公共租赁住房——夹心层的保障性住房

作为我国城市住房保障体系的后起之秀,公共租赁住房在准入门槛、保障模式、运营方式、房源适配性等诸多方面对现有住房保障制度进行了机制再造。但它在运行过程中也存在一些突出问题,如前期准备不充分、缺乏法律保障、准入把关不严、退出机制不健全等,使得其住房保障作用难以有效发挥。为提升该制度对城市中低收入住房困难群体的保障作用,我们应当通过健全机制和创新制度,消解该制度运行过程中存在的不足之处,大力推进公共租赁住房保障制度的发展。     

Comparison Among Manual Facial Approximations Conducted by Two Methodological Approaches of Face Prediction

This study verified the difference between two methods of forensic facial approximation (FFA) regarding recognition and resemblance rates. Three‐dimensional models of skulls were obtained from computerized tomography (CT) scans of two subjects (targets). Two manual FFAs were performed for each target, by applying two different guidelines for the facial structures (what we called “American method” (AM) and “Combined method” (CM)). Unfamiliar assessors evaluated the sculptures by recognition and resemblance tests. The AM was that which allowed more correct responses of recognition and higher resemblance's scores for the male target (p < 0.001). Regarding guidelines for modeling characteristics of the face, the ones that are practical and easily performed for sculptures, such as the length of the anterior nasal spine multiplied by 3 for nose prediction, may offer better results in terms of resemblance.     

Analyzing the Dynamics and Morphology of Cast‐off Pattern at Different Speed Levels Using High‐speed Digital Video Imaging

During a bloodstain pattern analysis, one of the essential tasks is to distinguish between different kinds of applied forces as well as to estimate their level of intensity. In this study, high‐speed digital imaging has been used to analyze the formation of cast‐off patterns generated by a simulated backswing with a blood‐bearing object. For this purpose, 0.5 mL blood was applied evenly over the last 5 cm of a blade simulant. Bloodstains were created through the controlled acceleration of a backswing at different speed levels between 1.1 m/sec and 3.8 m/sec. The flight dynamics of blood droplets were captured with an Olympus^® i‐Speed 3 high‐speed digital camera with a Nikon^® AF Nikkor 50 mm f/1.8 D lens and analyzed using the Olympus i‐Speed 3 Viewer software. The video analysis showed that, during the backswing, blood droplets would move toward the lower end of the knifepoint and would be tangentially thrown off. These droplets impacted on the horizontal surface according to the arc of the swing. An increase in velocity led to longer cast‐off patterns with distinct morphological characteristics. Under laboratory conditions, bloodstain pattern analysis allows certain conclusions about the intensity of a backswing and provides instructions on the position of the offender. However, due to the number of unknown variables at a crime scene, such interpretation of cast‐off patterns is extremely limited and should be performed with extreme caution.     

"日台条约"与战后日台关系框架的确立

本文从历史学实证研究的角度,考察战后"日台条约"签订的过程,认为"日台条约"奠定了战后日台20年官方关系的基本框架,它不仅对日本与台湾而且对亚太地区都发生影响,可以说"日台条约"是战后日台关系的基础工程;如果从更为广阔的时间范围来看,该条约可以看作是蒋介石试图建立"亚洲反共联盟"的重要组成部分.     

试论我国刑事再审程序的缺陷及其制度重构

在传统的诉讼实体真实主义理论的指导下,我国的刑事再审程序在制度设计上呈现出诸多缺陷。“无限申诉、无限再审”再审模式严重窒息着我国司法权威的生成并动摇着人们对司法的信任和尊重。用现代司法理念具体分析了我国刑事再审程序所存在的问题,并对其制度重构提出了自己的建议。     

The development and application of a diatom-based quantitative reconstruction technique in forensic science

Diatoms are a group of unicellular algae that have been recorded and classified for over 200 years and have been used in a range of applications in forensic science. We have developed a quantitative diatom-based reconstruction technique to confirm drowning as a cause of death and localize the site of drowning in two recent, high-profile, case studies. In both case studies we collected diatom samples from the local and/or regional area to act as a control in the examination of diatom assemblages associated with lungs and clothing. In Case Study 1 the modern analog technique suggested that all lung and clothing samples have statistically significant similarities to control samples from shallow water habitats. In Case Study 2, the analog matching suggested that the majority of lung samples show a statistically significant relationship to samples from a pond, indicating that this was the drowning medium.     

乡村社会道德重建：一个居于“乡风文明”的现实思考

改革开放的深入和社会主义市场经济的推进,推动了农村经济社会发展,同时,也给乡村社会思想道德观念带来了极大的冲击和震荡。重建乡村社会道德观念,夯实新农村建设的思想基础,体现了社会主义新农村建设的本质要求。因此,必须从实际出发,重建与乡风文明相适应的现代农民职业观念、义利兼顾的道德价值,物质精神并重的伦理道德观;采取各种措施,多管齐下,努力完善乡村社会道德重建的实现机制。     

和谐社会与重建国家自主性

和谐社会内在地包含着国家与社会关系的和谐,而充分发挥国家自主性则是构建和谐社会的关键所在。因此,必须高度重视重建国家自主性对于构建和谐社会的重要意义,要在深入推进行政改革和培育公民社会的进程中,致力于国家自主性的重建,以促进社会的和谐发展。     

Facial Soft Tissue Thickness Among Three Skeletal Classes in Adult Pakistani Subjects

Different facial reconstruction methods rely on the average facial soft tissue thickness values provided in previous studies. Facial soft tissue thickness is influenced by the age, sex, and ethnicity of the individual. The aim of the present study was to determine facial soft tissue thickness of adult Pakistani subjects with different facial morphology. A total of 166 subjects were categorized into three skeletal classes (based on convex, straight, or concave facial profile) employing the classification system used in orthodontics. Facial soft tissue thickness was determined at ten midline points on lateral cephalograms. Significant differences in facial soft tissue thickness were present at glabella, labrale superius, stomion, and labiomentale in males and at labrale superius, labrale inferius, labiomentale, and pogonion in females among different skeletal classes. The current study suggests that the skull morphology-related variations in facial soft tissue thickness should be considered during facial reconstruction to achieve accurate results.     

Shifting gender roles: an analysis of violence against women in post-conflict Uganda

Based on findings from a qualitative study in northern Uganda, this article explores factors leading to gender-based violence (GBV) in the post-conflict African context. The crisis of masculinity becomes crucial to understanding women's vulnerability to GBV. This crisis stems from the trauma of losing one's internal resources – socially constructed identity role and purpose, and one's external resources – wealth and productive assets. We find that armed conflict replaces the positive male identity as household head with a destructive model of masculinity. It is the interaction between negative masculinities and extreme poverty that characterises the prevalence of GBV in such conditions.
