An Exploration of Sample Representativeness in Anthropometric Facial Comparison*

Abstract: Faces are assumed to be unique, but their use in court has remained problematic as no method of comparison with known error rates has been accepted by the scientific community. Rather than relying on the assumed uniqueness of facial features, previous research has been directed at estimations of face shape frequency. Here, the influence of age, sex, and ancestry on variation was investigated. Statistical shape analysis was used to examine the necessity for sub‐divisions in forensic comparisons, using a large sample of facial images on which 30 anthropometric landmark points had been placed in 3D. Results showed a clear pattern of separation of the sexes in all age groups, and in different age groups in men. It was concluded that sub‐division of databases by sex will be necessary in forensic comparisons. Sub‐division by age may be necessary in men (although not necessarily in women), and may be necessary by ancestry.     

The Automation of Regression Modeling in Osteometric Sorting: An Ordination Approach

This study compares the original osteometric sorting association method with an ordination approach across all combinations of the humerus, ulna, radius, femur, tibia, and fibula. This includes both the original prediction interval and t‐statistic approaches. Standard measurements are utilized in the models with full measurements combined and without length measurements. The sample is the osteometric sorting reference from the Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency. A full set of performance statistics is provided. Results indicate the ordination approach outperforms the original in the majority of bone combinations. Models with length measurements have more exclusion power than those without. It is recommended for the ordination approach to supersede the original when applied to large commingled assemblages.     

Alcohol and Drug Use in Young Apprentices: Effect of Social Control in the Family

In this research, social control used by the families of young apprentices related to certain deviant behaviors such as alcohol and drug use was examined. Finally it was found that most of the young people who use drugs and alcohol were battered frequently. The relationship between deviant acts of young people and social control used by their families was analyzed through theories concerning the socioeconomic status of family and the relations between family members.     

科学发展观:廉政文化建设的核心部件与重要推手

科学发展观,作为党的十六大以来马克思主义中国化的最新理论成果,既是理论创新的产物,也是指导当前工作的重要方法,还是当代中国廉政文化的重要构成与核心部件。以科学发展观为指导,就是要"以人为本",科学剖析廉政文化建设的重点对象与特别群体的特征;统筹兼顾,协调发展廉政文化建设的各个方面;牢记宗旨,在廉政文化建设中树立正确的政绩观;精心谋划,科学设计好廉政建设的各项制度。

变革型领导、员工责任感与越轨创新行为

本文基于社会学习理论,探讨变革型领导诱发员工越轨创新行为的作用机制,以及建设性变革责任感在这一关系中的中介作用机制,并依据自我决定理论分析心理安全感在建设性变革责任感与员工越轨创新行为之间的调节作用。利用来自全国多个地区的288份样本进行实证分析,研究结果表明:变革型领导对员工越轨创新行为具有显著的正向影响,建设性变革责任感在这一关系中发挥了部分中介作用,而心理安全感正向调节建设性变革责任感与员工越轨创新行为的关系。     

Sexual Behavioral Disinhibition Associated with Nucleus Lentiformis Lesion: A Forensic Neuroscience Perspective Through a Case

Organic brain disturbances particularly related to frontal cortex structures and subcortical areas including the basal ganglia may play a role in behavioral disinhibition disorders. Kluver–Bucy syndrome (KBS), which is one of the better knowns of these syndromes, includes hyperorality, visual agnosia, and hypersexuality, has been reported to occur after temporal lobe and amygdala lesions; however, several patients who had focal lesions in areas other than the temporal cortex and amygdala have been reported to present partial KBS symptoms. Nucleus lentiformis refers to a large portion of the basal ganglia including the putamen and globus pallidus, and specific structures within this broad area are known to be important for reward and value-based decision making. To date, KBS symptoms including hypersexual behavior associated with nucleus lentiformis lesions have never been reported. Here, we present a 38-year-old male patient who developed increased sexual interest and hyperorality after infarctions in the right lenticular nucleus and right occipitotemporal region and committed a first-degree sexual assault. He was sent to our institution for the assessment of criminal responsibility to the index sexual crime. According to a comprehensive and thorough forensic psychiatric evaluation, he was diagnosed as having an organic personality disorder with partial KBS symptoms. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of deviant sexual behavior and hyperorality developing after nucleus lentiformis infarction. We aimed to discuss possible neurobiologic explanations of late-onset deviant sexual behavior, which resulted in sexual criminal behavior following a cerebrovascular infarction.     

短暂的联合：越南民族主义力量联合战线研究

20世纪初，越南卷入了东南亚民族独立运动的浪潮。在各种政治势力中，平川派、高台教与和好教作为3股民族主义武装力量在反对法国殖民主义的斗争中扮演了重要角色。这3股势力产生于法国殖民统治时期，是民族矛盾日益尖锐的产物。历经反法斗争、武装割据的发展阶段，这3股势力走上了共同反对吴庭艳政权的道路，组建了民族主义力量联合战线。然而，这一战线仅仅存在了两个月就走向破裂和消亡，究其原因，是缘于3股势力在各自产生、发展过程中所形成的不同特点，也是法国与美国在越南实力消长的必然结果。
