论“共同道德”对“永恒道德”的批判

道德的社会存在根源和相对独立性,决定了共同道德在一定的条件下是存在的。道德是时代的产物,不存在永恒道德。鼓吹永恒道德的人其实质是历史唯心主义者。共同道德与永恒道德毫无共同之处,其理论基础不同,对群众的指导也不同。认真应对永恒道德对中国的负面影响,应当加强马克思主义理论的学习,重视意识形态领域的斗争;坚决抵制西方永恒道德,主动宣传人类共同道德;批判继承中国传统道德的丰富资源,借鉴吸收人类道德文明的优秀成果;培育社会主义核心价值观自信,促进中国特色社会主义道德建设;用习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想,筑牢应对错误思想的防线。     

Learning By Doing: The Long-Term Impact of Experiential Learning Programs on Student Success

Abstract

As the advisers for the Model United Nations and Judicial Internship programs at our university, we have witnessed first-hand the benefits of simulations and experiential learning. Specifically, students are able to apply knowledge from other classes to real-world situations, all while honing their writing skills and communication skills, as well as their ability to analyze and synthesize information—skills that are critical to success in a wide variety of careers. This practical experience also gives students confidence as they prepare for and make decisions about their future career paths. While we have anecdotal evidence suggesting that these programs contribute to student success, we use survey data from former students to assess formally the longer-term impact of participating in these programs. We find that experiential learning programs contribute to student success by improving time to graduation and increasing the likelihood of attending graduate school or law school and/or finding employment after graduation. In addition, the students’ own assessments indicate that these programs instill numerous practical skills and provide insights that help prepare students for success in their future careers.     

电针内关对心肌缺血大鼠电压门控钾离子通道蛋白的影响

目的研究电针内关穴对心肌缺血大鼠心肌细胞电压门控钾离子通道相关蛋白表达的影响,比较循经取穴与其他取穴方法的差异。方法健康雄性SD大鼠(SPF级)随机分成对照组、模型组、内关组、列缺组、非经非穴组,通过注射盐酸异丙肾上腺素制作动物模型,Western blot检测Kv1.4、Kv4.2、Kv4.3、KCh IP2、Kir2.1、Kir2.2六个指标,观察电针前后各组大鼠心肌细胞电压门控钾离子通道相关蛋白表达量的变化情况。结果与模型组比较,内关组和列缺组蛋白表达量均升高(P<0.05),非经非穴组与模型组之间差异无统计学意义(P>0.05),内关组的蛋白表达量高于列缺组,但低于对照组(P<0.05)。结论电针内关穴和列缺穴均可以提高心肌缺血大鼠心肌细胞电压门控钾离子通道相关蛋白的表达量,且心包经内关穴的针刺效应优于列缺穴。     

中国死刑的未来发展方向

当今社会越来越看重人道主义对现实生活的影响,国际上仍然有很多国家对我国的死刑制度持有质疑与偏见,因此我们必须从社会发展现状中了解死刑的发展,推断出中国死刑的未来发展方向,从而为应对国际舆论压力做好积极准备。     

GC/MS、GC/NPD法检测毛发中的氯胺酮

目的采用液-液萃取、衍生化和GC/MS、GC/NPD方法,进行毛发中氯胺酮定性定量分析。方法选择4-苯基丁胺为内标,毛发样本用NaOH、HCl及芳基硫酸酯酶/β-葡萄糖醛酸酶等3种方式进行水解,再进行衍生化后,采用GC/MS和GC/NPD方法定性定量分析。对不同水解和衍生化条件以及提取溶剂进行比较优化,并考察方法精密度、稳定性和检出限。结果方法的提取回收率大于95%,精密度和样品稳定性良好,日内和日间标准偏差小于6%;采用GC/NPD和GC/MS直接分析毛发中的氯胺酮,检出限为0.2ng/mg和2.0ng/mg,线性范围为10.0～250.0ng/mg,相关系数均大于0.99;采用酰化衍生化后分析,GC/NPD和GC/MS检出限分别提高至0.1ng/mg和0.2ng/mg。结论该方法回收率高、检测限低,可以用于毛发中氯胺酮的定性定量分析检验。     

农村基层组织人员贪污贿赂犯罪立法解释适用问题研究

村民委员会、村党组织、村经济组织的成员和村小组长、村民委员会下设各委员会委员等在农村基层组织中担任一定的职务、履行一定的职责的人都是"村民委员会等农村基层组织人员",其构成贪污贿赂犯罪必然发生在协助人民政府从事行政管理工作的过程中,具有时间性。而对如何认定协助行政管理行为的完成,论文提供了一种路径,即假设不存在村基层组织的协助管理行为,由人民政府直接完成现实中由村基层组织协助完成的行政管理工作,那么在假设条件下,认定人民政府某些具体行政管理工作完成所采用的标准,应适用于村基层组织人员协助管理工作完成的认定。     

Family Relationship Centres: partnerships with Legal Assistance Services

In June 2009, the Commonwealth Attorney General in Australia announced a Family Relationship Centres/ Legal Assistance Partnerships Program, (the “Better Partnerships” program). Its aim was to assist separated or separating families, “by providing access to early and targeted legal information and advice when attending Family Relationship Centres” (McClelland, 2009). After contextualizing this significant shift in policy and practice, the present paper reports on largely positive key results of an evaluation of the program by the Australian Institute of Family Studies. The paper concludes with reflections on future challenges and possibilities regarding ongoing collaboration between Australia's legal and family relationship sectors.     

Curbing Corruption in Public Administration: A Case Study from Italy

The aim of this article is to verify whether the historic sentence, no. 500/1999 of the Italian Legitimacy Court (Corte di Cassazione) in Plenary Session, may have contributed to diminishing bribery in Italy, by increasing the area of liability for both civil servants and the public administration. The empirical analysis is based on a case study conducted in Sicily, in the province of Catania, using a unique data set. The main results of the article are: paying bureaucrats by means of an incentive wage regimes may not be effective in reducing corruption; an extension of the liability rule for the public administration and civil servants may discourage the phenomenon of bribery; and, the perfect specification of property rights helps to reduce corruption.     

How Much Is Really Known About the Meaning of the Term “Conflict of Interest”?

Often codes of ethics require dealing with conflict of interest (CoI) without defining the boundaries of the phenomenon. In this case, CoI recognition is left to the discretion of the individual. The aim of this work is to answer to the following research questions: How much is really known about the meaning of the term CoI? Do individuals share the same CoI definition? In order to address these questions, we use the results of a questionnaire administered to 86 Italian public sector employees during some training courses on conflict of interest and corruption. The choice of this sample is particularly significant in that the Italian regulation provides for all public employees a code of conduct that requests avoiding, or at least disclosing, the CoI without prior definition of the meaning of the term. The results of our analysis show that public employees are uncertain about or come to different considerations of what CoI is and is not; consequently they deal with it in different ways. Thus, codes of conduct and ethics trainers should direct more attention on CoI definition, providing examples to facilitate its identification and resolution.
