How we collect and consider evidence of disability. Final rule

We are modifying the requirement to recontact your medical source(s) first when we need to resolve an inconsistency or insufficiency in the evidence he or she provided. Depending on the nature of the inconsistency or insufficiency, there may be other, more appropriate sources from whom we could obtain the information we need. By giving adjudicators more flexibility in determining how best to obtain this information, we will be able to make a determination or decision on disability claims more quickly and efficiently in certain situations. Eventually, our need to recontact your medical source(s) in many situations will be significantly reduced as a result of our efforts to improve the evidence collection process through the increased use of Health Information Technology (HIT).     

Medical devices; immunology and microbiology devices; classification of norovirus serological reagents. Final rule

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is classifying norovirus serological reagents into class II (special controls). The special control that will apply to these devices is the guidance document entitled ``Class II Special Controls Guidance Document: Norovirus Serological Reagents.' The Agency is classifying these devices into class II (special controls) because special controls, in addition to general controls, will provide a reasonable assurance of safety and effectiveness of these devices and there is sufficient information to establish special controls.     

Current good manufacturing practice in manufacturing, processing, packing, or holding of drugs; revision of certain labeling controls. Final rule

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is amending the packaging and labeling control provisions of the current good manufacturing practice (CGMP) regulations for human and veterinary drug products by limiting the application of special control procedures for the use of cut labeling to immediate container labels, individual unit cartons, or multiunit cartons containing immediate containers that are not packaged in individual unit cartons. FDA is also permitting the use of any automated technique, including differentiation by labeling size and shape, that physically prevents incorrect labeling from being processed by labeling and packaging equipment when cut labeling is used. This action is intended to protect consumers from labeling errors more likely to cause adverse health consequences, while eliminating the regulatory burden of applying the rule to labeling unlikely to reach or adversely affect consumers. This action is also intended to permit manufacturers to use a broader range of error prevention and labeling control techniques than permitted by current CGMPs.     

任务型组织的动态能力建构

在社会复杂性和不确定性迅速增长的时代,考察组织相对于环境变动的动态能力显得尤其重要。在组织能力的问题上,常规组织往往着重于组织的静态能力建设,而对其动态能力则很少给予关注。与常规组织不同,任务型组织要求发展出一种动态能力。这种动态能力虽然表现为一种与环境相适应的能力,而实际上则是一种更快更好地完成任务的能力。     

社会转型期利益群体与中国地方政府善治

社会利益分化和利益结构重构成为社会转型时期最重要、最深刻的变化。越来越多的利益群体对地方政府决策和公共政策产生着重要的影响,并已经成为影响地方政府善治的一个不可回避的现实问题。本文分析了社会转型时期利益群体的重要特点、利益群体对地方政府善治的积极与消极的双重意义,并提出了解决问题的途径与措施。     

穿袜粉尘足迹检验中的形态变异问题

静电吸附方法提取穿袜粉尘足迹时,由于受到袜子对粉尘的缓冲和静电场强度影响而出现形态变异问题,造成特征不符的假象而干扰正确的检验结果,提请在足迹检验操作时引起注意.     

社会正义与制度建设

正义是社会制度的首要价值。然而,中国当代的正义存在一些缺损问题,即正义取向出现了偏差,形式正义与实质正义、算术正义与比例正义、交换正义与分配正义等正义形式出现了缺损。本文提出通过加强制度建设来改善正义缺损问题的现状,因为制度最基本、最重要的功能就是保障社会的公平正义。     

网络参与下的政府行为选择

网络参与具有技术性与政治性、普遍性与特殊性、间接性与直接性、有序性与无序性等多向度、双重性的特点。这些特点的交织,决定了网络政治参与既可能有利于推进民主政治发展的进程,又可能使政府行政陷入困境。因此,担当公共责任、增强回应能力、引导有序参与,是我国政府的必然选择。     

基本公共服务均等化视阈下的政府间转移支付制度——从法治视角的分析

政府间转移支付制度是实现基本公共服务均等化的重要途径。从促进基本公共服务均等化的目标来看,政府间转移支付制度需要实现从政治模式向法治模式的转变。本文从基本公共服务均等化与政府间转移支付制度的关系入手,分析了政府间转移支付的传统运作模式及其不足,并从法治的视角提出了政府间转移支付制度的发展方向。     

房山区垃圾"瘦身"从厨余开始

北京市垃圾分类、垃圾减量工作启动以来,房山区委、区政府高度重视,建立了"政府主导--专业管理--属地负责--社区(村庄)发动--居民参与"的垃圾分类模式,在全市率先提出建立垃圾分类指导员队伍,先行成功后得到全面推广.为了进一步提高垃圾减量,垃圾无害化工作水平,探索更加有效、科学的垃圾分类处理模式,房山区把厨余垃圾的生化处理作为突破口,投资350万元,引进厨余垃圾微生物处理机,在分类试点地区附近投资建设了良乡餐厨垃圾处理站.
