试议监视居住的废除理由

随着社会变迁,监视居住基本丧失其制度本身赖以生存的前提条件。从理论上看,相关法律法规混淆取保候审与监视居住不同的强制程度,也违反了比例原则。在实践层面,执行监视居住的立法规定欠缺可操作性,警力不足导致监视居在实施中异化,执行的高成本与高风险使监视居住几乎弃用,监视居住实施也往往侵害案外人的权利。鉴于此,监视居住理当废除。     

不断提高反腐倡廉制度执行力的思考

反腐倡廉制度执行力是指反腐倡廉制度执行主体为达到反腐倡廉的目标，通过对各种政策资源的调度、控制和使用，有效地执行反腐倡廉制度的能力和效力。制度的生命力在于执行，提高反腐倡廉制度执行力有重大的理论和现实意义。因此，提高反腐倡廉制度的执行力，就要加大制度的完善和创新力度，着力强化制度宣传教育，强化监督问责，建立领导干部带头执行制度的机制，从严执纪，把提高反腐倡廉制度执行力与廉政文化和执行力文化建设相结合，用科技手段规范操作行为，提高反腐倡廉制度执行主体的能力和素质，建立和完善反腐倡廉制度执行力的长效机制，积极借鉴国外反腐倡廉制度执行力的经验。     

Exploring turnover intent correlated to jail and prison officials: A Taiwanese perspective

Although a review of literature related to turnover intent in the correctional workplace has focused primarily on prison officers, jailers have frequently been overlooked. Specifically, a comparison between jail and prison officers’ perceptions in Taiwan is limited. In order to fill the gap, our study was based on three objectives: (1) surveying Taiwanese correctional officers who experienced the “get-tough-on-crime” policy during the early 2000s, (2) testing for differences in turnover intent between jail and prison officers, and (3) examining personal and workplace environmental factors in order to determine whether distinct turnover intent exists among prison and jail officers. A self-report survey administered to 799 Taiwanese correctional officers (with an adjusted response rate of 89%) demonstrated that jail and prison officers had moderately high levels of turnover intent with no significant difference. When turnover intent correlates were further examined, job dangerousness, organizational harmony, and commitment were significant predictors for both prison and jail officers, thus suggesting that environmental factors have the most robust impact. In terms of personal characteristics, tenure and position were significantly related to prison officers’ turnover intent. Conversely, age represented the significant factor among jail respondents.     

慢性乙醇中毒脑β-淀粉样前体蛋白与外伤性蛛网膜下腔出血死亡的关系

目的观察大鼠慢性乙醇中毒下脑组织轻微伤后β-淀粉样前体蛋白(β-amyloid precursor protein,β-APP)的表达,探讨乙醇中毒与外伤性蛛网膜下腔出血(traumatic subarachnoid haemorrhage,TSAH)死亡的相关性。方法雄性SD大鼠60只,随机分为灌水组、灌水打击组、灌酒组、灌酒打击组。灌酒组以食用酒连续灌胃4周,打击组予脑震荡打击,各组大鼠脑组织行HE、免疫组织化学染色,组织病理图像系统量化分析检测结果。结果灌水组脑无异常;灌水打击组全脑神经元轻度水样变性;灌酒组脑表面可见血管纹理,神经纤维排列稍疏松、间隙增大;灌酒打击组脑表面弥漫性淤血,脑干周围多见厚层斑片状TSAH,轴索不规则断裂。灌酒组额叶、海马、小脑、脑干β-APP IOD值高于灌水打击组及灌酒打击组。结论慢性乙醇中毒脑组织的耐受性明显下降,轻微损伤情况下即可引起致死性TSAH和神经病理学变化。     

The Regulatory Role of Social Policy: Macao's Social Security Development

Central to the regulation theory of social policy is the argument that the welfare state has played a key role in the maintenance of the proper working of capitalism. Starting from the core argument of the theory, this article attempts to demonstrate that the Social Security Fund, a cornerstone of Macao's social security system, achieved three major regulatory functions in relation to the perpetuation of capitalism from the establishment of the fund in 1990 to 2005: legitimisation, reproduction and disciplinisation. There was a watershed year in 2002 in which the predominant regulatory forms displayed a qualitative shift from legitimisation to reproduction and disciplinisation. The shift is explained in terms of different interplays of the political and economic forces within the basic structural constraint of the capitalist social system.     

Dancing with the Wolf: Securitizing China–Taiwan Trade in the ECFA Debate and Beyond

ABSTRACT

Since Ma Ying-Jeou assumed presidency in 2008, he promoted an Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement (ECFA) and Taiwan’s political rapprochement with China. However, the opposition party soon proposed a counter argument, claiming this agreement might produce severe negative consequences for Taiwan’s economy and sovereignty.

This study presents a securitization framework to highlight both the KMT and DPP strategy in contesting the nature of ECFA despite the potential inflation of benefit. It investigates both the KMT and DPP securitization strategies under Taiwan’s political and economic contexts. A de-securitizing discourse, though might have been a convincing counterargument against ECFA, was underdeveloped by the DPP members. It also shows how the debate shapes the discourse in the Sunflower Student Movements in 2014, and led to the DPP’s subsequent change of securitization strategy.     

Feature reviews

China is now the world's second largest oil consuming nation. China's external quest for oil has thus generated much attention and is believed by many to destabilise the world order. This article attempts to provide an overview of China's external initiatives for satisfying domestic oil demands and to examine the implications of China's oil diplomacy on regional and global political stability. The article suggests that China has taken three steps to satisfy its growing domestic demand for oil—expanding overseas oil supplies from the Middle East, diversifying its importing sources by reaching out to Africa, Russia, Central Asia and the Americas, and securing oil transport routes. This article argues that China's oil diplomacy strengthens its ties with oil-producing nations and complicates those with oil-importing nations. Nevertheless, contrary to pessimistic predictions, China's oil diplomacy has neither upset the USA's fundamental policies towards Iraq and Iran, nor has it generated armed clashes in the South China Sea. China has largely accommodated the USA in these areas and has forged joint efforts in energy exploration with its Asian neighbours, except for Japan. China's benign oil diplomacy can be explained by the minor role of oil imports in its energy consumption and, more importantly, by China's peaceful-rise strategy.
