Sidney Kaye, Ph.D. Internationally renowned forensic toxicologist

The importance of Dr. Sidney Kaye's contributions in the field of forensic science cannot be over-emphasized. He can be called a pioneer in the field of forensic science and forensic toxicology because of the many contributions he has made to analysis, the literature and poison control, as well as activities in alcohol and drug analysis. He has been fortunate in being a part of history through his relationship, as a student, to Dr. Alexander Gettler, the founder of modern-day forensic toxicology, and by working with Dr. Gradwohl in Saint Louis, Missouri in the 1950s, when the American forensic sciences were being organized. Dr. Kaye is one of the founders of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, the foremost and largest forensic science organization in the World. It is for these reasons that he received the Alexander O. Gettler Award by the Toxicology Section of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, for outstanding analytical achievements in forensic toxicology, at the annual meeting of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, in Las Vegas, Nevada, on February 14, 1985.

Sharp-force trauma analysis and the forensic anthropologist: techniques advocated by William R. Maples, Ph.D.

Forensic anthropological tenets supported by William R. Maples, Ph.D. provide the bases for a case study from the C.A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory. Using a multidisciplinary team that included police investigators, pathologists, odontologists, entomologists, and anthropologists, a biological profile and trauma analysis was constructed. Our analysis determined that the decedent was a middle-aged Hispanic male, approximately 5'6"-5'7" in stature, who had died a minimum of three months before the discovery of his remains. Gross and microscopic analysis revealed 11 areas of sharp trauma to the skull and cervical vertebrae. To aid with analysis of the trauma, nonhuman trauma exemplars were created using a Tiger rear flail mower of the make known to have been used at the scene where the remains were recovered. This use of nonhuman trauma exemplars proved to be essential in the effort to exclude the rear flail mower as the possible trauma agent.     

Wilton Marion Krogman, Ph.D. (1903-1987): the end of an era

Dr. Wilton Marion Krogman was one of the major founders of physical and forensic anthropology in the United States. His extraordinary career spanned nearly six decades, and he was universally admired and respected for his scholarship, teaching, research, wit, and humanity. While studies based on human skeletal remains have long been used to assist the medicolegal system, the late Dr. Krogman can be credited with uniting these areas into the discipline of forensic anthropology. His "Guide to the Identification of Human Skeletal Material" (1939) in the F.B.I. Law Enforcement Bulletin became the foundation of this discipline; his monumental book The Human Skeleton in Forensic Medicine (updated with the author in 1986) solidified its establishment. The purpose of this paper is to pay tribute to this great man and outline his influence on the development and advancement of forensic anthropology.     

A thousand tales of dead men: the forensic anthropology cases of William R. Maples, Ph.D.

This paper examines the nearly 1000 forensic anthropology case reports authored by the late William R. Maples during his 28 year career at the University of Florida, Gainesville. The types of case files reviewed include C.A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory reports; 999, US ARMY-CILHI reviews; 226, and historical or prominent persons. Although Dr. Maples performed private casework, these files were not available for examination. A demographic profile for the C.A. Pound Human Identification Laboratory sample is presented.

再论虚拟财产刑事保护的不当性——与王志祥博士商榷

王志祥博士发表在《北方法学》2010年第4期上的《论虚拟财产刑事保护的正当性——与侯国云教授商榷》一文,对笔者发表在《中国人民公安大学学报(社会科学版)》2008年第3期上的《论网络虚拟财产刑事保护的不当性——让虚拟财产永远待在虚拟世界》进行了系统的辩论和批评。为避免对读者产生误导,倡导游戏产业健康发展,此文再次阐述笔者对虚拟财产的基本观点:虚拟物品和虚拟财产的划分不科学,游戏商和玩家都是虚拟财产的主体。虚拟财产没有客观性和现实性,它在现实世界中不具有任何效用性。虚拟财产也不具有稀缺性,更不能在现实世界中流转。游戏只是娱乐,不是劳动,虚拟财产作为整个游戏软件的组成部分,不应该另行卖钱。用虚拟财产兑换现实货币违反价值规律和价值交换规则,虚拟交易属于干扰金融秩序的违法行为,保护虚拟财产将会给社会带来极大危害,应让虚拟财产永远待在虚拟世界。     

Claimant identification pilot projects. Final rules

We are revising our regulations that pertain to the processing of initial claims for disability benefits under title II (Social Security Disability Insurance) and title XVI (Supplemental Security Income) of the Social Security Act (the Act). We will be conducting pilot projects wherein we will request photographic identification from individuals filing for title II and title XVI disability and blindness benefits in specified geographic areas covered by the pilot projects. In addition, we will require individuals to allow us to take their photograph and we will make these photographs a part of the claims folder. We will permit an exception to the photograph requirement when an individual has a sincere religious objection. This process will strengthen the integrity of the disability claims process by helping to ensure that the individual filing the application is the same individual examined by the consultative examination (CE) physician.     

Y-chromosome haplotypes in Italy: the GEFI collaborative database.

A sample of 1176 males from 10 Italian regions have been typed for DYS19, DYS389-I, DYS389-II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, and DYS385. Individual haplotype data are available on line. A low degree of variation is present among regions. Use of this database is specifically recommended for forensic applications in Italy.     

网络社会法律治理与技术治理的二元共治

互联网通过虚拟技术使人们实现了一种独特的在线生存的基本样态。它扩大了人们的社会互动范围,改变了人们的交往形式,形成了网络社会独特的时空观、权力观和人际观。中国当下坚持的集权主义、行为主义和国家主权的网络治理逻辑,正在受到技术的严峻挑战。网络技术逐步生成了一种网络自主空间,并形成了一套以技术编码和自治伦理为主的技术治理方式。技术治理方式区别于以国家为核心的法律治理方式,甚至在某些场合对法律治理方式产生制约。人们需要运用法律蕴含的价值和法律治理的有关手段,对技术治理进行有效归化。技术治理水平的提升,又为法律治理手段、边界和治理结构的调整提供动力和可持续的约束力。正确处理法律治理与技术治理之间的关系,形成二元共治结构,是提升中国网络治理水平和能力的前提。
