论旅游辅助服务者的法律地位及责任承担

《最高人民法院关于审理旅游纠纷案件适用法律若干问题的规定》就旅游辅助服务者作出了相关规定,对旅游者、旅游经营者和旅游辅助服务者三者之间的法律关系作出了基本界定。在旅游活动中,旅游辅助服务者的法律地位呈现出多元性：既是旅游者与旅游经营者之间旅游合同的实际履行人,也是旅游经营者与旅游辅助服务者之间旅游辅助服务合同的当事人。与其法律地位相适应,在责任承担方面,旅游辅助服务者应当对旅游者承担侵权责任,对旅游经营者承担违约责任。     

Longitudinal statistics on work activity and use of employment supports for new Social Security Disability Insurance beneficiaries

We present longitudinal employment and work-incentive statistics for individuals who began receiving Social Security Disability Insurance (DI) benefits from 1996 through 2006. For the longest-observed cohort, 28 percent returned to work, 6.5 percent had their benefits suspended for work in at least 1 month, and 3.7 percent had their benefits terminated for work. The corresponding percentages are much higher for those who were younger than age 40 when they entered the DI program. Most first suspensions occurred within 5 years after entry. Cross-state variation in outcomes is high, and, to the extent observed, statistics for more recent cohorts are lower.     

“深水大庆”开发与南海整体战略

全球新增油气储量逐渐转向海洋,深水海域已经成为全球油气资源储量接替的主要领域。整个南海的石油地质储量230-300亿吨,天然气资源量为50万亿m3。中国海洋石油总公司"海上大庆"的建成,标志着浅海油气开发成功和中国石油开发进入海洋时代。南海深水油气开发战略和海南国际旅游岛建设战略是国家南海整体战略的重要组成部分。"深水大庆"的开发借力于海南国际旅游岛建设,同时又将大大促进海南省整体资源的深度利用,也将有力提升海南国际旅游岛的建设水准。     

Reciprocal policy diffusion: the regulation of executive compensation in the UK and the US

Because of popular and political pressure, governments have been compelled to regulate ‘excessive’ executive compensation and search both a policy and political solution. In this paper, I seek to establish the mechanisms of policy learning, competition, and emulation by examining American and British regulatory policies of executive compensation that show evidence of reciprocal diffusion, i.e. from the US to the UK and vice versa. The evidence suggests that during the past two decades, the extent of reciprocal policy diffusion varied and was primarily driven by policy learning. Using published government reports, press releases, public hearings, newspaper articles, and interviews, I demonstrate that reciprocal learning occurred because one country's policymakers and practitioners explicitly discussed and/or referred to the practices in the other country when deciding to adopt a specific policy solution to the problem of excessive executive pay. I discuss the implications for the literature on diffusion and point out avenues for future research. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

把握公平与效率的双重价值取向——论我国商标权取得制度的完善

商标权取得制度是商标法的核心,也是解决商标争议的根本依据。我国商标法较多地借鉴了大陆法系国家的商标法,并且具有浓厚的商标行政管理法特色,在商标权取得制度上偏重于商标注册和管理的效率性,较少体现公平,客观上使得商标抢注成风、不公平竞争泛滥、问题商标成灾,最终导致了整体效率的丧失。美国兰哈姆法坚持公平优先,兼顾效率,使两者有机结合、相辅相成,其商标权取得制度建立在使用主义的基础上,并科学地引入了在先申请主义的内容,使其制度设计不断优化,为我国商标法的修改和完善提供了可资借鉴的范本。     

美国“反叛乱”理论的发展及其困境

20世纪中期以后,随着第三世界民族解放运动的勃兴和美国加大在第三世界的政治、军事干涉力度,美国政府日益关注和重视"反叛乱"理论与实践。美国"反叛乱"理论的形成与发展大体经历了三大阶段:肯尼迪时期、里根时期和小布什-奥巴马时期。其中肯尼迪时期强调对所谓"反叛乱"政府的扶持,与苏联争夺对第三世界的政治、军事控制;里根时期的"叛乱"和"反叛乱"被纳入"低强度冲突"理论的框架;小布什时期则是为了应对所谓的伊斯兰圣战主义"全球叛乱"。然而"反叛乱"理论作为美国海外干涉的一种理念依据,总是面临着对外干涉本身所固有的政治、军事和道义困境。     

Preferences for Police Response to Domestic Violence: A Comparison of College Students in Three Chinese Societies

While a large amount of research has been conducted in the West on domestic violence related issues, only a small number of studies have focused specifically on Chinese societies. Using survey data collected from Beijing, Hong Kong, and Taipei, this study compares college students’ preferences for traditional and proactive police intervention into domestic violence and assesses the determinants of such preferences in the three Chinese societies. The findings indicate that Hong Kong students showed the highest level of support for traditional police response, followed by students in Beijing and Taipei, while students in Taipei displayed the strongest preference for proactive police response, followed by students in Hong Kong and Beijing. College students’ preferences for traditional police response were shaped mainly by their locality, whereas their preferences for proactive police intervention were influenced chiefly by their attitudes toward violence and gender roles. Directions for future research are discussed.     

中国汉族人群17个Y-STR基因座突变情况分析

目的 调查分析17个Y-STR基因座等位基因突变的情况.方法 收集中国汉族人群867对父子共1 649份男性血样本.采用YfilerTM复合扩增试剂盒进行17个Y-STR基因座分型,共检测出14 739次等位基因传递,统计各基因座发生等位基因突变的频率.结果 在17个基因座中发现涉及13个基因座共41次突变,其中一步突变40次(97.6％),两步突变1次(2.4％);突变共涉及40对父子,其中39对仅1个基因座发生突变(97.5％),1对同时有2个基因座发生突变(2.5％);平均突变率为2.8×10-3(95％CI 2.0～3.8×10-3).等位基因突变时获得重复单位数19次,丢失重复单位数22次,两者比例接近.结论 中国汉族人群Y-STR基因座突变可涉及多数基因座,突变率在2.8×10-3左右,在数据库的建立与应用中应重视,注意采用相关方法进行甄别.     

法律的深思与道德的拷问——以社会公案对法律思维与方法的挑战为进路

法律和道德是两种不同的规范性命令,过度曝光的案件成为公案后,掺杂了大量的道德评价,影响了法律运作过程的独立性。解决道德无限扩大的影响法律运作的立法、司法等环节,要从立法方法的改变、法律思维的坚守、法律体制外寻求解决方法这三个途径进行。     

西方对中国发展中国家地位的认知

随着中国在国际经济和政治领域地位的凸显,西方开始质疑中国的发展中国家地位。西方这种错误认知的主要原因,一方面是缘于发展中国家概念的模糊与狭义化趋势,另一方面是以此要求中国在国际上承担更多的责任。
