Ethical issues in child and adolescent forensic psychiatry: a review

Ethical challenges in child and adolescent forensic psychiatry arise, on the one hand, from the dilemmas commonly faced in forensic psychiatry with adult patients, such as the dual role of the forensic psychiatrist, questions of criminal responsibility, autonomy and competence and involuntary treatment, and, on the other, from the immaturity and dependent position of the minor. Child and adolescent forensic psychiatry deals with minors involved in crime, not only as offenders, but also as victims. In this review, we attempt to describe ethical challenges in child and adolescent psychiatry using as a frame of reference the principles of biomedical ethics according to Beauchamp and Childress.     

文学VS政治:帕慕克的文学思想探源

帕慕克以创作闻名世界,而其文学思想尤其是有关"文学与政治"的论述独树一帜,迄今尚未引起学界重视。本文参照其创作实践,并将相关论述与当代西方文论进行广泛比较发现:首先,帕慕克将"文学与政治"问题作出解说;其次,他提出另一种文学的政治性,并讨论了非西方的压迫社会的文学与政治的悖论关系,提醒人们文学批评与研究不能忽视文学作品的虚构性此一重要特点;最后,他重新定义"文学与政治"的关系,尽力创设一种超越文学与政治二元对立框架的阅读文学的方法框架,加深我们对殖民与后殖民文学的理解和研究。     

伪满洲国校园文化背景中的女性新文学及其存在语境

本文通过伪满洲国时期女子校园刊物《萃文季刊》和官方综合性期刊《新满洲》的女学生新文学现象,阐释日本文化殖民对殖民地青年女性渗透和毒害的演进。"五四"新文化运动生发的追求平等、自由和婚姻自主的"新女性"观,在殖民主义奴化教育下异化为国家民族性质的"贤妻良母主义"。"贤妻良母主义"是战时体制下日本军国主义推行的日本"妇德"在伪满洲国的移植。摇篮期的殖民地女性文学在五四新思想的自由理念和殖民地"国民精神"等历史"酵素"的作用下,承载了沉重而复杂的精神向度,使满洲青年女性的精神趋向由"五四"新文化影响的个体本位转向了殖民地"家国"本位的历史变异。考察伪满洲国校园女性文学现象,对于我们认识日本侵华时期对中国占领区实施殖民奴化教育和文化侵略具有重要的现实意义。     

The New Chum girl: Upending Colonial Clichés in Lilian Turner's Emigration Novel

This essay analyses Lilian Turner's Three New Chum Girls (1910) to show how settler authors played with colonial clichés as part of a critical reaction to shifting imperialist and nationalist ideologies at the turn of the century. In particular, Turner redefines the derogatory colonial term “new chum”—commonly used to describe a recent emigrant in the settler colonies—to suggest what the welcome of new arrivals ought to be like. Yet if her deliberate reworking of stereotypes consequently contains an element of wish-fulfilment, the narrative also offers a startlingly stark portrayal of settler life. Emigration, Turner contends in the novel, is neither easy nor a solution to problems at home. Nor does settler Australia provide a convenient space for fortune-seeking sojourns. Turner thus dismantles two clusters of common clichés: emigration as a pat ending in fiction and settlers' return to the homeland as an equally expedient plot twist. The self-irony that runs through much of her intertextual rewriting of both metropolitan fiction and male-coded settler writing reveals how emigration and return were being imagined and written about differently in the settler colonies and how Turner was utilising the exposure of false expectations to promote her vision of a welcoming settler community.     

Governing public–private partnerships: A systematic review of case study literature

Governance plays a critical role in determining the success and failure of public–private partnerships (PPPs). We conducted a systematic review of case study literature on PPP governance and developed a governance framework consisting of 21 issues in four groups: institutional, organizational, contractual, and managerial. Then, we investigate the dynamics of governance issues, including the relative importance, interrelationships, and connections with PPP success and failure. Results suggest that PPPs should emphasize cooperation, trust, communication, capability, risk allocation and sharing, competition, and transparency in their governance. We also found that the governance practice of emphasizing dominant and direct factors and ignoring recessive and indirect ones has hindered PPPs’ success.     

The advocacy coalition framework in Japan: Contributions to policy process studies and the challenges involved

The advocacy coalition framework (ACF), a unified framework for understanding the policy process, has been applied in various countries and regions; however, there are few contributions from Japan, despite seemingly favorable conditions for applying it. An exploration of what hinders ACF applications in Japan is worthwhile for developing the ACF as a framework for comparative policy process studies across various social and political settings. Therefore, this study aims to systematically review previous Japanese ACF studies. Our review found that Japanese ACF studies are fewer in number, have less coverage of policy fields, and have less methodological diversity and transparency than international trends. While most of the Japanese ACF studies supported the basic hypotheses of the ACF, we found a need to refine some hypotheses and research methods of the ACF studies. We also discuss the background factors in the inactivity of ACF studies in Japan and suggest solutions for it.

Development and Validation of a Virtual Examination Tool for Firearm Forensics, ,

The transition from 2D imaging to 3D scanning in the discipline of firearms and toolmark analysis is likely to provide examiners an unprecedented view of microscopic surface topography. The digital examination of measured 3D surface topographies has been referred to as virtual microscopy (VM). The approach offers several potential advantages over traditional comparison microscopy. Like any new analytic method, VM must be validated prior to its use in a crime laboratory. This paper describes one of the first validation studies of virtual microscopy. Fifty‐six participants at fifteen laboratories used virtual microscopic tools to complete two proficiency‐style tests for cartridge case identification. All participating trained examiners correctly reported 100% of the identifications (known matches) while reporting no false positives. The VM tools also allowed examiners to annotate compared surfaces. These annotations provide insight into the types of marked utilized in comparative analysis. Overall, the results of the study demonstrate that trained examiners can successfully use virtual microscopy to conduct firearms toolmark examination and support the use of the technology in the crime laboratory.     

针灸治疗糖尿病胃轻瘫随机对照试验文献质量评价

［摘要］目的 对针灸治疗糖尿病胃轻瘫随机对照试验文献质量进行分析，为进一步的临床试验研究提供参考。方法 检索近30年针灸治疗糖尿病胃轻瘫临床研究文献，采用循证医学的原则及评价方法，制定临床文献评价及信息采集表，对纳入文献进行分析和评价。结果 检索到符合纳入标准的临床对照试验文献21篇，在样本量估算、疾病诊断标准及疗效判定标准、盲法和分配隐藏、随机化实施、随访及病例脱失剔除情况、结局指标选择、安全性观察、结论推导等方面存在一些问题。结论 针灸治疗糖尿病胃轻瘫的临床研究文献存在样本量较少、研究方法实施不严谨、结局指标选取不统一的缺点，尚不能得出针灸优于其他疗法的确切结论，故有必要进一步做多中心、大样本及高质量的临床试验研究。
