Politics and Corporate‐Sector Environmentally Significant Actions: The Effects of Political Partisanship on U.S. Utilities Energy Efficiency Policies

This study assesses the direct, indirect, and total impacts of political partisanship on state‐level utilities' investment in energy efficiency. This subject is of utmost importance because energy efficiency improvement has become a linchpin in worldwide efforts to combat climate change and other environmental challenges. Analysis of data on 51 electric utilities nested within 31 U.S. states indicates that political partisanship influences utilities' energy efficiency policies. There is strong evidence that electric utilities in states dominated by the Republican Party are less likely to invest in energy efficiency than those in states governed by the Democratic Party. This finding suggests that political partisanship may be shaping the policy and regulatory frameworks put in place by state governments to incentivize or compel the participation of private‐sector entities' in environmental management and/or resource conservation.

复合扩增检测D9S302、D18S865和PLA2A基因座多态性

应用 PCR复合扩增技术、变性聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和银染法显色检测技术,对云南省汉族人群 100名个体的 D9S302、 D18S865和 PLA2A基因座进行了研究,分别检出 10、 7和 7个等位基因,基因型频率分布均符合 Hardy－ Weinberg平衡,家系调查证实三基因座的传递遵循孟德尔遗传规律。三基因座累积个人识别率为 0.999 7,累积非父排除率为 0.992 9。证实了复合扩增 D9S302、 D18S865和 PLA2A三基因座是法医学个人识别和亲权鉴定中极有价值的检测方法。     

侦查案例教学的课程设计

案例教学法在侦查教学中已被广为推崇,但是,大多数人所理解和使用的案例教学法都过于简单或存在误解。侦查案例教学必须精心进行课程设计,把握课前准备过程、课堂教学过程和教学评价过程中的重要环节。只有这样,才能使案例教学法趋于成熟和完善,从而深化侦查教学的改革。

“Zones of indistinction” and visions of post-reconciliation South Africa in District 9

In this article, I explore the ways in which District 9 reflects South Africa’s current socio-political transition through the problematical representation of the film’s eponymous slum and its impoverished inhabitants as well as its protagonist, Wikus van der Merwe. Drawing on Giorgio Agamben’s influential ideas of biopolitics, I demonstrate the ways in which the film provides a compelling critique of the effects of neoliberal capitalism on post-apartheid transition and South Africa’s complex geopolitical landscape. In this regard, I analyze how the slum figures as a “zone of indistinction” where political and economic forces combine to produce the paradoxical conditions in which impoverished South Africans are included in a democratic social contract, but are simultaneously excluded from the socioeconomic benefits that it promises.     

CCTV-9的国内新闻对中国国家形象的建构

作为CCTV-9的旗舰型新闻栏目，《环球嘹望》的国内新闻在建构国家形象时，主要展示了国家生活中经济、政治以及社会与法制等方面的内容，国家领导人和各级政府官员是其主要的消息来源并主导对国家事务的解读和定义，显示出强烈的主观意识和官方色彩。即便CCTV-9在新闻报道中实际上已经非常注重官方与民间角色的平衡，但是这些“进步”在不经意间被淹没在浓墨重彩的官方报道中了。因此，中国的电视新闻对外传播还应具备跨文化传播的意识，注重受众调查，为他们提供一幅能够真正读懂的地图，从而在国际上树立良好的国家形象。     

Werbungskosten ab Vermietungsabsicht (auch bei ursprünglich selbst bewohnter und noch leerstehender Wohnung)

Ist der endgültige Entschluss, eine Wohnung zu vermieten durch ernste und nachhaltige Vermietungsbemühungen belegt, so liegen (vorab entstandene) Werbungskosten auch für die Zeit vor, in der die zun?chst selbst bewohnte Wohnung noch leer steht.     

Government Promotion of Corporate Social Responsibility: Evidence from the EU Eco‐Management and Audit Scheme

Governments play an active role in promoting corporate social responsibility and specifically environmental management system (EMS) programs, but few studies have examined the impact of such support on the decision of businesses to adopt EMS programs. We ask two questions in this paper: how does government support for EMS programs affect adoption of such programs? Second, what effect does this government support have on the pace of adoption of such programs? The answer to the first question can reveal how effective government programs are in boosting membership in EMS programs. The answer to the second reveals to what extent businesses within EU member states are converging upon particular EMS standards. We examine these questions in the context of the European Union’s Eco‐Management and Audit Scheme (EMAS), 2010–2014. There is significant variation in government support of EMAS across the EU and at the same time, EMAS competes for business attention with the more established ISO 14001. Our quantitative and qualitative analyses therefore reveal the effectiveness of government programs in boosting adoption, but also to the extent to which such programs cause convergence upon EMAS in the face of a competing standard such as ISO 14001.
