两岸三地刑事判决书语言情感度比较

导入语、判决语、引用语三方面所用语言情感色彩在两岸三地刑事案判决书中是不同的.刑事判决书语言的情感序列为：香港＞澳门＞台湾＞内地.导致这种结果的原因大致有三个方面：传统文化与法系影响;对法权实现途径的语言认识;语言在法律适用过程中体现的人文关怀.内地刑事判决书应当汲取港澳台三地刑事判决书的长处,为建立和谐社会作出贡献.

香港楚辞学著作举隅

五十多年来,香港投身楚辞研究的学者数量甚多。可是,由于时局变化、讯息阻隔、资料散乱,导致其研究成果不显于世。香港代表性的楚辞学著作有:黄华表的《离骚四释》、饶宗颐的《楚辞书录》、林莲仙的《楚辞音韵》、梁简能的《楚辞九歌注笺》、蓝海文的《今本楚辞》等。

Globalization, de-industrialization and Hong Kong's private rental sector

A number of scholars have identified a changing role for private rental housing, as it becomes a more mainstream tenure to house the insecure rich and poor alike in globalizing cities. Hong Kong is an important global city and is experiencing rising rates of social polarization associated with globalization generally, its articulation with the Chinese economy specifically and the impact of the Asian Financial Crisis in 1997. Our empirical research suggests that Hong Kong's private rental sector has responded to and articulates with the city's specific globalization trajectory. It increasingly houses the highly paid, highly skilled but relatively insecure elite and the low paid, low skilled and very insecure underclass, for whom prospects of public housing or home ownership are diminishing. Private renters are younger, more mobile and house both top-end and bottom-end ethnic minorities. The traditional role of private renting and large scale obsolete inner-city housing stock, combined with the aggressive development of up-market and highly desirable private housing estates makes the sector particularly adept at meeting the needs of Hong Kong's hour glass shaped global society. We anticipate that the size of the private rental sector will increase, albeit from a low base and that its hour-glass shape will become more pronounced.     

我国诸法域法定继承制度之比较

大陆与港澳台的法律分属不同的法系或法律文化,它们虽有很多共同之处,但彼此也有不少差异。从法定继承的地位及适用、法定继承人的范围、法定继承顺序以及法定继承份额等方面,对四法域的法定继承制度作全面比较分析,对了解四法域继承法律制度的异同具有一定参考价值。     

《孔丛子》考证

<孔丛子>一书最初以<盘盂>作为书名,东汉以后始名<孔丛>,宋人改作<孔丛子>,当以<孔丛>为是.其书作者,旧题汉孔鲋撰,宋以后多疑后人依托,今人径称伪托.窃以为前六卷当出自孔鲋之手,第七卷为东汉时孔氏后裔补缀.其书在形成过程中被一再修润,故其文风类似东汉人.笔者发现书中所记多处不合常情常理,子思与孟子的对话更出于杜撰.对于全书内容的可信度有待通过深入辨析予以确定.     

Live-in Foreign Domestic Workers and their Impact on Hong Kong’s Middle Class Families

This paper discusses the impact of foreign domestic workers (FDWs) on parental roles and family dynamics of Hong Kong’s middle class families. The increase in married women’s labor force participation in Hong Kong has led to a greater demand for childcare, which has been filled by FDWs. Based on interviews with 15 dual-earner couples in middle class nuclear families employing FDWs, how FDWs affect the mother’s gender role and family dynamics is discussed. Boundary work is used by parents in their daily interaction with their children and their FDWs so as to reconcile the perceived indispensability of these workers on the one hand, and the challenges they pose to the definition of parenthood on the other. This research was funded by a Lingnan University Social Sciences Program Research Grant RES/SOC010/978. I am grateful to the guest editors and two anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments.     

Development of a Dose‐Response Model for SARS Coronavirus

In order to develop a dose‐response model for SARS coronavirus (SARS‐CoV), the pooled data sets for infection of transgenic mice susceptible to SARS‐CoV and infection of mice with murine hepatitis virus strain 1, which may be a clinically relevant model of SARS, were fit to beta‐Poisson and exponential models with the maximum likelihood method. The exponential model (k= 4.1 × l0²) could describe the dose‐response relationship of the pooled data sets. The beta‐Poisson model did not provide a statistically significant improvement in fit. With the exponential model, the infectivity of SARS‐CoV was calculated and compared with those of other coronaviruses. The does of SARS‐CoV corresponding to 10% and 50% responses (illness) were estimated at 43 and 280 PFU, respectively. Its estimated infectivity was comparable to that of HCoV‐229E, known as an agent of human common cold, and also similar to those of some animal coronaviruses belonging to the same genetic group. Moreover, the exponential model was applied to the analysis of the epidemiological data of SARS outbreak that occurred at an apartment complex in Hong Kong in 2003. The estimated dose of SARS‐CoV for apartment residents during the outbreak, which was back‐calculated from the reported number of cases, ranged from 16 to 160 PFU/person, depending on the floor. The exponential model developed here is the sole dose‐response model for SARS‐CoV at the present and would enable us to understand the possibility for reemergence of SARS.
