Intentional and unintentional injuries across health regions in Alberta, Canada: an implication for policy

The growing practice of including intentional injuries (suicide and interpersonal violence) under the injury control umbrella has produced some controversy. The present study was designed to determine whether or not there might be an empirical basis for this initiative from an ecological point of view by examining the associations among unintentional and intentional injuries across 17 geographically defined health regions. The study was set in the Province of Alberta, Canada, where health services were delivered to a population of 2.96 million persons in 1999 through 17 regional health authorities. The results of a principal components analysis showed that nearly all causes of injury-hospitalization loaded on a single factor. It was not possible to produce separate factors for intentional and unintentional injuries. The strong intercorrelation among all measures suggests that there is an empirical basis for the view that intentional and unintentional injuries belong under the same conceptual umbrella, at least at the ecological level.     

"三个有利于"与"三个代表"

1992年初,邓小平针对改革开放迈不开步子,不敢冯,提出了"三个有利于"的判断标准.今天,江泽民同志针对党的建设又提出了"三个代表"的重要思想.虽然二者论述上有不同的角度和要求,但精神实质是一致的,在理论上和实践上是一致的.同时,"三个代表"的重要思想是实现"三个有利于"的保证.     

新世纪德国移民融入政策及其理念分析

长期以来,德国移民融入政策受制于联邦政府对于移民现状的否定态度,导致移民融入政策缺乏理念指导,融入现状不尽如人意。自20世纪末起,德国政府开始转变移民问题的话语,推行《移民法》框架内的融入课程和实施政治象征性措施,移民融入政策及其理念在建构中逐渐清晰,融入概念中的三种维度也形成了有机的整体。

政府采购方式应强化公开招标的主导地位

公开招标作为政府采购的主要方式,在政府采购法中已经得到了确认,采购人有义务认真遵照执行,政府采购管理机关也要按照政府采购法的规定,通过严格采用公开招标以外的采购方式、增强采购活动的计划性等手段来强化公开招标的主导地位。     

Violent Sex Offenses: How are They Best Measured from Official Records?

In the United States, sexually violent predator (SVP) commitment statutes generally require assessment of an offender's risk of subsequent sexual violence. Current actuarial methods for predicting sexual reoffending were actually designed to predict something else—charges or convictions for offenses deemed sexual based on information obtained from police “rapsheets” alone. This study examined the referral and past offenses of 177 sex offenders. Results showed that police rapsheets (and data based on them) underestimated the number and severity of sexually motivated violent offenses for which sex offenders were actually apprehended. Rapsheet violent offenses seemed a more accurate index of the conduct addressed by SVP legislation than were rapsheet sex offenses. We suggest that, when evaluating sex offenders for SVP status, actuarial instruments designed to predict violent recidivism (as measured by rapsheet violent reoffenses) might be preferable to those designed to predict sexual recidivism (as measured by rapsheet sexual reoffenses).

村党支部与村民选举关系之探讨

村民选举与自治制度是中国政治变革的重要部份,也是最有成效的领域之一.面对村民选举而来的压力与挑战,村党支部通常会采取各种方法来控制村民选举以维系其领导核心之地位.村民选举出来的村委会的确挑战了村党支部的权威,一定程度上重新分配了村级权力,并且推进了党内民主政治的发展,其典型就是"两票制"的出现与广泛的推行.
