THE CHANGING MEANING OF SMALL ARMS IN NUER SOCIETY

The economic value, social status and symbolic meaning of small arms are particular and temporal in nature. This is demonstra ted through a historical account of the dynamics of cultural change and adaptation in Nuer society. Specifically, the article shows how attitudes towards small arms shif ted over time from a positive valuation of guns as prestigious objects, to ambivalence between the need for protection and the experience of increased local lawlessness and violence. More generally, it demonstrates how weapon-rela ted activities can only be fully understood when seen against a specific cultural background. Even if the display, use and circulation of weapons appear to carry cross-cultural references, typically as expressions of power and masculine identity, the meaning is always primarily local. Therefore, strategies to reduce the destructive impact of small arms through demand side programs, based on voluntary participation, can only be carried out successfully if built on an in-depth understanding of a particular cultural context.

Ku波段高功率TM0n-TM01 混合模式转换器设计

由于过模Ku波段高功率微波返波管通常输出TM0n混合模式,在保证较高能量转换效率的条件下,难以同时兼顾其输出模式的纯度,而辐射终端为达到理想发射效果又要求单一模式馈入,这就给输出混合模式微波源的实际应用带来了困难。针对这一技术难点,提出一种结构紧凑的TM0n-TM01(n≤3)混合模式转换器的设计方法,实现在高功率容量条件下和较宽频带范围内,高效地将TM0n混合模式转换为单一的TM01模,降低了此类高频段高功率微波源模式纯化设计的难度。     

Identifying the challenges to defence reform in Central and Eastern Europe: observations from the field

The authors have over 50 years' experience of working on defence in Central and Eastern Europe. They have been intimately involved in trying to reform over 10 national defence organisations including Ukraine. During this work, they often faced intractable resistance and scepticism or conversely, apparent unbounded support, but following this, a complete lack of any actual implementation work by officials. This paper addresses some of the findings and observations identified by the authors that appear to cause these responses and the consequent failure of reform. A new research approach has been taken by using the business and culture tools from Schein, Hofstede and Kotter to try and unravel the underlying causality of that failure. The second part of the paper produces a new process for change based upon the research conclusions to help other advisers and consultants working on reform in the post communist defence arena.

基于CNN的三相逆变器开路故障诊断及其样本条件分析

为了合理选择样本条件以实现高效的智能化诊断,以及克服智能化方法中传统反向传播(back propagation, BP)网络权值较多、局部信息提取能力不足的问题,对基于卷积神经网络(convolutional neural network, CNN)的开路故障诊断方法进行研究,并以典型的三相两电平逆变器为具体对象,着重分析样本时长、样本数量变化时,CNN方法相较于BP网络方法在网络权值数量、训练稳定性、诊断准确率上的量化优势。结果表明,基于CNN的方法可在权值数量远少于BP网络方法的情况下构建深度更深的诊断模型,并在更短样本时长、更少训练样本数量下实现高效、准确的开路故障诊断。
