Kinematics of Signature Writing in Healthy Aging

Forensic document examiners (FDE) called upon to distinguish a genuine from a forged signature of an elderly person are often required to consider the question of age‐related deterioration and whether the available exemplars reliably capture the natural effects of aging of the original writer. An understanding of the statistical relationship between advanced age and handwriting movements can reduce the uncertainty that may exist in an examiner's approach to questioned signatures formed by elderly writers. The primary purpose of this study was to systematically examine age‐related changes in signature kinematics in healthy writers. Forty‐two healthy subjects between the ages of 60–91 years participated in this study. Signatures were recorded using a digitizing tablet, and commercial software was used to examine the temporal and spatial stroke kinematics and pen pressure. Results indicated that vertical stroke duration and dysfluency increased with age, whereas vertical stroke amplitude and velocity decreased with age. Pen pressure decreased with age. We found that a linear model characterized the best‐fit relationship between advanced age and handwriting movement parameters for signature formation. Male writers exhibited stronger age effects than female writers, especially for pen pressure and stroke dysfluency. The present study contributes to an understanding of how advanced age alters signature formation in otherwise healthy adults.     

A model for using time out as an intervention technique with families

Using time out to interrupt escalating conflict is an important first step in treating couples and families where physical and emotional abuse is present. Since a time out failure can jeopardize further treatment, developing effective methods for using time out is a therapeutic priority. By interpreting the family's failed attempts as skill deficits, their efforts can be reframed to facilitate their acceptance of new time out methods. These methods are integrated into a model which outlines six hierarchical levels of supplemental control needed to inhibit destructive behavior. The model provides guidelines and establishes incentives for developing a time out strategy appropriate to the family's current level of control. It is designed to guide therapists in helping families strengthen their skills and choose an alternative time out strategy when an initial method fails.     

关于证人翻证问题的思考

证人翻证的种类和原因颇为复杂。证人翻证后与当庭陈述相矛盾的庭前陈述在一定条件下可分别作为独立证据和弹劾证据使用;非法的庭前陈述既不能作为独立证据也不能作为弹劾证据使用。对证人伪证罪刑事责任的追究必须遵循特别的程序规定。     

知识产权的法律冲突与法律适用探微

知识产权国际保护体系的确立,使知识产权取得了在“国民待遇”和“权利独立”原则之下的间接的域外效力,从而产生了法律冲突和法律适用问题。知识产权的法律适用包括冲突法的适用和统一实体法的适用两个方面,两者互为补充,相得益彰,舍其一则不能使知识产权的国际协调充分到位。     

中国低龄女性老年人力资源开发问题探讨

低龄老年人力资源开发是缓解中国老龄化问题的战略性手段,女性相较于男性而言,寿命更长且生理心理上都具有其特定的优势,但中国低龄女性老年人力资源开发长期以来被忽视,因此,促进低龄女性就业前景光明。根据中国低龄女性老年人力资源开发现状,结合外国实践经验,中国应从改变传统观念、完善机制政策、提供低龄女性老年培训和适当延长女性退休年龄等方面进行改进,以此促进低龄女性老年人力资源开发。     

中国式养老：城市社区居家养老研究

文章探讨了托老服务“叫好不叫座”现象背后的原因,总结了“虚拟养老院”成功的经验、特点和优势,分析了专业养老社区的成败、利弊以及社区服务的类别、作用和方向。文章认为养老的服务职能社会化、服务地点社区化、服务机制市场化和服务联结网络化是打破我国养老困局的基本路向。社区养老的市场化和产业化主体属于社会企业,其发展不能离开“养老事业高于养老产业”“养老福祉高于养老利润”和“养老的社会效益高于养老的经济效益”三个前提。未富先老、未备先老的中国要探索有本土特色的“低成本-高品质-广福祉”的依托社区、整合资源的现代化养老方式,即通过社区养老、助老服务实现多数老年人的“在地老化”之梦--安养、乐活和善终。     

数字化背景下老年友好社区构建策略——基于杭州市K街道N社区的调查

近年来,我国数字城市、5G运用、未来社区建设的推进,改变了老年人的社区养老环境,老年友好社区作为我国社区研究中的一个重要组成部分,亟待对其在数字城市背景下的构建内容、实践与评估、发展趋势开展深入探究。本研究通过对杭州市K街道N社区数字化背景下的老年友好社区构建的满意度调查,分析了数字化背景下的老年友好社区构建与老年人日常生活的关系、与原居养老的关系、与代际互动的关系以及融入的意愿度,认为这是老年友好社区的构建内容从单一的物质环境向多维度转变、构建主体由政府单一型向老年人参与及多主体合作型转变,探索形成良好代际互动的全龄社区的内在机制。     

扫黑除恶专项斗争治安价值论

扫黑除恶专项斗争治安价值对于深化治安治理规律性认识,提高治安治理绩效具有重要的研究意义。它包含四个价值维度,分别为治理属性上的传承之维,功能发挥上的协同之维,秩序建构上的法治之维以及信息共享下的传播之维。四个价值维度在社会治安秩序形成中发挥各自作用并存在内在逻辑联系。     

Using the acetabulum to estimate age at death of adult males

The acetabular region is often present and adequately preserved in adult human skeletal remains. Close morphological examination of the 242 left male os coxae from the identified collection of Coimbra (Portugal) has enabled the recognition of seven variables that can be used to estimate age at death. This paper describes these variables and argues their appropriateness by analyzing the correlation between these criteria and the age, the intra- and interobserver consistence, and the accuracy in age prediction using Bayesian inference to estimate age of identified specimens. Results show significant close correlation between the acetabular criteria and age, nonsignificant differences in intra- and interobserver test, and 89% accuracy in Bayes prediction. Obtained estimated age of the specimens had similar accuracy in all ages. These results indicate that these seven variables, based on the acetabular area, are potentially useful to estimate age at death for adult specimens.     

树立全球化意识 提高驾驭对外开放的能力——学习胡锦涛在中共中央政治局第二十二次集体学习时的讲话

对外开放的能力是驾驭市场经济能力的重要组成部分,也是党的执政能力的重要内容.在全球化的浪潮中的中国社会主义发展有必要和有可能坚持和平发展这个主流,转变对外贸易增长方式要转变经济增长方式结合起来,"走出去"战略是较高的发展战略,必须实施品牌战略.深化涉外经济体制改革不仅是涉外部门发展的需要,而且是关乎国家经济安全的大事.我们要把国家经济安全作为深化涉外经济体制改革的重要内容.要使涉外经济体制成为抵御外患的屏障,缓解内忧的机制.
