康德批判哲学与德国18、19世纪之交的法学科学化尝试

康德批判哲学带来的认识论革命颠覆了理性自然法传统。经验性的实证法独立于自然法,而自然法变成先天的形式原则,独立的实证法学进而成为可能。“体系”第一次成为“科学”的内在品质,“体系”不再是符合教学目的的外在秩序,而是代表着科学知识的内在关联。由此,康德批判哲学在认识论层面为彼时的法学科学化讨论指明了方向——“实证性”与“体系性”,并传达出充满先验色彩的“过渡性科学”理念。在法学历史主义同时兴起的背景下,作为康德主义者的费尔巴哈、胡果,分别提出了内涵各异的“历史”“哲学”方法。前者试图实现康德的“过渡性科学”理念,主张实证法统一于自然法的先天的形式框架之中,并形成先验的体系。后者将作为法哲学的自然法演绎为法人类学,使实证法学完全脱离形而上学,但缺乏对法学的“体系性”关注。尽管如此,这些以康德批判哲学为认识基础的科学化尝试进一步构成了萨维尼以来的实证法律科学乃至法学形式主义的方法论基础。

Cultural Presence of the Cretan Biodiversity in the Minoan Period and nowadays： A Discovery School Teaching Approach

The educational project prepared for students of High School 15-17 years old with the subject of Biodiversity in Minoan Period and Nowadays. It was an interdisciplinary approach of ecological and cultural views of biodiversity. Special educational material was prepared with photos and texts of archaeological excavations and field sampling which was used in real and virtual environment, in t~ discovery teaching of Natural Sciences and History subjects. Students, in a scientific research project with constructive teachings, followed the procedures by which scientists gather, analyze, synthesize, process and evaluate information of organisms of Crete since 4000 years. Crete is located between the natural limits of three continents, having the unique privilege to host permanently or in migration, distinctive species of these three continents. After having the research questions, teachers collected the educational material, organized the work groups, implemented the didactic intervention in the classroom, had the field sampling of plants, recognized the synchronous local and scientific names of the plants, constructed the botany book, photographed the collected organisms and all the concentrated material was delivered to the team members.

The Relevance of Vygotsky＇s Developmental Perspective to the Debate on Methodology in Psychological Science

Throughout his work, Lev S. Vygotsky （1896-1934） pursued the objective of reformulating psychological theory. His historical-cultural analysis of the ＂crisis in psychology＂ showed that, beyond contradictions between the two main methodological currents---＂objective/explanatory＂ and ＂subjective/intuitive＂--psychology is primarily influenced by its empirical-sensory foundations. This influence is actually at the origin of the disagreement since it maintains the obligation for the two currents to make reference to empirical-sensory data. Only a general model of the developing human being, assessed by its usefulness, will allow reorienting psychology towards a broader science. This would lead to a general theory of psychology, which could then facilitate the search for tools for an indirect method enabling it to go beyond empiricism.

Controlled Entropy and Gauge Theory in Recycling Condensed Matter by Solar Energy

This article discusses the physical principles to be considered in a thermodynamic engineering solar system running under operational control algorithms designed to minimize entropy rates. The proposed plant is based on scientific foundations established by thermodynamics and classical field theory, and empirical disciplines that deal with properties of chemical elements and with technologies of calorific capture from remote sources. The gauge principle was applied in theoretical formalization as an essential tool in the control background of the entropy rates involved. The industrial system presented was planned to recycle condensed matter within the scope of a solid waste management policy.

New Ideas on Teaching Translation

With the rapid development of the society, some new questions of how to teach translation more scientifically have been put forward to the traditional translation teaching in the new century, which is characterized with high informationization and rapid development of science and technology. This paper aims at a general analysis of the characteristics of the modem society and its impact on translation teaching. Meanwhile, this paper provides the translation teachers with some teaching methods and concepts. Finally, this paper points out that translation teachers must take the characteristcs of the modem society in the new century into consideration, and tries to follow some new ideas when teaching translation so as to adapt to the social changes and achieve the goal of translation teaching in the universities.

The Multi-Disciplined Skills Required of Forensic Accountants

Forensic accountants today are required to possess a number of characteristics and skills that are derived from a range of disciplines. They must be inquisitive, able to delve into motivations, operations and justifications underlying the behavior of white collar criminals. They must be able to simplify technical accounting information and convey it effectively orally and in writing to a court or tribunal; be able to trace information via information technology tools; have an understanding of the adversarial legal system and the rules of evidence. Universities offering forensic accounting courses in various formats are on the increase. The aim of this paper is to investigate the subject areas that any course specializing in forensic accounting needs to cover.

Advances in numerical algorithms and methods in computational geosciences with modeling characteristics of multiple physical and chemical processes

This paper aims to provide a brief introduction to recent advances in numerical algorithms and methods in the emerging computational geoscience filed with general simulation characteristics of modeling multiple chemical and physical processes that take place in ore-generating systems within the Earth's crust. Due to significant differences between Earth systems and engineering systems, the existing numerical algorithms and methods, which are designed for simulating realistic problems in the engineering fields, may not be straightforwardly used to simulate ore-generating problems without significant improvements. Thus, extensive and systematic studies have been conducted, in recent years, to develop new numerical algorithms and methods for simulating different aspects of ore-generating problems. Not only can the outcomes of these studies provide new simulation tools for better understanding the controlled dynamic mechanisms that take place in ore-generating systems, but also they have enriched the research contents of computational mechanics in the broad sense.
