A Comparison of Dental Chartings Performed at the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command Central Identification Laboratory and the Kokura Central Identification Unit on Remains Identified from the Korean War

During the Korean War, the Office of the Quartermaster General's Graves Registration Service (GRS) was responsible for the recovery, processing, identification, and repatriation of US remains. In January 1951, the GRS established a Central Identification Unit (CIU) at Kokura, Japan. At the Kokura CIU, postmortem dental examinations were performed by the dental technicians. Thirty‐nine postmortem dental examinations performed at the CIU were compared to the findings documented in the Forensic Odontology Reports written at the JPAC Central Identification Laboratory (CIL). Differences were noted in 20 comparisons (51%). The majority of the discrepancies was considered negligible and would not alter the JPAC decision to disinter a set of unknown remains. Charting discrepancies that were considered significant included the occasional failure of the Kokura technicians to identify teeth with inter‐proximal or esthetic restorations and the misidentification of a mechanically prepared tooth (i.e., tooth prepared for a restoration) as a carious surface.     

The Role of Interface Shape on the Impact Characteristics and Cranial Fracture Patterns Using the Immature Porcine Head Model, ,

The forensic literature suggests that when adolescents fall onto edged and pointed surfaces, depressed fractures can occur at low energy levels. This study documents impact biomechanics and fracture characteristics of infant porcine skulls dropped onto flat, curved, edged, and focal surfaces. Results showed that the energy needed for fracture initiation was nearly four times higher against a flat surface than against the other surfaces. While characteristic measures of fracture such as number and length of fractures did not vary with impact surface shape, the fracture patterns did depend on impact surface shape. While experimental impacts against the flat surface produced linear fractures initiating at sutural boundaries peripheral to the point of impact (POI), more focal impacts produced depressed fractures initiating at the POI. The study supported case‐based forensic literature suggesting cranial fracture patterns depend on impact surface shape and that fracture initiation energy is lower for more focal impacts.

我国商业银行混业经营发展分析

随着世界经济一体化和金融服务多元化的发展,混业经营已经成为未来金融行业发展的主流模式,我国所奉行的分业经营模式弊端日益显现,在这种情况下,相关政策开始松动,金融监管当局开始鼓励商业银行向混业经营进行发展,银行自身业务呈多元化发展,金融控股集团雏形初现。     

我国农村社会养老保险中政府财政责任探讨

政府是社会保障中重要的主体,在大部分国家政府承担着社会保障的主要责任.本文在对政府社会保障责任来源进行理论阐述后,以我国政府的财政责任为研究对象,通过对目前我国农村社会养老保险的现状以及我国农村面临的特殊环境进行分析后,明确我国政府必须在农村社会养老保险中承担适度的财政责任.     

司法腐败预防体系的建设

司法腐败产生的根源有转型期特定的社会背景;司法体制设置不合理;司法监督机制不健全,监督不力;司法人员整体素质不高。建设司法腐败的预防体系主要包括:强化教育,形成自律;健全完善制度,加大防范力度;健全监督机制,加大惩治力度;加强身份和经济保障,构筑激励机制。     

多元化纠纷解决机制探析——兼论我国ADR之构建

多元化纠纷解决机制,是对世界各国普遍存在的、民事诉讼制度以外的非诉讼纠纷解决方式的忌称。其兴起与发展除了来自诉讼的压力及其固有弊端外,一个重要原因是现代社会和当事人在利益、价值观、偏好和各种实际需要方面的多元化,本质上需要多元化的纠纷解决方式,需要有更多的选择权。我国拥有建构多元化纠纷解决机制的深厚的文化传统和大量可利用的资源,但由于市场经济尚未充分发展、法治尚不健全,许多现代型的ADR仍不成熟．因此,我国在借鉴外因ADR经验的同时,更要立足本国国情,构建一个包括协商、调解、仲裁、和解等多种方式组成的多元化纠纷解决机制,使社会通过纠纷的解决回归和谐。     

政府与社区协同管理模式——城市社区管理体制变革走势分析

居委会自其建立时始就具有强烈的“剩余性”和“行政赋予性”色彩,它增强了其在经济社会发展历程中职能发展的弹性和行政性发展的倾向,并使其成为企业、政府职责下放的承担者。居委会组织的现行角色与自治组织的定位明显不符引发了基层管理体制的变革要求。虽然在基层管理体制改革的问题上存在基层自治能力弱化、政府在基层缺乏职责承担者、单位社会遗痕影响社区资源整合等问题,但是构建政府管理与社区自治的协作共生机制依然是我们的适当选择。     

论对授权立法中授权行为的监控——各国现制比较及我国现制之反省

要提高授权立法的社会效益,就必须加强对授权行为的规制,明确权力秩序,确立授权禁区。另外, 授权还必须具有明确性, 对立法者必须具有他律和外部制约措施。     

中国市场经济法律:进展与评价

我国建立社会主义市场经济是在计划经济的基础上进行的,由此决定了市场经济法律体系的特殊性。目前中国的市场经济法律体系已初步形成,但仍存在不足：如观念尚待更新;企业受到过多的行政管制;市场经济法律体系有待完备,须及早颁行反垄断法、国有资产法、国民经济稳定增长法、计划法等;法律可操作性不够。今后,更重要的将是提高执法水平、严格执法程序、惩治司法腐败。
