In the past few years, several new publications and exhibitions have presented surveys of the genre of artists’ magazines. This recent research has explored the publication histories of individual titles and articulated the significance of this genre within contemporary art history. Millennium magazines was a 2012 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art that traced the artists’ magazine into the 21st century. The organizers, Rachael Morrison and David Senior of MoMA Library, assembled a selection of 115 international tides published since 2000 for visitors to browse during the run of the exhibition and created a website as a continuing resource for information about the selected tides. The exhibition served as an introduction to the medium for new audiences and a summary of the active community of international artists, designers and publishers that still utilize the format in innovative ways. As these projects experiment with both print and digital media in their production and distribution of content, art libraries are faced with new challenges in digital preservation in order to continue to document experimental publishing practices in contemporary art and design.

New district energy projects facilitate to decentralize their energy supply, create efficiency in the production and distribution of energy, and enable the use of renewable fuels. Selection of an appropriate project delivery and contracting strategy is essential to achieve owner’s key objectives over the lifecycle of a district energy facility. The goal of this paper is to identify objectives of the owners in Canadian district energy projects, and then align those with project delivery and contracting strategy (PDCS) alternatives. The paper also provides a practical tool to assist owners in the selection of an appropriate PDCS for their district energy projects. This research has identified and validated key PDCS selection factors for Canadian district energy projects using Delphi based research method. The paper contributes to the body of knowledge by identifying PDCS alternatives, specifically for Canadian district energy projects, and selecting PDCS alternatives in the context of the project lifecycle.

The purpose of this paper is to consider coordinated selection of supply portfolio and scheduling of production and distribution in supply chains under regional and local disruption risks. Unlike many papers that assume the all-or-nothing supply disruption pattern, in this paper, only the regional disruptions belong to the all-or-nothing disruption category, while for the local disruptions all disruption levels can be considered. Two biobjective decision-making models, stochastic, based on the wait-and-see approach, and deterministic, based on the expected value approach, are proposed and compared to optimize the trade-off between expected cost and expected service. The main findings indicate that the stochastic programming wait-and-see approach with its ability to handle uncertainty by probabilistic scenarios of disruption events and the much simpler expected value problem, in which the random parameters are replaced by their expected values, lead to similar expected performance of a supply chain under multilevel disruptions. However, the stochastic approach, which accounts for all potential disruption scenarios, leads to a more diversified supply portfolio that will hedge against a variety of scenarios.

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to systematically and critically review the extant literature on the design of global production and distribution networks to identify gaps in the literature and identify future research opportunities. The design aspects deal with strategic and structural decisions such as: opening or closing of manufacturing plants or distribution centres, selection of locations for manufacturing or warehousing, and making substantial capacity changes in manufacturing or distribution. Design/methodology/approach – The authors examine the peer-reviewed literature on global production and distribution networks written in English. The search strategy is based on selected keywords and databases. The authors identify 109 articles from 1974 to 2012. Findings – The authors categorize the literature according to research methodology: case studies, conceptual modelling, surveys, and mathematical modelling. The amount of literature up to 2,000 is rather sparse, while there is a positive trend from 2,000 and onwards. The content analysis shows that different research methodologies focus on different but complementary aspects. The authors propose a research agenda for further research on design of global production and distribution networks. Research limitations/implications – The authors identify research opportunities related to complementary actor perspectives, extended supply chains that explicitly include transportation and suppliers, contingency factors, and new perspectives such as facility roles within production and distribution networks. Originality/value – This paper is to the author’s knowledge the first broad review that investigates the design aspects of the interrelationships between production and distribution facilities as well as transportation in global production and distribution networks across multiple research methodologies.

In this article, we report in detail the use of protective gases to extend the shelf-life of polymer-film-packed foodstuff and reduce the most typical bacteria and microorganisms that negatively affect the quality and lifetime of a given packaging. This article provides significant information about the most important advantages of using protective gases and examples of gases or gas mixtures which can be used for almost every kind of foodstuff depending on the application. We also discuss how protective gases change the level of microorganisms in food using gases and how the shelf-life of food can be enhanced using correct gases or gas mixtures. The article also provides imperative information on the selection of correct protective gases for specific applications, especially for food production, to preserve against the most typical threats which can appear during the packaging or production process. Packaging innovations can reduce the environmental impact of food and polymer packaging waste by prolonging products’ shelf-lives and by reducing waste along the production and distribution chain and at the household level.

This study focuses on management ways within a city multi-floor manufacturing cluster (MFMC). The application of MFMC in megapolises is closely related to the problem of urban spatial development and the problem of matching transport and logistics services. The operation of the MFMC depends on the efficiency of production and transport management considering technical, economic, end environmental factors. Therefore, conditions affecting decision-making in the field of production planning by MFMCs and accompanying transports within the agglomeration area with the use of the production-service platform were presented. Assumptions were created for the decision model, allowing for the selection of partners within the MFMC to execute the production order. A simplified decision model using the Hungarian algorithm was proposed, which was verified with the use of test data. The model is universal for material flow analysis and is an assessments basis for smart sustainable supply chain decision-making and planning. Despite the narrowing of the scope of the analysis and the simplifications applied, the presented model using the Hungarian algorithm demonstrated its potential to solve the problem of partner selection for the execution of the contract by MFMC.

The aim of the article is to try to define the relationship between the corporate social responsibility (CSR) and the creating shared value (CSV) concepts and marketing strategy. To achieve this goal, a method of critical analysis of national and foreign literature relating to these issues was used. On this basis, conclusions were formulated defining the scope and content of these relations. They relate primarily to a company’s mission, marketing research and marketing strategy. The relationship between the CSV concept and marketing strategy can be particularly seen in the evaluation and selection of new geographic markets and new buyer segments. They refer to changes in product policy – creation of products constituting common value. Relationships also relate to distribution policy, which may include the creation of local clusters and the inclusion of companies from these markets in production and distribution.

Microorganisms can contribute to the world's food supply if used to modify presently unacceptable raw materials so they become palatable; to convert wastes or other inedible materials to edible proteins, fats, and carbohydrates; and to preserve foods for later consumption. Challenges in the use of microorganisms for these purposes include: use of available native raw materials, selection of microorganisms, further processing of fermented foods or of microbial proteins, potential public health hazards, acceptance of new foods by undernourished persons, and cost of production and distribution as related to the ability of potential consumers to purchase the needed nutrients.

Anthropologists now routinely use global factors to describe and explain meanings and practices uncovered in specific ethnographic sites. In our efforts to explain illicit drug epidemics, we participate in this shift, since changes in a system of illicit drug production and distribution are always a part of the story. In the case study presented here--the increasing use of ecstasy in the late 1990s--we deal with two new problems. First, global and diffuse use of a drug that typically does not bring about clinical dependence makes the selection of a specific ethnographic site less relevant than it has been in past cases. Second, the system for production and delivery lacks the clear organization of such systems in past cases of heroin and cocaine. We conclude with a call, as have many others, for more development of an old anthropological idea, a nonsite-specific global anthropology, one that may also enable more effective participation in many kinds of policy discourse.
