Planning for the succession of digital assets

Estate planners’ current strategies for the disposition of digital assets are quickly becoming out-dated. This is largely the result of ambiguities concerning proprietary rights of digital assets after death. When advising clients on how to plan for the succession of digital assets, it is important for estate planners to understand the nature of digital assets today and to recognize how these assets may evolve. In failing to take into account the evolving nature of digital assets, estate planners are liable to craft short-sighted and thus ineffective succession plans. As the popularity of digital executor businesses increases, estate planners ought to caution clients on their shortcomings. Additionally, legislatures must create statutes which outline the rights of individuals vis-à-vis online service providers.     

视频图像侦查中涉案目标消失的原因分析与应对

在视频图像侦查过程中,经常会发生视频追踪对象在某个特定区域的视频监控图像中＂消失＂的现象。它可能是由于存在监控盲区造成的,也有可能是由于犯罪嫌疑人的反侦查行为,或者侦查员在视频监控资料收集、处理、查看过程中存在问题造成的。因此,我们可以通过合理布局,减少监控盲区,广泛收集和处理视频监控资料,深入查看和分析视频消失区域,多种侦查手段并用等途径来加以应对。     

加快数字图书馆建设提升社院信息化水平

在信息技术快速发展和互联网应用广泛普及的今天,社会主义学院图书馆建设面临着重大的机遇与挑战。本文以福建省社会主义学院为例,对如何加快传统图书馆向数字图书馆转型,实现建设具有统一战线特色的文献和情报信息中心这一目标进行探索与思考。     

间断—平衡模型：长期政策变迁的非线性解释

政策变迁并非只是渐进的过程,重大的政策转变和政策中断也时常发生。以逻辑经验主义为基础的渐进主义模型只强调政策的渐进性变迁,而忽略政策的间断性变迁。建立在库恩科学范式基础上的政策研究不仅关注政策的渐进性变迁,而且也关注政策的间断性变迁。＂间断-平衡模型＂建立在有限理性决策和制度结构基础上,认为政府政策制定具有稳定性和间断性的特点。该模型有效解释了长期政策稳定过程中伴有偶尔急剧变迁的现象,为长期政策变迁提供了新的解释框架。本文介绍了＂间断-平衡模型＂的缘起、理论基础、核心观点、解释过程等几个方面,最后对模型进行简要评述。     

利用足迹自动识别系统对现场足迹进行图像处理

针对现场足迹的特点,在足迹自动识别系统原理的基础上,分析研究影响足迹图象质量的各种因素,并就这些不同原因,给出有效的足迹图象处理方法。结果表明,利用足迹自动识别系统对现场足迹进行处理,可以得到较高质量的足迹图象。同时,相比较其他图象处理方法,该方法简单、方便,具有较好实用性和可操作性,从而提高了现场足迹的利用率。     

中共在陕甘宁边区执政形象探析

中国共产党在陕甘宁边区掌握局部政权期间,以陕甘宁边区为“一切工作的试验区”,把合乎最广大人民群众的最大利益和为最广大人民群众所拥护作为价值坐标,推进民主政治建设,健全法制,建设廉洁政府,倡导深入实际、调查研究,领导人民发展经济、文化教育和医疗卫生事业,开展社会改造运动,塑造和展示出中共在陕甘宁边区执政的民主、廉洁、亲民、为民形象,给我们留下深刻启示。     

韩国古代诗歌的大唐影响——杜甫与李达诗中的“马”意象

韩国古代＂三唐诗人＂致力于学习中国唐诗,努力将自己的诗风与唐诗接近,在唐代诗人中,杜甫的诗成为他们学习和模仿的典范。李达与杜甫的人生遭际类似,一生处于社会底层,抑郁不得志,他的《柳摠戎紫骝马歌》是赠与知己友人柳珩的诗.表达了一个远离于主流社会的局外人的悲哀。他借鉴了杜甫诗中的＂马＂意象,但又有所不同。杜甫在自己的作品中,通过＂马＂的形象映射自己的理想和抱负,而李达的诗中只是以一个叙事者的身份状物抒情,没有达到杜甫的意象高度,李达虽然模仿了唐诗,但并没有完全悟透其中滋味。本文试图通过一个侧面,揭示韩国古代三唐诗人在接受中国唐代诗歌中的得失。     

BODY‐WORN CAMERAS AS A POTENTIAL SOURCE OF DEPOLICING: TESTING FOR CAMERA‐INDUCED PASSIVITY

Contentious debate is currently taking place regarding the extent to which public scrutiny of the police post‐Ferguson has led to depolicing or to a decrease in proactive police work. Advocates of the “Ferguson effect” claim the decline in proactive policing increased violent crime and assaults on the police. Although police body‐worn cameras (BWCs) are touted as a police reform that can generate numerous benefits, they also represent a form of internal and public surveillance on the police. The surveillance aspect of BWCs suggests that BWCs may generate depolicing through camera‐induced passivity. We test this question with data from a randomized controlled trial of BWCs in Spokane (WA) by assessing the impact of BWCs on four measures: officer‐initiated calls, arrests, response time, and time on scene. We employ hierarchical linear and cross‐classified models to test for between‐ and within‐group differences in outcomes before and after the randomized BWC rollout. Our results demonstrate no evidence of statistically significant camera‐induced passivity across any of the four outcomes. In fact, self‐initiated calls increased for officers assigned to treatment during the RCT. We discuss the theoretical and policy implications of the findings for the ongoing dialogue in policing.     

The suitability of visual taphonomic methods for digital photographs: An experimental approach with pig carcasses in a tropical climate

In the context of increased scrutiny of the methods in forensic sciences, it is essential to ensure that the approaches used in forensic taphonomy to measure decomposition and estimate the postmortem interval are underpinned by robust evidence-based data. Digital photographs are an important source of documentation in forensic taphonomic investigations but the suitability of the current approaches for photographs, rather than real-time remains, is poorly studied which can undermine accurate forensic conclusions. The present study aimed to investigate the suitability of 2D colour digital photographs for evaluating decomposition of exposed human analogues (Sus scrofa domesticus) in a tropical savanna environment (Hawaii), using two published scoring methods; Megyesi et al., 2005 and Keough et al., 2017. It was found that there were significant differences between the real-time and photograph decomposition scores when the Megyesi et al. method was used. However, the Keough et al. method applied to photographs reflected real-time decomposition more closely and thus appears more suitable to evaluate pig decomposition from 2D photographs. The findings indicate that the type of scoring method used has a significant impact on the ability to accurately evaluate the decomposition of exposed pig carcasses from photographs. It was further identified that photographic taphonomic analysis can reach high inter-observer reproducibility. These novel findings are of significant importance for the forensic sciences as they highlight the potential for high quality photograph coverage to provide useful complementary information for the forensic taphonomic investigation. New recommendations to develop robust transparent approaches adapted to photographs in forensic taphonomy are suggested based on these findings.
