Assignment of paternity in a judicial dispute between two neighbor Holstein dairy farmers

DNA profiling was used as evidence to assign paternity in a dispute between two neighbors in a judicial case of undue appropriation of cattle offspring from five alleged Holstein sires. Five offspring were genotyped using ten genetic markers (nine microsatellites and the BOLA-DRB3 locus). The computer program CERVUS was used to estimate the LOD score values and the confidence of paternity assignments. The results presented here show that three out of five paternity cases were assigned at 95% of confidence to a single sire with a LOD score ranging from 2.53 to 3.55. A fourth male was assigned using its delta value. Finally, all alleged sires were excluded from the paternity of the fifth offspring, probably due to the existence of an non-sampled male in the studied population. We concluded that the likelihood-based approach, included into CERVUS program, was a powerful tool in cattle kinship analysis when dealing with judicial dispute particularly when the dam's genotype was absent, allowing the assignments of paternity at 95% level of confidence in situations usually used by dairy and beef cattle producers in Argentine (e.g., multi-sire pasture mating).     

东北老工业基地城市社区社会资本的缺失与重建——来自长春市两个典型社区的经验与启示

对长春市崇智社区和东站十委这两个典型社区的深度解读,透视了基层政府、社区居委会、非政府组织和居民在社会资本生产中的地位.作为衡量单位制解体后社区公共空间和谐程度的重要指标,社会资本存量需要通过组织行动和制度建构的途径进行重建,不仅要发挥居委会的主导作用.重新定位居委会的服务职能和管理理念;深入推进国企改制战略,加快"去单位化"步伐,还要增强社区的福利分配功能,从而强化居民与社区的利益关联;大力培育社区非政府组织,激活并利用"讲人情、重情义"的传统文化资源.     

试论我国未来劳动合同法中缔约过失责任制度的构建——兼评《劳动合同法(草案)》相关条款

当前,构建劳动缔约过失责任制度很有现实必要性。鉴于劳动合同与民事合同之间的差异,在我国未来劳动合同法中缔约过失责任制度的构建中,不能将《合同法》中关于缔约过失责任的相关规定照搬过来,劳动合同缔约过失责任中的主体、适用范围、归则原则、赔偿范围及责任承担方均有其特殊性。     

Historical constraints to privatization: The case of the nationalized chilean copper industry

The military regime that came to power in 1973 made no attempt to hide its intentions to drastically restructure the state. Because of Chile’s historical economic dependence on its copper industry, which had been nationalized at high political and economic cost, many feared that the nationalization process would be reverted and that the gains won against dependency would be lost. The article examines why the efforts to privatize the Chilean National Copper Corporation (CODELCO) were not successful. This failure must be attributed to the country’s long experience with external economic dependence, which produced a deep-seated national awareness of the drawbacks of foreign control, and to the benefits that the industry brings to powerful groups in the regime, above all the Chilean Army.     

高职院校应用文写作课职业化教学探讨

应用文写作能力是职业工作能力的重要组成部分。高职院校开设应用文写作课,是为培养学生形成职业工作能力服务的。为了避免因教学内容的泛化而导致的职业特征淡化,有必要对现行的教学内容和教学方法进行改革。改革的思路是:(1)从"专用"与"通用"的角度划定教学内容;(2)以"实用"与"够用"为出发点制定教学原则;(3)以"写作技术"作为新的教学平台;(4)教学方法上提倡"问题式教学",注重思维与操作的衔接;(5)教学效果的评定应以职业工作中必需的写作能力为主要标准。     

解读国资委"管人"职责

国资委的出现意味着我国国有资产管理体制的重大变革.在"管资产和管人、管事相结合"原则指导下的国资委肩负重任."管人"是该原则的核心所在,"管资产"、"管事"都是通过"管人"来实现的.但国资委如何行使"管人"职责使其在监管国有资产运营时既到位又不越位是值得深思的问题.本文拟从国资委"管人"职责定位出发,在分析借鉴国际经验的基础上对国资委的"管人"职责提出了几点参考性建议.
