A novel method for cyanide quantification in human whole blood using ion chromatography with amperometric detection and its application to cyanide intoxication cases

Cyanide is a highly toxic agent that has been frequently used for suicide in South Korea. It is also used in various industrial fields, such as metal plating, in which many accidental cyanide intoxications have occurred. To overcome the disadvantages of conventional cyanide analysis methods, a simple and fast method for the analysis of cyanide in whole blood using ion chromatography (IC) with amperometric detection was developed in this study. Whole blood samples were deproteinized, diluted, and analyzed using an IC–amperometric detection system. The limits of detection and quantitation were 0.1 and 0.2 mg/L, respectively. The method showed good linearity in the range of 0.2 to 50 mg/L with R² > 0.99. The intra- and inter-assay precision and accuracy values were <10%. The established method was successfully applied to analyze whole blood samples from three cyanide intoxication cases.     

习近平新时代文明观的理论程式与实践指向——兼驳美国政客的“文明冲突论”

习近平新时代文明观是习近平新时代中国特色社会主义思想的"人类文明篇章"。从文明向度回答了"世界怎么了",批驳了当前以美国为主要代表的文明中心主义,以及全球恐怖主义、民粹主义等野蛮行径,指出人类文明面临主体性下降的共同挑战。从世界视野回答了"我们怎么办",是马克思主义文明观的创新发展,是中华民族文明叙事逻辑的当代延展,堪称全球化历史时代的精神精华。从自身定位回答了"中国如何做",为中国推动文明交流互鉴提供了根本遵循与行动指南。习近平新时代文明观的"出场""在场""现场"既构成了逻辑完备的理论程式,有力驳斥了文明冲突论,又具有鲜明的实践指向,领航中国特色大国外交。

The effects of national cultures on two technologically advanced countries: The case of e-leadership in South Korea and the United States

The increased use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) has triggered enormous innovation in the public sector and created positive public value at the managerial, delivery of services, and policy levels. However, these positive outcomes do not automatically accrue simply by adoption of ICTs as public leaders can fail to adopt relevant new ICTs, use them poorly, or use them in ways that actually diminish public value, which raises the question of the importance of e-leadership. This article examines e-leadership and innovation capacity at the individual public manager level and fills in some gaps about the practice and implementation of ICTs in the public sector. We explore eight research questions useful in theorizing about e-leadership, develop constructs of e-leadership, and describe the current development of e-leadership. By comparing e-leadership in two country settings (South Korea and the United States), we also overcome the limitations of the existing Western-oriented studies about innovations in the public sector. In addition to the growth of e-leadership use and requirements for a variety of competencies equivalent to, but separate from, traditional communication competences, we find that national cultures exert significant influence on the major constructs of e-leadership, which implies that an effective e-leadership strategy should consider cultural contexts seriously.     

Molecular Identification of Necrophagous Dermestes Species in South Korea Using Cytochrome c Oxidase Subunit I Nucleotide Sequences (Genus Dermestes)

Species identification of necrophagous insects found on a dead body is an essential key in applying medicolegal entomology to the estimation of postmortem interval (PMI). Due to limited morphological identification of insect evidence, several studies have identified species using molecular information such as DNA markers. While considerable cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequence data of necrophagous fly species have been collected and annotated, those of necrophagous beetle species have not. Since necrophagous beetles such as Dermestes species have a larval period longer than that of flies, beetles are useful in even the late decomposition phase in estimating minimum PMI. To obtain the full-length COI gene sequences of six Dermestes species collected from South Korea, we designed primers for polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing. The obtained full COI nucleotide sequences were used for performing phylogenic analysis and comparison with previously reported sequences. The results demonstrated that the COI gene sequences could be used to identify forensically important Dermestes species in South Korea.     

利益相关者还是对手?--解读美国国防部四年防务评估报告

2006年2月3日,美国国防部在其官方网站上提前公布了新版<四年防务评估报告>(原定于2月6日提交国会),由于这是决定未来数年、乃至更长一段时间美国国防政策和军事战略走向的纲领性文件,因而受到了世界各国的广泛关注.     

论行政司法裁判权

行政司法裁判权的核心在于将司法机关(法院)作为一道屏障,矗立在代表公共权利的行政机关和享有私人权利的行政相对人之间,运用司法权力监督行政权力,并籍此给遭受行政权力侵犯的公民、法人和其他组织提供救济。在我国,行政司法裁判权存在许多局限,如何真正实现法律意义上的行政司法裁判权,将是我国民主与法制建设的一个重要标志。     

职业道德建设浅谈

职业不道德现象作为一种群体行为,突出反映在垄断行业,并开始引起人们的广泛注意。加强职业道德建设,必须首先从确立职业道德的价值取向入手,而后科学地制定职业道德规范,并遵循平等与公正原则,可操作性、强制性原则,以及合法性原则。     

实质的刑法解释论之确立与展开

在刑法的解释与适用上,存在着形式的刑法解释论与实质的刑法解释论之争。形式的刑法解释论主张对刑罚法规进行字面的、形式的、逻辑的解释,实质的刑法解释论主张对刑罚法规进行实质的、价值的、合目的的解释。实质的刑法解释论是对形式的刑法解释论的扬弃,它不仅与刑法规范的特点、结构、内容相一致,具有方法论意义上的合理性,而且满足了我国刑事法治目标与罪刑法定原则兼具形式侧面与实质侧面的要求,适应了我国犯罪概念与犯罪构成体系形式与实质相统一的特点,具有优越的合理性。我国刑法应确立与贯彻实质的刑法解释论立场。
