Population genetics of nine STR loci: TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, vWA, FESFPS, F13A01, D13S317, D7S820 and D16S539 in a Korean population

Allele frequencies for nine STR loci namely, TH01, TPOX, CSF1PO, vWA, FESFPS, F13A01, D13S317, D7S820 and D16S539 were obtained from a sample of 437 unrelated individuals living in Chungcheong-do, South Korea.     

战后日本公害法的形成与发展

<正> 一、水来土挡的地方防治公害条例战后初期,日本当局忙于经济恢复,沉醉于"经济高度成长",一味追求"产值第一"、最大限额的利润。而对于公害问题,虽然不能说是不闻不问,但却看成是一个在地区范围内就可以解决的问题。因而采取了水来土挡的被动防治办法。     

关于建立公共财政框架的探讨

我国当前正在向公共财政转型。公共财政应具备四方面特征。为此,要收缩生产建设职能,合理掌握财政分配的顺序和轻重缓急,形成规范的公共选择机制、为公众服务的意识与制度规范和协调、配套的公共财政管理体系,转变和创新理财的方式。     

Fast Source Camera Identification Using Content Adaptive Guided Image Filter

Source camera identification (SCI) is an important topic in image forensics. One of the most effective fingerprints for linking an image to its source camera is the sensor pattern noise, which is estimated as the difference between the content and its denoised version. It is widely believed that the performance of the sensor‐based SCI heavily relies on the denoising filter used. This study proposes a novel sensor‐based SCI method using content adaptive guided image filter (CAGIF). Thanks to the low complexity nature of the CAGIF, the proposed method is much faster than the state‐of‐the‐art methods, which is a big advantage considering the potential real‐time application of SCI. Despite the advantage of speed, experimental results also show that the proposed method can achieve comparable or better performance than the state‐of‐the‐art methods in terms of accuracy.     

The Institution of a Standardized Investigation Protocol for Sudden Infant Death in the Eastern Metropole,Cape Town,South Africa,,

The rate for the sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) in Cape Town, South Africa, is estimated to be among the highest in the world (3.41/1000 live births). In several of these areas, including those of extreme poverty, only sporadic, nonstandardized infant autopsy, and death scene investigation (DSI) occurred. In this report, we detail a feasibility project comprising 18 autopsied infants with sudden and unexpected death whose causes of death were adjudicated according to the 1991 NICHD definitions (SIDS, n = 7; known cause of death, n = 7; and unclassified, n = 4). We instituted a standardized autopsy and infant DSI through a collaborative effort of local forensic pathology officers and clinical providers. The high standard of forensic investigation met international standards, identified preventable disease, and allowed for incorporation of research. We conclude that an effective infant autopsy and DSI protocol can be established in areas with both high sudden unexpected infant death, and elsewhere.

Damage characteristics of fabrics created by TASER probes

TASER® weapons are conducted energy weapons (CEWs) that are frequently used by police departments around the world. CEWs can be deployed in two methods: drive stun application and probe deployment. This study aims to examine damages caused by TASER devices on fabrics and whether types of fabric material and TASER models could contribute to different damage features. Three types of white fabric were used, including 100% cotton, 100% polyester, and 65:35 polyester-cotton blend. Three models: TASER X26P, TASER X2, and TASER 7 were shot onto each type of fabric, with five repetitions each. Each damaged area on the fabric caused by a probe is a sample (n = 90) and was examined with a Keyence digital microscope. Images were captured by the Keyence microscope and measurements were recorded, including damage dimensions, fabric condition, evidence of burning, and extra findings. The presence of fused yarn ends was found to be statistically significant across the fabric types, and no damage features were found that may assist in the identification of TASER models. Other damage features including damage dimensions, discoloration, and fiber deformation were not found to be showing apparent differences according to statistical analysis. The conclusions made by this research should be used with caution due to the small sample size.     

Reducing Intimate Partner Violence Among Latinas Through the Moms’ Empowerment Program: an Efficacy Trial

Although intimate partner violence (IPV) is a particularly prevalent public health concern among Latina populations, the evidence-based treatment options for Latinas who experience IPV are limited. The present study tested the efficacy of the Moms’ Empowerment Program (MEP), an intervention for Spanish-speaking Latina mothers who had recently experienced IPV. Participants (N?=?95) were assigned to a Treatment (n?=?55) or a waitlist Control (n?=?40) condition, and those in the Treatment group completed a 10-week intervention designed to address the problems associated with IPV. Intent-to-treat analyses using multiple regression revealed that Latinas’ participation in the MEP was associated with reductions in IPV exposure. These findings provide preliminary evidence that the MEP may reduce exposure to physical violence among Spanish-speaking Latinas.

论知识产权的民法传统和现代性

知识产权民法传统的存在,是基于对知识产权的逻辑结构、道德基础、哲学品格分析而获得的判断.市场发育和法律移植等多重因素,导致该传统已经产生学科术语体系和精神上的困境.学者及立法者试图通过回归民法的体系化,努力摆脱困境,但无论如何,这仅仅具有技术层面的意义.于是,精神内核的改造成为另一种出路.知识产权的现代性作为生产社会幸福的新文明模式,以理性及本土化为实现路径,足以完成这一未来任务.
