论吴玉章对抗日民族统一战线的独特贡献

老一辈无产阶级革命家吴玉章为抗日民族统一战线的建立、发展和巩固作出了独特的贡献：全程参与了《八一宣言》的酝酿、起草和讨论,对抗日民族统一战线政策作了大力宣传,为抗日民族统一战线的建立做好了理论准备和舆论宣传;广泛宣传党的抗日民族统一战线政策,利用自己的社会影响,争取和团结了社会各界人士和国民党上层人物,扩大和发展了抗日民族统一战线;猛烈抨击汪精卫之流的汉奸卖国罪行,对蒋介石集团采取了既团结又斗争的方针,及时有效地巩固了抗日民族统一战线。     

法治视野下死刑执行方式的抉择

死刑是一种处罚犯罪人的最高刑罚,我国《刑事诉讼法》第二百一十二条第二款规定：“死刑采用枪决或注射等方式执行。”这样,在我国就出现了两种死刑执行方式并存的局面。然而,这与刑罚的目的、刑法的基本原则以及刑法的谦押精神是相背离的,从死刑执行方式发展的历史上看也是不符合其规律的。因此,将死刑的执行方式统一于注射成为今后我国执行死刑的必然趋势。

论刑事协商在公安机关侦查阶段的适用

刑事协商制度是指以犯罪嫌疑人、被告人认罪为前提,刑事诉讼主体之间通过对话与合作,在充分考虑对方诉求的基础上相互妥协,就刑事案件的程序、实体等问题达成共识,注重对话、合作与互惠,薪非对抗的一种司法制度。刑事协商制度是我国理论界对刑事诉讼制度的一种创新,作为构建和谐社会、贯彻宽严相济州事政策的重要途径和方式,应贯穿于刑事诉讼的整个阶段。可着重从警务衡量制度与警察行为选择方面看刑事协商在公安机关侦查阶段适用的必要性、可行性以及具体操作程序．     

当代青年满意度的初步研究——以陕西青年为例

通过对陕西4567名青年进行16项满意度的问卷调查,结果显示:陕西青年的满意度总体较低,不同区域、性别、学历的青年在满意度的各项指标上存在显著性差异。从区域上看,陕北的青年满意度较高;从性别上看,女性的满意度较高;从学历上看,学历水平的高低与满意度不成正相关。文章根据调查结果提出了思考与建议。

Federal employees dental and vision insurance program. Final rule

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to administer the Federal Employee Dental and Vision Benefits Enhancement Act of 2004, signed into law December 23, 2004. This law establishes dental and vision benefits programs for Federal employees, annuitants, and their eligible family members.     

TRICARE; Reserve and Guard family member benefits. Final rule

This final rule implements sections 704 and 705 of the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005. These provisions apply to eligible family members who become eligible for TRICARE as a result of their Reserve Component (RC) sponsor (including those with delayed effective date orders up to 90 days) being called or ordered to active duty for more than 30 days in support of a federal/contingency operation and choose to participate in TRICARE Standard or Extra, rather than enroll in TRICARE Prime. The first provision gives the Secretary the authority to waive the annual TRICARE Standard (or Extra) deductible, which is set by law (10 U.S.C. 1079(b)) at $150 per individual and $300 per family ($50/$100 for families of members in pay grades E-4 and below). The second provision gives the Secretary the authority to increase TRICARE payments up to 115 percent of the TRICARE maximum allowable charge, less the applicable patient cost share if not previously waived under the first provision, for covered inpatient and outpatient health services received from a provider that does not participate (accept assignment) with TRICARE. These provisions help ensure timely access to health care and maintain clinically appropriate continuity of health care to family members of Reservists and Guardsmen activated in support of a federal/contingency operation; limit the out-of-pocket health care expenses for those family members; and remove potential barriers to health care access by Guard and Reserve families.

Procedures for transportation workplace drug and alcohol testing programs. Final rule

The Department of Transportation is amending certain provisions of its drug and alcohol testing procedures to change instructions to collectors, laboratories, medical review officers, and employers regarding adulterated, substituted, diluted, and invalid urine specimen results. These changes are intended to create consistency with specimen validity requirements established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and to clarify and integrate some measures taken in two of our own Interim Final Rules. This Final Rule makes specimen validity testing mandatory within the regulated transportation industries.
