Rights discourses in relation to education of people with intellectual disability: towards an ethics of care that enables participation

In this paper we argue that human rights approaches for intellectually disabled people have failed to recognise the complexity of rights claims made by and on behalf of this group. Drawing on a research project into discourses of education for intellectually disabled people in the Eastern Cape, South Africa we discern three rights discourses; namely, rights to full participation, rights to special services and rights to protection. These draw off a social model, a medical model and a protective model, respectively. We note that these discourses may be set up in contestation with each other. However, we argue that they can be seen as complementary if viewed within an ethics of care that enables participation. Within this conceptualisation, participation is viewed within relations of care but is subject to a critique that examines the role of context and disciplinary power in constructing dependency.     

Western Liberal Democracy: The Struggle of Muslims for Freedom,Equality and Dignity

The increasingly multicultural fabric of Western liberal democracies has given rise to the issue of the presence of Muslim minorities in the West, as rising hatred and hostility toward Islam and Muslims in the West undermine the three guiding principles of freedom, equality and dignity that underpin the foundation of liberal democracy, human rights and multiculturalism. Today, Muslims in the West struggle for freedom, equality and dignity to ensure their ethnocultural survival and full and equal participation within the mainstream society. Therefore, it would be quite correct to say that the endurance of liberal democracy, human rights and multiculturalism built on the Western civilization depends on the eradication of Western Islamophobia.     

生产还是消费——中国股市生产资本资产定价模型实证检验

生产资本资产定价模型从企业利润最大化角度出发,推出资产的均衡价格.相较于消费资本资产定价模型,生产资本资产定价模型能更好的满足信息完全和决策者理性的假设条件.本文从生产资本资产定价模型出发,利用现值模型将生产的系统性风险因子,即生产的贝塔因子分解为现金流贝塔和折现率贝塔,并采用社会总投资和股市数据进行实证检验.本文发现生产-现金流贝塔是中国股市的重要定价因子,可较好地解释股权溢价的截面差异.相比之下,消费资本资产定价模型对不同资产之间风险溢价的解释能力较弱.     

牧地承包经营权转让意愿影响因素研究——基于农户劳动力配置视角

基于西部3省731户农(牧)户的实地调研数据,从农(牧)户劳动力配置视角分析了牧地承包经营权转让意愿的影响因素。研究结果表明:务牧人口数、近三年务牧消耗、务牧技能水平等对牧地承包经营权转出意愿有显著的负向影响;务工兼牧业人口数、务工技能水平和户均单位土地劳动投入对牧地承包经营权转出意愿有显著的正向影响;务工人口数、户主受教育程度等对牧地承包经营权转让意愿的影响不显著。     

以基督精神重新解读米开朗基罗《创世纪》中上帝形象

五百年来中外学界一直用人文主义观点,把米开朗基罗在《创世纪》中的上帝形象解读成人间英雄,将其画旨归结为歌颂人的创造和伟大。其实,米氏《创世纪》中的上帝形象是对摩西的“烈火”、以赛亚的“长衫君王”和但以理的“银发圣父”等上帝原型的承续和再创,其画旨是表达人的悲郁无助和对神的伟大救恩的颂赞和呼求。     

政府问责视野中的国家精品课程复核研究

运用新公共服务理论和行政优益权理论分析,国家精品课程建设实质上是教育部为向公众提供优质的高等教育服务、确保优质资源的开放共享,而与申请国家精品课程的高校签订的行政契约,政府作为公共利益的集中代表,有权对国家精品课程建设给予监督并实施复核。     

制度公正的核心：实现权利的合理布局

公民权利占主导和支配地位,权力基于社会共同体对权利公正的追求而生。为避免自然的公正分配状态下权利秩序被破坏,国家权力主体在社会范围建立统一的、强制性规范,对自发秩序下的”权利分配的定分规律”以规则的形式总结出来,人为地划分出每一社会成员的权利范围。国家权力的产生是公正理念从美德领域转向政治的价值领域、人类社会由野蛮步入文明状态的标志。制度公正的本质是对个人所拥有的基本权利与应承担义务的合理配置。     

土地流转视角的农村人力资本流动及其对策建议

农村人力资本的合理流动是土地流转的前提。土地流转能够有效提高土地资源配置效率．进一步激活农村富余劳动力的转移。观念障碍、信息障碍、成本障碍、技能障碍、制度障碍、职位障碍、收益障碍和公平障碍等八大障碍,较严重地制约了农村人力资本的流动,阻碍了土地流转的进一步实施。必须消除这些障碍,进一步促进人力资本有序流动。     

邮传部与清末电政利权回收

清末是我国经济发展的小黄金期,这其中,邮传部领导的、包括电政业在内的交通利权回收是不可忽视的因素.邮传部对清末电政的利权回收之推动集中体现在中俄、中日交涉及中国与德国、英国、意大利、法国等国的交涉,除此之外还进行了进口替代生产,这极有利于该领域的近代化.以往学界仅仅关注民间的利权回收运动,而对政府部门多所忽视,此乃革命史范式在作祟.     

R×C ecological inference: bounds, correlations, flexibility and transparency of assumptions

Summary.  Despite its potential pitfalls, ecological inference is an unavoidable part of some quantitative settings, including US voting rights litigation. In such applications, the analyst will typically encounter two-way tables with more than two rows and columns. Although several ecological inference methods are currently available for 2×2 tables, there are fewer options for analysing general R × C tables, and virtually none that model counts as opposed to fractions. We propose a count R × C method that respects the bounds deterministically, that allows for complex relationships between internal cell quantities, that is easily extensible and that results from transparent assumptions. We study the method via simulation, and then apply it to an example that is drawn from the state of Texas relevant to recent redistricting litigation there.
