刑事诉讼的物证鉴定制度新探

物证鉴定,就是指在诉讼活动中(此处主要是刑事诉讼的活动),遇到专门问题时,依照刑事诉讼法的规定委托具有专门知识的人,根据鉴定的资料和要求,运用勘验、分析、比较、综合评断等方法解决专门性问题并作出判断的一种科学技术活动。通过物证鉴定法律制度的完善,能发挥物证证明作用,促其成为科学的定罪处罚证据。     

Exploitation of the Ultraviolet Properties and Machine Cut Edges of Paper to Associate and Sequence Sheets in a Ream

Previously unreported line patterns visible under ultraviolet light were observed on a proportion of plain white A4 printer/copier paper from different manufacturers. These Ultraviolet Line Patterns (UVLPs) usually appear as stripes down the vertical length of the paper. Typically, the UVLPs were found to “repeat” through the ream in a predictable way, while also changing. It is postulated that the repeating nature of the UVLPs is a result of the way that paper is manufactured. This leads to the ability to sequence the sheets compared to their original source paper. Even in the absence of UVLPs, it is possible to use our observation of the manufacturing process to anticipate the order of several sheets of paper and conclusively associate them, in some cases, by physically fitting their machine cut edges and crossing paper fibers. Such a novel approach to examining questioned documents would be highly useful in forensic casework.     

Introduction to special section on the biological standard of living

In December 2008 the WOG Historical Demography organised a workshop at Ghent University that covered a wide range of topics from fertility trends and kinship characteristics to health issues. The presentations and discussions that took place at the workshop provided the inspiration for this special section on the biological standard of living. The articles in this section offer valuable contributions for three of those biological measures: height, mortality and cause of death. The introduction to the section demonstrates the significance of this particular kind of evidence for our understanding of social and economic history. Exploring and analysing the well-being of populations is one of the most interesting and main challenges of social scientists. As the articles in this special section show, using historical evidence on the health and height of a population is extremely important for our understanding of certain socio-economic processes, but also extremely complex.     

Innocents and Oracles: The Child as a Figure of Knowledge and Critique in the Middle-Class Philosophical Imagination

Abstract

This paper argues that the figure of the child performs a critical function for the middle-class social imaginary, representing both an essential "innocence" of the liberal individual, and an excluded, unconscious remainder of its project of control through the management of knowledge. While childhood is invested with affect and value, children's agency and opportunities for social participation are restricted insofar as they are seen both to represent an elementary humanity and to fall short of full rationality, citizenship and identity. The diverse permutations of this figure, as it develops in the middle-class imagination, are traced from the writings of John Locke to the films of Michael Haneke (via Charles Dickens and Henry James), to interrogate what this ambivalence regarding childhood reflects about middle-class, adult identity.     

Assessing the Health Behaviors of African American Emerging Adults

The purpose of this article was to assess the overall health behaviors of African American emerging adults who live in a Midwestern city. Two hundred participants, ages 18–25, completed a 129-item survey. Results indicate that African American emerging adults are engaged in relatively healthy behaviors (i.e., physical activity, low substance use). The results also showed that within the emerging adult developmental period, there are differences in behavior for those who are in the younger (18–20) versus those that are older (21–25) in the developmental period. Limitations, future research, and implications for practice will also be discussed.     

Preventive Care for Patients with Coronary Heart Disease

Preventive care and patients' health behaviors cah have dramatic impacts on the course of coronary heart disease (CHD). Although the importance of preventive care is accepted by most health care providers, studies consistently indicate that the delivery of these services is frequently inadequate. This article reviews the literature on the development of strategies to provide preventive care. Its aim is to shed light on potential methods for improving preventive service delivery to patients with CHD. The thesis is that through greater attention to the role of information technology and creative strategies for improving patient outreach, barriers that have been encountered in the provision of preventive care may be surmountable. In particular, recent advances involving computer systems to remind clinicians to perform preventive procedures and more aggressive telephone contact with patients between ambulatory care visits may improve the care of patients with CHD. Future work is needed to refine these strategies and to identify the types of CHD patients who are most likely to benefit from receiving them.     

我国工伤保险程序存在的问题及完善
