中国国际战略思想的创新

科学发展观、和谐社会、和谐世界是进入新世纪以来中国战略观念创新的集中体现,也是实现中国崛起的宏观战略设计。表明中国在设计一条和平发展的道路,一条不同于西方的现代化道路,一种不同于西方的发展模式,而且这一道路和模式是融入世界发展大潮、全面开放、全面创新。这些战略思想是对1978年以来中国改革开放战略的总结和升华,代表着中国战略思想的重大创新,在一定意义上也成为中国战略由内向性转向外向性的标志。     

缔约过失责任比较研究

我国大陆和台湾地区的缔约过失责任制度都是继受德国的缔约过失责任制度。我国大陆由于立法进程晚于台湾地区,得以未经过判例的发展而直接引入缔约过失责任的概括性规定,从而避免了不能全面保护缔约双方当事人合法权益的流弊。我国大陆的缔约过失责任制度仍然存在缺陷,可以借鉴德国的做法将其置于合同法之中加以规定,或者借助我国侵权行为法立法之机,将缔约过失责任所担负的功能纳入侵权行为法的规范调整之中。     

论提高农村基层干部构建和谐社会的能力

构建和谐社会、建设和谐农村是当前建设中国特色社会主义的重头戏,这对农村基层干部提出了更新更高的要求.我们应针对农村社会实际,通过各种途径不断提高农村基层干部构建和谐社会的能力,从而促进农村和谐社会的建设.     

树立法律理念培育法治型思维

我国已经把依法治国、建设社会主义法治国家作为政治文明建设的目标,要实现这个目标,首要的任务是思维上的变革和更新,即培育法治型思维。     

中国要培育和加强大战略意识

决策者倡导、向国家精英乃至全民普及的大战略意识是一国大战略的基础因素。对于身处崛起进程、以自身政治经济改革促进国家战略目标实现的中国而言,培育和加强大战略意识尤为关键。中国的大战略意识应以大国意识为核心。有史以来,中国就是东亚大国,中国科技曾千余年领世界风气之先,中国经济实力在19世纪初期仍雄居诸大国之冠,中国拥有自成体系的悠久文明;随着中国国家实力的上升,中国已经成为亚太地区的大国之一,亚太地区的所有重大事务,没有中国的积极参与则难以获得满意的结果;中国具备了成为世界大国的某些基本条件,但尚乏足够的国外利…     

经济一体化进程中的中美日战略关系

在经济一体化进程中,中国大战略与中美日关系,尤其是中美关系和中日关系,是中国和平崛起过程中的重要战略关系。首先,中国崛起促进全球经济发展和东亚地区一体化进程,是对世界经济和地区一体化的重大贡献和机遇;其次,全球化与地区一体化趋势之下的中国大战略,强调全球化战略、地区一体化战略和富民强国的国家发展战略,从而构成中国大战略的框架;最后,中美日共同创造繁荣存在现实可能性,但是必须以强调中美日合作与良性竞争的正向性战略价值为基本前提。     

Climate change and EU–China partnership: realist disguise or institutionalist blessing?

Both the EU and China are important participants in the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Kyoto Protocol. The EU’s reliance on legally binding rules and institutions demonstrates its strong belief on institutionalism. While interstate cooperation is certainly necessary, implementation of any international agreement and most of the work needs to be done within a state. Henceforth, an uneasy balance between national interests and international responsibility has to be maintained. In the case of EU–China partnership, the carbon aviation tax issue serves as a good example to examine the realist–institutionalist struggle. Although it is still too early to tell if the EU and China would overcome their major disagreements in the field of climate change, there is reason to believe that an international agreement may be reached by 2015.     

Long Bone (Humerus,Femur, Tibia) Measuring Procedure in Cadavers

In this work, we present a measuring methodology for long bones of the limbs (humerus, femur, and tibia) of human corpses. Measurements of cadaveric height and long bone lengths were conducted on 72 corpses (20 females and 52 males) from the School of Medicine at the National Autonomous University of Mexico. Additionally, these measurements were compared with those taken from dry bones of a subsample of individuals. Our results show marginal differences (TEM% = 0.59) between cadaveric and dry bone measurements, resulting from different osteometric technical procedures. This note outlines the measuring methodology, which will be subsequently used to create regression formulas for stature estimation.     

Comparing Methods to Assess Intraobserver Measurement Error of 3D Craniofacial Landmarks Using Geometric Morphometrics Through a Digitizer Arm

Intraobserver error (INTRA‐OE) is the difference between repeated measurements of the same variable made by the same observer. The objective of this work was to evaluate INTRA‐OE from 3D landmarks registered with a Microscribe, in different datasets: (A) the 3D coordinates, (B) linear measurements calculated from A, and (C) the six‐first principal component axes. INTRA‐OE was analyzed by digitizing 42 landmarks from 23 skulls in three events two weeks apart from each other. Systematic error was tested through repeated measures ANOVA (ANOVA‐RM), while random error through intraclass correlation coefficient. Results showed that the largest differences between the three observations were found in the first dataset. Some anatomical points like nasion, ectoconchion, temporosphenoparietal, asterion, and temporomandibular presented the highest INTRA‐OE. In the second dataset, local distances had higher INTRA‐OE than global distances while the third dataset showed the lowest INTRA‐OE.     

“The big sleep: Elucidating the sequence of events in the first hours of death to determine the postmortem interval”

Recent developments on postmortem interval estimation (PMI) take an advantage of the autolysis process, pointing out to the analysis of the expression of apoptosis and autophagy genes towards this purpose. Oxidative stress plays a role in this signaling as a regulatory mechanism and/or as a consequence of cell death. Additionally, melatonin has been implicated on apoptosis and autophagy signaling, making melatonin a suitable target for PMI determination. The aim of this study was to investigate the early PMI through the analysis of the expression of autophagy genes as well as oxidative stress and melatonin receptor. Our results demonstrated a rapidly increased on the expression of autophagy genes according to the expected sequence of events, then a marked decrease in this expression, matched with the switch to the apoptosis signaling. These results revealed potential candidates to analyze the PMI in the first hours of death, helping to estimate the time-since-death.
