Mobilising the Periphery: Brazil's My House My Life Programme and the Homeless Workers' Movement

Brazil's Movimento de Trabalhadores Sem Teto (MTST, Homeless Workers' Movement) has grown dramatically in recent years. This growth was partly provided for by the use of a large government housing programme, Minha Casa Minha Vida (MCMV, My House My Life), which allowed the MTST to construct housing for its members and swell its ranks with thousands of new members. Yet some have argued that the MCMV programme used by the MTST may compromise the autonomy of civil society organisations. This article, by contrast, argues that while the MCMV programme encouraged bureaucratic practices, it also helped to promote the cultural politics of the MTST.     

庄子“达生”之道境

《达生》是庄子对通达人生的思考和探索。庄子建构了“与道为一”的理想人生境界,指引人们通过对“道”的追求,达到人生的顺达和通畅。庄子认为,人生通达要遵循“无为”的自然之道,守住真朴这个生命的根,超越物役物累,保持精神的独立和自由,内外兼养,适而不过。庄子的思考和追求,主要是通过一系列寓言形象予以诗意表达的。

复方守宫散辅助治疗晚期结直肠恶性肿瘤的疗效观察

目的 基于倾向性评分匹配法探讨复方守宫散辅助治疗晚期结直肠恶性肿瘤的疗效。方法 采用倾向性评分匹配法,将匹配成功的70例患者分为对照组（化学治疗）和观察组（复方守宫散联合化学治疗）,每组35例;比较两组患者瘤体客观疗效［客观缓解率（objective response rate,ORR）,疾病控制率（disease control rate,DCR）］、生活质量评分、免疫功能指标、安全性指标,并对生存期进行分析。结果 观察组ORR、DCR优于对照组（P＜0.05）;观察组患者治疗后功能维度（躯体功能、角色功能、情绪功能、认知功能、社会功能）,症状领域（疲劳、疼痛、恶心呕吐）评分改善程度显著优于对照组（P＜0.05）;观察组患者血清CD4+T细胞、CD8+T细胞、自然杀伤细胞水平,CD4+/CD8+均显著高于对照组（P＜0.05）;治疗组患者总不良反应发生率显著低于对照组（P＜0.05）;观察组的中位无进展生存期显著高于对照组（P＜0.05）,中位总生存期高于对照组（P＞0.05）。结论 相较于单纯化学治疗,复方守宫散与化学治疗联合应用能显著提高疗效,增强机体免疫力,改善晚期结直肠癌患者生活质量,降低化学治疗的毒性及不良反应,在一定程度上延长患者生存时间。     

刑罚结构部分调整之理性探索

我国的刑罚结构是典型的重刑结构,最主要的表现是以生命刑和重度自由刑为中心.就目前而言,严格限制以至不适用死刑是我国大致可以接受的废除死刑的方式.对无期徒刑也需做出必要的控制,尤其要注意无期徒刑与有期徒刑的衔接问题.而对短期自由刑改革的最直接有效的方式是将短期自由刑易科为非监禁方式的替代型改革方案.     

太虚“人间佛教”理念的提出及影响

本文认为,太虚提出佛教革命,进而提出人生佛学、人生佛教,再提出人间佛教,可见人间佛教有一个形成、发展的过程。因此,太虚"人间佛教"理念的提出是其佛教改革运动的产物,对佛教的改革运动产生了深远的影响,奠基了后来人间佛教思想的发展与实践。     

社会制度中的良善生活——马克思和杜威的伦理学构架

马克思和杜威的伦理学都强调道德是具体社会制度中的生活形式,这一观点既摆脱为伦理学寻求形而上学根源的困境,又指明了良善生活可能具有的内容。同时,社会制度包容不同的良善生活形式,认可了伦理价值的多元性;社会制度也排斥那些不道德的生活形式,它限定着良善生活的评价标准。     

论人本管理在寿险营销中的应用误区

人本管理，简单地概括就是“以人为本”核心理念在管理实践中的具体应用，其效果体现为内部员工对企业忠诚度的提高和企业外部良好社会形象的塑造。寿险营销无论从管理的形式上还是管理的内容上，都体现了人本管理，但从人性假设与制度基础两个方面来看，目前人本管理在寿险营销中的效果却与人本管理的目标相悖。     

The Past as Prologue in Life Extension

Aging research may significantly lengthen human life spans in the foreseeable future. This paper argues that we do not need to wait until this happens to prepare for the dislocations that may result. Increased longevity over the past century has already raised urgent, unresolved issues of equity, social cohesion, and human dignity. These developments, and our past experiences in dealing with them, provide a basis for revisiting the basic questions raised by all attempts to extend human life: what does life mean, and why is it worth extending?     

Life Extension: Rolling the Technological Dice

The idea of radically extending average human life expectancy is an ancient one, but for most of human history exceedingly utopian. There is now, however, a revival of that idea, with some scientists and others arguing that it is possible and desirable. But the main problem with most of the life extension enthusiasm is that it is based almost entirely on the desire of some individuals to make it happen. The social consequences of success of such a venture are, however, either ignored altogether or dismissed on the grounds that any problems can be dealt with. In the end, none of our present human and social problems would be helped by radically longer lives and no obvious social benefits have been advanced to support it.
