Public Participation and Environmental Impact Assessment in Mainland China and Taiwan: Political Foundations of Environmental Management

This article explores the role of agro-ecological factors associated with agricultural growth and poverty outcomes in India. Using a new operationalisation of agro-ecological factors and incorporating within-State variations in poverty and other variables we show that agricultural growth and poverty reduction appear to depend on underlying agro-ecological conditions which are favourable to the spread of irrigation and hence agricultural development, which in turn in associated with poverty reduction. Promotion of agriculture in less favoured areas in unlikely to have similar effects on agriculture in less favoured areas is unlikely to have similar effects on agricultural growth even if the effects of agricultural growth on poverty remain similar, unless conditions for irrigation are favourable or rainfall is sufficiently abundant and reliable. This suggests that considerable caution may be needed in drawing policy conclusions from empirical analysis by state alone, and without regard to their underlying factor endowments.     

政府权力市场化的经济法规制

政府是经济发展和社会运行的调控者和参与者。政府权力的行使是实现民生和发展目标的重要路径,但存在自利属性和权力市场化倾向,主要表现为投资行为的越位、经济角色的错位、公共产品供给的缺位。这些问题产生的主要根源是制度供给不力或不足,使政府较容易利用掌握的公共行政权力谋取利益。经济法因其法益目标和干预手段的特殊性,天然地具有对权力行为进行调适的能力。故而,在考量和整合多重利益范畴的基础上,构建完善的经济法规制策略,是克服政府权力市场化的可行路径。     

环境监管行政责任实现不能及其成因分析

环境监管行政责任实现不能,是指因多种因素的制约或影响,行政责任追究主体对已经客观存在的、应依法追究行政责任的环境监管违法行为,不追究或者不能追究行政责任的情形 它是当今中国环境行政责任实现方面所存在的最为突出、危害性最大的问题,也是制约我国环境监管实效的重要因素之一导致环境监管行政责任实现不能的原因复杂而多元,其中环境监管行政责任制度严重缺失、环境监管及其行政责任实现的体制障碍、传统发展观与政绩观的阻却、以“官本位”为代表的传统思想观念的束缚、行政伦理失范的影响等是最直接的原因.     

系统重要性金融机构监管的国际法制构建与中国回应

作为金融市场的一类特殊参与主体,系统重要性金融机构(SIFIs)具有负外部性,容易引发系统性风险与巨大政府救助成本。在传统的微观审慎监管体制之下,SIFIs的负外部性得不到充分处置,由此导致金融体系乃至实体经济的稳定受到严重威胁,2008年的全球金融危机充分暴露出传统金融监管法制的重大缺陷。在后危机时代,国际社会正在力图构建新型法制,对SIFIs实施专门监管,以防范金融系统性风险和危机。新型监管法制的构建围绕SIFIs的合理识别、强化监管以及有效处置这三个方面展开。我国应积极参与SIFIs监管的国际法制构建工作,同时积极构建与我国金融业现实情况相符的对SIFIs监管的国内法律制度。     

Reforming security industry training standards: an Australian case study

ABSTRACT

This article critiques recent developments in training in the Australian security industry. Regulation of the industry is state- and territory-based, with eight jurisdictions enacting purpose-built legislation. Training was a key area of reform in the 1990s and early 2000s, but standards remained fragmented until 2008 when the Committee of Australian Governments agreed on a national competency framework to be implemented by 2010. However, despite the adoption of a common curriculum for core security tasks, the project derailed spectacularly in terms of consistency of standards, as revealed by a number of major inquiries and associated sources. This article analyses the reasons for this situation and recommends an alternative model to optimise competency standards in security work that includes much greater specificity in hours of instruction and in teaching and assessment methods. The lessons from this study have wider application given that deficits in security training appear to be a common problem internationally.     

脑钠尿肽的表达调控机制及其法医学应用

脑钠尿肽是主要由心肌细胞分泌的钠尿肽类激素,通常在心肌细胞受到牵拉时产生,具有利钠、利尿、舒张血管、调节血压等功能。临床上BNP是反映心功能的重要指标之一,近年的研究表明,BNP在法医学中对心源性猝死的诊断也具有十分重要的价值。本文综述了BNP的分子结构、表达调控及法医学应用的进展。     

Law clinics in England and Wales: a regulatory black hole

There has been very limited consideration to date of how the regulatory environment in England and Wales impacts on university law clinics and the solicitors who run them. This paper sets out the current regulatory framework pertaining to university law clinics and explains the restrictions and limitations it poses. It highlights the current failure on the part of the regulators to meet their statutory duty to promote access to justice in relation to university pro bono services and sets out a series of recommendations as to how clinicians and regulators can secure a more certain and enabling future for clinics.

New directions in information technology law: learning from human–computer interaction

ABSTRACT

Effectively regulating the domestic Internet of Things (IoT) requires a turn to technology design. However, the role of designers as regulators still needs to be situated. By drawing on a specific domain of technology design, human–computer interaction (HCI), we unpack what an HCI-led approach can offer IT law. By reframing the three prominent design concepts of provenance, affordances and trajectories, we offer new perspectives on the regulatory challenges of the domestic IoT. Our HCI concepts orientate us towards the social context of technology. We argue that novel regulatory strategies can emerge through a better understanding of the relationships and interactions between designers, end users and technology. Accordingly, closer future alignment of IT law and HCI approaches is necessary for effective regulation of emerging technologies.     

代孕行为之民法思考

代孕技术作为现代科技发展的成果,为不孕夫妇带来了福音,同时也给社会伦理道德和法律制度带来了冲击.不孕夫妇的生育权和代理母亲的身体权为代孕行为提供了合法性基础,代孕协议使代孕行为权利义务关系更加确定.法律不应对代孕行为一味禁止,而应当面对问题合理规制,发挥其公益性初衷,遏制其危害性.
