民事发回重审之功能论

民事诉讼中发回重审在司法实践中确保初审程序的正当化,明确了上下级法院职能分工,保障诉讼当事人两审终审之利益。发回重审以其独有的功能而区别于其它二审裁决方式。但实务操作中因法律笼统规定等相关因素和制度本身种种弊端使得发回重审滥用现象严重,这也与民事诉讼追求的效率与公正价值取向背道而驰。虽然我国在2012年8月新修的《民事诉讼法》中完善了发回重审制度,但对于发回重审的具体事由以及相关处理程序仍有待规范。因此,适当限制发回重审是由,严格把控重审程序,给予当事人一定的程序选择权,对消解发回重审的滥用和当事人诉讼利益的保护,彰显法治权威和统一有着不可小觑的作用。

Families and Inheritance Decisions: Examining Non-Titled Property Transfers

This study examines the transfer of personal possessions, which is a dimension of inheritance decision making from which few families are exempt but which largely has been ignored by researchers and educators. The qualitative analysis of a purposeful sample of individual family members who had experienced a transfer of non-titled personal possessions suggested the influence of six key themes. These included: (a) a sensitivity of the issue, (b) lack of goal discussion, (c) different perceptions of fairness, (d) different meanings of objects, (e) lack of awareness of distribution options and consequences, and (f) potential for conflict. The themes identified reinforced that inheritance is not simply an economic or legal issue but one with complex emotional and family relationship dimensions. The findings provide the foundation for further research agendas and for developing educational resources to help family members communicate about and make more informed decisions regarding the transfer of non-titled property.     

The Tyranny of the Customer and the Cost of Consumerism: An Analysis Using Systems and Psychoanalytic Approaches to Groups and Society

This paper argues that an organizationaldiscourse on consumerism is replacing a prior discourseof dependency. This discourse encourages, and isencouraged by, economic rationales for behavior and ismarked by the collapse of many complex societal rolesinto the simpler category of customer.Moreover, practices emergent from consumerism andeconomic rationalism often act as organizational andsocial defences against anxieties about theuncertainties and changes occurring in a worldincreasingly dominated by global markets where thecustomer is sovereign. Six workinghypotheses are proposed to explain the operation of these new socialdefences. Evidence in support of these hypotheses comesfrom collaborative action research projects in which theauthor is involved. The argument moves toward a consideration of the new consumerprovider pair which, it is proposed, has becomea major signifier within the consumer discourse andwhich might be considered as a transitional pair indealing with widespread organizationalchange.     

浅说采访立场和新闻报道的正确性

树立正确的采访立场,确保新闻报道的正确性,是对每个新闻媒体和新闻从业人员的要求。但在实际工作中,新闻报道的"真实性"、"准确性"与"正确性"的内在联系和区别往往混淆不清。正确的新闻报道要在真实性的原则上,解决好"倾向性"的问题,要善于从总体上、本质上和发展趋势上把握事物的"真实性"。同时,新闻报道的正确程度还要接受人民大众的评判和检验,人民的信任是衡量采访立场和新闻报道正确性的尺子。     

Use of a conceptual model of societal drivers of ecological change in South Florida: Implications of an ecosystem management scenario

Human-dominated ecosystems such as in South Florida's Everglades region are greatly affected by societal actions and choices, and efforts to restore degraded ecosystems must take into account the societal drivers of ecosystem change. A conceptual model of societal-ecological interactions within the region illustrates connections between major societal drivers, such as water management and land use, and ecological stressors, such as loss of habitat and nutrient loading. Using the conceptual model as an initial guide for discussion, examination of a restoration scenario for the region shows that social and economic effects from activities proposed in a restoration scenario will likely affect most sectors of South Florida. Political effects from changing land and water management practices likely will be significant, as will the physical effects of changing water structures and management practices. Conceptual models such as this can aid in the initial stages of ecosystem restoration discussions and can assist in planning for subsequent social science evaluations of specific societal impacts of actual proposed governmental restoration alternatives. In crafting restoration scenarios, local, regional, and national decision makers can use conceptual models such as this to help broaden the early considerations of how possible future changes in societal drivers, including management choices, will change ecological stressors that affect ecosystem health.

论对我国弱势群体权利保护的法理思考

弱势群体从法律意义上讲是指在社会转型时期，因社会制度安排等非个人因素而导致的在生存、就业或合法权益保障方面处于弱势地位，需要由国家通过法定形式予以救济的人群共同体。弱势群体“弱势”的实质是权利弱势。弱势群体权利保护的法律理念应为：公平、正义、秩序和发展权。     

构建和谐社会中的收入分配问题

当前我国社会收入分配问题的症结不是在于基尼系数所表达的分配结果不均,而是在于机会不平等的过程中产生的分配不公。能否处理好不同范畴的收入分配问题,特别是因滥用公共权力引起的社会分配不公,则关系到改革、发展、稳定的大局。社会需要通过改革有效调整已经形成的社会收入分配格局,使之能够朝着公平、正义的方向演变,这是构建和谐社会中亟待解决的关键问题之一。     

试论和谐文化的建设途径

实现社会和谐是人类历史上长期追求的社会理想,每一种社会都需要与之相适应的文化,构建社会主义和谐社会需要与之相匹配的和谐文化。从狭义的"文化"概念即观念文化出发,和谐文化至少应该包括法治、制度观念、公平观念、诚信观念和美德意识四个方面。和谐文化的建设主要有三个基本途径:坚持全面、协调和可持续的发展观,进一步改善人们的物质生活条件,同时公平对待每一个人的生存需要和发展需要;健全、完善相关制度,强化人们的法治意识,营造健康向上的社会环境;复兴中国传统中的"和"文化意识,延续"和而不同"的优良传统。
