Delayed fatal impact cardiopathy

The lesions of impact cardiopathy ("cardiac contusion") which fail to heal satisfactorily, leading to delayed heart failure and death, are infrequently recognized, in part because of a general lack of appreciation of the lingering significance of lesser degrees of trauma. The case of a 31-year-old male dying 4 weeks after a vehicular collision provides strong confirmation of the expectable intermediate aspects of this spectrum of post traumatic lesions.     

论第三部门经济法主体地位的理论机理

经济法是为克服市场失灵和政府失灵的法,社会性是经济法律关系的本质特征,第三部门作为公共权力和私人利益的补充和制衡,构成了一种介于国家调节机制和市场调节机制之间的新的沟通和协调机制,符合经济法“社会本位”宗旨的内涵,体现经济法的价值取向,它和市场、政府一起组成经济生活运行的有机体,享有公共经济利益、承担公共经济义务,具有经济法主体资格。     

规模化猪场生产母猪心力衰竭的病理学观察

为探究生产母猪心力衰竭(heart failure)的病理变化和组织学特征,对广西某规模化猪场45头死亡生产母猪进行了临床症状观察、大体解剖和组织病理学检查。结果,其中18头病猪临床症状表现为易疲劳,精神沉郁,呼吸困难,夜间咳嗽和突然死亡;剖检可见心包严重黏连或心室扩张、心包积液、心肌出血、心脏横径与纵径之比增大,以及肝、脾、肺、肾的淤血肿胀;组织病理学变化表现为心肌肿胀变性或萎缩坏死,纤维素性肺炎、间质性肺炎、化脓性肺炎和支气管肺炎,以及多个器官的淤血。结果表明,心力衰竭为母猪突然死亡的重要原因,其主要病理学特征为心室扩张或心包粘连,心肌肿胀坏死、心肌纤维化并伴随多器官淤血病变。     

Teaching Students How to Fail: Simulations as Tools of Explanation

Instead of always teaching students how to succeed—as is the norm in higher education—it might also be useful to teach them about failure. Understanding failure (that is, why actors fail to reach common objectives in inter-group settings) gives students deeper insight into how to resolve global problems, and the conditions under which success can be achieved. This enhances student awareness of complexity in world affairs, including the nature of inter-group relations. Simulations are a good way to teach students about the possibility of failure, and how to learn from it, because they allow students to go through the learning process on their own. In this article I discuss how a simulation I ran on Middle Eastern politics can be used as an example of how to instruct students about failure as much as about success.

Exploring the Determinants of Collaboration Failure

ABSTRACT

Many of the case studies on collaboration tout the success of collaborative efforts, and theory building efforts focus almost exclusively on conditions for successful collaboration. Notably missing from the literature are efforts to comprehend why collaborations fail. Given that participants in a collaboration are invested in the collaborative effort, why does a collaboration fail? In addition, does the membership of the collaborative effort impact the factors for success or failure? By examining extant literature on both collaboration success and collaboration failure, we seek to identify a set of factors common across the literature that are foundational to a framework of collaboration failure.     

普通正三轮摩托车转向前叉断裂原因分析

通过对一辆导致了事故的普通正三轮摩托车转向前叉左侧减震器筒与其底座焊接部位的断裂原因进行分析。经过对断口宏观形貌、微观形貌的观察,以及对断裂部位材质、金相组织的检验分析,判断转向前叉的断裂为沿焊接结合面发生的沿晶韧窝断裂,是因焊接工艺不合理引起的。     

European Union anti-piracy initiatives in the Horn of Africa: linking land-based counter-piracy with maritime security and regional development

Piracy off the coast of Somalia has resulted in a steady decline in trade through the Arabian Sea and higher costs of doing business for multiple world regions. The EU has responded to the threat with a large-scale anti-piracy operation in the Horn of Africa, which constitutes the first free-standing Common Security and Defence Policy (CSDP) military operation that is not entirely dependent on North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) planning and assets. The operation is designed to interdict Somali piracy operations across the Gulf of Aden and to keep some of the world’s busiest sea lanes open for reasons of world trade. This article argues that the EU preoccupation with military solutions to the piracy problem, based on interventions through the Somali federal government with an emphasis on security, is insufficient because it fails to address the underlying causes of piracy and misunderstands the Somali socio-cultural-security nexus and the need for practical longer term land-based approaches to development. The reduction of Somali piracy activities can be linked to this increased military response capacity as well as to increased security precautions undertaken by shipping companies, but none of these strategies has succeeded in dismantling piracy networks. They therefore offer only a temporary and costly stopgap measure.     

The Airports Commission,the Dilemmas of Political Leadership and the Third Runway at Heathrow Airport

This article assesses the character, role and outcomes of the Airports Commission. Analysing its workings from September 2012, it evaluates the final recommendations and then charts their subsequent public reception. The article claims that the Airports Commission's endeavours to depoliticise aviation by using ‘reasonable’ methods and impartial judgements—often embodied in Howard Davies himself—have been met with local resistance and political opposition, focussed on the proposal to expand either Heathrow or Gatwick. It exposes how the recourse to expert commissions offers only temporary respite for government responsibility and accountability in the making of hard decisions. It concludes that the inability to secure a binding and acceptable agreement does not just reside at the door of the Airports Commission, but rests also on the failures of political leadership and the ‘missed opportunity’ to articulate a sustainable vision for aviation after the 2010 moratorium on airport expansion in the south‐east of England.
