传统法理学面临的挑战--虚拟法律关系

阐述了在网络技术环境下,由虚拟财产作为中介而形成的虚拟社会中的法律关系。这种社会法律关系的特点具有虚拟性、现实性和真实性。法理学界应重视研究虚拟法律关系,给立法和司法予以理论指导和阐释。     

论虚拟财产若干法律问题研究

这是一个数字时代，虚拟财产逐渐进入并影响着人们的生活。关于虚拟财产的概念、性质以及虚拟财产的转让等，成了法律理论界和实务界不能回避的问题。本文结合法律理论和实践对以上若干问题进行了分析，认为虚拟财产不是物权。从不同主体的角度看，在不同的情形下，虚拟财产可能是著作权，可能是债权，还可能既包括著作权又包括债权。     

基于法律、技术与伦理的虚拟社会隐私权研究

虚拟社会作为信息技术发展之后形成的崭新的人类生存空间，以其庞大的数据库和信息高速公路将人们带入全新的网络时代。与此同时，虚拟社会隐私权的问题也逐渐引起关注：世界各国建立了一系列的法律法规来保护公民的虚拟社会隐私权，我国的立法保护对此也有所体现，但未形成完整的法律体系。我们应该从法律、技术、伦理角度采取综合措施构建公民的虚拟社会隐私权保护体系。     

Officers’ memory and stress in virtual lethal force scenarios: Implications for policy and training

ABSTRACT

Sworn law enforcement officers (N?=?151) were exposed to two different simulated lethal force encounters, a motorcycle-traffic-stop (MTS) and a workplace violence incident. Workplace violence incidents (WPV) consisted of two versions: an original version (WVO) and an enhanced version (WVE) with additional tactile and auditory stimuli within the simulation environment. Officers’ recognition memory (immediate and 48?h later), perceived stress, and physiological stress responses were examined. Delayed reporting led to impaired memory for event information in the MTS and perpetrator information in the WVE simulation. Moreover, perpetrator information was remembered more accurately than event information. Two physiological stress markers – alpha amylase and immunoglobulin-a – were correlated with memory for the simulated experiences; however, cortisol and interleukin-6 were not. These findings support current theory related to arousal and memory suggesting that officers should be interviewed as soon as reasonably possible after a lethal force incident. Implications for legal parameters in defining a ‘reasonable officer’ exerting lethal force are considered.

大陆首例QQ号码盗窃案的法律适用探讨

通过对我国大陆首例QQ号码盗窃案的法律适用问题的分析,指出在罪刑法定原则下,对此类案件以盗窃罪论处缺少充分法律依据,建议通过完善计算机犯罪、侵犯通信自由罪以及建立对虚拟财产独立的法律保护体系,来应对此类新型犯罪。     

现场分析处理技术的研究与思考

随着科技的发展，三维信息、三维虚拟现实动画已经越来越多的出现在人们的视野中。国内一些公安机关已经将三维虚拟技术应用到犯罪现场数据采集中，为了减少三维采集数据处理的时间，提高应用数据的效率。本文将研究方向定位在研发一个集一维信息、二维信息、三维信息、漫游系统、三维仿真动画等功能于一身的三维制作平台，并探讨其在案件侦查中的运用。     

Anthropological Measurement of the Juvenile Clavicle Using Multi‐Detector Computed Tomography—Affirming Reliability

Currently, there is no standardized protocol for multi‐detector computed tomography (MDCT) measurement of juvenile remains. Using 33 juvenile clavicles, this paper investigates a protocol to allow MDCT measurements, comparable or supplemental with traditional osteometric measurements, to be acquired for application to previously published algorithms. The results illustrate that there is no significant difference between MDCT measurements and those taken by direct osteometric methods. By presenting such a protocol, this paper takes the first steps toward validation of the process of conversion from measurement of dry juvenile bone to MDCT compatibility and allows the forensic world to take a step forward in standardizing the way MDCT is used for forensic practice. This paper assesses the limitations and potential applications of this virtual approach and offers some suggestions for where further work might progress the conversion of these new approaches into legally admissible anthropological techniques of age estimation.     

Remembering remotely: would video-mediation impair witnesses' memory reports?

Witnesses often experience lengthy delays prior to being interviewed, during which their memories inevitably decay. Video-communication technology – favored by intergovernmental organizations for playing larger roles in judicial processes – might circumvent some of the resourcing problems that can exacerbate such delays. However, whereas video-mediation might facilitate expeditious interviewing, it might also harm rapport-building, make witnesses uncomfortable, and thereby undermine the quality and detail of their reports. Participants viewed a crime film and were interviewed either one day later via video-link, one day later face-to-face, or 1–2 weeks later face-to-face. Video-mediation neither influenced the detail or the accuracy of participants' reports, nor their ratings of the quality of the interviews. However, participants who underwent video-mediated interviews after a short delay gave more accurate, detailed reports than participants who waited longer to be interviewed face-to-face. This study provides initial empirical evidence that video-mediated communication (VMC) could facilitate the expeditious conduct of high-quality investigative interviews.     

Towards African Communication Science curricula: Challenges for higher education

Abstract

This article explores the integration of Africanism in curriculum content of Communication as a science on the level of higher education. Africanism is not treated as something to be added to curriculum content, but is regarded as an integral part of an institutional strategy of post-apartheid and post-merger transformation. This article is divided into two sections. The first focuses on strategic shifts that have to be considered when revisiting curricula content and the dilemma of linguistic pluralism. The second section deals with the operational processes that are necessary when revisiting curriculum content, by focusing specifically on the application of collaboration and assessment as mechanisms for planning and negotiating changes to curriculum content, plus the nature of key determinants of the interrelationships among academics, higher-education institutions and adult learners. The article concludes with critical questions which Communication curriculum designers and academics need to ask in their research and training endeavours to contribute to the national development goals and social reconstruction.
