School and Neighborhood Contexts,Perceptions of Racial Discrimination,and Psychological Well-being Among African American Adolescents

The present study examined contextual influences on the relationship between racial discrimination (individual, cultural, and collective/institutional) and psychological well-being. Two hundred and fifty two African American adolescents (46% male and 54% female, average age = 16) completed measures of racial discrimination, self-esteem, depressive symptoms and life satisfaction. Archival information regarding the racial/ethnic composition of the participants’ neighborhoods and schools was used and increased school diversity was linked to increased perceptions of cultural discrimination. Regardless of school and neighborhood diversity, high perceptions of collective/institutional discrimination were linked to lower self-esteem for students in high diversity settings. Further, high levels of collective/institutional discrimination were associated with lower life satisfaction for African American youth in low diversity settings.

School Engagement Among Urban Adolescents of Color: Does Perception of Social Support and Neighborhood Safety Really Matter?

In this study we examined the effects of risk factors (perceived neighborhood crime/delinquency problems, neighborhood incivilities) and protective factors (teacher support, family support, peer support) on the school engagement of 123 urban adolescents of color. Age and gender were also examined to determine if different ages (younger or older) or genders (male or female) significantly modified the relationship between the risk factors and school engagement. Results indicated that perceived neighborhood incivilities was uniquely predictive of school engagement. Contrary to hypotheses, different levels of the perceived social support variables did not modify the effects of risky neighborhood conditions on adolescent’s perceived school engagement. Age, but not gender, significantly modified the relationship between perceived family social support and perceived neighborhood crime on adolescents’ reported levels of school engagement. The implications of the results for prevention and intervention programs that address school engagement among early adolescents of color are considered.

民法总论逻辑结构研究——从伦理人格主义哲学角度看民法总论逻辑结构的发展

民法总论逻辑结构不但使民法总论能够避免沦为概念和原则的简单堆砌,而且还是民法总论"内在体系"和"外在体系"融合的桥梁,它已成为现代民法学的基石。学界对其论述颇多但缺少法哲学基础,拟从伦理人格主义哲学入手来探寻民法总论逻辑结构的发展规律,为构建具有中国特色民法总论,进而为我国未来民法典的制定略尽绵力。     

裁判文书援引学说的基本原理与规则建构

学说的内容实质正当性及其约束法官自由裁量空间的外观进而增强裁判可接受性的功能,是裁判文书援引学说的基本原理,也是建构援引规则的出发点。学说根据其竞争力可以分为通说、主流说、少数说,法官既可以援引通说也可以援引非通说;援引非通说应当成为援引的主流。法官在援引学说时应尽量采用对话技术,尤其是在援引通说时应尽量避免对学说进行大篇幅的"复制与粘贴";应尽量援引不同体裁的代表性作品以体现学说的数量优势外观。学者姓名承担了标识学术产品的质量担保功能、"商誉"功能与司法修辞功能,学说出处具有定位学者学说发展脉络等功能,援引学说须注明姓名与出处。裁判文书援引学术作品实质上是法官"购买"学术产品的行为,它将刺激处于供给侧的学者主动生产实务所需的产品,继而促成学术与实务的良性互动。最高人民法院可以考虑出台有关裁判文书援引学说的具体规则指引。     

青少年犯罪成因心理学研究新进展

青少年犯罪问题及其成因是各国普遍关注的焦点,也是犯罪成因研究的主要领域.青少年犯罪的成因相当复杂,已经广泛涉及到了生物神经科学、心理学、社会学、经济学以及政策等层面,迄今还没有令各方一致满意的定论.作为犯罪行为产生的最直接的因素--心理层面的理论研究则是青少年犯罪成因研究中非常有特色的领域.近年来,青少年犯罪成因理论研究逐渐采取了科际整合的观点,结合各领域各个学科的研究对各类青少年犯罪进行研究.青少年危险模式包括了社区、家庭和个人等因素,提供了多元化的取向.我国的学者长期囿于传统的横断研究,鲜有对青少年犯罪进行纵贯研究者,需要进行青少年犯罪纵贯研究的尝试与探索.     

跨文化翻译维护国家文化安全的策略研究

全球化进程既是机遇亦是挑战，世界格局也因此而发生了深刻的变革。机遇意味着发展，不同文化之间的竞争也随之愈演愈烈。在不同文明的交融和碰撞中，国家文化的安全问题凸显出来。国际格局呈现出多极化趋势，文化间的交流与合作是时代的潮流，但是国际环境依然存在不确定性因素，威胁世界和平的单边主义、霸权主义和强权政治等国际因素依然活跃。复杂多变的国际形势要求维护国家文化安全，跨文化翻译涉及文化间的交流，对文化安全负有责任。跨文化翻译工作者应当树立起文化安全意识，并将其与跨文化语境意识结合起来，从国家文化安全的立场出发，提升翻译的语言水平，尊重文化差异，灵活运用“归化”和“异化”的翻译策略，形成具有中国文化特色的英语表达模式。跨文化翻译事业要重点塑造和维护国家形象，积极参与国际对话，提升中国的国际话语权，还要吸收其他国家优秀的文化成果，增强中国文化的国际影响力和感召力，打破“沉默的螺旋”。跨文化翻译要始终坚持中国传统文化的民族性和先进性。在推进翻译事业的过程中，维护中国语言文字安全、风俗习惯安全、价值观安全和生活方式安全，从而全面提升中国文化的软实力，坚定中国模式和文化产品的自信心。跨文化翻译事业将融入中国走向世界的进程，通过对精品文化的内外流通严格把关，为国家的文化安全建设保驾护航。     

马克思主义中国化的脉络梳理——基于不同时期中共对待马克思主义态度变化的分析简

基于不同时期中共对待马克思主义态度变化的分析，马克思主义中国化的发展脉络为：1919年～1948年，由传播马克思主义到与中国实际相结合揭开了马克思主义中国化的序幕；1949年～1977年，跳出苏联模式樊篱继续推进马克思主义开始了马克思主义中国化的新尝试；1978年至今，包容异质思维、切准主体诉求柘展了马克思主义中国化向时代化大众化的延伸。

略论《民法总则》中自然物权与法律物权之并立

我国《民法总则》诉讼时效也适用于未经登记的动产的返还请求权,时效期间届满经提出抗辩后,存在原返还义务人自愿履行的情况,而此时自然债并不适宜用来概括此种情形,由此有提出自然物权的必要。自然物权与自然债一并构成民法上特殊的自然权利义务关系。对自然物权不应赋予更多的法律效力,自然物权状态下围绕该物应存在相应的法律物权,二者处于并立关系,但并不违背"一物一权"法理。自然物权弥补了理论不足,体现公平与效率之间的张力,在民事关系的调整中实现了道德与法律作用的完美融合,彰显了民法治理社会关系的多样性。     

General Motor Holden's closure in Playford,South Australia: Analysis of the policy response and its implications for health

Deindustrialisation and the closure of automotive manufacturing can differentially affect the socioeconomic prospects of workers and their communities, and contribute to social and health inequity. We used Bacchi's problematisation approach to examine the South Australian (SA) Labor government's policy responses to the General Motors Holden (GMH) Elizabeth plant closure announcement. We focused on the way that these policy responses framed the ‘problem’ of this major economic shock, particularly the extent to which potential social and health equity consequences were addressed. We found a narrow focus on economic strategies, neglecting the compounding impact of poverty in Playford, which may exacerbate health inequity. The community effects from the GMH closure remain uncertain and may be delayed for several years. SA requires better integrated social and economic policies to minimise social and health inequalities, as the consequences of the car manufacturing loss are realised.
