Muslim Family Law in Southern Thailand: A Historical Overview

Muslims have long a history of practicing Islamic law where Muslim communities are the minority. In Thailand, past governments have positively included Islamic law as a legitimate source of personal law for Muslims in the southern regions. Consequently, Muslims are governed by two different sets of laws in Thailand, one is Islamic law and the other is the secular law. However, only Islamic law is applicable for Muslims especially in settling their matrimonial disputes and inheritance. Islamic family law has a long history and has been preserved for the betterment and benefits of Muslim citizens especially in the four Muslim provinces of Thailand. This study aims to describe the development of Islamic law through the different periods of governments in southern Thailand. The development of Islamic family law and the application of Islamic law along with its judicial aspects under the administration of Thailand will also be discusssed.     

Fabric that weaves stories: Pua kumbu and contemporary Iban identity construction in Sarawak,Malaysia

This article examines the process of identity construction among the Iban indigenous people of Sarawak in Malaysia through pua kumbu – their sacred and ritual cloth. Although the Ibans are popularly known for their headhunting practices and longhouse dwellings, these cultural practices are in major decline and therefore pua kumbu is brought to the forefront as a significant means of identity construction. By illustrating the meanings, narratives, and ceremonies associated with pua kumbu, this article demonstrates that pua kumbu is not just a piece of sacred or ritual cloth; rather, it has significant meanings in the everyday life of the Ibans. It connects the Ibans with distinctly eternal meanings of their life and cosmology, past histories, and their connections to the physical environment. It thus helps the process of maintaining a boundary and identity construction of the Ibans by distinguishing between ‘us and them’ – the Ibans and others.     

西南边境民族地区高校大学生思想道德教育研究——基于云南省的实证分析

当前云南边境民族地区高校大学生思想道德素质总体态势良好。但由于社会转型、境外意识形态强势渗透、高校思想政治教育针对性和实效性不强以及大学生自律理性偏弱等,导致了部分学生理想信念缺失、功利性特征明显、道德认知与道德实践明显脱节等问题的出现。坚持用社会主义核心价值体系引领当代大学生、不断完善高校思想政治理论课的教育内容、加大高校德育的实践力度、培养一支立场坚定、愿意扎根边疆的教师队伍以及强化公民教育,塑造责任公民,是现实的客观要求和有效的解决途径。     

情的突显与缺失——《女才子书》的思想内容及人物塑造分析

《女才子书》在思想内容上以"情"为主题,体现出作者进步的婚恋观和妇女观;而在人物塑造上,《女才子书》却不可避免地出现了人物概念化的倾向.这与作者的创作目的和创作方法有关.     

知识产权间接侵权之归责原则的探讨

知识产权间接侵权是指行为人没有实施直接侵犯知识产权的行为,但是却对直接侵犯知识产权的行为起到了诱导或者帮助的作用,从而法律规定应当承担责任的行为.我国的知识产权立法中没有关于间接侵权的规定,给司法实践带来了困惑.通过对国外知识产权间接侵权归责原则的评析以及对我国知识产权间接侵权的分析,认为知识产权间接侵权应当实行过错责任原则.     

清末女性犯罪统计的个案分析——以大理院统计为例

清朝末年,女性犯罪凸现。由大理院的统计可以看出,河南省女犯无论数量、类型都较直隶省为多。犯罪者年龄趋于年轻化、无业化,拘禁女犯有被开释和保释的机会,且多数可以交罚金,对女犯如此详尽的统计,可以看出清末社会对女犯监禁的重视程度。     

On shrinkage m-estimators of location parameters

For a general class of continuous ( and marginally symmetric ) inultivariate distributions, based on suitable M-statistics ( involving bounded but possibly discontinuous score generating functions), shrinkage estimators of location are considered. These estimators are based on the James-Stein type rule and incorporates the idea of preliminary test estimation too. The main emphasis is laid on the study of asymptotic tdistributional ) risk properties of these est-innators, and asymptotic tin-) adraissibility results are also studied under fairly general regularity conditions.     

国外关于社会直觉和内隐学习的研究进展--认知神经科学观的解释

从现象学意义和行为意义上看社会直觉与内隐学习相关,直觉社会行为与直觉社会认知取决于概念联结的自动激活,基底神经节是社会直觉与内隐学习的共同神经基础,基底神经节在行为及认知的无意识推断序列过程方面以及在非言语交际的产生及理解方面都起着很重要的作用.关于社会直觉的认知神经科学观与社会心理学的研究将会是互相促进的.     

On shrinkage least squares estimation in a parallelism problem

In a multi-sample simple regression model, generally, homogeneity of the regression slopes leads to improved estimation of the intercepts. Analogous to the preliminary test estimators, (smooth) shrinkage least squares estimators of Intercepts based on the James-Stein rule on regression slopes are considered. Relative pictures on the (asymptotic) risk of the classical, preliminary test and the shrinkage least squares estimators are also presented. None of the preliminary test and shrinkage least squares estimators may dominate over the other, though each of them fares well relative to the other estimators.
