Proposal for a United Nations Basic Space Technology Initiative

The United Nations Programme on Space Applications, implemented by the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs, promotes the benefits of space-based solutions for sustainable economic and social development. The Programme assists Member States of the United Nations to establish indigenous capacities for the use of space technology and its applications. In the past the Programme has primarily been focusing on the use of space applications and on basic space science activities. However, in recent years there has been a strong interest in a growing number of space-using countries to build space technology capacities, for example, the ability to develop and operate small satellites. In reaction to this development, the United Nations in cooperation with the International Academy of Astronautics has been organizing annual workshops on small satellites in the service of developing countries. Space technology related issues have also been addressed as part of various other activities of the Programme on Space Applications. Building on these experiences, the Office for Outer Space Affairs is now considering the launch of a new initiative, preliminarily titled the United Nations Basic Space Technology Initiative (UNBSTI), to promote basic space technology development. The initiative would be implemented in the framework of the Programme on Space Applications and its aim would be to help building sustainable capacities for basic space technology education and development, thereby advancing the operational use of space technology and its applications.     

论社区物质资源整合机制的构建

在社区各类资源中，物质资源最为重要，它是社区建设的物质基础和前提保障。社区物质资源的短缺极大地制约了社区建设和发展。因此，在建设和谐社区过程中，必须不断加强社区物质资源的整合。社区物质资源整合机制的构建主要包括社区资金的多元筹集机制和驻社区单位的资源共享机制。     

高校学生党员党性修养教育研究

共产党员的党性修养是党员立身行事的准则。现阶段,高校大学生党员队伍不断壮大,已成为我党新鲜血液的重要来源,也成为我党事业发展壮大的重要力量。加强大学生党性修养已成为高校学生党建工作的重要任务。新时期加强大学生党性修养教育,就要从理论修养教育、政治修养教育、道德修养教育、知识修养教育和作风修养教育着手并努力做到"四个坚持"。

Capacity building in space technology development: A new initiative within the United Nations programme on space applications

Since 1971 the UN Programme on Space Applications, implemented by the Office for Outer Space Affairs, has been organizing workshops, symposiums and expert meetings and providing training opportunities in the practical applications of space technology. In 2009 the Office launched the Basic Space Technology Initiative (BSTI). The BSTI encompasses a range of activities in support of capacity building in space technology development in response to the growing interest of academic and governmental organizations in many countries to establish basic, indigenous capabilities to develop nano- and small satellites. Considerations such as the education and training of experts, the creation of required testing and building infrastructure, opportunities for international cooperation and the applicable legal and regulatory frameworks are therefore of particular interest to these organizations. The BSTI aims to assist them with their efforts. This paper describes the origins of the initiative, the activities that have been conducted to date and the work planned for 2011 and beyond.     

雷暴冲击风荷载的大涡模拟

雷暴冲击风具有同常规的大气边界层风完全不同的风场特征.为研究雷暴冲击风场中建筑物的风荷载,采用大涡模拟(LES)方法对方形截面高层建筑进行了雷暴冲击风场数值模拟,获得了高层建筑在雷暴冲击风作用下的风荷载参数.同时,对雷暴冲击风场进行了数值模拟,所得结果与理论结果吻合良好,验证了方法的可靠性.     

智能化建筑(小区)网络与设备管理的特点与内容

智能化建筑(小区)是一种崭新的人居环境，它给物业管理带来诸多不同以往的特点，尤其是在网络和设备管理方面。信息的流畅性与安全设施的完善使得物业管理工作较为舒适，网络设备功能的多样性使整体物业费用下降，但设备的先进性要求管理者具有较高素质。智能化网络与设备管理的核心工作是保持其长期、持续运行。这要求物业管理从以往的定性检查深入到对系统每个零部件物理层的定量化检测，保证网络与设备运行所需要的相关环境和条件，并对信息资源进行安全保护。     

Gender diversity in geo-spatial technology and applications disciplines uptake in developing Asian countries – A survey-based competency analysis

Geo-Spatial Technology and Applications (GSTA) contributes significantly to the implementation of the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, which seeks to ‘leave no one behind’. This study attempts to assess the gender diversity in enrolment in GSTA programmes in developing countries in Asia using data available with the UN-affiliated Regional Centre in India. A survey was also conducted to gauge trainees’ comfort in a complex multi-cultural, multi-linguistic classroom environment. The analysis shows that female participation in short-term courses has been increasing rather steeply over the years (1995–2019). The enrolment has reached 30% in recent years. It is also observed that the female participants have preferred (about 10%) to enrol in physical Science and Technology (ST) -oriented courses such as Remote Sensing and GIS, Satellite Meteorology and Climate Change, and Space and Atmospheric Sciences when compared to electrical Engineering and Technology-oriented Satellite Communications and Global Navigation Satellite Systems courses that would require a strong knowledge of digital signals and systems theory.The survey study with a participation of 150 trainees from 17 countries shows that women trainees have a slight edge by 9% over the male counterparts in learning ST elements of the courses. At sub-regional levels, it is observed that participants from Indian sub-continent countries (ISC) are better by 15% than participants from South-east Asian Countries (SAC) and Central Asian Countries (CAC). As far as the course structure perspective is concerned, there has been a significant difference with 70% of the ISC trainees have found the courses as well-balanced covering equally both technology and applications, while only 36% and 56% of the trainees from SAC and CAC, respectively, have found the course as balanced. Importantly, the survey has revealed that the participants from SAC and CAC have a big challenge in apprehending lectures in English, as reflected by their top scores at 18% and 17%, respectively, compared with the corresponding value of the ISC trainees being 72%. Recommendations are suggested to sustain the female enrolment in long-term GSTA training programmes. Strategies that create family-friendly learning conditions, including joint education programmes involving lead institutions of the participants’ countries, are proposed to facilitate higher female participation. Furthermore, measures such as standardisation of curricula regionally at undergraduate levels and having periodic meetings of trainers are recommended in order to minimise the trainees’ core competency gaps in GSTA disciplines at the regional level.
