An evaluation of EU regional policy. Do structural actions crowd out public spending?

Motivated by the lack of success of previous studies trying to estimate the impact of the European Cohesion Policy, this paper brings an unexplored issue to light: transfers that are intended to finance public investment in key areas for growth might be crowded-out by subsidized governments to alternative uses. In fact, using annual data from fifteen member countries (1993–2005), we conclude that public investment in the member countries makes up around 60% of the increase in EU funds. The limited role of the European Commission in the allocation of the Funds could partially explain this result.     

大学生拖沓行为与情绪紧张度的关系研究

拖沓行为是经常被人忽视而又常见的一种行为,为了探讨大学生拖沓行为与情绪紧张度的关系,运用唤起性拖延问卷、回避性拖延问卷和情绪紧张度问卷对安徽、河南、湖北的232名大学生进行研究,结果显示:男女性别对拖延影响不显著(P0.05)。唤起性拖延、回避性拖延均与情绪紧张度之间呈显著相关,而回避性拖延与情绪紧张度之间的相关系数稍高。其中,唤起性拖延与情绪紧张度之间的相关系数为0.290(P0.01),回避性拖延与情绪紧张度之间的相关系数为0.356(P0.01)。     

Revisiting Urban Guerrillas: Armed Propaganda and the Insurgency of Uruguay's MLN-Tupamaros, 1969–70

This article studies a singular aspect of the urban insurgency of Uruguay's MLN-Tupamaros: the tactic of armed propaganda. The Tupamaros applied the method mainly at the peak of their existence, in the years 1969–70. Afterward they opted predominantly for others, such as terrorism. By comparing the two periods, I argue that armed propaganda helped the organization to thrive, while the latter was an important cause of its demise. The conclusion suggests that armed propaganda led the Tupamaros to significant accomplishments, but also that switching tactics was a major determinant in their defeat.     

对《婚姻法解释(三)》第7条立法技术的评判——兼议与《婚姻法解释(二)》第22条的衔接

父母为子女所购置的房屋的归属成为离婚双方关注的重点。在保护父母利益之意图下,《婚姻法解释(三)》第7条将"产权登记主体"与"明确表示赠与一方"进行链接。然而该条规定在立法技术方面存在严重的问题,如将规制对象改为"不动产"将造成与《婚姻法解释(二)》第22条衔接困难,"出资"范围不明确造成适用上的困难,"按份共有"不符合我国共有制度以及夫妻财产制度,等等。     

股东直索责任性质的博弈解析

我国《公司法》第20条与第64条对股东直索责任采“连带责任”提法，但对究竞为何种连带责任却语焉不详，由此形成学界争议。直索责任的性质问题在本质上是共同连带责任与主从连带责任的制度抉择，是法律对于选择权的不同配置。在由两种责任方式所构建的不同博弈模型中，可观测到债权人与股东各自如何作出不同的行动决策并进而导致何种结果，从而得出共同连带责任的制度安排更为切合制度目标的结论。     

西部少数民族地区贫困大学生就业状况研究

高等教育的快速发展,使许多偏远贫困地区的少数民族学生走出大山,鲤鱼跃龙门的同时,也使高校出现了一个特殊的贫困生群体。随着绝对数量的逐年增加,这一群体在生活上、心理上的贫困受到关注的同时,就业问题更是关系到方方面面。西部少数民族地区贫困大学生就业有其特殊性和复杂性,处理不好导致的社会影响不可忽视,更需要政府、社会以及学校从多角度出发促进和提高少数民族贫困生的就业能力和就业率。

Axonal injury in young pediatric head trauma: a comparison study of β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP) immunohistochemical staining in traumatic and nontraumatic deaths

We tested the independent utility of β-amyloid precursor protein (β-APP) immunohistochemical staining as evidence of brain trauma in the deaths of young children. Blinded reviewers retrospectively reviewed immunostained brain tissues from homicidal deaths, age-matched control cases without evidence of trauma, as well as cases of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS). The reviewers correctly identified five of the seven cases with documented inflicted head trauma. However, one of seven age-matched control cases and one of 10 SIDS/sudden unexplained death in infancy (SUDI) cases demonstrated staining patterns similar to those seen in cases of inflicted trauma. We discuss these cases and the circumstances surrounding them with the intent to explain the difficulties associated with immunohistological interpretation of axonal injury. Although the utility of β-APP is quite powerful if not confounded by global hypoxic-ischemic injury, ultimately, β-APP studies should be only one piece of information in the determination of cause and manner of death.
