Point Of Departure

The author’s point of departure is that building today is the early architecture of the age of science. It increasingly uses scientific methods and technologies of science. Consequently there are many pressures and necessities to innovate, but resistances exist in the form of inertia of the industry, the educational deficiencies of the professions and constructors, the demanding conditions for trouble-free design and construction, and the penalties now consequent upon trouble. In order to open the way for safe innovation there has been a shift towards regulation by performance criteria in place of the former definition by specific requirements; and in order to assess performance in advance of experience, a systematic evaluation is now available. The existence of these two developments has been made possible by the growth of building science, and they in turn define the monitoring and feed-back of experience as important functions of building research for the future. There is a need and capability developing to analyse building problems with increasing precision in several directions, and the process often defines new needs for materials and techniques. This is a centreto-periphery process, and the reverse also takes place, where product makers thrust into the market innovations which result from some matching of fresh ideas to apparent needs. In all cases the needs are defined consciously or unconsciously from the context of the subsystem within which the product or component will function. Buildings are always systems comprising many subsystems. Examples are then given of directions in which the author foresees needs for new developments being defined.

The Future

The increased emphasis upon the value chain and a growing focus on value adding activities has led to several new developments in management accounting. Critically evaluate these contemporary techniques and discuss the extent to which they offer improvements compared to traditional accounting techniques. Furthermore, management accounting will improve accounting techniques when value chain and add value-adding activities develop in the enterprise that searches for new accounting skills in the operation of the company. Generally, parts of traditional accounting techniques are not suitable for use in the current field of accounting, because these traditional accounting techniques could not provide the accurate index of cost, profit, depreciation and other factors considered by managers for operation. So, this essay would discuss several new accounting techniques in order to promote the performance of management and make manager will recognize what accounting techniques they should utilize for gaining better efficient management in the future.

The Future

Abstract. Strategic considerations and publications dealing with the future of industrial production are significantly influenced these days by the concept of “Industrie 4.0”. For this reason the field of measurement technology for industrial production must also tackle this concept when thinking about future trends and challenges in metrology. To this end, the Manufacturing Metrology Roadmap 2020 of the VDI/VDE Society for Measurement and Automatic Control (GMA) was published in 2011 (VDI/VDE-GMA, 2011; Imkamp et al., 2012). The content of this roadmap is reviewed and extended here, covering new developments in the field of the Industrie 4.0 concept and presented with expanded and updated content.

Sheep Production

New developments in the understanding of early life nutrition and whole of life performance offer opportunities for changing livestock performance in the future. How should hill country farmers use supplements and tactical nutritional additions to turn these insights into future benefits for sheep production? Opportunities may exist in adopting new forage species, and mixes of forage species, supplementary feeds and/ or functional supplements to enhance the performance of both the ewe and the lamb in late gestation and early lactation. The potential and problems of adding these as options into our pasture feeding system to more targeted feeding approaches are explored. Keywords: sheep, nutrition, forage

Dialectical Principle

Cognitive Linguistics started from the 1980s, and it has become a mainstream since the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, which has got widespread attention, with a nickname as the third revolution in linguistic circles after the Saussurean Revolution and the Chomskyean Revolution. According to the dialectical principle of “negation of negation”, theoretical research is always advancing, thus the linguists are beginning to think of the shortcomings of Cognitive Linguistics and new developments in the future. For instance, Dabrowska (2016) pointed out the seven deadly sins of Cognitive Linguistics, which, we think, are overstated and too radical. Cognitive Linguistics has its own historical significance and makes great contributions to the criticism of Saussurean “Linguistic Apriorism” and Chomskyean “Linguistic Nativism”, but Cognitive Linguistics also has its own weaknesses, which are to be exposed in brief in this paper. We have also tried to propose “Embodied-Cognitive Linguistics as a revision in order to emphasize the philosophical views of “materialism” and “humanism” as a basic start in linguistic research.
