Hedonic Estimation and Policy Significance of the Impact of HOPE VI on Neighborhood Property Values

HOPE VI was designed as a program to revitalize distressed public housing. This study uses hedonic methods to test whether projects that are rebuilt with HOPE VI funds have a positive effect on surrounding property values. Comparisons are made between HOPE VI and other types of public housing programs using data on property values by census block groups from the 2000 census. We find that HOPE VI had a statistically significant positive impact on surrounding property values on the order of 8–10% for every quarter‐mile closer that a housing unit was located to the development. Other public housing developments were found to have little if any effect on property values.     

社会公正的经济、道德和政治之维--当代社会公正问题的三个研究路径

社会公正理论的研究是一个综合性、多学科相融合的研究。道德、经济和政治分别代表了三个相互独立而又相互依赖的研究路径,三者分别体现了公平、效率和整合性的功能。     

司法鉴定若干问题探析

司法鉴定的内涵应界定为:具有法定鉴定资格的人,受司法机关指派或委托, 对诉讼活动中与案件有关的专门技术问题进行审查鉴别、作出科学判断的活动。目前,我国司 法鉴定人制度还需要完善,司法鉴定体制需要从调整公安、检察机关内设鉴定机构,撤消法院 内部鉴定机构,确定鉴定标准和规则,建立鉴定质量保证体系等方面进行改革。     

“王朝案”中的证据法难题及其破解

"王朝案"的发生引发了三个证据法上的疑难问题:一是证据的合法性问题,主要涉及侦查人员无管辖权取证的效力问题;二是瑕疵证据的补正和合理解释"度"问题;三是证据采信的公正性问题,尤其是特殊侦查措施所获证据应否公开质证的问题。从证据法理上讲,侦查机关虽然违反管辖权而取证,但若并未侵犯被追诉人公正审判权,所获证据自无排除之必要;瑕疵证据的补正或合理解释"度",以确证瑕疵证据的客观性和真实性为已足;特殊侦查措施所获的证据材料,虽然可以不向公众公开,即实行不公开审理,但却必须向辩方公开特殊侦查的结果,并允许辩护人参与该证据的质证过程。     

论“本质错误”——以罗马法为中心

在罗马法中,本质错误与身份错误、行为性质的错误、标的物错误并称为使行为无效的四种实质性错误。本质错误与材料错误相关又不等同于材料错误。本质错误的内涵见于D.18,1,9,2中的"醋为酒卖"案,是在社会经济功能影响下的标的物之内在特性发生错误。本质错误的外延见于"古杯"案及D.18,1,11、D.18,1,14等文本,涵涉了大部分的材料错误和性别错误,并可以作为一种兜底条款适用于那些对诸如艺术品价值、作者发生错误的情形。本质错误在近代演化为法国法的"实质错误"、意大利法的"本质上的错误"、瑞士法的"重大错误"、德国法和我国台湾地区法的"性质错误",在赋予法官自由裁量权的功能上,它们和中国大陆民法的错误制度殊途同归。     

涉黑涉恶案件审判警务保障风险解析与防控

涉黑涉恶案件审判的特殊性决定了司法警察警务保障风险表现为:未能将被告人安全、及时押解至法院,未能对羁押待审被告人实施有效看守、管理,未能保障法庭的正常审判秩序和人员安全,未能规范执行警务。为减少涉黑涉恶案件审判警务保障风险,司法警察应树立预防为主、艺术决策、多举并进、以警为本的防控理念,并加强远程押解、院外审判看管和值庭、规范化执法风险的防控措施。     

Canadian public service employee satisfaction and its main drivers

Using the results of the 2005 Public Service Employee Survey (PSES), this paper identifies which factors have the greatest effect on employee satisfaction in the Canadian public service. Several hypotheses are tested against the backdrop of existing literature. In general, public servant satisfaction is affected by belief in opportunities for promotion, fair classification, adherence to client service standards, life balance, recognition by immediate supervisors, team relationships with colleagues, how well information is shared and, finally, belief in the abilities of senior management. Some interesting elaborations of these basic findings emerge when other variables are controlled. The discussion considers how the public service can be seen as a more desirable career choice.     

山茱萸提取物对3T3-L1脂肪细胞葡萄糖消耗与脂肪分解的影响

目的观察山茱萸环烯醚萜苷类提取物对3T3-L1成熟脂肪细胞葡萄糖消耗及异丙肾上腺素(ISO)诱导脂肪分解的影响,探讨其分子机制。方法葡萄糖氧化酶法测定0.04、0.2、1g/L浓度山茱萸提取物干预24h后对脂肪细胞葡萄糖消耗量的影响;比色法测定干预2d后ISO 30min诱导脂肪细胞脂肪分解的甘油释放量;Real-time PCR法检测干预2d后脂肪细胞AMPK、GLUT4和HSL mRNA表达水平,Western blot检测药物对AMPK、ACC蛋白磷酸化的影响。结果 1g/L山茱萸提取物干预成熟脂肪细胞24h后可增加葡萄糖消耗,干预2d后可明显抑制不同浓度ISO诱导的脂肪分解,0.2、0.04g/L提取物可抑制低浓度ISO诱导的脂肪分解;各浓度提取物干预2d可不同程度上调AMPK、GLUT4mRNA水平,下调HSL mRNA表达,1g/L浓度时AMPK、ACC磷酸化水平升高。结论山茱萸提取物可能通过上调AMPK基因表达的相关途径增加3T3-L1脂肪细胞葡萄糖消耗并抑制ISO诱导的脂肪分解。
