论破产管理人的任职资格

为了保证破产程序的公正、高效进行,各国破产法无不明确规定破产管理人的积极资格与消极资格。我国现行破产法所采用的从政府官员中选任清算组的制度不仅在理论上存在着明显的弊端,而且在实践中也造成了严重的后果。我国应大力提倡从专业人士中选任破产管理人,明定破产管理人的消极资格,肯定破产清算中介机构在破产管理中的主体资格,充分发挥其在破产清算事务中的作用。     

民间组织对我国社会政治稳定的影响

民间组织在我国改革开放以后迅猛发展,对我国社会政治稳定既有积极影响的一面,也有一定的负面影响。加强对民间组织的管理,保证民间组织健康有序地发展不仅仅是登记管理机关的重要任务。公安机关作为维护社会稳定的职能部门,也应该从巩固国家政权和维护社会政治稳定的高度,积极会同登记管理机关,促使民间组织积极作用的发挥,尽可能地缩小和克服其消极面的影响,为改革开放和现代化建设创造一个稳定的社会环境。     

宗教妇女观对妇女现代化的影响

宗教关于妇女的地位、权利和义务、婚姻、品行等问题,均有许多看法,具有二重性,既有尊重妇女、符合主流社会规范的观念,也有贬低妇女、妨碍妇女发展的思想。在现代社会,宗教的妇女观对妇女的现代化依然有较大的影响。宗教的妇女观对妇女现代化有许多有益的启示和借鉴,有助于妇女实现观念、行为、人格的现代化。     

How Surrogate Impact Panels Function in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence: A Mixed-Methods Study

ABSTRACT

Intimate partner violence (IPV) continues to be an urgent social problem, despite decades of intervention and prevention efforts. Restorative justice programs (e.g., victim impact panels) may be a useful addition to intimate partner violence (IPV) intervention, but it is unclear how these panels operate and to what extent they are consistent with restorative justice models. This naturalistic study of IPV surrogate impact panels used ethnographic observation of panels (n = 18), archival analysis of audience responses to the panel (N = 287), and focus groups and interviews (k = 4) with IPV survivors, an audience member, and batterer intervention providers to investigate these gaps. Findings suggest the panels manifest interactional processes consistent with restorative justice principles. Implications, limitations, and future aims of research on these panels are discussed.

The Positive Psychology of Interested Adolescents

Using the experience sampling method (ESM) and a diverse national sample of young people, this study identifies two groups of adolescents: those who experience chronic interest in everyday life experiences and another who experience widespread boredom. These groups are compared against several measures of psychological well-being: global self-esteem, locus of control, and emotions regarding one's future prospects. It is hypothesized that a generalized chronic experience of interest, an innate physiological function, can be used as a signal for a larger measure of psychological health, while chronic boredom is a sign of psychic dysfunction. A strong association between the experience of interest and well-being was found.     

文化研究对文学研究的冲击

文化研究虽然兴起不过几十年的时间,但它却以其深厚的理论积淀向文学研究发起了冲击。它具有跨学科、超学科的特性,更多地关注文学文本以外的因素,并且淡化文学经典,把非经典、非精英文化提到相当的高度。文化研究对文学研究的冲击是全面的,但它们实质上是一种对话和互动关系。     

维多利亚时期英国城市的娼妓问题

维多利亚时期的一个典型特征就在于它严厉的性道德观,对性采取一种压抑的态度。然而,在贞洁被人们所顶礼膜拜的时候,娼妓的队伍却是十分庞大的。这种相悖的社会现象的产生有着其特殊的社会背景,同时也给社会造成了一定程度的影响。     

Caribbean electricity restructuring: an assessment

This article assesses the privatisation of the electricity sector in two Caribbean countries, Jamaica and Trinidad and Tobago, to determine if they have been successful and whether they have contributed benefits to the respective societies. Two general methods are applied in assessing the success of the divestments; attainment of governments' stated objectives and commonly used utility performance metrics together with social and customer focus indicators. The results indicate that the stated objectives were broadly achieved, and the privatisation and its attempts brought benefits to the consumers and the society in general. The short to medium term benefits were accrued through lower labour costs per unit of electricity, higher performance of plant and operations and business led decision‐making. Long‐term benefits are accrued through the reduction or elimination of electricity supply deficits. However, although the basic privatisations were successful, the absence of an adequate regulatory framework in one case may have reduced the quantum of benefits through failure to enforce continuous improvement in the privatised generation company, and reductions in worker rents in the public distribution company. Further, benefits were reduced by long divestment processes, accompanying strategic drift, opportunity costs from delayed sale proceeds and efficiency enhancement, and the costs to sustain interim operations.
