东亚的创新文化与创新政策

东亚经济的崛起和快速发展引起了世界的关注。这一发展背后掩藏着什么,其发展是否与东亚经济的创新有关联,一直以来备受争议。本文通过行为取向、经济制度化形式和国家的创新政策,研究东亚形成了怎样的创新文化以及不同国家或地区创新文化的异同。作者认为,在创新行为前提条件相近的情况下,东亚各国或地区的创新途径各     

东南亚视野下的历史、文化与区域:地方文学

过去,学者往往不会从文本角度研究早期东南亚文学。例如,为验证碑铭涉及的文献信息而研究碑铭:比如证明碑铭中的事件是与其他铭文、记录或外国材料中的相关信息相符的。对历史学家而言,文献研究是一项关键性活动,但这不是文本研究。文本研究并不急于从文字转向现实世界。被视为文本的文字向研究者展现的是语言而非文本之外的事件。     

Injuries of the female genitalia in cases of sexual assault

Sexual violence is a global problem that particularly affects women and children. A retrospective analysis of 390 clinical-forensic examinations and 120 autopsies regarding injuries of the female genitalia in cases of sexual violence was performed. In the majority of cases no injuries of the female genitalia were found. Autopsy cases showed significantly more (and more serious) injuries of the genitalia than clinical forensic examinations (43 % vs. 25 %; p = 0.0004). Predominantly found were injuries of the external anogenital area, mostly tears or soft tissue lesions. In the current literature, data regarding the rate of injuries in victims of sexual violence vary strongly and their comparability is limited. Regarding the reconstruction of an offence, a forensic examination with an appropriate documentation of the injuries is evidently crucial.     

Death related to aortic coarctation in a young female during sexual intercourse

Coarctation of the aorta (CA) is diagnosed mainly in pediatric patients, and therapy is conservative if asymptomatic, but surgical treatment is required if advanced arterial hypertension is present. Moderate to severe forms contraindicate any type of physical activity requiring cardiac effort. Here, we describe the first documented death of an apparently healthy 35-year-old woman because of cardiac tamponade by rupture of an aortic aneurysm, possibly related to congenital CA, prolonged use of oxymetazoline hydrochloride, and physical and/or emotional stress during sexual activity. Our patient was asymptomatic for classical CA symptoms. The patient's breathing difficulties likely in hindsight were due not so much to nasal congestion, but rather to an ineffective oxygenation of the blood from the abnormal heart. In an attempt to treat the "nasal disease," the patient ingested chronic and excessive doses of decongestants, aggravating her fatal disease. The danger of inhaling large doses of nasal decongestants without an appropriate medical indication is highlighted here.
