论我国农村垃圾回收处理公益信托制度

农村垃圾已经成为农村环境污染的主要来源,但是我国关于农村垃圾的回收、处理和污染防治的现行法律制度存在着诸多缺陷：法律体系上不健全、基础设施建设严重滞后、垃圾回收与处理机制不完善、监督机制基本空白,美国、日本、中国台湾等环境公益信托的经验表明,我国可以在《信托法》的基础上,结合农村垃圾回收与处理的实际需要,围绕设立、信托财产、委托人、受托人、受益人、监察人、管理机构、税收优惠等方面,构建农村垃圾回收与处理的公益信托制度,以解决农村环境保护的燃眉之急。     

The tussle with trust: Trust in the news media ecology

This article offers a conceptual exploration of the changing notion of trust and distrust in today's news media ecology. Central is the question whether the relationship between the traditional media actors, media organisations, journalists and news users, can be increasingly characterised by distrust. Do we really notice a decline in trust in the news media? And moreover, are these feelings of distrust grounded? In order to answer these questions, we look at the changing economic, technological and societal context and how this might explain the strained relationship between these actors. We find that to a large extent the goals of the media actors diverge or even conflict. Mutually bridging these goals is difficult as they boil down to ideological and normative choices. This requires us to reconsider our ways of looking at trust. Therefore, this article's central argument is that a trusted relationship between the media actors is unlikely to result from a definitive settlement between the actor's conflicting goals. Rather, maintaining a trusted relationship is likely to become a matter of constant renegotiation. For this renegotiation to succeed, transparency and integrity are key. We find inspiration in the recent work of Solove (2001), Nissenbaum (2004) and Mansell (2008, forthcoming) to take a different, more contextual approach towards the notion of trust. As regards the relationship between news organisations and users, we suggest these norms should be negotiated in a balanced and transparent way, giving users an equal say in the process. The relationship between journalists and news users should be guided by a mutual interest in truth telling, whereby users are not only merely seen as consumers, but also as potential contributors to news stories. Policy makers in turn should act as facilitators of such spaces of renegotiation.     

Trust in the clouds

The “cloud” is not new, and its roots go back to the original plans for computing from the 1950s. Now that computing is moving back to the original cloud-based models that were envisioned more than 60 years ago, with it, consumers are realizing the increases in security and safety that accompany the move to centralized servers. Yet the perception of “trust” in this context is often still formed by views that people have from their use of computers over the past two decades, which is localized in nature (“if I can see it, I can control it”). This view is based on perception more than fact. Our paper discusses different views of trust in other contexts (such as banking and travel) and concludes that users of cloud computing should recast their view of trust in a similar way that consumers of banking and travel have changed their perceptions of trust in the last 100 years.     

信赖与信赖利益考

信赖是当事人相信要约或合同而为签订合同所导致的财产减少和与他人订约机会的丧失,信赖利益是对合同或要约赋予了信赖一方当事人所故有的,因信赖可能或已经受到损失的利益,对信赖利益的救济包括期待利益损害赔偿和信赖损害赔偿两种手段,且对信赖利益的损害赔偿不应以期待利益为限。     

论诉讼信托和讨债信托的效力——探讨《信托法》第11条第4项

我国《信托法》第11条第4项规定,专以诉讼或者讨债为目的设立的信托无效。然而,该条文是对日本《信托法》移植的结果,我国并没有禁止诉讼信托和讨债信托的理由。同时,该条文容易被规避且难以被认定,在司法实践中缺乏适用的空间。再者,该条文不仅与我国现行的诸多法律条文和制度产生冲突,而且与我国减少社会不良资产和增强我国公民法律意识、维权意识的目的相违背,故应当删除。事实上,诉讼信托和讨债信托不仅符合信托设立的要求,而且能使债权人、债务人受益,并起到减少讼累等有利效果,因此,应当承认诉讼信托和讨债信托在我国的合法地位。     

信托权的法律性质

在信托关系中,受托人对信托财产所享有的支配权被称为信托权。尽管受托人可以以自己的名义管理和处分信托财产,但是受托人支配信托财产不是为了谋求自身的特定利益,因此受托人对信托财产的支配缺乏权利的本质。受托人对信托财产进行符合信托目的、符合委托人意志或受益人利益的管理或处分,只是在履行其对委托人和受益人所承担的债务。     

Modelling the determinants of electronic tax filing services’ continuance usage intention

The success of electronic filing services largely depends on their continuance usage. This study examines the factors affecting the continuance usage intention of the online tax filing services in Mauritius. An integrated model comprising Trust Theory and Information System Success Model (ISSM) is applied to assess the continuance usage behaviour of e-filing systems. The model has been extended by adding two additional variables: Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Risk. The model was tested using a sample of 315 users of e-filing services in Mauritius. A structural equation modelling technique using partial least square structural equation modelling verified the hypotheses. The results reveal that the continuance usage intention of an electronic tax filing system is influenced by Perceived Usefulness, User Satisfaction, and Service Quality. However, Perceived Risk does not influence the continuance usage intention of e-filing systems since the importance of Perceived Risk diminishes as trust in the e-service provider increases. The theoretical and practical implications derived from the findings of this study are also discussed. This paper makes several contributions to the literature on electronic tax filing systems.     

近代中国企业组织的演进轨迹与伦理意识的影响

中国近代企业组织的演进明显地受到传统伦理意识的影响,其演进路径被锁 定在家族垄断和官僚垄断相互勾结这条路径上。这种路径锁定状态的出现和儒学经济伦理 的深远影响密不可分。儒学思想对经济组织的影响集中体现在家族的亲亲思想和封建君主 的专制思想这两个方面。在这种思想影响下,利益的流向和集结是朝向家族和政府。     

我国信托法关于讨债信托与诉讼信托无效的规定应当删除

应当将关于讨债信托与诉讼信托无效的规定从我国《信托法》中删除。基本理由：该法关于讨债信托无效的规定的适用将致使已成为政策工具的公司债信托与金融不良债权信托成为无效信托,故该规定在目前已成为“推动公司债券发行”与“刊离国有商业银行金融不良债权”这两项我国现阶段的重要金融改革政策所要达到的目标的法律障碍,甚至关于该规定已成为后面一项政策目标实现的法律障碍已有司法判例佐证;该法关于诉讼信托无效的规定完全没有必要存在于其中,因为在我国并不存在从国家有效规制金钱债权代替行使行为角度看需要该规定的法律背景与社会背景,况且将该规定保留在该法中对债权人明显不利。     

Organized Crime and Trust:: On the conceptualization and empirical relevance of trust in the context of criminal networks

Organised crime networks are often characterised as being held together by bonds of trust, but the conventional wisdom regarding the relation between trust and organised crime lacks a comprehensive theoretical and empirical underpinning. The purpose of this paper is to explore where deeper research on this issue may lead and how it can potentially contribute to a better understanding of organised crime in general. Drawing on the general sociological literature, it provides a preliminary conceptualisation of trust in the context of organised crime centred around a fourfold typology along the micro-macro dimension. The authors use anecdotal evidence from their research on illegal markets for highly taxed goods in Norway and Germany to illustrate that there are different types of trust, that there are different consequences of the violation of trust, and, finally, that there are criminal relations not based on trust at all.
