“The Spectacle of Fearsome Acts”: Crime in the Melting P(l)ot in <Emphasis Type="Italic">Gangs of New York</Emphasis>

This paper explores the multi-layered representations of violence and crime in the recent Hollywood film Gangs of New York [Scorcese (2003) Miramax]. We use our exploration of this film to suggest that popular culture, even through its most mainstream products, can be seen as a critical criminological space where alternative views of law, crime and the state are made available. Rather than understanding Hollywood movies simply as vehicles for disseminating conventional mores, we suggest that they can furnish critical (and complex) points of view on law and crime and that the project of a critical criminology can be strengthened by engaging more forthrightly with these ubiquitous cultural forms.     

边缘无浆体MSP5蛋白基因的克隆及原核表达

参照已发表的边缘无浆体主要表面蛋白5(MSP5)基因的核苷酸序列,设计了1对特异性引物,以边缘无浆体基因组DNA为模板,采用PCR技术扩增获得了MSP5蛋白基因。将其克隆到pGEM-T Easy载体,并进行测序分析。结果表明,克隆的MSP5基因与GenBank上登录的Florida株MSP5蛋白基因的序列同源性达98.6%,编码氨基酸的同源性为99.0%,并且该序列包含有完整的开放阅读框,大小为633 bp。将该基因亚克隆入原核表达载体pGEX-4T-1,构建了重组原核表达载体。将其转化到DH5α宿主菌中,用IPTG进行诱导表达,实现了融合表达,表达产物的分子质量为45 ku。Western-blot分析表明,此表达产物能够被抗边缘无浆体阳性血清所识别。

宁夏羊胃肠道线虫对现行驱虫药的抗药性调查

采用粪便虫卵减少试验对宁夏地区所属灵武、贺兰、盐池、吴忠、中宁、中卫、永宁和银川市郊8个县(市)的12个绵羊场、6个山羊场进行了丙硫苯咪唑和阿维菌素抗药性的随机调查。结果表明:在用丙硫苯咪唑调查的10个绵羊场和6个山羊场中,虫卵减少率在95%以下和95%的置信域下限在90%以下的有山羊场2个、绵羊场2个,证明对丙硫苯咪唑有抗药性;1个绵羊场和1个山羊场的虫卵减少率是96.3%、95.9%,但95%置信域的下限在90%以下,具有抗药性可疑;山羊群中丙硫苯咪唑的抗药性为33.3%,绵羊群为20.0%。用同样的方法调查了1个山羊场和5个绵羊场(其中有4个羊场曾执行了丙硫苯咪唑的试验),查出1个山羊场和1个绵羊场对阿维菌素具有抗药性可疑,其虫卵减少率分别为97.3%和95.5%,置信域下限在90%以下。揭示了宁夏地区羊消化道线虫对现行驱虫药的抗药状态,为今后防治提供了依据。

做好火灾保险推动火灾预防

火灾已经成为最经常、最普遍威胁公共安全、经济建设和社会稳定的一种灾害。因此,做好火灾保险与火灾预防是经济和社会发展的必然需求。     

现代性重建进程中的法治变革趋向

随着现代性的时代发展,现代性反思和重建已成为一个必须直面的问题,正是在这一境遇下,现代法治也开始发生了重要变革,形成了法律多元主义的规则秩序、互动平衡的功能取向、反思回应的程序主义诉求等发展走向。因此,我们应立足于现代性反思和重建的时代关怀,积极推进中国的法治进程。     

A Reasonable Balance of Law and Sentiment: Social Order in Democratic Taiwan from the Policeman's Point of View

Taiwan's political democratization has engendered a contradiction in its legal regime: consolidation of rule of law at the macro-institutional level is matched by the persistent marginalization of legal authority in ground-level social practices. This article uses an ethnographic study of neighborhood police to explore certain practical and structural elements involved in maintaining this contradictory sociopolitical order. I examine some of the processes through which state authority is invoked and applied to the policing of public space, focusing on the ideals of legitimacy that animate these processes. The argument of the article is that historical and cultural factors embodied in contemporary Taiwan's "idea of police"—exemplified in the trope of a balance between reason, law, and sentiment—are crucial to understanding how solidification of the rule of law within state institutions is kept within the boundaries of a social sensibility that does not take law as the last word.
