重思马克思的解放理论

马克思曾高度赞誉政治解放,也指出了政治解放自身难以突破的边界.马克思认为,政治解放是人在政治生活中得到的解放,人类解放则是人在社会生活中得到的解放,人类解放是政治解放的继续和完成.马克思不断探索实现人类解放的路径.重思马克思的解放理论及其所阐述的立场、观点和方法,有助于我们更好地认识当今世界资本主义的发展趋势,树立社会主义必胜的信心和决心,坚定不移地走有中国特色的社会主义道路.     

Dangerousness of civil commitment candidates

This study followed a large, statewide sample of civil commitment candidates both in and out of the hospital for 6 months following their postcourt hearings to determine their postcourt dangerousness. It objectively measures dangerousness by dividing it into five legal components of behavior: (1) type, (2) object, (3) frequency, (4) weapon/means, and (5) severity of outcome. Using data from ward charts, readmission evaluations, recommitment affidavits, and arrest and community mental health center records, it describes candidates' dangerousness in terms of those, five components and compares that dangerousness with the alleged dangerous behavior that brought them into the civil commitment process. It finds that candidates do not tend to be dangerous in the 6 months following their court hearings.     

医源性新生儿肺气肿—附3例分析

报道了3例新生儿肺气肿,均发现实质性肺气肿、间质性肺气肿和大泡性肺气肿,其中1例伴有气体广泛蓄积于软组织间隙,表现为自肺间隔开始,经肺门至纵隔,并直达胸、颈、腹、腹股沟等处皮下组织和阴囊。所报道的新生儿肺气肿原因被认为是抢救时加压吸氧造成。     

医疗改革重在解决“贵”和“难”

去年,我们先后走访了东、中、西九个省市,对看病难、看病贵的问题进行了考察与调研.所闻各方面的情况和意见,使我们切实感受到医疗问题,真正是百姓头上的一座"大山".由于看病"难"和"贵",不少人有病不敢进医院."小病拖、大病挨,要死才往医院抬"的现象比较普遍.就是在天津这样的大城市里,我们也遇到一位曾任厂长和工会主席的老共产党员,床下藏着一瓶滴滴畏.他说:"怕的是医疗费过高,不能把沉重的负担压给下一代!"为什么改革开放已经使GDP翻了三番的今天,看病问题却使得近90%的百姓为之却步和担忧,感到无奈和艰难?     

A forensic entomology case from the Amazon rain forest of Brazil

The first case of application of forensic entomology in the Brazilian Amazonia is described. The corpses of 26 men were found in the rainforest in Rondonia State, Brazil. Fly larvae collected on the bodies during autopsy were identified as Paralucilia fulvinota (Diptera, Calliphoridae). No data or specimens were collected at the crime scene. At the laboratory, the larvae developed into pupae in 58 h and into adults in 110.5 h. The total development time for P. fulvinota was measured in field experiments inside the forest. The age of the larvae when collected from the bodies was estimated as the difference between the time required for them to become adults and the total development time for this species. The estimated age of the maggots and the minimum postmortem interval was 5.7 days.     

Mental Health Court Outcomes: A Comparison of Re-Arrest and Re-Arrest Severity Between Mental Health Court and Traditional Court Participants

Mental health courts have been proliferating across the country since their establishment in the late 1990's. Although numerous advocates have proclaimed their merit, only few empirical studies have evaluated their outcomes. This paper evaluates the effect of one mental health court on criminal justice outcomes by examining arrests and offense severity from one year before to one year after entry into the court, and by comparing mental health court participants to comparable traditional criminal court defendants on these measures. Multivariate models support the prediction that mental health courts reduce the number of new arrests and the severity of such re-arrests among mentally ill offenders. Similar analysis of mental health court completers and non-completers supports the prediction that a "full dose" of mental health treatment and court monitoring produce even fewer re-arrests.     

Further evidence of the validity of the Suicide Risk Assessment Scale for prisoners

The Suicide Risk Assessment Scale (SRAS; nine items) is useful in correctional settings but needed further validation. First, 44 inmates originally screened as suicidal with the SRAS were evaluated by institutional psychologists according to five criteria: suicidal urgency, risk, appropriateness of referral, need for short- or long-term watch. On the whole, the SRAS was judged to be as effective as a more elaborate test. Second, 242 suicidal and non-suicidal inmates were tested with the SRAS. Their results correlated better with suicidal risk (.71) than with urgency (.50). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis even showed that the SRAS performed better than a more elaborate test in predicting risk.
