Effect of History and Context on Forensic Pathologist Interpretation of Photographs of Patterned Injury of the Skin

In a previous study, a survey‐based analysis of pathologist diagnoses of patterned injury was performed. Subjects were provided with photographs of “classic” injuries and asked to diagnose the lesion in the absence of history or context. There was a relatively low diagnostic consensus among respondents. A second survey suggested that the disparate answers were not due to a strong belief in different diagnoses, but instead reflected how the respondents dealt with ambiguity. A third survey was created that asked participants to evaluate patterned injuries of the skin, but provided history and contextual information. The addition of history and contextual information increased consensus from a median of 80% to 98% on a per‐question basis. Confidence increased from a median of 56%–92%. These results demonstrate the importance of history and context in medical diagnosis of patterned injuries of the skin.     

Evaluation of maxillary sinus dimensions in gender determination using helical CT scanning

Gender determination is an important step in identification in forensic medicine. CT measurements of maxillary sinuses may be useful to support gender identification. This study was undertaken to study the accuracy and reliability of maxillary sinus dimensions measurement in gender classification through the use of reconstructed helical CT images. Eighty-eight patients (43 men and 45 women) with age range from 20 to 49 years were selected in this study. The width, length, and height of the maxillary sinuses in addition to the total distance across both sinuses were measured. Data were subjected to discriminant analysis for gender using multiple regression analysis. Maxillary sinus height was the best discriminant parameter that could be used to study sexual dimorphism with an overall accuracy of 71.6%. Using multivariate analysis, 74.4% of male sinuses and 73.3% of female sinuses were sexed correctly. The overall percentage for sexing maxillary sinuses correctly was 73.9%. It can be concluded that reconstructed CT image can provide valuable measurements for maxillary sinuses and could be used for sexing when other methods of sexing are not conclusive.     

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。     

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。     

请求权竞合论:以诉之选择性合并为归宿

请求权竞合问题由来已久,产生于actio体制的分离过程中。为了解决这个问题,民法表现为两种态度,一者为直面之,并寻求规范适用上的先后;一者则径直加以否认,视之为基础或规范竞合。相反,在民事诉讼领域中,围绕此问题引发了旷日持久的诉讼标的论争,最后以德国采用二分肢说,日本采用一分肢说加以解决。我国实体法径直要求当事人起诉时作出选择的方法弊端丛生,诉的选择性合并理论可以提供一种最优的解决方案。     

犯罪客体若干问题研究

在我国刑法理论中,犯罪客体是一个研究相对薄弱同时又广受争议的范畴。文章从犯罪客体与犯罪构成、犯罪对象、法条竞合的关系入手,重新审视犯罪客体的重要作用,深入研究犯罪客体的相关范畴,从而让犯罪客体的潜在价值真正发挥出来。     

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。     

Arts Organizations and Branding: Creating a New Joint Brand for Three Arts Organizations

This article investigates brand architecture by analyzing stakeholder perceptions of brand images when a new joint brand is created for the existing brands of three arts organizations. The theoretical framework is based on previous literature on brand architecture and brand image. The empirical study is based on a quantitative, 418-respondent survey among stakeholders of these three arts organizations. The study makes two major theoretical contributions. First, the results show that the new joint brand can be endorsed by the existing sub-brands, contrary to brand-architecture literature. Second, even in the case of a new brand, stakeholders perceive the functional attributes as important.
