Abgrenzung von Versuch und Vollendung als bloßes Strafzumessungsproblem

Entgegen der bisherigen Judikatur wird durch einen Mangel an Feststellungen zur Abgrenzung zwischen versuchter und vollendeter Tat nicht der Nichtigkeitsgrund des § 281 Abs 1 Z 10 StPO, sondern jener nach Z 11 zweiter Fall des § 281 Abs 1 StPO hergestellt. Die rechtliche Bedeutung der Abgrenzung zwischen Versuch und Vollendung beschr?nkt sich auf die Frage des Vorliegens des Milderungsgrundes des § 34 Abs 1 Z 13 StGB, womit darauf bezogene Feststellungen Strafzumessungstatsachen betreffen und solcherart dem Regelungsbereich des § 281 Abs 1 Z 11 zweiter Fall StPO zugeh?ren. Der OGH hat im Falle einer Nichtigkeit aus Z 11 die M?glichkeit, nach Aufhebung des Strafausspruchs auch im Tats?chlichen in der Sache selbst zu entscheiden und solcherart eine überflüssige Wiederholung des erstinstanzlichen Verfahrens zu vermeiden.

Analyse von heroinproben mit der Kapillargaschromatographie. Vergleich von Glaskapillartrennsäule und gepackter Säule

In forensic examination of illicit heroin samples high-resolution capillary gas chromatography is compared with gas chromatography with packed columns. Separation efficiency, reproducibility of qualitative and quantitative determinations and stability of the columns are examined.A practical method with silylation of the samples is presented which allows safe identification and quantification of many various compounds contained in illicit heroin samples. The gas chromatographic data of 35 substances (opium alkaloids and synthetic derivatives, adulterants and diluents) are listed. The method also allows the quantification of morphine, opium, and cocaine samples.     

Comparative measurement of cocaine and its metabolites in blood, cerebrospinal fluid and the brain

This study investigated the transfer of cocaine and its metabolites from plasma into the cerebrospinal fluid. The concentration of cocaine and its metabolites in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid was determined by radioimmunoassay because this method only, the sum of the drug and metabolites restored. In sheeps a sublethal cocaine hydrochloride dose (2,4 mg/kg b. wt.) was administered intraarterial daily for up to 8 days. In the first hours after administration the concentration of cocaine in cerebrospinal fluid was low. It is supposed that a barrier against the transport of cocaine from blood into cerebrospinal fluid exists. After intrathecal administration a delay of transport could from CSF to blood not be seen.     

Morphometrische Untersuchungen bei stenosierender Koronarsklerose und ihre Bedeutung für die Bewertung konkurrierender Todesursachen

Coronary sclerosis is generally supposed to be the most important factor for coronary thrombosis, myocardial infarction and coronary heart death. Stenosing coronary sclerosis may be postmortally documented by angiography and morphometry. It is possible to obtain sufficient morphological data to suggest acute cardiac insufficiency, if the maximum grade of stenoses as a functional parameter and the heart weight are regarded in addition to the quantitative results of the three main branches of the coronary arteries (lumen and intima areas).Generally the cardiac results of autopsy are used individually and subjectively for the explanation of the cause of death. The conclusiveness of these results of autopsy depends on the circumstances of death and the existence of further pathological findings. Competing causes of death may exist in the form of illnesses, injuries, alcoholic and drug effects, physical strain and emotional stress or medical provisions. The quantitative valuation of the cardiac findings with a critical limit for an acute coronary death permits a more exact interpretation of such competing causes of death. This method of examination may also reveal an unpresumed competing cause of death, for example an intoxication. This was demonstrated by four autopsy cases.
