今日头条:北欧理事会在瑞典议会举办数字化论坛

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 北欧理事会于1月23-24日在瑞典议会举办为期两天的闭门研讨会。但其中,24日的数字化论坛对媒体开放。

论坛会上,北欧理事会主席迈克尔.特兹施内尔首先介绍了2018年要讨论的项目和数字化的领域。

然后是Exponential AB公司总裁克劳迪娅.乌尔松介绍了2030年的北欧,阐述了新技术将对市民和社会的影像。

瑞典住房和数字化部长环境党前党首彼得.埃里克松介绍了北欧理事会部长级会议有关数字化问题的讨论和瑞典政府数字化方面的工作。

人类数据互动学教授和前数字委员会主席杨.尤里克森讲述了数字化将如何影响人类和人类社会以及数字化将怎样改善我们的生活。

哥德堡大学政治学教授伍尔夫.比耶雷德讲述了数字化在政治民主进程中的重要性以及民主参与将如何受到数字化的影响。

大家短暂讨论之后,左翼党增长与发展委员会委员Svenneling阐述了对北欧数字化的建议。

北欧理事会知识和文化委员会委员拉师-阿纳.斯塔生对教育和科研方面数字化协调提出了建议。他建议加大远程教育的投入。

福利委员会本特.马蒂森阐述了福利方面的数字化情况,例如福利技术,E健康和E身份证等。

最后,北欧理事会瑞典代表团副主席皮亚.安德森对与会的80多名代表表示感谢。

会议结束时,记者就北欧理事会的组织性质和宗旨采访了北欧理事会主席迈克尔.特兹施内尔。

他说,北欧理事会不是政治机构,是一个论坛,是北欧五国议会之间的一个论坛性组织,我们相互交流经验,但是,无权作出任何决定。我们必须互相鼓舞,主要目的就是要加强北欧五国之间的联系,促进北欧五国之间在各种问题上的交流,增强共识,互利互信。从个人的角度,我们可以认识我们的邻国同行。这样在国际事务中容易协调我们的立场。我们利用这个平台来讨论我们共同关心的话题,也可以共同展示我们北欧地区的形象。

这些国家大部分是欧盟国家,但是,挪威和冰岛都不是欧盟成员。因此,北欧理事会不是北欧的一个行政机构,只是一个交流的平台。

他说,我们每个国家派出20名议员的议会代表团(冰岛7名),包括各个党派的代表,代表各国议会前来出席会议。但是讨论的议题都是大家关心的关于发展方面的问题,各抒己见,互相学习和探讨。我们也可以邀请部长来参加会议。但没有法律约束力。

特兹施内尔是挪威议会外事委员会副主席,本次会议挪威代表团团长。

在问及他个人对中挪关系的评价时,他说,我们两国关系现在正常化了,我觉得我们还有很多东西需要向中国学习。我们也希望中挪之间能有更多东西需要相互了解和相互学习。我们首先要把自己国内的事情做好,然后,互相交流。我们希望加强民主和自由,我们不会把我们的价值观强加给别人。中国有中国的国情,我们愿意更多了解中国。

瑞典企业家精神与小企业研究所ESBRI举行企业发展讲座

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)–瑞典企业家精神与小企业研究所ESBRI于1月23日举办如何支持小企业进一步发展,提高竞争能力讲座。

主讲人是乌普萨拉大学博士生Katarina Blomkvist 和Ivo Zander.  他们认为很多瑞典企业通过内部更新和创新可以增强企业发展潜力。现在瑞典政府应该多支持小企业发展,而不是只停留在支持开创公司的起步阶段。

他们分析了企业发展过程中遇到的障碍,并提出了新的建议。那就是把关注点稍微从起步的公司移向正在发展的公司,增强他们的发展能力。

这个话题很有趣,因为在瑞典确实政府采取很多措施来支持小企业发展,每年都有很多人注册公司,在瑞典注册公司很容易,但是,最终如何发展,前两年似乎没有太多关注。现在,该博士论文研究显示,应该给予更多发展关注。

关于公司内部治理,还是设计人才问题,再教育问题和开拓精神,内部反应能力等许多问题。

瑞典企业90%是小公司,有灵活性,但是想发展壮大,如果没有政府或大企业扶持,还是很难的。就拿本公司瑞中桥来说,尽管是成立公司了,但是,没有投入,没有人才,最终还是在原地打转。要想发展,必须有足够的客户,以及大客户来满足小企业的需求。当然,相反的情况也成立,那就是小企业一定要有自己独特的技能,知识产权等等,来满足大企业的需求。这样才能有市场业务不断。

ESBRI就是由瑞典创新局Vinnova和瑞典地区经济增长局资助的学习组织。

瑞典还有更SNS瑞典学习网络和斯德哥尔摩商会是更高级的商业学习研讨组织。专门讨论经济发展方面的大政方针。

Har du lite tid över i morgon eftermiddag? Då rekommenderar jag ett besök på Estrad där Katarina Blomkvist och Ivo Zander från Uppsala universitet föreläser om intraprenörskap. De menar att förnyelse i befintliga företag är en förbisedd potential i många svenska bolag, och att vi bör lägga mer krut på det (och kanske fokusera lite mindre på startups). Forskarna kommer att berätta vilka organisatoriska faktorer som främjar respektive hindrar ett levande intraprenörskap – och hur du kan påverka dem för att utveckla ditt företags intraprenöriella förmåga.

今日头条:卡罗林斯卡医院有9000多病人在等候手术

北欧绿色邮报网报道(记者陈雪霏)– 据瑞典每日新闻斯德哥尔摩版面报道,瑞典著名的卡罗林斯卡大学医院目前有9000多名病人在等候手术,该人数是2014年的三倍。这些病人中有四分之一是儿童。

报道在中间发表一张令人痛心的照片,一个小女孩儿雷倍卡7岁,自己画了一幅很漂亮的画,一个小孩和两朵花,送给天使爸爸。妈妈33岁,爸爸丹尼尔35岁,2017年夏天因癌症去世。

当医生发现他得了癌症以后,让他排队手术,等候时间是三个月。结果等他的胃被切开时,为时已晚,夏天,他去世了。他妻子说,排队时间太长了。

今年一月份每日新闻报获得的数字是8700多病人在等候手术。大多数人的等候期是三个月。有一个内部人士说,确实,等候名单太长,象海啸一样。现在,其他医院自己本身就有很大问题,还要帮助卡罗林斯卡。

据报道,卡罗林斯卡负责人说,需要手术的人一年有32000多人。需要等3个月以上的有2200多人。因为他们已经解决了500多人的问题。

其中1100多儿童等待手术。他们将把他们送到纳卡,乌普萨拉和林雪平医院。据报道,卡罗林斯卡医学院在进行大幅度重组调整,结果导致等候手术的病人大幅度攀升,从2014年的755人增加到了2721人。

卡罗林斯卡医学院的目标是建成世界上最先进的医学院,但是,随着医学院的大规模调整,信息不流畅,病人有时需要在这里手术,有时需要那里手术。

再说蕾贝卡,7岁的小女孩儿已经很能说了,她在学校里也和同学们说起这个事情,大家都心情不好,于是老师在班上也对与存在与死亡的事情进行了讨论。这样缓解了孩子们的心情。

根据记者采访,2016年丹尼尔检查身体时发现了癌症,盲肠上有阴影,随后,5月份确定是恶性肿瘤。根据国家标准,盲肠癌应该在39天内得到治疗。医生当时说他很年轻还处在早期,所以没有太着急。但是,手术本该6月初开始,结果推到7月初,结果丹尼尔得了心肌炎,从7月初又推到8月。丹尼尔和妻子两年前已经离婚,但是,后来,他们关系又近了。前妻说,丹尼尔是个冷静乐观的人,没有急着去手术而是等待医生的召唤。经过三次检查之后,8月份终于做了手术,但是,当他们切开他的腹部的时候,发现癌细胞已经大面积扩散了,做什么都晚了,他们只好又把他的伤口缝上,什么都没做。到2017年6月,丹尼尔去世了。我们没有得到任何诊断处理答复,因此拒绝离开医院。

每日新闻记者联系医院,医院的医生说,丹尼尔的手术与排队没有任何关系,主要是他们来手术太晚了。心肌炎发现后只有几天就好了,但是,他们又等了一个月才来手术。如果不等这两个月,或许丹尼尔的命运又是另一种情形。但是,癌症组的主治医生说这也是个案,不好评论。

看来,有病要及时治疗,不要耽误了。

(Stockholm, 13 December) The Swedish Government has formally appointed Dr Jessica Tuchman Mathews as a new member of the SIPRI Governing Board.

Dr Jessica Tuchman Mathews is an American scholar with a background in biochemistry and biophysics. She was most recently President of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, a foreign policy think tank in Washington, D.C., and has also held distinguished positions in the executive and legislative branches of government, management, research and journalism.

‘I have admired SIPRI’s work and its impact on global thinking for so many years. Now, I couldn’t be more pleased to make a small contribution to it at a time when its work is crucial’, comments Jessica Mathews.

Welcoming the appointment, SIPRI’s Chair of the Governing Board Jan Eliasson says, ‘We are extremely honoured that Jessica Mathews has accepted our invitation. Her background, impressive career and experience both as scientist and head of a world-leading think tank offer a truly beneficial combination for SIPRI and we look forward to her contributions to SIPRI’s Governing Board’.

Apart from her post at Carnegie, Dr Mathews was Director of the Office of Global Issues of the National Security Council, covering nuclear proliferation, conventional arms sales policy, chemical and biological warfare, and human rights; she served as deputy to the Undersecretary of State for Global Affairs; and she was founding Vice President and Director of Research of the World Resources Institute, a center for policy research on environmental and natural-resource management issues.

‘Dr Mathews’ expertise, her career and broad range of experience will bring very relevant and timely input to many areas of our research’, says SIPRI’s Director Dan Smith. ‘Especially with the current global outlook, I am grateful that Dr Mathews will help guide our participation in international public discourse.’

The Governing Board takes the strategic decisions on SIPRI’s research agenda, activities, organization and financial administration. Dr Mathews joins a board of individuals with profound and broad-ranging expertise in diplomacy, policy formation, academia and research.

Global arms industry: First rise in arms sales since 2010, says SIPRI

 Xuefei Chen Axelsson
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 22(Greenpost)– Global arms sales increased 38 percent since 2002, according to Stockholm International Peace Research Institute report issued in December.

Global arms industry: First rise in arms sales since 2010, says SIPRI

Sales of arms and military services by the world’s largest arms-producing and military services companies—the SIPRI Top 100—totalled $374.8 billion in 2016, according to new international arms industry data released today by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI).

The total for the SIPRI Top 100 in 2016 is 1.9 per cent higher compared with 2015 and represents an increase of 38 per cent since 2002 (when SIPRI began reporting corporate arms sales). This is the first year of growth in SIPRI Top 100 arms sales after five consecutive years of decline.

US companies increase their share of total arms sales in 2016

At a combined total of $217.2 billion, arms sales of US companies listed in the SIPRI Top 100 grew by 4.0 per cent in 2016. US military operations overseas as well as acquisitions of large weapon systems by other countries have driven this rise. Arms sales by Lockheed Martin—the world’s largest arms producer—rose by 10.7 per cent in 2016, which was decisive to the increase in the USA’s share of overall SIPRI Top 100 sales to 57.9 per cent. ‘With the acquisition of helicopter producer Sikorsky in late 2015 and higher delivery volumes of the F-35 combat aircraft, Lockheed Martin reported significant growth in its arms sales in 2016,’ says Aude Fleurant, Director of SIPRI’s Arms and Military Expenditure Programme.

The rise in sales and the number of US military services companies ranked in the SIPRI Top 100 are noticeable trends in 2016. Some of these companies have increased their sales through the acquisition of the military services divisions of larger arms producers. This was the case for Leidos, for example, which acquired Lockheed Martin’s information technology and technical services businesses in 2016.

Arms sales by companies in Western Europe remain stable, but trends diverge

The combined arms sales of companies in Western Europe listed in the SIPRI Top 100 remained stable in 2016 at a total of $91.6 billion—an increase of 0.2 per cent compared with 2015. However, the trends for arms sales in the largest arms-producing countries— namely the United Kingdom, France, Italy and Germany—displayed clear divergences. There were overall decreases in the arms sales of Trans-European, French and Italian companies, while companies in the UK and Germany recorded overall increases.

‘Germany’s 6.6 per cent increase in arms sales for 2016 is mainly due to the growth in sales of armoured vehicle producer Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (12.8 per cent) and land systems producer Rheinmetall (13.3 per cent),’ says SIPRI Senior Researcher Pieter Wezeman. ‘Both companies have benefited from demand for arms in Europe, the Middle East and South East Asia.’

The UK’s decision to withdraw from the European Union did not seem to have an impact on the arms sales of British companies, which rose by 2.0 per cent in 2016. The arms sales of BAE Systems, the fourth largest arms producer globally, remained stable (up by 0.4 per cent). The highest growth in arms sales by a British company (43.2 per cent) was recorded by GKN, an aerospace components manufacturer.

Russian arms sales grow, but pace of increase slows

The combined arms sales of Russian companies listed in the SIPRI Top 100 increased by 3.8 per cent, amounting to $26.6 billion in 2016. Russian companies accounted for 7.1 per cent of the overall total. ‘The major economic difficulties experienced by Russia in 2016 have contributed to a slowdown in the rate of increase in the arms sales of Russian companies,’ says SIPRI Senior Researcher Siemon Wezeman.

Among the 10 Russian companies listed in the SIPRI Top 100, the trends in arms sales are mixed: five companies recorded sales growth, while the other five showed decreases. The highest ranked Russian company in the SIPRI Top 100 for 2016 is United Aircraft Corporation, which is placed 13th. Its arms sales grew by 15.6 per cent compared with 2015 due to increased deliveries to the Russian armed forces and higher export volumes.

 South Korea dominates arms sales by emerging producers

SIPRI’s ‘emerging producers’ category covers companies based in Brazil, India, South Korea and Turkey. The trend in this category for 2016 is dominated by the 20.6 per cent overall increase in the arms sales of South Korean companies, with total sales amounting to 8.4 billion. ‘Continuing and rising threat perceptions drive South Korea’s acquisitions of military equipment, and it is increasingly turning to its own arms industry to supply its demand for weapons,’ says Siemon Wezeman. ‘At the same time, South Korea is aiming to realize its goal of becoming a major arms exporter.’

 Falling Japanese arms sales drive decline in other established producers’ total

SIPRI’s ‘other established producers’ category covers companies based in Australia, Israel, Japan, Poland, Singapore and Ukraine. The combined arms sales of companies in these countries fell by 1.2 per cent in 2016, largely driven by an overall decrease in the arms sales of Japanese companies (–6.4 per cent). Japan’s largest arms companies experienced sharp falls in 2016: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries’ arms sales decreased by 4.8 per cent, while those of Kawasaki Heavy Industries and Mitsubishi Electric Corporation declined by 16.3 and 29.2 per cent respectively.

 The SIPRI Arms Industry Database

The SIPRI Arms Industry Database was created in 1989. It contains financial and employment data on arms-producing companies worldwide. Since 1990, SIPRI has published data on the arms sales and employment of the 100 largest of these arms-producing companies in the SIPRI Yearbook.

‘Arms sales’ are defined by SIPRI as sales of military goods and services to military customers, including sales for domestic procurement and sales for export. Changes are calculated in real terms and country comparisons are only for the same companies over different years.

Two legendary climate researchers receive this year’s Crafoord Prize

Syukuro Manabe and Susan Solomon have played dominant roles in climate research. They are being rewarded with Sweden’s Crafoord Prize in Geosciences 2018, worth six million kronor, for contributing decisive knowledge to aid in combatting of one of our time’s greatest global challenges.

The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences will award the 2018 Crafoord Prize in Geosciences to:

Syukuro Manabe, Princeton University, USA

and

Susan Salomon, MIT, USA

for fundamental contributions to understanding the role of atmospheric trace gases in Earth’s climate system”.

Atmospheric physicist Syukoro Manabe created the first global climate model after his ground-breaking studies of atmospheric dynamics in the 1960s. In this model, he connected the processes that take place in the atmosphere and at ground level with the oceans’ movements and their thermal balance. This new way of using large-scale numerical modelling to predict how the Earth’s temperature is influenced by atmospheric carbon dioxide levels was a major breakthrough; researchers finally had the powerful tools they required to investigate the Earth’s complex climate systems. The basics of his work remain fundamental to contemporary climate models.

Syukoro Manabe has long been a world-leader in physically based numerical climate modelling and his development of the first global climate model is the foundation for all modern climate research.
Atmospheric chemist Susan Solomon solved the 1980s’ puzzle of the Antarctic ozone hole’s appearance, using theoretical and chemical measurement-focused studies in the Antarctic atmosphere. She examined the ice crystals in the stratospheric clouds that form there every year due to the extreme cold. These ice crystals cause the initiation of chemical processes that differ from those that were previously assumed to occur. On this basis, Susan Solomon presented a theory that explained the link between manmade CFC emissions and the chemical processes taking place in the Antarctic stratosphere in the early spring, ones that led to the extensive depletion of its ozone layer. Her theory was verified by the results of the measurements conducted in the stratosphere. Later, Susan Solomon showed how the thickness of the ozone layer in the southern hemisphere affects atmospheric flows and temperatures all the way down to ground level.

For more than 30 years, Susan Solomon’s studies have been at the absolute frontline of research into the ozone layer and its role in the Earth’s climate systems. The chemical reactions proposed by Susan Solomon are now one of the cornerstones for all modelling of the stratosphere’s chemical composition.

SIPRI Expert on chances and challenges on cooperation of Ice Silk Road

By Xuefei Chen Axelsson

STOCKHOLM, Jan. 11(Greenpost)– Chinese President Xi Jinping has put up forward a proposal about cooperation in Ice Silk Road along arctic routes as the ice in the arctic is melting faster and faster.

Greenpost has a chance to have a  written interview with Ekaterina Klimenko, Researcher and SIPRI expert on Arctic Security. The following is the Q & A.

1.     What are the chances and challenges in the cooperation of this ice Silk Road, or Northern Sea Route for China?

 Traditionally, Russia has been reluctant to allow non-Arctic states to play a strong role in Arctic region, including in economic projects. However, a number of factors have shifted Russia’s policies, among them significant shifts in the world energy markets and sanctions. This allowed for great China’s involvement, first of all, into oil and gas development in the Russia Arctic zone. Moscow and Beijing has significantly expended Chian’s investments in to the joint project on the Yamal peninsular, Yamal LNG.

 The Russian government officials and the President Putin personally have on a number of occasions encourages Asian partners, and China in particular, to look at the Northern Sea Route as a possible alternative shipping route. However, over the last couple years China, and other Asian states, is also seen as investors into the construction of the NSR infrastructure. E.g. in a Joint Statement signed by Chinese Premier Li Keqiang and Russian Prime Minister Medvedev in December 2015, it was highlighted that the two sides would cooperate in developing the NSR into a competitive commercial sea route in the future. On several occasions Dmitry Rogozin, the head of Russia’s State Commission for Arctic Development, has mentioned that Russia and China are discussing cooperation on the NSR.

 Among the major challenges at the moment remains the fact that the Russian Government has still not defined the future of many infrastructure projects along the NSR. It is therefore unclear whether any of the projects will actually be implemented. Thus, despite the evident enthusiasm of Russian officials for fostering Chinese participation in infrastructure projects, this type of cooperation remains ‘on paper’ and does not go further than official statements and signed MOUs.

2.     How will this affect the Arctic countries?

It is too early to say at the moment how Russia China cooperation on the Northern Sea Route would affect the other Arctic states, as there is not much progress with it. I think we will see much more in the next 5-10 years.

 3.     How will it affect the environment?

Expansion of any economic activity in the Arctic brings the risks for environment. Growing shipping along the NSR, especially shipping of hydrocarbons creates significant risks for oil spills.

 4.     How can China participate in projects along the route?

 We have already 2 examples of how China can participate in the projects: the construction of the Belkomur railway and the deep-water harbour in Arkhangelsk. In 2015 Chinese Poly Technologies Inc. signed an agreement to invest in the development of the Belkomur railway and in the future to be responsible for its operation. . The project is believed to have a cost frame of more than 200 billion roubles (€2.67 billion). Poly Technologies has reportedly also expressed an interest in participating in construction of the new deep-water harbour in Arkhangelsk.[1]

I think we will see more of this type of partnerships.

Thank you.
