新媒体在“太阳花学运”中的动员与支持作用

2014年3月18日,台湾部分反对两岸服务贸易协定的学生占领“立法院”,从而引发震动全岛的“太阳花学运”。学运组织者和参与者广泛利用新媒体传播工具来发布和散播反对意见,建构反服贸集体意识,建立学运动员网络,获取国际支持,筹措行动资源,支持各项行动的组织和管理,对于学运的发动和开展发挥了不可或缺的作用。本文首先阐述新媒体的传播特性及其社会应用,继而着重对新媒体在此次学运过程中的作用和影响进行分析,最后探讨新媒体本身所固有的局限性。     

习惯如何成为习惯法及其方法论意蕴——两种认可说的比较分析

习惯如何成为习惯法的问题必须从界定"习惯"、"习惯法"这对概念入手,而不同的定义将在很大程度上决定人们对该问题的态度或立场。社会认可说与国家认可说是人们在回答上述问题上的两种立场或学说,它们背后各自隐藏着一幅研究者据以解释经验事实的理想图景。其中国家认可说与文化研究中的"大传统"模式、制度研究中的"现代化"范式相互支持,极大地阻碍了习惯法研究。上述讨论启示我们,在习惯法研究中必须确立正确的方法论立场,才能比较客观地还原习惯法的本质和拓展习惯法研究的深度。     

论文化治理的运行逻辑

党的十八届三中全会提出国家治理体系要加强党委领导,发挥政府主导作用,实现对社会的综合治理。这引发了学者对国家治理体系现代化以及治理能力的相关思考。文化作为一种软性的治理手段,虽然并非是现代社会的常规国家治理方式,但却在中西方传统社会至现代社会中发挥着重要的作用。笔者从国家治理中的文化因素入手,考察文化引发治理困境、促进治理转型、达成治理优化的运行逻辑。     

Death Due to Complications of Anhidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia

Ectodermal dysplasia comprises a group of disorders affecting ectodermal tissues. Severity depends on the genetic aberration; hyperpyrexia secondary to absence of sweat glands is a common complication. Treatment is supportive. This case report describes a 1‐month, 27‐day‐old male infant with a diagnosis of X‐linked recessive anhidrotic ectodermal dysplasia. On the day of his death, his mother swaddled him in a blanket and placed him on the couch at 5:30 am. When she picked him up at 8:00 am, he was unresponsive. At the emergency department, his rectal temperature was 40°C. Postmortem blood culture was positive for group B streptococcus, a possible etiology for fever. It is vital to teach parents that close monitoring of children with ectodermal dysplasia is necessary, as an increase in body temperature can become life threatening.     

土地承包经营权的功能转型及权能实现——基于农村社会管理创新的视角

中国现行土地承包经营权制度存在的突出问题是制度功能超载和法律权能缺失并存。相关法律和政策为了同时满足国家、社会、集体和个人等不同利益主体的多样性诉求,赋予了土地承包经营权以政治性、社会性和经济性等涵盖面极为广泛的多种制度功能。不同制度功能所追求的价值目标各异,导致相互之间的结构性冲突难以避免,由此不仅进一步加剧了农村内部的结构性紧张局面,也使得功能超载成为土地承包经营权制度不能承受之重。另一方面,土地承包经营权在实体法、程序法和特别法意义上的具体法律权能缺位严重,对权利主体的保护效能明显不足,反过来又大大制约了其制度功能的有效发挥。变革的目标就是要在纯化土地承包经营权制度功能的同时,最大限度地实现其作为独立物权的各项法律权能,将土地承包经营权真正打造成具有确定法律含义和健全权能体系的民事权利。这种功能转型和权能实现不仅是还原土地承包经营权之独立物权属性的客观基础,也是农村社会管理创新的应有之义。     

公司社会责任及其体系化设计的法学思考——以我国公司法的完善为视角

公司社会责任不能等同于企业社会责任。从法律层面或法学学科方面研究公司社会责任应立足于法律化的公司社会责任。法律化的公司社会责任可划分为广义的公司社会责任和狭义的公司社会责任、公司基本的社会责任和上市公司的社会责任。法律化的公司社会责任应在公司法上实现体系化．即公司法总则设置针对所有公司的社会责任条款,公司法分则设置专门针对上市公司社会责任的条款。     

法律价值再检讨:以自由为视角

通过概念金字塔对法律价值的问题史进行梳理是研究法律价值的传统进路。然而,法律是一种实践性的存在,对法律价值的认识应跳出"主体-客体"的研究范式。对法律价值的检讨可以基于自由要素展开。首先,从个体自由出发检讨个人主义在法律价值问题上从身份到契约的转变过程。其次,追问社会契约论视角下国家共同体建构问题是证明个人自由的实效性,以及检验共同体正当性的可行路径。而法律价值如何涵摄人权价值是探讨个体自由不可或缺的一环。     

Digital humanities and the history of working women: a cascade

In this introduction to the special issue on ‘Women's work in changing labour markets’, we argue that a combination of digital advances, notably the digitization of individual- and contextual-level data, the creation of internationally comparable occupation-based classifications, and the development of statistical models allowing for contextually informed analysis, has brought us to the brink of new developments in the field of women's work. Census and vital registration data contain more information on occupations of women than previously thought, and when used in combination with other digitized sources they allow one to assess the possible under-registration of women's work, as illustrated by some of the contributions to this special issue. Other contributions show how standardizing occupation-based classifications allows for temporal and regional comparisons of women's work and makes it feasible to study how community or regional characteristics influence that work. None of these developments – large-scale digitization of individual-level data, standardization of occupational titles and measures of stratification, and contextually informed analyses – is completely new; in some cases they are actually rooted in a venerable research tradition. However, in combination they might well constitute a cascade in the history of working women.     

The inverse relation between psychopathy and faking good: not response bias,but true variance in psychopathic personality

The possibility to assess psychopathy through self-report is debated, amongst others, because psychopathic individuals may deliberately underreport psychopathic features (fake good). Meta-analytic research has shown an inverse relation between faking good and self-reported psychopathy, possibly indicating that faking good lowered psychopathy scores (response bias). Low faking good scores, could, however, also reflect true variance in psychopathic personality to the extent that it reflects a disregard of social conventions. Through a secondary analysis (n = 675), we show that controlling for faking good significantly weakens, rather than strengthens, the associations between psychopathy scores and antisocial behavior (alcohol and drug abuse, indirect aggression, and delinquency). These findings indicate that the inverse relation between faking good and self-reported psychopathy reflects true variance in psychopathy personality (i.e. low social desirability), not a response bias.
