新世纪辽宁科技创新政策评价

对新世纪辽宁科技创新政策的评价有利于提高政策的科学性和效力。新世纪辽宁科技创新政策具有出台政策不断增多、紧密配合中央政策以及很好地体现辽宁实际的特点。但是也存在一些问题,主要表现在辽宁风险投资政策缺乏,制约了风险投资活动的发展;产学研政策落实不到位,削弱各产学研主体间合作的动力以及中小企业政策操作性不强,降低服务质量。针对这些问题,提出完善辽宁科技创新政策的对策建议,包括出台并落实辽宁风险投资的有关政策,健全辽宁产学研的配套政策体系,以及加强辽宁中小企业政策和服务体系的细化与深入。     

物流仿真软件的应用现状与发展

物流仿真在我国已逐渐显出其重要作用。我国物流发展水平和研究应用能力还不尽人意，物流企业或企业物流在面临物流工程项目投资新建或原有系统技术改造时，由于缺乏准确丰富的信息数据和必要的物流仿真系统决策支持，造成了企业物流项目建设投入的盲目性和资金流失。物流仿真借助计算机技术对物流系统进行真实模仿，通过仿真实验得到各种动态活动及过程瞬间仿效记录，进而验证物流工程项目建设的有效性、合理性和优化效果，因此物流仿真是有其重要意义的。本文着重介绍物流仿真的功能，几种常见的物流仿真软件的性能特点，同时结合Flexsim和RaLC（乐龙）两种国内外典型仿真软件，进行物流仿真软件的应用过程与仿真效果分析。

Calling on Jefferson: the ‘custodiary’ as the fourth estate in the Democratic Project

Aimed at reinforcing the democratic values of freedom of speech and increased diversity in civic access to the means of communication, this paper examines the concept of democracy within an information and communication technology-mediated context. Discussion proceeds with an analysis of orthodox views adopted by Jefferson and the architects of the American Constitution. Building on the Jeffersonian tradition, a critique is presented of present-day, non-transparent constraints on the democratic values of freedom of speech, information access and the structural constrains mitigating unfettered public access to critical information and debate on fundamental social and political issues of the day. The proposed ‘custodiary’ model for the new Democratic Project is premised on the development of a constitutional framework which encourages information diversity and freedom of access and expression as a way of bringing back ‘discourse’ into democratic praxis.     

Constituent Communication Through Telephone Town Halls: A Field Experiment Involving Members of Congress

Telephone town halls are an increasingly prevalent method for members of Congress (MCs) to communicate with constituents, even while garnering popular criticism for failing to facilitate engagement and accountability. Yet scholars have paid little attention to the events and their effects, and even less to how they might be improved. To remedy this problem, we report on a field experiment in which four MCs joined their constituents in telephone town halls. Overall, participation in an event improved constituents’ evaluations of the format in general, and of the MC in particular. Furthermore, we studied how these events might be improved by evaluating a reform—a single‐topic focus with predistributed briefing materials—designed to enhance deliberative interaction. This reform enhanced effects on opinions of the format without significantly altering effects on attitudes toward the MC. Our results suggest that telephone town halls hold promise for constituents, officeholders, and democratic practice.     

EU update

This is the latest edition of the DLA Piper column on developments in EU law relating to IP, IT and telecommunications.

A Pimp's Game: A Rational Choice Approach to Understanding the Decisions of Sex Traffickers

We employ a rational choice framework to understand the conditions under which sex traffickers allow their victims access to telecommunications devices while under their control. We posit that sex traffickers are rational actors who make calculated decisions regarding whether to allow their victims access to the Internet and cell phones. We hypothesize that sex traffickers allow younger victims and those they did not defraud in the recruitment process greater access to telecommunications devices because these decisions maximize their payoffs with minimal risk. However, we hypothesize that younger victims’ access to telecommunications devices is conditional on whether they have been defrauded in recruitment. In order to test these hypotheses, we deployed a survey to 115 victims of sex trafficking in the United States to learn about how they were recruited by their sex trafficker and the level of access they had to technology while under their sex trafficker's control. We find support for all of our hypotheses. The results have serious implications for criminal justice policy and practice.
