Management and safety of a medical mission: occupational hazards of volunteering

Medical aid missions involve travel to conflict or danger zones, posing safety risks in addition to the usual occupational risks arising from daily medical work. The note reports on a volunteer mission, using personal reports, anecdotal experiences, and the formal annual report to undertake an assessment similar to worksite assessments for hazards and control measures. Hazards were found to be prevalent, including physical noise and heat, infectious exposure from patients and local vectors, poor water sanitation, and psychosocial stress from unfamiliar environments and large patient numbers with limited means. Implementable preventative measures include increasing awareness with appropriate protective equipment usage and safety guidelines. Mission planning and management should also involve occupational health input.

集体行动、利益博弈与村庄公共物品供给——岳村公共物品供给困境及其实践逻辑

公共物品供给匮乏是当前村庄发展中所直面的现实问题,成为阻碍新农村建设的基础性因素。但传统政府供给职能的萎缩和市场供给有限形态的存在,使得以“一事一议”为代表的村庄集体供给成为重要补充,然而实践表明村庄公共物品供给依然存在困境。村民个体理性逐渐觉醒,成为村庄公共事务管理主体,开始寻求资源有限背景下的自我利益最大化。通过岳村调查发现,村民理性表现为集体成本分担意愿,并呈现从弱到强的变化态势,集体行动的奥尔森困境则表现为投机行为泛滥、精英剥夺严重、公共选择趋于瘫痪等。重构乡村社会资本、实施“有偿”供给、政府财政介入、构建小集团供给模式成为走出村庄公共物品供给的奥尔森困境的可能选择。     

价值寻求与国际关系学科的发展

在传统国际关系的主流研究中,存在着贬低价值和内含价值追求的矛盾现象.这种现象经常被学者们所提及,但没有能够给出合理的解释.然而这一问题却与国际关系学科的生存和发展密切相关.为了确立国际关系作为一门学科存在的必要性,国际关系学者们接受了休谟问题的基本观点,并把权力置于学科研究的核心地位,从而导致了它对价值问题的逻辑性排斥.然而,随着国际关系中价值追求的拓展,国际关系作为一门学科的独立性又将面临新的严峻挑战.     

毛泽东在哈尔滨

1950年2月27日,毛泽东在结束访问苏联归国途中,抵达哈尔滨视察,这是毛泽东一生当中唯一一次到黑龙江视察。在18个小时的停留中,毛泽东视察了哈尔滨的工厂、市容,还特别为松江省委题词:学习”、奋斗”、不要沾染官僚主义作风”;为哈尔滨市委题词“:发展生产”;为哈尔滨市第二次团代会题词“:学习马列主义”;还为《松江日报》题写了报头。这些题词给松江省、哈尔滨市广大干部群众指明了方向,激励和鞭策着广大党员干部和群众为建设新中国而努力奋斗,并且产生了深远的影响。55年过去了,在开展保持共产党员先进性教育的今天,我们重温题词,更具有…

Normative beliefs about aggression as a mediator of narcissistic exploitativeness and cyberbullying

The current study examined normative beliefs about aggression as a mediator between narcissistic exploitativeness and cyberbullying using two Asian adolescent samples from Singapore and Malaysia. Narcissistic exploitativeness was significantly and positively associated with cyberbullying and normative beliefs about aggression and normative beliefs about aggression were significantly and positively associated with cyberbullying. Normative beliefs about aggression were a significant partial mediator in both samples; these beliefs about aggression served as one possible mechanism of action by which narcissistic exploitativeness could exert its influence on cyberbullying. Findings extended previous empirical research by showing that such beliefs can be the mechanism of action not only in offline but also in online contexts and across cultures. Cyberbullying prevention and intervention efforts should include modification of norms and beliefs supportive of the legitimacy and acceptability of cyberbullying.     

Structuration Theory and Wrongful Imprisonment: From ‘Victimhood’ to ‘Survivorship’?

Building on existing research from a zemiological approach, this article seeks to contribute to a more ontological understanding of the production and reproduction of harms associated with wrongful imprisonment in England and Wales. Drawing from Anthony Giddens’s theory of structuration, it is argued that whilst the harms of wrongful imprisonment are both complex and devastating, victims need not be perceived as entirely passive. Rather, victims of wrongful imprisonment can be viewed as knowledgeable agents with the intrinsic capacity and agency to strategically cope with and even survive the harms that they experience. The article concludes with personal accounts by victims of wrongful imprisonment that form an identifiable ‘survivor’ discourse to highlight some of the key critical factors that are vital in helping victims of wrongful imprisonment to re-structure their lives after release.     

刑事政策走向下我国缓刑制度的完善

在不断坚持宽严相济刑事政策的司法语境下,完善我国的缓刑制度是极为必要的。目前,我国缓刑制度还存在适用形式单一、适用条件难以操作、执行流于形式,监管处于失控状态等不足。完善我国的缓刑制度,应当从缓刑的适用形式、实质条件、适用程序、考察制度、撤销制度等方面入手。
