Molecular Identification of Necrophagous Dermestes Species in South Korea Using Cytochrome c Oxidase Subunit I Nucleotide Sequences (Genus Dermestes)

Species identification of necrophagous insects found on a dead body is an essential key in applying medicolegal entomology to the estimation of postmortem interval (PMI). Due to limited morphological identification of insect evidence, several studies have identified species using molecular information such as DNA markers. While considerable cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene sequence data of necrophagous fly species have been collected and annotated, those of necrophagous beetle species have not. Since necrophagous beetles such as Dermestes species have a larval period longer than that of flies, beetles are useful in even the late decomposition phase in estimating minimum PMI. To obtain the full-length COI gene sequences of six Dermestes species collected from South Korea, we designed primers for polymerase chain reaction amplification and sequencing. The obtained full COI nucleotide sequences were used for performing phylogenic analysis and comparison with previously reported sequences. The results demonstrated that the COI gene sequences could be used to identify forensically important Dermestes species in South Korea.

Shared Agency with Parents for Educational Goals: Ethnic Differences and Implications for College Adjustment

This study proposed and confirmed three ways in which college students can perceive shared agency and two ways in which they can perceive non-shared agency with parents when pursuing educational goals in college. Differences and similarities were examined among participants from four ethnic backgrounds (N = 515; 67% female): East Asian American, Southeast Asian American, Filipino/Pacific Islander American, and European American. Results indicated that Asian American youth reported higher levels of non-shared agency with parents (i.e., parental directing and noninvolvement), lower levels of shared agency (i.e., parental accommodation, support, or collaboration), and poorer college adjustment compared to European Americans. However, ethnic similarities were found whereby perceived shared agency in education with parents was associated with college adjustment. Multiple mediation analyses also indicated that our model of shared and non-shared agency with parents explained differences in college adjustment between Asian and European Americans, though more strongly for comparisons between European and East Asian Americans. Our results suggest that parents continue to be important in the education of older youth but that continued directing of youth’s education in college can be maladaptive.     

论非监禁刑与和谐社会建设

和谐社会理论具有丰富的内涵和重要的实践价值,是我国社会发展的方向和目标。非监禁刑体现了刑罚轻缓化、刑罚人道主义和回归社会的理念。作为现代刑罚的发展趋势,非监禁刑在我国将会不断发展和完善,并对建设社会主义和谐社会起到重要的促进和保障作用。     

人民监督员制度深化发展的路径

从试行三年的实践来看,人民监督员制度作为检察机关自主创新的一项改革已取得一定的实效,但在制度运行中也在不同层面暴露出一些问题。应对这些问题,应寻求其解决并深化发展的路径,在人民监督员制度的性质、主体、客体、监督方式及监督体制方面实现转变。     

伊朗宪政革命的思想背景

20世纪初的伊朗宪政革命,既是一场对伊朗近现代历史影响深远的政治运动,也是历时近一个世纪的思想文化启蒙运动的历史高潮。它是在西方教育渗透、早期教育改革、文学改革、新闻出版兴起和西方民主宪政思想传播等思想文化领域发生重大变化的背景下发生的。这些社会思潮的变化对伊朗近现代历史变迁影响至为深远。     

3种哌嗪类药物滥用研究进展

哌嗪类药物N-苄基哌嗪(BZP)、1-(3-氯苯基)哌嗪(mCPP)、1-(3-三氟甲基苯基)哌嗪(TFMPP)具有与MDMA相似的兴奋作用和致幻作用,成了迷幻药的替代品,在各国滥用的报道逐年增多。本文综述了3种哌嗪类药物在各国的管制、滥用情况、毒理作用、检测方法,希望为司法部门打击此类药物犯罪提供参考和借鉴。

网上银行犯罪侦查对策研究

近年来,随着网上银行的迅速发展,其发展的"瓶颈"--安全问题也日益突出.网上银行犯罪现象诸多,其实都是传统犯罪形式的翻新.对于以网络为基础的网上银行犯罪,证据资料易被篡改、销毁,并且在侦查取证时技术复杂、要求较高,此类案件的侦查取证工作较之于传统案件相对困难.因此,必须基于网上情报信息搞好网上银行犯罪案件现场勘查、电子证据的提取以及电子证据的保全工作等,从而有效打击网上银行犯罪.
