Sex determination from hand and foot dimensions in a North Indian population

Hands and feet are often recovered from the site of natural as well as man-made disasters because of bomb blasts, train accidents, plane crashes, or mass homicides. This study is intended to establish standards for determination of sex from the dimensions of hands and feet in a North Indian population. The data for this study comprise 123 men and 123 women aged between 17 and 20 years from the "Rajput" population of Himachal Pradesh in North India. Four anthropometric measurements viz. hand length, hand breadth, foot length, and foot breadth have been taken on both sides of each subject following international anthropometric standards. The hand index (hand breadth/hand length × 100) and the foot index (foot breadth/foot length × 100) were calculated. Sectioning points and regression models are derived for the hand and foot dimensions and the derived indices. The hand and foot dimensions show a higher accuracy in sex determination by sectioning point analysis when compared to hand and foot index. Of the hand and the foot dimensions, hand breadth and foot breadth showed better accuracy in sex determination. Hand index and foot index remain poor sex discriminators in the study.     

A Minimally Invasive Technique for the Detection and Analysis of Pulmonary Fat Embolism: A Feasibility Study*

We investigated the feasibility of postmortem percutaneous needle biopsy (PNB) for obtaining pulmonary samples adequate for the study of pulmonary fat embolism (PFE). Samples of both lungs were obtained from 26 cadavers via two different methods: (i) PNB and (ii) the double-edged knife technique, the gold standard at our institute. After water storage and Sudan III staining, six forensic pathologists independently examined all samples for the presence and severity of PFE. The results were compared and analyzed in each case regarding the vitality of the PFE and its relationship to the cause of death. The results showed that PFE was almost identically diagnosed and graded on the samples obtained via both methods. The discrepancies between the two techniques did not affect the diagnoses of vitality or cause of death related to PFE. This study demonstrates the feasibility of the PNB sampling method for the diagnosis and interpretation of PFE in the postmortem setting.     

加强“虚拟社会”反恐治安防控体系建设的思考

"虚拟社会"是互联网时代出现的一种新的社会形态,对整个社会产生着广泛而深远的影响,同时对社会政治稳定的现实威胁也日益凸显,成为公安工作的第二战场。近年来境内外"三股势力"把互联网作为其分裂破坏的重要工具,在网上大肆宣传、煽动和非法结社,恐怖活动网络化的趋势愈益突出,而反恐治安防控体系在立法、机制和技术等方面明显滞后。应切实把握虚拟社会与现实社会共振的特征,加强和完善"虚拟社会"治安综合治理体系、"虚拟社会"治安防控体系,"虚拟社会"管理法律法规建设和新疆维吾尔文官方网站建设。

支付宝虚拟账户支付的法律分析及规制

支付宝虚拟账户支付是国内最大独立第三方支付平台支付宝提供的一种在线支付模式，该支付模式通过用户支付宝账户余额的借记与贷记来完成支付。对支付流程及特征的梳理可发现：支付宝提供虚拟账户支付欠缺合法主体资质；该支付模式的具体服务内容违法；用户在支付宝虚拟账户内的“余额”实为其发行的电子货币。支付宝借虚拟账户支付模式从事电子货币发行。基于此，应将该支付模式纳入电子货币的监管，未来立法应从资本金要求、投资限制、回赎电子货币义务方面予以规制，目前则应加强行业自律及由银行监督管理部门对其加以监管。
