公民道德建设中的法律作用

公民道德建设是提高民族素质、形成良好社会风尚的基础,也是建设社会主义和谐社会的重要内容,必须长抓不懈.在公民道德建设中,我们应将公民道德建设与法制建设相结合,发挥法律普遍性、明确性、强制裁性的优势,在新形势下加大社会主义法制建设力度,促进、保障公民道德建设健康发展,从而将公民道德建设推向新的更高的水平.     

大学的法治与大学生权利保护

大学法治要求大学的管理者在处理大学各项事务中必须体现法治精神,依法决策、依法办事,把学校各项工作纳入法治化轨道.由于观念因素和制度因素的缺陷,大学生在受教育权、名誉权、隐私权、财产权、申诉权等方面还不同程度的受到一定侵犯.因此,作为管理者的大学还需要更新管理理念,强化法治意识,健全程序法治,推进民主建设,完善申诉机制,落实权利救济.     

渤海封氏——中国律学世家的绝响

河北景县古称"渤海蓧县",封氏世代以此为郡望,至南北朝时期,博通经史、尤精法律的封氏家族,成为北朝最负盛名的律学世家.封氏子弟在长期的仕宦生涯中,以他们的家传律学影响着北朝法制建设的走向,为中国儒法合流、礼法结合的法律体系定型奠定了基础.但作为两汉以来律学世家的传承者,至此也成为最后的绝响.     

网络银行若干法律问题研究

文章就网络银行的基本法律问题进行初步的探讨。作者认为,网络银行的本质是一种新型的金融机构,是指主要通过计算机Internet网络(或类似的电子方式)开展银行业务的银行。它与传统的实体银行的最大不同就在于前者主要是通过Internet网开展银行业务,具有一定的虚拟特征。网络银行的特点,使它在市场准入和风险管理方面具有与传统银行不同的要求。此外,论证了网络银行在对客户权益的保障中承担的义务,特别阐述了对客户隐私权的保护和对客户造成损失时的严格责任原则。     

从伊斯兰法到二元法——巴林法律体系的变迁轨迹

法律体系是衡量文明社会的重要标志。巴林作为中东民族国家建构体系中地缘、社会与文明实体的重要一环,尽管面积不大,人口较少,但其法律体系却在海湾地区具有历史悠久、体系完备以及内容丰富等特点。巴林法律体系历经四个时期：教法学家主导下的伊斯兰法时期、酋长管理下的部族法时期、英国控制下的混合法时期以及世俗和伊斯兰共生下的二元法时期。巴林法律体系的现代化呈现出多元化的理论形态与文化取向。

A note on mixingale limit theorems and stable convergence in law

A gap in the proof of a non stationary mixingale invariance principle is identified and fixed by introducing a skipped subsampling of a partial sum process and letting the skipped interval vanish asymptotically at an appropriate rate as the sample size increases. The corrected proof produces a mixingale limit theorem in the form of a mixing convergence in law, occurring jointly with the stable convergence in law for the same σ-field relative to which they are stable and mixing. The applicability of established results to a high-frequency estimation of the quadratic variation of financial price process is discussed.     

The U.S. Economic Polity,Social Identity,and International Human Rights

In this essay, I provide some complementary perspectives on certain themes that emerge in Judith Blau's (2016) timely and insightful article, “Human Rights: What the United States Might Learn from the Rest of the World and, Yes, from American Sociology.” In response, I offer some very brief reflections structured through two prisms by which we might think further about the United States and human rights. These perspectives pick up on the core issue of Blau's article, the U.S. rejection of socioeconomic rights, and how this issue in turn relates first to the “social identity” of the United States as a whole, and second to the role of the political economy in states' recognition of human rights.     

The “what” and “who” of co-optation: gendered racialized migrations,settler nation-states and postcolonial difference

In this article, I focus on the management of postcolonial difference and the production of belonging in a white settler nation-state in order to rethink the notion of co-optation. I first develop a theoretical framework for understanding co-optation by separating the “who” and the “what” of co-optation: actors who embody diversity in public, political debate become the “who” of co-optation, as their agency is shaped by gendered and racialized processes of subject making. The “what” of co-optation revolves around particular conceptualizations of practices, rights and freedoms, associated in this case with “gender equality,” which is rendered an empty signifier in the process. I then illustrate this framework by drawing from research on the Sharia-based arbitration debate that took place in Ontario, Canada, between late 2003 and early 2006. I focus on the claims of two Canadian Muslim women activists to show that co-optation occurs as attempts to further liberation instead advance illiberal practices.     

All Data are Wrong,but Some are Useful? Advocating the Need for Data Auditing

In a recent article from the Annals of Applied Statistics, Cox discussed the main phases of applied statistical research ranging from clarifying study objectives to final data analysis and interpreting results. As an incidental remark to these main phases, we advocate that beyond cleaning and preprocessing the data, it is a good practice to audit the data to determine if they can be trusted at all. A case study based on Ghanaian Official Fishery Statistics is used to illustrate this need, with Benford's law being the tool used to carrying out the data audit.
