An apple a day does not always keep the doctor away...

The authors describe a case of suicide in the workplace. A 45-year-old man employed by a fruit and vegetable packing company was found dead in a room containing a modified atmosphere for the packaging of fruits and vegetables. The rescue team measured the carbon monoxide (CO) concentration of the ambient air with a digital CO tester and found a level higher than 600 particles per million. Analysis of an arterial blood sample taken with an airtight syringe revealed the absence of CO but high levels of carbon dioxide (CO(2)). Autopsy revealed no significant injury and police investigators found a handwritten note of intent, describing a recent personal crisis. The authors concluded that the cause of death was suicide by asphyxiation secondary to CO(2) intoxication and notably oxygen (O(2)) depletion. This manner of suicide is rare and most cases previously described in the literature were accidental intoxications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of suicide by CO(2) intoxication and O(2) depletion in a room with a modified atmosphere.     

大学学杂费水平对农村家庭消费的挤占效应——基于中国农村家庭数据的分析

随着高等教育收费制度的建立,大学学杂费收费水平不断提高。对于农村家庭而言,学杂费负担对家庭其他消费的负面影响越来越凸现。利用中国农村家庭高等教育学杂费支出和农户年人均储蓄额等指标,运用协整检验和误差修正模型,可以间接分析高额大学学杂费支出对农村家庭其他消费的影响效应。实证分析表明,无论是从长期还是从短期来看,农村家庭高等教育学杂费支出对家庭其他消费都存在挤占效应,只是长期挤占效应要明显强于短期。     

论死者的占有——对“占有”概念的重新解读

死者的占有是一个争议很大的刑法问题。无论是死者占有说、死者生前占有说,还是死者生前占有延续说都有疑问。问题产生的关键是,传统刑法对占有的界定过分强调其＂事实上的支配＂这一要素,但在现实当中,一般的社会观念对于占有的认定更为重要。因此,认定刑法上的占有,关键在于明确占有主体对占有客体的＂排他性支配＂,在此基础上,继承人占有说是更为妥当的主张。     

多元治理视野下的多规合一——以浙江省试点县（市）为例

文章运用一元为主、多元辅补的多元治理理论分析方法,对浙江省试点县（市）“多规合一”的协调机制、编制主体、审批机制和空间管控进行了系统分析,总结提炼出“多规合一”四方面的成效,为今后其他地区“多规合一”编制工作提供经验借鉴。研究发现：一是试点地区“多规合一”的成效明显;二是本文将多中心治理理论中国化为“一元为主、多元辅补”的多元治理的理论,并用以分析“多规合一”的现状、成果、缺憾及完善路径是有效的。因此,文章研究结论为现行“多规合一”还需要从政策法律体系、编制机构和公众参与等方面完善。
