From Criminal Law to Legal Theory: The Mysterious Case of the Reasonable Glue Sniffer

The modern idea of criminal justice is organised around a series of antinomies which include the formal and the substantive, the universal and the particular, the individual and the social. This paper examines the place of these antinomies in four different but connected settings: the plight of the humane judge, the classical enlightenment theory of retributive punishment, the judgment of provoked killing, and the critique of orthodox subjectivism in the Anglo–American law. The play of the universal and the particular and the formal and substantive within law reflects and embodies the underlying antinomy of the individual and the social – even where it does not mention it.
The qualitative moment is preserved in all quantification, as the substrate of that which is to be quantified.     

普遍管辖原则及其适用若干问题浅析

本文分析了目前国际法理论界的热点问题——普遍管辖原则,并就存在争议较大的几个问题:普遍管辖原则的地位,是否需要实际控制,国内法以及豁免结合案例提出了个人观点。     

教育与常识

“经验”和“常识”这两个范畴与知识来源、知识的存在状态密切相关。经验、常识、理性和语言逻辑共同建构了人类文化积淀中的各种知识论体系,不管这种知识论体系是“真”是“伪”,都能形成强大的生命力,对教育和人的心智产生影响。因此,教育者和受教育者都必须时刻警惕各种既定的常识和知识论。常识的各种说法和知识论的任何逻辑体系,只有分解成符合健全心智要求并能支撑健康的社会运作的各种准则,才能变成健全的人性追求的普遍价值。     

论美国《金融服务现代化法》对我国金融监管立法的启示

《金融服务现代化法》是美国金融法史上一部重大、意义深远的法律,其许多规定对世界各国金融立法和金融监管发展方向产生重要影响。它在金融业实现混业经营前提下所确立的功能监管原则给中国金融监督立法带来有益的启示。中国金融监管立法应考虑构建统一基本法,引入功能监管、双线多头监管制。     

论海盗罪普遍管辖权机制的局限性与变革

对国际社会来说,海盗仍然是一种严重威胁,尤其是在索马里地区,海盗异常猖獗。由于海盗对国际贸易和世界安全的破坏,对海盗罪的普遍管辖权已得到各国的普遍承认,但现行国际法关于海盗罪的规定却存在许多＂空白＂,普遍管辖权不能涵盖所有的海盗行为,因此,国际法应该进行相应的变革以应对海盗的威胁。这些变革应包括对海盗罪重新定义,建立危险海域的护航机制,推动区域性打击海盗机制的建立及由安理会提供必要的授权。     

普遍服务理念下公共医疗卫生服务的法律调整

我国公共医疗卫生服务发展失范所引致该领域存在的诸多问题,在根源上归结于:在价值层面是"普遍服务"理念的缺失,在机制层面则是政府与市场双重失灵共同作用的结果。经济法因具备特有的赋权与限权的双重性质而成为调整公共医疗卫生服务这一领域的重要法律,可以通过对现有经济法资源的整合,适用、制定、修订或细化相关法律法规,构造保障公共医疗卫生服务领域实现"普遍服务"理念的法律规范体系,促进"普遍服务"理念的贯彻,推动新一轮医疗卫生体制改革顺利进行。     

基于通用报告引物的5个Y-SNP复合扩增及其单倍型

目的建立一种简便、经济、高效的SNP复合扩增体系,为法医学应用打下方法学基础。方法选择5个Y-SNP位点——IMS-JST164520、IMS-JST021354、IMS-JST003305、M119和M134,针对每一位点设计5′端带有通用报告引物(universal reporter primer,URP)的等位基因特异性引物,先利用等位基因特异性PCR技术扩增不同位点的等位基因片段,再利用荧光标记的URP扩增检测所有位点的等位基因。结果成功构建了5个Y-SNP荧光复合扩增体系,分型结果显示:同一SNP位点的两个不同等位基因表现为不同颜色的产物峰,不同SNP位点间等位基因片段长度不同。5个Y-SNP在武汉汉族群体中的单倍型多样性为0.8655。结论基于URP的SNP复合扩增体系具有简便、经济、高效的特点,具有较高的法医学应用价值。     

Accelerating down a Road to Nowhere: On Inventing the Future by Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams

In Inventing the Future, Nick Srnicek and Alex Williams implore those on the left not to fear automation but rather to harness it in order to overturn neoliberalism. However, their argument is built upon a controversial philosophy which goes unnamed in the body of the text: accelerationism, the first principles of which would overthrow the very understanding of human nature on which Western democracy has operated for centuries. Their vision also entails a way of doing politics and designing policy which radically differs from representative democracy and grassroots movements as they seek to engineer consent and to form a revolutionary vanguard—not just to overthrow capitalism, but to embark on a journey of continually re-engineering humanity itself.     

School-based Stress Management Training for Adolescents: Longitudinal Results from an Experimental Study

This study aimed to investigate the effectiveness of a school-based universal preventive stress management training program for early and middle adolescents in comparison with a no-treatment control group. The study examined the intervention effects of age (early versus middle adolescents) and gender on perceived stress, interpersonal coping, and self-efficacy prior, immediately after as well as 3 months after the intervention. Three hundred and twenty adolescents (ages 10–14 years) participated in the study. Whereas both experimental conditions did not differ substantially in baseline scores, the experimental group scored higher on perceived self-efficacy compared to the control group at the follow-up assessment. Additionally, the experimental group showed less perceived stress and more adaptive coping at the post and follow-up assessment. Age-dependent intervention effects suggested that early adolescents primarily benefited from the treatment. Although the effects must be replicated using a randomized design, the current findings reveal that the program does strengthen important protective factors for the psychosocial development of adolescents.

Cuba's Response to COVID-19: What Underlies its Apparent Success?

Over the last few months extremely positive accounts have been circulating of Cuba's role and approach in the COVID-19 response, both nationally and internationally. A universal healthcare system with family doctors and nurses providing door-to-door services, as well as the swift introduction of measures to control movement have been some of the factors underlying this relative success. However, this success hides the disadvantageous social reality facing the majority of Cubans, including differential access to services, a health system that is struggling and limited choice and freedoms.
