Fathers,adolescent daughters and gender in a low-income South African community

Knowledge about father–adolescent daughter relationships is mostly based on research in North-American and European contexts. Furthermore, it tends to rely on either fathers' or daughters' perspectives, and not on dyadic data. Informed by a social constructionist perspective, this study investigated the fatherhood constructions of fathers and adolescent daughters in a South African low-income community. We used Charmaz' social constructionist grounded theory method. Forty-two interviews were conducted separately with fourteen fathers and their adolescent daughters. Five conceptual categories were identified: (i) Predominance of fathers' provider role; (ii) Fathers and daughters having an ‘understanding’ in which daughters apparently complied with fathers authoritarian positions; (iii) explicit expressions of affection were mostly limited to special occasions; (iv) Fathers wished a better future for their daughters and attempted to keep them on track to such a future and (v) lastly, Fathers' expected daughters to follow their instructions and not their bad examples. Our findings highlight the influential and constricting role of dominant masculine and feminine gender notions in the discourses and practices of the fathers and adolescent daughters in our study. However, some evidence of contestations were present that suggests the potential of a shift towards more equitable gender relations.     

Towards virtuous and ethical organisational performance in the context of corruption: A case study in the public sector

With the increasing number of ethical violations reported across the public sector, the emphasis on ethics and values in governance is on the rise. Corruption is widely accepted as a form of unethical behaviour that can have detrimental effects on organisations as well as society at large. Research calls for empirical studies focusing on the contextual factors surrounding corruption. Based on the Contextually Based Human Resource Theory and using the case study method, this paper examines the role of context through a systematic analysis of corruption in a public sector organisation. We integrate corruption and human resource literature to understand employee behaviour, employee relations, HRM strategies, and organisational outcomes in the context of organisational corruption.     

法学研究目标受众选择的大数据分析

文章为谁而写,是法学研究需要解决的基础性命题。从近二十年约2.5万篇法学核心期刊文章的大数据机器学习分类结果看,我国的法学研究成果呈多重目标格局,其中近三成服务于执法机关(包括行政机关和司法机关),同时也有为立法者、执政者建言献策的成果。经检验,目标受众类型的选择与论文的传播能力以及获得基金支持的机会之间有显著相关性。这一决定成果影响力大小的机制迟早会被个体习得并不断强化,成为研究者选择目标受众类型的重要因素。该机制良性运转的关键是处理好学者和实践受众的关系,保持学术研究必要的自主性,警惕学术研究在追逐发表、经济支持时被有关主体“认知俘获”。     

Coming out of the shadow? Studies of local governments in Central and Eastern Europe in European academic research

This article is an analysis of the changing role of research on local governments in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) within mainstream European studies. It refers to dependency theory (Wallerstein, Prebish) as applied to scientific research. It classifies CEE as being in the semi-periphery of academic research. The empirical analysis consists of two parts: (1) qualitative review of the most important of the comparative studies of European local governments. It includes a discussion on the role of local governments and researchers from CEE in these studies; (2) quantitative based on an analysis of articles published in international journals and citations for those articles in Scopus. The analysis covers 14 countries (all new member states who joined the EU from 2004 onwards, plus the Balkan countries: Albania, Macedonia, and Serbia).     

司法实证分析

纯理性的、纯思辨的分析在法学研究中的局限性越来越明显,司法实践越来越需要实证分析的方法.实证分析的方法,就是如何获得知识的知识,怎样获得一个研究成果的过程和方法.实证分析强调三个意识:样本意识、量化意识、半知意识,还必需具备三个条件:理论资源、案例资源、量化分析手段.

公司共同决策法律制度研究——以“职工满意度”为视角

职工参与共同决策是公司资本民主化和管理民主化的主要实现途径,起源于德国共同体文化的这一制度旨在保护职工权益、协调企业中劳资关系.寻找两者利益的平衡点,通过对不同企业的探索性调研,借助职工满意评价工具分析共同决策制度实施与职工满意之间的联系,探索我国公司法共同决策制度的引入模式.     

中国耕地保护制度演进及存在问题研究

耕地保护制度是耕地保护目标实现的重要保障,耕地概念和耕地保护内涵的科学界定则是耕地保护制度建设的基础。梳理建国以来我国耕地保护制度的演进,不难发现现行制度存在耕地概念不完整、主体利益不协调、法律和经济实施手段不完善以及质量和生产自然条件保护不足等问题,而尊重市场经济原则,运用经济手段、走法制化道路将是我国耕地保护制度建设的方向。     

海峡两岸遗弃罪比较研究

海峡两岸遗弃罪立法各有长短,主要表现在:台湾的具体式立法模式优越于大陆的概括式立法模式;大陆刑法没有把无保护义务者的遗弃行为犯罪化是立法的重大漏洞;大陆遗弃罪主体范围有待扩大,台湾仅特别规定遗弃直系尊亲属罪似有不妥;两岸有关遗弃罪主观方面的理解,虽能自圆其说,但也均存在问题;台湾"刑法"新增阻却遗弃罪排除事由,值得深入研究;台湾将保护法益界定为个人法益以及对遗弃罪规定了不同幅度的法定刑和结果加重犯,值得大陆借鉴。     

浅析《老子》翻译——《老子》译本的描述性研究

从描述性翻译研究的新视角对历时近三百年产生的二百多本涵盖《老子》世传、帛书、竹简3种版本的译本进行全面历史性描述,得到以下要点:一是《老子》译本的翻译根据3种不同版本呈现出3种翻译趋势与热潮,随着历史时期的变化而变化对中国古典文学的翻译倾向产生不同影响;作为边缘文化的典例对西方文化也造成了一定影响。二是多译本《老子》这一文学翻译典例表明文学翻译批评应兼具规定性翻译批评研究和描述性翻译批评研究,以此完整的翻译批评系统推动翻译文学事业的发展。
