深化“放管服”改革的重点与方向——基于机构改革的分析视角

当前的“放管服”改革取得了重大进展,形成了一些经验和共识。“放管服”改革应当以机构改革为契机,理顺两者之间的内在关联,契合机构改革的现实需要,展现新的时代使命。“放管服”改革要适应机构改革凸显五项核心职能、致力精简效能、坚持以人民为中心等特点,紧紧围绕系统化的现代政府职能体系、标准化的现代服务政府、智能化的未来发展、精准化的个性服务等方向展开,找准深化改革的最佳切入点。     

STATE LAW AND THE TERMINATION OF PARENTAL RIGHTS

This paper presents the findings from a content analysis of state laws authorizing the termination of parental rights. The analysis yielded a taxonomy of termination criteria and it identified those criteria that were most widely adopted by the states. State termination criteria were compared to those listed in the Adoption and Safe Families Act (ASFA) of 1997. The comparison shows that state laws identify more types of termination criteria than are listed in ASFA. In addition, criteria related to neglect and “parental failure” were often ambiguous and lacked detail. The study identifies possible directions for research on state termination law.     

论我国犯罪被害人国家补偿制度的构建

对因暴力犯罪而致生命、健康遭受侵害之被害人国家补偿不仅是一种道义上的"善行",更是一项国家的法律责任。建立我国犯罪被害人国家补偿制度的必要性和合理性已经达成共识,但"如何建构的问题"却依然存在着较大争议。借鉴国外成功的经验,立足中国实际,深入系统地探讨犯罪被害人国家补偿的对象、适用条件、补偿程度、资金来源及管理机构、补偿程序等重要问题,对于我国犯罪被害人国家补偿制度的科学建构具有重要的意义。     

Prevention of Victimization

SUMMARY

Children are frequently exposed to violence at school or in their neighborhood, resulting in multiple negative psychological effects, including anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, isolation, hopelessness, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. The present study evaluated the unique prevention program implemented in inner city parks designed to prevent the development of short- and long-term consequences of exposure to chronic violence. Results indicated that participants benefited significantly from the program, as evidenced by a decrease in endorsement of submissive conflict resolution strategies and behavioral problems. Higher self-esteem was related to increased program gains. Gender emerged as another moderator, while age was unrelated to improvement.

善治与和谐——对政府治理视野下基本公共服务均等化“五W”模式的探讨

论文以政府治理为视角.尝试提出基本公共服务均等化的"五W"模式:即从"Who(实施的主体)、Whom(受益的对象)、What(实施的内容)、When(实施的时间)、Where(实施的地点)"五个方面具体分析公共服务均等化的内涵,认为政府治理的终极目标--善治与基本公共服务均等化在内涵上是一致的.论文在借鉴国外基本公共服务均等化经验的基础上,认为政府需要转变执政观念,加强社会管理与建设,遵循我国社会经济发展实际,因地制宜,确立不同区域公共服务均等化指标体系,逐步实现公共服务均等化,促进社会和谐发展.     

A Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity cost benefit analysis for use of nylon 4N6FLOQSwabs®

Forensic genetic laboratories are challenged with implementing innovation even if the benefits to operational performance are well demonstrated often because of internal budget constraints. A prospective cost–benefit analysis (CBA) could support justification for an increased budget by effectively demonstrating in a system-based approach the relatively small cost of increasing a laboratory budget can substantially reduce costs to society (both qualitatively and monetarily). A Monte Carlo simulation and sensitivity CBA was performed using a more expensive swab (i.e., nylon 4N6FLOQSwabs®) compared with a less costly cotton swab. Ranges of input values and tangible and intangible benefits were considered. The outcome is that the relatively small increased cost of using a nylon swab pales compared with the potential tangible and intangible benefits to the overall system. This approach provides a sounder basis for requesting additional funds to support implementation of technologies and better approximates realistic situations while accommodating uncertainty of input values.
