环境污染责任的构成要件研究——基于《侵权责任法》第八章的分析

环境污染责任属无过错责任,原则上以环境污染行为、损害事实、行为与损害之间的因果关系这三项为构成要件。环境污染责任作为一种危险责任,不要求污染行为具有违法性。环境污染责任的保护范围主要限于物质性人格权和物权．不包括环境权。环境污染的损害类型包括人身损害、财产损害、精神损害。在因果关系方面,我国相关法律确立的举证责任倒置模式与比较法上一些采用因果关系推定的新理论存在差异。     

1979-2009年中国地下经济规模测算及影响分析

应用MIMIC模型,利用1979-2009年的统计资料,将地下经济视为一个潜变量,以税收负担、犯罪率、失业率、政府管制、通货膨胀和居民收入作为地下经济的原因变量,以货币流通量及自我就业率作为地下经济的指标变量.研究显示:中国地下经济规模增长幅度较大,1979年中国地下经济规模比例仅为0.78％,2009年则高达19.93％;地下经济规模与官方经济增长率互为因果关系,地下经济对官方经济具有一定的积极作用;地下经济规模与居民收入差距为单向因果关系,即地下经济规模的扩大加剧了现阶段中国居民收入的不平等.     

How Psychological Telehealth Can Alleviate Society's Mental Health Burden: A Literature Review

Mental health professionals must establish new means to reach those in need that face obstacles related to geographical location, time limitations, and health. With the high incidence of mental illness, as well as the hypothesized increase in coming years, telehealth modalities propose a novel and far-reaching alternative to traditional therapy. This article outlines the positive aspects and interdisciplinary possibilities when telehealth is incorporated into mental health practice. Novel outlets including mHealth and the utilization of computer tablets as mental health facilitators are outlined. Considerations for practice including training are discussed, as well as potential future directions for the field. Available data supports telehealth as an effective mode for the treatment of clients who are unable to pursue mental health services in their current form. However, careful consideration and training for the mental health professional is needed if telehealth is to be effectively used to alleviate the mental health burden.     

The Role of Appraisal and Expressive Support in Mediating Strain and Gain in Hispanic Alzheimer's Disease Caregivers

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine how appraisal of burden and satisfaction, and perception of expressive support mediate the effects of caregiving on depression, somatic complaints, life satisfaction and personal gain with a sample of Hispanic Alzheimer's disease (AD) primary caregivers. A purposive-snowball sampling technique was used to identify 103 Hispanic caregivers, who completed a self-report questionnaire. A translation-back-translation process was used to translate the instruments into Spanish. Translated instruments were then pilot tested prior to being administered to the participants. Appraisal of burden was found to mediate the effects of caregiving on depression and somatic complaints and had significant direct effects on life satisfaction. Appraisal of satisfaction did not have a mediating effect on any of the measures, but did have a direct effect on depression and personal gain. Expressive support did have a mediating effect on depression, as well as direct effects on somatic complaints and life satisfaction. These findings suggest a need for improving outreach to older minorities and developing culturally sensitive interventions that can improve caregivers' understanding of problematic behavior, thereby altering appraisal of the situation, as well as developing extended systems of support.     

上海服务业“结构奖赏”与“结构惩罚”效应分析

2012年,上海第三产业增加值占GDP比重首超60％,达到服务经济的国际标准。借助shift—share方法对2003-2012年上海第三产业劳动生产率变动进行分解得出：“结构奖赏”和“结构负担”假说并存,且前者效应已高于后者,表明结构转换有助于提升劳动生产率,但力度有限;各行业内部劳动生产率的提升才是上海第三产业劳动生产率提升的主体。上海调整第三产业结构的前提是各行业能按自身发展规律协调发展,即须在发展中实现结构转换,而非片面追求结构调整。     

The Impact of Family Functioning on Caregiver Burden among Caregivers of Veterans with Congestive Heart Failure

A cross-sectional study of 76 family caregivers of older veterans with congestive heart failure utilized the McMaster model of family functioning to examine the impact of family functioning variables (problem solving, communication, roles, affective responsiveness, and affective involvement) on caregiver burden dimensions (relationship burden, objective burden, stress burden, and uplifts). Regression analyses indicated that the five dimensions of family functioning were significantly related (p < 0.01) to relationship burden (R ² = .27) and uplifts (R ² = .29). More specifically, increased relationship burden was associated with problems in family roles, and increased uplifts was related to higher levels of affective responsiveness.

Scale shift in international tax justice: comparing the UK and Australia from 2008 to 2016

ABSTRACT

International tax justice issues, such as corporate tax avoidance, have gained particular salience over the past decade in an environment of financial instability and government austerity. Civil society involvement has ranged from trade unions and NGOs calling for parliamentary inquiries to civil disobedience by less established actors. Since the international financial crisis, how have levels of contentious collective action around these issues waxed and waned? Is contentiousness associated most with domestic politics or global media events like the Panama Papers? This paper uses an original hand-coded dataset from five national newspapers in the United Kingdom and Australia between 2008 and 2016. Political claims analysis (PCA) was used to collect all instances of claims around international tax justice and compare the types of actions and the different frames used by civil society actors. In both countries, mobilising grievances are generated most strongly in the period after domestic austerity policies are introduced. The qualitative coding provides evidence of accompanying frame alignment in these periods, as international taxation is problematized in terms of national revenue, demonstrating scale shift from the global to the national political stage.     

检察机关在违法所得特别没收程序中的举证责任

违法所得特别没收程序中检察机关的举证责任规则,如证明标准、证明对象以及举证责任的分配原则等在立法上付诸阙如,为司法实践操作带来一定困难.违法所得特别没收程序是一种刑事特别程序,综合考量证明标准在调整“打击犯罪”与“保障人权”两大诉讼目的中的重要杠杆作用,证明标准应限定在“排除一切合理怀疑”与“优势证据”之间,证明对象应当包括“犯罪事实”“追缴的违法所得及其他涉案财产”以及两者之间存在实质联系,举证责任分配可以考虑采取检察机关举证的一般原则和利害关系人举证的例外情况相结合.
