新世纪社会思潮对青年影响的特点浅析

新世纪,经济全球化和网络信息化加剧了社会思潮的传播,处在"心理断乳期"的青年,世界观、人生观和价值观等的形成和发展呈现出不稳定和持续发展的特点,社会思潮对青年的影响呈现出了影响内容的复杂化、影响途径的多样性、影响方式的非强制性和潜移默化性以及影响效果的显著性和不可测性等新的特点。正确认识这些特点有利于正确地引导青年健康成长。     

论我国农民参政权——基于2009年《选举法修正案草案》的现实思考

政治参与是衡量政治现代化的重要指标,是民主政治的重要内容。农民是中国最大的群体,却是政治参与的边缘群体。《选举法修正案草案》有望使农民获得真正意义上的平等选举权,更有机会参与国家政治生活;但应该在对其肯定的同时,更多地从我国农民参政所处的现状思考,通过对农民参政影响因素及现状分析,探寻一条适合国情的农民参政权的实现路径。     

规制机构组织要素失衡对规制行为的负面影响

规制机构的组织目标、权责分配、经费来源、决策机制等组织要素的比例失衡对规制行为产生负面影响,主要体现在规制机构的部门利益目标化和法定化、规制自由裁量行为的泛滥、规制机构的设租和寻租行为、规制行为的地方保护主义、规制政策缺乏连续性和独立性等方面。     

利用影响力受贿罪的理论困境及破解

在我国法律语境下,受贿罪的实质是＂权钱交易＂,即国家工作人员利用其自身的权力和请托人进行财物交换的行为,此处的权力应仅限于国家的公权力,不应扩大到影响力,而且利用公权力的行为人应与公权力的拥有者相统一。利用影响力受贿罪不符合受贿罪的本质特征,与传统的受贿罪理论存在冲突,应借鉴《联合国反腐败公约》之规定,将利用影响力受贿罪定位为利用影响力交易罪。     

城市房地产价格空间结构研究前沿动态————基于城市经济学的视角

本文从城市经济学的视角出发,梳理了城市房地产价格空间结构的理论演进脉络和实证研究,为国内开展房地产价格空间结构研究提供借鉴。研究指出城市房地产价格空间结构研究通常是通过估算价格梯度（竞租曲线斜率）来衡量的。国外城市经济学者在三类假设（单中心假设,多中心假设,对城市空间结构不事先假设）三大方法（早期的负指数函数模型、特征价格模型和改进的重复销售模型）下展开价格梯度估算研究的。最后对国内的研究进行了评论和展望。

Cases of Kava Impairment in Iowa Drivers

Kava is an Oceanic plant in which the root is consumed as a beverage and is becoming increasingly popular. The effects of kava consumption may include sedation, euphoria, and impairment of motor coordination. This article demonstrates kava impairment through four cases of self‐reported kava use supported with Drug Recognition Expert (DRE) evaluations of each subject. Subject's urines screened negative for common drugs of abuse by immunoassay analysis. Urine from cases 3 and 4 were analyzed by liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, and gas chromatography–mass spectrometry, which yielded the presence of kavalactones. Subjects exhibited poor driving behavior and signs of intoxication. Indicators of impairment from multiple drug categories, central nervous system (CNS) depressants, CNS stimulants, and cannabis were observed, which may be consistent with the presence of multiple kavalactones and their diverse array of mechanisms of action. The consumption of kava can hinder one's ability to operate a vehicle safely.     

School Safety Strategies and Their Effects on the Occurrence of School-Based Violence in U.S. High Schools: An Exploratory Study

Recent incidents of school-based violence have resulted in the widespread implementation of school safety strategies across the United States. While research on these strategies has grown over the past decade, there is little understanding about their collective influence on indicators of school violence. Using data from the 2007–2008 School Survey on Crime and Safety, the present study explored responses of 936 school officials (N = 936) employed in high schools across the United States. Taking a confirmatory factor analytic approach, strategies were grouped into numerous factors based on their typology. Factor scores were then extracted and used as predictor variables in a negative binomial regression analysis to determine the extent to which types of safety strategies were associated with recorded incidents of school-based violence.     

Group size,misinformation and unanimity influences on co-witness judgements

Researchers have typically observed the effects of co-witness influence on eyewitness pairs. However, research suggests that individuals are more likely to witness crimes in larger groups. Additionally, there is an abundance of evidence suggesting that social influence is heavily moderated by group size. Therefore, the present study aimed to gain a more accurate understanding of the risks of co-witness influence in relation to unanimity and group size effects. Participants (N = 608) viewed and discussed a CCTV footage of a fight breaking out, with co-witnesses, before giving individual statements, where they were asked to identify which person had started the fight; confederates were used to suggest that the wrong man had started the fight. Results indicated that participants were vulnerable to co-witness influence, but only when exposed to misinformation from a majority of co-witnesses. Misinformation presented by an individual confederate did not have a significant influence over the participants’ responses. This study was the first to investigate the effects of group size on blame attribution. The findings suggest that the true risks of co-witness influence may not be as high as originally predicted from research on eyewitness pairs.
