Actus Reus and Mens Rea

Abstract: It has already been discussed in Chap. 1 how closely the moral element is interwoven with that of legal crime, not only in the criminal law of early periods but also in that of the present day. Thus, to constitute a crime and subject the offender to a liability to punishment, i.e., to produce legal criminal “guilt” (or “imputability”), a mental as well as a physical element is necessary. Like the continental criminal law, the Thai law requires both an actus reus (in Thai gaan gra-tam nai sing tee pit got maai) and a mens rea (in Thai jit jai tee chua raai). Actus reus means guilty act and refers to the objective element or the external element of a crime. Mens rea, or guilty mind, refers the culpable state of mind of the individual committing the prohibited criminal act. Accordingly, every crime involves a particular physical condition and particular mental condition causing this physical condition.

The Law of Obligations

Abstract: The term ‘obligation’ comes from the Latin obligare, the root of which (ligare) means ‘to bind’. It denotes a relation between two persons which entitles one of them to claim from the other some act or omission recognized as capable of producing a legal effect. Any giving, doing, or forbearing may be the subject of an obligation, provided only that it be something possible and not contrary to law.

Nonfatal Offenses Against the Person

Abstract: In Thailand crimes of this class are minutely particularized and distinguished according to the varying circumstances, degree, and character of the injury inflicted, and appropriate penalties assigned to each. In other civil law countries which have adopted penal codes, the same method of special subclassification resulting in a multiplicity of substantive crimes can be noticed to a greater or lower degree. Nonfatal offenses against the person are of two sharply distinguished types, the sexual and the nonsexual: the one springing from lust, the other from anger. The first five sections of this chapter will attempt to define those crimes that are unconnected with sexual relations. These call for a detailed consideration. They fall readily into two groups depending on whether the crime does or does not leave behind it, upon the sufferer’s body, some actual hurt. The former alternative, as the graver, must first be considered. Section 6 will deal with those offenses relating to sexuality.

Beyond Zudilin's conjectured q-analogue of Schmidt's problem

Abstract: Using the methodology of (rigorous) experimental mathematics, we give a simple and motivated solution to Zudilin's question concerning a q-analogue of a problem posed by Asmus Schmidt about a certain binomial coefficients sum. Our method is based on two simple identities that can be automatically proved using the Zeilberger and q-Zeilberger algorithms. We further illustrate our method by proving two further binomial coefficient sums.
