亲子关系诉讼中的血缘鉴定之强制性

在亲子关系纷争中,以血缘亲子关系是否真实存在为其主要争点,而这种真实性的确认通常需借助于血型或DNA等血缘鉴定等科学方式。然而,血缘鉴定需要相关当事人配合以提供血液或毛发等为科学鉴定之样本,如此就牵涉到当事人的人格权保护、血统真实主义、裁判公正需要等价值权衡下的选择、取舍。参仿国外并立足国情,以子女最佳利益保护为根本,适应诉讼上的真实发现与裁判公正之需要,对血缘鉴定于具体个案实践中的正当性与必要性两方面结合为考量,可以采用强度程度不一、具体方式多样对血缘鉴定对执行以灵活处理。     

受贿罪利益要件的认定

受贿犯罪是目前最为严重的腐败犯罪之一。不仅扰乱了社会公平和市场经济的正常秩序,而且严重损害了国家工作人员的职务廉洁性和公众对国家机关的信赖程度。其中受贿罪利益要件问题,一直是刑法理论界和司法实务界的热点问题。在分析利益要件时,试通过用短缩的二行为犯理论和"为他人谋取利益"在实践中的功用来解析"为他人谋取利益"要件作为受贿罪的主观要件的观点。     

Somaliland: An African Struggle for Nationhood and International Recognition

This paper investigates the benefits of Chinese companies to the Ugandan economy using data gathered during fieldwork in Kampala. Potential contributions to the Ugandan economy are analysed through a number of economic and managerial factors, and their determinants. This paper shows that potential benefits vary on the basis of sector, investment size and ECCO registration. The potential harm caused by one sector in particular is indicated. The paper presents recommendations regarding how potential benefits can be maximised and harm reduced. Given the increased presence of Chinese enterprises in Africa, these findings are relevant to African policymakers and academics.     

Double Decades of Existence of the Kilum-Ijim Community Forest in Cameroon: What Conservation Lessons?

Abstract

Abstract

At a time when natural forests remain a substantial framework for solving manifold human-induced environmental problems, forest conservation efforts have often been met with a number of challenges, especially in the midst of growing populations of forest-adjacent communities in the developing countries of the world. However, the initiation of the Kilum-Ijim Forest Project in the Western Highland region of Cameroon (erroneously considered to have been a naturally savannized environment) twenty years ago tells a success conservation story. This study, therefore, examines the fate of the Kilum-Ijim Forest prior to the forest conservation project, the conservation efforts put in place to protect and restore the biodiversity of the area, the conservation challenges, and also proposes other areas of intervention for a continuous successful conservation legacy. Due to the constant population pressure and the resultant overexploitation of the Kilum Mountain forest, the original forest size, estimated at 17,500 hectares in 1963, was reduced to 10,500 hectares by 1983. In recognition of the umbilical link between forest and forest-adjacent communities, the Cameroon Government and BirdLife International liaised with the adjacent tribal communities for a sustainable way of managing the forest. While these communities benefit through the non-consumptive use of the forest and other alternative livelihood means, the ecological viabilities of the forest are equally promoted through biodiversity restoration. Due to this community-based management approach, the Kilum-Ijim forest remains an outstanding example of a richly endowed highland montane forest, with a number of endemic wildlife species. Today, conservation efforts have restored the forest size to over 20,000 hectares. Having understood the need for forest conservation and the ensuing conservation benefits, perhaps it is time to increase the forest conservation sites while more alternatives serving human needs are designed and promoted. This conservation legacy should also serve as an example worth emulating in other highland regions with a history of forest degradation.     

对2005年英国《意思能力法》的再解读——以社会工作为视角

2005年英格兰和威尔士颁行的《意思能力法》将判例法的大部分实践奉为准则以保护丧失决策能力的成年人,促进个人自主性以及确保个人能够提前做出拒绝治疗的相关决定.它在需要替欠缺行为能力成年人做主要的身体和福利决定的情形下引入了新的替代决策方式以满足这些需求以及相关特殊主张.2005年《意思能力法》的适用范围从不同的角度得到再次解读,此法与在既定领域以新角色与他人进行合作的社会工作者之间的密切关系得到考察,社会工作者的部分责任得到阐明,研究结论指出：社会工作者具备完美实践的潜力,而这也需要专业的反思与服务监督的支持.     

无固定期限劳动合同“弊端”论之辨析及对策

《劳动合同法》和《劳动合同法实施条例》规定了诸多可以解除无固定期限劳动合同的情形,无固定期限劳动合同不是"铁饭碗";无固定期限劳动合同只是五种形式的合同之一,况且,《劳动合同法》还增加了企业解除合同和裁员的规定,不会导致用工机制僵化;所谓"人力资源成本的增加"实质上是一些违规企业承担了本来就应该承担的义务;《劳动合同法》向劳动者倾斜是实质公平的体现,但并不会因此不保护企业的利益,从长远看,企业和劳动者的利益是一致的。     

论网络虚拟财产的“财产”属性——以刑法规范为视角

随着信息技术的不断发展,“网络虚拟财产”已与现实的生活建立起越来越紧密的联系。如何保护网络虚拟财产在刑法上还是一个盲点。由此导致的社会问题也随之而来。网络虚拟财产具有财产属性和法律意义上的财产权性质,应当包括在刑法保护对象内。我国刑法应严格区分“财物罪”与“利益罪”。     

新农村建设中农村民间组织的角色探讨

社会主义新农村建设是破解"三农"难题,实现国家经济发展和社会稳定的一项重要政策。在新农村建设过程中,随着多中心的治理秩序的逐步确立和政府传统治理模式的转变,农村民间组织获得了参与新农村建设的契机。而农村民间组织在新农村建设中所扮演的"黏合剂"、"主力军"、"蓄水池"和"安全阀"的角色,将会促使其成为新农村建设中的重要力量。     

关于犯罪经济学理性选择理论的一些探讨

犯罪经济学是一门新兴而潜力无限的犯罪学学科,其中的理性选择理论对于犯罪原因的解释虽不适用于任何犯罪行为,但对这一理论的研究还有更多值得去深入思考和探索的地方,而且也需要这样做。
