论我国城市房屋拆迁立法的应然思路——一个物权法的思考视角

我国城市土地物权制度的特殊结构决定了我国城市房屋拆迁模式必然异于发达的市场经济国家。在我国立法可以采取的三种城市房屋拆迁模式中,包含有四层复杂法律关系的政府主导型拆迁模式最适合我国国情。因此,我国未来城市房屋拆迁立法应以政府主导型拆迁模式为基础,并以协商型拆迁与折衷型拆迁模式为补充。     

论中国共产党建党理论的创新

实践证明,党的建设是我们党克敌制胜的一大法宝,而建党理论的创新是前提。中国共产党把马克思列宁主义建党理论同中国实际相结合,提出适合中国国情的党的建设理论,反映了时代的需要,全面体现了党的先进性,增强了党的凝聚力和战斗力。学习掌握这些经验,对于我们坚持新时期党的建设纲领有着重要意义。

An examination of the role of online social media in journalists’ source mix

Using telephone surveys of business/financial journalists in the United States (n = 200), this research investigates the agenda-building role of social media content in journalists’ work. Understanding that more non-public relations content from user-generated and social network sites, like YouTube and Twitter, are fast becoming resources for journalists to get story ideas, break scandals, and find sources, we began this scholarly work to determine the frequency of such uses of social media. Overall, findings indicate very little use of social media by these business journalists. Results and implications for public relations practitioners are discussed in detail.     

Developing an undue influence screening tool for Adult Protective Services

The study purpose was to develop and pilot an undue influence screening tool for California’s Adult Protective Services (APS) personnel based on the definition of undue influence enacted into California law January 1, 2014. Methods included four focus groups with APS providers (n = 33), piloting the preliminary tool by APS personnel (n = 15), and interviews with four elder abuse experts and two APS administrators. Social service literature—including existing undue influence models—was reviewed, as were existing screening and assessment tools. Using the information from these various sources, the California Undue Influence Screening Tool (CUIST) was developed. It can be applied to APS cases and potentially adapted for use by other professionals and for use in other states. Implementation of the tool into APS practice, policy, procedures, and training of personnel will depend on the initiative of APS management. Future work will need to address the reliability and validity of CUIST.     

A gradient-based deletion diagnostic measure for generalized linear mixed models

A gradient-statistic-based diagnostic measure is developed in the context of the generalized linear mixed models. Its performance is assessed by some real examples and simulation studies, in terms of ability in detecting influential data structures and of concordance with the most used influence measures.     

The influence function of the optimal bandwidth for kernel density estimation

Theories about the bandwidth of kernel density estimation have been well established by many statisticians. However, the influence function of the bandwidth has not been well investigated. The influence function of the optimal bandwidth that minimizes the mean integrated square error is derived and the asymptotic property of the bandwidth selectors based on the influence function is provided.     

Celebrating the 21st anniversary of empowerment evaluation with our critical friends

This special topic edition of E&PP presents the insights of luminaries in the field who have helped shape empowerment evaluation with their critiques, concerns, and congratulations. We celebrate their contributions to empowerment evaluation. This special topic edition of E&PP presents their comments about an evaluation approach that, according to president Stewart Donaldson, has “gone viral” across the globe (Donaldson, 2015).To set the stage for these critical friends’ comments, additional context for their discussion is provided. In addition, this special topic edition concludes with a brief comment on their thoughts.     

Contextual influence on evaluation capacity building in a rapidly changing environment under new governmental policies

Evaluation capacity building (ECB) is a context-dependent process. Contextual factors affecting ECB implementation have been explored theoretically and practically, but their influence within a changing environment has seldom been discussed. This study examined essential context-sensitive parameters, particularly those involved in implementing new governmental policies regarding higher education. Taiwan was used as a case study for exploring the effect of contextual change on ECB attributes from the perspectives of training receivers and providers. Surveys and interviews were used for data collection and importance–performance analysis was applied for data analysis. Four prominent features were identified. First, the ECB attributes perceived as important by receivers were performed adequately, whereas those perceived as less important were performed less well. Second, under new policies, training provider designed training covering a wide range of ECB, whereas receivers focused on those can be directly applied in evaluation process. Third, in a small education system such as Taiwan’s, the complexity of peer review is high and ethical issues become important. Fourth, because the evaluation structure has been changed from single- to dual-track, receivers expect more training for institution staff, whereas providers insist on hierarchical training. Aligning ECB supply and needs is paramount for adaptation to new policies.     

关于重庆市高校网络党建工作的调查与思考

重庆市高校网络党建是新时期加强党的建设,加快重庆市高等教育事业的重要建设。网络环境下高校党建工作与传统的高校党建工作相互交错、相互渗透并互为补充,高等学校作为培养人才的基地,将高校党建工作置于网络环境下研究,成为做好新形势下高校党建工作的迫切要求。针对高校网络党建工作存在的问题和原因,应从提高认识,把握高校党建工作的方向性;严格选拔,形成多方投入的教育合力;强化学习,提升高校党建工作者综合素质;明确标准,运用网络优化高校党建的具体环节;建章立法,规范高校网络党建管理体制;创新形式,加强网络环境下高校校园文化建设;促进载体创新,增强工作吸引力、渗透力和生命力等方面入手,加强重庆市高校网络党建工作的对策研究。
