Dating of Inkpad Seals Using the Extraction Rate Method: Preliminary Findings

Inkpad seals are often placed on important documents, and determining the date when a seal was affixed can be important to assess the authenticity of a document. In this study, three different brands of inkpads and four different types of paper were used to make diachronic samples of the seals. A double‐solvent extraction method was employed to date the inkpad seals by comparing extraction rates with inks of known age. Cyclohexane was selected as a weak solvent, and chlorobenzene was selected as a strong solvent. After testing, curves were created to show the relationship between the extraction percentage of ink and the date of the seals. The experimental results showed that the extraction rate method was applicable for the relative dating of inkpad seals in some cases where the seal was placed on the document within 6 months.     

China as an institution-builder: the case of the AIIB

As China is entering into the center stage of the world arena, it has become more proactive in regional and global institution-building.

Is Public Management Neglecting the State?

Public management is a domain of research that is now roughly three decades old. Researchers in this area have made important advances in understanding about the performance of public organizations. But questions have been raised about the scope and methods of public management research (PMR). Does it neglect important questions about the development of major institutions of the modern state? Has it focused unduly on problems of the advanced democracies? Has it made itself irrelevant to public debates about the role and design of government, and the capacity of public institutions to deal with emerging challenges? This set of eight short essays were prepared for a roundtable held at the research conference of the PMR Association at the University of Aarhus in June 2016. Contributors were asked to consider the question: Is PMR neglecting the state?     

中国城乡结合部土地规制改进的探讨

目前,在土地转性和用途更改集中的城乡结合部,呈现出土地利用的粗放式、低效率、违法违规等问题,表明现有的土地规制政策有其内在缺陷,不能有效地遏制耕地资源的减少。因此,应当从明晰土地产权,完善土地征用的法律制度、程序、管理体制,加强市场机制作用等方面进行城乡结合部土地规制的改进。     

网络服务提供商(ISP)版权责任问题研究

网络服务提供商分为因特网连接服务、内容服务和特殊服务提供商三类 ,三者版权责任各异。连接服务提供商因只提供数据传输通道 ,对网上客户实施的版权侵权行为不应当承担责任 ;内容服务提供商主要是通过自己的网站向用户提供信息 ,类似传统环境下出版者地位 ,应对其发布的所有信息承担版权责任 ,但是在使用超文本链接技术中提出“虚拟”材料时 ,版权人不构成侵权 ;特殊服务提供商是在网上提供布告板的经营者 ,应当对权利人承担版权责任 ,但是只有在推定过错原则下承担责任才是合理的 ,才有利于平衡服务提供商和社会公共利益

边境地区新型公共治理模式研究

在内蒙古边境地区,因各社会主体公共服务需求的多方位持续增长,促生出一种新型公共治理模式,其突出特点是:三个功能系统,即边境地区社会治安综合治理多主体联功系统,边境地区应急管理指挥系统和边境地区公共服务系统合而为一,并相得益彰,对中国北部边境广大区域的农牧民的生产生活产生了日益深刻而意义重大的积极影响.这一治理模式所蕴含的一些独创性探索,如多元主体共同参与社会公共治理;依托原有机构,建立集多项应急管理功能于一体的首个农村应急管理系统;对边境地区基层政府公共管理的改进等,都值得我们在治理理论框架下予以深入分析.
