SUPRANATIONAL GOVERNANCE OR NATIONAL BUSINESS‐AS‐USUAL? THE NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION OF EU STRUCTURAL FUNDS IN THE NETHERLANDS AND DENMARK

The partnership principle in EU cohesion policy was introduced in order to involve subnational authorities and interest organizations in policy formulation and implementation. In this article we examine how the member states have reacted to this call for a new way of making public policy. We argue that the multi‐level governance literature and the critics of the multi‐level governance framework have not examined implementation structures properly, but have focused on regional influence. We conduct a comparative analysis of the Dutch and Danish implementations of the European Social Fund and the European Regional Development Fund. Our findings show that when examining implementation structures it becomes clear that member states are in full control of the re‐allocation of EU funds. They show that Denmark and The Netherlands have been able to absorb EU cohesion policy within already existing national implementation structures of labour market policies and regional development. One central theoretical implication of our study is that the focus of studies of any fundamental re‐allocation of power resources in cohesion studies should comprise the entire network of implementation rather than the strategies of its individual component actors.     

细菌分型的分子生物学技术研究进展

回顾了传统细菌分型方法的重要作用,并重点介绍了近年发展得比较成熟的脉冲凝胶电泳(PF-GE)、低频限制性切割位点聚合酶链式反应(IRS-PCR)、随意扩增多态性DNA(RAPD)、扩增片段长度多态性(AFLP)、多位点酶电泳(MLEE)和多位点测序分型(MLST)等6种用于细菌分型的分子生物学技术的原理、特点以及应用情况,指出了其他细菌分型技术,如ARDRA、SSCP、DGGE、TGGEI、S等的不足,对基因芯片技术和实时PCR在细菌分型上的应用潜力进行了展望。     

物权变动过程的重构

本文从法律体系的逻辑严密性和现实的价值判断的双重目标出发,重新构造了物权变动的模式。认为物权变动过程是一个有机的过程,除承认区分原则外,还要承认物权合意的客观存在,物权合意以债权行为为基础,切充斥于整个物权变动过程。又从微观的角度以无权处分、所有权保留、不当得利为视角,分析了新型物权变动模式的价值判断。     

妇联承担政府职能的优势与阻力研究

文章分析了在政府职能转变的过程中,妇联作为党和政府联系妇女群众的桥梁和纽带,对于承接政府转移出的部分公共管理和公共服务职能具有的优势和阻力。其优势为:组织网络健全、与妇女有天然联系、在坚持党的领导下积累了丰富的工作经验、培养了一支专业研究队伍;阻力为:政府没有专门的常设妇女工作机构、人民团体“上宽下窄”的组织结构和多样性社团发展不成熟影响政府职能的转变。文章还对妇联在承接政府职能过程中如何防止行政化倾向进行了分析。     

对暗示的心理学分析

暗示是一种社会心理现象,外来影响空间的存在以及易受暗示的机会,还有受暗示者的自卑综合在一起,暗示就容易成功。暗示在日常生活中发挥着巨大的作用,不但能影响人的心理与行为,还能影响到人体的生理机能,科学分析和合理利用暗示具有非常重要的意义。     

Spatial variation of refractive index in a pane of float glass.

In the statistical interpretation of forensic glass evidence it is standard practice to make the assumption of homogeneity of the refractive index (RI) of the source glass, or of localized homogeneity. However, the work of Locke and Hayes showed that, for toughened windscreen glass, this assumption might not be true. This work is well cited, but there appears to have been little follow-on published research. Furthermore, the toughening process is something known to affect the refractive index, and is a process that float glass does not undergo. Float glass is a major component of casework in New Zealand and for that reason it would be interesting to know whether the findings of Locke and Hayes apply when dealing with float glass. In this paper we describe an experiment similar to that of Locke and Hayes, systematically examining the variation of RI in a pane of float window glass. It was found that, although there were no systematic differences in refractive index, there were observable differences across the pane.     

THE EFFECT OF GENDER ON THE DECISION TO INCARCERATE BEFORE AND AFTER THE INTRODUCTION OF SENTENCING GUIDELINES*

The present study explores the relationships between gender and imprisonment decisions in Minnesota before and after the introduction of sentencing guidelines. Results from a series of logistic regression models indicate that gender alone did not have a significant impact on the likelihood of imprisonment, but women with dependent children were significantly less likely to be imprisoned before sentencing guidelines and in the years subsequent to their implementation. The findings suggest that despite the introduction of sentencing reforms, court officials tend to return to issues of substantive justice, and they appear unable to shed their individual or organizational ideas of fairness in sentencing.     

Sudden death in angiodysplasia of the gastroesophageal junction.

A 22-year-old Korean soldier, who had received blows to the neck and epigastrium from an officer 10 h earlier, suddenly died after massive hematemesis. He had been in relatively good health except for episodes of blood-tinged vomiting approximately 5 and 7 months prior to this event. Postmortem examination revealed angiodysplasia involving the gastroesophageal junction, and the stomach was distended with blood. No abnormal findings were present around the whole viscera, and the duodenum was free of blood. The pathologic significance of upper gastrointestinal angiodysplasia as a potential source of bleeding and a chronologic correlation between the trauma and bleeding are discussed.
