Port Capability Evaluation from the Perspective of Supply Chain

Today’s ports have become an important node in the global supply chain. It is particularly important to make a scientific assessment of the comprehensive capabilities of the port and to provide a reference for the long-term development of the port. From the perspective of the supply chain, this article first selects the evaluation indicators that affect the port’s capabilities from four aspects of port resource ownership, control management, comprehensive services, and innovation-driven aspect. Secondly, we use the expert scoring method to judge the importance of the evaluation indicators and build a scientific and independent port capacity evaluation system from the perspective of the supply chain. Then, this paper uses the analytic hierarchy process to determine the weight coefficients of each evaluation index and uses the gray cluster analysis method of the triangular whitening weight function based on the center point to establish a qualitative and quantitative port capacity evaluation model from the perspective of the supply chain. Finally, we take a port in Northeast Asia as an example to conduct an empirical analysis to verify the feasibility of the port capacity evaluation system and model from the perspective of the supply chain constructed in this paper. The research results of this article can well analyze the port’s resource ownership, control and management capabilities, comprehensive service capabilities, and innovation-driven capabilities and provide a practical and effective theoretical basis for the port’s key development directions.

Theological Revolution and the Idea of Equality

The transition in Europe from a predominantly agricultural society dominated by a landed aristocracy to an emerging commercial one with an expanding bourgeoisie gave birth to a reformulated expression of Christianity whose doctrines could better legitimate the new institutions and practices of commercial society. Whereas Catholicism provided an ideology that justified the landlords’ capture of economic surplus, Protestantism legitimated the emerging bourgeoisie’s ability to do the same. Protestantism’s privileging of work and asceticism afforded social respectability to the bourgeoisie and ideological support for its capturing a share of society’s surplus. It gave legitimacy to the harsh social treatment of a rising class of wage workers who had been separated from any ownership, control, or ready access to the means of production. Protestantism served as a transitional religion between a traditional agricultural world dominated by Catholic doctrine and a more modern commercial one dominated by secular thought.

Comparison of Morocco, Egypt, Turkey, and Tunisia Traditional Settlement as Muslim City and Kampung Naga Settlement as Indonesian Traditional Settlement in Perspective Form of Entrance

Settlement in Muslim city consists of forms of entrance or form of submission. There are control, use, and ownership.

This research used descriptive comparative method because to know between the form of entrance of traditional settlements in muslim cities and traditional settlements in Kampung Naga. The conclusion of this research are (1) based on the cases of form of entrance in muslim settlement in muslim city, the most ideal form of entrance is the unified form because applied Islamic legal system or shari’ah; (2) residents of Kampung Naga are the owner, user, and controller of settlement. Traditional settlements in Kampung Naga have a unified form of entrance where this is the ideal form in the Islamic legal system. Every resident have same rights or huquq.

Place Attachment and Alienation from Place: Cultural Displacement in Gentrifying Ethnic Enclaves

Commercial gentrification often accompanies residential gentrification. Both processes contribute to the real or perceived threat of displacement for longtime residents of ethnic enclaves experiencing gentrification. Cultural displacement is a related concern among residents who may experience a declining sense of ownership, control, or belonging as newer residents and commercial establishments move into their communities. Yet, other longtime residents experience an increased sense of safety as their neighborhoods gentrify and they may appreciate the new amenities gentrification brings. I highlight the symbolic significance of local businesses in gentrifying neighborhoods and identify two different patterns of longtime residents experiencing their communities as something alien to them—a phenomenon I call alienation from place. Alienation from place may be a product of social and cultural displacement or may be alleviated by changes to a neighborhood accompanying gentrification processes, a posteriori alienation from place and a priori alienation from place, respectively.

Ownership Control Eats Strategy and Culture for Lunch: The Case for Future Ownership Development Prior to Ownership Transition

A review of the academic research and practitioner best practices literature highlights how little we still know about the role that ownership control plays in the continuity of founder-controlled and family-controlled firms. Founder-controlled firms have been shown to financially outperform other firms. Allowing for more nuanced findings given the heterogeneity of family businesses, a similar advantage has been found in family-controlled firms around the world when their performance is contrasted with that of management-controlled firms. Research points to generational and family participation effects that may contribute to a gradual decline in this advantage over the generations. Still, controlling families of family firms face the prospect of leading a family-controlled firm across generations that continues to derive the financial and noneconomic benefits of such control or to squander that opportunity by not having ownership control be a fundamental consideration in their owners’ strategy when facing a generational transition. Statutory ownership control, psychological ownership and family unity approaches are all considered in an exploration of a future ownership development perspective and approaches that controlling families can take to preserve ownership control and the resulting comparative advantage evidenced in higher financial and noneconomic returns over generations.

Privasi “Pertemanan” Remaja di Media Sosial

Media sosial telah mengubah cara berpikir, berkomunikasi, dan berinteraksi para remaja dengan orang lain. Namun, kemunculan media sosial juga mendorong pengungkapan privasi secara terbuka di area publik sehingga memberi dampak negatif bagi remaja. Penelitian ini merupakan penelitian kualitatif bersifat deskriptif dengan menggunakan Teori Communication Privacy Management yang diperkenalkan oleh Sandra Petronio. Dengan menggunakan Teori Communication Privacy Management, penelitian ini berupaya menjelaskan manajemen privasi komunikasi remaja dalam mengelola pengungkapan atau penyembunyian informasi pribadi terkait seks atau pornografi di media sosial. Ada tiga elemen (key word) yang menjadi dasar asumsi Teori Communication Privacy Management ini, yaitu ownership, control dan turbulence. Menurut Petronio, ketika berada dalam sebuah hubungan akan diatur batasan-batasan apa yang bersifat pribadi dan publik. Penelitian ini memperlihatkan bahwa sebagai pemilik informasi (ownership), remaja mengontrol informasi pribadi yang dimilikinya berdasarkan batasan privasi yang telah ditetapkannya. Pengungkapan dan penyembunyian informasi pribadi ini sifatnya dapat berubah dan bergantung pada aturan untuk mengontrol tingkat aksesibilitas. Pembahasan soal seks atau pornografi memiliki batasan untuk dibagikan kepada orang tua, tetapi dapat lebih terbuka dengan teman. Saat informasi pribadi remaja tersebar di media sosial yang bersifat publik, bahkan diketahui orang orang tua, maka akan terjadi turbulensi privasi (turbulence)
