Multiple Streams in Hawaii: How the Aloha State Adopted a 100% Renewable Portfolio Standard

Renewable portfolio standards (RPS) are an important policy tool for reducing carbon emissions and advancing the global shift toward renewable energy. As the U.S. federal government backs away from commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, subnational governments play an increasingly important role in mitigating climate change. In June 2015, Hawaii became the first state in the United States to adopt a 100% RPS. Through understanding the conditions that gave rise to Hawaii’s RPS, policy actors will be better informed as they navigate policy processes in other states and jurisdictions. This study uses Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework (MSF) to explore the policy process that led to Hawaii’s 100% RPS. Data were collected during the summer of 2016 via interviews with 25 key policy actors and informants in Hawaii. Expectations based on the MSF are confirmed, and the results suggest factors that might be included or explored in future studies of RPS adoption.     

Conservation in Context: Toward a Systems Framing of Decentralized Governance and Public Participation in Wildlife Management

Governance scholars have long championed the adaptive utility of decentralized management institutions, in part due to their ability to bring diverse stakeholders into decision‐making processes. However, research into the link between decentralization and participation often looks at policy design but bypasses important system feedbacks that shape sustained participation over time. To paint a more robust picture detailing how decentralization and participation are related, this paper uses a complex systems framework to explore interacting structural, operational, and cultural components of decentralized wildlife governance institutions in the United States and Botswana. Through this comparative analysis, I argue that the landscape of public participation in decentralized governance institutions appears to be significantly impacted by three factors: 1) how decentralization processes occurred, 2) where in the process of decision making participation is situated, and 3) perceptions of power distribution between groups with competing interests.     

Simple and simultaneous quantification of cyanide,ethanol, and 1-propanol in blood by headspace GC–MS/NPD with Deans switch dual detector system

Cyanide is a powerful and rapidly acting poison. In Japan, cyanide poisoning is rare, and regular cyanide testing can be costly and time consuming. In contrast, alcohol analysis is routinely performed in most forensic laboratories. In this study, we attempted to develop a method for the simultaneous quantification of cyanide and alcohols in blood using headspace gas chromatography (HS–GC). As nitrogen-phosphorus detection (NPD) is more sensitive to hydrogen cyanide than mass spectrometry (MS), a Deans switch was used to switch the detectors during a single run. The separation provided by three analytical columns, PoraBOND Q, CP-Sil 5 CB, and HP-INNOWax, was investigated, and PoraBOND Q was selected. The use of HS–GC–MS/NPD with a Deans switch enabled the simple and simultaneous quantification of cyanide, ethanol, and 1-propanol. Eighteen other volatile compounds were detected in the SIM/scan mode of the MS.     

残疾人无障碍通行权实施现状及对策研究——基于成都市的调查

权利存在着应有权利、法定权利和实有权利三种状态。权利的实现是一个从应有权利到法定权利再到实有权利的动态过程。在我国现阶段，无障碍通行权已从应有状态上升到法定状态，完成了权利实现的第一步。但无障碍通行权的实有状态与法定状态之间还存在较大的差距，主要体现为无障碍环境的缺乏。为保证残疾人获得平等的生存和发展机会，国家和社会应采取措施，积极地营建无障碍环境，促使这项权利从法定状态上升到实有状态。     

20世纪30年代吉隆坡福建人的籍贯分布——以吉隆坡福建义山收据为中心的考察

经过19世纪后期数十年的发展,吉隆坡由一个小城逐渐变成雪兰莪州的首府,来自中国的福建人的人数也逐渐增长。虽然并未能如广府人和客家人的数量之多,但也最终成为吉隆坡第三大方言社群。通过分析30年代福建义山收据,可以发现闽南方言群占福建籍人的八成以上。其中泉州下辖的安溪、南安、永春三县又分别成为其中占人数前三位的县份社群。20世纪上半叶安溪、南安、永春三县籍的成功"新客"就对吉隆坡福建人的形成和发展带来深远的影响。

构建农村社区居家养老模式的法律思考——以海南为例

随着我国人口老年化的加剧,作为人口占多数的农村养老问题也受到更多的关注。由于家庭结构变化,中国家庭4-2-1模式的普遍存在,传统家庭养老面临巨大挑战,新型的农村社区居家养老应运而生。但由于法律建设的不健全,农村社区养老在实践中面临困境。要解决这一问题,就要基于法律的思维,构建完善的农村社区居家养老模式。     

从“1＋X”到“营销式”警务的探索与实践

构建和谐警民关系是公安工作的立足点和着力点，同时也是一门关系营销的学问。江山市公安局自实施“1＋X”警务分级管理模式以来，较好地解决了“谁做”的问题，而“营销式”警务正是解决“怎么做”的课题。它所倡导的是“主动警务”理念，着力于提高警务区民警做群众工作的能力和水平。“营销式”警务强调，顺应民需，练好内部营销；广聚民智，强化外部营销；巧借民力，深化借力型营销。     

Volksanwaltsbestellung,Gewaltenteilung, Vorschlagserstellung als Gesetzgebungsangelegenheit

Die Zurückweisung eines Nominierungsvorschlags durch die Obfrau des Hauptausschusses des Nationalrats im Zuge der Erstellung eines Gesamtvorschlags für die Wahl der Mitglieder der Volksanwaltschaft ist eine Angelegenheit der Gesetzgebung und nicht der Verwaltung und schon deshalb nicht als Bescheid bek?mpfbar.
