论建筑物抛掷物、坠落物致害道义补偿责任——兼论建筑物抛掷物、坠落物强制责任保险制度的建立

《侵权责任法》第87条规定的建筑物抛掷物、坠落物致害补偿责任的性质不是侵权责任,也不是公平责任,而是道义补偿责任。该道义补偿责任的适用范围,受到“建筑物”、“抛掷物”或者“坠落物”和“难以确定”三个方面的限制。其责任限制又主要通过抗辩举证、数额确定及责任分担来实现。另外,建议将该道义补偿责任纳入强制责任保险的范畴,并由法定责任主体通过物业费代为征收的方式予以缴纳。     

论侦查实验风险及其防范

风险在经济学中有着广泛的研究,而在侦查学领域尚未引起足够的重视。事实上,人们从事的各种社会活动都或多或少存在一定的风险。侦查实验是一种法定侦查措施,在实践中有广泛的应用,但目前对其理论尚缺乏全面的研究。从风险这一角度对侦查实验进行研究,提出防范风险的对策,对科学合理地进行侦查实验具有重要意义。

Emotional responsiveness in convicted fraudsters: a study on baseline activation of the anterior insula and its influence on moral decision-making

Low emotional responsiveness promotes utilitarian decision-making on moral dilemmas. Based on the assumption that fraudsters use their emotional competence to deceive their victims, their emotional responsiveness is not expected to be protective against utilitarian decision-making. The present study investigates the key role of emotional responsiveness in relation to moral decision-making in 11 imprisoned fraudsters, 10 imprisoned violent offenders, and 11 non-offenders. Participants’ neural baseline activation of bilateral anterior insula (AI) was used as an indicator for emotional responsiveness. Results indicate that fraudsters and non-offenders have a higher right AI baseline activation than violent offenders. Yet, fraudsters and violent offenders show a stronger tendency towards utilitarian decisions than non-offenders. The predictive power of AI baseline activation on moral decision-making reaches significance only for fraudsters. Results give evidence that fraudsters are highly sensitive to their emotional state of mind, which, contrary to our expectation, exerts a strong influence on their moral decisions.     

Banking in the cloud: Part 2 – regulation of cloud as ‘outsourcing’

This paper looks at EU banks' use of public cloud computing services. It is based primarily on anonymised interviews with banks, cloud providers, advisers, and financial services regulators. The findings are presented in three parts. Part 1 explored the extent to which banks operating in the EU, including global banks, use public cloud computing services.Part 2 of this paper covers the main legal and regulatory issues that may affect banks' use of cloud services. It sets out how EU banking regulators have approached banks' use of cloud services and considers regulators' lack of cloud computing knowledge. The paper further considers how the regulation of outsourcing applies to banks' use of cloud services, including whether cloud computing constitutes “outsourcing”. It analyses the contentious issue of contractual audit rights for regulators as well as legal and practical issues around risk assessments, security, business continuity, concentration risk, bank resolution, and banking secrecy laws.Part 3 looks at the key contractual issues that arise between banks and cloud service providers, including data protection requirements, termination, service changes, and liability.All three parts of the paper can be accessed via Computer Law and Security Review's page on ScienceDirect at: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/02673649?sdc=2. The full list of sources is available via the same link and will be printed alongside the third part of the article.     

Leadership Styles,Workplace Politics and Moral Identity of Ugandan Public Procurement Staff

The study predicts the moral identity of Ugandan public procurement staff using situational factors like leadership styles, social interactions, organizational politics and personal isomorphism, largely ignored in documented empirical literature. This study builds upon previous studies which assert that much remains to be learned about moral identity. Data were collected from staff handling the public procurement function in 105 randomly selected procuring and disposing entities (PDEs). Data relating to the study constructs were collected using self-administered questionnaires and an interview guide. The study established that workplace factors singularly and/or interactively predict moral identity of procurement staff in PDEs in Uganda. These findings have both policy and managerial implications which we discuss and present in this article.     

中国优秀传统文化在社会主义核心价值体系建设中的角色扮演

建设社会主义核心价值体系,中国传统道德文化扮演着不可或缺的角色。社会主义核心价值体系的建设不能机械照搬中国传统道德文化,应充分发掘传统道德文化的价值,对传统道德文化进行正学与开新。只有这样,才能凸显传统道德文化在社会主义核心价值体系建设中的独特魅力。     

神经伦理学:检验与僭越普遍与相对主义伦理的新进路

随着神经科学研究方法的突破,伦理学研究范式诉求的高涨,神经伦理学作为伦理学与认知神经科学的重要交叉学科正在迅速兴起和逐渐成熟。它超越了传统伦理学的抽象人性论基础,突破了思辨例举论证思路,借助认知神经科学的先进技术,从脑神经生理方面寻找证据,成功解决了传统伦理学中的诸多争论,巧妙化解了传统伦理学中的诸多难题和争论。未来的神经伦理学一方面需加强神经科学家与伦理工作者之间的有效合作;另一方面要积极强化学科内"科学家-实践者"的素养训练。     

危难救助者的行政补偿研究

在现实生活中,危难救助者的损失往往得不到应有的赔偿或补偿,导致人们对危难救助行为心存疑虑.然而,随着风险社会的出现及其程度不断加深,在防范和化解风险过程中,一种最有效的途径无疑是让社会大众共同分担救助他人的义务,这相当于为国家履行职责.因此,国家的责任不可或缺.根据行政补偿理论中的公共负担平等说,国家应当对危难救助者给予行政补偿,以弥补其因救助行为所造成的损失.     

Moral judgement,cognitive distortions and empathy in incarcerated delinquent and community control adolescents

Abstract

Immature moral judgements, cognitive distortions and low empathy could contribute to criminal offending and are often targeted in interventions aimed at reducing risk of recidivism. We compared 58 delinquent 13–18-year-olds, incarcerated in youth homes in Sweden (29 males, 29 females) with 58 (29 males, 29 females) community control adolescents individually matched on age, gender, ethnicity and socio-economic position. Self-report questionnaires examined moral judgement, cognitive distortions, and empathy. Delinquent adolescents exhibited less mature moral judgements and more cognitive distortions than control adolescents. However, no association between delinquency status and self-reported empathy was found. In addition, girls reported more mature moral judgements, less cognitive distortions and more empathy than boys did. Moral judgement and empathy were positively correlated and both measures were negatively correlated with cognitive distortions. Our data support the idea that moral judgement and cognitive distortions are important treatment targets for juvenile delinquents, whereas empathy may be less meaningful to address directly.
