客家人在台湾政坛的“副首”角色——兼谈李登辉的族属问题

客家在台湾是人数仅少于闽南人的第二大族群,其政治热情及其表现一直令人瞩目。耐人寻味的是,历史上台湾地区不仅最高领导人无客家人担任,连最具权力或重要机关的最高长官也几乎一直由闽南人和外省人包揽,客家人只担任了其中一些副职。这种现象无论从客家在台湾的人口比例及其政治热情来衡量,还是与中外政坛相关事相相观照,似乎都不可思议,因而很值得研究和探讨。     

古代雅典男子对妇女两面态度的成因

古代雅典男子对妇女存在着既尊重爱戴又厌恶的两面态度。这种矛盾妇女观的产生与当时的家庭和社会分工、经济原因、一夫一妻制家庭的不稳定性以及古代雅典人性观念的不成熟有很大关系。探讨清楚这种矛盾的妇女观对于研究古希腊妇女的地位问题至关重要。     

Pathways between education and health: a causal modelling approach

Summary.  The association of poor education and poor health has been consistently observed in many studies and in various countries. Thus far, studies examining the mechanisms underlying this association have looked at only a limited set of potential pathways. This study simultaneously examines six distinctive pathways, which have been hypothesized to link education and health and found support from previous studies. A causal analysis of education and health was performed using structural equation models. Data were used from six phases of the National Child Development Study, which is based on following up an initial sample of 17416 children who were born in 1958. The association between education and health appears to be explained by a combination of mechanisms: adolescent health and adult health behaviours for men and women, adult social class among men and parental social class among women. We conclude that improvements in population educational attainment may not automatically lead to improvements in population health, and that health policies for improving health and reducing health inequalities need to target specific causal pathways.

宋代君臣讲论《尚书》考

宋代士大夫坚持"示人主以轨范"的《尚书》观,推崇《尚书》的皇帝教育意义,并针对时弊援引、阐释《尚书》,提出皇帝治国理政必须秉持的原则和应当采取的措施,以经典和圣人的名义规范时君的行为.有些皇帝也认同"轨范"之说,或自觉而勤勉地听讲、阅读《尚书》,或借助《尚书》昭示效法圣王的决心.此外,《尚书》在宋代还被视作为臣的楷模.皇帝通过御赐、引释《尚书》等方式勉励大臣效法上古贤臣,积极劝谏、辅佐君主.皇帝和士大夫不断回溯《尚书》中唐虞三代的政治场景,由文本给予的共同回忆努力构建共同的价值,增进彼此认同,并支撑自身的合法性,共享经典文本的权威.     

新时代法治信仰建设:价值指向、心理机制与实践路径

法治信仰是现代法律信仰的核心,是对社会主义法治理念的充分信任和法律制度的自觉遵从。习近平法治思想作为我国法治建设的指导思想,为新时代中国特色社会主义法治信仰建设提供了价值指向,要以“五个坚持”为指导,营造有利于法治信仰生成的政治环境。从法治信仰的心理机制来看,人民群众在对法治价值有了初步认可后,便在价值体验的催化下形成法治价值观,继而在科学公正的立法、执法、司法、守法过程中坚定法治信念,实现法治信仰的升华。要引导全体人民拥护法治、做社会主义法治的忠实崇尚者和捍卫者,在立法、执法、司法以及法治宣传等实践中大力推进新时代法治信仰建设。

Physician perceptions of medical malpractice and defensive medicine

Using judgments obtained in interviews with 33 Massachusetts physicians, the annual statewide volume of expenditures incurred for defensive medical reasons in 1982 was estimated to be $1.0 billion, 12% of all medical care expenditures. Estimates for the nation were $37 billion, 14% of expenditures. Nationally, 180,000 cesarean deliveries were thought to be performed for defensive motives. In their own institutions, respondents judged 43% of all skull x-rays following injury to be medically justified, 30% to be defensive medicine, 16% to be placebos, and 11% to be physician misjudgments. In considering the economic and noneconomic costs of medical malpractice procedures, the dollar costs of insurance were considered most serious, followed closely by defensive medicine, unfairness, and poorer relations with patients. Thirty-two percent of the responsibility for the negative aspects of malpractice processes was assigned to lawyers, 21% to physicians, 18% to legislatures and courts, 16% to patients, and 13% to insurance companies.
