试评《物权法（草案）》对银行业务的影响

物权法是调整财产关系的重要法律,与我们每个人的切身利益都息息相关,银行亦不例外。为此,我们对《物权法(草案)》进行了认真研究,以期更好地指导业务的开展。该草案将对银行产生有利的影响,比如扩大了可用于担保的财产范围、增加了最高额质押这种担保形式、建立了方便快捷的统一登记制度等,这些都将极大地促进银行信贷业务的稳健发展。但是,我们也应看到,草案给银行带来机遇的同时,也使银行面临着更大的挑战。新的异议登记、预告登记、将来的动产抵押以及居住权制度等,都对银行提出了更高的要求。在对该草案的有利影响和不利影响进行分析的基础上,本文还提出了银行的应对措施。     

Historic Decline of LDP Politics in Japan

Japan＇s ruling Liberal Democratic Party （LDP） suffered a crushing defeat in the August 30th general election to the House of Representatives. This was due to a change in election rules, the decline of LDP＇s traditional bases of support, and the long-standing internal problems. If the LDP now fails to respond to these changed realities, it will further lose credibility with the Japanese people.     

Y-chromosome haplotypes in Italy: the GEFI collaborative database.

A sample of 1176 males from 10 Italian regions have been typed for DYS19, DYS389-I, DYS389-II, DYS390, DYS391, DYS392, DYS393, and DYS385. Individual haplotype data are available on line. A low degree of variation is present among regions. Use of this database is specifically recommended for forensic applications in Italy.     

Further characterization and population data for the pentanucleotide STR polymorphism D10S2325.

Pentanucleotide tandem repeat markers are interesting for forensic sciences, because they may present less stutter on the electrophoretic pattern. We focused on the analysis of the DNA sequence for each allele at the pentanucleotide STR locus D10S2325 in order to understand their structures in the human genome and to construct human allelic ladder, which is necessary for forensic DNA typing. In order to evaluate the forensic applicability of D10S2325 and to construct a preliminary database, the genotype distributions and allele frequencies in three major ethnic groups were investigated. The population samples included Caucasians (Germans), Africans (African Americans), and Asians (Chinese). A total of 520 samples from unrelated individuals was analyzed by Amp-FLP. An example of each allele and new alleles were sequenced. Allele determination was carried out by comparison with a sequenced human allelic ladder made in-house. This pentanucleotide STR provided easily interpretable results. A total of 15 alleles was found in our population samples. Three new alleles were observed and named as alleles 19 and 21 based on the number of repeat motifs, while allele 19 can be divided further into two alleles, 19a and 19 according to analysis of the sequence. No evidence of deviation from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was observed. In 64 confirmed father/mother/child triplets no mutation event was observed. Using a maximum likelihood method, the mutation rate was indirectly estimated as 2.5 x 10(-5). These results suggest that D10S2325 is a useful marker for forensic casework and paternity analysis.
