金融创新背景下个体网络借贷犯罪行为的认定

个体网络借贷发展迅速,但监管缺失导致了该行业的畸形发展,刑事风险攀升。《关于促进互联网金融健康发展的指导意见》首次对个体网络借贷做出规定,意义重大。个体网络借贷中债权转让和平台担保两种模式游走于罪与非罪的模糊地带,在相关立法和司法解释出台前,对这两种平台经营模式,刑法应该保持谦抑,谨慎介入。     

论案件事实信息的法律属性

诉讼证据中蕴涵的案件事实信息的收集、运用、识别和认定都应当符合法律规定的原则和程序。诉讼中要突出案件事实信息的法律属性,必须强化民事诉讼中的原被告双方或者刑事诉讼中的控辩双方的具有对抗性的举证和质证、分析和反驳,同时,法官应着重审查原被告或控辩双方举示的证据是否符合法律规定的条件,并对诉讼证据中蕴涵或留存的案件事实信息是否真实,以及这些案件事实信息是否就是证据事实,这些证据事实是否能够足以证明(即恢复或还原)案件事实,作为定案的根据等进行识别和认定。     

Bayesian t-tests for correlations and partial correlations

In this paper, we develop Bayes factor based testing procedures for the presence of a correlation or a partial correlation. The proposed Bayesian tests are obtained by restricting the class of the alternative hypotheses to maximize the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis when the Bayes factor is larger than a specified threshold. It turns out that they depend simply on the frequentist t-statistics with the associated critical values and can thus be easily calculated by using a spreadsheet in Excel and in fact by just adding one more step after one has performed the frequentist correlation tests. In addition, they are able to yield an identical decision with the frequentist paradigm, provided that the evidence threshold of the Bayesian tests is determined by the significance level of the frequentist paradigm. We illustrate the performance of the proposed procedures through simulated and real-data examples.     

现行证据法定形式批判

我国的证据法定形式只有八种,诉讼中证据只能以这八种法定形式存在,不能再包括其他任何形式的证据。这样的证据法定形式存在三个深层次问题：一是证据法定形式呈现封闭性,很多证据无法归入八种限定的法定形式;二是法定证据定义阙如,各证据法定形式内涵外延不确定;三是证据法定形式划分标准混乱,各证据法定形式相互交叉叠床架屋。这种不合理的立法规定导致了司法实践中证据法定形式形同虚设。因此,对现行的证据法定形式进行批判,着力解决上述三个问题,是非常必要的。     

A Commentary on David Drucker's “Ask a Silly Question,Get a Silly Answer

ABSTRACT

This commentary views Drucker's paper as an example of practitioner research aimed both at developing a stronger evidence base for the profession, and promoting a form of thinking useful to Western social work practice. Links are also drawn between the ideas expressed in “Ask a Silly Question” and participatory social work in several non-Western parts of the world.     

刑事诉讼法修正后毒品犯罪案件证据制度的完善

由于毒品犯罪案件有其特殊性,其证据的取得、认定、运用等多方面存在诸多困难。新颁布的《刑事诉讼法修正案》增加了电子证据种类,肯定了"控制下交付"的侦查措施,明确了证人出庭保护等制度,为今后查办和认定毒品犯罪案件提供新的保障,当然也提出了新问题。     

诈欺不法原因给付财物与利益之刑法分析

诈欺基于不法原因给付的财物或者财产性利益的场合下是否成立诈骗罪,德国、日本和我国的立法、判例和学说都有所不同。在诈欺的对象是财物的场合下,基于不法原因给付的财物在因诈欺行为交付之前,也是民事法上保护的对象等原因,应当肯定诈骗罪的成立。在诈欺的对象是财产性利益的场合下,不法利益本身并非民事法上应当得到保护的利益,不应得到刑法保护,应否定财产罪的成立。     

Evidence-based practice: a critical reflection

This article employs the process of critical reflection to uncover and challenge the hegemonic assumptions of evidence-based practice (EBP). The critical reflection process results in a re-conceptualisation of best practices that, while still honouring empirical research, is less hierarchical and more inclusive of a broad spectrum of interests than traditional EBP. Multidimensional Evidence-Based Practice (MEBP) validates consumer wisdom, professional experience, and qualitative research as equal partners to quantitative research in determining current state-of-the art best practices. Furthermore, MEBP incorporates a value-critical analysis of those best practices that can lead to improvements and innovations, so that ‘best practices’ becomes a dynamic rather than a static construct.     

A Bayesian Evidence Synthesis for Estimating Campylobacteriosis Prevalence

Stakeholders making decisions in public health and world trade need improved estimations of the burden‐of‐illness of foodborne infectious diseases. In this article, we propose a Bayesian meta‐analysis or more precisely a Bayesian evidence synthesis to assess the burden‐of‐illness of campylobacteriosis in France. Using this case study, we investigate campylobacteriosis prevalence, as well as the probabilities of different events that guide the disease pathway, by (i) employing a Bayesian approach on French and foreign human studies (from active surveillance systems, laboratory surveys, physician surveys, epidemiological surveys, and so on) through the chain of events that occur during an episode of illness and (ii) including expert knowledge about this chain of events. We split the target population using an exhaustive and exclusive partition based on health status and the level of disease investigation. We assume an approximate multinomial model over this population partition. Thereby, each observed data set related to the partition brings information on the parameters of the multinomial model, improving burden‐of‐illness parameter estimates that can be deduced from the parameters of the basic multinomial model. This multinomial model serves as a core model to perform a Bayesian evidence synthesis. Expert knowledge is introduced by way of pseudo‐data. The result is a global estimation of the burden‐of‐illness parameters with their accompanying uncertainty.     

论刑法中的占有——《最高人民法院公报》相关案例的回顾与评析

财物是否是遗忘物,不能根据财物的民法属性予以判断,而是应该考察案件的具体情况,结合财物本身的性质、放置的地点、时间等各种要素,根据人们的日常生活观念予以判断.委托物如果是封缄物,其占有归属不能仅仅根据自然事实,认为属于受托人,而应该注重封缄的目的性,认为占有属于委托人,无论受托人占有内容物还是整体物,都构成盗窃罪.盗窃罪以非法占有目的为必要,其内容为排除他人占有,并且按照财物的经济用途或者可能用途利用他人的财物.
