Thinking about biology and culture: can the natural and human sciences be integrated?

Genomic analyses have shown that only 1.2 per cent of the genome is devoted to protein coding sequences (the most commonly invoked definition of genes), and that much of the remaining sequences are employed in regulation – that is, in responding to signals, first, from the immediate environment of the DNA, but ultimately from the distal environment – from the cytoplasm, from the environment outside the cell, and finally, from the environment beyond the organism. Such signals are not restricted to the simple physical and chemical stimuli that impinge directly on the DNA, on the surface of the cell, or even on the body as a whole: organisms with central nervous systems have receptors for forms of perception that are not only more complex but far longer range. Humans have especially sophisticated perceptual capacities, enabling them to respond to a wide range of complex visual, auditory, linguistic and behavioural/emotional signals in their extended environment. Research has recently begun to show that responses to such signals can extend all the way down to the level of gene expression. The question is this: to what extent are we witnessing (at last) a rapprochement between the natural science of biology and the human sciences of sociology and anthropology, and to what extent do the new promises of synthesis merely reflect an expansion of older reductionist aims, threatening once again to marginalize rather than incorporate the insights of cultural analysis? As in my earlier discussion of the nature/nurture debate (2010), my focus will be restricted to the Anglo-American context.     

Explaining how unexploded ordnance clearance enhances livelihoods in the Lao PDR

BackgroundFollowing violent conflict, the continued presence of landmines and unexploded ordnance pose a barrier to rebuilding livelihoods. Mine action removes these explosive remnants of conflict to enable communities to safely return contaminated land to productive use. There is limited understanding, however, of how, why, in what context and in what respects mine action contributes to livelihoods. Yet, such information is required for effective resource allocation, checking underlying program assumptions, understanding benefits and potential harms.MethodsThe evaluation was undertaken in the Lao People's Democratic Republic. It used an interpretive case study design and applied the principles of realist evaluation. Program staff and local government authorities were interviewed (N = 37) and program beneficiaries. In total, 38 individual interviews with program beneficiaries were conducted and eighteen focus group interviews (9 with males, 9 with females), each with 6–9 participants.ResultsThe evaluation identified two main mechanisms through which the program ‘worked’: (1) communication pre- and post-clearance and (2) the delivery of the product (cleared land).ConclusionThe realist approach helped to refine the program theory, highlighted the role of self- and task-efficacy and community communication, assisted in identifying contextual factors that influence outcomes and suggested a revision of expected outcomes.     

And I Still Love Them: On Touching Loss

In this article, the author performs a re‐membering practice that incorporates a relational materialist theory. It traces the disturbances that follow in the wake of three deaths in her family. Written in an autoethnographic voice, the article is a polyphonic composition of the narrative therapy approach of re‐membering entangled with the spacetimematter of silence, speaking, sitting, staying, presence, absence, loss of momentum, dreams, trees, books, cardiac pace‐makers, writing, breath, ashes, murmuring, suffering. Thus, the dispersed agencies of bodies, human and non‐human, reinvigorate a linguistic practice and the author's personal and professional life.     

From a ‘sort of Muslim’ to ‘proud to be Alevi’: the Alevi religion and identity project combatting the negative identity among second-generation Alevis in the UK

ABSTRACT

This article explains how the negative identity of second-generation Alevi-Kurds in the UK has been transmitted intergenerationally, linked to their history of persecuted exclusion in Turkey and to the transnational settlement of Alevi migrants in the UK, and how this sense of marginalization and invisibility in the receiving country can be addressed. Education is identified as a starting point for the underachievement and disaffection of Alevi pupils, which can lead them into more serious trouble and descent into the rainbow underclass. In the quest to tackle this identity issue, a unique collaborative action research project was set up between an Alevi community centre, local schools and a university to develop the world’s first Alevi lessons as part of the compulsory Religious Education curriculum in British schools. The Alevi Religion and Identity Project is described and evaluated in terms of its outcomes, especially its contribution towards a more positive Alevi identity as a reflection of a vibrant community.     

民事诉讼行政介入的程序规制研究

规制行政介入司法尤其是民事司法,除了深化司法体制改革的体制规制路径,将行政机关意见表达纳入民事诉讼程序是其另一程序规制路径.程序规制具有公正审判权请求权、论辩式民事诉讼对话逻辑、诉权制约行政权、民事审判实质公开的“武器支撑”.“法庭之友”制度对民事诉讼行政介入具有程序规制作用,中国行政机关可以“法庭之友”身份参与民事诉讼、进行意见表达.行政机关担当“法庭之友”不会损害独立审判,相反有利于司法公正公开.行政机关担当“法庭之友”以维护公共利益为限,是新型诉讼参与人,应明确其诉讼权利义务,构建行政机关作为“法庭之友”参诉的具体程序.     

基于模糊理论评估连续梁桥地震破坏状况

为了研究不同强度等级地震作用下连续梁桥的破坏模式及破坏程度,采用多级模糊综合评判方法建立连续梁桥的综合评估模型。根据连续梁桥的特点,利用连续梁桥各单元及各构件的破坏程度建立多个因素集,根据各因素的权重和评价标准,对多个因素集进行逐级评判,根据最大隶属度原则得到地震作用下连续梁桥的破坏情况,并通过等级参数评判法对不同地震强度下连续梁桥的破坏情况进行等级评判,得到连续梁桥破坏情况与地震强度之间的关系。最后,基于多级模糊综合评判方法对一座连续梁桥实例进行评判     

政府性基金征收的正当程序研究 ——基于民航发展基金的个案分析

政府性基金的设立,为解决改革开放初期基础设施投上发挥了政策性作用。然而,随着时代的变迁与市场经济模式的完善,作为时代产物的政府性基金,其合法性、合理性与透明度均存在着质疑。选择以民航发展基金为个案,对民航发展基金的由来与发展、征收的使用和制度规范以及设立程序进行阐述与分析不难发现,民航发展基金在前置程序、立法程序、征收标准法律依据、实施程序等方面存在着正当法律程序的偏差,致使其合法性受到质疑。因此,政府性基金的设立,应该在前置程序、程序立法、实施程序、纠纷解决正当程序诸方面做出制度性安排。     

公共物品的提供与中国地方政府层级设置

现代国家的政治本质和公共物品的非排斥性和非竞争性,决定了公共物品的提供是政府的一项重要职能.而效率与公平是政府在提供公共物品时所应追求的最主要价值,公共物品的公共性和规模经济的程度,决定了公共物品在提供上的效率和公平价值的实现与政府的层级和规模的相关性.由此,公共物品理论在推进政府层级设置的过程中也就具有了重要的借鉴意义.     

醉酒人犯罪刑事责任的立法比较与法理分析

醉酒所致精神障碍,是一个遍及世界各国的重要社会问题之一,而且有越来越严重的趋势.关于醉酒状态下犯罪的刑事责任问题,有的国家刑法没有对之做出专门规定,而是将其作为自愿(故意或过失)陷入无责任能力状态的情形之一,规定不免除或减轻行为人的刑事责任,但有些国家对此作了专门规定.
