Back to the future of ‘one logic or two’?: forward to the past of ‘anarchy versus racist hierarchy’?

This article argues that while the attempt by Alex Callinicos to construct a non-reductionist approach for theorizing the international is brave, it falls short of the target due, in part, to the failure to look in the right place for a non-reductionist Marxism. In taking us ‘back to the future’ of the debate on ‘one logic or two?’ (‘economics’ or ‘geopolitics and economics’), the quest can at best result only in the construction of a thin materialist reductionism. This article develops an approach that takes norms and (racist) identity seriously—one that simultaneously reconfigures our conception of the international as a hierarchy rather than as a pure anarchy, thereby prompting a reconsideration of Callinicos's commitment to a neorealist anarchic conception of the international. This article closes by suggesting that the Eurocentrism of much Marxist International Relations scholarship obscures the role of non-Western resistance in the making of global politics.     

论刑事诉讼中的应诉权

刑事诉讼从本质上讲,是一种对抗意味十足的诉讼活动,应诉权与公诉权(控诉权)的全面对抗正是刑事诉讼本质的体现。刑事程序的展开也是在这种对抗中完成的。当然,在刑事诉讼中研究应诉权有必要厘清应诉权与人权、应诉权与防御权,应诉权与诉权之间的关系。此外,确立应诉权与公诉权(控诉权)的对抗关系,必然会带来刑事诉讼观念、刑事诉讼构造、刑事侦查体制以及审判方式的变革与调整。     

监狱工作宗旨论析——基于执法为民理念

文章基于执法为民理念,阐释对监狱工作宗旨的理解。文章认为,监狱工作宗旨根源于党的根本宗旨,其实质是为人民服务;“为罪犯服务”的提法因其政治上、法律上的谬误而有悖于监狱工作宗旨,而“为罪犯改造服务”的提法因其逻辑上的含混而无法正确诠释监狱工作宗旨;监狱警察履行监狱工作宗旨,应当做到牢固树立人民公仆意识,忠诚执法,自觉服务于构建社会主义和谐社会。     

Toxicologic findings in the USS Iowa disaster.

The toxicologic results from the 47 victims of the explosion on the USS Iowa are presented. Good correlation between carboxyhemoglobin saturations and cause of death was found. There were no correlations between blood cyanide concentrations and causes of death. Volatile analysis suggested postmortem ethanol production rather than antemortem ethanol ingestion. No drugs except nicotine were detected in any of the victims.     

对我国《民法通则》关于起诉引起诉讼时效中断规定的反思与重构

我国《民法通则》将起诉作为诉讼时效中断的事由之一,于中断效力结束时诉讼时效期间重新计算,这就意味着对于经过诉讼由人民法院生效判决所确认的民事权利的保护仍可以适用诉讼时效。但依我国《民事诉讼法》的规定,对民事权利的保护因起诉进入诉讼程序后应适用诉讼法上的期限制度,从而使《民法通则》规定的诉讼时效的适用失去了可能。对这一矛盾的解决有两种方案可供选择,一是采大陆法系各国民法的做法,取消民事诉讼法对申请强制执行期限的规定,统一适用诉讼时效制度;二是采取我国目前的做法,民法诉讼时效制度适用于当事人起诉前阶段,当事人起诉后则适用诉讼法上的期限制度,同时将起诉作为诉讼时效的终结事由而不是中断事由。两种方案各有优点和不足,我国未来民法典对此应做出科学的选择。     

Organic impurity profiling of 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) tablets seized in The Netherlands.

In this study, a new method was developed for the impurity profiling of illicit MDMA tablets. The extraction efficiency, linearity, repeatability and reproducibility of the method were evaluated. Eighty two MDMA tablets coming from presumed unrelated large seizures in 2004 (n >500 tablets) were analyzed by gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) in order to assess the discrimination power of the method. The latter was found to be practical, robust, relatively easy to perform, highly discriminative and yielding good chromatography. In addition, some new impurities were detected and identified. Their chemical structures and mass spectra are reported.
