The Reliability of Facial Recognition of Deceased Persons on Photographs

In humanitarian emergencies, such as the current deceased migrants in the Mediterranean, antemortem documentation needed for identification may be limited. The use of visual identification has been previously reported in cases of mass disasters such as Thai tsunami. This pilot study explores the ability of observers to match unfamiliar faces of living and dead persons and whether facial morphology can be used for identification. A questionnaire was given to 41 students and five professionals in the field of forensic identification with the task to choose whether a facial photograph corresponds to one of the five photographs in a lineup and to identify the most useful features used for recognition. Although the overall recognition score did not significantly differ between professionals and students, the median scores of 78.1% and 80.0%, respectively, were too low to consider this method as a reliable identification method and thus needs to be supported by other means.

中国行政法律文化30年演变与发展

行政法律文化是行政法治的灵魂,一个国家的行政法律文化,直接影响着该国行政法治的水平。从1978年十一届三中全会至今,我国的行政法律文化正处在由传统到现代的历史性嬗变过程中,即由权力本位逐步在走向权利本位;管理行政理念正在让渡服务行政理念;行政法治理念亦在渐渐取代行政人治理念,责任政府理念、民主政府理念、诚信政府理念等已成为民众的内心渴望和追求。现代行政法律文化逐步形成,并进一步繁荣、发展,推动着我国法治社会的建设。     

Tranarchism: transgender embodiment and destabilization of the state

Transgender, in the simplest sense, is an umbrella term for individuals whose gender identities and/or expressions of those identities fall outside of binary sex/gender identification norms. Though some anarchists live gender-transgressive lives, and some transgender people would call themselves anarchists, literature formally connecting the two modes of being is scarce. Much existing anarchist literature discussing issues of transgender identity attempts to determine whether gender non-conformity itself is inherently anarchic. The state dictates that gender is a necessary means of categorization in order to classify and manage people. Gender transgressors, in undermining a fundamental tool of the state, must then be acting anarchically. I argue, however, that imbuing trans identification with innate anarchic meanings is problematic. As anarchism itself can be manifested and lived in a myriad of highly variant, even contradictory, ways, gender subversion acts as a tool, rather than embodiment, of anarchy. This study uses queer, anarcha-feminist, and post-structuralist frameworks to examine gender transgression as a means of destabilizing the state by challenging state reliance on binary gender classifications. By understanding how transgender people who often interact with state authority for survival and legitimization posses the power to undermine it, anarchism can both empower and be empowered by the movement for gender justice.

中国法治发展的历程与社会动力——纪念82宪法颁布30周年

我国法治建设虽然经历了风风雨雨的曲折和披荆斩棘的艰难,但总体上廓清了法治天空中的许多迷雾,促使中国开始迈入法治初级阶段。1982宪法在恢复和加强民主法治方面有较大的进步,也存在诸多不足。当前的法治状况还有后退之忧。今后法治建设的目标应当由依法治国上升到依宪治国,建设宪政国家。法治改革的动力主要是来自民间的维权活动和公民社会的发展,与党政内部改革派力量结合,上下互动,政治改革与法治进步才有希望。
