我国侦查中的强制到案措施之不足与整合

我国侦查中的强制侦查到案措施包括:拘传、拘留、逮捕,立法的不足在于:第一,没有明确强制到案措施与羁押的分离,混淆了羁押防范措施与强制到案措施之间的关系;第二,拘留所附带的关押期限太长,而使其变成一种准羁押的诉讼防范措施;第三,没有明确公安机关的无证强制到案措施,从而导致本属警察法所规范的留置盘问措施在侦查中滥用。要解决这些问题,必须建立羁押与强制到案措施分离的刑事诉讼强制措施体系,缩短拘留所附带的监禁期限,整合留置盘问与其他强制到案措施之间的关系,在刑事诉讼法中明确将留置盘问作为紧急情形下的侦查强制到案措施。     

温针灸联合臂丛麻醉下肩关节松解术治疗风寒湿阻型肩关节周围炎疗效观察

目的 观察温针灸联合臂丛麻醉下肩关节松解术治疗风寒湿阻型肩关节周围炎的疗效。方法 选取风寒湿阻型肩关节周围炎患者90例，采用随机数字表法将其分为温针灸组、臂丛麻醉下肩关节松解术组（关节松解组）、温针灸联合臂丛麻醉下肩关节松解术组（联合组），每组30例。采用视觉模拟评分法（visual analogue scale, VAS）评价肩关节疼痛程度，采用Constant-Murley肩关节功能量表评价肩关节功能。结果 与治疗前比较，3组患者治疗后VAS评分均显著降低（P<0.05），Constant-Murley评分均显著升高（P<0.05），联合组VAS评分降低值和Constant-Murley评分升高值均显著大于温针灸组和关节松解组（P<0.05）。结论 温针灸联合臂丛麻醉下肩关节松解术治疗风寒湿阻型肩关节周围炎的疗效优于单一治疗方式。     

Bridging the gap: online materials to equip graduate entrants to a law degree with essential subject knowledge and skills

Graduate entrants to law degrees can be disadvantaged by being exempted from Level 4 modules. Many lack the law-specific knowledge and skills that they would have gained from their first-year studies, making it more difficult for them to achieve mastery of higher-level modules. This poses risks to their retention and progression. The Open University Law School sought to bridge this gap by providing optional online “catch-up” materials, including 12 sessions of knowledge-based learning. Each session was followed by a brief Moodle poll so that we could ascertain that session’s fitness for purpose, and which students had studied it. The sessions were highly rated by respondents, and most had been studied in the target time of around 15 minutes. Studying the sessions was statistically associated with academic success. This finding does not prove that the sessions contribute towards student's attaining higher grades, but it is encouraging. Only a small percentage of students studied any sessions, and most of those did not study all of them. Since the sessions met their intended purpose for those who studied them, the Law School has now decided on a range of initiatives designed to increase the number of LLB students who study most of them.     

Unheard Voices: Why Former Child Welfare Workers Left Their Positions

This mixed methods study used a snowball sample (n = 54) to capture retrospective insight from former public child welfare workers about job satisfaction and reasons they left their positions. Responses to open-ended questions suggested a theme of lack of organizational support as the primary reason they left. Former workers also reported that they wanted a voice and someone to hear their concerns, greater recognition, and opportunity to practice self-care. Quantitatively, workers in their positions 8 years or longer were the most satisfied on a 19-item global scale examining job satisfaction. Respondents were unhappy with their workloads and emotional impact of their positions.     

The Search for Job Satisfaction: A Survey of Alabama Policing

This study examines police job satisfaction and its association with general occupational attraction. Police officers from sixteen municipal departments (n = 1,114) across one southern state (Alabama) were found to possess moderate-high overall job satisfaction, with regression analysis supporting the conclusions of prior studies that demographics are of little value to understanding job satisfaction. The findings convey that 25% of job satisfaction variance can be explained from six variables (in order of importance): social contribution, pay, adventure/excitement, autonomy, peer respect, and job security. The importance of benefits and community respect was unsupported, as were partner and special operation assignments. The author concludes that a great portion of police satisfaction hinges on the realization of work environment expectations, and that departments must proactively construct policies to enhance fulfillment of officer aspirations.     

论鉴定留置的若干法律问题

鉴定留置指为鉴定被告心神或者身体状态，而将被告送入医院或者其他适当处所之处分。鉴定留置的存在是与法医学的发展休戚相关。从某种意义上讲，现代去医学发展的不成熟是鉴定留置制度存活的土壤。鉴定留置应定性为一种依附性行为。即依附于强制鉴定，其本身属于调查程序。而非强制处分。鉴定留置属于强制鉴定延伸的自然结果．而强制鉴定将在一定程度上限制被告人的行动自由。应当接受司法审查。强制鉴定作为一种独立的强制措施．对自由的侵犯程度不可与羁押同日而语，甚至其结果可能减轻或者免除被告人的刑事责任。因此在司去审查控制下的鉴定留置期间不应当计入羁押期间。     

Predictors of Early Engagement in Home Visitation

Predictors of engagement in mothers receiving home visitation in the first year of service was examined. Early engagement was studied in three ways: (1) length of time active in the program during the first year of service (duration), (2) number of visits received (quantity), and (3) gaps in service between visits (consistency). Examined visits received in 515 first-time mothers in a Healthy Families America (HFA) program. Parameters of engagement were investigated, and predictors of engagement were identified using demographics and the Kempe Family Stress Inventory. Inclusive of the Assessment Visit, 31.8% of mothers disengaged prior to the first month of service. Remaining active in the program was associated with being Caucasian, and increased parenting risk (mental health/substance abuse history, low social support, increased stress). Most mothers had fewer home visits than prescribed. Gaps in prescribed service were common, with 89.4% of mothers experiencing gaps between visits of 1 month, and dropping to 16.4% having gaps of 2 months. In contrast to findings from clinic-based interventions, early engagement in home visitation is associated with lower levels of functioning and acute needs. These findings add to a growing body of literature suggesting that increased adversity promotes engagement in prevention programs in general, and home visitation programs in particular. To the extent that mothers who are actively engaged in home visitation are likely to have increased psychosocial needs, curricula may require modification and augmentation to address these needs and optimize program effectiveness.     

“直接适用的法“与公共秩序保留制度比较研究

在国际私法中,适用直接适用的法和公共秩序保留制度都可以达到排除外国法,从而维护本国的主权和利益的效果,其中"直接适用的法"作为20世纪中期兴起的一种理论学说,反映了随着国家职能的加强,国家要求进一步加强对政治、经济、生活干预的要求.而传统国际私法中的公共保留制度在近来也发生了变化.作为能够达到同样目的的两种手段,两者之间关系如何?是否具有互换性?本文拟就此问题进行分析阐述,并对公共秩序保留制度中间接限制模式的存在提出新的见解.     

The Cyprus and other EU court rulings on data retention: The Directive as a privacy bomb

This paper discusses the controversy surrounding the Data Retention Directive with an emphasis on the 2011 decision of the Cyprus Supreme Court which has annulled several district court orders that allowed the police access to telecommunications data relating to certain persons relevant to criminal investigations. The annulment has been on the ground that the legal provisions upon which the orders have been issued are unconstitutional. It will suggest that the decision does not entail a direct rejection of the EU Data Retention Directive and that in any event, Cyprus is not a Member State resisting the particular measure. This is because the legal provisions are deemed unconstitutional, though part of the law that has transposed the relevant Directive into national law are provisions that go beyond what the EU legislator intended to regulate through that Directive. Still, the particular Directive sits rather uneasily within the ‘human rights’ regime, in particular the one governing the individual right of privacy.     

Measuring the impact of public perceptions on child welfare workers

The Public Perceptions of Child Welfare Scale measures how the social environment influences child welfare workers, including their job satisfaction and intent to leave. Psychometric studies have validated the scale for private child welfare workers, but there are no validation studies with public agency staff. This study fills that gap, showing stigma and respect are important constructs that also predict worker intent to leave. This research found an additional construct, blame, which was not present in private worker validation studies. The scale provides an important tool for the field as we continue to build evidence for effective recruitment and retention.
