Confession Governance and Verdicts in China’s Criminal Justice

The objective phenomenon of reliance on confessions is the source of many problems in the practice of criminal justice in China. Although successive amendments to the law have endeavored to improve the handling of confessions, they have been unable to resolve the dilemma of a rigid management mode, incompatible management strategies, and conflicting attitudes towards management. This paper has made a multi-dimensional reinterpretation of it from the judges’ perspective, including functional analysis, cultural interpretation and immediate considerations. It reveals that behind its functions of offering moral comfort or allowing evasion of responsibility, confession, as a medium of physical and intellectual management, has the more important function of supplementing and improving the legitimacy of criminal verdicts. The remolding of the legitimacy of criminal verdicts with the coordinated improvement of the management of confessions will change the mode of association between those who currently govern confession and those they govern and will clash with the current closed mode of criminal justice management, thereby promoting a transformation in the governance of criminal justice.     

Uniformly strong consistency and Berry-Esseen bound of frequency polygons for α-mixing samples

In this article, the frequency polygon investigated by Scott is studied as a nonparametric estimator for α-mixing samples. By some known exponent and moment inequalities, we obtain the uniformly strong consistency and Berry-Esseen bound of the estimator. The present results relax the relevant conditions used by Carbon et al. Furthermore, the convergence rate of the uniformly asymptotic normality is derived, which is O(n^{? 1/11}) under the given conditions.     

长三角产业集聚对区域经济一体化的影响研究 ——基于SDM模型

以长三角2003—2018年为样本观测期,运用相关产业集聚指数分别计算产业集聚水平、综合评价法测度长三角区域经济一体化指数;利用社会经济距离矩阵运用空间面板模型,得出产业集聚对区域经济一体化的影响.实证结果表明:①从空间总体效应看:本地区产业协同集聚、生产性服务业集聚、制造业集聚对本地的区域经济一体化水平有正向影响,其中生产性服务业集聚对本地区区域经济一体化的影响最大,生产性服务业协同集聚对本地的区域经济一体化有负向影响.就相邻地区间产业集聚对区域经济一体化的影响而言,产业协同集聚、制造业集聚有负向影响,生产性服务业协同集聚有正向影响.②从空间效应分解看:各产业集聚对区域经济一体化的效应绝对值各有差异.产业协同集聚的间接效应(负向效应)大于直接效应(正向效应)与总效应(负向效应);生产性服务业协同集聚的间接效应(正向效应)大于直接效应(负向效应)与总效应(正向效应);制造业集聚的总效应(负向效应)小于间接效应(负向效应).     

Female labour force participation and second birth rates in South Korea

In recent decades, while female labour force participation rates in South Korea have increased, the country’s total fertility rates have declined dramatically. This study explores the association between women’s labour force participation and second birth rates in South Korea over the period 1980–2006. An event-history analysis is applied to longitudinal data from waves 1–10 of the Korea Labour and Income Panel Study. The study shows that post-birth labour force participation significantly reduced women’s propensity for having a second child, whereas non-employment after first birth was associated with an increased propensity. Women with highly educated husbands had a higher likelihood of enlarging the family. Further, the second birth trend in Korea fluctuated in tandem with the country’s institutional and socio-economic development. The childbearing propensity of homemakers was especially sensitive to the business cycle.     

学术不端检测系统的理性使用

随着学术论文的海量增加、学术道德失范现象的加剧及科学技术发展水平的不断提高,学术不端检测系统应运而生,成为初审的把关者,还是终审后上稿前的最后一道防线,是学术审稿的"第三只眼睛"。但它只能对"复制粘贴"这种简单抄袭的行为进行有效控制,要甄别更隐蔽的、没有创造性意义的抄袭还需要提升编辑的业务素质,另外,它存在对表格、公式等无法查询,检测不同格式的文章结果有差异等缺陷。因此,建议编辑人员不要简单以检测数据来判定稿件抄袭与否,不要完全依赖学术不端检测系统,需要在不同时段对文章进行多次查询,通过理性使用,使该系统成为防止和打击学术不端的一个辅助手段。     

孔子道德性认知结构及其审美意义

孔子不以"生知"许人,而屡言"学"知。《论语》所述"学"知由两个方面构成:(多)闻和(多)见。两者既是认知过程中的重要环节,也是塑造君子人格的重要方式,体现了孔子道德性认知的特点。个体接受道德原则以"多闻"为基础,个体之间的道德评判以"多见"为基础。孔子视野下的"知"并不脱离生活实践,见与闻构成了全部感性生活的内容。两者在生活实践中具有重要的道德意义。孔子认为两者在生活实践中可以达到完善,从而居于道德内涵丰富完美的理想境地。从中可以看到道德性认知与审美理想之间具有内在联系。     

我国大学发展方式转变的特点、主体角色及其相互关系

大学的发展除了自身进化的"内在逻辑",还与社会和时代的发展变化密切相关。大学的发展方式从来不是一成不变的。顺时而动,与时俱进,乃大学前进发展的一条基本规律。随着所依托的社会环境和承担职能发生的深刻变化,我国高等教育的发展理念、发展内容和发展标准必须进行转型。在此基础上,本文剖析了我国高等教育发展方式转型的特点,以及高等教育转型中政府、高校和社会各自担当的角色,提出正确处理高等教育发展方式转型中角色主体之间的关系,积极引导和推进学校、社会、政府三元组合向互动共赢的方向良性发展。     

小微民营企业政治参与研究——以我国中部地区为例

改革开放以来,小微民营企业对我国经济发展做出了重要贡献。不仅如此,它们在技术创新、吸纳就业乃至社会稳定等领域的贡献也是有目共睹。然而,在我国的政治舞台上,却始终看不到小微民营企业的身影。它们一方面希望能够维持企业的生存,另一方面却不得不面对诸多的政策障碍。在遇到上述问题时,由于缺乏参政议政和投诉的渠道,多数小微民营企业只能选择沉默或忍气吞声。而且,长期以来与决策者沟通的缺乏导致它们对政治参与缺乏热情,对决策过程缺乏了解,对政府扶持心存疑虑。针对这些问题,要求政府在行政方面做出改进的同时,小微民营企业也应该改进自己的行为。     

大学章程在大学法人化治理中的价值向度与法律限度

大学章程通过对举办者、办学者及其他利益相关者的意志与权利进行确认,并对各相关权利主体进行制度性的规约,起到了理性化的价值引导与依法治理的保障作用.在创建中国特色的现代大学制度过程中,大学章程能不能被视作一种法律,在多大范围内多大程度上发挥作用,需要理性地审视.研究以中外比较、历史比较、现实发展的视角探讨了我国大学章程的法律效力及其限度.大学章程需要基于“自主管理”的诉求,以“共治”的方式实现现代大学制度的“法治”化,以期实现大学的本质价值追求.
