Identification of a Buried Cadaver Based on Finger Ridge Characteristics of a Hand Protected by a Latex Glove

This paper presents the case of a cadaver buried in a pine grove, in loamy soil at a depth of about 1.8 m. The case is quite interesting due to the fact that one hand of the victim was bare and the other one was clad in a latex glove. In the laboratory, the severed hands were gently washed with water. The left palm exhibited signs of advanced decomposition. The ridges were visible only on the thumb. The gloved hand was found to be in much better condition. There were signs of saponification on the palm. Ridges on both the palm and all fingers were visible. The fingers of the right hand, palm prints, and the thumb of the left hand were successfully matched against a ten-print card. The match provided the police with a positive identification of the missing person.

论“开头”——自然,文章最基本的美学要求

文章的写作已经成为今天知识分子的一种徽章,它能将个人的才华性格体现其间。但是,在商品经济的浸弥之下,文章本身的这种精神取向和价值取向被严重地模糊了,一种公式化、模式化的运作,以及矫情而又夸饰的文风四处弥散,甚至影响了当今知识分子的精神取向和高校的文科教育,其负面效应直接影响人着人们的道德、审美和行为方式及社会价值感受。本文以作文的开头为话题,重新提出文章写作应遵循的最基本的美学要求……自然,以此倡导一种健康的作文之风,从而试图树立起一种高雅的作文及文化的审美观念。

Legal context: This article focuses on the relationship between trade markrights and other forms of statutory protection.

"解除条件"与"解除合同的条件"关系辨析--兼析《中华人民共和国合同法》第45条与第93条的区别

<中华人民共和国合同法>第45条中的"解除条件"和第93条中的"解除合同的条件",它们的含义、范围、作用及其法律后果不同,极易造成混淆."解除条件"是合同效力的附款,它本身不能成为当事人的合同义务,其成就合同效力自动终止."解除合同的条件",可以是当事人的合同义务,也可以不是,其成就仅导致解除权成立,合同终止另需当事人行使该解除权.     

利用影响力受贿罪若干问题解读

《刑法》第388条之一是关于利用影响力受贿罪的规定,该法条来源于《刑法修正案(七)》第13条之增设性规定,旨在从严预防和惩治贿赂犯罪。尤其是针对以往不具有国家工作人员身份的人(主要是国家工作人员的"身边人"以及离职的国家工作人员和他们的"身边人"等)索取或收受贿赂后因惩处缺位而借以逃脱法律制裁的状况,立法上作出了相应的改进。然而,在增设了利用影响力受贿罪这一罪名后,必须考虑其与原有的贿赂犯罪罪刑体系如何衔接与协调,特别是有必要对该罪的罪名确定、主体范围、行为特征以及司法适用等问题进行深刻地解读。     

论《物权法》第28条中“法律文书”的涵义与类型

我国《物权法》第28条因"法律文书"引起的物权变动,是司法裁判权、仲裁裁决权、强制执行权行使的结果,属于因公权力的行使发生的物权变动,故物权变动是否因公权力的行使而发生是确定该条款中"法律文书"涵义和类型的基础。由确认之诉、给付之诉及形成之诉各自功能所决定,直接引起物权变动的法律文书仅限于形成性法律文书,不包括确认性和给付性法律文书。形成性法律文书主要是指形成判决,即因形成诉权的行使作出的判决,而确认单纯形成权行使效力的判决不是形成判决。强制执行程序中拍卖成交确认裁定和强制抵债裁定也属于形成性法律文书。民事调解书不属于形成性法律文书的范畴,不能直接引起物权变动。     

香港特区基本法第23条的法理分析

香港基本法第23条未使用“授权”的语词,但属于授权条款,特别授权香港特区自行制定维护国家安全的法律,香港特区第23条立法属于特别授权立法,中央监督特区立法的过程及其实施,香港特区第23条立法应以维护国家安全为核心原则,明晰特区居民的权利界限,香港特区行政长官对第23条立法负责,应主导第23条立法。
