基于行政程序法的行政审批制度创新

我国在加入“世贸组织”以后,中央政府和全国各省、市政府都下大力量进行了不同程度的行政审批制度改革。统一的行政程序法典的制定与实施,是中国行政法制现代化的必然要求和结果。本文基于行政程序法在中国国情背景下提出了行政审批制度创新的策略。     

坚持“德育”与“心育”相统一

贯彻十七大“注重人文关怀和心理疏导”精神,应实现“德育”与“心育”的统一。构建“德育”与“心育”统一的目标导向机制;构建“德育”与“心育”相互融合的内容体系;构建“德育”与“心育”交互作用的实现机制。     

恐怖犯罪案件法律适用的几问题

<中华人民共和国刑法修正案(三)>(以下简称<刑法修正案(三)>对我国现行刑法典有关恐怖犯罪的规定进行了修改和补充,主要体现在:取消了三个罪名、扩充了两个罪名、增加了三个新罪名.该修正案的颁布也引起了以危险方法危害公共安全罪内涵及外延的变化,新旧罪名、罪刑关系的变化,同时,修正案本身也存在某些缺陷和疏漏,这些问题需要在法律适用中引起注意.

Evaluation of anthropometric accuracy and reliability using different three-dimensional scanning systems

The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy and reliability of standard anthropometric linear measurements made with three different three-dimensional scanning systems namely laser surface scanning (Minolta Vivid 900), cone beam computed tomography (CBCT), 3D stereo-photogrammetry (Di3D system) and to compare them to physical linear measurements. The study sample consisted of seven cadaver heads. The reliability and accuracy were assessed by means of a series of 21 standardized, linear facial measurements derived from 15 landmarks taken both directly on the face with a set of digital callipers and indirectly from a three-dimensional (3D) soft tissue surface models derived from CBCT, laser surface scans and 3D photographs. Statistical analysis for the reliability was done by means of intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs). Accuracy was determined by means of the absolute error (AE) and absolute percentage error (APE) by comparison of the 3D measurements to the physical anthropometrical measurements. All the 3D scanning systems were proved to be very reliable (ICC>0.923-0.999) when compared to the physical measurements (ICC; 0.964-0.999). Only one CBCT measurement (t-g) and one Di3D measurement (t-sn left) had a mean AE of more than 1.5mm. There are clear potential benefits of using 3D measurements appose to direct measurements in the assessment of facial deformities. Measurements recorded by the three 3D systems appeared to be both sufficiently accurate and reliable enough for research and clinical use.     

Concordance study between the AmpFlSTR MiniFiler PCR amplification kit and conventional STR typing kits

The AmpFlSTR MiniFiler polymerase chain reaction amplification kit developed by Applied Biosystems enables size reduction on eight of the larger STR loci amplified in the Identifiler kit, which will aid recovery of information from highly degraded DNA samples. The MiniFiler Kit amplifies CSF1PO, FGA, D2S1338, D7S820, D13S317, D16S539, D18S51, and D21S11 as well as the sex-typing locus amelogenin. A total of 1308 samples were evaluated with both the MiniFiler and Identifiler STR kits: 449 African American, 445 Caucasian, 207 Hispanic, and 207 Asian individuals. Full concordance between Identifiler and MiniFiler Kits was observed in 99.7% (10,437 out of 10,464) STR allele calls compared. The 27 differences seen are listed in Table 1 and encompass the loci D13S317 (n = 14) and D16S539 (n = 10) as well as D18S51 (n = 1), D7S820 (n = 1), and CSF1PO (n = 1). Genotyping discrepancies between the Identifiler and MiniFiler kits were confirmed by reamplification of the samples and further testing using the PowerPlex 16 kit in many cases. DNA sequence analysis was also performed in order to understand the nature of the genetic variations causing the allele dropout or apparent repeat unit shift.

第三党的创建与评析

由于蒋介石的独裁统治、李立三“左倾”机会主义错误路线以及第三党的自身不足,第三党在创建初期遭受挫折。在创建前后第三党对当时中国革命基本问题和孙中山“三民主义”理论方向提出自己的政治主张及思想,其中有偏激性和阶级局限性的一面,同时也有正确的、革命性的一面,为推动中国民主化进程做出了积极贡献,在中国革命史上具有重要地位。     

Age assessment by magnetic resonance imaging of the knee: a preliminary study

The authors developed an original magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) staging system for epiphyseal fusion of growth plate maturation of the knee and evaluated its reliability and validity for age assessment of living individuals. A total of 290 MRI scans of the knee were reviewed retrospectively in patients aged from 10 to 30 years old (138 males, 152 females). Five original MRI stages were defined to assess the degree of maturation of the distal femoral and proximal tibial epiphyses. Intra-observer variability was excellent and inter-observer variability was good, demonstrating the reliability and the validity of this original MRI staging system. In both sexes, the changes of growth plates (proximal tibial or distal femoral) were associated with age (p<0.001). Our results agreed with classic data on skeletal maturation of the knee, with globally earlier maturation in females than in males, and also earlier maturation of the proximal tibial epiphysis than of the distal femoral epiphysis. MRI of the knee is an efficient non-invasive method of age assessment, without the disadvantage of X-ray exposure. Further studies with larger groups are needed to support our results.
