卷入政治

“独立宣言”公布以后,一年过去了——革命仍然在继续。英国占领军正在撤离,但是荷兰人又回来了。海牙不承认1945年8月17日单方面宣布的独立,而是增派了更多部队。爪畦和苏门答腊的大多数大城市,以及外岛的广大地区,都落在荷兰人的控制之下。拥护共和政体者的中心日惹,仍然保持独立,直到荷兰人在1948年12月19日发动进攻时为止。印度尼西亚独立战士第一次激烈的联合行动的浪潮开始下降。主要是由于全国大动乱引起的所谓“社会革命”的过火行为,破坏了独立斗争的声誉。印度尼西亚的富裕家     

是“大马来西亚”还是英国的新殖民主义?

从1961年中至1962年中,大不列颠政府和马来亚联合邦政府,经过几个阶段的谈判,已于去年(1962年)8月1日达成了初步协议,规定在1963年8月31日以前组织一个新国家——马来西亚联邦.除马来亚联合邦外,这个未来国家还要包括新加坡"自治邦",英国在加里曼丹(即婆罗洲)岛的殖民地沙捞越、北婆罗洲和汶莱保护国.拟议中的马来西亚联邦,其领土有336,000平方公里,人口约有1,000万人.     

1918—1939年緬甸农民的债务

东南亚就其蘊藏的资源來說,是世界上最丰富的地区之一,它拥有各种各样的有价值的礦藏,广闊的土地和森林、水力资源、大量人力后备。但是,东南亚国家的經济发展水平,直到現在仍然是极低的。 这种落后狀况是帝国主义掠夺者,首先是英国殖民者,在东南亚一系列国家,其中包括在緬甸实行統治的直接结果。 十九世纪最后二十五年,英國人完全佔领了緬     

Vancouver police raid needle exchange run by drug users

The police claimed that drug trafficking was going on at the needle exchange run by the Vancouver Area Network of Drug Users, but they failed to provide any evidence to that effect. The police later apologized for their remarks and the exchange re-opened.     

Variability of the pattern of aging on the human skeleton: evidence from bone indicators and implications on age at death estimation

Age at death assessment of adult skeletons is one of the most difficult problems in forensic and physical anthropology. Two fundamental sources of error are described: the complex variability in the process of skeletal aging and methodological bias. Taking into account these limits, we developed a new scoring system for the auricular surface of the ilium and the pubic symphysis. In order to address a large variability, we examine reference samples from Europe, North America, Africa, and Asia. Data were processed using Bayesian prediction in order to classify specimens in age range categories. Results show that combining indicators do not perform better than the auricular surface used as a single indicator. Morphological changes with aging are variable between Asian, African, and European populations, confirming the necessity to use population-specific standards. Bayesian prediction produces reliable classification and is applicable for subjects over 50 years old, a real methodological improvement.
