嗜尸性昆虫群落演替及其法医学应用研究进展

法医昆虫学是近年来法庭科学中发展较快的学科之一,而利用昆虫学证据来推断死亡时间或称死后经历时间(PMI)是其最主要的应用。当尸体PMI达一周以上,无法通过蝇蛆生长发育历期来推算时,仍可以借助嗜尸性昆虫群落演替规律来判断。嗜尸性昆虫群落演替规律与尸体腐败过程息息相关,法医昆虫学家通过对尸体腐败进行人为分期,能够辨别出不同的演替波次,从而达到推断PMI的目的。本文对嗜尸性昆虫群落演替研究与应用进行了综述,并分析了未来研究趋势,希望能为相关研究和实践应用提供参考。     

约翰·奥斯丁法哲学再探

约翰·奥斯丁是现代西方法理学中的重要人物,分析法学的创始人,以提出"法律命令说"而著名,他的法哲学长期以来一直受到人们的批判,这些批判主要来自于两大阵营:一是形形色色的自然法学家;另一是一些后起的法律实证主义者。这些批判影响巨大,以致遮蔽了奥斯丁法哲学的本来面目。其实,"法律命令说"并非奥斯丁法哲学的核心与标志,纵使人们批驳倒了"法律命令说",对奥斯丁的法哲学整体来说损害也并不大。奥斯丁的代表性思想是:倡导对法律进行分析性研究,主张建构起一般法理学与法律教义学,最终使法学成为一门科学。在众多的批判之下,奥斯丁的上述代表性思想不仅没有失去生命力,反而保持着旺盛的生命力,以致在现代西方法理学中,奥斯丁仍然是一个人们无法绕过的思想家。     

Testing EU Foreign Policy in the Middle East

Since 2011, the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries have been confronted with increasing challenges stemming from the Arab uprisings. Internally, they have had to face popular mobilisation and discontent, triggering a mixed reaction, including economic handouts, patronage, limited political and economic reforms as well as military intervention and repression. Externally, they have actively intervened in support of the protest movements in Syria and Libya and enthusiastically facilitated President Saleh's departure from Yemen. At first sight these responses may seem schizophrenic. Upon closer inspection, however, managing instability by shoring up friendly regimes on the inside and expanding the GCC's influence outside represent two sides of the same coin.     

Economic voting in Portuguese municipal elections

This paper analyses the impact of economic conditions on Portuguese municipal electoral outcomes. We use two extensive datasets to estimate an economic voting model which accounts for the possibility that different levels of government have different levels of responsibility for economic outcomes and for clarity of government responsibility. The empirical results indicate that the performance of the national economy is important especially if local governments are of the same party as the central government. The municipal situation is also relevant particularly in scenarios of greater clarity of national and sub-national government responsibility.     

量化分级管理制度信息公示的法理分析

量化分级管理制度作为卫生部监督管理餐饮服务行业和公共场所的一项重要举措已取得显著的成效,也成为我国建设法治国家、践行社会主义法治理念的一个具体着眼点。量化分级管理的信息公示作为一个重要的行政管理监管方法,有着其坚实的法理基础。本文从量化分级管理的信息公示与政府信息公开的关系入手,从主权在民和公民知情权这两个重要理论方面分析量化分级信息公示的法理内涵,为加快建立诚信社会,落实我国依法治国、执法为民、公平正义的法治理念做贡献。     

鹿结核病流行株融合基因Rv3872-Rv3874-Rv3875的原核表达

以本实验室保存的鹿体内分离并鉴定的结核病流行株为模板,利用重叠延伸剪接技术设计融合基因的引物,扩增融合基因Rv3872-Rv3874-Rv3875,构建重组表达质粒pGEX-4T-1-Rv3872-Rv3874-Rv3875;重组表达质粒被转化入大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)后,IPTG诱导表达,并采用谷胱甘肽琼脂糖亲和层析方法对目的蛋白进行纯化。基因测序结果显示,融合基因Rv3872-Rv3874-Rv3875的序列与GenBank中序列的符合率为99.89%。SDS-PAGE分析显示,融合基因在大肠杆菌中成功被诱导表达,获得以可溶形式表达的融合蛋白,该蛋白的分子质量约为60ku。Western-blot鉴定结果显示,纯化好的融合蛋白能与鹿结核病的阳性血清发生反应,说明该融合蛋白具有良好的反应原性,这一结果为它在鹿结核病血清学诊断中的应用奠定了试验基础。     

Psychological and behavioral adjustment in female youths with high or low psychopathic traits

The aim of the present study was to analyze the role of psychopathic traits in female juvenile delinquency. Using a sample of 236 young females from the Juvenile Detention Centers of the Portuguese Ministry of Justice and schools in the Lisbon area, a group of female youths with high psychopathic traits (n = 118; M = 15.84 years of age; range = 14–18 years of age) and a group of female youths with low psychopathic traits (n = 118; M = 15.77 years of age; range = 14–18 years of age) were formed based on the Portuguese version of the Antisocial Process Screening Device-Self-report (APSD-SR). The results showed that young females with high psychopathic traits start engaging in criminal activities and come into contact with the justice system earlier in life; exhibit higher levels of behavioral problems, conduct disorder, delinquent behaviors and serious criminality; and demonstrate lower levels of self-esteem and pro-social behavior. The importance of some variables in predicting group membership (high versus low psychopathic traits) was established through a binary logistic regression. Our findings reinforce the importance of the psychopathy construct for the early identification of potentially high-risk female youths and for the assessment of female youths who have already come into contact with the judicial system.     

Victims of Intimate Partner Violence. The Physician’s Intervention in the Portuguese National Health Service

This study intends to characterize the current situation in Portugal regarding intimate partner violence (IPV) disclosure by the victims and its detection and report by the National Health Service (NHS) professionals, in order to promote the health and protection of the former. We interviewed 101 adult victims of IPV who sought care in the NHS. The results reveal that a relevant number of victims did not disclose the abuse to NHS physicians (18.8 %). According to the victims, in 57.9 % of the cases, physicians did not suspect IPV. In cases where there actually was suspicion (based on specific evidence and markers) or where there was no concealment of such type of violence, 52.3 % of the physicians did not inform the victims about the risks this situation posed to them, 89.8 % did not mention their obligation to denounce the case (as it is foreseen by the Portuguese law), and the number of injuries they described was lower than the one described in the forensic medical reports.     

可持续发展视角下的地方环境资源保护法制建设研究——以黑龙江省大庆市为例

可持续发展是体现现代文明注重长远发展的一种经济发展模式,为保护地方所辖地域的环境资源,建设生态宜居型城市,可持续发展必须成为地方政府保障城市经济建设的基本战略方针。而针对地方环境资源目前所面临的严峻形势,建立健全与现阶段经济社会发展相适应的生态环境法制体系成为亟待解决的焦点问题。     

和谐与秩序: 亲属拒证权的理论之维简

刑事诉讼中赋予犯罪嫌疑人、被告人的亲属以拒证权是程序正义的内在要求,也是我国法律文化的优良传统与现代世界各国诉讼立法的普遍做法,但由于历史、政治等原因亲属拒证权一直未见于我国现行的刑事诉讼法。可以通过对东西方容隐法制的比较与分析,抽象出两者共通的和谐与秩序的价值追求,以期为当今中国建立起符合实际的亲属拒证权规则提供可资参评的理论支撑与根本理念。
