Meaning and material in the language of the street

This paper describes the materiality of street signs, an unappreciated and ubiquitous type of everyday written text. Drawing on social semiotics, linguistic landscapes and writing system research, it uses a categorisation of social roles associated with street signs and of the functions of street signs applied to street signs in Newcastle upon Tyne, with some other wider examples. The materials are divided into: stone and metal signs, which use capitals and archaic letters, convey permanence and quality, and are locating in function; signs handwritten or printed on paper, which also use capitals, convey temporary status and novelty and are mostly informing; painted signs, which often use lower case, have highly individual letter forms to express identity, and are usually informing; other materials ranging from glass to snow, expressing diverse ideas of permanence. The conclusion is that the meaning of street signs depends in part on the materials they are made of, particularly to convey permanence and identity.     

论马克思的物质循环理论与循环经济思想

马克思的物质循环理论是在吸收了当时自然科学研究成果的基础上,使其具有了生理学、生态学的科学含义。在人类思想发展史上,他第一次把劳动作为人与自然的中介,使劳动过程同人与自然之间的物质循环过程实现了本质的统一,马克思把它称之为人与自然之间的物质变换（循环）。21世纪人类进入生态时代,人与自然之间的协调发展和良性循环已成为经济能否可持续发展的重大命题。在这一历史条件下,重新探讨马克思的物质循环理论,尤其是站在循环经济的角度对这一思想深入研究极其重要。     

Theorizing identity: beyond the ‘us’ and ‘them’ dichotomy

ABSTRACT

Yuval-Davis discusses three interconnected questions relating to identity. She first examines whether and in what ways the notion of identity should be theorized, on the one hand, and empirically researched, on the other, focusing on the opposing views of Stuart Hall and Robin Williams. She then examines the contested question of what is identity, positioning it in relation to notions of belonging and the politics of belonging, and in relation to several influential schools of thought, especially those that construct identity as a mode of narrative, as a mode of performativity or as a dialogical practice. Her third interrelated question concerns the boundaries of identity and the relationship between self and non-self. She explores both social psychological and psychoanalytical approaches to that question, and deals with questions such as reflexivity, identifications and forced identities. The last part of the article explores several types of relationships between self and non-self, such as: ‘me’ and ‘us’; ‘me/us’ and ‘them’; ‘me’ and other ‘others’; ‘me’ and the transversal ‘us/them’. Yuval-Davis's basic argument here is that dichotomous notions of identity and difference, when theorizing boundaries of individual and collective identities, are more misleading than explanatory.     

信息时代对刑法解释论的究问——ATM机盗窃案和“艳照门”事件引起的法律思考

信息时代背景下的ATM机盗窃案和“艳照门”事件凸显出高速发展的社会中司法解释与立法之间的紧张关系。在刑法解释论中，客观解释论居于优势地位。客观解释论是当代中国必然的选择。坚持客观解释论，不能超越法律文本的可能文义。     

论视听资料的“查证”

视听资料作为一种证据材料，具有其他物证不能比拟的准确性和可靠性。实践中，因为视听资料容易被伪造或篡改，且不易被人识别，故而作为证据使用时，可以采用必要的方法和手段进行严格的查证，以确保其真实性和可靠性。对视听资料的查证包括检验和审查两个类别，前者是利用科技手段检查视听资料的真实性，后者主要审查视听资料的来源和合法性。     

论“电子警察”执法中证据材料采集制度的完善——以高速公路上电子警察对超速行为取证为例

目前，电子警察执法中存在取证设备技术缺陷、行业技术标准缺失、监控点设置不规范和执法人员操作资格认证制度缺失等问题，严重影响了证据材料的采集工作。鉴于此，必须建立电子警察执法证据材料采集立法规范，促进行业标准尽快出台，推进交通管理科学技术更新，以确保证据材料采集工作的有效性，确保电子警察执法的公正性。     

论物证技术的理性基础及非理性克服——以公安机关现场勘查物证信息调控论为视角

物证技术科学的继续发展应当立足于对其理性因素的重新审视以及对其非理性因素的克服。物证技术理性的三大构成,即证明方式变革、基础理论的发展、基础理论在实践中的运用是物证信息调控理论提出的基础。这种理论可用以分析物证技术在现场勘查的认知模式、操作程式及评价机制中存在的非理性因素,进而为克服这些非理性因素提供实质性的解决方案。     

论性贿赂犯罪的惩治

"性贿赂"使得行贿人对受贿人的"关照"从物质层面上升到感官、精神层面,在"体贴入微"的同时更具隐蔽性;"性贿赂"侵犯了国家工作人员职务的廉洁性,具有比财物贿赂更为严重的社会危害性,是贿赂犯罪的一种新形式."性贿赂"呈愈演愈烈之势,道德的调整已不足以抑制其危害,惩治性贿赂犯罪不违背刑法的谦抑性.     

论我国行政给付的原则

行政给付是落实宪法规定的公民物质帮助权的制度,行政给付行为的实施应遵守国家责任原则、基本生活保障原则、公平公开原则、补充性原则、补足性原则和及时性原则。     

现代企业环境成本管理模式刍议

随着经济的发展,环境问题也日益显得紧迫。企业不再能无偿运用资源,因此企业必须重视环境成本的管理。而传统的以“末端治理”为特征的环境成本管理却有很大的缺陷,我们须构建现代环境成本管理模式,真正实现环境成本的降低。
