Fluorescence of a Natural Fluorophore as a Key to Improve Fingerprint Contrast Image

The optical and morphological properties of resveratrol were investigated. This nontoxic fluorescent natural material, emitting in the visible blue light, was used as an optical marker, enabling the enhancement of the image contrast coming from relief pictures marked on challenging surfaces. By applying appropriated imaging softwares, this marker was verified to be very useful in the latent fingerprint recognition deposited on different wood surface types, mainly those with high level of roughness, where conventional forensic materials do not allow effective fingerprint image visualization.

Inward-Looking Policies, Institutions, Autocrats, and Economic Growth in Latin America: An Empirical Exploration

This paper explores the institutionaldeterminants of economic growth in LatinAmerica by taking advantage of recentempirical research that employs subjectiveand objective measures to test for apossible “Northian” explanation that linksinstitutional quality and economic growth.We explore a simple framework that may helpbetter understand the policymakers’ choicesand persistence regarding inward-lookingpolicies that were pursued between the1930s and the 1980s by arguing that in theLatin American case Olson’s (1982) idea ofencompassing interest should be expanded tocover not only the economic stakes of powerholders, but in particular, their psychicincome which includes their politicalstakes, along the lines of recent work byRobinson (1997), Coyne (2002), andothers.     

非洲联盟面临的挑战

非洲面临最重要的挑战就是如何避免并解决冲突,恢复和巩固和平。持久和平是非洲应对其他挑战的先决条件。非洲联盟的建立显示出非洲人民应对挑战的决心,其目标就是要消除贫困,维护和平,使非洲各国走上经济持续发展的道路。中国是最早向莫桑比克提供援助的国家之一,非洲国家视中国为伙伴和盟友,中非合作的前景广阔。     

The Western Muhajirat of ISIS

An unprecedented number of Western women have recently joined the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The group has envisaged strictly non-combat roles for them, but violence is an essential part of their embraced ideology and several signs suggest that they could claim a more militant role. Their marginalization, however, is essential for the preservation of ISIS's power system and it is consequently unlikely that it would accommodate such aspiration, at least in the areas of the proclaimed caliphate. It could be different in the West, where women returning from conflict areas or those, even more numerous, anxious to join but unable to travel, could engage in violent acts.     

自由裁量权限定机制研究——以案例指导制度的建构为分析视角

案例指导制度之于中国司法实践的作用,主要体现在实现法律系统闭合、发挥法律见解控制机制作用和预防纠纷发生等三个方面。通过这些功能的发挥,案例指导制度承载起自由裁量限定机制的作用,在确保"同案同判"、确保裁判可接受性等方面助益良多。     

西北革命根据地军事斗争的主要特点及历史经验

西北革命根据地是中国共产党在土地革命战争后期仅存的一块比较完整的红色革命根据地,不仅是中国工农红军长征胜利的落脚点,而且是中国共产党领导全国军民抗击日寇和建立新中国的军事、政治中心。在这块红色根据地,党领导西北红军开展了多种形式的军事斗争。在中华民族走向复兴的今天,研究西北革命根据地军事斗争特点和历史经验,对推动党史军史研究和做好军事斗争准备,使部队能打仗、打胜仗具有十分重要的历史和现实意义。     

Trust and Reciprocity in the Aftermath of Natural Disasters

Abstract

Beyond all the material and economic losses that natural disasters produce, post-disaster environments can alter the social capital of a community by affecting social norms, attitudes, and people’s behaviour. To analyse this issue, we empirically investigate the effect that the aftermath of a disaster can have on trust and reciprocity of people within communities. We do this by comparing outcomes of trust games conducted in earthquake-affected and non-affected rural villages one year after the 2010 Chilean earthquake. Our findings show that while trust levels do not differ across cases, reciprocity is lower in earthquake-affected areas.     

多元启发决策理论与美国总统使用武力：一种定量检验

多元启发理论将决策过程假设为两个阶段：第一阶段，决策者基于一个简化的心理认知捷径和非补偿原则排除了那些不能满足关键维度效用的方案；第二阶段则在剩下的方案中以一种理性选择方式选定效用最大的方案。本文从国际危机行为数据库（ICB3．0）选取了1946年至2006年美国总统在对外政策危机中使用武力的数据来检验多元启发理论决策两阶段和非补偿原则的假设。本文的逻辑回归分析发现：在决策的第一’阶段，作为关键维度的国内政治得失对总统应对外交政策危机时是否使用武力的行为具有显著性影响，这支持了多元启发理论关于领导人基于-~＊1-偿原则决策的假设；在第二阶段，理性因素如实力差异、对国际影响的威胁以及国内经济条件等对总统使用武力行为具有显著性影响。这些发现支持了多元启发理论的核心假设。
