On the preservation of copula structure under truncation

The author characterizes the copula associated with the bivariate survival model of Clayton (1978) as the only absolutely continuous copula that is preserved under bivariate truncation.     

论动物福利法的基本理念

“承认和维护动物福利,认可和维护动物的自然权利,尊重生命、善待动物、不虐待动物,保护动物福利也是保护人的利益,人与动物和谐相处,将科学精神与人文精神相结合”,这些是动物福利法的基本理念。动物福利法确认的是“动物的权利”,而不是“动物的人权”,更不是法律确认了动物是人。尊重生命是善待动物、不虐待动物的思想基础,不虐待动物是尊重生命的起码要求。科学精神是动物福利法的基础,人文精神是动物福利法的灵魂。只有形成并贯彻科学精神与人文精神相结合的理念,才能在一个汇集多种文明、多种主义、多种观念的多元化的当代社会,启动和推进动物福利立法。     

试析中国诗性智慧语境下的《镜花缘》

在理性的语境下解读充满浪漫主义色彩的<镜化缘>,一方面扭曲了固有的鲜活灵动的审美旨趣,另一方面遮蔽了艺术思维与人类思维的血脉渊源.因此,只有把<镜化缘>放到中国诗性智慧的独特语境下,才能使文本凸显中国诗性文化特有的生命一体化的哲学维度以及女性崇拜的原形题旨.     

我国农地所有权制度的变迁与创新

历史上,我国农地经历了从原始公有制向国有制再到私有制的变迁,而建国后则经历了从耕者有其田到集体所有的变迁。文章运用新制度经济学理论对我国农地所有权制度的变迁作了分析,并为《物权法》的制定、当前集体农地所有权制度创新提出了建议。     

王阳明“狂者胸次”与“圣人气象”的趋融

《尚书》中的“惟圣罔念作狂,惟狂克念作圣”在后世经学阐释中逐渐开启了“狂”与“圣”之间的分野,宋代以降屡有对“狂”“圣”分野的质疑与重释,明代关于“狂”与“圣”的讨论开始往“心学”之路上走。王阳明在致良知的思想框架中阐释“狂”及“狂者胸次”,“圣”及“圣人气象”。王阳明认为,狂者依良知真是真非而行,在行为上“嘐嘐圣人而行不揜”,有“凤凰翔于千仞气象”。他提出“圣人之道,吾性自足”,将成圣的根据牢牢安置于人的内心,“圣人之学,惟是致此良知而已”,将圣人之道与自己的致良知之学绾合起来,高屋建瓴地提出“圣人气象不在圣人而在我”。在他的思想中“狂”与“圣”渐趋弥合,在他的人格上“狂者胸次”与“圣人气象”也渐趋融合。“狂者胸次”与“圣人气象”趋融的关捩就在于“裁”。以“致良知”裁之,“狂”之资与“圣”之质在阳明的人格上趋于圆融自如。     

“健康丝绸之路”构建的“政府—社会”复合路径

借鉴社会运动理论,可探索一种融合了政府自上而下和社会自下而上进程的“政府—社会”复合路径,以构建“健康丝绸之路”。社会运动理论的三种视角可为这种复合路径的具体实施与需要关注的环节带来重要启发：首先,当前新冠肺炎疫情的跨国传播暴露了全球公共卫生治理体系存在的严重不足,凸显出构建补充型国际卫生合作模式的必要性与紧迫性;其次,推进“健康丝绸之路”的构建,需要政府和社会层面的协作,将“一带一路”沿线国家的资源充分调动起来,形成优势互补与资源共享。与此同时,要推进健康话语体系的完善,如倡导和促进“人类卫生健康共同体”理念的传播,通过话语和心理共鸣等民心相通的途径,促使国际社会采取联合行动以共同应对全球公共卫生危机。     

房地分离：宅基地流转之钥——以宅基地使用权继承之困局为切入点

尽管具有一定保障性,但宅基地制度的首要目标在于经济管理,其表面上强调“户有所居”,实际是“户有定居”。宅基地上使用权所承载的管理性与农民自费建造农房所有权的私权性,存在内在的矛盾,不应适用房地一体规则,因为后者遵循着传统民法应对市场交易的基本逻辑。自然资源部所发布的文件明确了宅基地使用权可以由城镇居民继承,内核乃是基于房地一体,以房屋所有权的可继承带动宅基地使用权的可继承,颇为冒进。宅基地上所有权与房屋使用权应当分离,这将为宅基地的流转与乡村振兴提供新的契机：农房的自由流转加上宅基地使用权的农民保有,将最大限度地在现有阶段实现市场与制度的有机契合;对于取得农房的所有权人,在房地分离之下,可以借助对宅基地使用权的法定租赁来设计合理的权利结构。     

Asian Women,Job Training and the Social Organization of Immigrant Labor Markets

This paper examines the entry of Asian immigrant women into a gendered labor market via government-funded job training programs. The focus is on the intake processing of clients into an employment training program operated by a community based organization. The study reveals that women's family responsibilities and the cultural capital they bring function to screen them into or out of training programs and ultimately shape their location in the workforce. The study thus draws attention to how race, class, and gender enter into the organization of Asian immigrant women into the labor market. This investigation is based in institutional ethnography (Smith 1987), a research strategy which displays how activities in a particular setting are coordinated with more extended forms of social organization. The study shows that the overriding concern with successful placement in a job as mandated by government regulations is a critical factor in selecting the women for these programs.     

The majority legal status of women in southern Africa: implications for women and families

Women in many countries of southern Africa do not have majority status or have only recently gained this right. Majority status grants individuals adult legal status and the right to bring matters to court, own and administer property, have legal custody of children, and contract for marriage. This article summarizes the legal status of women in Botswana, Lesotho, South Africa, Swaziland, Zambia, and Zimbabwe. Lack of majority status contributes to the ongoing risk of poverty for women and makes them overly dependent on men. Compounding the situation in these countries is the presence of a dual legal system. Improving the situation of women and their families involves targeting changes in the legal system, influencing implementation of laws, educating women about their rights, and giving women needed support to seek their legal rights. The legal status of women must be viewed in the context of historical changes in the economic, educational, political, and cultural developments of society.The research for this paper was conducted during her previous faculty affiliation with the University of Michigan, School of Social Work. Her research interests include the impact of social change on women and families, rural mental health services, and health and mental health linkages. She received her Ph.D. from Rutgers University and her M.S.W. from the Columbia University School of Social Work.Her research interests are gender, work and family, culture and power, social transformations in rural and peri-urban communities, critical education, women and community politics, history of women, family and kinship issues, and community-based program development and evaluation.

De minimis and equity in risk

Indices and orderings are developed for evaluating alternative strategies in the management of risk. They reflect the goals of reducing individual and collective risks, of increasing equity, and of assigning priority to the reduction and to the equity of high risks. Individual risk is defined as the (random or non-random) level of exposure to a danger. In particular the role of a lower negligibility level is investigated. A class of indices is proposed which involves two parameters, a negligibility level and a parameter of inequality aversion, and several interpretations of the indices are discussed. We provide a set of eight axioms which are necessary and sufficient for this class of indices, and we present an approach to deal with partial information on the parameters.
