物权法对取得时效制度的舍弃

取得时效制度是民法上极为古老的私法制度之一,同时它又是时效制度的重要组成部分,现行大陆法系国家的民法中大都确立了取得时效制度。然我国物权法却并未规定该制度。通过一系列的论证表明在我国物权法确实有规定取得时效的必要性,现今亟需解决的是在缺失该制度前提下司法实践中相关问题如何解决。     

New investment,old challenges. Land deals and the water constraint in African agriculture

Foreign investment in agricultural land acquisition in sub-Saharan Africa has been viewed primarily as driven by a set of linked ‘crises’: in financial capital markets, in security of energy and food supply, and in global environmental governance. This paper argues that a focus on the ‘buyers’ of land risks overlooking the dynamics that operate on the side of the land ‘sellers’. Accordingly, the first part of the paper argues that it is important to view the current ‘land grab’ as the latest stage in a longer historical process of competition for control of land and other natural resources by different ‘domestic’ economic and political actors within African countries. While such struggles are often characterised as the ‘state versus the peasantry’, with the state acting on behalf of ‘urban elites’, the paper argues that processes of accumulation and associated enclosure of natural resources need to be examined more critically in specific contexts if the role and impact of foreign capital investment are to be understood. The second part of the paper seeks to identify the ways in which questions of scale (in the sense of greater capital intensity) can be considered to be constraints to the development of African agriculture. Particularly, it considers the extent to which the production models most frequently mentioned in connection with foreign investment (large-scale mechanised farms and small-scale outgrower contract farming) respond to current productivity constraints. The paper argues that current debates about foreign investment in agricultural land underplay the importance of water resources needed to overcome production risks associated with irregular rainfall. Bringing the water dimension of land deals more clearly into focus is necessary if the scope for positive and negative impacts of new investment on existing land users is to be fully understood. The paper concludes by considering the implications of such challenges in the current context of foreign investment in agriculture in Africa.     

土地征收中的被征收人知情权保护

为了避免和化解土地征收引发的社会纠纷,加强被征收人的知情权保护研究非常有必要。西方国家非常注重被征收人的知情权保护,根据本国的国情,设置了不同的制度。我们有必要借鉴西方国家的规定,加强被征收人的知情权保护,具体的对策是：要求告知义务人将相关信息直接通知被征收人;进一步明确规定告知义务人公告征地信息的地点;允许被征收人查阅征收申请人和征收审批机关的所有材料;扩大需要被告知的权利人的范围;规定征收申请人不将征收审批机关的决定告知被征收人的,征收申请人不能执行该决定。     

第二语言习得研究与中国俄语教学

随着中俄两国政治、经济、文化、教育、科技等领域的不断发展,我国对俄语人才的需求不断增加。近几十年来,我国不断引进国外先进的俄语教学方法,如听说法、视听法、认知法、交际教学法等。但在我国的俄语教学课堂上,这些教学法或者经过了修改,或者根本不是原来的方法,教学效果并不是很理想。结合我国俄语教学的这种现状,依据第二语言习得研究理论,探讨和分析适合我国国情的新的俄语教学方法,即任务型俄语教学,目的是为了更好地提高俄语教学质量,培养适合社会发展需要的应用型俄语人才。     

试论我国反垄断法的域外适用——以"两拓"合并案为视角

反垄断法的城外适用是有其理论基础的,"两拓"并购案促使我们有必要分析我国反垄断法域外适用的依据及可行性,从而对我国适用反垄断法以规制跨国公司并购对我国产生的负面影响进行探讨,进而督促我们更好地反思和完善我国反垄断法的域外适用机制.     

论善意取得制度中的转让合同效力问题——兼谈《合同法》第51条与《物权法》第106条之关系

通过对善意取得制度的渊源及模式的比较法考察,可以发现不同物权变动模式下善意取得均以＂转让合同除无权处分外并无其他瑕疵＂为前提,在未来统一编纂我国民法典时,应将之与《物权法》第106条规定的诸构成要件并立,作为善意取得的构成要件之一予以规定。在善意取得成立后,因公示公信原则的权利拟制,无权转让合同变为有权转让,可以作为各项合同请求权的基础。对《合同法》第51条采何种解读,以及采取何种物权变动模式,并不影响善意取得时对转让合同效力的认定,只影响对何为＂转让合同＂的认定。     

A comparison of forensic evidence recovery techniques for a windows mobile smart phone

Acquisition, decoding and presentation of information from mobile devices is complex and challenging. Device memory is usually integrated into the device, making isolation prior to recovery difficult. In addition, manufacturers have adopted a variety of file systems and formats complicating decoding and presentation.A variety of tools and methods have been developed (both commercially and in the open source community) to assist mobile forensics investigators. However, it is unclear to what extent these tools can present a complete view of the information held on a mobile device, or the extent the results produced by different tools are consistent.This paper investigates what information held on a Windows Mobile smart phone can be recovered using several different approaches to acquisition and decoding. The paper demonstrates that no one technique recovers all information of potential forensic interest from a Windows Mobile device; and that in some cases the information recovered is conflicting.     

Solid-state acquisition of fingermark topology using dense columnar thin films

Various vacuum techniques are employed to develop fingermarks on evidentiary items. In this work, a vacuum was used to deposit columnar thin films (CTFs) on untreated, cyanoacrylate-fumed or dusted fingermarks on a limited selection of nonporous surfaces (microscope glass slides and evidence tape). CTF deposition was not attempted on fingermarks deposited on porous surfaces. The fingermarks were placed in a vacuum chamber with the fingermark side facing an evaporating source boat containing either chalcogenide glass or MgF(2). Thermal evaporation of chalcogenide glass or MgF(2) under a 1 μTorr vacuum for 30 min formed dense CTFs on fingermark ridges, capturing the topographical features. The results show that it is possible to capture fingermark topology using CTFs on selected untreated, vacuumed cyanoacrylate-fumed or black powder-dusted nonporous surfaces. Additionally, the results suggested this might be a mechanism to help elucidate the sequence of deposition.

Three models of integration and the Estonian/Russian reality

Abstract

This paper provides a framework for evaluation of Estonia's integration program that the government approved in 2000. It differentiates three “integration” processes that the literature has identified: (1) integration in which Russians and Estonians meld into a common new culture, though predominantly Estonian; (2) assimilation of Russians into Estonian culture; and (3) integration into a common external framework as part of an expanded EU. Relying upon a review of the Estonian and Russian-language press since 2000 and a new survey of 9th year students and their parents conducted in 2002, the paper offers a fourth model of integration in which two integration processes — Russians integrating into Estonian society and both Russians and Estonians integrating into an English-speaking Europe — are taking place simultaneously. Furthermore, the data show that the Estonian government program is reinforcing rather than altering these integration processes.
