关注民生 优化税收制度

党的十七大特别关注民生问题,在报告中明确提出了我们党关于民生问题的努力方向——"使全体人民学有所教、劳有所得、病有所医、老有所养、住有所居,推动建设和谐社会。"关注民生,优化税制,建立科学、公平、效率的税收制度,是以人为本,坚持科学发展观的具体体现,是新时期税收的一项重大任务,税收必须为全面建设小康社会,构建和谐社会做贡献。关注民生,应改革个人所得税、消费税,建立完善的城乡社会保障体系。     

论民主协商体制机制创新

民主协商发端于20世纪30年代末,形成于人民政协诞生时。伴随着社会变迁和社会结构转型的加速,人们的政治参与意识、利益诉求愿望日益增强,呼唤着民主协商体制机制的创新。为了更好地适应经济的发展和社会的变迁,我们有必要从民主协商体制机制创新的基本走向、层面拓展、主要着力点三个方面作深入探析。     

当面说理、强化修辞与重点推进——关于提高我国判决书制作水平的思考

我国当前的判决书存在的问题主要是：说理场合不当,当面不说,背后乱说;修辞力度不够,有法无情,自言自语;案件难易不分,千篇一律,大同小异。这些问题都属于判决书的说理问题,解决这些问题必须考察影响判决书说理的各种因素。除判例制度、政治制度和文化传统等影响判决书说理的一般因素外,我国行政化的审判管理体制、僵化的诉讼文书样式、判决书狭隘的法律意义和对判决书表达错误的容忍等一些细微的体制机制是导致当前的判决书出现问题的直接原因。提高我国判决书制作水平的基本措施是：废除和改进约束法官的制度,保障法官审判的能动性;建立判例制度,鼓励法官有重点地当面说理和加强修辞;突出最高人民法院和高级人民法院在判决书制作中的重点示范作用。

The Pointed Shape of a Knife Influences Eyewitness Perception

We examined the hypothesis that a pointed knife attracts particular attention because of its pointed shape. Using a visual search task method, we asked 33 participants to search 3 × 3 matrices containing outlines of knives with pointed blades such as chef’s knives and knives with rectangular blades such as Chinese chopping knives and to determine whether the matrices contained identical or non-identical knives. The participants found a pointed knife within a background of knives with rectangular blades more quickly than under the reverse condition. This result indicates that the pointed shape of a knife has an attribute that captures human attention and suggests that the visual features of a weapon affect eyewitness perception. This research would benefit forensic investigations in countries such as Japan, where gun ownership is banned and perpetrators use knives more often than firearms.     

Swimming for Their Lives—Waving or Drowning? A Review of the Evidence of Ministerial Overload and of Potential Remedies for It

There is a range of evidence pointing to the problem of overload on government ministers in both the UK and other Westminster-system countries. This article reviews evidence from the time of Gladstone to the present day, concentrating on evidence relating to the last twenty five years. It surveys the comments and opinions of serving and retired politicians and of academic commentators, assessing the contention that the burden on ministers has increased, is likely to continue to increase, and ought to be diminished. It goes on to look at what have been put forward as potential solutions and explores the extent to which they might offer some respite. Finally, the article concludes that the remedy to the problems involved largely lies in the hands of ministers and their closest advisers, and suggests that it is in all our interests that options to reduce overload should be further explored and implemented.
