测定血痕MN型的血清制备

用免疫吸收方法制备的抗-M与抗-N血清,检测10天内的不相应的MN血型血痕和大约2年的相应MN型血痕,凡能获得特异性结果的抗血清才能用于血痕的MN血痕测定。否则,只能用于测定血液的MN血型。     

Inferring ancestral origin using a single multiplex assay of ancestry-informative marker SNPs

Tests that infer the ancestral origin of a DNA sample have considerable potential in the development of forensic tools that can help to guide crime investigation. We have developed a single-tube 34-plex SNP assay for the assignment of ancestral origin by choosing ancestry-informative markers (AIMs) exhibiting highly contrasting allele frequency distributions between the three major population-groups. To predict ancestral origin from the profiles obtained, a classification algorithm was developed based on maximum likelihood. Sampling of two populations each from African, European and East Asian groups provided training sets for the algorithm and this was tested using the CEPH Human Genome Diversity Panel. We detected negligible theoretical and practical error for assignments to one of the three groups analyzed with consistently high classification probabilities, even when using reduced subsets of SNPs. This study shows that by choosing SNPs exhibiting marked allele frequency differences between population-groups a practical forensic test for assigning the most likely ancestry can be achieved from a single multiplexed assay.     

Federal employees health benefits: payment of premiums for periods of leave without pay or insufficient pay. Final rule

The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is issuing final regulations to rewrite certain sections of the Federal regulations in plain language. These final regulations require Federal agencies to provide employees entering leave without pay (LWOP) status, or whose pay is insufficient to cover their Federal Employees Health Benefits (FEHB) premium payments, written notice of their opportunity to continue their FEHB coverage. Employees who want to continue their enrollment must sign a form agreeing to pay their premiums directly to their agency on a current basis, or to incur a debt to be withheld from their future salary. The purpose of this final regulation is to rewrite the existing regulations to ensure that employees who are entering LWOP status, or whose pay is insufficient to pay their FEHB premiums, are fully informed when they decide whether or not to continue their FEHB coverage.     

论WTO法下的中国法制变化

中国入世后在WTO法的约束下,较快地完成了将WTO法转化为大量国内法的艰巨任务。中国入世所引起的国内法制的直接变化和法治观念的间接变化,不亚于30多年前中国法制的重建。WTO法所包括的协定尚无具有国际法效力的中文本,对于国内实施带来诸多困难,但是,中国依然通过对应式、归纳式和分散式三种国内立法转化WTO法而履行了实施义务,并由此促进了中国法制透明度的增强与法治观念的变化。诚然,就国际法与国内法的关系而言,为了进一步适应WTO法,中国《宪法》的缔约规定亟待修改,WTO法在国内的司法解释应予进一步规范,立法解释与司法解释的关系应予理顺。     

中国民事诉讼立案程序的功能与结构

我国现行诉讼程序在总体框架上呈现结构分立而功能交汇的特征,立案程序在司法行政管理体系上独立于审判程序而在功能上与审判程序混为一体,在当下大调解模式下更与诉外解纷程序之间混沌不清。本文以区分司法的社会责任与职业责任为基础,强调立案程序在区分咨询性质的起诉与起诉意向明确的起诉时不同态度,同时确立了我国诉讼要件审查标准,即须有争议存在,且争议具有民事性(平等主体之间)和法律性,从而为转型时期的中国将非典型案件逐步转化为具有可诉性的案件提供可资参考的抽象标准。     

代理:体系整合与概念梳理——以公开原则为中心

公开原则是大陆法系代理制度的基础,其体现为显名代理与隐名代理。公开原则的意义在于克服意思表示理论上的障碍,使相对人知悉其交易的对方当事人,从而保护相对人的利益。我国法律中规定了显名代理和隐名代理,但《合同法》第402条对隐名代理的规定,其适用范围过分狭窄,未来其应当置于民法典总则当中。《合同法》第403条规定的不披露本人的代理虽然也符合公开原则,但其以违约行为为前提,未来应当继续规定在合同法分则中,不能适用代理的一般规则。我国法律中规定的代理性质上均为直接代理,关于代理的规范性质上为归属规范而非效力规范。     

跨WTO体制的规则冲突及其解决路径

越来越多的国际条约包含贸易限制措施,这些贸易限制措施被用来追求各种非贸易目标或价值,比如环境、人权、劳工标准等,这种做法将增加WTO规则与其他国际法规则之间相互冲突的可能性。但是,国际法中还找不到任何明确的方法以确定贸易法与人权法、环境法或海洋法等的关系。不过,WTO规则与其他国际法规则之间跨体制的规则冲突仍可通过协调一致的解释而避免,这是因为WTO的规定中经常使用一般的、广泛的条款,为其解释留下了余地,使WTO裁决机构得以考虑到其他国际义务。在解释WTO的规定时,可采用国际法推定为不冲突的方法避免冲突;在明显可看出一个WTO协定的用语具有演变的意义、带有一些内在弹性时,还可以考虑使用演变解释的方法。     

植入式广告的法律规制研究

植入式广告作为一种新颖的营销方式,近年得以快速发展。植入式广告在本质上仍然属于广告,这使得植入式广告的隐蔽性和广告规制所要求的广告可识别性之间存在冲突。如果不将植入式广告纳入到广告规制法律体系中,会对消费者权益、媒体以及现行广告规制体系等都构成极大的损害。但是,过于严厉的规制方式则会扼杀植入式广告的价值。因此,对于植入式广告的规制需要针对其隐蔽性特点而在规制方式上有所变化:一方面,根据植入式广告可能的危害程度进行区分,以类型化的方式予以规制;另一方面,通过对广告披露的方式、程度进行相应的规定,健全广告信息披露制度,从而抑制植入式广告的负面效果。
