孟子论舜所涉道德判断与选择问题初探——以“不告而娶”为中心

孟子对舜的诸多论述体现出独特的观念：首先,孝作为一种道德原则源于人的本性之善。其次,孝是具有最高价值的道德原则,它不仅能够实现于血亲关系和家庭中,也可推及于社会群体及天地万物,具有强大的示范与感化作用。再次,在具体的实践方式上,为人子者应顺乎父母、得乎父母,对父母时时保持发诸本心的诚与敬。最后,在不同的道德原则发生冲突时,应根据具体情境选择具有更高价值的道德原则作为判断与选择的标准,做到原则性与灵活性的统一。     

The development and pilot testing of a family treatment court best practices assessment: The model standards implementation scale

In 2019, the family treatment court (FTC) best practice standards (the Standards) were published to clarify attributes of FTC programs associated with superior child, parent, and family outcomes. The Standards cover the breadth of FTC operations including program structure and leadership, substance use treatment and complementary services, and behavioral responses to participants. This study aimed to develop an instrument (the Model Standards Implementation Scale; “MSIS”) that stakeholders can use to assess implementation of the Standards by individual FTCs. The MSIS balances usability with scientific validity. Interrater reliability (IRR), internal consistency, and several types of validity were assessed. Results indicated moderate to strong IRR, high internal consistency, mixed known groups validity depending on Standard, and high convergent and divergent validity. Initial findings suggest good validity and usability of the MSIS for evaluating FTC Standards' implementation. Notably, the process of using the tool functioned to educate FTC team members on the Standards. Although implementation of the MSIS is a resource-intensive process, the opportunity to receive constructive feedback proved to be an effective incentive for initial and subsequent participation in the evaluation among FTCs. Future research is needed to examine predictive validity, including association between Standards' implementation and family outcomes in FTCs.     

Specific Characteristics of Injuries Inflicted by Claw Hammer

Claw hammers have the specific characteristic of having two distinct ends: one a flat head of variable form, the other bifurcated. So the use of this tool as a blunt instrument will cause varying injuries. The authors present two clinical cases of assault with a claw hammer. Examinations revealed two types of wound. A first injury composed of integumentary lacerations and underlying bone injuries in terms of “shape” suggested the use of a blunt instrument. A second injury made up of damage showing two parallel wounds or two wounds located one in the extension of the other suggested the use of an object with a bifurcated end. The combination of both types of injury should alert examiners to the possibility of the use of a claw hammer in causing the injuries in order to help direct investigators in their investigations and in the search for the weapon used.     

Influence of acculturation strategies on the judgement and punishment of an offender of North African descent

Very few studies have examined the influence of the acculturation strategies of an offender of foreign descent on the way a third party judges the personality and action of that offender. The aim of our study was thus to measure the effect of three variables (Seriousness of the harm suffered by the victim; Type of acculturation strategy of the offender; Level of Social Dominance Orientation [SDO]) of the person making the judgement) on the judgements and decisions made by a sample of students faced with a situation of physical aggression committed by a man of North African descent living in France. After reading a scenario describing a criminal act committed by a man of North African descent, who had or had not adopted French culture, 168 French students completed a judgement scale concerning the criminal act and the offender and an SDO scale. The results show that the crime was perceived as less serious when the perpetrator had adopted French culture than when he had not. The perpetrator was also judged less severely. Participants with higher levels of SDO advocated harsher punishment and attributed the crime to the offender’s personality. We discuss these results and identify new avenues for research.     

票据救济对抗事由评析

票据救济对抗是指在票据救济过程中因某种事由的出现而导致救济无效的法律后果。票据救济是票据丧失后的补救措施,其结果是真实票据权利人不持有票据行使票据权利。在挂失止付期间有人请求付款、在公示催告期间有人主张权利、在普通诉讼付款后持票人请求付款,都会引起票据权利争议,以确认票据的归属,但是票据被善意取得和无过失付款的结果却使票据救济归于无效。     

加拿大承认与执行外国法院判决制度初探

外国法院判决的承认与执行是国际私法所调整的重要内容 ,英美法系国家将其视为国际私法应解决的三大问题之一。加拿大承认与执行外国法院判决的制度中吸收了英美等国的一些基本原则 ,但也逐渐发展出其自身的特点 ,尤其在近年来 ,加拿大法院逐渐放松了对外国判决承认与执行的限制 ,使外国判决较易在加拿大得到承认与执行。本文即结合加拿大承认与执行制度在实践中的发展趋势 ,阐述其承认与执行外国法院判决的一般要求和主要抗辩。     

一部终局判决刍议

将诉讼事件的一部分与他部分分离,先予终结的终局判决,即称一部终局判决。我们所熟悉的判决绝大部分都是全部终局判决,而对一部终局判决的认识则相对匮乏。一部终局判决可以简化审理过程．避免当事人与法院进行不必要的纠缠,进而节省诉讼资源,同时可以使当事人就该一部终局判决部分先获解决,使得胜诉者之私权早获保护。     

Connectivity

Abstract

The concept ‘connectivity’ is most widely used in communication technology, referring to the linkage between electronics, computers, computer systems and the people who use them, but it is also a heuristic concept with great utility in the broader discipline of Communication and beyond. This article traces the concept from its theoretical origins in information science to the core position that it holds in all traditions of the Communication discipline. It assesses the physiological, psychological and sociological dimensions of connectivity and considers the application of the concept as an instrument for understanding and resolving the problems, issues and opportunities of the world around us. The article ends with some insights into the practical utility of the concept in the spheres of social and institutional development, productivity, performance and the generation of competitive advantage.     

146例体表损伤类型与致伤物分析

目的 探讨致伤物推断的法医学鉴定及其鉴定意见的证据价值.方法 收集1998-2007年间皖南医学院司法鉴定中心受理的致伤物推断案件146例,通过人体体表损伤特征的分析,推断致伤物.并通过推断致伤物与实际致伤物的比较,分析致伤物推断的准确性. 结果根据锐器伤推断致伤物的准确性要比根据钝器伤推断致伤物的准确性高.结论 致伤物推断结果尚存在一定的不确定性,必须结合其他证据,才能作为定案的依据.     

论票据质押背书的效力——《票据法》与《物权法》之间立法冲突的协调

在我国《票据法》和《物权法》中,质押背书对票据出质具有不同的作用,于前者为生效要件,于后者则没有要求。尽管如此,两个法律文件关于票据出质的规则并不存在根本冲突。当事人既可按照《票据法》经质押背书设立票据法上的票据质权,也可以按照普通债权质押设立物权法上的票据质权。只不过,根据不同法律规则设立的票据质权在内容上存在差异,且未经背书的票据质押因为不符合背书这一技术要求而不具备《票据法》上的特别效力。
