Beating the bounds: how does ‘open source’ become a seed commons?

In response to ongoing plant genetic enclosures, the Open Source Seed Initiative (OSSI) is creating a ‘protected commons’ for seed. It is a project, I argue, that reflects characteristics of a growing transnational commoning movement. From the Zapatistas to seed wars, such movements draw attention to commons not simply as a resource, but as a dynamic and evolving social activity: commoning. In the US, OSSI includes 38 plant breeders, 48 seed companies and 377 crop varieties. Yet challenges remain for OSSI to gain wider legitimacy for ‘freed seed’, to build trust in a moral pledge, and to establish fair guidelines for which people and which seed can participate in making the commons. Using the metaphor of ‘beating the bounds’ – a feudal practice of contesting enclosures – I ask how OSSI defends the commons in intersecting arenas. The first way is legal, as OSSI negotiates a move from contract law toward moral economy law. Next is epistemic, as an informal breeder network revitalizes farmer knowledge, while proving more structurally able and culturally equipped to lead commoning efforts. Finally, I reflect on the nature of boundary beating itself, aided by Global South movements. Seed sovereignty perspectives suggest room for a pluriverse of commons to grow.

A City‐wide Investigation of the Isotopic Distribution and Source of Tap Waters for Forensic Human Geolocation Ground‐truthing

Human geolocation is prefaced on the accuracy of the geographic precision of mapped isotopic values for drinking water. As most people live in cities, it becomes important to understand city water supplies and how the isotopic values uniquely reflect that city. This study investigated the isotopic distribution of δ²H and δ¹⁸O from sourced tap waters that were collected from across the Metro Vancouver (MV) area (n = 135). The results revealed that the isotopic values reflect their water sources with a range of 5.3‰ for δ¹⁸O_tap and 29.3‰ for δ²H_tap for MV. The results indicate that individual cities need higher resolution studies to determine their tap water isotopic ranges, and a good understanding of the water supply network itself for human geolocation work. With an extended high‐resolution understanding of each city, human tissue may be compared with more certainty for geolocation.     

论连结点的孤立与矫正

连结点的孤立表现为冲突规范的指引在空间和时间两个维度与案件整体缺乏联系,这是双边法律选择方法难以避免的现象。随着法律选择价值目标的演变,应允许法官在特殊案件中摆脱孤立连结点的指引,裁量适用与案件具有更加密切联系的法律。对连结点的矫正应坚持规则导向,为双边法律选择注入有限的灵活性。     

大学生"热点"教育的过程选择与价值归正

随着社会主义市场经济的发展,高校面临的思想政治教育环境日益复杂,高校思想政治道德教育必须要结合社会发展的实际情况进行不断的发展与创新。其中,关键是要注重解决现实问题,尤其要通过对社会热点问题的分析,对大学生急于了解和关注的社会热点、焦点问题,给予科学引导和分析,使思想政治道德教育具有较强的实践性和时效性。     

全球化与马克思主义发展的生长点

从全球化视角解读马克思主义发展的生长点,不仅可以获得一种新的更为宏阔的视角,而且可以在一定程度上丰富“马克思主义发展的生长点”的命题。为此,我们应站在全球化的制高点上,把马克思主义置于全球化这一人类文明发展的过程中,阐明全球化的勃兴与马克思主义的当代价值、全球化的历史进程与马克思主义理论发展的生长点的关系,并进一步揭示当下全球化的社会变革对马克思主义传统理论提出的新挑战。正确地回应这些挑战,是在全球化背景下寻找马克思主义发展的生长点的契机。     

实施替代资源开发 实现生态与经济协调发展

生态与经济的协调发展依赖于生态环境的可承受能力、可持续的能源支撑和替代能源特别是生态能源的开发,调整优化能源供给与需求结构需要改变常规能源的供给与消费结构,更需要大力发展核能、太阳能、水能、风能、地热和生物等替代能源,并使利益诱导成为替代新能源开发的基础机制。因此,必须推动节能技术和替代能源,特别是生态能源利用技术的发展,并提供政策和法律制度的支持、保障和激励。     

论侵权领域的当事人意思自治原则

当事人意思自治原则是涉外合同领域确定准据法的首要原则,但近年来,当事人意思自治原则有向侵权领域扩展的趋势,其原因有内、外两方面。侵权领域选择法律的做法可以促使当事人更好地解决争议。     

市场与政府：当代中西方行政改革的基点

市场与政府是市场经济发展进程中两个交互演进的主题,市场失灵与政府失灵使二者走向现代整合的趋势。自20世纪70年代末以来,一些国家掀起了声势浩大的行政改革运动,浪潮迅即席卷全球。当代行政改革以寻求政府与市场的均衡为基点,通过市场化的改革重塑政府的职能与行为方式,体现了政府退缩和市场价值的回归。这种市场化的取向既是全球化与信息时代对改革的迫切需求,又是市场经济发展中政府与市场"两只手"较量与作用的结果。
