论法律职业化的伦理精神

法律职业伦理精神在法律职业化进程中具有重大功能和作用,进而深刻地影响着法治现代化和司法现代化进程.关注人性的伦理精神,即尊重公民权利和限制国家权力,是法律职业化的逻辑起点;正义是社会体制的第一美德,崇尚正义的伦理精神构成了法律职业化的价值基础;法治是迄今为止人类治理国家和社会的最好模式,忠于法律的伦理精神是法律职业化的直接动力;珍视荣誉的伦理精神从内部维系着法律职业共同体并保证共同体的社会地位和声誉,是法律职业化的内在源泉.     

Robustness of Risk Maps and Survey Networks to Knowledge Gaps About a New Invasive Pest

In pest risk assessment it is frequently necessary to make management decisions regarding emerging threats under severe uncertainty. Although risk maps provide useful decision support for invasive alien species, they rarely address knowledge gaps associated with the underlying risk model or how they may change the risk estimates. Failure to recognize uncertainty leads to risk‐ignorant decisions and miscalculation of expected impacts as well as the costs required to minimize these impacts. Here we use the information gap concept to evaluate the robustness of risk maps to uncertainties in key assumptions about an invading organism. We generate risk maps with a spatial model of invasion that simulates potential entries of an invasive pest via international marine shipments, their spread through a landscape, and establishment on a susceptible host. In particular, we focus on the question of how much uncertainty in risk model assumptions can be tolerated before the risk map loses its value. We outline this approach with an example of a forest pest recently detected in North America, Sirex noctilio Fabricius. The results provide a spatial representation of the robustness of predictions of S. noctilio invasion risk to uncertainty and show major geographic hotspots where the consideration of uncertainty in model parameters may change management decisions about a new invasive pest. We then illustrate how the dependency between the extent of uncertainties and the degree of robustness of a risk map can be used to select a surveillance network design that is most robust to knowledge gaps about the pest.     

The effects of internal resources and partnership quality on firm performance: An examination of Indian BPO providers

Firms from developed nations are increasingly resorting to business process outsourcing (BPO) as part of their global sourcing strategy. Although BPO is a growing practice, there has been limited empirical attention in understanding the phenomenon, particularly from the perspective of provider firms that execute important business processes for their overseas clients. In this paper we focus on the resources and capabilities that are utilized by the providers in fulfilling their clients' sourcing needs. Using resource-based view and social exchange as theoretical foundations, we argue that providers' human capital, organizational capital, management capability, and partnership quality are crucial assets that are deemed valuable by the clients and are utilized by the providers in attaining higher performance. Using a sample of Indian BPO providers, we empirically test three models (direct, mediating and moderating) to understand how these assets impact firm-level performance. Results show that resources and capabilities relate to performance in varying measures and partnership quality has partial-mediating and moderating effects on these relationships. We conclude by discussing the theoretical and practical implications of the study and highlighting avenues of future inquiry.

西方现代派戏剧在中国之命运

西方现代派戏剧在中国经历了两起两落的过程。五四前后导入、传播和兴起 ,到30年代衰落 ;80年代再度传播和复振 ,到 90年代式微 ,其中历史经验和教训十分深刻。选择、过滤和消化之后 ,才会形成特色。田汉、曹禺等人为代表的诗化现实主义流派 ,代表中国话剧的优秀传统。改革开放后 ,西方现代派戏剧再次涌入 ,导致“探索戏剧”兴起 ,中国话剧舞台发生巨大变化。     

现象学还原方法与文学批评

完整的现象学还原方法分为“悬置”、“本质还原”和“先验还原”三个步骤 ,也可以说是三个相对独立的方法。它们体现着“返回事物本身”的现象学态度。英伽顿和日内瓦学派都在各自的现象学文学批评中运用了前两种方法。其结果之一是造成这些文学批评的一定的“文本中心”现象。
