Regulating for responsibility: reputation and social media

The framework brought forward by the United Kingdom's Defamation Act 2013 underlines a traditional hierarchy of expression in which news media are viewed as high-level speech. Although of a different form, social media are a dominant means of expression. The current study explores the rationale for a more robust and forceful discussion of responsibility in speech on social media platforms. The underlying premise here is that speech should be viewed as a qualified good and that a more appropriate paradigm is one found in the phrase ‘freedom to participate’.     

Self-expression and collaborative ‘pro-sumption’ in the digital brandscape

ABSTRACT

The evolution of the global economy has seen the emergence of a digital market space. The collaborative and expressive nature of interactive media and technology allows users to participate in the production and publication of branded content within digital communities of affinity. This presents increased possibilities for self-expression, as well as unlimited opportunities for participation in determining and influencing brand narratives. The digital brandscape has therefore become a collaborative space where surplus brand value is produced, but also where struggles in terms of power and counter power between brands and brand consumers evolve. Against this background, this conceptual article explores the brand challenges the notion of consumer brand self-expression poses in a collaborative open-source context where brand identity is constantly challenged, and brand narratives are continuously written and rewritten by multiple brand authors. The article concludes that it is important that brands do not navigate these risks by adopting defensive stances, but rather boldly seize the opportunities that these technologies offer for creating new market linkages and for developing customer insights that create innovative brand value and impact, by tapping into opportunities for creative self-expression.     

Effects of Homeopathic Mother Tinctures on Breath Alcohol Testing

In some countries, it is illegal to drive with any detectable amount of alcohol in blood; in others, the legal limit is 0.5 g/L or lower. Recently, some defendants charged with driving under the influence of alcohol and have claimed that positive breath alcohol test results were due to the ingestion of homeopathic mother tinctures. These preparations are obtained by maceration, digestion, infusion, or decoction of herbal material in hydroalcoholic solvent. A series of tests were conducted to evaluate the alcoholic content of three homeopathic mother tinctures and their ability to produce inaccurate breath alcohol results. Nine of 30 subjects gave positive results (0.11–0.82 g/L) when tests were taken within 1 min after drinking mother tincture. All tests taken at least 15 min after the mother tincture consumption and resulted in alcohol-free readings. An observation period of 15–20 min prior to breath alcohol testing eliminates the possibility of false-positive results.     

基于裁判文书的法学实证研究之审视

知识图谱分析结果表明,基于裁判文书的法学实证研究成果数量总体上呈现增长趋势,但在近两年出现明显下降;基于裁判文书法学实证研究学术群体规模正在逐步缓慢扩大,但研究成果在研究主体间的分布呈较为集中趋势;研究成果所涉及学科领域具有较为明显的局限性,且具体研究内容伴随热点问题获得短暂爆发之后开始呈退缩之势。在方法转型背景之下,基于裁判文书法学实证研究的演变,受到研究方法在数据可得性、数据完整性以及数据客观性等方面所存在之优势与缺陷影响。研究人员自身应当在研究过程中通过丰富研究数据、规范研究方法之适用以及推动数据处理技术的发展等方式寻求基于裁判文书法学实证研究的长远发展之道。

微罪不诉人员社会帮教机制的完善

近年来,检察机关在审查起诉过程中逐步扩大了微罪不诉的适用范围,创新了微罪不诉人员的帮教机制,使本应受到刑事处罚的轻微犯罪行为人重新回归社会,回归家庭。目前,检察机关应依托现有资源和司法体制,对微罪不诉人员采用不同的新型帮教模式,并建立微罪不诉人员帮教联席会议、委托帮教、隐性帮教保密等项制度,以更好地教育感化犯罪行为人,帮助其正常生活,远离犯罪。     

科学看待儿童读经

从时间、内容、方法和效果等四个维度认真剖析儿童读经现象,假若选择读经的时间适宜、经文思想性合乎当代中国的时代精神、经文难度系数得当、学生阅读方法科学,那么,适度让儿童读一些中国经典文章是一种妥当的教育方式,这样做既有利于中国优秀经典文化和中华传统美德在新时代的传承与发展,也有利于让儿童逐渐生成文化自觉意识和文化认同感,进而生成既与时代精神相对接又有中国文化根基的健全人格,还有利于儿童身心的"可持续性发展".
