Corporate Incubators: Industrial R&D and What Universities can Learn from them

The explosive growth of incubation has seen a concurrent and significant increase in research on and knowledge of the incubation phenomenon. However, instead of comprehensively differentiating between non-profit and for-profit incubators, research has described a whole array of partly overlapping archetypes, thus missing out on important aspects. This article first offers two arguments validating a framework of what non-profit university incubators can learn from for-profit corporate incubators before presenting the framework itself. While corporate incubators are for-profit organizations with which to enhance a corporation’s technology development, university incubators try to leverage technological insights from the university in a similar manner. In accordance with their respective missions, organizational structures, incubator processes and resource flows, it is possible to transfer lessons learned from two corporate incubator archetypes—the fast-profit incubator and leveraging incubator—to the world of university incubator. Our empirical findings are based on in-depth case studies of 25 companies through 52 semi-structured interviews with managers of corporate incubators of large technology-intensive corporations in Europe and the U.S., two EU incubator benchmarking surveys and five interviews with the heads of technology transfer offices of two top technology universities.

基于R软件单组率Meta分析研究9种中医体质的人群分布

目的 对中国人群中医体质类型分布情况进行系统评价,为9种中医体质类型全国常模的建立提供循证医学证据.方法 在中国知网、万方数据知识服务平台、维普网、PubMed数据库、Cochrane数据库中检索9种中医体质类型流行病学调查的文献,采用R软件单组率Meta分析对9种中医体质类型的构成比进行合并,根据构成比的潜在影响因素的Meta回归分析结果进行亚组分析.结果 共纳入19篇文献,总样本量为175331.Meta分析结果显示,平和质、气虚质、阳虚质、阴虚质、痰湿质、湿热质、血瘀质、气郁质、特禀质的构成比分别为0.29(95％CI:0.23～0.36)、0.15(95％CI:0.13～0.18)、0.15(95％CI:0.13～0.18)、0.07(95％CI:0.05～0.10)、0.09(95％CI:0.07～0.12)、0.08(95％CI:0.06～0.10)、0.04(95％CI:0.03～0.05)、0.06(95％CI:0.05～0.08)、0.03(95％CI:0.02～0.04),"男女性别比"是阴虚质构成比的影响因素,"是否兼夹"是阴虚质、痰湿质、湿热质、血瘀质构成比的影响因素,"地区"是平和质、血瘀质、气郁质、特禀质构成比的影响因素.结论 中国人群平和质比例不足1/3,气虚质、阳虚质是最常见的偏颇体质,地域是人群体质的主要影响因素,中医体质类型调查报告有待规范.     

赢家通吃的市场与过度劳动

当前,企业员工超长工作现象普遍存在,尤其是研发人员。究其过劳原因,与赢家通吃的市场不无关系。囚徒困境的分析表明,在赢家通吃的市场,企业必须将员工尤其是研发人员的潜力发挥到极限。而对研发人员来说,赢家通吃的市场激励他们主动超长工作;同时,他们还能从研发工作过程和结果中获得精神满足,因而,研发人员的超长工作带有主动选择的性质。因此,在一个赢家通吃的市场,治理超长工作难度很大,政府通过限制竞争强度可在一定程度上对其加以控制。     

防范网络犯罪:技术与法律的结合

网络犯罪的本质特征在于其信息性。一方面 ,网络犯罪必须依靠信息才能实现 ;另一方面 ,受网络犯罪侵害的直接对象只能是信息。因此 ,防范网络犯罪的关键在于防止信息的误用和滥用。只有技术措施才能有效地防止信息误用和滥用 ,但技术措施又容易受到来自技术的破坏。因此 ,网络犯罪的防范必须将技术措施与法律手段结合起来 :通过技术措施防止信息误用和滥用 ,保障法律的有效实施 ;通过法律手段保护技术措施 ,确保技术措施的有效性。     

网络帮助行为刑法不法归责模式——以功能主义为视角

网络空间中的帮助行为实质不法具有行为对象上的不特定性、行为方式上的非外在可辨别性和侵害结果上的非实体性,网络帮助行为的不法归责模式因此具有独立化的必要。在功能主义的视角下,针对实质不法的特点,网络帮助行为不法归责模式凸显主观不法要素对不法归责范围的厘定效果和客观归责上的功能维护与管道治理的目标。网络帮助行为的不法归责不同于传统的犯罪参与归责模式,刑法对此类行为的规制较共犯归责原则宽松,但也应当对其进行合宪性解释,归责边界应当遵循社会宪治的理念,以社会功能分化的视角构建网络时代公民基本权利保护的刑法解释框架。     

The five‐factor model and safety in the workplace: Investigating the relationships between personality and accident involvement

Two hundred and two undergraduate participants (134 female, 68 male) completed both the Revised NEO Personality Inventory (NEO‐PI‐R) and self‐report measures of prior workplace accident involvement. Significant inverse relationships were found between the factor of Agreeableness and the total reported number of work‐related accidents and between the factor of Conscientiousness and the total reported number of not‐at‐fault work‐related accidents alone, as well as the total reported number of work‐related accidents. Further, regression analyses indicate that both Agreeableness and Conscientiousness factors may be useful for predicting certain types of workplace accidents. Implications and potential future directions for research are discussed.     

从使用武力法看保护的责任理论

保护的责任是21世纪初国际上出现的新理论。将该理论中的军事干涉因素与《联合国宪章》关于使用武力的规定进行比较,观察近10年来国际社会的有关实践,可以认为该理论并未在国际法上改变现行的使用武力法规则,国际社会对该理论中军事干涉问题并未形成共识。现阶段对以军事手段实施保护责任应持谨慎态度。     

Cyber pornography in India and its implication on cyber café operators

Cyber pornography plays an accessory role in negative social issues such as child abuse, violence against women, rape, inequality, relationship and family breakdown, youth crime, promiscuity and sexually transmitted diseases. Cyberspace and the pornographic matter transmitted through it have created challenges for India’s antiquated laws. The lack of jurisdictional boundaries and the sheer volume of traffic that the Internet can handle, as well as the potential for anonymity have resulted in a complete lack of control over what appears on the Web at the click of a mouse button. Before there was no liability of a cyber café owner but with the introduction of the Information Technology Amendment Act, 2008, the responsibilities of Cyber Café owners have only increased. This paper deals with the Cyber pornography, its legal implications and the liability of cyber café owner under the Information Technology Amendment Act, 2008.
