Lethal small bowel obstruction due to pica

Up to 25% of institutionalized patients with cognitive deficiencies display pica-like behavior, with an estimated annual incidence of small bowel obstruction of 2%. We present a case based on the forensic autopsy of a 41-year-old woman who died as a result of a missed diagnosis of small bowel obstruction after ingesting a foreign body. The case underlines the importance of precaution when treating patients with cognitive deficiency and/or language deficits and gastrointestinal symptoms. In such cases, it is important to employ a liberal threshold for radiological investigations and, if possible, obtain a medical history from a person close to the patient.     

Forensic Application of Analytical Mechanics in Fatal Fall From a Height

Fatal fall from a height initiated with a swinging motion on the sagittal plane of the victim's body is examined. Method of analytical mechanics is adopted to establish the functional relations between the swinging angle of the body and the force needed to sustain the body until release, and the amount of the horizontal displacement that would occur after release. The analysis is applied to support an expert opinion presented in a criminal court in which two accused were convicted of murder for dropping a female victim from a bridge. The results indicate that it is unlikely for the body to locate as recorded by the police investigation report in the case. This study demonstrates that a straightforward mechanical analysis can be utilized to examine uncommon falling scenarios.

精神世界结构探析

建设和丰富人们的精神世界是一项具有深远战略意义的任务和目标。精神世界是人所特有的一个极其复杂的世界,当然是由物质世界决定的,但作为一个相对独立的世界,有其特殊的规律和建设方式。对此,要加强研究和认识,分析精神世界结构,掌握其形成、发展变化的规律和特点。本文把人们的精神世界相对区分为三个层面,并对这三个层面的相互关系作了初步分析和探讨,指出了问题所在及寻找解决问题的思路和途径。     

世界五大文化圈的互动

把世界文化简单地分为东、西两大板块的观念应当改变 ,东、西文化并非从来就是两股道上跑的车。世界文化之源在东方 ,地中海是历史文化的漩涡 ,在此基础上 ,逐渐形成了五大文化圈 ,即佛教文化圈、汉字文化圈、基督教文化圈、伊斯兰教文化圈和游牧文化圈。五大文化圈处于互动关系 ,相互接触、碰撞、渗透、交叉 ,甚至挤压、重叠     

略论公共选择理论对我国政府改革的启示

公共选择理论所倡导的经济人假定、弱政府模式以及公共物品的混合供给制对政府改革具有很强的启发意义.就我国而言,公务员单纯的道德人定位应当让位于经济人定位;强政府模式应当让位于弱政府模式;以政府为中心的公共物品的供给制应当让位于多元混合供给制.     

Managing commercial risks in open source software licensing

Legal context: The article reviews the commercial risk allocation clauses intypical open source licence terms and discusses their enforceabilityand implications. Key points: The enforceability of warranty disclaimers and limitation ofliability clauses in common open source licence terms is questionable,particularly in a cross-border context, and commercial licensorsshould take additional steps to protect themselves from down-streamrisks. Practical significance: Open source software presents a number of unusual commercialissues, because it is available free of charge and the providerstry to disclaim warranties and liabilities. End users and resellershave to adjust their own in- and out-licensing models to accommodatethis situation.     

建立统一公法学的时代意义——兼答“统一公法学”可能遭遇的质疑

建立统一公法学,既契合了特定的时代背景,更将产生重大的时代意义。建立统一公法学的时代背景:一是权力分立的铁律被突破,权力交叉的趋势在加强;二是国家社会一体化解体,社会公权力快速成长;三是学科的细化在加剧,学科的综合在并进。建立统一公法学的时代意义:一是有利于提炼规范国家公权力的基本规律,完善对公权力的整体调整;二是有利于研究公法面临的新问题,克服传统公法学研究的盲点;三是有利于加强公法基础理论研究,完善公法学科体系。建立统一公法学,并非否定权力分立的宪政原则,并非为了部门公法学的自身利益,并不违背学科发展的基本趋势。     

泰国：20世纪二三十年代海外潮剧的中心
