Explanation of nonspecific serologic reactions in decomposed bone tissue

Bone fragments were stored in water for 2 years at room temperature and investigated serologically using the following methods: Absorption-elution, extraction of blood group substances and immunohistochemistry (PAP). All 3 methods gave essentially specific results for fresh bone tissue but with putrid bone tissue unspecific reactions were found predominantly with the absorption-elution and PAP techniques. In contrast, more specific reactions were obtained from the extracts although they were much weaker. From this it can be concluded that pure physical binding plays a substantial role in the unspecific reaction between antibodies and bone material. It is suggested that the relevant physical properties are altered by putrification.     

Gender comparisons in the relationship between parental and sibling violence and nonfamily violence

This paper addresses two neglected areas in the research on the relationship between family violence and violence outside the home: violence other than parent-child abuse and the effect of gender. Specifically, we consider both parental and sibling violence as independent variables, nonfamily violence as the dependent variable, and gender as the specification variable. The data were collected from a sample of 306 students in Introductory Sociology and Social Problems classes. The finding of particular importance is that the interaction between the gender of both the aggressor and the victim has a significant effect on the relationship between violence within the home and nonfamily violence.     

The use of human skin in the fabrication of a bite mark template: two case reports

Comparison of a suspected biter's dental arches with the patterned injury of a bite mark is especially difficult when the bite occurs in an anatomic location with a small radius of curvature or with complex or compound curves. The authors present two case reports in which human skin was used as a template for the reproduction of a bite. In one case the victim's skin was used; in the other, the skin of a anatomically similar person was used. The use of inked dental casts, photography, and transparent overlays significantly reduced the errors common to analysis of bite marks in these highly curved areas.     

优化社会结构是构建和谐社会的基本路径选择

十六大首次提出构建和谐社会的社会发展目标,标志着我国构建一个社会结构优化合理的和谐社会的社会发展战略将进入实质性阶段.各级政府要深入了解和分析我国社会的结构,并积极提供政策支持,优化社会结构,为构建和谐社会打下牢固的基础.为此,各级政府政策需要在如何破除二元结构、扩大中间阶层、保护弱势公民、利用社会组织激发社会活力等诸多方面进行调整与创新.     

统一战线在激发社会活力、构建和谐社会中的重要作用及其工作思路初探

充满活力是社会主义和谐社会的基本特征和重要因素,在整个和谐社会的构成体系中占有十分重要的位置。统一战线是和谐理论的最好实践,尤其在激发社会活力方面有着独特的作用和优势。统一战线要在激发社会活力、构建和谐社会中发挥作用,就要做到在指导思想上坚持以人为本,在方针政策上坚持"四个尊重",在工作策略上根据不同统战对象确定相应的工作重点,在方式方法上建立适应时代特征的有效工作机制。

《城市生活无着的流浪乞讨人员救助管理办法》的制度解读——以流浪乞讨人员获得救助权为视角

作为对《城市生活无着的流浪乞讨人员救助管理办法》的反思,在对制度本身的功能定位基础上,以"流浪乞讨人员获得救助权"为视角展开分析,其结论是制度的完善应围绕获得救助权的保障和实现加以架构,合理界定权利主体和救助条件,明确救助机构的职责和权限,实行分类救助和先行救助,完善权利救济制度。
