In Defence of Quasi‐Contract

Restitution scholars are almost unanimous in rejecting the term quasi‐contract. This essay challenges this view. It begins by demonstrating that many debates among restitution scholars are in fact debates about the boundaries of consent‐based liability. This serves as an introduction to the main thesis advanced, which is that the idea of quasi‐contract, which is supposed to cover cases in which the parties would have made a contract if conditions allowed them to do so, helps to explain the doctrine better than the conclusory language of unjust enrichment. The essay concludes by situating the argument within the growing literature on the normative foundations of restitution. It argues that quasi‐contractual liability should be understood not as part of unjust enrichment, but as a different basis of liability that can help us see what liability for unjust enrichment might be: liability grounded in notions of fairness.     

Patterns of injuries in domestic violence in a romanian population

In Romania, the quantification of traumatic injuries is achieved in medical- legal services; therefore, each domestic violence (DV) victim needs a medical-legal certificate to prove in a court of law the presence of traumatic injuries. In this study, we aimed to determine the pattern of traumatic injuries in DV. A total of 219 consecutive DV cases were included. For each victim, a detailed medical-legal examination was performed, including specialized consults, if needed. Results were analyzed statistically using the SPSS software. Traumatic injuries in DV cases were usually located in the head, face, and neck areas and had a low severity index. Severe lesions were found in less than 10% and no sexual aggression was found. The severity increases with age and is higher for males than females. The pattern of DV-associated injuries we have encountered is similar to the one found in other similar studies. Knowing this pattern may be useful in clinical practice to detect cases of DV.

The Psychology of Coercion Failure: How Reactance Explains Resistance to Threats

When confronted with coercive threats, targets often stand firm rather than back down. We identify one important yet unrecognized factor that causes actors to resist threats: psychological reactance. Reactance theory explains that when someone perceives a threat to their freedom to make choices, they attempt to restore their autonomy by refusing to capitulate. The result is unwillingness to concede to coercion that extends beyond rational incentives. We test for reactance as a cause of coercion failure with two novel experiments. Each experiment pairs a coercive threat treatment with a matched “natural costs” counterpart that imposes the same choice on the target without intentional action by a coercer. Controlling for prominent alternative explanations, including costs, benefits, power, credibility, and reputation, we find that the targets of threats capitulate less frequently and more often support aggression against their opponents.     

国有土地上房屋征收与补偿若干问题研究

就行政补偿的性质而言,其静态上是行政责任,要求政府依法行政;动态上是具体行政行为,公民可针对该行为提起行政复议或行政诉讼.旧城改造是否属于“公共利益”、被征收房屋的用途应当如何确定、国有土地使用权的补偿标准等是《征收与补偿条例》应进一步予以明确的问题.

工会推动高知群体素质培训的几点思考

高知群体是科研工作中的骨干队伍,也是推动科研改革发展的生力军。但工会现有的培训模式呈现出盲目性、随机性和形式化的特点,主要表现为对培训的重要性和必要性认识不足、制定的培训计划与实际需求脱节和培训内容与形式缺乏创新性,达不到预期效果。工会组织要充分认识对高知群体实施素质培训的必要性,积极探索具有科研院所特色的培训思路、方法和形式,走出一条适合高知群体职业发展的培训之路,创建高层次人才自主培养的新机制,在科技人才的自主培养上有所作为。     

“绿色原则”视阈下预重整制度的功能性建构

《中华人民共和国民法典》规定“绿色原则”的基础含义为环境保护,其深层表达为节约资源和可持续发展。“绿色原则”既促进人与自然的和谐发展,也表达了资源、资本的可持续利用。破产法作为市场经济的重要法律,兼具市场出清和挽救再生的双重功能。其中预重整制度因其有效提高破产重整成功率,挽救债务企业于困境,是“绿色原则”在破产法中张力的重要体现。预重整制度一面可以通过简化程序节约司法资源、社会资源,另一面还可以延续债务人经验、商誉,避免浪费、最大化促进债务人可持续发展。     

从纠偏束权到集成创新:巡视制度的生成机制与演变逻辑

巡视制度是政治监督体系的重要组成部分。针对有限理性下的官员谋利、多重委托-代理关系中的信息级差、层级传递过程中的权威流失等现象,巡视通过制度联动,发挥了纠偏束权功能。党的十八大以来,巡视制度不断创新完善,实现了从纠偏束权到集成创新的范式演变,具体表现为从纠偏威慑到组织权威重塑、从单向问责到双向责任约束、从片状覆盖到网状扩散、从正向过程反馈到逆向结果复查等变化。党内巡视制度的变迁不是一种临时性的替代安排,而是传统巡视方式和新型监督关系的交融,其演变是渐进、长期、全面和深刻的。在全面从严治党的背景下,巡视制度优化了权力监督结构,拓宽了信息渠道,增加了政治信任和政治稳定,在实现巡视与反腐协同联动方面发挥了关键作用。
