震撼心灵的一句话

一句话可以让你笑起来,一句话也可以让你跳起来。一句含义深刻、发人深省的话出现得是时候、是地方,就会像一次“爆炸”,震撼人的心灵。在我短短30多年的人生旅途中,就有这样一句话给了我深深的震撼。     

踩踏事件凸显公共安全软肋

11月9～11日，重庆市家乐福超市沙坪坝店推出十周年店庆促销活动。10日推出一款菜油特价促销，原价每桶51．4元的5升桶装菜油只卖39．9元。当天早晨4时左右，就有大量市民前往排队等候。上午8时40分超市开门营业时，市民们已在店外排成了数十米长龙。随着人流的涌入，家乐福东门入口处因群众滑倒而引发踩踏事故，共造成3人死亡、31人受伤入院（其中7人重伤）。     

Of earprints, fingerprints, scent dogs, cot deaths and cognitive contamination--a brief look at the present state of play in the forensic arena

Over the last decades, the importance of technical and scientific evidence for the criminal justice system has been steadily increasing. Unfortunately, the weight of forensic evidence is not always easy for the trier of fact to assess, as appears from a brief discussion of some recent cases in which the weight of expert evidence was either grossly over- or understated. Also, in recent years, questions surrounding the value of forensic evidence have played a major role in the appeal and revision stages of a number of highly publicized criminal cases in several countries, including the UK and the Netherlands. Some of the present confusion is caused by the different ways in which conclusions are formulated by experts working within the traditional approach to forensic identification, as exemplified by (1) dactyloscopy and (2) the other traditional forensic identification disciplines like handwriting analysis, firearms analysis and fibre analysis, as opposed to those working within the modern scientific approach used in forensic DNA analysis. Though most clearly expressed in the way conclusions are formulated within the diverse fields, these differences essentially reflect the scientific paradigms underlying the various identification disciplines. The types of conclusions typically formulated by practitioners of the traditional identification disciplines are seen to be directly related to the two major principles underpinning traditional identification science, i.e. the uniqueness assumption and the individualization principle. The latter of these is shown to be particularly problematic, especially when carried to its extreme, as embodied in the positivity doctrine, which is almost universally embraced by the dactyloscopy profession and allows categorical identification only. Apart from issues arising out of the interpretation of otherwise valid expert evidence there is growing concern over the validity and reliability of the expert evidence submitted to courts. While in various countries including the USA, Canada and the Netherlands criteria have been introduced which may be used as a form of input or output control on expert evidence, in England and Wales expert evidence is much less likely to be subject to forms of admissibility or reliability testing. Finally, a number of measures are proposed which may go some way to address some of the present concerns over the evaluation of technical and scientific evidence.     

印度洋海啸：大灾过后 百废待兴

2004年岁末发生的历史罕见的大海啸,给印度洋地区带来了空前的大劫难.由于缺乏有效的预警机制等原因,这场灾害给有关国家造成了重大的人员和财产损失.截至1月25日,印尼官方宣布:印度洋海啸中总遇难者和失踪者人数可能已超过28万人.印尼卫生部于当日同时宣称:印尼在印度洋海啸中遇难和失踪者人数已达228249人,其中96232人在海啸中死亡并已被掩埋,另有132197人失踪.

搭乘公交车时,你坐的位置安全吗?

想象你在一辆拥挤的公交车上,能遇到的麻烦究竟有多少:没带零钱、没有座位、失窃、交通意外……在公交车上,最频繁发生的致命事故就是火灾。无论是公交车自燃,还是人为纵火。值得庆幸的是,如果发生地震,在公交车里比在楼房里要安全得多,除非它正好开到一座立交桥上。2011年底,一张题为公交车安全位置报告的示意图在微博上疯传。
