论环境公益诉讼的历史发展及检察机关在其中的定位

新《环境保护法》即将实施,党的十八届四中全会公报明确提出探索建立检察机关提起公益诉讼制度,这意味着环境公益诉讼在我国的司法实践将获得突破。本文试图结合环境公益诉讼的历史发展结合检察机关在环境公益诉讼中的主体地位进行初步探讨,以期确定检察机关在环境公益诉讼的定位。     

京津冀生态环境建设：现状、问题与应对

以一座钢管混凝土连续梁拱组合单线铁路桥为工程背景,采用先整体后局部的两步分析法,首先利用Midas/Civil软件建立全桥有限元模型,计算拱肋安装及后续施工阶段结构的受力状态,得到局部模型的力边界条件;然后利用ANSYS软件建立拱脚结点局部有限元模型,分析施工期间拱脚结点的局部应力分布规律和应力集中程度;最后将拱脚结点应力计算值与实测值进行比较。结果表明,拱肋与梁体间传力顺畅,拱脚混凝土基本处于受压状态;拱脚内侧与箱梁顶板交界处应力集中现象较明显;拱脚上部拱肋周围、拱脚前脚趾处及两拱脚之间箱梁顶板的局部区域出现较大的拉应力,建议在同类桥梁的设计中加强这些部位的构造措施和配筋。拱脚结点应力计算值与实测值比较接近,说明用实体有限元模型计算的局部应力是可靠的,可用于设计验算。     

The LGBQ Social Climate Matters: Policies,Protests, and Placards and Psychological Well-Being Among LGBQ Emerging Adults

Sexual minority youth, including emerging adults, are at risk for negative health outcomes. Minority stress theory posits that heterosexism can contribute to these outcomes among sexual minorities. Researchers have tested this theory with respect to interpersonal heterosexism; however, little attention has been given to macro-level and environmental forms of heterosexism, especially among lesbian, gay, bisexual, and queer (LGBQ) youth. In this study, we examine the role of objective social climate (LGB state-level policies) and experiential distal and proximal environmental microaggressions on the psychological well-being of LGBQ emerging adults. Furthermore, we examine the role of LGBQ identity salience as a moderating factor on the macro/environmental-heterosexism and well-being relationship. Multivariable linear regression results suggest that living in a state without same-sex marriage laws is associated with greater self-esteem, whereas both distal and proximal environmental microaggressions are risk factors for anxiety and perceived stress. Furthermore, identity salience can ameliorate the effects of distal microaggressions and intensify the effects of proximal microaggressions and same-sex marriage legislation. Implications for practice with sexual minority youth are discussed.     

Minority Stress and Stress Proliferation Among Same‐Sex and Other Marginalized Couples

Drawing from 2 largely isolated approaches to the study of social stress—stress proliferation and minority stress—the authors theorize about stress and mental health among same‐sex couples. With this integrated stress framework, they hypothesized that couple‐level minority stressors may be experienced by individual partners and jointly by couples as a result of the stigmatized status of their same‐sex relationship—a novel concept. They also consider dyadic minority stress processes, which result from the relational experience of individual‐level minority stressors between partners. Because this framework includes stressors emanating from both status‐based (e.g., sexual minority) and role‐based (e.g., partner) stress domains, it facilitates the study of stress proliferation linking minority stress (e.g., discrimination), more commonly experienced relational stress (e.g., conflict), and mental health. This framework can be applied to the study of stress and health among other marginalized couples, such as interracial/ethnic, interfaith, and age‐discrepant couples.     

Lift Every Voice: Voices of African-American Lesbian Elders

Old lesbians of African descent have experienced racism, heterosexism, homophobia, and ageism. This article explores the topics of aging, ageism, heterosexism, and minority stress among older African-American lesbians. The narratives and subsequent analysis offer significant contributions to the dialogue regarding Black aging lesbians in the aging and lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) communities generally and in the African-American and African-American lesbian communities specifically.     

‘Your whole life depends on it’: academic stress and high-stakes testing in Ireland

International research consistently shows that high-stakes exams are a significant source of stress and worry for students within secondary education. Existing research focuses on individual variation in exam-related stress levels among students with very little attention given to the influence of school context on student stress. Using data from the Irish Post-Primary Longitudinal Study, a mixed methods study of secondary students, this paper examines both individual and school level factors influencing the levels of stress among students preparing for the nationally standardised Leaving Certificate examination. The paper presents new findings which highlight the potential role of schools in ameliorating student stress. Findings show that student stress is not only influenced by individual-level factors but that certain aspects of the schooling process impact on stress levels. In particular, the quality of student–teacher interaction and peer relations within the school are found to have a significant impact on student stress levels. Students with more positive interactions with their teachers have lower stress levels with higher stress levels among those who have experienced bullying from peers. Stress is also influenced by programme choice at upper secondary level and the extent to which students are facilitated in their choice of subjects.     

地方政府创新的基本动因及其角色定位

当代中国地方政府创新的基本动因，既存在于客观的制度环境之内，又存在于主观的 内在需求之中。正是这种需求，决定了地方政府的角色定位。其出发点是地方政府行为适度 化。包括：行政管理行为适度化、经济管理行为适度化、公共服务行为适度化。     

硼纤维/环氧树脂复合材料界面剪切强度实验分析

本文以0/90硼纤维/环氧树脂复合材料为研究对象,采用单纤维推出的实验方法对其界面剪切强度进行细观分析。在单纤维推出实验过程中,获得使界面脱粘失效的平均载荷,进一步推算出该材料脱粘失效时界面层的最大切应力,即复合材料界面切应力达到该值时,复合材料首先在界面处发生脱粘滑移进而失效破坏;实验结果显示,硼纤维/环氧树脂复合材料构件在界面切应力达到170MPa左右时,界面层开始脱粘失效。

On the Edge: the Financial Situation of Older Renters in the Private Rental Market in Sydney

In this study, based mainly on 17 in‐depth interviews, I explore the financial implications of being an older private renter in Sydney. I illustrate that there are three key factors which determine their degree of financial stress – the actual rent being paid; the degree of support from family members and whether the older renter is living in a single or couple household. It is shown that several of the older renters interviewed found it hard to maintain their physical and mental health. The purchasing of basic items such as nutritious food and clothes was difficult. Having to devote such a substantial part of their income to cover the rent and never knowing when there would be another rent increase had a serious impact on the psychological health of some interviewees. The lack of finances encouraged isolation as interviewees found it financially difficult to participate in social activities.
