A Holistic Multi-Scale Approach to Using 3D Scanning Technology in Accident Reconstruction

Three-dimensional scanning and documentation methods are becoming increasingly employed by law enforcement personnel for crime scene and accident scene recording. Three-dimensional documentation of the victim's body in such cases is also increasingly used as the field of forensic radiology and imaging is expanding rapidly. These scanning technologies enable a more complete and detailed documentation than standard autopsy. This was used to examine a fatal pedestrian-vehicle collision where the pedestrian was killed by a van while crossing the road. Two competing scenarios were considered for the vehicle speed calculation: the pedestrian being projected forward by the impact or the pedestrian being carried on the vehicle's bonnet. In order to assist with this, the impact area of the accident vehicle was scanned using laser surface scanning, the victim was scanned using postmortem CT and micro-CT and the data sets were combined to virtually match features of the vehicle to injuries on the victim. Micro-CT revealed additional injuries not previously detected, lending support to the pedestrian-carry theory.     

Lying on the Road Before Being Run Over: Vehicular Manslaughter,Suicide, or Accident? Two Case Reports and Literature Review

We present two apparent hit-and-run cases where two women were run over. The vehicles involved were subsequently traced and their owners charged with manslaughter. Autopsy evidence, scientific investigation of the scene and circumstances of the deaths, technical inspection of the vehicles, and DNA analysis strongly suggested that both victims were lying on the road before the accident. Case 1 was a suicide. In Case 2, the victim had fallen to the ground following acute alcohol intoxication. Victimological analysis was pivotal in reconstructing the dynamics of the events. We suggest that a hit-and-run fatality should not be regarded as a manslaughter case until each piece of evidence has been carefully considered. We also propose an interdisciplinary method of reconstructing run over occurrences based on the following three steps: (i) identify whether there was a primary impact when the victim was in an upright position; (ii) identify victim drug/alcohol intoxication and/or presence of acute or chronic disease or injury, which may have contributed to the impact; and (iii) consider suicide intent.     

邓小平对社会主义新道路的艰辛开拓

中国特色社会主义新道路是从党的十一届三中全会以后开始的。当时中国面临重重障碍,既有党内和社会上出现的“左”和“右”的思潮,又有旧的传统观念。邓小平以大无畏的开拓精神,扫清了走上新道路的屏障,顺民心、合民意把中国引向一条崭新的道路。     

地面轮胎拖印与道路交通事故现场再现

地面轮胎拖印是车辆发生事故时,在地面上留下的痕迹。它对道路交通事故现场再现,进而对交通事故各方当事人进行责任认定有着极其重要的作用。本文结合相关案例,根据一定的计算方法,对此进行了相关分析研究。     

解决道路交通事故损害赔偿难的有效途径

道路交通事故损害赔偿中,机动车之间,机动车与非机动车驾驶人、行人之间发生道路交通事故这两类事故,在司法实践中面临损害赔偿难的困惑。主要原因是责任人赔偿能力有限、双方难达成共识、道路交通肇事逃逸增多。增强保险意识,实现道路事故车辆风险转移,提高赔付能力,完善道路交通事故损害赔偿立法工作和执行制度,启动诉前财产保全制度和社会救助基金制度,加大司法救助力度是解决这一难题的有效途径。     

Do exemptions undermine environmental policy support? An experimental stress test on the odd‐even road space rationing policy in India

Policies sometimes exempt particular categories of regulatees for reasons of equity and political feasibility. Will the non‐exempt oppose the policy because they shoulder all of the policy costs? We outline an analytic framework for “stress testing” public support among the non‐exempt when they are provided negative information about exemptions and reduced policy effectiveness. Empirically, we study public support for the odd‐even road space rationing policy in India. Using a survey experiment with 2,182 car owners in Bangalore, we find considerable baseline support for this policy. While support among the non‐exempt erodes when they are told about exemptions, there is no additional erosion when they are told that exemptions reduce policy effectiveness. This suggests that the perception of fairness, not policy efficacy, drives the erosion of support among the non‐exempt. Yet the policy survives the stress test because the majority of respondents continue to support it, in spite of support erosion among the non‐exempt.     

人类命运共同体:构建全球空间正义的中国方案

全球化的快速发展正在推动形成全球性空间。这是生产力高度发达,世界各国相互依赖、密切联系的结果。但是,在这样一个全球性空间中,空间正义的缺失造成了空间内的紧张关系,危及全球空间的进一步发展。人类命运共同体是构建全球空间正义的中国方案。在理论上,人类命运共同体从政治、安全、经济、文明、生态等领域阐释了空间正义的内涵。在实践中,人类命运共同体夯实全球化的动力基础,筑牢空间正义的根基;促进全球空间的平等参与,推进空间生产正义;调整全球空间的分配模式,推进空间分配正义。
