刑事既判力理论及其中国化

欧陆的刑事既判力理论源于罗马法,指刑事既决事由所创设的稳定诉讼状态,包括既决事项的实质确定力和程序结果的自缚力。刑事既判力旨在解决刑事判决生效后既决事由的效力范围及程序安定性等问题。程序安定、诉讼经济及权利保障是其理论基础。在效力类型上,终局判决的既判力可分为肯定效力与否定效力、相对效力与绝对效力以及主观效力与客观效力。免诉裁决虽不构成严格意义上的刑事终局判决,但亦经过较严格的证明程序,具有"类"既判力。刑事既判力阻却制度奉行"禁止不利于被告的变更"原则,严格限制非常上诉与再审程序的启动。中国刑事诉讼长期缺乏程序安定的理念,再审程序的启动具有极大的随机性和任意性,应引入既判力理论,以维护判决的权威性及程序的安定性。     

What motivates adherence to medical recommendations? The procedural justice approach to gaining deference in the medical arena

Although it is within their long‐term interest, patients often fail to follow health care recommendations made by medical experts. This failure results in the widespread occurrence of preventable health problems and a significant increase in health care costs. Taking a new approach to confronting this issue, this paper examines whether the procedural justice model, which has been useful in explaining cooperation with legal and managerial authorities, can provide a basis for increasing patients' willingness to voluntarily adhere to health care recommendations. Three studies tested and supported this proposition. Study 1 experimentally manipulated physicians' procedural fairness or unfairness to explore its influence on patients' acceptance of doctors' recommendations. Study 2 used patients' reports about the fairness of their personal physicians and linked those evaluations to their willingness to follow their doctor's recommendations. Finally, study 3 explored the role of general procedural justice judgments in promoting willingness to accept health policies when they are advocated by private doctors and government health care authorities. The results of all three studies support the argument that when health care authorities use fair procedures, patients are more likely to accept their recommendations. Importantly, this procedural justice effect is distinct from, and in some cases stronger than, the influence of competence.     

Balanced Scorecard Implementation in a Local Government Authority: Issues and Challenges

Over the last decade the balanced scorecard (BSC) has emerged as a popular strategic performance measurement and control system within various public sector organisations as it assists in effectively implementing strategy and in measuring performance. This article investigates whether the implementation of a BSC has been of value to a large Local Government Authority (LGA) within Australia. The research takes a thematic approach to identify the issues, challenges and lessons learnt in relation to the design and implementation of the BSC, which is accomplished through a review of annual reports, published relevant documents and semi‐structured interviews with 13 senior managers of various programs and divisions within the LGA. Future research opportunities are also identified in this area.

法院的功能

在现代社会,法院扮演的角色是“社会纠纷的裁判中心”,除承担着一般的纠纷裁判功能外,还承担着从纠纷裁判功能中衍生出来的权力制约功能和公共政策创制功能。我国法院在功能上仍带有明显的“传统法院”的色彩：一方面,法院承担了大量的非裁判性功能;另一方面,许多应该由法院承担的功能事实上并没有归入法院。所以,应该立足于法院功能的现代化,理性地界定和建构我国法院的功能。
