Ingestion of pointed objects in a complex suicide

A 51-year-old woman with a psychiatric history of depression and drug abuse was found hanged in her bedroom. The ligature was a scarf attached to the door handle. The autopsy findings suggested that two methods of suicide had been used one after the other. In the first stage, numerous nails, pins and needles were swallowed; in the second stage, the suicide was completed by hanging.     

Ehewohnung und Ehescheidung

Das FamR?G 2009 bringt einerseits vielf?ltige Gestaltungsm?glichkeiten für das Schicksal der Ehewohnung im Fall einer Scheidung und andererseits vielf?ltige rechtliche Schwierigkeiten, was die Grenzen der privatautonomen Rechtsgestaltung betrifft. Die Autoren kommen zu Ergebnissen, die von den bisherigen Stellungnahmen teilweise erheblich abweichen, aber mit dem Gesetz besser in Einklang zu bringen sind.     

Grenzenlose Freiheit für den EuGH?

Der Beitrag untersucht, inwieweit der EuGH bei der Herausarbeitung ungeschriebener Rechtsgrundsätze zu einer wertenden Rechtsvergleichung des mitgliedstaatlichen Rechts verpflichtet ist, welche Anforderungen an eine solche Rechtsvergleichung zu stellen sind und ob bzw inwieweit der EuGH durch das Ergebnis einer solchen Rechtsvergleichung gebunden wird.     

Direct comparison of post-28-cycle PCR purification and modified capillary electrophoresis methods with the 34-cycle “low copy number” (LCN) method for analysis of trace forensic DNA samples

The investigation of samples with low amounts of template DNA remains at the forefront of forensic DNA research and technology as it becomes increasingly important to gain DNA profile information from exceedingly trace levels of DNA. Previous studies have demonstrated that it is possible to obtain short tandem repeat (STR) profiles from <100 pg of template DNA by increasing the number of amplification cycles from 28 to 34, a modification often referred to as “low copy number” or LCN analysis. In this study, we have optimised post-PCR purification techniques applied after only 28 cycles of PCR, as well as using modified capillary electrophoresis injection conditions and have investigated the progressive application of these enhanced approaches. This paper reviews the characteristics of the profiles obtained by these methods compared with those obtained on the same samples after 34-cycle PCR. We observed comparable sensitivity to 34-cycle PCR in terms of the number of profiles with evidence of DNA and the number of allelic peaks per profile and we noted improved peak height and area magnitude with some sample types. Certain parameters reported to be adversely affected in 34-cycle LCN investigations, such as non-donor allele peaks and increased stutter peak ratio, were reduced by this approach. There are a number of advantages for trace samples in progressing from the standard 28-cycle process to the post-PCR processing method as compared to 34-cycle PCR method, including reduced sample consumption, reduced number of PCR amplifications required, and a staged approach to sample processing and profile interpretation.

欧盟视角下外空活动中发明的专利保护

世界许多国家对外空研究和在外空对地球的研究都给予优先发展的权利。这一发展趋势连同新近不断增强的外空活动商业化趋势,私人公司积极参与各种不同研究开发项目的必要性以及已经公布的创立一个或者多个永久性月球空间站的计划,都将使得外空活动中的专利保护越来越受到世界各国的重视。根据这种理念,如果一项受专利保护的发明在没有取得专利所有者同意的情况下在外空活动中被使用,那么当前对此最首要的任务就是建立一个明确的法律框架以确保其必要的法律确定性。
