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.     

行动者“漏斗效应”:党内法规执行问题的解释框架

党内法规能否执行到位,关系到党要管党、全面从严治党的重大战略部署,关系到良好政治生态的形成和党的长期执政能力建设等重要议题。究竟是哪些因素影响党内法规的有效执行,本研究选择《中国共产党巡视工作条例》《干部教育培训工作条例》《中共中央关于加强社会主义协商民主建设的意见》在T省的执行案例作为研究对象,遵循扎根理论的研究逻辑,直接从经验材料入手,不断归纳、对比和提炼,提出"行动者‘漏斗效应’"的解释框架。党内法规执行的行动者受认知共同体、制度协同性、激励与约束与行动者知识的因素制约,呈现层层失守的执行损耗。     

法治视阈下基层社会矛盾的多元善治

全面深化改革进入深水区遭遇社会转型期,历史积累的问题与改革发展的问题交织,复杂多样的社会矛盾不断涌现,尤在基层社会凸显。从根源上看,基层社会矛盾仍属人民内部矛盾,多为民众的利益诉求而非政治诉求。重构基层社会矛盾治理路径,规制各方行为,维护好群众合理合法权益,是为基层社会矛盾治理之首要任务。新形势下,应以法治思维为指引,以社会主义核心价值观为依归,培育社会组织,强化社会组织和基层部门行为以及完善基层社会自治的法治规制,从而构建多元解纷的法治机制,达成涵摄“多元、共享、参与、合作、宽容”等包容性治理元素的基层社会矛盾多元善治,从而化解社会风险,维护公正、安宁、和谐的社会秩序。     

相对集中行政处罚权：立法模式与制度创新

相对集中行政处罚权实践是我国行政管理体制的创新举措,已经取得了较明显的效果。但目前囿于立法层次较低,且各地规范不一,极大地阻碍了这一新生事物的进一步成长。因此我们应在统一立法和系统全面立法的基础上,尽快制定一部法律或行政法规系统规范该制度。同时加强诸如表明身份制度、说明理由制度、阅卷制度、时效制度、格式化制度、职能分离制度、案卷排他性制度等研究,以丰富和完善该处罚权的实践。     

对犯罪市场的几点认识

任何事物都有其特殊的一面,犯罪市场也不例外。本文运用经济学和犯罪学知识对犯罪市场的客体、主体、交换、供求关系、存在形式等方面进行分析,有助于我们把握犯罪市场的特殊性,从新视角认识犯罪行为,进而制定合理、有效的防治犯罪对策。     

文化建设的法治之路

和谐社会的文化建设过程,必然是法治之路,需要法的理性之治。法的理性之治,是民主政治国家的最高追求。文化建设的理性与法治的理性具有同一性。在现时期,加快建设文化大省,推进“法治浙江”建设,必须树立法治理性的观念,运用富于理性又切合国情省情的法治手段,推动文化建设切实走上法治之路。     

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.     

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.     

冷战时期台湾与苏联秘密交往始末

20世纪60年代初,中苏两党关系恶化。1968年起,中苏边境紧张气氛增加,冲突规模明显增大。“文革”爆发后,台湾当局认为是反攻大陆的“天赐良机”。但是美国对此避而不谈,还有意冷落台湾当局。台湾当局企图寻求新的盟友,苏联也希望借台湾来牵制大陆。在这种背景下,台湾与苏联开始了秘密接触。投石问路1968年10月11日,在东京的一个俱乐部里,名叫维克托·路易斯的英国《伦敦晚报》记者,见到了台湾驻日本“大使馆”新闻参赞卢为,要求访问台湾。但是路易斯持的是苏联护照,卢为鉴于其身份敏感,不敢做主,报告了台湾“驻日大使”陈之迈。陈之迈指示卢…     

我国物权立法中规定集体所有权的思考

正在讨论中的《物权法》(草案)对集体所有权作了规定,奠定了集体所有权立法的基础,但其距离集体财产关系的法律调整要求还有很大差距,各个条文自身仍存在着一定的缺陷。在《物权法》中应对集体所有权作一般原则规定,集体所有的具体制度应由专门法律规定。
