Assessment of the forensic application of 50 Y-STR markers in a large pedigree

Short tandem repeats on the Y chromosome (Y-STRs), characterized by paternal inheritance, are valuable in forensic practice. Notably, the potential application of Y-STRs in pedigrees should be drawn upon, especially in China’s surname-concentrated natural villages. The study focused on 50 Y-STRs, including 13 rapidly mutating (RM) Y-STRs that largely constitute the current Y-STR commercial kits, and determined the differences in these Y-STRs between branches in a large pedigree and the discriminatory power of these haplotypes in different units for male relatives. As indicated in the results, 14 inconsistencies were observed at 9 Y-STRs between 10 father-son pairs. In addition, these 50 Y-STR haplotypes discriminated 10 out of 47 father-son pairs, 106 of 148 cousin pairs, 70 of 119 uncle-nephew pairs, 17 of 39 brother pairs, and 14 out of 33 grandfather-grandson pairs in a large pedigree. The RM Y-STR set is able to differentiate close male relatives in a large pedigree.     

国家治理体系现代化视域下构建生态治理长效机制探析

国家治理体系现代化为生态治理长效机制的构建指明了方向,生态治理长效机制为国家治理体系现代化提供了重要抓手,两者耦合于社会治理范式的现代转型。生态治理长效机制是由绿色法治机制、创新驱动机制、文化培育机制、公众参与机制、吸收借鉴机制组成的"五维一体"复合结构。其中,绿色法治是生态治理取得长效的保障、创新驱动是取得长效的核心、文化培育是取得长效的重点、公众参与是取得长效的依托、吸收借鉴是取得长效的条件。当前,积极构建生态治理的长效机制具有重大而深远的意义。

新时代背景下法的价值重解及其治理启示

新时代背景下,应更加注重法的价值对规范社会主体实现利益上的作用。若接续中外法理念将法的价值与利益联结思考进路,视法为规范社会主体实现利益的工具,则其关键价值在于正义、自由与秩序。正义作为社会主体实现利益的“可能性”,既维护了其既有利益,也保障了继续拥有实现利益的机会。自由作为社会主体实现利益的“可行性”,不仅确认了社会主体的生存资格、赋予了社会主体的发展动力,而且提供了社会物质资料生产与交换行动方式。秩序作为社会主体实现利益的“可得性”,能确保社会主体在遵循客观规律的基础上充分发挥主观能动性以实现利益。适时重解法的价值,可为满足人民日益增长的美好生活需要寻得法理依据,为平衡社会诸利益提供“三个自由”标准,也能为补齐生态秩序短板提供理由与方法。
