Single sperm cell isolation by micromanipulation for human identification in sexual assault

This study proposes a new alternative solution in preferential extraction methods or microdissection to isolate and analyse single sperm cells in case of sexual assault. After the transfer of swabs in liquid culture medium, perpetrator's spermatozoas can be physically separated from victim's epithelial cells by using classical techniques of micromanipulation as ICSI (IntraCytoplasmic Spermatozoa Injection), usually applied for IVF (In vitro Fertilization).     

Two arch criteria of the ilium for sex determination of immature skeletal remains: A test of their accuracy and an assessment of intra- and inter-observer error

Although the assignment of sex to immature skeletal remains is considered problematic, some traits have been considered useful for both forensic and bioarchaeological applications. One such trait is the arch criterion found in subadult ilia, which is defined relative to the greater sciatic notch-auricular surface area. In adults, the composite arch has also been described in relation to this area and has proven relatively successful in sex determination. This study offers an examination of the accuracy of the arch criterion and the composite arch in determining the sex of subadult skeletal remains, and an assessment of intra- and inter-observer scoring error. A sample of 97 skeletons of known sex and age (<15 years) from the Lisbon collection (Portugal) were selected and the traits were scored by three observers on orthogonal photos of each ilium. In general the agreement within (67.7–88.5%) and between (50.5–76.3%) examiners was poor and overall accuracy (26.7–52.6%) did not meet the expectations of that reported in previous studies. The authors suggest that this derives from great variation in morphology, difficulties in interpreting criteria and possibly a lack of association between the expression of the traits and sex. Careful examination of sex-related morphology in the immature skeleton and additional blind tests of so-called useful traits should continue to be carried out.     

检察机关案件管理工作研究

案件管理部门的职能主要有管理、监督、服务、参谋。实践中，检察机关案件管理部门职能的发挥遇到一些障碍：案件管理的规范化、系统化水平不高；案件管理的监督职能定位有误区，监督权的范围不明晰，行使方式不合理；案件管理的决策参谋职能没能充分发挥。因此，检察机关案件管理工作的完善路径应当围绕着如何破除这些制约因素来展开。     

新疆公安工作与群众路线相结合的新途径——以新疆巴音郭愣蒙古自治州公安机关为例

群众路线是中国公安工作的根本路线,是我国公安工作的优良传统和政治优势。为贯彻公安机关与群众路线相结合的工作原则,新疆巴音郭愣蒙古自治州公安机关创新工作理念和方法,于2010年建立了矛盾纠纷大调解工作机制,并通过"短信评警"、设置触摸屏等方式,采集群众评议信息,将民警执法全过程纳入群众监督,不仅提高了警务工作的透明度,而且有效调动了群众参与社会公共管理的积极性。
