论人民法院庭审旁听制度

旁听庭审是落实宪法确立的公开审判原则的一项重要内容。现代司法的剧场化、法院的人为障碍、旁听庭审缺乏制度保障等因素造成了旁听率不高的现象。为此,法院应以积极的态度为公众旁听提供必要的制度保障,在立法上进一步完善旁听制度。     

和谐视野下我国刑事审判监督程序的完善

随着我国市场经济和民主政治的发展,我国刑事审判监督程序存在着诉讼理念落后于时代发展,启动事由和启动主体规定的过于宽泛等诸多问题.因此,应从更新司法理念,取消人民法院主动提起刑事再审程序的资格,合理界定启动我国刑事审判监督程序的理由,提高再审程序审理法院的级别,限制再审次数等方面加以完善,使之最大限度地维护司法公正,保护...     

高等院校诊所式法律教育的本土化研究

诊所式法律教育起源于20世纪60年代的美国大学法学院教育课程,是一种实践性质的法律教育课程。这种模式通过设立法律诊所,以学生作为教学的主体,法学教师作为指导,由学生去代理或者以其它方式接触各类案件,接触真实的案件当事人,在法学专业教师的指导下,为当事人处理案件,解答法律咨询。学生在这个过程中学习法律知识,锻炼运用法律解决问题的实际能力,进而缩小理论培养与实践技能的差距。目前,在我国实施本土诊所式法学教育,存在教育理念、教育模式、教育机构等方面的障碍。应结合国情,转变法学教育理念,合理筹化教育经费,并将诊所教育纳入系统法学教学计划。     

Investigation of the robustness of two models for assessing synergy in pre‐clinical drug combination studies

Pre‐clinical studies may be used to screen for synergistic combinations of drugs. The types of in vitro assays used for this purpose will depend upon the disease area of interest. In oncology, one frequently used study measures cell line viability: cells placed into wells on a plate are treated with doses of two compounds, and cell viability is assessed from an optical density measurement corrected for blank well values. These measurements are often transformed and analysed as cell survival relative to untreated wells. The monotherapies are assumed to follow the Hill equation with lower and upper asymptotes at 0 and 1, respectively. Additionally, a common variance about the dose–response curve may be assumed. In this paper, we consider two models for incorporating synergy parameters. We investigate the effect of different models of biological variation on the assessment of synergy from both of these models. We show that estimates of the synergy parameters appear to be robust, even when estimates of the other model parameters are biased. Using untransformed measurements provides better coverage of the 95% confidence intervals for the synergy parameters than using transformed measurements, and the requirement to fit the upper asymptote does not cause difficulties. Assuming homoscedastic variances appears to be robust. The added complexity of determining and fitting an appropriate heteroscedastic model does not seem to be justified.

CORRELATES FOR ACTIVE AND PASSIVE TYPES OF BURNOUT

An empirical approach to understanding burnout is presented. Data from 183 protective service workers revealed two types of burnout: active and passive. Correlation analyses suggest that active burnout is associated witb organizational factors or elements external to the professional; passive burnout appears to be associated with more internal social psychological factors. These findings help render consistent the variety of definitions offered in the literature, and they underscore a need to operationalize the phenomenon of burnout.     

论中国电影在尝试期与文学的交融与间离

中国电影在尝试阶段从文学中汲取了丰富的养料,电影指称的形成和确立、电影的摄制等方面可见明显的文学元素。中国电影是在对文学作品的转录和改编中起步和发展的。中国电影的尝试期与文学的变革期恰好发生契合,这种契合给二者的相互学习和借鉴提供了语境。此际,中国新文学力主破旧立新,而中国电影一方面极力从中国传统文学中汲取养料,一方面有着强烈的独立诉求,使得二者在深度交融的同时,也表现出明显的间离。这种交融与间离既推动了二者的发展和成熟,也给中国文学艺术增添了新的元素和新的发展动力。     

A Review of Automated Assessment

Summary

The following briefly overviews current computer tools available for clinical testing, diagnostic, and interviewing purposes. The impact of these computer-based assessment tools is then assessed in terms of empirical evidence regarding their performance and client response. The paper concludes with a discussion of training needs ana issues.     

Analyzing HIV/AIDS and Alcohol and Other Drug Use as a Social Problem

Most prevention and intervention activities directed toward HIV/AIDS and alcohol and other drug use separately as well as the combining of the two (e.g., those who are both HIV/AIDS and using alcohol and other drugs) comes in the form of specific, individualized therapies without consideration of social influences that may have a greater impact on this population. Approaching this social problem from the narrowed view of individualized, micro solutions disregards the larger social conditions that affect or perhaps even are at the root of the problem. This paper analyzes the social problem of HIV/AIDS and alcohol and other drug abuse using three sociological perspectives—social construction theory, ethnomethodology, and conflict theory—informing the reader of the broader influences accompanying this problem.     

Qualitative Study on the Impact of Child Sexual Abuse: Perspectives of Children,Caregivers, and Professionals in Indian Context

ABSTRACT

With an alarming increase in reported cases of Child Sexual Abuse (CSA) in India, the present study was conceived in an attempt to unearth the impact of CSA from the perspective of children, their caregivers, and the professionals dealing with them using qualitative research methodology. The secondary objective of the study was to discuss the clinical implications of the obtained findings for conducting culturally sensitive psychological assessment and intervention for CSA in India. Thus, in-depth interviews with 11 children and 7 Focused Group Discussions (FGDs) with 21 caregivers and 27 professionals were conducted. A total of 59 sample participants were recruited, and a thematic analysis was done. Six broad themes were identified from 223 generated codes-impact on behavioral, emotional, cognitive functioning and academics, psychopathology, biological, and social functioning. Four essential recommendations were concluded from the study, i.e., multidimensional impact assessment as a mandatory clinical practice, developing and utilizing culturally sensitive assessment & intervention protocols, incorporation of family-focused approach and multidisciplinary treatment team approach to ensure the holistic well-being of each chilsd in India.     

Comparative Analysis of State Statutes

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to analyze statutory requirements regarding prenatal substance abuse reporting, related healthcare assessments, and state interventions with reported women and their families. The author conducted a legal search of the statutes of ten states, which were identified as having “specific gestational abuse statutes” in previous literature (Lieb & Sterk-Elifson, 1995).

The findings revealed that seven of the ten states included a specific reporting requirement. Even in these seven states, neither assessment procedures nor treatment provisions were well-delineated. Only three states had specific provisions on therapeutic intervention with reported women. Based on the findings, three principles for a model statute are recommended for balancing the rights of infants and mothers.
