The location patterns and organizational networks of both advanced producer services (APS) and cultural industries have attracted extensive attention in geography and other related disciplines. However, most research on these two sectors has examined each one in isolation, without paying attention on how they are engaged with each other. Drawing on a network analysis of the inter-firm service provision relationships between 245 cultural firms and their APS providers during the firms’ public listing processes in mainland China, this paper presents a pilot study of the functional interactions between cultural industries and APS from a geographical perspective. Our purpose is to expand the research on these two economic sectors from the simple mapping and ranking of their individual industrial activities to an investigation of the city-based spatial relationships between them. The outcome reveals that while the leading cultural firms and their APS intermediaries have demonstrated similar location patterns across major Chinese cities, the spatial interactions and connections between them are much more complicated than their co-location tends to suggest. This paper enriches our understanding of the functions of local clusters and trans-local networks in the establishment of inter-industrial linkages between the different sectors of knowledge economies. The paper also sheds light on the impacts of institutional context on the (spatial) development of cultural industries in a transitional economy.

ResumenEste artículo de revisión tiene como propósito discutir una noción ampliada del concepto de vacío urbano en el marco de una coyuntura global de crecimiento urbano disperso y una urgente gestión sostenible del territorio. Para informar sobre el estado actual de la discusión sobre el tema de los vacíos urbanos, este ensayo se ha articulado en dos secciones. La primera incluye la presentación de una serie de conceptos que justifican un contexto global de reclamo de los vacíos urbanos. La segunda sección contiene una recopilación de casos de gestión de vacíos urbanos, cuya viabilidad ha sido posible gracias a que se han sustentado en innovadoras herramientas de legislación urbana. En el contexto costarricense, en donde la escasa discusión en torno a los vacíos urbanos continua alojada en los imaginarios negativos sobre la ciudad, resulta importante visibilizar experiencias en donde esta acepción negativa ha sido superada. AbstractThe purpose of this review article is to discuss a broaden notion of urban void, in the context of urban sprawl and the urgent need for sustainable land management. To draw a picture about the topic of urban voids, this essay has been divided into two sections. The first part presents a number of concepts that justify a global response of reclaiming urban voids. The second section contains a compilation of case studies of urban void management, whose viability has been possible because innovative urban legislation tools. In the Costa Rican context, where the little discussion about urban voids remain housed in negative urban imaginary, it is important to make visible experiences where its negative meaning has been overcome.

ABSTRACTThis paper addresses the issue of corporate sustainability. It examines why achieving sustainability is becoming an increasingly vital issue for society and organisations, defines sustainability and then outlines a set of phases through which organisations can move to achieve increasing levels of sustainability. Case studies are presented of organisations at various phases indicating the benefits, for the organisation and its stakeholders, which can be made at each phase. Finally the paper argues that there is a marked contrast between the two competing philosophies of neo-conservatism (economic rationalism) and the emerging philosophy of sustainability. Management schools have been strongly influenced by economic rationalism, which underpins the traditional orthodoxies presented in such schools. Sustainability represents an urgent challenge for management schools to rethink these traditional orthodoxies and give sustainability a central place in the curriculum.

Multiple Regression Technique

Short-form versions of the Screening Test of Spanish Grammar (Toronto, 1973) and the Northwestern Syntax Screening Test (Lee, 1971) were devised for use with bilingual Latino children while preserving the original normative data. Application of a multiple regression technique to data collected on 60 lower social status Latino children (four years and six months to seven years and one month) from Spanish Harlem and Yonkers, New York, yielded a small but powerful set of predictor items from the Spanish and English tests. Clinicians may make rapid and accurate predictions of STSG or NSST total screening scores from administration of substantially shortened versions of the instruments. Case studies of Latino children from Chicago and Miami serve to cross-validate the procedure outside the New York metropolitan area.

Communication Needs

As the field of telepractice grows, perceived barriers to service delivery must be anticipated and addressed in order to provide appropriate service delivery to individuals who will benefit from this model. When applying telepractice to the field of AAC, additional barriers are encountered when clients with complex communication needs are unable to speak, often present with severe quadriplegia and are unable to position themselves or access the computer independently, and/or may have cognitive impairments and limited computer experience. Some access methods, such as eye gaze, can also present technological challenges in the telepractice environment. These barriers can be overcome, and telepractice is not only practical and effective, but often a preferred means of service delivery for persons with complex communication needs.
