Toxicology and Circumstances of Completed Suicide by Means Other than Overdose*

Abstract: To determine the prevalence and circumstances of psychoactive substances amongst nonoverdose completed suicide, 1436 consecutive cases autopsied at the NSW Department of Forensic Medicine over the period 1/1/1997–12/31/2006 were analyzed. Substances were detected in 67.2% of cases, and illicit drugs in 20.1%. Alcohol was present in 40.6% of cases. Males were more likely to be positive for alcohol, cannabis, and psychostimulants, and females for pharmaceuticals. Illicits were associated with younger age. Alcohol was most prominent amongst toxicity cases, as were opioids, psychostimulants amongst gunshot cases, and pharmaceuticals amongst drownings. Cases in which drug and alcohol histories were noted were more likely to have a substance detected. Alcohol was more common where a suicide note was left and where relationship problems were involved. Pharmaceuticals were more common where a previous attempt was noted. Licit and illicit substances are strongly associated with suicide, even when the method does not involve drug overdose.     

欧美媒体对“中国模式”的评价及其启示

在中国经济迅速发展和国际影响力扩大的同时，西方经济发展模式和强权政治却在世界各地不断遭遇挫折，北京奥运会和全球金融危机将中国推向了国际舞台的中心。“中国模式”开始成为一个备受关注的话题，其中欧美媒体对“中国模式”展开了比较全面系统的讨论和评价，表明了“华盛顿共识”的局限性和面临的危机，同时也是改革开放以来中国国际影响力不断提升的客观反映。同时，欧美媒体对“中国模式”的评价也反映出中国发展过程中还存在不少国内问题，中国模式还未成型、不可复制，对此我们必须保持清醒的认识。

网上侦查视阈中的公民隐私权保护研究

互联网所创造的无边界的虚拟空间催生着侦查信息化的发展,使侦查方式由传统趋于现代。侦查的核心是信息,而互联网恰能让各种与侦查相关的信息得到高效的管理和应用,进而提高办案效率。运用网络信息侦查破案已成为诸多国家刑事侦查的重要途径。然而,当网络监控、网络通缉、IP地址查找、网络侦查陷阱等一系列高科技的侦查手段赋予侦查机关强大的侦破能力时,公民的隐私权却遭受着前所未有的打击。网上侦查与公民隐私权存在着天然的冲突性,但二者又必须在控制犯罪与保障人权、实体真实与程序正义的相互冲突的价值之间寻求动态的平衡。也惟有此,公民隐私权方可得到最有力的保护。     

统筹兼顾根本方法的价值特色

就价值关系的全面性而言，统筹兼顾从思维与社会层面显露出双重价值关系，即形式上它的存在与我们党需要之间的关系，内容上它涉及中国特色社会主义事业中的各种重大而全面的关系；就价值尺度的科学性而言，统筹兼顾因应了整塑社会各种利益关系的时代需要，是推动中国特色社会主义事业不断向前的深层动力；就价值环境的和谐性而言，统筹兼顾强调发展中国特色社会主义建设事业，既要注重内因，又要考虑外因，一定要努力统筹好“国内”与“国际”的和谐问题；就价值实践的辩证性而言，统筹兼顾体现了两点论与重点论的统一，也揭示了质量互变规律的深刻内容，是我们深入贯彻落实科学发展观的现实途径。认真把握统筹兼顾的价值特色，对于不断丰富和发展马克思主义理论，有着重要的时代价值。     

TAIWAN AND HONG KONG: CHINA'S POLICIES AND PROSPECTS (Review Article)

The author defines state-building as a process of increasing the capabilities within a society for the benefit of its population, noting that, traditionally, in Afghanistan villages were run through consent, though the state has usually preferred force. He then examines the various factors said to inhibit state-building – geography, class, the warlords, ethnicity and political Islam – drawing relevant comparisons with other South Asian states. His conclusion is that it has indeed been most difficult to try to build a functioning state in Afghanistan, partly because of the war, but partly because force is no substitute for consent.
