论死刑犯的亲属及辩护律师的及时获知裁决权--一个已决死刑案件引发的思考

及时获知裁决权,是指诉讼程序的参与主体及其他主体有及时得到司法裁判的结果的权利.对于程序参与者而言,他们参与到诉讼程序中来的目的之一便是获得一个对自己所支持的一方有利的裁决;而对于另外一些主体而言,他们与案件或者当事人有着某种特定的关系.这就决定了以上主体有权获知裁决.而且这种获知不应受到不必要的拖延,因为及时意味着社会关系待定状态的缩短和及时救济.在死刑案件中,保障被害人亲属、辩护律师及时获知裁决的权利是司法人性化的要求,也是对死刑犯实现最后救济的保障.     

中国法律演进的历史时空环境

近代西方的世界性扩张不仅在地理空间方面结束了各古老区域性文明的相互隔绝状态 ,实现了全球范围内的关系整合 ,也在时间方面结束了各古老民族的循环时间观念的命运 ,把西方工业化社会内部所呈现的以“历史进步”为特征的线性时间逻辑客观地强加于各古老民族。在西方扩张的进程中 ,中国社会与法律和其他非西方民族的情况一样 ,成为“扩张”和被“挤压”的对象。本文借助人文地理学家戴维·哈维 (DavidHarvey)“时空压缩”概念并加以适当转换 ,提出了“时空挤压”理论 ,用以描述中国近现代法律演进的历史时空环境。     

A Review of Bomb Pulse Dating and its Use in the Investigation of Unidentified Human Remains

In cases where there is limited antemortem information, the examination of unidentified human remains as part of the investigation of long-term missing person's cases is a complex endeavor and consequently requires a multidisciplinary approach. Bomb pulse dating, which involves the analysis and interpretation of 14C concentration, is one technique that may assist in these investigations by providing an estimate of year of birth and year of death. This review examines the technique of bomb pulse dating and its use in the identification of differentially preserved unknown human remains. Research and case studies implementing bomb pulse dating have predominantly been undertaken in the Northern Hemisphere and have demonstrated reliable and accurate results. Limitations were, however, identified throughout the literature. These included the small sample sizes used in previous research/case studies which impacted on the statistical significance of the findings, as well as technique-specific issues. Such limitations highlight the need for future research.     

Forecasting the 2015 British general election: The Seats-Votes model

This paper applies the Seats-Votes Model to the task of forecasting the outcome of the 2015 election in Britain in terms of the seats won by the three major parties. The model derives originally from the ‘Law of Cubic Proportions’ the first formal statistical election forecasting model to be developed in Britain. It is an aggregate model which utilises the seats won by the major parties in the previous general election together with vote intentions six months prior to the general election to forecast seats. The model was reasonably successful in forecasting the 2005 and 2010 general elections, but has to be modified to take into account the ‘regime shift’ which occurred when the Liberal Democrats went into coalition with the Conservatives in 2010.     

冬季且被严重焚烧的尸体上也会有昆虫

一例凶杀案件发生于广东省最冷的1-2月,尸体经过了焚烧至大部分组织炭化,但在该被害者身上仍旧发现了蝇类昆虫,应用这些昆虫的发育进度准确的推断出了死亡时间。与其它季节未经过焚烧的尸体比较,该现场昆虫的种类、数量均明显减少,昆虫也主要分布于尸体下方避风处的腐败物质中。另外,在该尸体上片状分布着一层霉菌,这些霉菌的状态显然有时间相关性,提示我们通过对霉菌的研究也能找到死亡时间的线索。     

青少年宫开展学生综合实践教育活动模式研究

我国正处于社会转型时期,社会大教育体系尚未构筑,校外教育资源普遍存在着单打独斗或片面依附校内教育的情况,阻碍了校外教育事业的自身发展.本文试图从青少年宫开展学生综合实践教育活动为切入点,通过“三合模式”探究实践,将各种社会资源“综合”起来,并以之为依托服务广大学生的“实践”活动.     

结构与功能的背离:宋代州府司法中的长属分职与长官专权

宋代州级司法职能配置在长官与属官之间存在明确的分工。这种职能分工被赋予了防范长官干预属官司法行为的权力约束功能。但在审判实践中,长官往往借助官制特权或法定特权赋予的优势地位,干预或控制属官的审判行为,操纵州府审判的过程与结果,使州府审判过程呈现出鲜明的长官专权特质。从其司法制度演进的历史考察,两宋时期之所以出现司法体制上的控权倾向与审判过程中的专权特质并存的局面,根源在于其政权建设中难以克服的"祖宗之法"与"汉唐故事"之间的深刻抵牾。     

A Grounded Theory of Korean Immigrants' Experiences of Re-Establishing Everyday Activities in New Zealand

This study explored how immigrants locate themselves in a new culture through analyzing 25 Korean immigrants' everyday activities in New Zealand. The findings suggest that they opted to either behave in Korean ways or to take up behaviors reflective of the receiving society, based on their level of control over activities disrupted by immigration. The findings supplement the concept of acculturation, explaining how 21st-century immigrants who retain transnational status engage in the acculturation process within a globalized context.
