The Diffusion of the Concept of Public Figure in China

This article considers how and why the legal concept of public figure, which holds public figures to a higher standard that makes it more difficult for them to recover damages when suing for libel, has been diffused in China. The public figure concept developed in the U.S. context as an extension of New York Times v. Sullivan from public officials to public figures, reflecting the deeply embedded value of freedom of expression. Despite authoritarianism in China, the concept was adapted in the rulings of some local courts to define the limits of the right to reputation. The diffusion was a response to a stream of litigation against media organizations. In the process of diffusion and adaptation, courts have acted strategically to reshape the public figure concept and refashion its justifications. Given the political constraints on courts in authoritarian China, they have been careful to avoid applying the concept to public officials, and instead have applied the concept to public figures such as celebrities. The diffusion of the concept in China sheds light on theories of legal diffusion more broadly, by illustrating how the process of diffusion can be bottom‐up and open‐ended, and how it can occur even in a counter‐intuitive case in which there are significant political and ideational differences between the two countries.     

An immunohistochemical study of basic fibroblast growth factor in early acute myocardial ischemia

With the use of immunohistochemistry, the expression of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in early acute myocardial ischemia of rats was studied. It was observed that there was an initial (30 min) rise in bFGF expression in limited ischemic myocardium areas and perimyocardial ischemia areas. The grade of expression of bFGF increased with the continuation of ischemia. The results of image analysis and statistical process suggested that the expression of bFGF reach a high level in ischemic myocardial areas after three hour's of ischemia, significantly higher than in control group and in group B1, but no significant difference in pericardial ischemia areas and normal areas of the same group. In summary, early acute myocardial ischemia is accompanied by rapid and prolonged increase in expression of bFGF with characteristic spatial and temporal kinetic. This finding suggests that the immunohistochemical staining of bFGF provide objective morphologic evidence for the diagnosis of early myocardial ischemia.     

Detection of Diatoms by a Combination of Membrane Filtration and Transparentness,

Diagnosis of drowning remains a difficult issue in current forensic sciences. A large number of diatoms were lost by removing the supernatant after centrifugation in the conventional forensic diatom test. We developed a novel membrane filtration method to enrich diatoms from samples. A new solution using different ratios of acetic acid and eugenol is prepared to make the membrane transparent. These processes allow the diatom‐containing membrane to be visualized and identified easily by light microscopy. The tissues contaminated by water rich in diatoms were detected by the new method for the recovery of diatoms. Eleven drowning cases were analyzed by both the new method and the conventional method to compare the sensitivity of both methods. The recovery of the novel diatom test method was 54.2 ± 23.1%. The positive rate of the novel method has been proven to be superior to the conventional method in the diagnosis of drowning.     

提高检察机关普法的实效性研究

党的十八届四中全会提出建立"谁执法谁普法"的普法责任制,并推行法官、检察官、行政执法人员、律师等以案释法制度,对深入推进普法工作、强化全民法治理念提出了更高的要求。基层检察院作为法治中国建设的重要主体,也应积极转变理念,从实践入手,加强普法的实效性研究,参与到全民普法的实践中来。     

试论检察机关涉案财物管理中的问题及出路

涉案财物管理关乎司法公信力,关乎当事人的合法财产权益,关乎"以审判为中心"的诉讼制度改革的推进。涉案财物管理的规范及流转的高效是检察机关规范司法行为的内在要求。从检察机关涉案财物管理的现状来看,仍然存在移送环节缺乏监管、保管环节工作分散、审查处理标准不统一、涉案财物流转不畅等问题,建议确立以移送"作为证据使用的实物"为原则的衔接机制,探索建立专门性涉案财物管理机构,进一步完善检察机关涉案财物程序性处理的内部监督以及实体性处理的外部监督机制,以更好地实现公平正义。     

建设生态文明，实现社会可持续发展

中共十七大报告明确提出“生态文明”的概念,并将生态文明作为全面建设小康社会的一个目标要求。中国进行生态文明建设不仅具有很强的理论依据,而且是解决经济高速增长过程中诸多问题、实现经济社会可持续发展的内在需要。因此,一要加强生态文明教育和宣传,在全社会树立生态文明观念;二要加快转变经济发展方式,加强能源资源节约和生态环境保护;三要完善环保的法律和政策体系,为生态文明建设提供法律和政策保障。     

China's Global Search for Energy Security: cooperation and competition in Asia–Pacific

China has adopted a state-centered approach towards energy security to deepen political and commercial relationships with all energy producing nations and to aggressively invest in oil fields and pipelines around the world. Applying this approach to its relations with its Asia–Pacific neighbors has produced mixed results. While China's energy diplomacy has brought about opportunities for cooperation with some of its neighbors, notably some countries in Central Asia and continental Southeast Asia, it has become a source of conflict with some other neighbors, especially those with border disputes over maritime territories which may have rich natural resources. This paper examines China's state-led search for energy security and its implications for China's relations with Asia–Pacific countries.     

论政党文化的内向性功能

根据政党文化对组织内部建设和对政党组织外部世界发生的不同功能作用,可以将政党文化的功能划分为内向性功能和外向性功能。政党文化的内向性功能是指政党文化对政党组织自身建设和发展所具有的功能作用。由于这种功能作用指向政党组织内部,故而被称为政党文化的内向性功能。政党文化的内向性功能主要包括塑造和培养政治精英、实现组织价值整合、奠定政党建构的思想基础、维持和延续政党生存、影响政党政策、彰显政党形象、规范政党行为等。     

我国高等教育成本核算问题探讨

开展高等教育成本核算,对提高高等教育管理水平、明确学费标准依据具有重要意义.目前,我国的高等教育成本核算存在着制度障碍、政策空白、教育成本核算的会计实务缺乏、成本核算项目不统一等问题.要搞好高等教育成本核算,应按照以下思路:划分教育成本应计入和不应计入的界限;划分应计入本学年教育成本的支出和不应计入本学年教育成本的支出的界限;划分各类学生的费用界限;划分收益性支出和资本性支出的界限.
