The CLSR-LSPI Seminar – ‘The future of privacy regulation in the online world’

The annual CLSR-LSPI Seminar (www.lspi.net) took place on 19 September 2011 at the Sixth Legal, Security & Privacy Issues in IT Conference (LSPI) at University of Nicosia, Cyprus. The event, led by Prof. Steve Saxby, Editor-in-Chief of CLSR, invited contributions from five legal specialists on a variety of current issues dealing with the future of privacy. A lively discussion took place amongst those present after each intervention. The reports of those who presented are recorded below.     

加味肝豆汤联合二巯丙磺钠驱铜治疗对湿热内蕴型Wilson病脂质代谢和胆汁酸的影响

目的 观察加味肝豆汤联合二巯丙磺钠（sodium dimercaptosulphonate,DMPS）驱铜治疗对湿热内蕴型Wilson病（Wilsons disease,WD）患者血脂和胆汁酸的影响。方法 将60例湿热内蕴型WD患者随机分为治疗组和对照组,每组30例。治疗组予加味肝豆汤联合DMPS驱铜治疗,对照组则单独予DMPS驱铜治疗。每个疗程8 d,共4个疗程。各疗程中前6 d予以DMPS驱铜治疗,后2 d予以10%葡萄糖酸钙20 mL静脉滴注补钙。治疗前后分别评定湿热内蕴证积分并比较两组中医症候疗效,检测血清总胆固醇（total cholesterol,TC）、三酰甘油（triglyceride,TG）、高密度脂蛋白胆固醇（high density lipoprotein cholesterol,HDL C）、低密度脂蛋白胆固醇（low density lipoprotein cholesterol,LDL C）、胆汁酸（bile acid,BA）、丙氨酸氨基转移酶（alanine transferase,ALT）、天冬氨酸氨基转移酶（aspartate transferase,AST）、γ 谷氨酰转移酶（γ glutamyl transferase,GGT）水平和24 h尿铜水平,并检查血常规、尿常规、粪常规、肝功能、肾功能、心电图等安全性指标。结果 与治疗前比较,两组患者治疗后湿热内蕴证积分均显著降低（P<0.05）,治疗组下降程度显著大于对照组（P<0.05）;治疗组中医证候疗效明显优于对照组（P<0.05）;治疗后两组患者血清TC、TG、LDL C、BA、ALT、AST和GGT水平均较治疗前显著降低（P<0.05）,两组患者血清HDL C水平均较治疗前显著上升（P<0.05）,且治疗组患者血清TC、LDL C、BA、ALT、AST、GGT水平降低程度和血清HDL C水平升高程度显著大于对照组（P < 0.05）;与治疗前比较,第2、4个疗程末两组患者24 h尿铜水平均显著升高（P<0.05）,第4个疗程末治疗组24 h尿铜水平显著高于对照组（P<0.05）。结论 加味肝豆汤联合DMPS驱铜治疗对湿热内蕴型WD疗效显著,且可改善脂质代谢,降低血清BA水平。     

中药保留灌肠治疗慢性肾功能衰竭临床研究

目的观察大黄龙骨牡蛎汤保留灌肠治疗慢性肾衰竭(chronic renal failure,CRF)脾肾气虚证的临床疗效。方法将41例非透析CRF患者随机分为治疗组和对照组,对照组21例给予一般治疗,治疗组20例在对照组治疗的基础上加大黄龙骨牡蛎汤灌肠治疗,2周为1个疗程,共治疗2个疗程。观察比较两组患者临床疗效、中医症状评分以及血尿素氮(blood urea nitrogen,BUN)、血清肌酐(serum creatinine,SCr)、肾小球滤过率(glomerular filtration rate,GFR)、24小时尿蛋白定量(24-hour urinary protein quantity,24hPr)、白蛋白(albumin,ALB)、血清总蛋白(serum total protein,TP)、血红蛋白(hemoglobin,Hb)水平。结果两组患者临床疗效分布比较,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。与治疗前比较,对照组治疗效果不明显(P>0.05),治疗组水肿、倦怠乏力、腰膝酸软、气短懒言、脘腹胀满、口淡不渴评分均有明显降低(P<0.05)。治疗后治疗组食少纳呆、倦怠乏力、腰膝酸软、气短懒言、脘腹胀满、口淡不渴评分下降幅度均显著大于对照组(P<0.05)。与治疗前比较,对照组各指标水平均无明显改变(P>0.05);治疗组BUN、SCr水平均明显下降(P<0.05),GFR、Hb水平均明显升高(P<0.05)。治疗组BUN、SCr降低值,GFR升高值均显著大于对照组(P<0.05)。结论在西医治疗基础上合用大黄龙骨牡蛎汤灌肠,能够改善患者肾功能,提高CRF的临床疗效。     

降黄散熏蒸治疗湿热内蕴型新生儿黄疸55例

目的 观察降黄散熏蒸治疗湿热内蕴型新生儿黄疸的临床疗效及安全性。方法 将110例黄疸新生儿按区组随机法分为治疗组和对照组,每组55例。两组患儿均接受蓝光照射,治疗组加用降黄散熏蒸治疗,对照组加用茵栀黄颗粒口服,均治疗5 d,观察两组临床疗效及安全性。结果 两组临床疗效比较,差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。治疗后两组患儿血清总胆红素水平均较治疗前明显降低（P＜0.05）,两组治疗前后血清总胆红素差值比较,差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。治疗组患儿黄疸消退时间较对照组明显缩短（P＜0.05）,不良反应发生率明显低于对照组（P＜0.05）。结论 降黄散熏蒸治疗湿热内蕴型新生儿黄疸具有黄疸消退时间短、不良反应少、疗效显著的优势。     

Is an Early Start the Best Start?: Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Political Science Summer Bridge Program

Summer bridge programs are supposed to connect a graduating high school senior’s summer to their first semester in college, easing the transition away from home and into a university setting. Although research is plentiful on the programs, assessments regarding the overall effectiveness of such programs have been mixed (e.g., Cabrera, Miner, and Milem 2013 Cabrera, Nolan, Danielle Miner, and Jeffrey Milem. 2013. “Can A Summer Bridge Program Impact First-Year Persistence And Performance?: A Case Study Of The New Start Summer Program.” Research in Higher Education 54(5): 481–498.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Douglas and Attewell 2014 Douglas, Daniel, and Paul Attewell. 2014. “The Bridge and the Troll Underneath: Summer Bridge Programs and Degree Completion.” American Journal of Education 121(1): 87–109.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]; Grayson 2003 Grayson, J. Paul. 2003. “The Consequences of Early Adjustment to University.” Higher Education 46(4): 411–429.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]). As Cabrera, Miner, and Milem (2013 Cabrera, Nolan, Danielle Miner, and Jeffrey Milem. 2013. “Can A Summer Bridge Program Impact First-Year Persistence And Performance?: A Case Study Of The New Start Summer Program.” Research in Higher Education 54(5): 481–498.[Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) note, many of the studies collect data from participants in a one-time satisfaction survey and/or do not have an equivalent group of students who did not participate in the program from which to compare effectiveness. Our proposed study mitigates these flaws by employing a nonequivalent-groups quasi-experiment (NEG). Our bridge program—called Early Start (ES)— tapped into social, emotional, and academic engagement, as we sought to integrate the students into the university and school communities while holding high expectations and actively involving them in their own learning (Tinto 2004 Tinto, Vincent. 2004. Student Retention and Graduation-Facing the Truth, Living with the Consequences. Washington, DC: The Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education. [Google Scholar]). Results suggest that not only were students enrolled in our program better socially and emotionally integrated into the university during their first year but they also scored better on content-based political science questions at the end of the fall semester, compared to their non-Early Start peers. Finally, aggregated data indicate an increase in retention for Early Start participants.     

死刑废除论的误区

死刑废除论已经成为中国当代刑法学界的主流意识.流行的观点不一定就是颠扑不破的真理.死刑废除论这座炫目的大厦竟然矗立在薄冰之上,其理论基础存在许多误区.     

对嫖宿幼女罪存废的法理思考——以维护幼女合法权益为视角

随着习水8·15案件的发生。对“嫖宿幼女罪”罪名存废的争议再次引起社会的关注，从维护幼女合法权益的视角．应将保护幼女身心健康作为选择嫖宿幼女罪存废的最高价值目标，并基于此价值导向废止嫖宿幼女罪的罪名，而统一归入《刑法》第236条所规定的强奸罪。     

英国警务信息复查、保留与清理制度及其借鉴意义

随着我国公安信息化建设的不断深入,公安机关收集了海量的警务信息,不但产生了大容量信息的存储困难,同时也造成储存管理的复杂化和成本不断上升。英国警方建立了比较完善的警务信息复查、保留与清理制度,明确了这一制度的法律依据,确立了必须、足够、准确和最新、不过度原则等四项原则,详细规定了信息复查的形式、流程及审计监督等制度。借鉴英国警务信息复查、保留与清理制度,对我国稳步推进公安信息化建设十分有益。     

Data retention in the UK: Pragmatic and proportionate,or a step too far?

On 6 April 2009 new legislation came into force, for the first time putting Internet service providers' duty to retain significant amounts of data (relating to customers' email and Internet usage) on a compulsory, as opposed to a voluntary footing. It is a topic which has provoked intense protest from the privacy lobby and fuelled months of “Big Brother” headlines in the press. For the industry it raises operational challenges – how to facilitate storage and retrieval of colossal amounts of data. In this article we consider the policy background to the regime, the detail of the UK implementation and the practical implications for communications service providers. We weigh up the privacy and human rights concerns against the business case put forward by the Government. We also examine the Government's proposals – announced at the end of April – to significantly extend and “future proof” this regime in the form of its Intercept Modernisation Programme.     

A Multi-Level Conceptual Model to Examine Child Welfare Worker Turnover and Retention Decisions

There is little disagreement about the importance of a healthy stable workforce in promoting effective provision of child welfare services. This review proposes a multi-level conceptual model of child welfare workforce turnover combining traditional individual and organizational impacts with factors associated with community context. Identified gaps in the literature along with a related research agenda are reviewed. Also presented is an overview of the Florida Study of Professionals for Safe Families, a longitudinal study of new hires into the child welfare workforce across Florida, providing opportunities to address gaps and test model characteristics regarding turnover decisions and related outcomes.
