Study of poroscopy among South Indian population

Poroscopy is the term applied to a specialized study of pore structure found on papillary ridges of skin as a means of identification. It comes under level 3 detail of identification and hence is more reliable and accurate. The goal of this study is to estimate the importance of poroscopy for identification of individuals and to determine the gender based on frequency, type, and shape of pores. Left plain thumb prints of 200 individuals (100 men and 100 women) aged between 18 and 60 belonging to South Indian population were observed. The results have shown that women tend to have a significantly higher frequency of pores than men. Number of pores ≤ 8 pores/25 mm(2) is more likely to be of male origin and ≥9 pores/25 mm(2) is more likely to be of female origin. There was no significant sex difference based on type and shape of pores.     

略论陕甘宁边区政权建设的特点及其经验

陕甘宁边区的政权建设经历了新民主主义革命的3个历史时期，实现了两次政权性质的转变，完整地反映了中国革命的基本特点。边区长期在中共中央领导之下，决定了政权建设的地位和模范作用，正确处理了同国民党政权的关系，贯彻了中共中央的独立自主的原则，最终使边区政权成为新中国政权的雏形。     

关注配额 超越数字:比较中印两国妇女参政中的配额制

目前,配额制已成为促进妇女参政的重要机制之一。本文从中国和印度妇女与配额制有关的参政运动开始,比较两种道路的同与不同以及背后的原因。进而引发出有关的问题和思考:在配额制问题上如何既关注数字又超越数字?在妇女参政问题上如何激活我们的历史传统?妇女为什么要参与政治?参与进去后到底要干什么?     

海峡两岸毒品犯罪比较研究

两岸刑法在毒品概念、分级制度、毒品犯罪对象和行为类型等方面存在较大的差异。大陆刑法在毒品犯罪对象、行为类型等方面有着较为完整的规制体系，台湾“刑法”在毒品分级制度和使用行为犯罪化问题上迥异于大陆刑法。研究还发现，台湾“刑法”的毒品分级制度、毒品目录更新机制、对制毒设备和施用毒品的器具的刑法规制值得大陆刑法借鉴。     

Alcohol Use, Outcome Expectancies, and HIV Risk Status among American Indian Youth: A Latent Growth Curve Model with Parallel Processes

Alcohol use is cited as a risk factor for exposure to HIV infection through risky sexual behavior, especially among adolescents. From Social Cognitive Theory, positive outcome expectancies about the use of alcohol have often been presented as a critical aspect of alcohol use. Yet little is known about how they might be related to different aspects of HIV risk. Using latent growth curve modeling with data from 292 American Indian youth across seven years, both alcohol use and positive expectancies increased significantly; a lower-risk group showed significantly slower increases in both. Changes in alcohol use and outcome expectancies were significantly interrelated, providing support for reciprocal influence between the two constructs. Positive alcohol outcome expectancies may provide a preventive intervention point worthy of further consideration as influencing alcohol use and lowering HIV sexual risk among adolescents.Associate Professor at the University of Colorado at Denver and Health Sciences Center.

长三角区域行政：形成、现状与前景

长三角区域行政的形成既得益于历史的影响和区位条件的便利,也得益于区域经济发展的推动,更与区域各地方政府的行政合作密不可分。目前长三角区域行政上的地方保护主义、“条块行政”还很严重、缺乏灵活有效的区域行政合作机制。上海要在区域行政发展中起“龙头”作用,面临许多的问题与挑战。因此,长三角区域行政的发展应采取折中的发展模式,积极理顺域内政府间关系,走区域行政一体化之路。

后新冠疫情时代中国开拓印度洋出海大通道的机遇与挑战

出海大通道的建设涉及中国的政治、经济和国家安全,是国家未来发展的关键利益所在.在新冠疫情影响下,国际格局受到二战以来前所未有的冲击,疫情已成为影响当前国家间关系、国际格局以及秩序的最重大因素.疫情带来的冲击短期内难以消除,在后疫情时代,国际形势仍将继续发生巨大转变,尤其是中美战略竞争全面升级给中国发展带来了前所未有的挑战.当前中国开拓和维护印度洋出海大通道的影响因素有增加和复杂化的趋势.此次疫情极大地冲击了各国经济,导致全球经济衰退,后新冠疫情时代促进经济发展将会是各国共同的目标.中国需继续推动"一带一路"建设,助力"一带一路"建设成为全球经济发展的引擎,吸引更多的国家加入.此外,中国应尽快推出"两洋出海"战略,构建新的出海格局,连接太平洋和印度洋的出海通道,形成战略互动.在对接"一带一路"的基础上将云南省打造成为中国印度洋出海通道上的战略支点,成为中国构建西南方向出海的中心和桥梁.在后疫情时代,中国需要清楚认识开拓印度洋出海大通道建设的必要性和紧迫性,抓紧印度洋出海大通道的谋篇布局,促进"一带一路"倡议和"两洋出海"战略的深入发展,保障中国的海洋权益,建设海洋强国.     

蓬勃与多元:20世纪以来《罗摩衍那》在中国藏区的译介与接受

印度史诗《罗摩衍那》自吐蕃时期传入中国藏区后,在悠久绵长的千年历史中扎根藏地,逐步成为藏族人民耳熟能详的外国经典故事.中国藏区的罗摩故事形态受到印度和藏区本土的历史语境、文化氛围、宗教传播及译介主体等多种现实因素的限制与影响.长期以来,由于《罗摩衍那》的印度教文本属性与藏区的藏传佛教信仰,藏族学者的文学接受过程中出现了大量过滤与变异现象.20世纪初,《罗摩衍那》的藏译与接受现象迎来了具有重要意义的历史性变迁.藏族学者筚路蓝缕,抛弃了狭隘的宗教派别偏见,力求探索真知,开创了《罗摩衍那》在藏区译介与接受史的系统化、全面化和多元化局面,呈现出全新的文学景观.以根敦群培为代表的藏族学者开始跳脱佛教神学观念藩篱,以人文史观与实证考察的学术方法开启对《罗摩衍那》的评判与研究.这与当时藏族学者学术价值观念的剧变紧密相连.此外,罗摩故事与藏戏表演艺术的密切结合使其根植于民间口头叙事传统,纷繁多样的藏戏流派因地制宜,基于地方性知识与各自独特的表演模式进行阐释,衍生出丰富各异的罗摩故事样态,进一步强化了藏族群众对这一古老外来题材的文化认知.可见,印度罗摩故事已深入当代藏族本土语境,成为藏族民众喜闻乐见、津津乐道的经典故事.     

Understanding the Elevated Risk of Partner Violence Against Aboriginal Women: A Comparison of Two Nationally Representative Surveys of Canada

Using two large-scale representative samples of Canada collected in 1999 and 2004, this study examined Aboriginal women’s elevated risk for violent victimization relative to non-Aboriginal women. Aboriginal women had about four times the odds of experiencing violence compared to non-Aboriginal women in both surveys. In general, there were fewer differences in the impact of risk factors between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal women in the 2004 than the 1999 survey, resulting in risk factors accounting for less of Aboriginal women’s elevated odds of experiencing violence in the 2004 than the 1999 survey. In both surveys, controlling for all available risk factors did not fully account for Aboriginal women’s elevated odds of experiencing violence. Results were consistent with the theory that much of Aboriginal women’s elevated odds of violent victimization may be linked to colonization. Future research is needed to provide direct evidence of a connection between cultural loss and Aboriginal women’s elevated odds of violent victimization.
