Stature estimation using foot dimensions via 3D scanning in Taiwanese male adults

In forensic identification, the use of foot dimensions to predict stature is a requisite. For Taiwanese male stature prediction, available information about stature estimation using foot dimensions is still lacking. Therefore, the primary purpose of this study was to establish Taiwanese adult male stature prediction models for various foot dimensions. A total of 2,072 male 3D foot models were collected and the subjects' ages ranged from 18 to 59 years old. Thirteen foot dimensions for each foot were utilized in this study. Bilateral differences were tested using paired t-tests. Stature predictions based on different foot dimensions were conducted using simple linear and stepwise regression methods. The results showed significant bilateral differences in the majority of the selected foot dimensions (p < 0.001). Foot length had the highest positive correlation with stature in the right and left foot. Using length-related dimensions generated better prediction accuracy (0.356 < R² < 0.533, 4.193 < SEE < 4.928), whereas the worst accuracy was observed with angle-related dimensions (0.001 < R² < 0.023; 6.072 < SEE < 6.137) when employing a single foot dimension to estimate Taiwanese male stature. Stepwise regression analysis results indicated that the coefficient of determination was improved to 0.590 and 0.593 by applying five and six foot parameters to predict stature, respectively. The findings of the present study suggest that these stature estimation equations can be applied to predict Taiwanese male stature in the forensic science field.     

工业4.0背景下德国应对3D打印技术的法政策学分析——兼论我国对3D打印技术的法政策路径选择

3D打印技术作为工业4.0中实现"智能生产"和"智能工厂"的方式,是促进我国制造业转型的重要路径。通过对德国政府应对3D打印技术发展所制订的科技政策和法律政策的分析,欲促进我国3D打印技术快速发展,提升我国3D打印产业的国际竞争力,首先,应通过制定和完善与3D打印有关的科技政策,引导科研资源和资本向3D打印产业分流;其次,应通过对现行相关法律的解释、归纳和演绎,寻求应对3D打印技术发展的法律适用的空间;此外,在政策的制定与法律适用的过程中,需要选择符合我国国情的3D打印技术保护标准和创新发展之路径。

公诉案件被害人当事人制度研究——以德国附带诉讼制度为参考

我国《刑事诉讼法》将被害人确立为公诉案件当事人,被害人与人民检察院作为“共同原告”履行控诉职能,这在理论和实践中都暴露出许多问题。德国附带诉讼制度允许被害人作为附带诉讼的原告人而非公诉案件本身的当事人参加公诉,具有合理性。借鉴德国的做法,我国应增设刑事第三人制度,让被害人作为刑事第三人参加诉讼,并赋予其相应的诉讼权利,从而有效解决被害人在公诉案件中参诉问题。     

Strafbarer untauglicher Betrugsversuch

Absolut untauglich im Sinn des § 15 Abs 3 StGB ist ein Versuch nur dann, wenn die Verwirklichung des durch die Tathandlung angestrebten sch?digenden Erfolges auf die vorgesehene Art bei generalisierender Betrachtung, somit losgel?st von den Besonderheiten des Einzelfalles, aus der ex-ante-Sicht eines über den Tatplan informierten verst?ndigen Beobachters geradezu ausgeschlossen erscheint und demzufolge unter keinen wie immer gearteten Umst?nden erwartet werden kann. Dementsprechend liegt ein blo? relativ untauglicher und daher strafbarer Betrugsversuch vor, wenn der Beschuldigte einen Liegenschaftseigentümer durch T?uschung über seine Zahlungswilligkeit und -f?higkeit zur notariellen Unterfertigung eines Kaufvertrages über die Liegenschaft veranlasst, nach der vorgesehenen Treuhandabwicklung die Intabulation des Eigentumsrechts aber erst nach Bezahlung des Kaufpreises erfolgen soll.     

Political accountability,fiscal conditions and local government performance—cross‐sectional evidence from Indonesia

Why are some local governments more successful than others in managing resources and delivering services? And even more vitally, how can malfunctioning governments be reformed so that they perform their responsibilities more effectively? This article contributes to our understanding of theses overarching questions by exploring the interactions between political institutions and public sector performance in the context of decentralisation and local governance. It shows–both theoretically and empirically–that performance outcomes are determined by the extent to which people can hold their governments accountable through political institutions. The basic hypothesis underlying this research is that political accountability, either by encouraging sanctions upon non‐compliant public agents or simply by reducing the informational gap regarding government activities, will create forceful incentives for elected officials and civil servants to reduce opportunistic behaviour and improve performance. Using a cross‐sectional regression the hypothesis is empirically tested against evidence from newly empowered local governments in Indonesia. The empirical findings broadly support our hypotheses. Improved public services on the ground, both in terms of quantity and quality, require informed and well functioning decision‐making processes that allocate resources to priority areas that meet the demand of the broader community.
