Searching for Certainty: Rugby and Male Identity in a Former Model C School

This essay investigates the significance of rugby in a former “Model C” high school in South Africa. It examines the ideological and practical connections between rugby and disciplinary practices in this school under apartheid, and it traces those connections to the present day. By doing so, it argues that rugby owes much of its contemporary importance in such schools to the fact that parents, teachers, and coaches can watch as boys respond to the sport’s combination of immediacy and violence. In an era of desegregation and changing educational regulations, rugby’s structural dependence on immediacy and violence allows the sport’s disciplinary potential to remain tantalizingly stable and definitive. Recent concerns about “the scourge of steroids” in school rugby and schoolboys “playing for professional scouts rather than for their school,” however, present new threats to rugby’s apparent stability. These concerns are not random. Rather, they are born of a specific combination of the agentive decisions of schoolboys, the intense importance that adults place on rugby, and the economic and social contradictions that sustain former “Model C” schools. As such, this essay argues that the performance of schoolboy rugby produces an unexpected result in post-apartheid era: the greater the sport’s importance in these schools, and the more parents, teachers, and administrators depend on rugby for displays of discipline and certainty, the starker and more troubling the social contradictions within these schools could become.     

关于构建土地非诉行政案件“裁执分离”模式的调研报告

基于现行土地管理法律规范并没有赋予土地行政管理机关行政强制执行权,针对非法占地建筑物和设施所作的行政决定的强制执行,需要向人民法院申请,由人民法院强制执行。由于非法占地建筑物和设施形成的原因及强制执行,与其他非诉行政执行案件有诸多不同的特点,由法院进行审查并执行的"审执一体"模式,弊端日益凸显。为有效破解土地非诉行政案件"执行难",本文以数据、案例等为基础,在分析现有模式的前提下,对土地管理领域的非诉行政案件实践"裁执分离"模式,从适用范围、理论基础、法律依据、实践经验等方面展开论证,提出在宏观层面完善立法、中观层面建立协作、微观层面细化规定,构建土地非诉行政案件"裁执分离"新型模式。     

应用Demirjian法进行法医学年龄推断的评价

目的对应用Demirjian法进行法医学年龄推断的准确度及可靠性进行初步评价。方法应用Demirjian法测定828名上海地区青少年(男279名,女549名,11～19周岁)的牙龄,比较所测牙龄和实际年龄的差异。结果在11～14岁年龄段Demirjian法测定的牙龄比实际年龄高估,在15～16岁年龄段低估,在17岁及17岁以上年龄段具有局限性。结论Demirjian法可以用于测定上海地区11～16岁年龄段青少年的牙龄,使用时需进行适当的修正。     

群体性纠纷解决机制的建构原理

群体性纠纷带来问题的根源在于它与两造诉讼结构的紧张关系,但是,不同类型的群体性纠纷带来的挑战并不完全相同,对纠纷解决机制的要求也不尽相同。通过对西方国家代表性的群体性纠纷解决机制进行结构的、功能的和技术的比较,可以发现,行政机关执法、社会团体与行政机关提起的不作为之诉、撇去不法收益之诉、加入制群体诉讼、退出制群体诉讼分别适合特定类型的群体性纠纷;群体性诉讼中的费用风险问题,则可以通过诉讼费用制度、律师收费制度的调整或者第三方资助的途径解决。     

地方公共政策执行过程中利益主体的博弈分析

在市场经济条件下,存在多元利益主体相互竞争和博弈的情形下,公共政策的执行过程实际上就是各个利益主体的博弈过程。将地方政府置于核心地位,通过建立上级政府、其他地方政府、非政府组织机构、受益群体、目标群体这五方利益群体的“钻石”模型,全面分析公共政策执行过程中各主体的利益博弈,有助于深入探讨政策执行过程中的利益取向偏差现象,最大程度地实现合作博弈,维护社会利益均衡,推动社会整体利益的实现。     

《国际商事仲裁示范法》对临时性保全措施条款的修订

临时性保全措施是国际商事仲裁程序中的措施,旨在使仲裁程序顺利进行,保障裁决作出后得以执行。在阐述联合国贸法会2006年对其1985年《国际商事仲裁示范法》关于临时性保全措施规定修改要点基础上,结合我国现行法律对有关临时性保全措施的规定进行比较研究,进而对我国现行立法的修订提出自己的看法。     

侦查中影响测谎结论准确性的因素

基于BP神经网络模型对上海土地需求的量化研究

在根据上海产业政策和区域经济发展对用地需求分析的基础上,通过对土地需求、土地储备与土地供应的关联分析,建立基于BP神经网络预测模型,研究上海经营性用地需求趋势的分析和对具体指标的细化分析,进一步得出土地需求总量,提出至2010年上海经济发展对土地需求的预测分析,以合理确定土地储备量。     

So Close But So Far: Voting Propensity and Party Choice for Left‐Wing Parties

While the bulk of the literature focuses on the vote for parties from different blocs, the purpose of our article is to study the vote for two parties that are ideologically very close to each other: The Social Democrats and the Greens in Switzerland. To that end, we develop a two‐step model, where voters first make a selection of parties that are acceptable to them and then make their electoral choice out of this set of acceptable alternatives. We use voting propensities as a measure of the first, consideration step and we show that they strongly depend on the distance between voters and parties on the Left–Right scale. With regard to the second, choice stage of the electoral process we hypothesize about the factors that may account for the varying ability of the two parties to convert potential voters into real voters. Our empirical tests provide encouraging support for our hypotheses regarding the impact of socio‐demographic variables and issue voting. Strategic considerations, by contrast, do not seem to matter.
