Postmortem Computed Tomography in Firearm Homicides: A Retrospective Case Series,

Postmortem computed tomography (PMCT) is integrated into the evaluation of decedents in several American medical examiner offices and medicolegal death investigative centers in many other countries. We retrospectively investigated the value of PMCT in a series of firearm homicide cases from a statewide centralized medical examiner’s office that occurred during 2016. Autopsies were performed or supervised by board-certified forensic pathologists who reviewed the PMCT scans prior to autopsy. PMCT scans were re-evaluated by a forensic radiologist blinded to the autopsy findings and scored by body region (head–neck, thoracoabdominal, and extremities). Injury discrepancies were scored using a modified Goldman classification and analyzed with McNemar’s test. We included 60 males and 20 females (median age 31 years, range 3–73). Based on PMCT, 56 (79.1%) cases had injuries relevant to the cause of death in a single body region (24 head–neck region, 32 thoracoabdominal region). Out of these 56 cases, 9 had a missed major diagnosis by PMCT outside that region, including 6 extremity injuries visible during standard external examination. Yet all had evident lethal firearm injury. We showed that PMCT identifies major firearm injuries in homicide victims and excludes injuries related to the cause of death in other regions when a single body region is injured. Although PMCT has a known limited sensitivity for soft tissue and vascular pathology, it can be combined with external examination to potentially reduce or focus dissections in some of these cases depending on the circumstances and medicolegal needs.     

代位析产纠纷中若干问题的探讨

本文从代位析产制度的属性,以及现行法所采取的诉讼模型出发,分析该制度与分家析产、共有物分割、债权人代位权三类诉讼的联系与差异,并就该类诉讼是否以查封共有财产为前提、管辖法院如何确定、被执行人的诉讼地位如何确定、涉及的可分共有关系包括哪些、代位析产中共有财产的范围如何确定、被执行人或轮候查封的申请执行人能否提起此类诉讼,有其他可供执行财产时能否提起此类诉讼、共有人达成共有物分割协议的,法院又应如何处理等诸多实践中的争议问题进行了分析,并提供了解决方案。     

浅议《合同法》框架下的智能合约适用问题

智能合约是运行在区块链上能够自动履行合同义务的新型合同,因其具备"自动履行"和"去中心化"等优势,故可降低合同履行成本、提高合同运行效率,但也导致了智能合约难以直接适用现行合同制度的订立规则、生效要件和救济方式等问题。本文从理论角度分析了智能合约的运行过程,通过对合同法理论的解释使智能合约与合同制度相契合;从技术角度分析了智能合约的原理与架构,利用技术手段对其进行修正,使智能合约符合《合同法》的规定。

从东西法学文化的融合谈要约的法律性质

大陆法系以民事法律关系为核心的民法理论体系在中国业已形成 ,诸多英美法系的概念在合同法的立法过程中又被吸收到中国来 ,要约便是其中之一。这两者如何融合 ,使民法理论体系得以理顺 ,不但有理论意义 ,而且颇具现实意义。把要约定性为民事法律行为 ,可以使许多问题迎刃而解。     

Acute myoglobinuria as a fatal complication of heroin addiction

A fatal case of myoglobinuria complicating heroin addiction is described. Clinically the patient had no overt symptoms of rhabdomyolysis. Pathologists should be alerted to this rare complication in heroin addicts who die of no apparent cause. The antimyoglobin immunoperoxidase technique is useful in confirming the diagnosis.     

试论被害人与加害人的相互作用及其角色转换

在犯罪过程中 ,虽然加害人是行为的主体 ,被害人是行为的客体 ,但是主客体之间的关系总是处于不断发展和变化之中 ,这种相互作用贯穿于犯罪的全过程。同时 ,加害人与被害人之间在一定条件下也会发生位移和角色转换。     

世纪之交资本主义的新变化及其对科学社会主义提出的新挑战

经过第二次世界大战后半个多世纪的发展,西方资本主义在第三次科技革命和东西方两大阵营的对峙及东方社会主义阵营解体的背景下,进入了新的发展阶段。尽管学界对这个新的阶段的认识还不尽统一,有的称之为社会资本主义阶段,有的称为国家垄断资本主义阶段,但它所出现的一系列最新情况和变化确是有目共睹的,主要体现在资本主义的生产力、生产关系、社会上层建筑和全球化四个方面。世纪之交资本主义世界的新变化对科学社会主义提出了一系列严峻的、无法回避的新问题和新挑战,需要我们对传统的马克思列宁主义关于资本主义和社会主义的理论,以及面对新世纪的社会主义实践作再认识、再探索、再更新、再发展,使之真正体现出与时俱进的科学和时代精神。     

Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of forensic science casework in the People's Republic of China.

Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis for the purpose of individualization is now being used in casework in the People's Republic of China. This report describes the use of the multilocus minisatellite probe 33.15 to solve three cases, including two homicides and a rape. In the third case, fetal tissue was analyzed to prove that the alleged rapist was, in fact, the father. In each case, analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) resulted in a positive match. The probability of chance association of the DNA fingerprint was calculated as 5.6 x 10(-12), which is similar to the figures reported in the literature.
