Preferences for Police Response to Domestic Violence: A Comparison of College Students in Three Chinese Societies

While a large amount of research has been conducted in the West on domestic violence related issues, only a small number of studies have focused specifically on Chinese societies. Using survey data collected from Beijing, Hong Kong, and Taipei, this study compares college students’ preferences for traditional and proactive police intervention into domestic violence and assesses the determinants of such preferences in the three Chinese societies. The findings indicate that Hong Kong students showed the highest level of support for traditional police response, followed by students in Beijing and Taipei, while students in Taipei displayed the strongest preference for proactive police response, followed by students in Hong Kong and Beijing. College students’ preferences for traditional police response were shaped mainly by their locality, whereas their preferences for proactive police intervention were influenced chiefly by their attitudes toward violence and gender roles. Directions for future research are discussed.     

Determination of bromadiolone and brodifacoum in human blood using LC-ESI/MS/MS and its application in four superwarfarin poisoning cases

Superwarfarin poisoning is a growing health problem. A sensitive and reproducible LC-ESI/MS/MS (liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry) method was developed and validated for the determination of bromadiolone and brodifacoum, the most commonly used superwarfarins, in human blood using warfarin-D5 as an internal standard. Bromadiolone and brodifacoum were extracted from whole blood samples by liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. Multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) was used to detect bromadiolone and brodifacoum using precursor→product ion combinations of m/z 525→250 and 521→135, respectively. The calibration curves were linear (r(2)=0.9999) in the concentration range of 0.5-100.0ng/mL for bromadiolone and brodifacoum, with a lower limit of detection of 0.1 and 0.2ng/mL, respectively, in whole blood. This method detected trace levels of bromadiolone and brodifacoum in whole blood samples and can be used in the diagnosis of poisoned human beings.     

Correlates of handgun carrying among adolescents in the United States

Weapon-related violence, especially the use of handguns, among adolescents is a serious public health concern. Using public-use data file from the adolescent sample (N = 17,842) in the 2008 National Survey on Drug Use and Health (NSDUH), this study examines the behavioral, parental involvement, and prevention correlates of handgun carrying. Overall, 3.1% of adolescents between the ages of 12 and 17 reported carrying a handgun in the past year. Results from a series of logistic regression models indicated that males, selling and using illicit drugs, were robustly associated with an increased probability of handgun carrying among adolescents. Furthermore, youth who carry handguns were significantly less likely to report a parent being involved in their lives and were significantly more likely to have encountered violence and drug prevention programming compared with youth who did not carry handguns. Implications of these results for prevention and policy are discussed.     

中国汉族人群17个Y-STR基因座突变情况分析

目的 调查分析17个Y-STR基因座等位基因突变的情况.方法 收集中国汉族人群867对父子共1 649份男性血样本.采用YfilerTM复合扩增试剂盒进行17个Y-STR基因座分型,共检测出14 739次等位基因传递,统计各基因座发生等位基因突变的频率.结果 在17个基因座中发现涉及13个基因座共41次突变,其中一步突变40次(97.6％),两步突变1次(2.4％);突变共涉及40对父子,其中39对仅1个基因座发生突变(97.5％),1对同时有2个基因座发生突变(2.5％);平均突变率为2.8×10-3(95％CI 2.0～3.8×10-3).等位基因突变时获得重复单位数19次,丢失重复单位数22次,两者比例接近.结论 中国汉族人群Y-STR基因座突变可涉及多数基因座,突变率在2.8×10-3左右,在数据库的建立与应用中应重视,注意采用相关方法进行甄别.     

论夫妻约定财产制度的适用困境——由夫妻二人公司出资协议性质争议引发的思考

夫妻二人出资所创办的公司,其股东出资协议的性质存在一定的争议,如何界定并厘清夫妻二人公司,讨论夫妻财产制契约的性质和夫妻二人公司的股东出资协议的性质则显得十分必要,揭示我国夫妻财产制的立法不足,探究解决办法也相当重要。夫妻财产制契约是身份契约,夫妻二人公司的股权出资协议不是夫妻财产制契约。要完善婚姻法律制度必须改变“一事一议”的立法模式。     

涉地沟油犯罪的规定解读及相关问题研究——以“两高一部”《关于依法严惩“地沟油”犯罪活动的通知》为视角

2012年针对地沟油加工、销售愈演愈烈的形势,最高人民法院、最高人民检察院、公安部出台了《关于依法严惩"地沟油"犯罪活动的通知》。但该《通知》的规定只作为一种参考提供给公检法部门,它本身不具备刑法的强制力。因此,有必要在立法上对涉地沟油犯罪作出系统的规定,给今后办理地沟油类犯罪案件提供明确的指引。     

课外科技活动与大学生创新思维培养

目前,高校教学体系不完善、学生发散思维能力不强等因素阻碍了大学生创新思维的培养,而课外科技活动作为高校实践教学环节的重要组成部分,是培养大学生创新思维的有效载体。实践中,高校应深化教学改革,建立健全大学生课外科技活动体系;坚持开展课外科技活动,培养大学生的创新思维。     

转型过程中的中国城市管理创新:内容、体制及目标

进入"十二五"以来,中国的城市化正经历从"注重发展型"向"民生福祉型"的重要转型。在城市化的新形势下,我国的城市管理也遇到了新的挑战,同时孕育着新的机遇。构建面向未来的中国城市管理,首先需要厘清中国城市发展(城市化)的路径,明确中国城市发展的趋势,进而讨论中国城市管理(治理)的创新,以此提出适合中国城市发展特点的管理模式。从内容、体制和目标上对城市管理进行创新,是中国城市化发展的必然要求,也是探索新型城市化形势下中国城市管理创新的有效道路。     

我国林权纠纷解决机制及其完善

解决林权纠纷是新时期集体林权制度改革的必要前提和重要保障。我国在法理和实践层面都存在着林权纠纷的多元化解决机制,包括民间性、行政性和司法性纠纷解决机制。但这些机制在观念认知、制度安排和方式方法上都还存在诸多问题,当前迫切需要加强多元化、法治化和专业化建设。
