The rate and kinetic order of ethanol elimination

The rate and kinetic order of ethanol elimination was evaluated in human volunteers. Part I of the study involved dosing individuals with alcoholic beverages on two separate occasions. Breathalyzer tests were performed at 15-min intervals for a period of 5 h. Attention was focused on values obtained after peak blood ethanol levels had been reached. The second part of the study included having samples drawn from alcoholics at predetermined intervals during recovery from alcoholic intoxication. Blood ethanol concentration data was analyzed for kinetic order and a comparison of ethanol elimination rates of alcoholics and non-alcoholics was made. The predicative capability of estimating a BAC from both the zero and first order theories was also investigated.It was concluded that ethanol elimination is a zero order process. For subjects classified as non-drinkers (consume less than 6 ounces of ethanol/month), the mean ethanol elimination rate as determined in the study was 12 ± 4 mg/h. For subjects classified as social drinkers (consume more than 6 ounces but less than 30 ounces of ethanol/month), the mean ethanol elimination rate was 15 ± 4 mg%/h, and for alcoholics, the mean ethanol elimination rate was 30 ± 9 mg%/h. These results indicate that the rate of ethanol elimination increases with drinking experience.     

浅析宽容思想对刑事政策的影响

论“零容忍”在预防、打击黑社会性质组织犯罪中的应用

"零容忍"政策最初在纽约实行,用来控制纽约街头违法行为。其核心在于对各种反社会的行为给予严厉的打击,即便是轻微的违法行为也要毫不留情的与之斗争。联系我国当前情况,黑社会性质组织犯罪逐渐抬头且有愈演愈烈之势,对于此类犯罪应在其形成的初始阶段就及时予以打击。公安机关应采取主动出警模式,预防为主,打防结合,严厉惩治黑社会性质有组织犯罪。     

宽容与平衡:中国刑法现代化的伦理思考

作为自然属性与社会属性的统一,人性不仅是人类道德的基础,也是刑法现代化所必须具备的伦理精神。以宽容的眼光看待人性,不仅要尊重人性中利他的欲望,而且要容忍人性中利己的要求,这是人类道德的基础,也是刑法现代化所必须具备的伦理精神。而正是中国刑法人性基础的薄弱乃至于人性宽容精神的缺位,引发了中国刑法的道德化危机,并导致了中国刑法在立法制度安排、司法实务适用和刑法理论研究中的一系列误区,因而需要以利益平衡为原则,培育中国刑法的现代伦理品格。

Discourse Ethics and the Normative Justification of Tolerance

Abstract

The following paper considers the extent to which discourse ethics can adequately respond to Habermas' own call for normative justification for the expectation of tolerance. It concludes that discourse ethics is able to lend its services to the flagging fortunes of the idea of toleration, not by seeking to underscore this idea with rationally compelling argumentation, but by offering insights into the possibilities opened up to a life which accepts this principle.
