A silent minority: Battered American Indian women

Sixteen American Indian women requesting counseling for domestic violence at an urban Indian health center were interviewed using standardized measures. The majority of the women were not married, had low family incomes, and both the women and their partners abused substances. All of the women experienced increased depression and stress as a result of the battering. A mental health needs assessment survey of 198 American Indian women is presented for comparison. Women who reported a history of domestic violence on the survey were more likely to be separated or divorced and reported more problems with alcohol than the women with no history of domestic violence. The results of the domestic violence program interviews are compared to the mental health needs assessment survey and studies of battered women in shelters.     

The squatting facet on femora of West Coastal Indian population

104 out of 108 adult femora from the West Coastal region of India show a distinct identifiable squatting facet on their popliteal surface. The data on such features are reviewed and its relevance to medico legal and anthropological science is discussed.     

西部民族地区退耕还林还草的法律保障探讨

我国制定“退耕还林还草”战略决策最主要的目的,就是为了给西部地区人民营造一个新的生存和发展空间。实施“退耕还林还草”的战略决策,必须尊重群众意愿,确保林草的成活率;必须遵循自然规律,因地制宜,宜林则林,宜草则草,实行综合治理;必须严格执行国务院关于“退耕还林、封山绿化、以粮代赈、个体承包”的法规措施;必须认真落实保护农民土地经营权的法律规范,树立生态环境要持续发展的法律协调观;必须建立和健全西部地区生态效益补偿机制,充分利用价格杠杆的作用促进西部地区的生态平衡。

Fighting terrorism in Africa by proxy: the USA and the European Union in Somalia and Mali

The French intervention in Mali in early 2013 emphasizes that the decision-makers in Paris, Brussels, and Washington considered the establishment of the radical Islamist regime in Northern Mali a threat to their security interests. The widespread instability including the rise of radical Islamist groups in Somalia was perceived as a threat to western interests. It is the core argument of the paper if western powers decide to provide security in Africa, they will be inclined to use proxy instead of deploying own troops. Security provision by proxy in African means that African troops are doing the actual fighting and peacekeeping on the ground while western powers basically pay the costs, the logistics, and the training of local African troops. The paper concludes that the African Union Mission in Somalia (AMISOM) in Somalia and The African-led International Support Mission to Mali (AFISMA) in Mali are proxies for the USA and the European Union.     

Oversight Effectiveness and Political Will: Some Lessons from West Africa

The purpose of the present note is to advance two theoretical claims. The first claim proposed is that the impact of the availability of oversight tools and of the most broadly understood legislative capacity (availability of material, technical, financial resources; availability of well-trained staff) on the effectiveness with which legislative oversight is performed is conditional. The second claim put forward, after reviewing a rich body of work on executive–legislative relations and legislative oversight in West Africa, is that, of the various conditions that promote or prevent the effective use of oversight tools and capacity, political will is the single most important. These claims have both theoretical and practical relevance, for if political will is as important as is claimed for the effective performance of the oversight function, then international organisations may have to reconsider their approach to legislative strengthening.     

西尼罗病毒E蛋白的原核表达及其多克隆抗体的制备

利用PCR技术扩增西尼罗病毒(WNV)E蛋白基因并将其插入原核表达载体pET-30a(+),构建重组质粒pET-30a(+)-WNV-E,并转化至大肠杆菌BL21(DE3)感受态细胞中,经IPTG诱导目的蛋白表达,对诱导条件进行优化,利用His镍柱亲和层析法纯化目的蛋白,纯化后的蛋白经SDS-PAGE与Westernblot鉴定正确后,免疫BALB/c小鼠制备多克隆抗体并进行间接免疫荧光鉴定。结果显示:WNV E蛋白在大肠杆菌中以包涵体形式被成功表达,蛋白最佳诱导条件为37℃,0.8 mmol/L IPTG诱导5 h,经间接免疫荧光鉴定多克隆抗体能特异性识别WNV E蛋白。本研究成功表达并纯化了WNV E蛋白,证明该蛋白具有良好的免疫原性,为WNV抗原、抗体检测方法的建立和新型疫苗的研发及相关研究奠定了基础。
