2009年中亚国家经济形势与对华关系

国际金融危机给中国和中亚各国经济以及中国与中亚的贸易造成沉重打击。2009年中国经济率先企稳回升,给中亚各国吸引外资缓解本国日益严峻的金融形势创造了有利的条件,促进了中国与中亚各国在经济、政治、安全、人文等各方面的快速发展。由于中亚地缘政治、经济地位的特殊性,使之日益成为大国博弈的焦点,中国和中亚各国的合作不可避免招致美俄等国的猜疑和忧心,从而给双边关系的发展带来挑战。不过,中国和中亚各国合作是建立在"政治互信、经济互助、资源互补"基础之上的双边关系,未来合作的机遇仍然会大于挑战。

墨西哥的政治经济转型与可治理性问题

墨西哥的可治理问题具有一定特殊性。20世纪30年代后革命制度党的统治为墨西哥带来数10年政治、经济和社会稳定,实现了初步的可治理性,但这种可治理性有很大脆弱性。在80年代后经济、社会和政治转型过程中,墨西哥出现新的动荡和不稳定,体制缺陷进一步暴露,各阶层不满情绪增长,有关当局驾驭危机和应对矛盾的能力下降,出现新的可治理性难题。尽管有关当局采取一系列政策措施,力图提高可治理性的实现程度,但在可治理性方面仍存在严重困难。     

Explosion Scene Forensic Image Interpretation

Image interpretation is an important aspect in the field of forensic science; however, it is seldom reported how to use these techniques in explosion scene forensic investigations. On 12 August 2015, a series of explosions killed 165 people and injured hundreds more at a container storage station at the Port of Tianjin. In this study, we applied image interpretation methods to determine the seat of the explosion by analyzing low‐quality video clips of the event. The interpretation fits well with recently published standard operating procedures, including the hypothesis, evaluation, inference, and confirmation. Image processing was adopted to enhance the images while the explosion scene was reconstructed with the same images. Some important features were extracted and utilized to distinguish whether the flashes were caused by reflection or a real blast. We reveal the real explosion location, which guides the overall investigation. The results indicate that image interpretation is a powerful tool for forensic investigators to analyze low‐quality images in complicated explosions or fire accidents.
