A comparison between direct and indirect methods available for human bite mark analysis

Comparison techniques used in bite mark analysis are many and varied, the choice of technique depending largely on personal preference. Until recently, no one technique has been shown to be better than the others, and very little research has been carried out to compare different methods. This study evaluates and compares the accuracy of direct comparisons between suspects' models and bite marks with indirect comparisons in the form of conventional traced overlays of suspects' models or a new method using photocopier-generated overlays. Artificial bite marks in pigskin were made using standardized sets of models and recorded as photographs and fingerprint powder lifts on tape. The bite mark photographs and fingerprint lifts were coded and randomized so that a blind comparison could be made with the models, traced overlays, and photocopier-generated overlays using a modified version of the American Board of Forensic Odontology Scoring (ABFO) System for Bite Marks. It was found that the photocopier-generated overlays were significantly more accurate at matching the correct bite mark to the correct models irrespective of whether the bite mark was recorded photographically or as a fingerprint lift. The photocopier-generated overlays were also found to be more sensitive at matching the correct bite marks to the correct models than the other two methods used. The modified ABFO scoring system was able to discriminate between a correct match and several incorrect matches by awarding a high score to the correct match.     

Allele frequencies and genetic data of 16 highly polymorphic loci in Koreans

Allele and genotype frequencies for the 15 STR loci (FGA, vWA, MBP-L, MBP-H, HumTh01, D3S1358, D3S2406, D5S818, D7S820, D8S1179, D13S317, D18S51, D19S253, and D21S11) and two VNTR loci (D1S80 and D17S5) in a sample of unrelated Koreans were determined.     

独联体与俄联邦标准概况

独联体或俄联邦的标准,就是经独联体或俄联邦的标准化机构批准的规范性文件。现行有效的独联体跨国标准都是逐步由前苏联标准转化而来,还有一部分是由国际标准"修改"后转化的标准。俄联邦的国家标准是俄罗斯联邦标准化委员会制订的标准。大体上有10000多件标准。     

现代诉讼的法理性透视

现代社会的诉讼制度设计根据社会冲突的性质可主要划分为三种类型。即民事诉讼制度、刑事诉讼制度和行政诉讼制度。这三大诉讼在程序设计上有着共通的法理 ,即公正与衡平。文章从程序结构法理以及程序运作法理这两个方面对此进行了论述。随后 ,本文通过对诉讼中引入“合意机制”的思考 ,对现代诉讼的价值导向进行了反思 ,指出弘扬个体自治的深远意义。

泰国东部经济走廊发展规划

根据国家总体发展战略,泰国政府推出"东部经济走廊"发展规划,作为实现总体发展战略的重大战略举措。东部经济走廊旨在建成泰国产业升级的区域平台,以带动泰国整个产业结构调整,促进泰国社会经济的发展和提升国家工业化水平。东部经济走廊的区位优势、投资环境和优惠政策为正在响应"一带一路"倡议的中国企业提供了良好的合作机遇。这将成为中泰经济合作的新亮点。     

基于多媒体网络的大学英语教学评估模式架构

目前在我国强调多媒体网络学习的大学英语教学改革中,实施客观、有效的评估模式至关重要。然而,大学英语教学评估研究现状调查、分析表明以测试为主的评估模式已无法适应新的教学模式,成为新一轮大学英语教学改革的瓶颈。因此,从理论层面上建构一种具有评估内容全面化、评估主体多元化、评估过程动态化和评估方法多样化为基本特征的教学评估模式已成为当务之急。     

谈行政文化视域下政府执行力的提升

政府执行力是衡量一级政府管理能力的重要指标,而行政文化则是行政管理的灵魂,潜移默化地影响着政府执行力的发挥。因此,从行政文化的角度出发,分析阻碍政府执行力提升的原因,找出相关对策,建构与之相适应的执行力文化,不仅有利于促进我国行政文化的创新,也是提升政府执行效力的良好途径。
