Baltic Studies in North America: A Survey of Academic Dissertations 1911–2006

ABSTRACT

The article argues for an extended delineation of increasing Western cultural hegemony in the reconstituted Baltic states. An initial idiom of postcolonial studies is revisited in order to complement their dominant scope in the Baltics, focused primarily on a retrospective cultural study of Baltic/Soviet relationships. The argument elaborates on the urgency of the expanding research agenda regarding the Baltic/European research framework. By pointing out the frequent occurrence of the superiority or inferiority value scale in cross-cultural references sampled from press releases of the Art Museum of Estonia, the article concludes that mainstream cultural self-reflection in Estonia is nowadays subjected to the supremacy of the imagined West European viewpoint.     

Efficacy of Several Candidate Protein Biomarkers in the Differentiation of Vaginal from Buccal Epithelial Cells*

Abstract: Currently, there is no accurate method to differentiate vaginal epithelial cells from buccal epithelial cells in biological samples typically encountered in forensic casework. This study tested the expression of a selection of candidate proteins in buccal and vaginal epithelial cells. We investigated six candidate biomarkers, such as loricrin, vimentin, stratifin, cytokeratin 4, cytokeratin 13, small proline‐rich protein 2, and involucrin, using Western blot analysis on whole protein extracts and immunohistochemistry (IHC) on intact cells in an attempt to identify cell‐specific markers that would differentiate these cells by microscopy. Involucrin, loricrin, and stratifin showed differential expression during Western blot analysis and were carried through to IHC. Although proteins unique to vaginal epithelial cells and buccal epithelial cells were not identified from among the proteins tested, the increased expression levels of two proteins, loricrin and stratifin in vaginal cells, when compared to buccal cells, do provide encouraging results in the search for epithelial cell‐specific markers.     

European national news

The regular article tracking developments at the national level in key European countries in the area of IT and communications – co-ordinated by Herbert Smith LLP and contributed to by firms across Europe. This column provides a concise alerting service of important national developments in key European countries. Part of its purpose is to compliment the Journal’s feature articles and briefing notes by keeping readers abreast of what is currently happening “on the ground” at a national level in implementing EU level legislation and international conventions and treaties. Where an item of European National News is of particular significance, CLSR may also cover it in more detail in the current or a subsequent edition.     

中世纪刑法对现代西方刑法思想的人文指归

提起中世纪西方刑法学,"刑法文明史中的漫漫长夜","蒙昧、残酷、专制"等负面评价遮掩了其应有的光辉。其实,在陷于四分五裂的战争时期的欧洲,强调抑制原欲、注重心灵赎罪、提倡群体理性的教会刑法思想具有特殊意义的人文性与进步性。它以强大的宗教力量使得欧洲刑法观念呈现出空前整齐、划一的状态;这种历经千年积淀而成的刑法文化,维持并传承了欧洲统一的价值观念与信仰体系,对近、现代西方刑法思想的发展起着重要的提挈与引导作用。

西方语法学的产生早于中国语法学的原因探究

西方语法学的产生早于中国语法学的原因主要有三个方面：从语言本身看，欧洲诸语言的语法特点是形态变化丰富，汉语语法的特点是语法意义通过语序和虚词来体现；从哲学对语法学发展的影响看，欧洲哲学重逻辑，中国哲学重感悟；社会生活对语法研究的影响方面，欧洲诸国间的交往比中国与周边国家的交往更密切。     

浅析美国海波因特市社区警务行动——对该市“西部行动”的案例分析

开展社区警务是解决当下我国社会转型期犯罪率较高、治安形势复杂及警力不足等问题的有效方法。由于该理念和实践源于英美等国,这些国家的经验对我国顺利开展社区警务来说十分重要。美国海波因特市2003年开展的社区警务活动是一次较为完整和成功的社区警务行动,借鉴研究其流程及启示,能够有助于我国社区警务理论和实践的发展。     

试析后冷战时代欧洲地缘政治的变化

从地缘政治视角考察,欧洲可划分为两大板块：＂心脏地带＂和＂边缘地带＂,与之相对应的是欧洲还存在两大地缘政治势力,即陆权势力和海权势力。冷战时代欧洲地缘政治格局的主要特征是苏联代表的陆权势力和美国代表的海权势力在两大地缘政治板块上的对立与均势。而后冷战时代的今天,欧洲地缘政治失去了这种战略平衡：陆权势力收缩而海权势力扩张,心脏地带衰落而边缘地带崛起。同时不应忽视,全球化和新科技革命,也都赋予了欧洲传统地缘政治形态以新的特征。
