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.     

智能互联网的法律风险及其立法应对

智能互联网技术的快速发展和应用带来了诸多变革,虚拟社会、人机互动、算法规则使得现行法律制度面临一系列风险和挑战:法律价值上,传统法律正义观难以衡量一些抉择;法律关系上,既有的法律规范无法涵盖和调整一些新权益;法律适用上,司法制度遭遇障碍,等等.出现这些挑战的症结在于现行法律的过度滞后,除了法律天然的滞后性,保守的立法原则和繁复的立法程序也是重要影响因素.因此,有必要确立立法的适度超前原则,探索网络技术标准法律化,促进网络立法智能化,制定网络"基本法",建立适合智能互联网时代的网络法律体系.     

论和谐社会的哲学基础

马克思主义的辩证唯物主义和历史唯物主义作为时代精神的精华,是和谐社会重要的哲学基础。马克思主义的主体观、系统观、矛盾观、利益观为我们构建和谐社会提供了科学的世界观和方法论。     

李步云与当代中国法哲学

李步云既是当代中国颇有成就的法理学家和宪法学家 ,又是“新时期”最早“自觉”到“法哲学”的法学家。他是从当代中国法理学和宪法学的“局限性”意识出发 ,而提出其法哲学主张的 ,其法哲学体系是围绕法的唯物论与认识论、法的辩证法与发展观而构筑并加以逻辑展开的 ,是对法理学问题的既深入又超出。为中国法理学研究提供基础、方向和标准 ,是李步云法哲学研究的根本目的所在     

我国原产地名称立法——略谈与TRIPS协议的衔接问题

随着我国加入TWO,我国有关的知识产权法律制度须达到Trips协议的最低保护要求,原产地名称是Trips协议明确保护的知识产权客体,在当今国际贸易实践中具有重要意义,而我国对此尚无细致而明确的法律规定。为了更全面地与Trips协调一致,保护民族产业,拓展国际贸易市场,原产地名称保护的立法亟待健全与完善。     

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.     

论和谐社会视野下的政府职能体系

中国大陆和平发展与朝鲜半岛形势

朝鲜半岛对中国大陆安全与发展的重要性,主要体现在它是中国边境安全的缓冲地带、进行反帝斗争的前沿地带和经济发展的支持地带。中国大陆在朝鲜半岛所扮演的角色因而具有多样性。在六方会谈中,中国大陆使南北韩均对其相当倚重;在六方会谈议题上,中国大陆五项不变的基本主张符合南韩甚至北韩利益,但这将使六方会谈变得旷日持久。中国大陆与南北韩之间也存在着历史遗产、现实政治和经济竞争方面的争执。未来中国大陆仍会利用地缘之便在朝鲜半岛拓展外交,而南韩也希望两韩和解在其仲裁下继续前进;在经济上,中国对两韩的影响力也将逐步加大。
