网络游戏“私服”、“外挂”行为的民事法律责任研究

“私服”、“外挂”行为严重威胁和冲击着网络游戏产业的健康发展。界定了“私服”、“外挂’’行为，指出了“私服”、“外挂”行为的危害性．并在此基础上进一步研究了“私服”、“外挂”行为构成要件内容的特殊性、承担民事责任的方式和损害赔偿数额的确定，最后提出了“私服”、“外挂”的立法建议。这有利于网络游戏产业的健康发展，净化网络文化环境，打击“私服”、“外挂”行为。     

非婚同居性行为损害赔偿问题研究

对非婚同居性行为引发的损害赔偿问题，从女性当事人角度可以区分为两种类型，一种是男方以恋爱结婚为由欺骗女方同居的，即女方受蒙蔽同居的；另一种是女方知晓对方感情、身体状况和同居目的而自愿同居的，即双方完全自愿同居的。对前者，男方应对女方损害赔偿结果承担侵权责任；对后者，男方应分担相应的性行为损害后果。     

Measuring the Influence of Unemployment Insurance on Unemployment Experiences

This article investigates the comprehensive effects of unemployment insurance (UI) policies on the amount of time and unemployment that individuals report between jobs. The econometric model jointly determines the effects of UI on the lengths of nonemployment spells, the classification of these spells as unemployment, and the likelihood of collecting program benefits. The model carefully attempts to isolate variation in UI benefits attributable to differences in generosity across programs to avoid biases in estimating policy effects induced by other contaminating sources of benefit variation. Using data on men from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth, the empirical results find (a) UI recipients typically experience longer spells between jobs, at least up to the exhaustion of UI benefits, and report substantially larger fractions of these spells as unemployment; (b) weekly benefit amounts exert no significant influence on the likelihood of UI recipiency, on the length of spells between jobs, or on the fraction of these spells classified as unemployment; and (c) increases in weeks of UI eligibility raise the likelihood of UI collection and lengthen the number of weeks of unemployment between jobs by inducing long spells to become longer and not by altering short-duration behavior.     

Older Drivers Retiring From the Road: An Application of the Selection,Optimization, and Compensation Model

Purpose: This study uses the selection, optimization, and compensation (SOC) model to compare older adults who have given up driving, those who still drive, and those who drive less to identify differences in the three groups. Design and Methods: This cross-sectional study of 281 older adults is part of the Naturally Occurring Retirement Community Demonstration Project. Study participants completed interviews that included questions on demographics, health and functioning, mental health, social support, and current levels of engagement in activities including current driving status. Results: Data suggest that driving retirement is a process and that a substantial number of people are in the transitional stage, where they are less functional than those who still drive and more similar to those who have retired from the road. Implications: Given the similarity of those who drive less to those who have given up driving, front-line professionals and policy makers must work together to ease the transition to driving retirement for those without adequate ability to effectively compensate for their inability to continue to drive safely.     

刑事附带民事诉讼的赔偿范围

刑事附带民事诉讼是我国一项特殊且重要的诉讼制度，在司法实践中很有必要。然而，由于立法的不完善且随着人们对诉讼引发的深入研究和我国诉讼法实践的不断发展，此制度的弊端也不断暴露出来，引起了众多的争议。因此，有必要适时地对这一程序制度进行修改，使之具有科学性、合理性和可操作性，以充分体现诉讼效益原则和诉讼经济原则，实现刑事审判理论和实际的有效统一。     

试论网络环境下的私人复制

在模拟技术条件下,版权与复制相安无事,版权基本能涵盖所有的复制问题。但随着数字技术的运用和网络的普及,大量作品可以随意复制,版权对复制的约束在网络环境下面临新的挑战。通过介绍网络环境下私人复制的论争,探讨私人复制的定位,解析我国著作权法对私人复制的规定及不足,提出了完善我国网络环境下私人复制制度的相关措施,以期对解决司法实践中存在的相关问题有所帮助。     

论死亡赔偿金的制度价值

2009年12月26日通过的《侵权责任法》明确规定在同一事故中可不考虑个人差异,以同一数额确定死亡赔偿金。该条同命同价条款引起社会各界的广泛关注。死亡赔偿并不是对死者生命价值的赔偿,而是对死者近亲属受损利益的救济。死亡赔偿从扶养丧失说改采继承丧失说,赔偿标准采定型化赔偿和客观计算,体现了立法没有为了逻辑自治而漠视社会现实,但对城乡居民采用了两分法的计算标准,显然违背了死亡赔偿金设立的初衷。今后死亡赔偿金制度的完善必然取决于对有关利弊的实证分析而非抽象的逻辑推理。     

征地过程中的退出意愿、受偿诉求与行为策略——基于被征地者视角的本土研究述评

进入经济高速增长期和社会快速转型期的中国，导致了被征地者这一焦点群体的迅速激增。作为征地制度改革和基层社会治理的重要承载体，该群体在征地过程中的退出意愿、受偿诉求与行为策略等问题已得到不少本土情景下的实证研究的重视，形成了一系列有影响的研究成果。围绕“退出意愿”，研究者提出了个体特征论、家庭结构论、空间区位论、发展期望论、身份锚定论、政策认知论六种理论假说。围绕“受偿诉求”，除了通常作为谈判之焦点的补偿数额，学者们也揭示出被征地者对于分配方案、程序正义、生存保障的诉求。围绕“行为策略”，研究者主要通过博弈模型、案例分析两种方法进行研究。尽管部分研究已经呈现了上述三个维度之间交融沟通的趋势，但三者各自为阵的孤立局面依旧存在。如何促成被征地者的类型知识、需求学说和行动理论之间的逻辑联结，揭示其中的内在机制，建立出一套整合性框架，应当成为下一步的精进方向。     

Opportunities of the minimum Anderson–Darling estimator as a variant of the maximum likelihood method

We reveal that the minimum Anderson–Darling (MAD) estimator is a variant of the maximum likelihood method. Furthermore, it is shown that the MAD estimator offers excellent opportunities for parameter estimation if there is no explicit formulation for the distribution model. The computation time for the MAD estimator with approximated cumulative distribution function is much shorter than that of the classical maximum likelihood method with approximated probability density function. Additionally, we research the performance of the MAD estimator for the generalized Pareto distribution and demonstrate a further advantage of the MAD estimator with an issue of seismic hazard analysis.     

A two-sample parametric group sequential procedure for monitoring clinical trials

A group sequential procedure is presented which allows for staggered entry of patients, random loss to followup, and utilizes the flexible boundary approach of Lan and DeMets. The proposed procedure assumes that response times are nearly exponentially distributed. An example as well as simulation studies comparing the performance of the proposed procedure with the group sequential logrank are also presented.
