Regulations Restricting Internet Access: Attempted Repair Of Rupture In China's Great Wall Restraining The Free Exercise Of Ideas, Scott E. Feir

Washington International Law Journal

The People's Republic of China is in a paradox: While China needs computer networks to assist its plans for modernization, the government fears the uncontrolled exchange of information between China and the rest of the world. Therefore, the People's Republic of China enacted restrictive regulations controlling Internet usage. This comment examines China's attempt to control Internet use in light of these regulations and current censoring technology viewing China as a test case for other countries. Ifa combination of an authoritarian government, restrictive regulations, and physical network controls cannot prevent users in China from accessing and supplying prohibited information, then similar …

迎向21世紀的醫療保健與醫學教育, 博生 謝

Journal of Medical Education

自從1980年以來，疾病的型態、醫療照護系統及醫學生的醫學教育都隨時代的變遷而有巨大的的改變。這種改變為全球所共同體認，而且有許多因應之調整及改革方案的執行，作者針對此種醫學潮流的改變及台大醫學院的因應改革之道提出整體報告。文中首先闡明醫學的任務，醫師的職責及醫療重心偏向於老年及慢性疾病的診治；此外，高度快速文明進展及社會變遷的結果對於疾病的發生及型態亦有顯著影響；生活壓力，人際競爭，不當飲食及作息結果造成文明病如高血壓、糖尿病、肥胖症、心身症等疾病的增加。因此，對社會文化因素的治療策略儼然成為今日醫學的重要課題。此外，新的醫療內涵並包括：新的健康問题如爱滋病患；快速的科技發展與應用；以及高漲的醫療開支和醫療保險所產生的新問題。應付這些巨大改變，宜加強生物心理社會模式的醫療照顧體系，病人的治療不再只限於免於生病，更應強調生理、心理及社會層面的健康。有鑒於對新世代醫師的教育必須以此方向做調整，台大醫學院自1992年開始推行醫學教育改革；新的敎育内容包括整合課程、小組敎學、小組討論、有關醫學人文、醫學倫理、社會心理、醫病關係的新課程及邏輯思考、問题解決、床邊敎學及終生學習態度的敎養等等。社會及醫學的變化將持續擴大，健康促進及疾病預防的重要性將持續提醒我們不應將眼光只限於狹義的疾病治療。具新觀念的新一代醫師將決定未來醫療的品質與成就。

Medicine And Morality, Michael Cheng-Tek Tai

Journal of Medical Education

The preamble to the constitution of the World Health Organization states that the purpose of medicine is to promote complete physical, mental and social well-being. Since medicine promotes health over illness and good over evil, it cannot be amoral. In other words, medicine and morality must go side by side. The purpose of this paper is to show that medicine without morality can be crippling and even blinding. In addition to discussing why medical morality is needed, four case studies (two western and two Taiwanese)are also discussed. Health care is undergoing changes that are more rapid and more dramatic than …

Domestic Child Abuse Under The U.N. Convention On The Rights Of The Child: Implications For Children's Rights In Four Asian Countries, Paula C. Littlewood

Washington International Law Journal

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child is the first binding treaty to endorse children's rights as separate from both adults and the family, and is thus an important step in international law toward recognition of children as rights bearers. An inquiry into the extent to which children enjoy human rights logically begins with Article 19 of the Convention which guarantees a child's right to freedom from abuse and neglect by any party. While most literature in this area concentrates either on the rights guaranteed by the Convention or issues raised by studying child abuse across cultures, …

The Livingston Survey: Still Useful After All These Years, Dean D. Croushore

Economics Faculty Publications

The decisions of households, firms, and government agencies depend on forecasts of the overall economy. Large firms and the federal government often have the resources to hire their own economists to provide forecasts. But households, small firms, and local governments often depend on surveys of forecasters to get their information. In this article, Dean Croushore spotlights the Livingston Survey, which, even after 50 years, still provides useful forecasts of the economy.

The Effort To Stop Abuse Of Foreign Workers In The U.S. Commonwealth Of The Northern Mariana Islands, Greg Holloway

Washington International Law Journal

This comment examines the problem of foreign worker abuse in the U.S. Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands ("NMI"). The United States and the NMI have a unique relationship governed by an agreement known as the "Covenant." The Covenant creates fundamental barriers which will limit the effectiveness of federal efforts to resolve the foreign worker abuse problem in the NMI. This comment demonstrates that a balanced effort of prosecutions by both governments under U.S. federal labor law and NMI criminal law is needed to protect the well being of foreign workers in the NMI.

Hong Kong As A Financial Centre Of Greater China, Y. C. Jao

CAPS Working Paper Series

During the past three decades, Hong Kong has emerged as one of the leading international financial centres (IFCs) of the world. Since China began its economic reform and open-door policies in 1979, and since cross-strait economic contacts began to improve in the mid-1980s, Hong Kong's role has also become more varied and multi-faceted. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate Hong Kong as an IFC of Greater China (which comprises Mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau). The territory's prospects as an IFC after its retrocession to China on July 1, 1997 will also be discussed.

The Casey Standard For Evaluating Facial Attacks On Abortion Statutes, John Christopher Ford

Michigan Law Review

Since the Supreme Court declared in 1973 that the Constitution grants women a limited right to an abortion, the Justices have decided abortion cases with reference to such weighty matters as religious freedom, the disadvantaged position of women in society, and the proper role of the judiciary. Understandably, the Supreme Court's writings on abortion deal extensively with these large themes. The Court, and certainly others, view abortion cases as rivaling Brown v. Board of Education in their importance to the nation. While the Court has focused on the big issues, however, it has neglected an equally important, if less emotionally …
