论科学的道德价值

科学在道德方面具有丰富价值，表现为：科学是促进道德完善的内在力量，科学推动着道德观念的进步，现代科学活动愈来愈凸现出集体主义精神，科学具有道德教育功能等。“反科学主义”全盘否定科学的道德价值是偏颇的。探讨科学的道德价值，对于全面认识科学的价值内涵，对于以科学为主导的“知识型”社会的持续健康发展以及中国社会的现代化建设都具有重大的理论和现实意义。     

教育发展研究的回眸与展望

新世纪之始,总结过去,展望未来,无疑是我国教育研究承前启后、继往开来,谋求新突破、新发展的开篇序曲。籍此,我刊本期特约谈松华等教育理论界知名学者就此撰文。他们站在世纪回首与展望的历史高度,从不同方面回溯我国教育研究探索求真之历程,前瞻其未来发展之路向,不乏真知灼见。一定会有助于全面审视我国教育研究与实践已往的成就之处和缺失所在,更好地疏理思绪,准确地把握未来,有助于促动我国教育研究在新世纪之始实现好的开局。本刊将继续关注和推动此方面研究。

美国的特别区治理与公共服务提供

特别区是美国地方政府中一种独特类别,它们为居民提供单一、专门化的公共服务。随着公共事务日益复杂化,特别区逐渐成为美国最普遍的地方政府形态,通过建立特别区来为公众提供公共产品和服务也成为美国地方治理的一个鲜明特色。了解美国特别区的历史演变、特别区公共服务提供的逻辑原理、它们的功能与性质,以及特别区背后的理论争议,对于我国的公共服务提供具有一定的启发性价值。     

Investigation of trace inorganic elements in street doses of heroin

Sixteen trace elements found in 309 street heroin samples, piped water and contaminated water were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. All the street heroin samples were found to contain high levels of sodium, a reflection of the use of sodium bicarbonate during heroin synthesis. Additionally, this element was also found to be one of the potential contaminants acquired from the piped water. Calcium could be derived from lime while iron, aluminum and zinc could have come from the metallic container used in the processing/cutting stage. The levels of these elements remained low in the heroin and it could be due to the dilution effects from the addition of adulterants. Statistical validation was performed with six links of related heroin samples using principal component analysis to find the best pretreatment for sample classification. It was obtained that normalization followed by fourth root showed promising results with 8% errors in the sample clustering. The technique was then applied to the case samples. Finally, the result suggested that the case samples could have originated from at least two major groups respectively showing unique elemental profiles at the street level.     

浅谈侦查理念创新

侦查理念是侦查理论研究和侦查实践活动的指导性观念。侦查理念创新,必须牢固树立科学发展侦查理念、以人为本侦查理念、法治化侦查理念、信息化侦查理念;侦查理念创新,必须坚持与时俱进、立足国情、法律至上、侦查为民的原则。为实现打击犯罪和保障人权,维护社会和谐稳定的目标,阐明了侦查理念创新的社会价值。     

The Rise of Public–Private Partnerships in China: An Effective Financing Approach for Infrastructure Investment?

The rise of public‐private partnerships (PPPs) in China has spurred heated debates about their purpose and effectiveness. This article traces the fluctuation of China's PPPs over several decades and finds that PPPs have played a supplementary role in China's infrastructure investment, as a response to the pressures of fiscal shortfalls and government debts. The resurgence of PPPs in recent years aims to bridge the infrastructure gap and alleviate ballooning local debts. These expectations, however, are hard to realize. China's PPPs mainly involve state‐owned enterprises and place increasing financial burdens on the government. The central government has taken measures to attract private sector investment to mitigate the financial risk, but the prospects for PPPs remain unclear.     

论侵权责任法对调整医患关系的价值

为了改善长久以来医患之间不和谐的关系,侵权责任法确认了医患双方平等的法律地位,确立了过错责任原则为主,过错推定原则为补充的归责原则,明确规定医疗损害赔偿采用普通民事赔偿制度,客观地规定了医疗机构不承担民事赔偿责任的免责事由,充分维护了医患双方的权益,对解决医患纠纷必将起到积极的促进作用。同时也应注意侵权责任法也有不足之处,须有一些配套措施来保证其贯彻与实施。
