The Optimal Allocation Combination for the One-Sided Sequential Screening Procedure Based on the Individual Misclassification Error

In this article, the expected total costs of three kinds of quality cost functions for the one-sided sequential screening procedure based on the individual misclassification error are obtained, where the expected total cost is the sum of the expected cost of inspection, the expected cost of rejection, and the expected cost of quality. The computational formulas for three kinds of expected total costs are derived when k screening variables are allocated into r stages. The optimal allocation combination is determined based on the criterion of minimum expected total cost. At last, we give one example to illustrate the selection of the optimal allocation combination for the sequential screening procedure.     

论我国人民陪审员参审的角色重构与实现路径

当前我国人民陪审员制度改革的核心是将人民陪审员"法律内行、同职同权"的角色期望纠正为"法律外行、异职异权",将人民陪审员"消极参与"与"过于积极参与"并存的角色认知纠正为"民主的参与者,事实真相的发现者和社会价值的代言者",以推动人民陪审员制度充分发挥促进司法民主、司法公正和司法公信的功能.在人民陪审员制度改革基本框架已确立的前提下,应通过完善配套制度建设将改革的基本前提预设转化为正当的司法运作秩序,保证当前人民陪审员制度改革生根发芽.这些制度主要包括两种类型:事实领域的人民陪审员知晓争议焦点规范与人民陪审员一事一证规范,意见效力领域的合议庭评议规范和审委会及二审法院复审规范.     

Seroadaptive Strategies of Vancouver Gay and Bisexual Men in a Treatment as Prevention Environment

British Columbia’s treatment as prevention policy has provided free access to highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) to all HIV-positive provincial residents since 1996. One outcome is an increase in HIV-positive gay and bisexual men (GBM) with suppressed viral loads. Previous cross-sectional analyses indicated that some Vancouver GBM now recognize condomless anal sex with men on HAART who report a suppressed viral load as a seroadaptive strategy. To test the hypothesis that this new strategy, termed viral load sorting (VLS), is recognized and used among by GBM in the Momentum Health Study, we analyzed longitudinal data for HIV-negative/unknown (n = 556) and HIV-positive (n = 218) serostatus participants. Analyses indicated that both groups reported VLS, and that serostatus and Treatment Optimism Scale scores were significant determinants in frequency and use. Results exemplify the medicalization of sex and Rogers’ Diffusion Of Preventative Innovations Model, and they have important implications for HIV research and GBM sexual decision-making.     

Exploring the Effects of Conditioning Factors on the Strain–Crime Association: A Test on Incarcerated Chinese Women

A key assumption of general strain theory (GST) is that various factors condition the effects of strains on crime. Past research examining this conditioning hypothesis tended to focus on youth samples and use gender as a control variable. Using survey data from Chinese female inmates, this study tests the strain–crime relationship posited in GST as well as the hypothesized effects of the conditioning factors. Regression results show that different types of strains have distinct effects on respondents’ odds to commit violent over property crimes. Conditioning factors are found to moderate the strengths of strains toward respondents’ likelihood to commit property crimes over violent crimes.     

National Culture on the Cross-National Variation of Homicide: An Empirical Application of the Inglehart–Welzel Cultural Map

Although there has been a growing literature on the effects of culture on the cross-national variation of homicide, this literature remains limited in the operationalization of national culture as well as in the modeling of the cultural effects. Adopting a multidimensional measure of national culture developed in the World Values Survey, this study examines the effects of various aspects of national culture, as well as their interaction, on the cross-national variation of homicide. The findings of this study provide evidence for the effect of national culture on homicide variation across countries while painting a more complex picture about the potential mechanisms of these effects.     

国家治理现代化视域下的少年司法社会支持体系:价值、立场及路径

少年司法社会支持体系是司法机关参与社会治理创新的重要途径。它面临着来自司法体系内部和外部社会环境的双重困境。国家治理现代化理念为其纾困和发展提供了更高站位的思路引领。少年司法社会支持体系通过理念的深度契合及价值的充分彰显,呈现出国家治理现代化的时代面向,也因而夯实了正当性基础、坚定了价值自信。未来发展中,应当立足国家治理现代化视角,将问题导向与目标导向相结合,在宏观立场上,调适好司法能动和司法克制的关系、司法机关与社会力量的关系、顶层规范设计与基层实践创新的关系;在微观路径上,多措并举增强社会服务的实效性、保障社会支持体系的高效率运行和可持续性发展,渐进性推进近景、中景、远景目标的达成。
