SECURITY AND FORCED MIGRATION CONCERNS IN SOUTH AFRICA

“As we close this century, there is for the first time realistic hope of a more just future. A Century stained with the sufferings of ceaseless war and atrocity is as much marked by our incomplete efforts to secure the foundations of an international society, one in which all peoples are equal and equally protected from abuse. The last decade has seen the application of dormant humanitarian principles and laws in various fora. The ICC offers us the opportunity to build on these disjointed enforcement efforts. A properly functioning permanent court will be humanity's best chance yet to move out of its self-destructive cycle. Justice is a vindication, a historical right and a deterrent.”     

基于证据理论的军械装备修理能力认证评估方法

借鉴AHP法建立军械装备修理能力认证评估体系,并构建其递阶层次模型。确立体系各级指标权重中,引入D-S证据理论对多专家意见进行融合;综合考虑专家的权重和不确定度,并采用单值转换分布概率算法对专家评价分数进行换算,改进了AHP法受专家经验、知识限制,主观性强等缺点。经算例分析,该方法能准确可靠地评价型号装备修理机构的修理能力,减少专家主观因素对评估结果的影响。     

US warfare in Somalia and the trade-off between casualty-aversion and civilian protection

This article examines the ways in which the two normative concerns of casualty-aversion and civilian protection influenced US military strategy in the particular context of the asymmetric conflict in Somalia in the early 1990s. The article critically evaluates US military operations through the prism of international humanitarian law and examines whether American forces started prioritizing casualty-aversion over the safeguarding of Somali civilians. Finally, by drawing on emerging moral guidelines (such as Michael Walzer's idea of ‘due care’), the article examines whether lower numbers of Somali civilian deaths could have been achieved if marginal increases to the risks faced by US soldiers had been accepted.     

Lost through non-translation: bringing Clausewitz's writings on ‘new wars’ back in

While Carl von Clausewitz has generally been respected as one of the most profound philosophers of war, his expertise has been regarded as somewhat limited if not even irrelevant to the so-called ‘new wars’ of the post-Cold War world. Many scholars in international relations have claimed that ‘new wars’ are essentially ‘post-Clausewitzian’ and ‘post-trinitarian’ in nature, meaning that they are no longer fathomable through a Clausewitzian framework. However Clausewitz's earlier writings were nearly exclusively dedicated to guerrilla warfare, or what he called ‘small wars’. These writings have been largely overlooked by many analysts of contemporary conflicts. By drawing on his rare and untranslated writings, the article uncovers a critical part of Clausewitz's expertise in asymmetric warfare and shows that, far from being irrelevant in an age where interstate warfare is increasingly being replaced by conflicts between states and semi-/non-state actors, Clausewitz's philosophical writings actually shed new light into the particular interactive dynamics generated during wars waged under conditions of asymmetry.     

基于定性信息的装备技术状态评估

利用定性信息对装备技术状态进行评估是提高评估时效性的有效手段.通过对装备技术状态评估研究现状的分析,论证了运用D-S证据理论进行装备技术状态评估的可行性.结合D-S证据理论的特点,提出了适用于装备技术状态评估的可信度分配策略.采用基于投影的证据融合方法,以解决传统D-S证据理论在融合高冲突证据时的缺陷.在评价决策中运用最大基本信度状态评价准则进行评价决策.最后,将提出的分析方法,应用于某具体装备的技术状态评估中,验证了该方法的有效性.     

我国行政程序证据制度的缺失及其影响

依法行政不能仅强调行政行为＂依照法律、法规、规章的规定进行＂,＂公正合法的程序、正确地认定事实＂也是依法行政的应有之义。基于此,我们需要行政程序法,更需要行政程序法对行政程序中的证据问题作出明确、科学而详细的规定。而我国目前尚无行政程序证据制度可言,行政机关在实践中为防止成为被告而承担败诉的风险,只得按照行政诉讼证据规则要求自己。但行政管理的特殊性与行政行为的多样性决定了行政机关不应照搬繁琐而严格的行政诉讼证据规则。实践中行政机关照搬行政诉讼证据规则会产生排异反应,造成诸多不适应。     

基于模糊Petri网的航材供应链冲突诊断建模与分析

结合航材供应链特点,建立航材供应链冲突诊断指标体系,并将节点问协作指标引入体系之中。通过模糊产生式规则,建立航材供应链冲突诊断模型,进行诊断推理,找出引起冲突的关键因素,并提出航材供应链冲突的防范对策。     

基于模糊证据理论的船舶安全评估

针对船舶安全评估过程中的诸多不确定因素,提出了一种基于模糊证据理论的安全评估方法.将证据体空间中的事件视为模糊子集,并引入模糊概率,更好地描述了专家意见(或知识),给出了质量分配函数的表示.最后,结合某船舶系统,给出了其安全评估的具体实现过程.结果表明,该方法可靠、有效.     

应用D-S证据理论进行多传感器雷达体制识别

在阐述Dempster-Shafer(D-S)证据理论的基础上,较系统地论述了基于D-S证据理论的多传感器雷达体制识别的数据融合方法,并给出了具体的识别实例。实验结果证明了基于多传感器融合后的识别结果明显优于单传感器的识别结果,说明了D-S证据理论的有效性和先进性。
