关于我国宪政意识缺位及建构问题的思考

由于商品经济的薄弱与自然经济的发达、我国传统文化对宪政核心价值的偏离以及宪法的实际运行情况等经济、文化和现实的原因,导致了我国宪政意识的缺位。为了培育公民的宪政意识,必须大力发展社会主义市场经济,加强社会主义民主政治建设,保证司法的独立性和公正性,保障宪法实施,建立健全我国的违宪审查机制,从而构建宪政意识的经济基础、政治基础、司法基础和制度基础。     

Municipality size,political efficacy and political participation: a systematic review

ABSTRACT

It is an old adage that local government is a training ground for democracy. Its human scale means that political amateurs can contribute effectively and meaningfully to the politics of a state. But in a political climate seemingly driven to consolidate local government into ever larger units, can a not so local local government still elicit an efficacious and participatory citizenry? This paper explores the effect of municipality population size on two important aspects of democratic culture: political efficacy and political participation. Via a two-part systematic review, the paper examines how extant empirical literature bears on the relationship between size and both of these aspects, hypothesising that political efficacy plays a mediating role between size and participation. The findings are unequivocal: citizens of smaller municipalities feel a greater sense of political efficacy and participate to a greater degree in local politics.     

民法典高空抛物致害责任规则的体系性解读:局限与克服

高空抛物致害责任自入法之日起即饱受批评,又因司法适用中存在一定漏洞而引发质疑。将高空抛物致害责任置于不确定加害人责任框架下进行体系性解读,有利于重新认识和评估立法上设定这一责任规则的正当性和局限性。不确定加害人责任既不符合固有侵权责任构成理论的预期,也未遵循传统诉讼理论在证明责任上的一贯立场,为了缓和其内在局限和避免发生泛用,须就不确定被告的范围、责任形式及举证负担等适用条件作出限制。立法上设定高空抛物致害责任规则时亦应注意其局限克服。我国民法典第1254条通过修正和完善其适用条件,深化了侵权责任法第87条确立的限制观念,具有明显的进步性。然而,民法典作为一部基本法,其规定难以包罗万象,高空抛物致害责任规则的适用漏洞仍需要通过司法解释、基于法官的个案经验进行填补。     

栅格特征在打印文件检验中的应用研究

目的通过对打印文字栅格特征进行实验研究,总结其稳定性和易引起特征变化的因素,为二次添加打印和换页变造文件检验探索新的思路。方法以500个常用汉字为主要研究对象,选用不同品牌、不同型号激光打印机,设置不同分辨率或质量模式,用同一台电脑或不同台电脑安装不同驱动程序,打印中易宋体常用字不同字号的样本。通过对打印文字笔画细节特征进行比对分析,总结打印文字栅格特征的规律特点。结果打印文字存在三类栅格特征,一是横笔段厚度特征,二是竖笔段宽度特征,三是斜笔画阶梯特征。同一台打印机一次打印的文件,相同字体字号文字的栅格特征反映相同;不同打印机或同一台打印机连接不同版本操作系统的电脑,或安装不同驱动程序,或选择不同的打印分辨率,栅格特征可能发生变化。结论栅格特征在同一次打印的文件中具有稳定性,在不同硬件和软件环境下可能发生改变,可以为换页文件和二次添加打印文件检验提供新的思路。     

共有不动产执行中的争议处理——兼论执行立法草案相关条文的内容构成

共有不动产的执行是实务中的难点之一。其难处主要在于如何处理“析产”所引发的种种争议,对于这些争议的处理解决往往牵涉到“执行程序与诉讼程序”“执行部门的诉讼与另行起诉”“查封阶段与处置阶段”等因素的选择组合,在理论上则存在着“形式审查说”与“有限实质审查说”之观点分歧。以夫妻共有不动产的执行为研究重点,在梳理执行实务中常见应对方式的基础上,就相关争议的处理解决及基本程序的构建进行分析,并对民事强制执行立法草案既有的若干方案作出评价。     

Firearm examination: Examiner judgments and computer‐based comparisons

Forensic firearm examination provides the court of law with information about the source of fired cartridge cases. We assessed the validity of source decisions of a computer‐based method and of 73 firearm examiners who compared breechface and firing pin impressions of 48 comparison sets. We also compared the computer‐based method's comparison scores with the examiners' degree‐of‐support judgments and assessed the validity of the latter. The true‐positive rate (sensitivity) and true‐negative rate (specificity) of the computer‐based method (for the comparison of both the breechface and firing pin impressions) were 94.4% and at least 91.7%, respectively. For the examiners, the true‐positive rate was at least 95.3% and the true‐negative rate was at least 86.2%. The validity of the source decisions improved when the evaluations of breechface and firing pin impressions were combined and for the examiners also when the perceived difficulty of the comparison decreased. The examiners were reluctant to provide source decisions for "difficult" comparisons even though their source decisions were mostly correct. The correlation between the computer‐based method's comparison scores and the examiners' degree‐of‐support judgments was low for the same‐source comparisons to negligible for the different‐source comparisons. Combining the outcomes of computer‐based methods with the judgments of examiners could increase the validity of firearm examinations. The examiners' numerical degree‐of‐support judgments for their source decisions were not well‐calibrated and showed clear signs of overconfidence. We suggest studying the merits of performance feedback to calibrate these judgments.     

盘查、侦查辨析

“盘查”和“侦查”在词义、适用对象、措施的属性、法律依据等方面都有严格的区分。正确行使盘查权和侦查权 ,对端正执法思想 ,规范执法行为 ,保障公民的合法权益、维护国家法律的尊严具有重要意义。通过对盘问和讯问以及询问的词义辨析 ,对盘查和侦查对象的区分 ,对行政强制措施和侦查措施行为特征和措施性质的判别 ,对盘问笔录、讯问笔录内容的比较 ,以及对盘查和侦查概念的界定等 ,可廓清对盘查和侦查的认识。
