The More Assertive and Pragmatic New Energy Policy in Putin’s Russia: Security Implications for Northeast Asia

The article examines Russia’s New Energy Policy (NEP) and its impact on Northeast Asian security and the development of the Russian Far East. In contrast to analyses highlighting competition between China and Japan for Russian resources, to the contrary it is argued here that greater cooperation among consumer states in Northeast Asia would be beneficial for Russia. Although the NEP has resulted in changes in the composition of foreign investors in Russian energy projects, the author suggests that Moscow is interested in multinational cooperation in the energy sector because it would help diversify the regional energy market and contribute to the development of the Russian Far East and eastern Siberia.

Gender,Culture and the Law: Approaches to ‘Honour Crimes’ in the UK

This article examines the debate on whether to analyse ‘honour crimes’ as gender-based violence, or as cultural tradition, and the effects of either stance on protection from and prevention of these crimes. In particular, the article argues that the categorisation of honour-related violence as primarily cultural ignores its position within the wider spectrum of gender violence, and may result in a number of unfortunate side-effects, including lesser protection of the rights of women within minority communities, and the stigmatisation of those communities. At the same time it is problematic to completely dismiss any cultural aspects of violence against women, and a nuanced approach is required which carefully balances the benefits and detriments of taking cultural factors into account. The article examines the issues within the context of the legal response to cases involving honour-related violence, arguing that although the judiciary has in a number of cases inclined towards viewing ‘honour’ as primarily cultural rather than patriarchal, in some cases they have begun to take a more gender-based or ‘mature multiculturalism’ approach.

论领导者的魅力修养

领导魅力是一种诚于内而形于外的特殊品质,领导魅力如何,直接影响到与被领导者的关系,影响到被领导者的追随程度,最终影响到领导工作的效能。因此,要通过塑造崇高人格增强魅力;通过做“官”、做人和做事增强魅力;通过严守“官德”要求增强魅力：把握魅力展示的辩证关系增强魅力。     

加减薯蓣丸治疗轻中度肾精亏虚证老年期痴呆的磁共振波谱研究

目的 采用氢质子磁共振波谱（1H magnetic resonance spectroscopy,1H MRS）检查结合神经心理学量表的方法,评价加减薯蓣丸对老年期痴呆患者的治疗效果。方法 收集2015年12月至2017年4月湖北省中医院脑病科及老年病科的血管性痴呆（vascular dementia,VD）及阿尔茨海默病（Alzheimers disease,AD）肾精亏虚证患者各20例,另选认知功能正常者20例作为对照组。入选老年期痴呆患者在内科治疗的基础上予以加减薯蓣丸治疗。对老年期痴呆患者治疗前后及对照组受试者进行简易精神状态评价量表（mini mental state examination,MMSE）、日常生活能力量表（activities of daily living,ADL）、痴呆证候分型量表（syndromes differentiation scale for dementia,SDSD）评估及1H MRS检查。结果 加减薯蓣丸显著升高VD及AD患者降低的MMSE评分（P＜0.05）,降低其升高的SDSD评分（P＜0.05）,但对ADL评分的改善作用无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。1H MRS检查表明,加减薯蓣丸显著升高VD和AD患者双侧额叶下降的N 乙酰天门冬氨酸（N aspart acetyl,NAA）/肌酸（creatine,Cr）水平（P＜0.05）,而降低双侧额叶升高的胆碱复合物（choline,Cho）/Cr作用无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。加减薯蓣丸对VD患者和AD患者MMSE、SDSD、ADL评分和双侧额叶NAA/Cr、Cho/Cr的作用差异无统计学意义（P＞0.05）。结论 加减薯蓣丸改善轻中度老年期痴呆患者认知功能的机制可能与促进损伤的神经细胞修复有关。     

程氏蠲痹汤的抗炎镇痛作用

目的 观察新安医家经典名方程氏蠲痹汤的抗炎镇痛作用。方法 利用热板法检测小鼠痛阈,采用二甲苯、角叉菜胶和弗氏完全佐剂分别复制小鼠耳肿胀模型、大鼠急性炎症和慢性炎症模型;观察程氏蠲痹汤对小鼠痛阈、耳肿胀率的影响及其对大鼠足肿胀率、屈关节疼痛的影响。结果 20.40、10.20 g/kg程氏蠲痹汤可显著提高小鼠的痛阈,降低二甲苯引起的耳肿胀度（P＜0.05）;且10.20、5.10 g/kg程氏蠲痹汤可显著缓解大鼠急性、慢性炎性足肿胀,减轻其屈关节疼痛（P＜0.05）。结论 程氏蠲痹汤对动物急性、慢性炎症具有较好的抗炎镇痛作用。     

当代中国卫生防疫体系建设及其经验

当代中国卫生防疫体系是在战争、贫困和疫病的困扰下逐渐起步的。面对旧时代遗留下来的薄弱卫生工作基础,在毛泽东等老一辈党和国家领导人的部署和领导下,全国上下齐心协力,攻坚克难,初步创建了中华人民共和国卫生防疫体系。改革开放以来,中国经济快速发展的同时,卫生防疫体系逐步在完善,并且经历了从单一的卫生防疫向全面的疾病防控,再到以"人民健康为中心"的两次较为明显的演变。经过七十多年的建设,我们科学防疫精神的实践理性得到发扬,取得丰富的经验,使我们的卫生防疫体系在抗击新冠肺炎疫情中发挥实质作用。     

传媒监督权行使如何法治——从“宜黄事件”切入

"宜黄事件"是一起因传媒监督而具有法律意义的典型事件。对该起事件的调研及对相关新闻内容的梳理表明,其传媒监督权行使的信息基础存在瑕疵,有违新闻报道的基本要求;相关传媒也未能坚持中立的立场,报导中未能做到尽可能的客观公正,未能兼顾冲突双方的话语权。因此,该案传媒监督权的行使出现了法治偏差。这与传媒介入的特性有关,更与传媒追求商业利益的倾向有关。社会和公共领域中的政治力量,也可能影响传媒监督权的立场。承担公共表达职能的传媒,是现代法治国家共同价值的维系纽带之一,因此需要平衡商业利益和政治力量的制约,塑造传媒监督的健康立场。这可以通过职业伦理约束和法律规范的共同作用来实现。     

司法人道主义的历史进步——晚清司法改革的价值变向

作为对外部挑战与内部情势的司法回应,晚清修律和司法改革运动首先意味着司法理念与司法原则的历史性转变,进而标志着一种区别于传统司法文明价值系统的近代型司法文明价值系统的应运而生,展示了从传统走向现代的司法文明进步成长的历史图景。这场司法变革运动的启动性举措,乃是删除最重之法,推行恤刑庶狱,彰显了司法人道主义的价值取向,从而为编订《大清现行刑律》和《大清新刑律》奠定了重要基础,在近代中国法律与司法发展进程中产生了深远影响。     

Our wildest imagination: violence,narrative, and sympathetic identification

ABSTRACT

At this polarizing moment in American politics identifying with the experiences of others feels especially difficult, but it is vital for sharing a world in common. Scholars in a variety of disciplines have argued that narratives, and especially literary ones, can help us cultivate this capacity by soliciting sympathetic identification with particular characters. In doing so, narratives can help us to be more ethically and political responsive to other human beings. This is a limited view of the potential for narratives to solicit sympathetic identification, and it prevents us from identifying and grappling with our resistances to identifying with others. In this article I propose a more expansive view – inspired by Elizabeth Costello, a character in JM Coetzee’s novel of the same name – that there are no bounds to our capacities for sympathetic identification. Through critical readings of Waiting for the Barbarians and Animal Farm I explore the possibility that we might identify with people who cause others to suffer, and perhaps even with animals too. Both sorts of identification engender fierce resistance. Identifying with those who cause suffering demands that we grapple with our own capacities for cruelty and violence. Identifying with animals demands that we confront what is animal in ourselves – the perilous instincts that, unmoderated, incline us to aggression. Acknowledging and working through – without rejecting or disavowing – our capacities for cruelty and our animal instincts is necessary for the practices of sympathetic identification upon which sharing a world depends.
