Validation studies of the ParaDNA® Intelligence System with artificial evidence items

Short tandem repeat (STR) profiling is one of the mostly used systems for forensic applications. In certain circumstances, STR profiling is time-consuming and costly, which potentially leads to delays in criminal investigations. LGC (Laboratory of the Government Chemist, UK) Forensics has developed a robust STR profiling platform called the ParaDNA^® Intelligence Test System which can provide early tactical intelligence and aid investigators in making informed decisions on sample prioritization for detection. Here, we validated the ParaDNA intelligence test for its application in forensic cases using a range of mock evidence items following guidelines set by the Scientific Working Group on DNA Analysis Methods (SWGDAM). Specifically, we tested the sensitivity and accuracy of the ParaDNA intelligence test, as well as the success rates for detecting mock samples and for use in case scenarios. Our findings demonstrate that the ParaDNA intelligence test generates useful DNA profiles, especially for samples such as blood, saliva, and semen that contain ample DNA, indicating the benefits of including ParaDNA as a prior step in forensic STR profiling pipelines.     

企业工资分配的国家干预

国家对工资的干预不仅是劳动者权益保护的需要,也是国家维护自身权益的需要.共同利益的存在使得劳动者与用人单位之间有了良好合作、相互理解与利益协调的可能,这是国家干预企业工资分配不应该忽略的社会现实.在劳动力市场供大于求的前提下,劳动者个人与企业进行工资协商往往处于弱势地位,这就需要国家对企业劳动者的工资分配进行干预.国家对企业工资分配的干预可以分为直接干预和间接干预.国家立法对工资的构成、具体范围和底线标准进行规范是可行和合理的.

前瞻型政府:公共危机治理的政府模式选择

有效治理公共危机要求实现政府模式转型,建立前瞻型政府。前瞻型政府是坚持以民为本的民本政府,是坚持责任取向的责任政府,是崇尚为民服务的服务政府,是不断自我完善的创新政府。有效治理公共危机,构建前瞻型政府,必须培养政府及其官员的预见意识和前瞻能力,必须转变政府职能,整合政府机构,必须完善政府部门间的联动机制,必须健全公共危机的预警机制。     

论新媒体技术环境中的马克思主义传播创新

马克思主义在中国的传播历程，是马克思主义在中国从接受、创新到发展的过程，是马克思主义基于中国实际不断调整与优化的过程，是马克思主义中国化的过程。新媒体技术的诞生和发展，为马克思主义的传播提供了新的平台与渠道。传播信息与传播环境的互动，使马克思主义中国化、时代化和大众化在传播学上得以充分体现。新媒体技术的传播功能、新媒体时代的内容生产方式以及新媒体的传播渠道重构，赋予马克思主义传播以新的路径选择。传统媒体与新媒体的对接、融合、互动与创新，将推进马克思主义“三化”的进一步丰富和发展。

携带凶器盗窃的刑法解析——对《刑法修正案（八）》的解读

《刑法修正案（八）》中新增了携带凶器盗窃按基本刑档处罚的条款。立法的规范目的在保障人权与保护法益中显然更为注重后者,即在侵害财产之外,因携带凶器盗窃可能对人身权利造成侵害,而将其独立规定为一种盗窃罪的特殊形态,但不能因它对人身造成的侵害危险,而将其认定为危险犯。携带凶器盗窃属于行为犯,依然是对财产的犯罪。应当在行为犯的框架下,判断携带凶器盗窃的未遂形态,并严格界定携带凶器盗窃与携带凶器抢夺的法条关系。
