year old,421 were 1 to 2 years old,251 were 2-18 years old,and 145 were 3 to 6 months old.Of patients who underwent repair following prior palliation(n=61),58(95.1%)were older than 1 year of age.Of 1744 complete repairs,986(56.0%)had annulus-sparing(AS)repair.Total in-hospital mortality was 15 of 1744(0.9%)for complete repair(including one-stage and staged repairs).The total incidence of the optimal early outcome was 78.2%in terms of a composite of the absence of death in the first year,significant right ventricular outflow tract obstruction,significant pulmonary valve insufficiency,or catheter or surgical reintervention.Conclusions:Surgical correction in patients with TOF can achieve an acceptable outcome in terms of death and reintervention.Primary repair at 6 months to 1 year of age is the most prevalent strategy in our centre.However,the relatively high incidence of early undesirable surgical adequacy of the pulmonary valve(PV)represents a wake-up call.

Chinese Water Resource Management and Application of the Harmony Theory

Chinese water resource management （CWRM） has passed through four stages： infancy, initial development, rapid development, and formation. In the last of these stages some problems persist and will affect management performance. CWRM was a decentralised, imperfectly codified and weakly implemented system that lacked a sound market policy, rational water prices, water conservation awareness, technical support and a performance appraisal system. The government of China proposed two new strategies in 2009： the Three Red Lines and the Interconnected River System Network （IRSN）. This paper analyses these two strategies and reflects on new CWRM concepts. Both strategies strive for the sustainable utilisation of water resources and human-water harmony. The concepts, quantification method and application of harmony theory to water resources management is discussed. Applications of harmony theory to water resources management include （i） harmony between humans and nature; （ii） a harmony strategy for water resources management; （iii） a rational allocation model for water resources among different areas and departments based on harmony theory; （iv） harmony-based water allocation issues associated with transboundary rivers; （v） harmony-based interbasin water transfer problems; and （vi） harmony-based control of pollution discharge. We conclude by discussing how harmony theory and its applications provide an appropriate pathway for water resource management in China.

From Autonomy to Governance： The Transition of Chinese Management in Nagasaki during the 17^th Century

For both China and Japan, the 17^th century was a historical turning point. Japan embarked gradually on the road of seclusion from the outside world, while China was in the turbulent period of the dynastic change from Ming to Qing Dynasty. Accompanied with the change of the situation in both sides, the nature and subject of Chinese society＇s management in Japan had shifted accordingly. That is, the transition from autonomy to governance had taken place, behind which was hidden by the shift of attitude that the defensive and vigilant mood replaced the hospitality and trust as to the Chinese, even the shift of ideology from a positive model to an uncivilized country as to China. The article is intended to outline the change of the Chinese management in Nagasaki during the 17^th century at different stages, focusing on the process and context of the transition from autonomy to governance, and simultaneously pays close attention to the coexisting shift, acquainting the readers with the implication of the transition.

Rigor and Relevance： On the Development of Entrepreneurship Research in China

This study examines the contributions of Chinese entrepreneurship research to academic knowledge and its practical implications. Specifically, we investigate how Chinese entrepreneurship research meets the standards of rigor and relevance based on a review of 64 papers published in five major scholarly journals in the Chinese mainland. Results show that Chinese entrepreneurship research has paid comparatively little attention to the ＂rigor＂ dimension, while focusing more heavily on practical relevance than on academic relevance on the ＂relevance＂ dimension. Future directions for China＇s entrepreneurship research are also discussed.
