论民事诉讼中强制调解的理性定位

强制调解是随着调解的功能逐渐向多元化方向发展所兴起的一种具有特色的调解方式,是发挥调解功能的特别考量。强制调解主要包括法定前置型强制调解、裁量型强制调解以及技术型强制调解三种类型。虽然强制调解是一个与自愿调解相对的概念,但并不意味着它否定了自愿原则,需要正确看待它与自愿原则的关系,理性地看待强制调解,并对其正当性进行分析。     

Healthy Active Living: A Residence Community–Based Intervention to Increase Physical Activity and Healthy Eating During the Transition to First-Year University

Abstract

Objective: To examine the effects of a Healthy Active Living (HAL) community intervention on moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), fruit and vegetable consumption (FVC), and psychosocial mediators of physical activity among students transitioning into university. Methods: Sixty undergraduate students were assigned to reside in either the HAL community or no-treatment control residence and completed questionnaire measures at the beginning and end of the academic year. Results: Students living in the HAL community reported significantly more MVPA (F[1, 58] = 19.93, p <.001, η_p² =.26) and greater FVC (F[1, 56] = 3.12, p =.08, η_p² =.05) compared with controls. Participants in the HAL condition also scored significantly higher in action planning (F[1, 58] = 4.79, p <.05, η_p² =.08), partially mediating the effect of the intervention on MVPA. Conclusion: A peer-delivered healthy lifestyles intervention targeting first-year university students appears to be effective in preserving or enhancing health behaviors and cognitions during their transition into university life.     

论我国民事诉前调解程序之构建——以《民诉法修正案（草案）》增加“先行调解”为切入点

十一届全国人大常委会第23次会议初次审议并公布的《民诉法修正案（草案）》增加了“先行调解”的规定，但规定过于原则抽象，不具有可操作性。关于立案后的先行调解，我国民诉法及相关司法解释已有明确规定，但立案之前的先行调解，却尚付阙如，这与司法实践中诉前调解正如火如荼进行的现状形成了强烈反差。由于缺乏成熟的制度设计和立法支持，各地法院诉前调解的做法大相径庭，暴露出很多问题。因此，有必要对诉前调解的理论内涵及司法实践作深入分析，从而为我国建立统一的诉前调解程序提出建设性的意见。     

Rapping About Rap: Parental Mediation of Gender-Stereotyped Media Content

Abstract

This article examines adolescent reports of parental mediation of hip-hop music videos, a medium that has been celebrated for its artistry and empowering youth, yet criticized for stereotyped portrayals of women and men. Survey data of 315 adolescents (M age?=?15.2, SD?=?1.73) investigated the relationship between adolescent reports of viewing hip-hop music videos, parent-child communication about these videos, and attitudes about gender and the music videos. Respondents reported low levels of both positive and negative parental mediation of hip-hop music videos, yet when they occurred, reports of negative mediation positively predicted critical attitudes about these videos.

Justice that Restores

SUMMARY

Restorative justice is a movement within criminal justice that draws from a conception of justice as personal rather than impersonal. This article offers a definition of restorative justice and describes its hallmark programs: victim offender mediation, conferencing, circles, restitution, and community service. It explores the differences between restorative justice and contemporary criminal justice, including their relative strengths. Whereas criminal justice derives from an impersonal conception of justice, restorative justice draws from a personal understanding. Differences between the two views of justice are described, and a brief survey of history and cultures demonstrates that personal conceptions of justice have played, and continue to play, significant roles in shaping societies' responses to crime.

民间法在民事调解案件中的体现——以烟台某基层法院案例为切入点

在民事诉讼法中把法院调解确定为基本原则和一种诉讼程序,是我国民事诉讼制度中的一个重要特征。民间法作为调解依据具备了促成调解方案顺利、恰当达成的诸多优点。通过对三类案例中民间法适用情况的分析,可以看出民间法是实然存在的,并且能够在国家法的规制范围内发挥其有利作用。由于民间法与民事调解有共同的生存背景和价值取向,民间法凭借自身的优势可以发挥衡平作用。     

受贿罪若干问题研究

为了弥补法律的缺陷,为预防和惩治受贿犯罪提供更加科学的理论依据,通过评述国内法学界学者的观点,并结合我国刑法的规定,对受贿犯罪有争议的几个问题进行了探讨,认为受贿罪中“贿赂”的范围既包括财产和财产性利益,也包括其他不正当利益;“为他人谋取利益”,是指国家工作人员有为他人谋取利益的许诺,不要求有为他人谋取利益的客观行为与结果;已离、退休的国家工作人员可以成为受贿罪的主体;在斡旋受贿中行为人与被利用者的职务之间不存在制约关系。
