析二十一世纪加拿大侵权法

2 0世纪至 2 1世纪 ,加拿大侵权法发生了根本性的变化。过失侵权理论在侵权法中逐渐占据中心地位 ,围绕着过失侵权责任的建立、过失侵权责任的扩展、侵权规则的一般化和融合、侵权法的赔偿及损失分配政策的演变 ,以及其他法律的和非法律的可选择机制对侵权法的削弱等问题 ,百年来加拿大侵权法确立了过失侵权责任为主线的侵权法模式。     

公共政策变迁的过程理论及其阐释

公共政策变迁是人类社会基本的正式制度变迁模式,是围绕集体行动而开展的自发的或通过人为安排的秩序演进过程。政策变迁除了呈现为政策时滞、政策博弈、政策演进三个结构性逻辑外,还表现为政策失效、政策创新、政策均衡三个阶段性逻辑。任何一项公共政策的变迁都可能无法回避均衡—失效—创新—均衡这种方程式循环。因此,研究公共政策变迁的过程理论对于理解和掌握政策变迁的内在规律具有重要的理论意义和应用价值。     

The Implications of Taiwan's Declining Defense

Taiwan's declining defense capability has increasingly tilted the balance of power in the Taiwan Strait towards China. While the current status quo suits Taiwan's domestic political realities and postpones the Taiwan question to the future, its declining defense capabilities vis-à-vis China hold important implications for Taiwan. They include the reduction of its political bargaining power with China, the undermining of stability in the Taiwan Strait as China increasingly has a viable military option, and ultimately decreases the probability that the status quo can be maintained. Left unattended, Taiwan's declining defense capabilities narrow Taiwan's options and could lead to unpalatable outcomes, including sudden crisis and conflict, and the ultimate resolution of the Taiwan problem on China's terms.     

浅谈侦查理念创新

侦查理念是侦查理论研究和侦查实践活动的指导性观念。侦查理念创新,必须牢固树立科学发展侦查理念、以人为本侦查理念、法治化侦查理念、信息化侦查理念;侦查理念创新,必须坚持与时俱进、立足国情、法律至上、侦查为民的原则。为实现打击犯罪和保障人权,维护社会和谐稳定的目标,阐明了侦查理念创新的社会价值。     

论科学的道德价值

科学在道德方面具有丰富价值,表现为：科学是促进道德完善的内在力量,科学推动着道德观念的进步,现代科学活动愈来愈凸现出集体主义精神,科学具有道德教育功能等。“反科学主义”全盘否定科学的道德价值是偏颇的。探讨科学的道德价值,对于全面认识科学的价值内涵,对于以科学为主导的“知识型”社会的持续健康发展以及中国社会的现代化建设都具有重大的理论和现实意义。

Investigation of trace inorganic elements in street doses of heroin

Sixteen trace elements found in 309 street heroin samples, piped water and contaminated water were determined using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry. All the street heroin samples were found to contain high levels of sodium, a reflection of the use of sodium bicarbonate during heroin synthesis. Additionally, this element was also found to be one of the potential contaminants acquired from the piped water. Calcium could be derived from lime while iron, aluminum and zinc could have come from the metallic container used in the processing/cutting stage. The levels of these elements remained low in the heroin and it could be due to the dilution effects from the addition of adulterants. Statistical validation was performed with six links of related heroin samples using principal component analysis to find the best pretreatment for sample classification. It was obtained that normalization followed by fourth root showed promising results with 8% errors in the sample clustering. The technique was then applied to the case samples. Finally, the result suggested that the case samples could have originated from at least two major groups respectively showing unique elemental profiles at the street level.     

The Rise of Public–Private Partnerships in China: An Effective Financing Approach for Infrastructure Investment?

The rise of public‐private partnerships (PPPs) in China has spurred heated debates about their purpose and effectiveness. This article traces the fluctuation of China's PPPs over several decades and finds that PPPs have played a supplementary role in China's infrastructure investment, as a response to the pressures of fiscal shortfalls and government debts. The resurgence of PPPs in recent years aims to bridge the infrastructure gap and alleviate ballooning local debts. These expectations, however, are hard to realize. China's PPPs mainly involve state‐owned enterprises and place increasing financial burdens on the government. The central government has taken measures to attract private sector investment to mitigate the financial risk, but the prospects for PPPs remain unclear.
