对海事依法行政有关问题的思考

中国的改革开放是一场史无前例的“摸着石头过河”的大试验。依法行政也有“摸着石头过河”的感觉。马列主义是关于实践的科学,从实践的角度来认识与思考依法行政,对提高依法行政水平更具有现实性。     

How and why do men and women differ in their willingness to use automated cars? The influence of emotions across different age groups

Current research on willingness to use automated cars indicates differences between men and women, with the latter group showing lower usage intentions. This study aims at providing a first explanation of this effect. Research from other fields suggests that affective reactions might be able to explain behavioral intentions and responses towards technology, and that these affects vary depending on age levels. By examining a sample of 1603 participants representative for Germany (in terms of biological sex, age, and education) we found evidence that affective responses towards automotive cars (i.e., anxiety and pleasure) explain (i.e., mediate) the effect of biological sex on willingness to use them. Moreover, we found that these emotional processes vary as a function of respondent age in such a way that the differential effect of sex on anxiety (but not on pleasure) was more pronounced among relatively young respondents and decreased with participants’ age. Our results suggest that addressing anxiety-related responses towards automated cars (e.g., by providing safety-related information) and accentuating especially the pleasurable effects of automated cars (e.g., via advertising) reduce differences between men and women. Addressing the anxiety-related effects in order to reduce sex differences in usage intentions seems to be less relevant for older target groups, whereas promoting the pleasurable responses is equally important across age groups.     

Non‐compatible chemicals as cargoes in industry,on road,rail, and water

Toronto is to have an urban transit system with a passenger carrying capacity which fills the gap between the capacity of the subway and the capacity of the car and bus. Correspondingly, in the words of the Premier of Ontario, the system will “make possible an attractive alternative to high‐rise, high‐density living and urban sprawl. . . .” Furthermore, the new system is sufficiently economical to provide “. . . an encouragement to growth in appropriate areas, rather than merely responding to growth as it occurs . . .”

The decision to have such a system is the culmination of some years of major transportation activities in the Province, which included the Metropolitan Toronto and Region Transportation Study (MTARTS) of 1962. This study pursued both urban expressways and public transport solutions to the movement of people in Metropolitan Toronto.

The urban expressways programmes ran into difficulties, on environmental terms, when strong opposition from community groups was met on proposed routes. A climax came when the Ontario Government halted the construction of the controversial Spadina expressway in June 1971. However, the programmes of public transport solutions met with great success. The Toronto subway and its extensions, together with the change in land values along the route, has become a classic success story. So, too, has the introduction of the GO Train Service (Government of Ontario train service). This pioneered a combination of commuter rail service and integrated feeder buses and today replaces some 14,000 cars each day along the lakeshore highways.

The success of the subway and the GO train coupled with the difficulties experienced by the urban expressways programme, gave rise to the realisation that a better city through public transport rather than the car, was practicable. However, subways were too expensive and they needed a large patronage in a narrow corridor. Accordingly, an intermediate capacity transit system was sought.

The paper describes the programme of activities involved in the choice of the system and describes the technical specification which the system will enjoy. In particular, the demonstration installation which is to be set‐up in Toronto is described in detail, together with the plans to instal some 56 miles over five routes in Metropolitan Toronto.     

A model of the travel to work limits of parents

This paper considers the length of time that parents are willing to travel to an existing or new job. Using data for over 12,000 parents it finds that many characteristics were associated with being less likely to be willing to travel to work for at least an hour (roundtrip). These include: being a women, those out of work, having children under 5, being a lone parent and using formal childcare. Professionals and associate professions were more willing to travel for longer periods. In terms of location, those in accessible small towns and rural areas were willing to travel more than those in larger urban areas and those in remote rural areas willing to travel most. Policy implications are also set out.

论无单放货诉讼时效的起算点

国际贸易中因卖方提交的单据不符合信用证的规定遭银行退单是常有的事,然而一般此时船舶抵达卸货港已有时日,若承运人无单放货,卖方向承运人提起无单放货之诉,其诉讼时效究竟是以船舶抵达卸货港具备交付条件之日起计算,还是以卖方银行被退单后持有正本提单向承运人主张交货之日起计算,司法实践中不无争议,笔者认为,从公平合理等角度分析,应以后者起算为宜。     

对"医疗侵权诉讼举证责任倒置"的思考

《关于民事诉讼证据的若干规定》第四条第一款第八项规定:因医疗行为引起的侵权诉讼,由医疗机构就医疗行为与损害结果之间不存在因果关系及不存在医疗过错承担举证责任,即把医疗侵权诉讼的举证责任分配给了医疗机构。文章分析了医疗侵权诉讼实行举证责任倒置自身存在一些不足以及实施后给各方面带来了不利影响,提出了问题解决的建议和设想。     

动对动GPS相对定位系统中整周模糊度求解

为解决GPS技术实现困难的问题,在证明动对动GPS定位时,模糊度整数解搜索准则和静态时是一样的结论基础上,认为动对动模糊度整数解搜索可以直接引用静态测量已有的理论,动对动模糊度解算的关键是"快速"计算模糊度的实数解,并应用最小二乘准则给出动对动GPS定位时的模糊度实数解求解公式。试验数据计算表明,计算时只需少数几个历元数据,模糊度实数解就收敛到整数解附近,且方差较小,因而模糊度的备选值较少,只需几次试算即可确定正确解,从而达到"快速"解算的目的。
