论我国刑事审判监督程序之改革

刑事诉讼法的修改是当前理论界和实务界关注的热点。作者选取其中的刑事审判监督程序(又称刑事再审程序)作为研究对象,从其存在和改革的必要性、重构的理念以及改革的具体设想三个方面进行了全面、系统的探讨。作者认为,刑事再审程序的存在是符合诉讼规律的,是实现司法公正所必需的;我国刑事再审程序对于实现司法公正和提高效率存在明显的缺陷,需要在更新观念的基础上进行改革。文章指出,现代化的刑事再审程序必须把追求公正、纠正错判和既判力理念、禁止双重危险规则结合起来。作者还就我国刑事再审程序的改革提出了若干建议。

Military Base Closures and the 1996 Congressional Elections

This article examines the extent to which changes in distributional benefits influence congressional election outcomes. Although conventional wisdom holds that a direct link exists between distributional benefits and electoral outcomes (Mayhew 1974b), recent evidence suggests that this link only exists under certain circumstances (Stein and Bickers 1994). In this article, I use 1995 military base closures to test the nature of the relationship. Contrary to recent research on the politics of pork barreling, my findings indicate support for a direct relationship between major base realignments and closures and House electoral outcomes. Specifically, major realignments and closures significantly decreased first‐year Democrats' vote margins in the 1996 House elections.     

Natural Law and the Bhagavad-Gita: The Vedic Concept of Natural Law

Abstract. Western natural law theory emphasises the derivation of principles of right action said to be universal and objective from the application of practical reasonableness to the pursuit of basic human goods that are self‐evident or based on human nature. Critics say its methodology is inherently subjective. In contrast, the Vedic approach to natural law of the Bhagavad‐Gita emphasises the full development of a universal aspect of human nature—consciousness—to promote right action. A healthy person with a developed intellect, clear mind, balanced emotions and full perception is best placed to fulfil his or her society's highest ideals of ethical and lawful conduct. The Vedic approach advocates a supportive social environment and the use of meditation techniques to promote such development. Research has found that the Transcendental Meditation (TM) program promotes improvement in mind, body and behaviour. For example, offenders in Australia, the United States and Senegal practising the technique experienced decreased substance abuse and recidivism and improved wellbeing. From a scientific perspective, TM promotes these improvements by producing a unique psychophysiological state of restful alertness that dissolves stress that blocks the unfoldment of full potential in life.

小学高年级儿童气质对父母教养方式的影响

采用MCYQ儿童气质问卷和EMBU父母教养方式评定问卷调查了80名小学四、五年级学生的气质及其父母的教养方式。结果表明：小学高年级儿童的气质只与父母教养方式的情感温暖、理解，惩罚严厉和拒绝否认三个维度显著相关。儿童气质对父母教养方式的影响存在共性和差异，节律性、适应性和坚持性与父母亲的教养方式都显著相关，而情绪、注意品质和反应阈只和母亲的教养行为显著相关。影响父母教养方式的积极气质因素为节律性强、适应迅速、坚持性强和注意不易分散，消极因素为活动量大、适应缓慢、趋避性为易接近、注意易分散等。难养型和偏难养型儿童，其母亲较少表现情感温暖、理解行为，较多给予惩罚严厉和拒绝否认行为。     

证据的客观真实性质疑

作为社会科学领域的一种认知活动,就其性质而言,证明首先属于人们主观对客观发生的社会事件的一种认识,因此必须遵循认识论的普遍规律。证据其实是承载案件事实信息的载体,证据的本质属性也只能是关联性,具体指关联性中体现出案件事实的信息性。证据的概念过于强调证据的客观真实。应将证据重新定义。证据的证明力在于其能形成相互关联的证明链条。证据可以承载事实的真实信息,也可以承载事实的虚假信息。
