Normative Effect of Fine Family Values Clauses in the Marriage and Family Section of China's Civil Code

The fine family values incorporated into China's Civil Code can effectively resolve the contradiction between the Marriage and Family Law's specific socialization requirements and the relatively insufficient socialization theypresent after they have been incorporated into the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China.The fine family values clauses can reflect the ethics of Marriage and Family Law by introducing the family's subject position in identity law,by specifying the scope and source of public order for judging behavior legitimacy in family relations,and by checking and balancing the tendency of turning Marriage and Family Law into Property Law.The clauses'normative effect includes the organizational effect aimed at regulating family power,social power and state power,and the advisory effect for promoting moral education.However,its core lies in its behavior normative effect for guiding the judicial process and its adjudicative normative effect.In terms of specific application,we should focus on realizing the normative function of the fine family values clauses.This function includes proving the relationship between a guardian's“lack of control and education”and external damage caused by family members,balancing family stability and personal freedom value,1limiting seeking improper property interests by means of identity behavior and creating independent legal interests.

Assessment of natural regeneration status and diversity of tree species in the biodiversity conservation areas of Northeastern Bangladesh

A study was conducted at two-biodivcrsity conservation areas of Northeastern Bangladesh （a part of Sylhet Forest Division） to assess the species composition, diversity and density of natural regeneration of tree species both indigenous and exotic species. Data were collected by stratified random quadrate method during January 2010 to July 2010. Totally 200 circular plots of 2 m〉〈2 m in size had 5 different habitat types of plants namely; forest, roadside, homestead （surrounding forest dwellers house）, fallow land and others （canals, streams and tea gardens side）, which included a total of 55 regenerating species belonging to 28 families. Meliaceae is the dominant family and shows the highest family importance value （26.3）, having six species, followed by Moraeeae （24.24）. Among the five habitat types, forest （43 species） possess the highes number of species, followed by roadside （23 species）. Total 15 exotic species among 9 families and 40 indigenous species with 24 families were recorded. For exotic species, Tectona grandis possess the highest relative density （11.7%） and relative frequency （10.5%）; Senna siamea had highest relative abundance （7.83%）. In case of indigenous species, Chickrassia tabularis possess the highest relative density （4.23%） and relative frequency （4%）; Dipterocarpus turbinatus bad the highest relative abundance （3.92%）. Tectona grandis （29.66） and Chickrassia tabularis （10.8） had the highest IVI for exotic and indigenous species respectively. Different diversity indic＇es such as Shanon-Winner diversity index,＇ species diversity index, species richness index, species evenness index, Simpson index and species dominance index, etc. were applied to quantify definite diversity. The regeneration of species associated with low levelsof disturbance was in the exotic Species. Study suggests that proper protection from human disturbances and scientific management of natural regeneration of two-study forests may lead a rich biodiversity site in the country.
