Resisting the Fall: The Single Dominant Party,Policies and Elections in Malaysia

Before Malaysia’s 2013 general election, one of the few remaining dominant coalitions in the world was aware it would struggle to retain power. A fledgling opposition coalition had inspired public confidence of its capacity to competently rule while public discontent with the ruling party was rife due to the ubiquity of patronage that had prevented the responsible implementation of policies. However, regime change did not occur. How does the protracted rule of Malaysia’s Barisan Nasional coalition, and the hegemonic party in it, the United Malays National Organisation, relate to debates over authoritarian durability, during a period when dominant parties struggle to sustain power? Malaysian elections have been free enough that the opposition has been able to obtain and retain control of state governments, so why has Barisan Nasional not lost power? This article reviews the 2013 election examining three issues: the significance of coalition politics; how policies have shaped voting trends; and the growing monetisation of politics. These perspectives provide insights into the institutional structure of coalitions and their conduct of politics, including clientelistic practices, forms of mobilisation and governance and the outcomes of policies introduced to address socio-economic inequities and drive economic growth.

Internal validation of 29 autosomal SNP multiplex using a ABI 310 genetic analyser

In the last few years genetic identification and paternity testing have begun to make increasing use of autosomal SNP (Single Nucleotide Polymorphism) typing as a supplement or alternative to STR analysis. With the improvement in detection technology SNP analysis is likely to be easier and more sensitive, with the generation of new methods and multiplex systems for a growing array of SNP markers. SNPforID consortium developed 52 SNP PCR multiplex for human identification purposes detected with 23 plex and 29 plex single base extension reactions (Auto1 and 2 respectively). In this study, internal validation for the 29 SNPs of Auto2 was carried out by performing a 29 plex PCR and single base extension reaction on control samples and previously analyzed forensic casework and subsequent detection with an AB 310 Genetic Analyzer. We tested the accuracy, precision, sensitivity and reproducibility of the Auto2 multiplex with this instrument in our laboratory. We used 9947A control DNA samples of the AmpF?STR Identifiler™ kit to test the validation parameters together with non-probative DNA samples from whole blood and buccal swab samples of 29 healthy donors from different parts of Istanbul. Good results were obtained but interpretation of the peak patterns obtained on the AB 310 requires care and thorough optimization before they can be readily compard to those obtained from multiple capillary AB 31xx Analyzers. We succesfully optimized and validated the SNPforID Auto2 multiplex system for identification analyses in our laboratory.     

论证据收集力强弱与证明责任轻重

证据收集力强弱与证明责任轻重的平衡是当前民事诉讼中迫切需要解决的问题。本文阐释了民事诉讼中强化当事人证据收集力的趋势,程序结构视野中的两种证明责任观,分析了证据收集力强弱与证明责任轻重的错位现象,并提出导入证据开示制度,提升当事人证据收集力,平衡当事人证据收集力强弱与证明责任轻重的观点。     

风险容忍对大学生就业能力影响的实证研究 —— 基于行为偏好的中介效应

基于460份来自广东、江西、安徽和上海等地高校部分2014-2016届大学生的调查问卷数据,以风险容忍度高低为分类标准对大学生的风险容忍、行为偏好及其就业能力之间的关系进行实证检验。结果显示,风险容忍度较低的大学生自我感知就业能力总体较低,风险容忍度高的大学生自我感知就业能力总体较高。个人的行为偏好在风险容忍对大学生就业能力的影响中发挥部分中介效应,但随着风险容忍度的提高,其影响方向会发生改变。必须因势利导,帮助大学生正确认识其风险容忍水平,适时抉择;关注心理健康,帮助大学生保持良好的求职心态,形成合理就业偏好;实施差异指导,帮助大学生确立适宜的职业期望,确保工作搜寻适度。

论领导者提高执政能力的境界

领导干部应该善用权力、下属认同、多出人才、做人为先,方能达到提高执政能力的境界。领导者应当以对领导规律的科学把握和领导权力的恰当运用统御部属;以高尚纯正的品格做派、先进的领导理念领导方法艺术、正确的召唤和指令等影响下属,并得到他们的认同,从而赢得广泛的追求者;在本单位本部门开发、培养和吸纳尽可能多的人才,并运用好这些人才,以作为事业的支撑;正确理解和处理做官与做人的关系,奉行“做人为先”的原则,以人格的力量打造自己的领导形象和领导力。     

论胡锦涛的行政领导思想

以胡锦涛为总书记的党的新一代领导集体继承了毛泽东、邓小平、江泽民等党的领导集体的行政领导思想,并在新形势下进行了创造性的发展,形成了自己内涵和特色鲜明的执政理念,主要表现在六个方面:把提高执政能力作为党的建设的重点,强化和升华以人为本的执政理念,以科学发展观统领经济社会发展全局,大力弘扬求真务实的政绩观,将人才开发作为强国战略,倡导构建社会主义和谐社会,身体力行推动创建学习型社会。     

Electoral Reform and Party Adaptation: The Introduction of the Single Transferable Vote in Scotland

The 2007 Scottish Local Government Elections saw the first large scale use of the Single Transferable Vote (STV) in a mainland election in Britain. This presented a range of challenges for Scotland's political parties, more familiar with campaigning under first-past-the-post or the Scottish parliament's semi-proportional Additional Member System (AMS). Most crucially, STV meant the parties had to come to terms with multi-member wards and the transferral of votes between parties. Following a short discussion of the results of the STV elections, this article assesses evidence on how the parties adapted to the new electoral system, focussing particularly on candidate and campaign strategies. The article argues that Scotland's parties showed some, but limited, signs of adapting to new electoral conditions. Rather than strategic adjustment, an element of 'hoping for the best' was evident in all parties.     

政府声誉、政府能力与非政府组织对政府的信任

非政府组织对政府部门的信任非常重要,政府声誉和政府能力是其重要影响因素.为了揭示政府声誉和政府能力对政府信任的影响,作者以非政府组织的项目负责人和志愿者为抽样对象,以非政府组织与政府部门的关系为背景,通过对政府声誉、政府能力与信任之间的相关分析和回归分析,分析了政府声誉、政府能力对政府信任的影响.研究表明,政府声誉、政府能力对政府信任产生正向影响,政府能力比政府声誉对政府信任的影响更加明显.因此,能否树立良好的声誉、培养较高的能力对政府部门获得非政府组织的信任与支持具有十分重要的现实意义.当然,影响非政府组织对政府部门信任的因素还包括非政府组织特征、制度特征等;研究模型可以进一步扩展,更全面地考察非政府组织与政府部门间的信任形成机制.
