关于篮球裁判员心理素质培养的浅析

由于现代篮球比赛复杂多变,紧张激烈,许多违反规则动作隐蔽性强.如果没有良好的裁判技能和判断能力,常常会出现误判、漏判、错判或偏判及裁判员移动不到位、手势不规范等现象,影响比赛的顺利进行.甚至形成裁判表演的局面.篮球裁判员要高质量地完成裁判任务,不仅要具备良好的体能和裁判技能,还应具有敏捷,迅速、准确的心理判断能力.……     

三次交通封锁与第一次柏林危机

第二次世界大战结束后,美、英、法、苏等盟国分割德国虽然是出于对付法西斯的需要,却在占领国美、英、法与苏联之间制造了新的矛盾.20世纪40年代末期,随着冷战的到来,美、英、法等国为加强中欧的地位,策划其在西德和西柏林的"联合占领区",并着手利用马歇尔计划复兴德国,宣布单方面实行币制改革.     

谈二十一世纪应如何做教师

现在有许多老教师都有这样的感叹:教书数十年了,可越教越不会教了!这看来惶惑心理的流露.其实是"实话实说".一直以来都沿用一种模式"老师讲,学生听",教师就是从事教学的"教书匠".这种教学模式取消了学生的主人翁地位,学生只是被动地装老师灌入的大多不理解的东西.社会在发展,社会需求也必然在不断地变化,教育应该随着社会对人才的需求去改变教学方法,培养社会需要的人才,才能适应社会的需要,促进社会的发展.     

由“石碑流泪”谈中学化学中的创新教育

近期看了中央台<探索*发现>"孔子石碑为何会流泪?"一篇记实报道,感触颇深.对于这一奇物的自然现象该怎样解释呢? 一说:是"铁石心肠"人性化了,是为孔圣人流的泪,以表达人们尊师重教的心情. 一说:是树木多,湿度大,露水落到石碑上形成的.     

从皖南事变看中共在军事突发事件中宣传报道的历史经验

1941年1月,皖南事变发生以后不久,蒋介石发布了<通电>和<训令>,编造谎言,污蔑新四军"扰乱战局,破坏抗日阵线,阴谋不轨",(中国人民大学党史资料室:<中共党史教学参考资料>,605页,中国人民大学出版社,1979)随即宣布解散新四军,撤销新四军番号,将军长叶挺送交军法审判.     

论武器装备的劣势对志愿军作战的影响

在革命战争年代,中国共产党领导的人民军队以劣势装备先后打败了装备精良的日本军队和国民党军队,建立了新中国.但抗美援朝战争爆发后,中国人民志愿军在面对美国军队时发现:以往很多行之有效的经验不灵了.究其原因,主要是美军对志愿军在武器装备方面占有绝对优势,这种优势是日军对八路军、新四军的优势和国民党军对人民解放军的优势远远不能比拟的.这一特点深刻影响了志愿军的作战行动,改变了人民军队在以往战争中形成的很多作战原则,也深刻影响了抗美援朝战争的结局.     

信息技术教育教学模式和方法的探讨

信息化是当今世界经济和社会发展的必然趋势,以网络技术和多媒体技术为核心的信息技术己成为拓展人类能力的创造性工具.在二十一世纪这个信息化的社会,人们的生活越来越离不开数字化、信息化,信息决定着我们的生存,这己成为不争的事实.信息技术在教育领域的运用也必将导致教育领域彻底变革,随之而来的教学内容、手段、方法、模式甚至教学思想、观念、理论,乃至体制也将进行相应的变革.     

将军"斗胆直陈"与中央民主决策

实事求是是党的马克思主义思想路线的核心.这四个字说起来容易,做到却很难.它既受思想水平、认识能力的限制,同时又检验着一个人(特别是领导干部)的党性原则,所思所想所作所为是否真正出于公心.对中国革命作出了重大贡献的无产阶级革命家、军事家粟裕大将,堪称坚持实事求是的楷模.

An Unlikely Alliance: Portuguese and South African Airpower in Angola, 1968–1974

The war that Portugal was obliged to fight in Africa began in 1961 and immediately stretched the resources of its armed forces. Nowhere was this thinness more apparent than in policing the vast territory of Angola. The east and southeast of Angola were particularly vulnerable, as the area was a vast, sparsely populated region characterised by enormous featureless plains or chanas covered in tall grass and broken by an extensive river system and mountainous forests. The only military solution to policing these immense spaces was aviation and specifically the helicopter that could carry troops into battle, protect them with a gunship and bring them home when the operation was concluded. The immediate problem for the Portuguese Air Force (Força Aérea Portuguesa or FAP) in Angola and elsewhere was a scarcity of helicopters. The solution was an alliance with South Africa, which had a strong inventory of Alouette IIIs, to help in policing the east. This move was likewise in the interest of South Africa, as its threat came from Zambia through south-eastern Angola. This article examines the strategic and tactical development of this unusual, cross-cultural alliance and the symbiotic relationship that resulted in destruction of the enemies of both in Angola.

A Sign of Victory?: ‘Scottish Swords’ and Other Weapons in the Possession of the ‘Auld Innemie’

Many late medieval documents, notably inventories of arms and armour, of Englishmen contain references to ‘Scottish swords’ and other weapons. What did the compilers of these documents mean when they described a weapon as ‘Scottish’? How did such weapons come to be in the possession of these men? This article will attempt to explain this phenomenon drawing on primary documentary sources and surviving material culture from Glasgow Museums’ collections and others, as well as artworks from the period.     

Helping hands: civil–military cooperation and Italy's military operation abroad

In the Post-Bipolar Era the growing complexity of the military operations requires a new approach for the resolution of international crises. Since the end of the Cold War, peace support operations (PSO) have become the mainstay and principal occupation of most Western armies. At the same time, Italy has been one of the most important actors in such an area. The article focuses on the cooperation between military and civil components (a process called CIMIC) as a key variable in the Italian PSOs. We will analyse in detail the main lessons learned from past military interventions as well as the general context in which new tendencies are taking place. The maintaining of a minimum security frame becomes essential to fulfil activities ‘collateral’ to the mission: reconstructing services and infrastructure, food distribution, water and medication, law and order, de-mining, training of local forces, and supporting local institutions. These are the main tasks to obtain thrust and support from the population.     

Terrorism,insurgency, kidnapping,and security in Africa's energy sector

Energy continues to serve as the bedrock of modern economies and the main driver of modern society. For Africa, the production and supply of energy resources such as crude oil, natural gas, uranium, coal, biomass, biofuels and other renewables are an important source of employment, rents, taxes, royalties and profits. This sector brings in several tens of billions of dollars of revenue annually. The production and delivery of such resources, however, depend on critical infrastructures such as pipelines, refineries, processing plants, terminals, rigs, electrical energy pylons, substations, pump stations, vessels, and tankers. These infrastructures have been attacked by terrorists, insurgents, vandals and saboteurs, all of whom see them as targets against which to register their grievances and extract concessions from the state. This paper is a chronological account of some of the documented incidents of terrorism, insurgency, kidnapping, destruction, sabotage, and human casualties suffered in the oil and gas sectors in Africa between 1999 and 2012. It is based on data extracted from the databases of the RAND Database of World Terrorism Incidents and the University of Maryland's Global Terrorism Database (GTD).     

Cyberpower in Strategic Affairs: Neither Unthinkable nor Blessed

Abstract

This article explores the effect of connectivity on strategic affairs. It argues that the effect on war's character is potentially, although not yet shown in practice, considerably large. Its effect upon the distribution of power among states in the international system is small, contrary to the claims of ‘cyberwar’ alarmists. All told, however, its effect upon strategic affairs is complex. On the one hand, it represents a significant advance in the ‘complexification’ of state strategies, understood in the sense of the production of intended effects. On the other hand, strategists today – still predominantly concerned with the conflicts and confrontations of states and organised military power – are generally missing the power which non-traditional strategic actors, better adapted to the network flows of the information age, are beginning to deploy. These new forms of organization and coercion will challenge the status quo.     

Tacit support for terrorism: The rapprochement between the USSR and Palestinian guerrilla organizations following the 1967 war

This article demonstrates the inconsistent and wavering Soviet attitude towards national liberation movements in general and the Palestinian organizations in particular. Until the late 1960s, the Soviets viewed these organizations with suspicion, hesitating to engage in political dialogue with them. However, in the 1970s, political and military events in the region, as well as modifications in the Kremlin's Cold War strategies, led to a general shift towards the Middle East in Soviet foreign policy. Soviet leaders showed increased willingness to provide certain Palestinian organizations with arms with which to conduct terrorist activities against Israeli, pro-Israeli, Jewish and Western targets. The article explores the complex relations between Palestinian organizations and the USSR in the field of international terror. The study also exposes and analyzes the nature and content of Soviet–Palestinian arms dialogues and transactions. It provides clear evidence that Soviet policymakers and other luminaries were fully informed of, and sometimes directly involved in, these transactions and dialogues at the highest levels.     

A1 Qaeda and the radical Islamic challenge to western strategy

The September 11 global crisis prompted by the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon raises major questions concerning the nature and trajectory of terrorism in the post-Cold War global order. Hitherto, terrorism has been largely debated by analysts at the level of nation states. Terrorist and insurgent movements have also been largely anchored in nationalist and ethnic power bases even when they have sought to mobilise a transnational ideological appeal on religious or class grounds. There have been a few exceptions to this pattern such as the alliance between the German Baader-Meinhof group and the Japanese Red Army Faction, but even such international alliances as this did not, until at least the 1980s, presage anything like a global terrorist network necessitating a global strategic response. This study examines terrorism and global strategic responses.
