论刑事普通程序简易化审理

刑事普通程序简易化审理是当下中国司法改革中的有益探索。它不仅具有合法性根据,而且能够促进公正与效率之间最大限度的平衡。当然,该种程序还存在一些内在的操作性缺陷,但是通过相关配套与衔接制度的完善,可以予以有效的克服。     

论政府环境责任问责机制的健全——加强社会公众问责

政府环境责任是政府为满足社会公众的环境公共需求而承担的环境义务,其实现的保障就是健全政府环境责任问责机制,这其中加强社会公众的问责是非常重要的。社会公众问责具有立法机关、司法机关和行政机关所不具备的优势,其理论依据是“人民主权”。社会公众对政府是否履行环境责任进行问责的最佳方式是诉讼,从社会公众对政府是否履行环境责任进行问责的现实需要来看,强化和完善环境行政审判是其要旨所在。     

关于司法独立的含义

本文在分析司法的本性和特征以及司法独立原则发展的历史脉络的基础上,提出司法即审判,司法独立即审判独立;司法独立的基本含义在于法院、法官依法独立行使司法权或审判权,法院、法官对案件的裁决只服从法律,不受任何外来干涉.     

A simple two-stage design for quantitative responses with application to a study in diabetic neuropathic pain

Two-stage designs offer substantial advantages for early phase II studies. The interim analysis following the first stage allows the study to be stopped for futility, or more positively, it might lead to early progression to the trials needed for late phase II and phase III. If the study is to continue to its second stage, then there is an opportunity for a revision of the total sample size. Two-stage designs have been implemented widely in oncology studies in which there is a single treatment arm and patient responses are binary. In this paper the case of two-arm comparative studies in which responses are quantitative is considered. This setting is common in therapeutic areas other than oncology. It will be assumed that observations are normally distributed, but that there is some doubt concerning their standard deviation, motivating the need for sample size review. The work reported has been motivated by a study in diabetic neuropathic pain, and the development of the design for that trial is described in detail.     

国有控股上市公司股权激励机制研究

我国国有控股上市公司实施经营者股权激励机制有其理论基础与实践效用支持。文章通过对国有控股上市公司实施股权激励的本土环境考察,认为要实现经营者股权激励机制的预期效果,强化国有控股上市公司监督机制,制定科学的经营业绩考核指标和恰当的业绩考核标准,是股权激励机制实施的关键,同时应充分发挥中国特色社会主义优势,采取精神激励等多种辅助激励手段。     

刑事和解在审判阶段的制度构建

刑事和解系宽严相济刑事政策在诉讼中的具体体现,基于其特殊的价值,我国检察机关开始进行试点与探索,而对于具有普遍意义的刑事和解在审判阶段的应用并没有推开.自诉案件和刑附民案件程序的启动本身就决定于被害人,这类案件的和解并非普遍意义上的刑事和解.就刑事和解在审判阶段应用的价值、程序设置的主要问题进行评析,并在此基础上对程序设置的完善提出建议,以适用于审判实践.认为审判阶段进行刑事和解不仅提升了被害人的诉讼地位,同时,在一定程度上促使刑事审判的功能发生变化,与过去靠"打"来稳定社会治安的作用完全不一样,能使司法活动取得良好的社会效益,实现从有害正义到无害正义的进步,有利于社会和谐的构建.     

Unifying CRM and EWOC designs for phase I cancer clinical trials

The main goal of phase I cancer clinical trials is to determine the highest dose of a new therapy associated with an acceptable level of toxicity for the use in a subsequent phase II trial. The continual reassessment method (CRM) [O’Quigley, J., Pepe, M., Fisher, L., 1990. Continual reassessment method: a practical design for phase I clinical trials in cancer. Biometrics 46, 33–48] and escalation with overdose control (EWOC) [Babb, J., Rogatko, A., Zacks, S., 1998. Cancer phase I clinical trials: efficient dose escalation with overdose control. Statist. Med. 17 (10), 1103–1120] are two model-based designs used for phase I cancer clinical trials. A few modifications of the (original) CRM and EWOC have been made by many authors. In this paper, we show how CRM and EWOC can be unified and present a hybrid design. We study the characteristics of the approach of the hybrid design. The comparisons of the three designs (CRM, EWOC, and the hybrid design) are presented by convergence rates and overdose proportions. The simulation results show that the hybrid design generally has faster convergence rates than EWOC and smaller overdose proportions than CRM, especially when the true maximum tolerated dose (MTD) is above the mid-level of the dose range considered. The performance of these three designs is also evaluated in terms of sensitivity to outliers.     

Doubly adaptive biased coin designs with heterogeneous responses

Doubly adaptive biased coin design (DBCD) is an important family of response-adaptive randomization procedures for clinical trials. It uses sequentially updated estimation to skew the allocation probability to favor the treatment that has performed better thus far. An important assumption for the DBCD is the homogeneity assumption for the patient responses. However, this assumption may be violated in many sequential experiments. Here we prove the robustness of the DBCD against certain time trends in patient responses. Strong consistency and asymptotic normality of the design are obtained under some widely satisfied conditions. Also, we propose a general weighted likelihood method to reduce the bias caused by the heterogeneity in the inference after a trial. Some numerical studies are also presented to illustrate the finite sample properties of DBCD.     

宋代与中国古代取保候审制度的形成

取保候审古称责保知在,是刑事司法中普遍采用的限制人身自由的强制方法,是借助于保证人的信誉约束诉讼参加人,以配合司法活动的诉讼保障措施.在中国古代史籍中,取保候审于北齐初见使用,<唐律疏议>亦有条文记栽,两宋时期形成制度.与前代相比,宋代取保候审的规定更加具体,其适用条件的详备程度已达到当今立法水平,甚至有些规定今世未能企及.宋代取保候审制度的完善,可为宋代司法制度发达的又一力证.     

Improved randomized response in additive scrambling models

Randomized response models deal with stigmatizing variables appearing in health surveys. Additive and subtractive scrambling in split sample and double response yield unbiased mean and sensitivity estimators of high precision. The split sample method is protective of privacy. The double response method is as protective only conditionally. To achieve the maximum efficiency, the scrambling variables must be similar to each other and the probability of obtaining a true response must be as large as possible. The randomized response procedures yield more efficient estimates of the average total number of classes missed by university students.
