非洲国家的法律援助制度评析

法律援助制度是当今世界上大多数国家普遍采用的一种司法救济制度,它的完善与否及其实施状况也日益成为考察一个国家人权保护状况的重要指标。由于司法资源严重匮乏、律师业发展缓慢、国民法律意识淡漠,以及传统法律文化等因素的制约,非洲大部分国家法律援助的相关制度还不健全、法律援助的发展很不平衡、法律援助的服务范围和对象较为狭窄。随着非洲经济和社会的不断发展,以及世界人权保护观念的深入人心,法律援助制度的建立及其实施在非洲将逐步得到完善和发展。     

Betwixt balance and community: America, ASEAN, and the security of Southeast Asia

Realist scholars have long claimed, not incorrectly, that aUS-led balance of power is fundamental to the security and prosperityof Southeast Asia. Yet the Southeast Asian experience has alsobeen one where multilateral security dialogue and regional communityformation figure prominently. In contrast to views which exaggeratethe importance of US preponderance in Southeast Asia whilstdismissing regional multilateral efforts, we offer seven argumentsagainst any undue overstatement of the US contribution to regionalpeace and stability. If anything, a historically ambivalentUS presence contributed to ASEAN's emergence as a mechanismof regional diplomacy. Such ambivalence is no longer feasiblesince 9/11. However, Washington's current engagement in SoutheastAsia should focus on revitalizing regional multilateralism.Our claim is not that the region's security is due to ASEANregionalism rather than US strategic dominance. We argue insteadthat absent the region's fluency with ‘soft’ multilateralism,Southeast Asia's security would probably have been far worse.

SoutheastAsians are more acutely aware of the uncertainties of U.S. policiesthan other regions of the world. They remember the Americanretrenchment in the 1970s followed by a decade of self-doubt.Hence ASEAN countries drew towards each other to seek greaterstrength in self-reliance. They found that together in ASEAN,they could better overcome their problems; but they still needthe United States to balance the strength of the Soviet shipsand aircraft. The renewal of self-confidence in America hasreassured us that America will help maintain the peace and stabilityof the region. It is this balance of power which has enabledthe free market economies to thrive. – Lee Kuan Yew¹

     

广东广西地区5个群体9个STR基因座的频率调查

目的 调查广东汉族、广西汉族、广西侗族、广西壮族、广西苗族5个群体9个STR基因座多态性,探讨其在法医学检验中的应用价值。方法 应用AmpFISTR Profiler PlusTM荧光标记复合扩增系统,对广东广西5个群体4个民族的1191个无关个体的血样DNA进行9个STR基因座的复合扩增;用ABI 3100遗传分析仪对扩增产物进行分型,统计9个STR基因座的群体遗传学参数。结果 9个STR基因座在广东广西地区5个群体中的累积偶合率为1.51×10-11～8.08×10-11,累积非父排除率为0.99981—0.99990。,结论 该9个STR基因座可满足汉族、壮族、侗族、苗族群体法医学的个体识别及亲权鉴定的需要。

Changing Global Landscape and Enhanced US Engagement with Asia—Challenges and Emerging Trends

United States President Barack Obama's announcement of significant shifts in US polices towards the Middle East and East Asia in 2009 has affected the global strategic landscape. President Obama's announcement of enhanced US engagement with Asia has posed certain challenges to the prevailing regional architecture of ASEAN centric institutions and ASEAN centrality which has fostered peace and stability, and prosperity in the region. The rise of China and its growing political and economic influence in the region and its military modernisation have aroused US concern that a rising China could in the future challenge its primacy in the Asia region. President Obama's announcement of a web of military alliances of treaty allies and strategic partners with the stationing of US marines in Darwin in November 2011 was perceived by China as an attempt by the US to contain China or constrain its rise. ASEAN is uneasy about any emergence of big power rivalry in the region.     

微波消解-扫描电镜联用法在溺死诊断中的应用

目的探讨微波消解-扫描电镜联用法在溺死诊断中的应用价值。方法收集已知死因的尸体标本105例,其中水中尸体85例(生前溺死70例,死后抛尸入水15例),陆地自然死亡尸体20例。水中死亡案例同时收集落水处水样。分别用微波消解-扫描电镜联用法(方法 A)和硝酸破机-光镜联用法(方法 B)对上述尸体的离体肺、肝、肾、骨髓组织及水样进行硅藻定性、定量检测。结果①溺死尸体的肺、肝、肾、骨髓中及落水处水样硅藻检出率:A法分别为100%、94.3%、92.9%、82.9%、100%,硅藻检验阳性率为100%;B法分别为90%、62.9%、51.4%、28.6%、92.9%,硅藻检验阳性率为65.7%。②两种方法检出的硅藻种类与落水处水样中硅藻的种类均一致。③两种方法在死后入水尸体离体的肺中也检出少量硅藻(<3个/2g肺组织),但在死后入水尸体的其它脏器及陆地自然死亡尸体脏器中均未检出硅藻。结论微波消解-扫描电镜联用法较硝酸破机-光镜联用法对尸体离体组织脏器中的硅藻检出率高,方法灵敏,定性准确。     

知识产权权利冲突之命题解构

知识产权权利冲突研究近年来不断升温,实务界和学术界都很关注。知识产权权利冲突作为一个法学概念,系对特定法律现象从法学角度做出的归纳总结,其本身具有一定的模糊性,需要在学术讨论中达成共识。知识产权权利冲突与法律冲突、知识产权侵权是相区别的概念,不应一概而论地否定对权利冲突的研究价值。知识产权权利冲突有积极的意义,但也有消极的影响,研究权利冲突最终的价值在于减少消极影响,促进权利体系完善和发展。

A study of DNA transfers onto plastic packets placed in personal bags

The ability to detect low level DNA brings with it the uncertainty of whether the detected DNA is a result of transfer. To address this uncertainty, a simulation study was conducted in which a mock illicit drug packet was placed into the personal bags of individuals. When the average transit time of the packets was increased from around 2 h to more than 14 h, the percentage of the DNA profiles recovered from the packets which could be attributed to the individuals increased greatly from 5.3% to 48.6%. We found that drug packers who were poor shedders could not be included as contributors to the DNA profiles from the drug packets at all and there was a higher chance that individuals other than themselves could be included as contributors to the DNA profile recovered from drug packets. We also found that it was equally likely that the drug packers who had direct contact with the drug packets and bag owners who did not, could be included as contributors to the DNA profiles recovered from the packets. The results in this study highlight the importance of taking into consideration the transit time of drug packet, the shedder status of the alleged packer and the history of an item, when evaluating DNA evidence in the context of illicit drug activities.
