论绝对确定的死刑及其替代措施

1997年刑法典规定了绝对确定的法定刑———死刑,即刑法第239条绑架罪和刑法第121条劫持航空器罪。但是,结合刑法第49条对于未成年人和怀孕的妇女不适用死刑的规定,他们如果犯绝对的死罪,应该如何追究刑事责任,立法上缺乏一个制度上的规定,即死刑的替代和变易措施。因此,如果不废除绝对确定的法定刑,必须修改刑法第49条,予以完善。     

唱给自己的安魂曲——鲁迅小说《明天》的再诠释

《明天》是鲁迅小说中较为特殊的一篇 ,它是鲁迅为自己创作的一部小说 ,隐藏着更深的发泄、自慰和自我解脱的心理动机 ,形象地演绎了早期鲁迅解开死亡之结的精神历程 ,因此《明天》这部小说对研究鲁迅思想和艺术有重大的价值。     

大学生的临终关怀意识与死亡态度

我国的临终关怀事业正在起步阶段,民众的临终关怀意识有待提升。基于问卷调查,探讨大学生的临终关怀意识及其与死亡态度和生活满意度之间的关系,结果显示,大学生临终关怀意识水平不高,89.6%的大学生不知道临终关怀如何实施;68.3%的大学生处于不镇定的死亡态度;病情告知、继续治疗、临终关怀认知、临终关怀接纳、死亡态度和生活满意度之间存在复杂的相关关系。Logistic回归分析提示,性别、是否配合家人假装不知道自己的病情以及生活满意度对死亡态度得分有较为显著的预测性。引导大学生参与临终关怀志愿活动,广泛开展科普宣传活动,可有效提升大学生的临终关怀意识,这对我国临终关怀事业的健康发展具有重要意义。     

Divorce and parity progression following the death of a child: A register-based study from Finland

Most studies that have examined whether a child’s death influences parental relationship stability have used small-scale data sets and their results are inconclusive. A likely reason is that child loss affects not only the risk of parental separation, but also the risk of having another child. Hence parity progression and separation must be treated as two competing events in relation to child loss. The analysis in this paper used Finnish register data from 1971 to 2003, covering over 100,000 married couples whose durations of both first marriage and parenthood could be observed. We ran parity-specific Cox regressions in which process time started from the birth of each additional child. All marriages included women of childbearing age, none of whom had experienced any child death on entering the analysis. We find that child loss only modestly influences the divorce risk, whereas its effect on the risk of parity progression is considerable.     

对孟子“夭寿不贰”句之解读--以海德格尔《存在与时间》中的生存论思想为参照

孟子云“夭寿不贰,修身以俟之,所以立命也”,其中包含着“夭寿（生死）与命之间的关系”以及“修身立命”这两方面的问题。海德格尔《存在与时间》在时间的视域下,将此在解读为“向死而在”,与言说“生生之大德”的儒者形成一种互补关系。命定的偶然性（个体的人必然有具体的实质限定）、必死性（有限个体必有其死）和使命义（人禀受善性而有道德使命）这三者构成了《孟子》中的“命”义。孟子反求诸己,追求人的本然善性和生之尊严;海德格尔则认为面对死亡的决断,是个体成为本真存在的关键,而儒者的生活方式可视作本真存在的一种可能性。     

儒家的伦理豁免:为永恒奠基的制度

如何超越死亡,达致永恒?儒家力主、力行最大限度地敦睦伦理,以期圆满伦理,贯通和绵延伦理之河。为此要求有起码保证,使正式制度、非正式制度和伦理间关系融洽,良性互动。其要件之一是伦理豁免:当伦理、法律关系因交集而陷入两难,主体在履行伦理义务、法律义务间陷入两难之际,法律规定,主体有权利适度免除其部分法律义务,圆满履行其伦理义务;被免除的、对他人和国家社会的那部分法律义务则或由该主体推后履行,或由国家社会交由其他主体履行,由此在伦理、法律之间解决两难,达到两全。伦理是永恒的,伦理豁免从制度上保证伦理臻于圆满、贯通和绵延,就从社会结构、个人美德两方面为永恒奠基。     

Testing spatial randomness based on empirical distribution function: A study on lattice data

In this article, we extended the empirical distribution function based test statistic _Ik$I_k$ of Skaug and Tjostheim [1993. Nonparametric test of serial independence based on the empirical distribution function. Biometrika 80, 591–602] in the time series setting to _Dn$D_n$ for spatial lattice data and derived the asymptotic distribution of the proposed test statistic _Dn$D_n$ under the null hypothesis of spatial independence. The size and power of the proposed test statistic under conditional autoregressive model (CAR) were simulated. We applied _Dn$D_n$, Moran's I and Geary's c   to the transformed and well-studied sudden infant death syndrome data from North Carolina and found that _Dn$D_n$ produced a much smaller p$p$-value in testing spatial independence.     

论女性发展在社会发展中的作用——浅谈联合国千年发展目标中关于女性的发展

人们往往只是在传统价值观、风俗等社会学方面关注女性的发展,却忽视了女性发展也是社会发展和经济发展中的一个重要因素。女性的发展和教育水平影响了人口的出生率、儿童的教育水平和教育的效果并对资本的形成、劳动力资源的形成这两个经济发展中最重要的因素以及人类对抗疾病的效果等一系列社会发展因素产生重要影响。女性发展与各个国家经济发展差异的有显著的关联关系。对于中国不同地区的女性发展差异,尤其是男孩和女孩发展的明显差别不单纯地因为传统的价值观,更重要的是因为社会保障制度的不完善和不合理的改革。     

Cemetery locus as a mechanism of socio-cultural identity

In cultural studies of cemetery locus there is a very important aspect of understanding the cemetery as a tool for the formation of the socio-cultural identity of living people. I adhere to the point of view that the cemetery has always produced, and continues to produce, a variety of identities. While during the pre-Modern period the cemetery was a necessary element of individual self-understanding as a member of a certain community, in the Modern era the cemetery produces more particularistic identities. Modernity generates some universal and abstract schemes of identification, and by means of the repression of death from public consciousness, cemeteries lose their role as a focal point in social communication. I draw attention to the radical utopian ideas of the Russian philosopher Nikolai Fedorov, who not only considered the cemetery as a locus of memory, but also proclaimed the task of the transformation of cemeteries into a base for universal work on resurrection of dead ancestors and the restoration of brotherly relations in all mankind.     

孔孟的生死观浅论

生死问题是一个与每个人关系极为密切,而人们又不能不认真加以思考的问题。孔孟对这一人生问题进行了理性的思考和系统的总结,形成了具有丰富内涵的早期儒家生死观。在孔孟看来,生命是可贵的;死亡既具有必然性,同时又具有偶然性;死亡既是一件可悲的事情也是一件快乐的事情。他们十分重视死亡仪式。
