Sudden death in angiodysplasia of the gastroesophageal junction.

A 22-year-old Korean soldier, who had received blows to the neck and epigastrium from an officer 10 h earlier, suddenly died after massive hematemesis. He had been in relatively good health except for episodes of blood-tinged vomiting approximately 5 and 7 months prior to this event. Postmortem examination revealed angiodysplasia involving the gastroesophageal junction, and the stomach was distended with blood. No abnormal findings were present around the whole viscera, and the duodenum was free of blood. The pathologic significance of upper gastrointestinal angiodysplasia as a potential source of bleeding and a chronologic correlation between the trauma and bleeding are discussed.     

The use of either the nose or outer ear as a means of determining the postmortem period of a human corpse.

Presented in this paper are the initial results involving the use of the nose or outer ear as temperature measurement sites to determine the postmortem period of the human corpse. Simple mathematical models for both sites are developed based on cooling curves of five corpses. Analysis of errors between actual and calculated postmortem intervals suggest that in its present form, the described methods would not be suitable for use in accurately determining the time since death of human corpses.     

苏联解体的原因与后果

1991年12月8日俄罗斯领导人Б.Н.叶利钦、乌克兰领导人Л.М.克拉夫丘克和白俄罗斯领导人С.С.舒什克维奇签署了别洛韦日协议,导致了苏联的解体;苏联解体是20世纪世界史上最重大的历史事件之一,这大概是大多数历史学家和政治学家对此的一致评价,而其他所有有关苏联解体的原因、后果等问题则一直是激烈争论的对象。     

论警察权的属性

警察权的属性是行政法学界、法理学界的一个难点问题。虽然已有的理论都在一定层面上对之进行了揭示,但应当说已有的研究并不“妨碍”我们作新的尝试性探讨——特别是当前我国《治安处罚法》的出台,更是为我们探讨这个问题提供了一个很好的参照。经过分析,我们发现,作为一种重要的行政执法权,警察权具有积极性、扩张性和谦抑性三个重要属性。

职务犯罪的主体初探

党的十五大指出:“反对腐败是关系党和国家生死存亡的严重政治斗争”。从本质上看,腐败是公共权力因非公共性运用而丧失公共性质的情况下产生的。腐败现象是一种外延很广的社会现象,有些属于违反职业道德和纪律的行为,更多的属于违法犯罪行为,而职务犯罪就是腐败行为中最极端的表现,是社会中特定人员利用职务和职权的便     

The Influence of Advisers and Decision Strategies on Foreign Policy Choices: President Clinton's Decision to Use Force in Kosovo

In the following paper, I analyze the influence of advisers and domestic political factors on President Clinton's decision to use force against Slobodan Milosevic and the Serbs in Kosovo in March 1999. I present an analysis and examination of President Clinton's decision-making process, using press reports, personal speeches, etc. In other words, I attempt to trace the process by which Clinton came to the decision to use force in Yugoslavia. Specifically, using the poliheuristic theory, I argue that President Clinton's decision was influenced by noncompensatory domestic political calculations and the strong influence of his Secretary of State, Madeleine K. Albright. Examining how advisers interact with one another, their status in the advisory group, and the manner in which presidents solicit information from advisers will further our understanding of how, when, and under what conditions national security-level decision makers make decisions.     

鲁迅与张爱玲小说中女性形象比较

从时间意义上讲,鲁迅和张爱玲的小说创作,大体处在中国现代小说创作的开始和结束阶段。对照各自小说中女性形象,探讨这两位作家在关注女性日常生活中的悲剧的相同点,及某些女性形象在一定程度上的“互文”现象;同时,在“女性存在的时间性”、“女性的内审意识”、“女性的自我意识”方面比较他们笔下女性形象的不同,以及不同点背后的原因。
