行政垄断若干问题研究

研究行政垄断需要对行政垄断的概念、行政垄断的类别进行梳理,对行政垄断的成因进行分析。在此基础上,就行政垄断的规制路径、行政垄断的构成要件以及法律责任等相关问题进行评论,并就《反垄断法》中关于行政垄断问题需要细化和改进之处提出建议。

The maquiladora electronics industry on Mexico’s northern border and the environment

The electronic sector, in particular, the computing industry, has become an increasing concern because of the environmental impact of its products throughout their life cycle. The United States, Europe and Japan as the greatest consumers of electronic goods have given special attention to this issue. The fast computer obsolescence and its difficult confinement, because of the hazardous substances contained, have required a special effort of technical innovation. Nevertheless, this effort seems to respond mainly to the standards required by the countries in which these goods are produced, consumed and confined, which are radically different in developed and developing countries. Though an important part of the production process (assembling) is done in developing countries, little attention has been paid to the environmental quality at this production stage. This study examines the environmental problems and strategy of the electronic assembly industry in the three northern border cities of Mexico. Almost half of 200 electronic maquiladora enterprises surveyed had not undertaken any active environmental policy and there was a limited environmental standards enforcement. Evidence was found that the firms that had operated for a longer period of time had better chances of taking better care of the environment. Environmental firm policies became weaker as one descended from the head office to the subsidiaries and then to their suppliers. It is also found that some transnational corporations operate with double standards in Mexico and thus strong national policies on environmental standards in Mexico are required to change this practice.

行政计划变动中的信赖保护原则研究

行政计划的可变性比一般行政行为要大得多。在这种情况下,相对人的信赖利益是否值得保护,在什么情况下保护,以什么方式保护就成为研究行政计划变动的一个重要的理论问题。行政计划的内容是否可诉存在较大的争论,与之相比,各国行政法学理论和司法判决对行政计划变动中的信赖利益是否可诉的观点则较为一致,承认了行政计划变动下相对人寻求诉讼救济的权利。本文认为,行政计划的形成过程应当重点保障公民和有关专业人士和组织的知情权、参与权等,使计划形成时具有科学和民主的程序保证,而对于行政计划的变动过程则应更多地在法律权利保障和防止或制止行政计划裁量权滥用的外部控制机制上进行制度构建。     

Nonchemical Suffocation Deaths in Forensic Setting: A 6‐Year Retrospective Study of Environmental Suffocation,Smothering, Choking,and Traumatic/Positional Asphyxia*

Abstract: There are still several areas of forensic pathology mainly based on tradition, with textbooks explaining and describing common knowledge that is not supported by modern research data. This study is intended to contribute to evidence‐based data on nonchemical suffocation deaths in the forensic population aged more than 1 year. From 2000 to 2005, all autopsy cases were reviewed: age, gender, type of suffocation, and manner of death were compiled for all victims (96 cases). In general, the results from this study are concordant with the textbook literature, therefore supporting common knowledge related to manner of death in nonchemical suffocation. However, discrepancies have been underscored in smothering: smothering, contrary to the general belief, is probably not mostly homicidal, and accidental smothering is probably not that unusual. Furthermore, new data without actual literature correlates were obtained in the conducting of this study and are presented here.     

Recovery of Environmental Human DNA by Insects*,†

Abstract: We tested the hypotheses that foraging insects can acquire human DNA from the environment and that insect‐delivered human DNA is of sufficient quantity and quality to permit standard forensic analyses. Houseflies, German cockroaches, and camel crickets were exposed to dusty surfaces and then assayed for human mitochondrial and nuclear loci by conventional and qPCR, and multiplex STR amplification. Over two experiments, 100% of insect groups and 94% of dust controls tested positive for human DNA. Of 177 individuals, 33–67% tested positive and 13 yielded quantifiable human DNA (mean = 0.022 ± 0.006 ng; mean dust control = 2.448 ± 0.960 ng); four had at least one positive allele call for one or more locus; eight others showed multiple peaks at some loci. Results imply that application to routine forensic casework is limited given current detection methodology yet demonstrate the potential use of insects as environmental samplers for human DNA.     

Assessment of Silicone Polymer Composites for Environmental Forensic Applications: A Proof of Concept Study*

Abstract: This study evaluates the use of polydimethylsiloxane polymer composites (PDMS, Fe–PDMS) as a passive sampling media to preconcentrate analytes found in environmental settings. Samplers were made using commercially available silicone products. The composite samplers were assessed for their sorption properties using Atrazine and Irgarol 1051 as model compounds. The initial study assessed the utility of PDMS sheets as adsorption material by following analyte depletion from spiked water samples by solid‐phase microextraction gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Follow‐up studies conducted at high and low concentrations using lab manufactured iron‐ PDMS rods (Fe–PDMS) showed effective uptake at differential rates from concentrations ranging between 1 μg/L and 10 μg/L. Adsorption mechanism was reversible, and compounds were recovered from the exposed materials and analyzed by liquid–liquid extraction‐GC/MS. Both composites showed better affinity for Irgarol 1051, 100% removal, than for Atrazine, 30% removal, likely representing their K_OW differences, 3.6 and 2.6, respectively. This “proof of concept” study demonstrates the positive implications for the use of silicon polymer composites as a monitoring tool for environmental forensic purposes.     

计算被征收不动产价值的时间标准——美国法上的情形及其对解决“潘蓉案”的启示

被征收不动产的价值是变动的,征收补偿时,必须确定计算被征收不动产价值的时间标准。上海"潘蓉案"的重要争点之一就是应以潘蓉房产在何时的价值为补偿标准。美国法典没有对该问题的规定,部分州立法规定了计算被征收不动产价值的时间标准。美国法院一般尊重这些成文法,但如果在个案中适用成文法导致明显不公正,会援引《美国宪法第五修正案》中的公平补偿条款对时间标准做出微调。美国法的做法对我们解决"潘蓉案"有较大的启示意义。     

法经济学视野中的行政法与民法的分界

对于不当行为,立法者是选择民法还是行政法进行控制,一般需要考量四个要素：当事人与行政主体掌握的行为风险信息方面的差异、加害人的赔偿能力、索赔威胁大小和行政成本。对于损害小、损害集中且发生率低的日常行为,应选择民法进行规制;对于发生率高、损害大、发现率低、损害分散的风险行为,行政法进行控制的社会效果更为明显。当同时选择两种控制机制时,遵守行政法规一般不构成加害人对抗受害人诉求的抗辩事由。     

私法视野下的《国家赔偿法》修改

《国家赔偿法》属于特别私法,因而完全可以从私法的角度对《国家赔偿法》的修改进行考察。在修改《国家赔偿法》时,应当以私法的理念为指导,对国家侵权进行“两分”,分清国家侵权行为和国家侵权事件,抛弃“违法归责”这个不科学的概念,正确认识并恰当处理国家赔偿和错案追究之间的关系。同时,还应当解决该部法律名实不相符合的问题。
