浅析环境影响评价制度

环境保护必须谋求科学化、法制化的途径,而环境影响评价则是环境保护的重要手段和措施,建立科学的环境影响评价制度,是改善人类生存现状和获得良好环境质量的保障。目前,我国已颁布了完整的环境影响评价法,进一步完善了我国的环境影响评价制度。文章对我国的环境影响评价法进行了简要评析。     

农民工对新农村建设影响的实证研究

作为连接城乡的纽带,农民工群体在社会主义新农村建设中发挥着不可替代的作用。随着改革开放的深入,农民工的地位与作用越来越凸显。但从社会地位来看,农民工群体处于一种"底层精英"的尴尬境地。一方面,他们在城市社会中处于社会的底层;另一方面,在农村社会中,他们却属于精英群体。农民工对新农村建设包括新农村经济建设、新农村政治建设和新农村文化建设三个方面所产生的影响是显而易见的。     

论我国环境影响评价制度的效用及完善

环境影响评价(Environmental Impact Assessment,英文缩写为EIA)是实现可持续发展的重要工具,多数国家都要求时建设项目进行环境影响评价.我国法律要求对国家的政策、计划和规划项目进行的环境影响进行评价,目的是通过该制度把环境保护目标和措施纳入经济和社会发展的规划中,使环境因素与经济、社会因素一起,在规划形成的早期阶段得到重视.鉴于环评制度的重要意义,从环境影响评价的基本问题出发,分析环境影响评价效用以及存在的现实问题,最终提出环境影响评价制度的完善措施.     

先秦“道”论演变及对《黄帝内经》之影响

＂道＂观念经过先秦诸家尤其是道家老庄丰富发展,演变为中国古代哲学重要范畴。它所包含的宇宙万物之普遍规律、恍惚超越、顺道而有为等思想被《黄帝内经》直接汲取,并根据医学实际被赋予了更为丰富的内涵,成为指导中国传统医学认识人体生命活动、病理变化、诊疗之道、养生方法的思维规律,对中医学理论的形成和发展产生了巨大影响。     

Fracture patterns on the infant porcine skull following severe blunt impact

The objective of this study was to document patterns of fracture on infant porcine skulls aged 2-28 days (n = 57) because of a single, high energy blunt impact to the parietal bone with rigid (nondeformable) and compliant (deformable) interfaces. Fracture patterns were mapped using Geographic Information System software. For the same generated impact force, the rigid interface produced more fractures than the compliant interface for all ages. This study also showed that this increased level of impact energy versus an earlier study using a lower energy resulted in new sites of fracture initiation and also caused previously defined fractures that propagate into an adjacent bone. Several unique characteristics of bone and diastatic fracture were documented as a function of specimen age, impact energy, and interface. These data describe some baseline characteristics of skull fracture using an animal model that may help guide future studies from forensic case files.     

Privacy and the precautionary principle

The precautionary principle – which implies that where there are threats of serious or irreversible damage, lack of full scientific certainty shall not be used as a reason for postponing protective measures – has been adopted as a standard of environmental and health protection in international and European legislation. This article offers an overview of the precautionary principle as a legal standard applicable to European privacy and data protection legislation. For this reason, it takes particularly into account the guidelines of this legislation as well as the privacy impact assessment framework, raised by the European Commission through the Recommendation on Radio-Frequency Identification applications. In brief, the article stresses the role of the precautionary principle in improving privacy protection through liability, prudence and transparency.     

Will the European Commission be able to standardise legal technology design without a legal method?

Privacy by Design (PbD) is a kind of precautionary legal technology design. It takes opportunities for fundamental rights without creating risks for them. Now the EU Commission “promised” to implement PbD with Art. 23(4) of its proposal of a General Data Protection Regulation. It suggests setting up a committee that can define technical standards for PbD. However the Commission did not keep its promise. Should it be left to the IT security experts who sit in the committee but do not have the legal expertise, to decide on our privacy or, by using overly detailed specifications, to prevent businesses from marketing innovative products? This paper asserts that the Commission's implementation of PbD is not acceptable as it stands and makes positive contributions for the work of a future PbD committee so that the Commission can keep its promise to introduce precautionary legal technology design.     

Continuity,change, and priorities: The quality and use of regulatory analysis across US administrations

This paper compares the quality and use of regulatory analysis accompanying economically significant regulations proposed by US executive branch agencies in 2008, 2009, and 2010. We find that the quality of regulatory analysis is generally low, but varies widely. Budget regulations, which define how the federal government will spend money or collect revenues, have much lower‐quality analysis than other regulations. The Bush administration's “midnight” regulations finalized between Election Day and Inauguration Day, along with other regulations left for the Obama administration to finalize, tended to have lower‐quality analysis. Most differences between the Bush and Obama administrations depend on agencies' policy preferences. More conservative agencies tended to produce better analysis in the Obama administration, and more liberal agencies tended to do so in the Bush administration. This suggests that agencies more central to an administration's policy priorities do not have to produce as good an analysis to get their regulations promulgated.     

《律师法》修订对检察机关的影响和对策

《律师法》修订对检察工作特别是职务侦查和公诉工作产生重大影响。检察机关应当通过积极转变执法理念、转变侦查模式、提高查案能力、加强证据收集等途径来应对变化，提升法律监督能力。     

刑罚结构调整对我国监狱行刑的影响及应对

《刑法修正案（八）》对刑罚结构的调整引起了学者的关注，同时对我国刑罚执行机关监狱的工作也产生了巨大影响。因此，明确本次刑罚结构的调整对监狱工作产生的影响，并在分析成因的基础上，有针对性地提出可操作性解决方案，不仅有利于贯彻《监狱法》的基本精神，提高监狱部门监管工作的实效，还有利于实现“惩罚与改造相结合、以改造人为宗旨”的监狱工作方针，使罪犯顺利的回归社会。
