Potential for the Abuse of Medication for the Elderly in Residential and Nursing Homes in the UK

ABSTRACT

Abuse of the medication prescribed to the elderly living in long-stay care homes may be perpetrated by a minority of unscrupulous doctors, pharmacists, or home staff caring for the residents. Disorganised practices and homes, poor communications, and sloppy professional practices may create opportunities for over-dosing, errors, fraud, or theft. This article describes the circumstances leading to the potential abuse of elderly residents' medication, and the measures that may be taken to avoid or minimise such abuse from occurring.     

保险公司应对欺诈的诉讼研究

有效应对保险欺诈对保险公司具有重要价值,可以防止因欺诈识别错误而承受惜赔责难。通过对北京某人寿保险股份有限公司2005～2010年诉讼、和解的调研数据进行描述性统计和回归分析,结果发现:投保方索赔欺诈是个不争的事实,媒体关于保险公司败诉的报道夸大了保险公司惜赔程度,保险公司诉讼基本是理性行为。而且,城区投保方索赔欺诈,远甚于郊区县;与寿险相比,意外险、健康险更容易引发索赔欺诈;投保方比保险公司更愿意上诉。     

论信用证欺诈的司法保全措施--兼论"欺诈例外"理论的适用

跟单信用证是当今世界贸易结算中最为重要的一种支付工具,也是我国对外贸易结算的主要支付方式。我国入世后,信用证在我国国际贸易中的作用必将日益重要。但是近年来,我国企业与外商之间的信用证纠纷案件也呈逐年上升趋势,其中有相当比例的纠纷涉及到信用证欺诈问题。因此,从信用证欺诈入手,深入研究由此产生的信用证司法保全措施及“欺诈例外”理论的适用问题,是十分必要的。     

Deniable Degradation: The Finger-Imaging of Welfare Recipients

Using finger-imaging of welfare recipients as an example, the concept of deniable degradation is delineated as a counterpoint to Garfinkel's notion of degradation ceremonies. Deniable degradation involves the use of procedures that can be legitimated in instrumental terms, but that also evoke cultural symbols of humiliation and degradation. Responses of welfare recipients to finger-imaging, drawn from interviews and other qualitative sources, reveal a mixture of themes, ranging from approval of finger-imaging because it enables them to distance themselves from welfare fraud to outrage at a procedure that is viewed as criminalizing welfare receipt.     

上市公司财务报告舞弊的三元素理论探析

进入90年代以来,上市公司财务报告舞弊行为愈演愈烈,如何消除此类"公害"成为困扰世界经济界的难题。文章分析了上市公司财务报告舞弊行为的三种元素,为识别舞弊行为提供了清晰、可行的思路。     

论金融诈骗罪中的死刑

我国刑法对于金融诈骗犯罪的立法经历了不适用死刑、有选择地适用死刑和保留但严格限制死刑三个阶段。在我国死刑的存在目前还是具有一定合理性的,但应逐渐限制并在将来废除死刑,这是刑法学者的共识。在金融诈骗罪的死刑问题上有废除论和保留论两种观点。对金融诈骗罪适用死刑,既不利于刑罚的报应功能的实现,也不能预防、减少金融诈骗犯罪的发生,因此,我国刑法应当取消金融诈骗罪的死刑规定。     

论犯罪“数额”与金融诈骗罪的定罪量刑

我国的司法机关在解释金融诈骗罪的数额时,以行为人实际骗取的数额作为犯罪成立的标准,这与犯罪是对法益的侵害原理不符。根据法益侵害原则,金融诈骗罪中的数额应当理解受害人因被诈骗而损失的数额;金融诈骗罪未遂时的数额,则应当理解为犯罪行为指向的数额。刑法规定,部分金融诈骗罪数额特别巨大并且造成特别重大损失最高刑为死刑,这里的特别重大损失应当指犯罪数额以外的间接损失,而不是犯罪数额以内的未挽回的损失。     

Dialing for Dollars: Opportunities,Justifications, and Telemarketing Fraud

Opportunities for deviant economic exploitation grew significantly in the second half of the twentieth century. Drawing from interviews with forty-seven fraudulent telemarketers, this article describes the backgrounds and pursuits of one type of deviant actor that has stepped forward to exploit these opportunities. The men and women interviewed for this research were reared in middle-class, disproportionately managerial and entrepreneurial families. Their class and family backgrounds provided them with high, but ill-defined, expectations for material success. Their preparation for successful conventional careers was unremarkable. As a result, they were predisposed to economic activities that required few credentials but provided a high income. Once involved in and aware of the deviant nature of their endeavors, continuation in fraud was facilitated by the income it produced and the lifestyle it permitted, by self-definitions enhanced by their manipulative abilities, and by acquisition and use of a vocabulary of motive that deflected blame. An augmented version of sociological strain theory provides an analytic vantage point from which to examine the backgrounds, aspirations, and perspectives of those involved in fraudulent telemarketing.     

莲凤对比论

作为中国古代最重要的人情小说,《红楼梦》与《金瓶梅》之间有着千丝万缕的联系,《红楼梦》在各方面对《金瓶梅》都有所继承和发展,特别是体现在两书主要人物王熙凤和潘金莲身上,这种关系尤为明显。自私自利、极度残忍、聪明乖巧是两人性格中的相似之处,但也有雅俗之别。
