析骗取贷款、票据承兑、金融票证罪的适用——以A实业有限公司骗取银行承兑汇票案为分析样本

骗取贷款、票据承兑、金融票证罪侵犯了正常的金融管理秩序和金融机构信用安全;客观上实施以欺骗手段取得银行或者其他金融机构贷款、票据承兑、信用证、保函等,给银行或者其他金融机构造成重大损失或有其他严重情节的行为;主观方面为故意,但不具有非法占有目的;主体方面既可以是自然人也可以是单位。     

在刑事技术教学中引入研究性学习之探讨

在当前的刑事技术教学中,学生的学习更多的是被动“接受性学习”。虽然也开设有一定学时的实验课程,但大多是为了提高学生的操作能力。这样的培养模式不利于调动学生学习的主动性,不利于提高学生发现问题解决问题的能力。因此,在刑事技术教学中应引入“研究性学习”。     

Can decision transparency increase citizen trust in regulatory agencies? Evidence from a representative survey experiment

Decision transparency is often proposed as a way to maintain or even increase citizen trust, yet this assumption is still untested in the context of regulatory agencies. We test the effect of transparency of a typical decision tradeoff in regulatory enforcement: granting forbearance or imposing a sanction. We employed a representative survey experiment (n = 1,546) in which we test the effect of transparency in general (providing information about a decision or not) and the effect of specific types of transparency (process or rationale transparency). We do this for agencies supervising financial markets, education, and health care. We find that overall decision transparency significantly increases citizen trust in only two of the three agencies. Rationale transparency has a more pronounced positive effect only for the Education Inspectorate. We conclude that the overall effect of decision transparency is positive but that the nature of the regulatory domain may weaken or strengthen this effect.     

受贿罪立法比较研究

大陆法系、英美法系和中国大陆对受贿罪的规定各有特点,大陆法系一般在刑法典中规定受贿罪,注重体系性,英美法系则以单行立法规定,具有实用性。我国刑法对受贿罪的规定在某些方面同于大陆法系,但在罪名的完善和详备方面不如大陆法系和英美法系,在犯罪构成的严密性和科学性方面更是差别较大,客观上不利于对受贿罪的规制,不利于加强吏治建设,应当改进。     

Fat Transfer and Fatal Macroembolization

Fat embolism is usually associated with long bone fractures or other trauma. The diagnosis is usually clinical, and in most cases, emboli are not fatal and not usually seen on gross examination. At the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office, we autopsied the victim of fatal macroscopic fat embolization to the lungs. The patient died during buttock enhancement surgery when fat from liposuction was injected into her buttocks. Fat embolism from liposuction and fat injection is reportedly rare, and macroscopic embolization is rarer still. Varicose veins can occur in the area of the sciatic notch and are known to cause painful sciatica symptoms. We suggest them as a potential conduit for macroscopic fat to reach the lungs. Simple pre‐operative questioning for sciatica symptoms and possible radiologic study to rule out sciatic varices seem prudent before undertaking buttock‐enhancing surgery. Careful fat injection with pre‐aspiration is always advised.     

The Hierarchy of Case Priority (HiCaP):- A proposed method for case prioritisation in digital forensic laboratories

The need for digital forensic science (DFS) services has grown due to widespread and consistent engagement with technology by members of society. Whilst digital evidence often plays an important role in many inquiries, available investigative resources have failed to keep pace with such demand for them. As a result, the use case prioritisation models for backlog/workload management are of increasing importance to ensure the effective deployment of laboratory resources. This work focuses on the concept of ​​case prioritisation in a digital forensic laboratory setting, following the submission of exhibits for examination, where this workflow is described. The challenges of case management and prioritisation in laboratories are discussed, with both ‘case acceptance’ and ‘case prioritisation’ procedures explained. Finally, the ‘Hierarchy of Case Priority’ (HiCaP) - a transparent, risk-based approach for the prioritisation of cases for examination, is proposed and described using examples.     

斡旋受贿问题研究

斡旋贿赂行为侵害的是其他公民的正当权益和公平公正的社会秩序,同时也侵害了社会公众对国家的信任感。《刑法》第388条中"利用本人职权或地位形成的便利条件"作为斡旋受贿罪构成要件的规定,具有缺陷,应予取消。     

比较法视野下认罪认罚案件被告人的上诉权

英美法对认罪的被告人就定罪问题的上诉权进行了极其严格的限制,但对其不服量刑的上诉权仍然给予保障;大陆法系的意大利、德国以及我国台湾地区也分别通过立法或者实践对认罪协商案件中的上诉权进行了限制。我国认罪认罚从宽制度的运行条件与域外不同,现阶段不宜对认罪认罚案件的上诉权进行限制。但从发展方向看,对认罪认罚被告人的上诉权进行一定的限制,乃是完善刑事诉讼中认罪认罚从宽制度的内在要求,也符合以审判为中心的刑事诉讼制度改革的趋势和刑事司法规律。在立法模式上,可以借鉴域外立法经验,对允许上诉的理由进行列举性规定;在立法修改以前,司法机关可以开展通过协议限制被告人上诉权的试点工作,但应提供必要的程序保障。
