Model for the prediction of mechanical asphyxia as the cause of death based on four biological indexes in human cardiac tissue

Determination of mechanical asphyxia as the cause of death has always been difficult for forensic pathologists, particularly when signs of asphyxia are not obvious on the body. Currently, depending on only physical examination of corpses, pathologists must be cautious when making cause-of-death appraisals. In a previous study, four biomarkers—dual-specificity phosphatase 1 (DUSP1), potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily J member 2 (KCNJ2), miR-122, and miR-3185—were screened in human cardiac tissue from cadavers that died from mechanical asphyxia compared with those that died from craniocerebral injury, hemorrhagic shock, or other causes. Expression of the markers correlated with death from mechanical asphyxia regardless of age, environmental temperature, and postmortem interval. However, a single biological index is not an accurate basis for the identification of the cause of death. In this study, receiver operating characteristic curves of the ΔCq values of the four indexes were generated. The diagnostic accuracy of the indexes was judged according to their area under the curve (DUSP1: 0.773, KCNJ2: 0.775, miR-122: 0.667, and miR-3185: 0.801). Finally, a nomogram was generated, and single blind experiment was conducted to verify the cause of death of mechanical asphyxia.     

Analysing interventionism beyond conventional foreign policy rationales: the engagement of Brazil in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH)

Most of the analysis dealing with so-called “emerging powers” in the field of peace and security seek to explain the intentions and motivations (supposedly) behind these states’ foreign policy and changing normative positions. Several of those studies see foreign policy decisions as the result of rational processes, defined by a “means-and-ends” logic, essentially oriented by preconceived national interests, clear ideational precepts and fixed identities. Through a non-conventional analysis of the participation of Brazil in the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH), the paper aims to advance an understanding of foreign policy as an identity practice that, especially in moments of domestic identity crisis, helps reinforce and stabilize specific representations of the state self and of those acting in its name. Informed by a post-positivist approach, the case discussed in the paper opens some avenues to explore how interventionism can be analysed beyond traditional foreign policy rationales and mainstream international relations theories.     

乡村振兴战略下新疆城乡商贸物流融合水平测度与融合路径设计

城乡商贸与城乡物流融合发展有助于支撑乡村振兴战略的实现。本文分别构建了城乡商贸与城乡物流融合水平测度模型、路径分析模型,以测度融合水平、设计融合路径。研究表明:新疆城乡商贸和城乡物流子系统有序度整体呈现上升趋势,而复合系统融合度存在"协调-不协调"交替的特征;新疆城乡商贸与城乡物流总体上处于初级融合阶段,需要解决业务一体、空间集聚问题;乌鲁木齐市城乡商贸与城乡物流处于"业务分离、空间集聚"的中级融合阶段,需要通过"融合-分散型"→"融合-集聚型"的融合发展路径解决业务融合问题,具体措施包括鼓励商贸企业扩大物流业务外包、培育城乡商贸物流龙头企业、深入推进共同配送项目等方面。     

论党百年奋斗历史经验之“坚持人民至上”的四重逻辑--基于对党的十九届六中全会《决议》的整体性解读

中国共产党成立至今已走过百年历程,积累了宝贵的“坚持人民至上”的历史经验,彰显了四重逻辑:来源于马克思、恩格斯等经典作家和以毛泽东同志、邓小平同志、江泽民同志、胡锦涛同志、习近平同志为主要代表的中国共产党人的“为民”思想,孕育于中华优秀传统文化、中华民族精神、毛泽东的文化思想和中国特色社会主义文化理论体系,着眼于我国社会主要矛盾和国际形势的新变化、新特征,目的是推进全面建设社会主义现代化国家的历史进程和不断推动构建人类命运共同体新局面。这四重逻辑赋予党百年奋斗历史经验之“坚持人民至上”永恒的精神底色,成为新时代开创中国特色社会主义伟大事业的宝贵精神财富。     

充分发挥宗教在促进社会和谐方面的积极作用

构建和谐社会本身包含了宗教自身的和谐,以及宗教与社会各有关方面的和谐。高度重视宗教与社会的关系问题,把握构建社会主义和谐社会中的宗教,发挥宗教和谐思想在促进社会和谐方面的作用,从“和为贵”、“和而不同”、“求同存异”的角度,以政治上团结合作、信仰上相互尊重为前提,充分发挥宗教在促进社会和谐方面的积极作用。     

论单位经济犯罪的概念、构成要件及其刑事责任

单位经济犯罪是指刑法规定的单位为了谋取非法经济利益且在构成单位行为的情况下实施的严重破坏市场经济秩序、依法应受刑法处罚的行为。单位经济犯罪的构成要件,是刑法规定的、决定构成要件单位经济犯罪所必需的一切客观要件和主观要件的综合。在具备单位经济犯罪构成要件的情况下,单位经济犯罪即成立,单位经济犯罪刑事责任即产生。单位经济犯罪可产生双重刑事责任,单位经济犯罪刑事责任的承担方式主要实行双罚制,单位经济犯罪刑事责任的承担形式和内容具有独特性。     

社会转型期档案信息伦理建设问题探析

信息伦理学是20世纪80年代在国外兴起的一门新兴学科。档案信息化及网络化发展衍生出诸多档案信息伦理失范现象,探究档案信息伦理失范原因是当前亟待解决的问题。在此基础上方能找出建设档案信息伦理的良策,以便于快捷、高效地指导我们工作。     

论死刑赦免制度之激活

赦免制度在我国久未启用,而激活我国的死刑赦免制度不仅具有政治、社会、司法价值,而且对于缓和国家之间的紧张关系,改善我国的国际形象,消除社会矛盾,减少死刑误判都具有重要意义。出于国防、外交等国家利益以及人道主义考量,对死刑犯可以考虑赦免,但对于社会危害性极大,造成极其严重后果的死刑犯则不能赦免。     

论房地产信贷业务的风险控制——以大连地区商业银行为例

近年来,大连住房建设投资加速扩张,住房消费需求强劲释放．以住宅为主的房地产市场空前繁荣,房地产贷款已经成为商业银行的主要贷款投向之一．房地产信贷业务得到快速发展。同时,大连地区房地产企业对银行贷款的依存度太高．一旦房地产经济发生波动．企业的经营风险将转变成银行的金融风险。面对大连地区当前快速上涨的房价．金融机构应该采取怎样的措施积极地控制风险将成为房地产信贷业务的主要内容。     

V—ed的认知阐释与语法教学

依据原型范畴理论,V—ed（英语过去时）分别表过去、表虚拟和表口气委婉的三种不同用法是得益于隐喻概念的形成和使用的,其认知理据为空间上的距离通过人的隐喻认知机制分别被隐喻到时间域、事物或事件的真假性概念和心理认知域。在语法教学中,可以充分应用原型范畴理论。
