The African Standby Force: The African Union’s tool for the maintenance of peace and security

Declared operationally ready in 2016, the African Standby Force (ASF) has not been deployed in its originally designed form. This is not for the lack of opportunities but rather a demonstration of the power of the Regional Economic Communities/Regional Mechanisms (RECs/RMs) – Africa’s sub-regional security structures – over matters of peace and security. Experience gathered from its short existence suggests that the ASF may never be deployed in its current form. It may instead evolve into a robust framework, adaptable mainly by the RECs/RMs, for addressing varied security challenges. Four things are critical to enhancing the utility of the ASF: the political willingness of the RECs/RMs, the strategic interest of the member states, predictable and sustainable financing, and clarity on the role of the African Capability for Immediate Response to Crisis, the temporary battlegroup that was created to provide the African Union with a rapid response capability, pending the ASF’s operationalization.     

新体制下集团军信息化建设的现状分析与对策建议

在建设世界一流军队征程中,陆军正面临着一场革故鼎新的变革。文章深入分析了集团军信息化建设中存在的官兵科技素质不高、基础设施不牢靠和指控系统不统一等问题,总结出了一是要积极参与上级信息化建设总体设计,提出操作性很强的建设具体需求;二是要依据上级的"规划图"制定好本级的"施工图",把职责范围内的各项工作落细落实;三是要扎实抓好官兵学习训练,努力提升官兵的综合科技素养等对策建议。     

军队应尽快实现“三个转变”

现代科学技术的广泛军事应用,一方面引起了作战方式方法和手段的深刻变化,另一方面则对军人素质和军事教育训练提出了新的更高要求。我们必须着眼习主席提出的"能打仗、打胜仗"强军目标,尽快实现"三个转变",即士兵要由"娇弱型"向"强悍型"转变,军官要由"管理型"向"指挥型"转变,部队要由"生活型"向"打仗型"转变。     

Original Sword Designs,Now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art,New York,Entered in Competition to Make Admiral Seymour’s City of London Sword of Honour in 1882

This paper examines two rare original Sword Designs, which have recently come to light, patterns said to be the two sides of the Sword of Honour awarded with the Freedom of the City of London to Admiral Seymour, Baron Alcester, Commander-in-Chief HM Ships and Vessels Mediterranean, for the Egyptian Campaign in 1882. The paper places the designs in their historical and iconographical context and assesses, by examining various evidence, if the patterns are, in fact, the original designs of the sword actually presented to Seymour at the Guildhall in 1883.     

论当前大学生学风建设

学风建设是高校的生命线,加强学风建设已成为各高校的共识。学风建设是学校的灵魂,好的学风是学校最宝贵的财富之一,是学校创品牌、树信誉、谋求生存发展的基础。学风建设的有力措施是:以科学的理念指导学风建设;以学风建设为核心,抓好学生管理工作;以“三课堂”为阵地,抓好学风建设;营造良好氛围,培育优良学风;加强教风管理,促进学风建设。     

师生心理场探析

教育、教学的双边活动构成了师生心理场。本文从心理学与社会学的角度对师生心理场的运行机制作了简单的介绍,进而从"教"与"学"的双向活动中对师生心理场的诸多因素进行分析和评价,并就"教"与"学"活动在理论与实践的结合上做了一定的探索。     

潜艇纵向振动计算及振动特性

采用有限元方法建立了潜艇纵向振动分析有限元模型,求出了某艇在水面巡航状态的纵向振动模态.发现潜艇耐压壳纵向振动除具有典型的“活塞”式振动特征外,还具有众多与“一维梁”纵向振动不同的特性.     

论中国现代散文的“情”、“志”之美

"情"与"志"是构成现代散文的重要因素之一。散文的"情"与"志"的要求是真实、新颖、深湛,言近而意深,纸短而情长。散文要确立真实、新颖而深湛的"情"、"志",还要注重两者的融合。散文中说理、言志的方式多种多样。
