论二审死刑案件的公开审理

公开审判与司法公正,二者之间具有不可分割的内在联系。二审死刑案件普遍实行公开审判,不仅在实现司法公正、保障公民程序人权上具有重要意义,在限制死刑的适用,彰显对生命权的特别尊重方面,也具有不可低估的作用。而开庭审理是公开审判最基本的要求。目前司法实践以《刑事诉讼法》第187条作为法律依据,对死刑二审案件实行所谓的“书面审理”的做法,不仅是对该法律规定的误解,在一定程度上也体现了生命至上与程序公正理念的缺失。     

刑事悬赏广告研究

我国法律没有关于悬赏广告的明文规定 ,理论界的研究也多针对民商事悬赏广告。我国刑事悬赏广告的法律性质应定位为职责性单独行为 ,广告人只能是司法机关 ,悬赏金的支付应区别对待。     

谈思想政治教育与警察职业特点的有机结合

思想政治教育与警察专业的有机结合,是提高公安院校思想政治教育实效性的有效途径。思想政治理论课教师如果抛开警察职业的特点而单纯地对学员进行思想政治教育,所起到的效果是不理想的。文章主要从思想政治教育与警察专业结合的必要性与具体方式入手,探讨增强公安院校思想政治教育实效性的途径。     

二维红外光谱用于急性心肌缺血猝死的鉴别研究

目的采用衰减全反射-傅里叶变换红外光谱(ATR-FTIR)技术检测急性心肌缺血猝死大鼠的血清分子特征,探讨二维红外光谱鉴别急性心肌缺血猝死的法医学价值。方法成年雄性SD大鼠随机分为急性心肌缺血猝死组(实验组)和空气栓塞死组(对照组),血清样本行ATR-FTIR检测,应用OMNIC软件进行光谱预处理并求二阶导数光谱,分别计算两组原始光谱及二阶导数光谱的相似度,并应用Matlab R2010a软件建立二维光谱模型。结果实验组与对照组的大鼠血清的原始红外光谱在峰形、峰位、峰强度均极其相似,相似度达99.78%,二阶导数光谱显示出两者相似度降至98.62%,二维光谱模型显示两组光谱在1 625cm~(-1)、1 550cm~(-1)、1 080cm~(-1)及860cm~(-1)附近的成分差异,且它们的自动峰个数不相同,提示两组在蛋白质、糖原、核酸等分子含量存在较明显差异。结论仅从一维光谱上难以区分出两组的分子差异,二维红外光谱可以直观、有效地反映出急性心肌缺血猝死与空气栓塞死的大鼠血清分子差异,有望应用于法医学死因鉴别。     

《刑事诉讼法》再修改视野下检察机关办理刑事二审案件面临的挑战与应对

在我国两审终审制的审级制度下,刑事二审程序是绝大多数刑事案件的最后一道救济程序,具有纠错和权利救济两大基本功能,同时,刑事二审又是检察机关履行法律监督职能的重要内容。2012年3月14日第十一届全国人大五次会议通过的关于修改《刑事诉讼法》的决定,对刑事二审程序的修改内容比较多,检察机关办理刑事二审案件将面临着新的挑战。本文结合检察机关办理刑事二审案件的司法实践,探讨《刑事诉讼法修正案》对刑事二审的修改内容及给检察机关带来的挑战和应对措施。

The electoral connection in staggered parliaments: Evidence from Australia,France, Germany and Japan

This article explores whether differential time horizons in legislative chambers that result from staggered membership renewal affect legislative behaviour. The analysis focuses on patterns of bill initiation and the introduction of amendments in the upper chambers of Australia, France, Germany and Japan – all four of which contain two or more classes of members that face re‐election at different times. Drawing on original comparative data, clear evidence is found of over‐time variation in legislative activity levels in the upper chambers. Approaching elections lead to increased activity levels, with increases in the introduction of bills, but also, to a lesser extent, amending activity. Such variation is found not only for those members facing the most proximate election, but for all members of the chamber. Importantly, there are no significant differences in legislative behaviour between those members up for re‐election and those not facing the electorate in the most proximate election. These patterns are interpreted tentatively as evidence of the paramount importance of political parties in parliamentary systems.     

Making the Most of the First‐Offer Advantage: Pre‐Offer Conversation and Negotiation Outcomes

Why do some negotiators benefit from making the first offer during negotiations while others do not? This study explores the contents of conversations that take place before negotiators make their first offers in order to learn more about the differences between ultimately successful first offers that benefit from anchoring effects and ultimately unsuccessful ones in which negotiators apparently derive no benefit from making the first offer. In‐depth qualitative analyses of the conversations that role players engaged in prior to their first offers were conducted in simulated negotiation exercises. Their analysis identified five different conversational tactics that negotiators employed in one‐on‐one negotiations to gain power in the negotiation, or what they call here “power conversation tactics.” Their findings suggest that the negotiation outcome (i.e., net value) was related to how the negotiators employed and combined these tactics during the pre‐offer conversation. Based on these findings, they conceptualized four types of power‐gaining/power‐losing pre‐offer conversation scenarios and explored the link between negotiation outcomes and each of these types of pre‐offer conversations. This study further develops the literature on power dynamics and conversations in negotiations as well as the literature on the anchoring effect of a first offer.     

Cosmopolitan belonging and diaspora: second-generation British Muslim women travelling to South Asia

This paper traces the ways in which British born Muslim women self-identify with Britain and South Asia. More specifically, the article explores the ways in which the young women express their sense of belonging and convey cosmopolitan identities while they self-reflect upon their travels to their parents' homeland. The paper argues that the women do not view Britain and South Asian nations in discrete terms along religious and cultural dimensions but with frequent visits in different stages in their lives come to understand these nation-states in porous ways. For example, they self-identify with South Asia because of South Asian culture's emphasis on the family and express openness and tolerance towards their parents' homeland. On occasions they express tourist-like appreciation of their parents' homelands. Yet in other instances, they reflect upon the ways in which they negotiate foreign and challenging circumstances. At the same time they consider Britain to be their home because they find that women have relatively greater independence and rights here. Some of the women also find it easier in Britain to express their religious rights. For example, they find that in Pakistan, although a Muslim nation, it is not customary to wear a headscarf but rather the traditional dress. Much of the literature that has explored diasporic young people's experience has focused on questions of identity through the lens of their country of residence. However, given the age of global interconnectedness and the decreasing salience of nation as an overarching feature of identity, it becomes significant to explore in greater detail questions of belonging, cosmopolitanism, and nation. Examining the narratives of British born Muslim Asian women, this study conceptualizes identity around ‘belonging’ and ‘cosmopolitanism’. Data are based on in-depth interviews of 25 second-generation British Asian Muslim women meeting regularly at Islamic study circles. Respondents ranged from ages of 19 to 28 years old who were mainly middle class professionals and university students.     

遗失物立法中的几点思考和建议

我国关于遗失物的立法还不够完善,导致司法实务中有关遗失物纠纷的处理无法可依。为此,应当建立和完善物权立法,对遗失物拾得人的报酬请求权,遗失物的悬赏广告,以及无人认领的遗失物归属等问题应作出明确合理的规定。
