Jewish-Palestinian Relations in Israel: From Hegemony to Equality?

This article focuses on the relationships between the Jewish majority and the Palestinian minority in Israel. Opening with a historical perspective that emphasizes the marginality of the minority, the article proceeds to describe empirically that minority's inferior and subservient condition. The third section proposes an elaborate conceptual framework for analyzing politics in deeply divided societies and then applies it to the Israeli case. The final part addresses the possibility of transforming Israel's political system from one that is ethnically hegemonic and democratically flawed into a polity that is open, inclusive, and genuinely democratic. The article identifies ways for effecting such a systemic transformation through individual-based approaches (especially liberal democracy) and group-based designs (consociationalism, multinationalism, federalism, cantonization, and autonomy).     

人DNA指纹检测的初步研究

根据随机探针检测DNA限制片段长度多态性的原理和人与鼠的髓鞘硷性蛋白(MBP)基因cDNA有90％以上同源序列的事实,我们选用rMBP-cDNA 3'端非表达区高度重复顺序的0.81kb片段作探针,检测用HaeⅢ酶解的人DNA限制性片段结果可以分解出22条谱带,受检的30例无血缘关系的个体之间,没有两个人的谱带是完全相同的,显示出此方法的高度特异性。本文还比较了若干DNA片段作探针和几种限制性内切酶检测人DNA指纹的结果。     

猪肝细胞微粒P_(450)体外代谢隐丹参酮的研究

用钙离子沉淀法制备猪肝细胞微粒体Ｐ４５０ 进行了体外代谢隐丹参酮的研究。用Ｌｏｗｒｙ 法测定肝微粒体蛋白含量平均为２ ．４６０ ±０ ．６９９ ｍｇ／ ｍ Ｌ;Ｏｍ ｕｒａ 法测定猪肝微粒体Ｐ４５０ 含量平均为０ ．１７６ ±０ ．０５３ ｎ ｍｏｌ／ ｍ ｇ 。从Ｐ４５０加还原型辅酶Ⅱ的体外代谢系统中分离纯化了２ 个主要代谢产物,经光谱分析鉴定为丹参酮ⅡＡ 与１羟基丹参酮ⅡＡ,并比较了隐丹参酮在猪体内外的代谢差异。     

鸡毒霉形体人工感染肉用仔鸡后呼吸系统的病理形态学观察

７日龄健康肉用仔鸡气囊接种鸡毒霉形体（ＭＧ）ＨＳ２心株,３～５ｄ后出现典型的ＭＧ感染症状,其呼吸系统（主要为气管、肺及气囊）发生一系列病理组织学变化。采集感染鸡及对照鸡的气管经固定、脱水、临界点干燥、镀金后置于扫描电镜下观察,可见感染鸡气管粘膜明显水肿,纤毛部分或全部脱落等,而对照组鸡气管则无任何病变;光镜下可见感染鸡的气管粘膜水肿增厚１～２倍,粘膜下层单核白细胞聚集,其间有数量不等的淋巴细胞集团,粘液细胞减少或消失;气囊粘膜水肿增厚,有淋巴细胞增生而形成的串珠样结构;肺组织中有淋巴细胞增生形成的结节病灶,而对照鸡呼吸系统的组织切片在光镜下无任何异常变化。     

vWFⅢ基因座扩增片段长度多态性及其法医学应用

研究短串联重复vWⅢ基因应扩增片段长度多态性及其法医学意义。应用STR－PCR分型法对200名中国辽宁汉族无关个体的短串联重复VWFⅢ的多态性进行调查。共检出8个等位基因,频率分布在0．003～0．333,基因长度范围为154～182bP,个人识别能力为0．921,非父排除率为0．581。群体调查证实该基因座符合Hardy－Weinberg平衡,家系调查结果表明其遗传符合孟德尔方式。该基因座可作为人类群体遗传学的一个有价值的多态性标记,可用于法医学个人识别及亲子鉴定。     

论刑法修正的协调性

刑法修正的协调性是保障刑法公正性的基础性条件。《刑法修正案(十一)》新增罪(含修正罪)充分注意到了《刑法》与相关法律之间的协调(衔接)。但是,刑法修正还要考虑新增罪(修正罪)与既有罪之间、新增罪(修正罪)之间以及修正的刑法条文与相关刑法解释(含解释性文件)之间的协调。刑法修正需要在罪状的设置、法定刑的设置以及量刑情节的设置方面保持协调。面对协调性的瑕疵,可以通过补正解释的方法确保司法适用的公正,在解释论无法解决的情况下,则只能通过进一步修正刑法加以完善。     

The killer outfit and timing: Impact of the fabric and time in body fluid identification and DNA profiling

The present work aimed to study the detection, through lateral flow immunochromatographic (LFI) tests, of saliva samples over time in three different types of fabrics, as well as, the possibility of DNA isolation and characterization from the sample tubes and the cassettes. Fifty microliters of saliva (three samples/time) were deposited in denim, cotton, and polyester. Saliva was identified by SERATEC® Amylase Test and the Crime Scene version SALIVA CS, being able to detect it up to six months of deposition, although with different band intensities. Polyester showed stronger bands than cotton, probably due to its synthetic nature, and denim, as an inked fabric, showed less band intensities. Statistical analyses confirmed significant differences among fabrics, but not over time in the same type of fabric. Total DNA from the sample tubes was successfully recovered, in contrast, from the cassettes, only polyester retrieved amplifiable DNA. These findings indicated that it is possible to recover and identify saliva up to six months after deposition, also obtaining DNA. Future research will be able to expand these results, analyzing the stability of other body fluids, and the sensitivity of lateral flow immunochromatographic tests to detect them.     

Citizens’ Readiness to Adopt and Use E-government Services in the City of Harbin,China

This study applied the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to investigate the factors that would influence adoption and use of e-government services by citizens of Harbin in China. A total of 382 respondents took part in the study. The findings of this research revealed that Perceived Ease of Use, Perceived Service Quality, and Citizen Trust have significant positive impact on citizens’ intention to adopt and use e-government services while Perceived usefulness was found not to have any significant positive impact on citizens’ intention to use e-government services in Harbin, China. The implications of this study is further discussed.     

Climate finance in the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS)

Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) countries lack sufficient funds to combat climate change. The growth of projects under the clean development mechanism (CDM) is not consistent in the region and the relation of that growth to national GDP is not equivalent either. The disbursement of climate funds promised by different countries and donor organisations to different countries in GMS region is very low. A few countries have relied more on external funds to combat climate change, while some have developed their own funds. A strong database and involvement of civil societies might help the region better utilise these climate funds.     

Does plot size matter? Evidence from maize production in Babati District,Tanzania

Debates about optimal farm structure and size have a long history in agricultural economics. Agricultural and development economists argue for an inverse relationship between farm size and productivity, but debates around this remain inconclusive. This article provides a case from maize production in Babati District, Tanzania. The efficiency level of 122 sampled smallholder farmers was estimated and found to be 62.3%, suggesting 37.7% of inefficiencies. A U-shape relationship between plot size and efficiency scores was found. There was high efficiency at plots <2?ha, compared to 2?ha and 3?ha, followed by efficiency at plots >4?ha. Policies stimulating small- and large-scale farms in the country are imperative.
