中国能源外交与地缘政治——以石油为例

中国在崛起的过程中,已受到了能源瓶颈的制约,能源安全日益突出。为了积极应对,中国开始关注与能源相关的地缘政治因素的变动,在双边乃至多边关系中突出以能源合作为特色的“能源外交”。虽然中国在开展能源外交时有其潜在优势,但也面临着挑战。因此,我们应该按照“一个中心、两个基本点”,即以重塑形象为中心,以对能源地缘政治和相互依赖的认知与实践为两个基本点来构建中国能源外交战略,积极推动在互利平等、互相尊重的基础上进行国际能源合作。

对公安院校警体教学改革的研究与探讨

在加快改革开放和发展社会主义市场经济的新形势下,公安工作面临的形势更加严峻,任务更加艰巨、繁重。因此,对警察的身体素质和警务实战技能提出了越来越高的要求。公安院校作为培养未来警察的重要基地,警体教学应贴近公安工作实际。强化课程和教材建设,优化教学整体结构,精选教学内容。进一步建立和完善以增强学生体质,提高体能为基础、掌握警体技能为重点、强化实战运用能力为目标的教学训练体系。使警体教学为增强公安队伍战斗力发挥更大的作用。本文就有关警体课程和教学训练中存在的一些问题进行探讨,目的是为警体教学的改革提供参考。     

Selenium determination in mother and child's hair by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

A method for the selenium determination in a mother and her child's hair using palladium as a chemical modifier was optimized. The sample was digested with nitric acid and hydrogen peroxide and diluted to 5 ml. To achieve complete mineralization the samples were ashed at 1200 degrees C in the presence of palladium as a chemical modifier. The optimum atomization temperature was 1900 degrees C. The precision and accuracy of the method were studied using the reference material CRM 397. Results of calibration using aqueous standards and the standard addition method were compared. The method was applied to the selenium determination in 30 samples of the mother's and child's hair. The levels found were 0.54 +/- 0.34 microgram/g for mother's hair and 0.77 +/- 0.25 microgram/g for child's hair.     

Memory and taste in the collections and households of the Spanish nobility (nineteenth and early twentieth centuries): an introduction to the topic with some notes on the house of Osuna and the origins of the period room

“Albeit democratic, their coat of arms has pride of place”. Thus Romualdo Nogués defined, in 1890, Spanish collectors of bourgeois origin who had joined the ranks of the aristocracy. A few years later, in 1924, the Duke of Alba’s maiden speech at the Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando justified his personal artistic worthiness on the basis of his ancestors’ collecting activities and the artworks they had amassed.

These two examples set the scene for the research questions studied in this monographic issue. The present introduction offers a bird’s eye view of the phenomenon and continues with a few remarks about the House of Osuna which, as is well known, occupied a pivotal position in Spanish nobility during the whole of the second half of the nineteenth century.     

The effect of exposure to the elements on the forensic characterization by infrared spectroscopy of poly(ethylene terephthalate) fibers

Validation of a recently proposed differentiation method for single poly (ethylene terephthalate) (PET) fibers, based on integration of IR absorption bands, is presented. IR microscopy in the transmission mode, differential scanning calorimetry and optical microscopy were employed. The reliability of the technique has been extended to the cases in which the fibers being compared have experienced long exposure to the elements, as may happen if these items are recovered from open-air crime scenes. The effect of immersion in water and irradiation by the sun for a three-month period have been considered. The fibers remained morphologically and structurally unaltered. The significance of comparisons between fibers kept in different environments is thus enhanced, because the detrimental effect of the elements can be ruled out. This further validation of the proposed technique contributes to render the data presented by the forensic scientist less vulnerable to context effect and bias.     

Pseudolaminar necrosis in cyanide intoxication: a neuropathology case report

We describe the gross and microscopic neuropathological changes in the brain of a 17-year-old male who died 4 days after being poisoned with cyanide. Previous reports indicate that following cyanide intoxication, the brain develops diffuse hypoxic/ischemic changes, predominantly of the basal ganglia. The case we describe here had similar features but in addition showed striking laminar necrosis of the cerebral cortex. This finding in cyanide poisoning has been previously demonstrated by neuroimaging, but not pathologically.
