论王小波对“反智倾向”的文学表现与文化批判

中国文化传统中存在着根深蒂固的反智倾向,对之加以文学表现和文化批判,是王小波文学创作的重要主题。反智倾向着重表现在两个方面,一是剥夺爱智者的求知权利,一是对知识分子的求知活动设限,特别是负筛选和向下拉齐的策略对智性发展以及知识分子主体自由造成极为严重的消极后果,包括对知识的恶意误用、改写,混淆分科之学的价值功用、将科学艺术化,迫使和诱使知识分子自我审查和自我禁锢,等等。王小波针对反智倾向的文学表现和文化批判,揭示了求知权利和能力在主体建构中不可或缺的价值。     

论我国福利行政的程序完善

认为福利行政的程序是灵活的、弹性的,是自由裁量的领域的观点,是对西方行政法学理论的一种误读。福利行政程序的主要内容还是刚性的程序性规定,这一部分内容才是福利行政程序的核心所在。从中国国情考虑,可以在《行政程序法》中单设行政给付程序一节。在立法内容上,应在启动程序、决定程序、听证程序、公开程序等方面进行有针对性的设计,引入依职权启动程序、简易程序和事后听证等新型程序。     

Screening children with a history of maltreatment for post-traumatic stress disorder in frontline social care organizations: A process evaluation

The use of standardized screening tools to identify trauma exposure and associated symptoms is commonly recommended as a key component in the development of trauma informed services and is seen as integral to facilitating access to evidence-based therapies. However, there is limited evidence in the UK about the factors influencing the adoption of such tools into routine practice in children's social care. This paper presents the findings from a process evaluation of how practitioners implemented a screening tool for post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression into their day-to-say practice and what worked or did not work during the process. The findings from this study highlight the potential benefits for both young people and practitioners, alongside some of the challenges involved. In particular, practitioners need to see the direct benefit for young people of being assessed. Additionally, practitioners value regular mentoring as they become more proficient in using standardized screening tools.     

Screening for disruptive behavior in adolescents at risk using the strengths and difficulties questionnaire

Disruptive behavior in adolescents is burdensome and may continue into adulthood if left unidentified. The strengths and difficulties questionnaire (SDQ) can screen for disruptive behavior, but its psychometric properties in high-risk samples and ability to predict delinquency warrant further investigation. In 1022 adolescents, we investigated the predictive validity (on average 1.9 years after screening) of the self-reported SDQ on disruptive behavior disorders and delinquency, measured with multi-informant questionnaires and structured interviews. We compared three scoring methods: total, subscale, and dysregulation profile scoring. In this high-risk sample, SDQ subscale scores predicted disruptive behavior outcomes best. Predictive values for the specific types of delinquency were small. Concluding, the SDQ can be used in high-risk settings for early identification of youth with disruptive behavior.     

Bargaining and Reputation

The paper develops a reputation based theory of bargaining. The idea is to investigate and highlight the influence of bargaining ‘postures’ on bargaining outcomes. A complete information bargaining model a la Rubinstein is amended to accommodate ‘irrational types’ who are obstinate, and indeed for tractability assumed to be completely inflexible in their offers and demands. A strong ‘independence of procedures’ result is derived: after initial postures have been adopted, the bargaining outcome is independent of the fine details of the bargaining protocol so long as both players have the opportunity to make offers frequently. The latter analysis yields a unique continuous‐time limit with a war of attrition structure. In the continuous‐time game, equilibrium is unique, and entails delay, consequently inefficiency. The equilibrium outcome reflects the combined influence of the rates of time preference of the players and the ex ante probabilities of different irrational types. As the probability of irrationality goes to zero, delay and inefficiency disappear; furthermore, if there is a rich set of types for both agents, the limit equilibrium payoffs are inversely proportional to their rates of time preference.     

近代行业纠纷解决机制理论探微——以自贡盐业纠纷解决机制为例

在中国近代的行业纠纷解决机制中,纠纷的当事人依据国家法和行业习惯法的契合,明确了行业纠纷解决中所存在的权利义务关系,并从中找出纠纷解决的合意。行业组织在一定范围之内充当了仲裁者的角色,是行业纠纷解决的主体。在这样的一个过程当中,通过国家的立法,保障了行业纠纷解决机制程序的问题,在一定程度上使行业纠纷解决由原来的注重实质正义向注重程序正义转变,提高了纠纷解决的公信力和权威性。这对当代的行业纠纷解决提供了一个可供参考的借鉴。主要实例来自于四川自贡盐业的档案、文献,盐业纠纷的解决机制实际上在近代的中国呈现出一种解决方式多元化、行业组织与地方法院互相协作、配合和注重习惯法、解纷程序的特点,不失为近代行业纠纷解决机制较为合理的一个蓝本。     

Responding to the call: a conceptual model for kinship care assessment

Kinship care has become an important care option worldwide. However, in many jurisdictions, child welfare services use traditional foster care assessment systems. The assessment of the kinship home poses particular challenges. The initial assessment of the kinship home, enabling emergency placements, provides a child‐centred perspective. However, agencies frequently fail to meet the designated time frame for completion of the assessment/approval process. Such failures require the development of different conceptual models for kinship care service delivery, especially for assessments. This paper builds on earlier work on assessment models, drawing on the international literature and the author's involvement and research on kinship care in Ireland. The usability of the proposed model needs to be evaluated across different legislative, policy and practice contexts internationally.     

Estimating infant mortality in Colombia: some overdispersion modelling approaches

It is common to fit generalized linear models with binomial and Poisson responses, where the data show a variability that is greater than the theoretical variability assumed by the model. This phenomenon, known as overdispersion, may spoil inferences about the model by considering significant parameters associated with variables that have no significant effect on the dependent variable. This paper explains some methods to detect overdispersion and presents and evaluates three well-known methodologies that have shown their usefulness in correcting this problem, using random mean models, quasi-likelihood methods and a double exponential family. In addition, it proposes some new Bayesian model extensions that have proved their usefulness in correcting the overdispersion problem. Finally, using the information provided by the National Demographic and Health Survey 2005, the departmental factors that have an influence on the mortality of children under 5 years and female postnatal period screening are determined. Based on the results, extensions that generalize some of the aforementioned models are also proposed, and their use is motivated by the data set under study. The results conclude that the proposed overdispersion models provide a better statistical fit of the data.
