Ausmaß, Strukturen und Implikationen präsidialer Macht im postkommunistischen Raum

This research note builds on recent results of the literature on presidentialism to develop a new measure of presidential power. The Index of Presidential Power (IPP) differentiates three dimensions: legitimacy, legislative and non‐legislative powers. The IPP can be used for all types of governmental systems in different political regimes. For the first time the IPP estimates presidential power granted by the constitution in all 28 post‐communist countries. This information is collected in the IPP data set, which is used to carry out analyses at the aggregate level as well as at the level of the individual presidential power dimensions. Results show that the semi‐presidential category is of little use. The comparison of the IPP with alternative indices of presidential power in post‐communist countries indicates that political analysis should give more attention to presidential power structures.     

Whither the Liberal Democratic Model? Immigration Politics in Switzerland and Japan

A comparison of Japan's and Switzerland's immigration policies disclaims both globalist and public choice explanations that would predict a similar increase in immigrant numbers and an expansion of immigrant rights in liberal democracies. Although both countries have traditionally espoused a rather exclusionary approach towards immigration, Japan is unique in having hitherto succeeded in preempting large numbers of immigrants from entering the country and in having avoided the legal and societal integration of those migrants already present in its territory. In seeking to explain the different trajectories followed by immigration politics in Japan and Switzerland, despite their similar internal and external economic constellations, this article highlights the role of domestic institutions and norms in filtering economic pressure for immigration. Whereas these internal determinants explain to a large degree why Switzerland has become a country of immigration while Japan has not, the central factor explaining the recent expansion of foreign residents’ rights in Switzerland lies not so much in internal determinants but in the country‘s progressing approximation to the European Union and its single market. Notwithstanding these differences, the article concludes that Japan‘s greater resistance to change might now have reached a critical juncture, where demographic pressure and economic demand will make an opening up to increased labor migration unavoidable.

脑干轴索肿胀的半定量研究

目的 探讨轴索肿胀在鉴定脑干损伤中的意义。方法 取明确死于原发性脑干损伤(36例)和脑外疾病(28例)者共64例，分为损伤组(36例)和对照组(其中死于心血管疾病12例、非心血管疾病16例)，并将其死后24h和48h前、后做尸体解剖分为2组，通过对中脑、脑桥和延脑切片、镀银染色，在100倍光镜下采用显微测微器测量每片9条最粗的轴索横径，对所得数据作方差分析、t检验统计学处理。结果 损伤组与对照组(不包括心血管疾病死亡者)相比，中脑、延脑部的轴索肿胀程度有明显差异(P＜0.05)；死后48h内解剖的损伤组与对照组相比无差异(P＞0.05)，但超过48h解剖两组有明显差异(P＜0.05)。结论 中脑、延脑部轴索肿胀与外伤有明显的相关性。轴索肿胀对判断脑干损伤有意义。需排除心血管疾病致死。
