Psychopathy and Female Gender: Phenotypic Expression and Comorbidity; A Study Comparing a Sample of Women Hospitalized in Italy's Maximum Security Facility with Women Who were Criminally Sentenced and Imprisoned,

Various studies have shown that women with psychopathy tend to commit crimes that are less violent than those of psychopathic men. The present study was designed to address the influence of psychopathy on the crimes committed by female offenders. A national sample of female offenders found NGRI or of diminished responsibility and at risk for criminal recidivism (OPG patients) was compared with a sample of female offenders who were convicted and imprisoned. Results of this comparison between the two groups of female offenders indicate that psychopathy is a transversal psychopathological dimension which may or may not be associated with other mental disorders. In both samples, the most commonly reported offenses among women with high PCL‐R scores were minor offenses, not particularly violent, but they appear to be related to typical psychopathic features such as superficial charm, pathological lying, and manipulation.

Intergovernmental Relations in the UK: Time for a Radical Overhaul?

Brexit and the coronavirus pandemic have put relationships between the UK government and its devolved counterparts under growing strain. Tensions generated by both of these developments have exposed the inadequacies of the existing, under-developed system for bringing governments together in the UK. The limitations of the current system include the ad hoc nature of intergovernmental meetings, and their consultative rather than decision-making character. Drawing upon an analysis of how intergovernmental relationships are structured in five other countries, the authors offer a number of suggestions for the reconfiguration of the UK model. They explore different ways of enabling joint decision making by its governments, and argue against the assumption that England can be represented adequately by the UK administration. Without a serious attempt to address this dysfunctional part of the UK’s territorial constitution, there is every prospect that relations between these different governments will continue to deteriorate.     

论两岸经济关系发展的状况、特征和走向

两岸经济关系问题，是两岸关系的重要组成部分和基础。经过近20年的发展，大陆已成为台湾的第一大贸易伙伴和第一大顺差来源地，台商对大陆投资的数量强劲增长，区域相对集中，单体规模加大，增资扩股较多，且由出口加工型向市场占领型拓展，劳动密集型向技术资金密集型拓展，第二产业向一、三产业拓展。两岸产业正由“垂直分工”向“水平分工”转变。究其原因，互补互利是基础，依存依赖是原动力，经济全球化是外在力量，地缘亲缘是人力量。入世后，两岸经济关系将有新的发展，近期而言，两岸贸易和投资将进一步增长，两岸投资将向科技型、服务型、内销型、双向型转变。远期而言，将加快两岸经济一体化的进程，并逐步架构“大中国自由贸易区”。

知识产权制度的进路与出路:知识产权文化——以构建和谐社会为视角

Fundamental principles of the international protection system of intellectual property rights and the applications

Legal principle, which underlies the value of the legal system, is supposed to be the origin and basis of concrete legal rules. It has also resulted from abstracting and summarizing the value and spirit of these legal rules. In light of the universality and hierarchy of legal principle, the principles of the international protection system of intellectual property rights (IPR) can be divided into the following two types: one is the fundamental principles applied to the what, why and how a legal system shall be constructed, such as principles of sovereignty, equality and mutual benefit, joint development, and international cooperation, which also can be expressed as the principles of sovereignty, international coordination and cooperation, fairness and justice. The other type includes those existing in the legal system and capable of being applied directly, such as the principle of national treatment, principle of minimum standard, principle of independence (for industrial property right), principle of independent protection (for copyright), principle of compulsory implementing patent (for patent right) and doctrine of priority (for industrial property right), etc. In my opinion, the principles of the international protection system of IPR shall follow the latter model, indicating that they shall be provided and written in the international conventions on the grounds that they can be applied directly, and that they can be universally applied to the whole international protection system of IPR instead of exclusive application to one certain system. Hereupon, the author believes that principles concerning the international protection system of IPR should include the principles of national treatment, minimum protection standard and public interest.     

将本应履行合同的财产挪作他用的行为是否构成合同诈骗的思考

在实践中,合同诈骗案件经常出现争议。或是公安机关抓了人而检察部门不捕、不诉,或是受害人举报被骗而公安机关不予立案,再是犯罪嫌疑人四处投诉公安机关插手经济纠纷。于是不得不就定性问题逐案开会研究,将大量的精力消耗在对检察院不捕、不诉决定的复议复核上,消耗在对当事人投诉公安机关推诿渎职、插手经济纠纷的解释答复上。其中把本应履行合同的财产挪作他用的案件最为突出。
