The Relationship Between Religious and Spiritual Factors and the Perpetration of Intimate Personal Violence

Despite some understanding of general correlates and possible antecedents to intimate partner violence (IPV) within the Christian community, the impact of religious and spiritual factors tends to be confounded by other factors and is often misjudged. Archival data from Wave III of the National Longitudinal Study of Adolescent Health (Add Health) were used to examine the impact of nine religious and spiritual factors on the probability of IPV perpetration by males, aged 18 to 26, who nominally classified themselves as Catholic, Protestant, or Christian. Logistic regression results indicated that IPV perpetration could not be adequately predicted from the religious and spiritual factors. Given the geographic breadth and the size of the Add Health sample, no finding of a predictive model for Christian male-perpetrated IPV challenges the paradigm that religious and spiritual factors should be overtly addressed in faith-based batterers’ programs targeting young adult males.

诉讼欺诈行为研究——以刑法为视角的分析

诉讼欺诈是一种独特的危害社会的行为。我国刑法理论和司法实践对诉讼欺诈行为的定性分歧较大。事实上,诉讼欺诈完全符合诈骗罪的本质特征,因而应按诈骗罪定罪量刑。诉讼欺诈行为侵犯双重具体的社会关系,但其直接客体是单一客体。诈骗罪中的被骗人与被害人不必是同一人,但被骗人与财产处分者必须是同一人;在被骗人与被害人不一致的情况下,应当以被骗人为基准来判断处分意思和处分行为。     

Anticorruption agencies: expressive,constructivist and strategic uses

This article explores the reasons for the introduction of anticorruption agencies of a specific type in Eastern Europe. It is argued that one of the important functions of these agencies—which are stronger on information gathering, coordination and strategy rather than on investigation of concrete cases—is to give to the government some leverage over the anticorruption discourse. Presenting the anticorruption commissions and agencies as (discourse-controlling) instruments gives an answer to the troubling question why governing parties are at all interested in the introduction of such bodies. Apart from instrumentalization in political discourse, anticorruption bodies in Eastern Europe have had other effects as well. As shown in the Baltic case, institutional engineering provides for a brief window of opportunity during which political forces committed to integrity could gain the upper hand. The problem in Eastern Europe, however, is not the lack of such windows of opportunities—it is more the lack of really committed political forces capable of continuous and consistent anticorruption effort.     

波尔山羊卵母细胞和早期胚胎的端粒酶活性

利用端粒重复序列扩增(TRAP)法进行了山羊卵母细胞和附植前胚胎的端粒酶活性的测定;结果表明,山羊卵母细胞和早期胚胎的端粒酶活性都为阳性。TPG定量比较发现,卵母细胞的TPG最低,为25.348U;4-细胞的TPG为273.832U,至8-细胞时,TPG又降低到56.117U,随后快速升高,桑椹胚的TPG为251.111U;囊胚的端粒酶活性最高,TPG为519.46U。
