The Constitutional Analysis of Human Rights Legislative Protection

The paths for applying the international human rights conventions in China should be recognized as follows: On the premise of respecting the Constitution of China, systematic human rights which could coordinate the relationship between the Constitution of China and international human rights conventions. The source of the human rights legislation obligations of the legislative organs of China is the Constitution of China, not the international human rights conventions. The legislature should understand and grasp the main contents of the human rights legislation obligations of the legislature according to Paragraph 3 of Article 33 of the Constitution while the interpretation of this clause must be based on the relevant provisions of the international human rights conventions. Human rights legislative obligations of the legislature can be classified into two types: legislative protecting obligations and legislative relief obligations of human rights. The NPC and its Standing Committee should be structurally responsible for the human rights legislation obligation, and the State Council and other organs of the State not for the legislation protection of human rights. A special human rights law should be enacted by the NPC.

Correlation between tobacco and alcohol use and Traditional Chinese Medicine constitutions: an analysis based on a sample from general population of China

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the relationship between smoking and drinking and constitution types from Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)theory.METHODS:The Constitution in Chinese Medicine Questionnaire(CCMQ)was used.A sample of 8448subjects from nine provinces and municipalities was chosen from the database of the TCM constitution and health status survey.Constituent ratio and correspondence analysis were used to find the relationship between smoking and drinking and TCM constitution.RESULTS:There was an association between smokinganddrinkingandtheGentleness,phlegm-dampness,and dampness-heat type constitutions.People that did not smoke tobacco or drink alcohol tended to have Yang-deficiency,Yin-deficiency,Qi-depression,Qi-deficiency,special diathesis,orblood-stasis type constitutions.CONCLUSION:There was a significant correlation between tobacco and alcohol use and TCM constitutions.To improve patient health,more attention should be paid to tobacco and alcohol control.

Effect of thermo-mechanical processing parameters on the dynamic restoration mechanism in an Mg-4Y-2Nd-1Sm-0.5Zr alloy during hot compression

Microstructure evolution and dynamic restoration mechanism of solution-treated Mg-4Y-2Nd-1Sm-0.5Zr alloy have been studied under three TMP parameters consisting of deformation temperatures(350-500℃),strain rates(0.01-5 s^(-1)),and strains(0.2,0.4,and 0.8).A strong dynamic softening is observed in all stress-strain curves,even at higher strain rates(1 and 5 s^(-1))due to an adiabatic heating effect.Various stress-strain curves are applied to construct a processing map and develop an Arrhenius-type constitutive equation.With the prediction of the processing map,an optimal processing domain has been determined to be the temperature range 450-500℃and strain rate range 0.01-0.1 s^(-1)at a strain of 0.8.The volume fraction of DRX grains is the largest in the corresponding domain of high temperature and low strain rate.For the effect of TMP parameters on the dynamic restoration,the discontinuous dynamic recrystallization(DDRX)and continuous DRX(CDRX)synergistic effect occur throughout the whole process at high temperature and high strain rate.In terms of high temperature and low strain rate,DDRX characteristics at a low strain and then the DDRX+CDRX synergistic effect is observed at a higher strain.Although the DRX process is weak at low temperature and low strain rate,deformation twins have occurred and provided nucleation sites for DRX grains.
