The Teamsters, the White House, the Labor Department

This paper examines the instrumental networks established between organized criminals and national politicians. Its major focus centers on the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, the Department of Labor, and the Reagan Administration. We explore the organized crime influence that affected President Reagan's selection of Raymond Donovan as Secretary of Labor. The choice of Donovan resulted in several related investigations into Donovan's association with organized criminals primarily in the construction industry in New Jersey and New York. We explain and critique the investigations thereby establishing the instrumental quality of the networks and the politics of law enforcement.

价值论视域中的科学主义反思

科学主义迷雾升起于科学绝对化、万能论、人文精神的缺失以及顶礼膜拜的心情。科学具有工具价值、真理价值和道德价值。科学具有科学理念应为科学去魅,赋予科学社会责任和人文精神。     

产业化：侗族文化传承发展的新思路

作为一种朝阳产业，文化产业迅速勃兴，给我们关于文化的传统观念带来巨大冲击，并为传统文化的现代传承提供了新的契机。当前包括侗族民间文化在内的传统文化的传承遭遇到了前所未有的困境，因此借助文化产业的发展来带动传统文化的传承不失为一条新的思路。     

共同非法占有公共财产犯罪的定性辨析

具有不同主体身份的共同犯罪人非法占有公共财产,如何定性处罚,刑法学界长期以来对此问题争论不休,存在分别定罪说、主犯决定说、实行犯决定说、贪污共犯特别规定说及区别对待说等诸多理论观点,至今难有定论。实务部门可遵循的立法和司法解释又存在适用上的歧义。为此,应当以部分犯罪共同说为理论基础,针对不同主体身份的共同犯罪人非法占有公共财产的犯罪定性,确立一个明确而又易于实践操作的判定依据。     

满足欲望,自我选择——西方的"生活方式"女性主义

本文前半部分通过珍爱选择和争取同性恋结婚权的实例,说明西方女性主义在实践中的分野,以及在全球消费大潮中所面临的理论困境。在文章的后半部分,主要谈了生活方式女性主义同消费文化的关系。文章认为,女性主义,无论是西方的或是中国的,如果把着眼点放在个人选择上,就会丧失它和社会历史的相关性,成为中产阶级妇女无病呻吟的场所,如果非要将生活方式的选择说成也是一种政治性的,那么这种政治就是一种消极的政治、一种自恋的政治。作者指出,女性主义不是真理,是对自身所处的某种社会权力结构的反应,常常受主流文化的影响。当前美国正向世界武力地、文化地、经济地推行自身的生活方式,处在这样的历史时期,如何认识西欧和美国的传统价值观,是对全球女性主义的挑战。     

过敏性休克豚鼠血浆咽喉肺组织中P物质的观测

目的探讨过敏性休克法医学鉴定的诊断指标。方法制备豚鼠过敏性休克的动物模型,应用放射免疫法测定其血浆中P物质浓度;免疫组化SABC法和BI-2000图像分析系统对咽喉和肺组织的P物质免疫反应进行染色观测,计算阳性指数(PI)。结果与对照组含量(87．70pg±7．60pg／μl)相比,过敏性休克豚鼠血浆中P物质含量 (131．01pg±18．93pg／μl)增加,其差异具有极显著意义(P<0．01);呼吸道内P物质免疫阳性反应增强,实验组咽喉和肺组织PI值分别为63．59±14．51和55．98±14．8,对照组咽喉和肺组织PI值分别为33．32±8．04和20．51±6．76, 两组差异具有极显著意义(P<0．01)。结论 P物质在过敏性休克豚鼠血浆浓度增加和呼吸系统组织中免疫阳性反应增强,可能有助于过敏性休克的法医病理学诊断。     

Judicial Exceptions to the Free Provision of Services

Abstract: Recent case-law of the Court of Justice on general interest exceptions to the free provision of services has indicated a flexible approach to general interest exceptions involving moral or ethical issues. In contrast, where the general interest exception is relied on in a case which demonstrates predominantly economic issues, it is subject to strict scrutiny, in particular, with reference to the principle of proportionality. The article analyses the Court's case-law and tries to deduce the criteria which now govern the Court's position. It also highlights difficulties which this two-tier approach may excite. The position of the Court of Justice reflects the lack of homogeneous European ethical and moral standards, but it also underlines the predominantly economic character of European integration to date. It is submitted, nevertheless, that divorcing the economic criteria for integration from general ethical considerations will prove an extremely difficult, if not fruitless, task.

Children, women, and substance abuse: a look at recovery in a communal setting

This study explored the sense of community among women (n = 21) and women with children (n = 30) living in Oxford Houses, with emphasis on how the presence of children might affect the household. Sense of community did not vary between participants with more or less than three months residence. Residents reported very high levels of satisfaction with the home, possibly because of a ceiling effect of little room for increases in their sense of community over time. Participants reported that they were getting along with the children in the home, that mothers could count on babysitting help, and that the children had a positive effect on the household and their own recovery process. This effect did not differ between mothers and non-mothers, suggesting that non-mothers might view the children in the home with a sense of responsibility and sensitivity comparable to that of the mothers. Implications are discussed.
