Long-term success in mediation

This article reports the results of a study of the antecedents of long-term success in community mediation. Seventy-three mediation sessions were recorded and content analyzed. The participants were interviewed at two points: immediately after mediation and 4 to 8 months later. No relationship was found between the quality of the agreements—i.e., the extent to which they solved immediate problems- and long-term success as measured by compliance, improved relations between the parties, and the absence of new problems. On the other hand, joint problem solving by the disputants was related to complainant perceptions of improved relations with the other party. Also respondent perceptions that the mediation had been fair and that all the problems had come out were related to all aspects of long-term success in the eyes of the complainant. The latter results support a procedural justice analysis of mediation and underline the importance of mediator attention to the respondent.

On Giving Legal Form Its Due. A Study in Legal Theory

Abstract.  The four theses of this paper are: (1) that an appropriate organizational form is used to design, define, and organize a functional unit of a legal system, (2) that the functional units of a legal system, contrary to the emphasis in Hart and Kelsen, consist of far more than rules, and include institutions, interpretive and other methodologies, sanctions and remedies, and more, (3) that frontal and systematic study of the forms of these units is a major avenue for advancing understanding of them as duly organized wholes, and, (4) that such study reveals that much credit is due these forms, along with complementary material or other components of the units, for values realized through law.

视网膜挫伤后应用ERG客观评定视力的探讨

本文对６０例（６０眼）视网膜挫伤患者进行了ＥＲＧ检查，以其自身健眼为对照，利用双眼对数视力的视力差与双眼ＥＲＧ振幅差、振幅比、矫正振幅差、矫正振幅比作了相关及回归分析，其ｒ值分别为０．８８，０．７６，０．７４，－０．８２，－０．８１，－０．７７，０．８９，－０．９０（Ｐ＜０．０１）。均为统计学高度相关，说明ＥＲＧ可用于视网膜挫伤后的客观视力评定，具有医学及法医学应用价值。
