中国设立居住权制度必要性的探讨

该文认为，在中国物权法中引入居住权仍有一定的制度价值。文章从居住权的性质、物权原则在中国的实行、规定居住权所能解决的问题等几个方面，对在中国设立居住权制度的问题进行探讨，从而得出居住权在中国具有存在必要性的结论。     

Ius：从正义到权利

正义与权利是ius一词最重要的两个含义,它们在古罗马时期经历了一个重心转移的过程。正是这一转变引发了西方法律史上的革命并直接奠定了物权法的立法基础。探讨了这一转变的原因及其影响,对于我们今天的物权立法意义重大。     

论留置权的物权性

大陆法系的留置权是何种性质的权利,学者们看法不一。一般认为有债权的留置权与物权的留置权之分。其实,如果我们从留置权的产生、效力和消灭这三方面来看,实质意义上的留置权属于物权,它表现了很强的物权性。     

我国现行房地产权属登记存在的问题及立法完善

房地产是我国特有的不动产概念,包括房产和地产,即土地及地上建筑物.我国现行房地产登记的职能基本沿用行政管理模式,这种模式在政治经济飞速发展的今天越来越显出其弊端.我国目前的产权登记制度已不能满足房地产市场的发展对登记职能的要求,存在诸多缺陷:登记的法律依据不统一;登记机关不统一,内部登记机构分设;房地产登记效力不统一、不规范;绝对的登记要件主义;错误地把登记作为不动产物权移转合同生效的要件等.针对这些存在的问题,应建立统一的登记机关,统一登记的程序,统一登记的效力,扩大登记的范围,淡化房地产登记制度的行政管理色彩.     

试论物权中的相对性

物权中也有相对性 ,物权相对性产生于物权与债权的相互关系及物权自身在社会经济生活中的发展变化。一些财产权既非物权亦非债权 ,此由物权中的相对性而产生。认识和探究物权中的相对性在民法研究和立法上都非常重要。     

我国物权法对担保物权规定之得失

《中华人民共和国物权法》颁行之后,各界对此解读非常之多,相对而言对担保物权赞誉最多,担保物权编中在抵押合同的设定与抵押权的设定关系问题、新型担保方式等方面吸收了先进的立法例,巩固了实践中有关担保的科学的方式方法,规范了《中华人民共和国担保法》及司法解释的相关规定中的不足之处,为司法实践中解决担保问题提供了良好的法律基础,但在部分制度设置上如登记制度仍选择了回避,实属遗憾。     

论动产抵押物的转让——兼析动产物权公示方式之调整

动产抵押权的登记公示制度破坏了公示方法选择之统一性原则,导致登记公示的动产抵押权与占有公示的动产所有权之间的矛盾,并最终将因登记而获得对抗力的抵押权人与因信赖占有而受公信力保护的第三人推向了利益尖锐对抗的两极。现有的立法与学说在平衡与协调两极利益上均无功而返,唯有将动产抵押物限制在一定范围的“准不动产”上,并在该领域也采行物权的登记公示制度,才是从根源上解决问题的最具合理性的方案。     

论物权法的任意性及其对物权法律适用的影响

物权法定原则是物权法的基本原则,但物权法也存在一定程度的任意性,国际私法涉外物权的法律适用也应体现这一特征,在物权法任意性的范围内适用当事人的意思自治原则。中国国际私法物权的法律适用应体现这一趋势。     

Putting the Supplier in Housing Supply: An Overview of the Growth and Concentration of Large Homebuilders in the United States (1990–2007)

As housing production was ramping up in the 1990s and 2000s, some of the industry’s largest firms experienced remarkable growth primarily through mergers and acquisitions and the issuance of debt; the market share of the 10 largest firms tripled between 1995 and 2005. This article describes the role of financial firms in encouraging that growth and some of its consequences. Drawing on financial filings, news reports, investor analyses, and other relevant data, this article offers an overview of the relationship between homebuilders and investment firms, as well as a new explanation of the oversupply of housing in the 2000s. In doing so, this article seeks to bring attention to homebuilders as a missing feature in analyses of housing supply and housing markets, and proposes directions for future research.     

Development of a Real‐Time PCR‐Based Method for Analyzing Semen‐Specific Unmethylated DNA Regions and Methylation Status in Aged Body Fluid Stains

The detection of semen in forensic investigation is considered important evidence of sexual assault. In this study, we report the development of a real‐time polymerase chain reaction‐based method for identifying semen that can simply and rapidly analyze the semen‐specific unmethylated region of the DACT1 gene. Using two fluorescent probes designed for the methylated or unmethylated status, this method could perform quantitative analysis of the methylation status in this region. Furthermore, this method was used to analyze various body fluid samples, including 29‐year‐old semen and blood stains. The results showed that this method can detect almost exclusively semen or nonsemen signals even in highly decomposed samples, while a few semen or nonsemen samples showed slight signals of the other fluorescence probe. Although there is still a need for further analysis such as setting thresholds to analyze unknown samples, this method could be a useful supplementary tool for identifying semen, especially in old stains such as those in cold‐case investigations.
