Framing Political Violence: Success and Failure of Religious Mobilization in the Philippines and Thailand

How do religious civil wars evolve? Many violent conflicts are fought between groups of different faiths. The paper argues, however, that religious differences rarely directly lead to conflict onset. Rather, the apparent religious dimension of many civil wars is a consequence of successful religious framing. Political and military leaders offer religious interpretations designed to legitimize the use of force and to mobilize believers to violent action. Such framing processes can be more or less successful, depending inter alia on the authority of the political and religious leadership, on the coherence and appropriateness of the frames, on the existence of persuasive counter-frames, and on the availability of communication infrastructures that allow for effective dissemination of religious frames. Comparing violent conflicts in the Philippines and Thailand, the paper shows that religious mobilization can fail along the theoretically predicted lines.     

试论转化型抢劫罪的认定标准

在司法实践中,由盗窃、诈骗、抢夺转化为抢劫的刑事犯罪是一类比较典型的犯罪,其典型性主要体现为其犯罪性质已由盗窃、诈骗、抢夺转化为抢劫。现行刑法典第269条规定:“犯盗窃、诈骗、抢夺罪,为窝藏赃物、抗拒抓捕或者毁灭罪证而当场使用暴力或者以暴力相威胁的,依照本法第二百六十三条的规定定罪处罚,”根据这一规定,上述犯罪应以抢劫罪论处。笔者认为,在司法实务中适用本条来处理案件时,要真正理解本条的立法原意,并正确把握转化型抢劫罪严格的适用条件。这在实践中具有十分重要的意义。本文结合实践,对刑法典第269条转化型抢劫罪的适用条件等问题作一初步探讨。

粗糙集理论在装备保障训练效果评估中的应用

装备维修保障训练效果评估中最关键的步骤就是评估指标体系的构建及优化,为了克服传统评价方法中存在指标关联性大和权重确定主观性强的问题,将粗糙集和信息熵理论引入装备维修保障训练效果评估领域。采用信息熵的算法对连续指标离散化,基于粗糙集区分矩阵的方法对指标体系进行属性约简,降低了模型的复杂性;在此基础上提出了粗糙集属性重要度和AHP法相结合确定指标权重的方法,进而通过专家评议应用于训练效果评估实例,得到了较好的评估效果,为装备维修保障训练评估提供了新的参考方法。     

一种改进的运动目标检测方法

提出的运动目标检测方法是基于动态阈值二值化图像,将帧差法与背景差法相融合,最终检测并提取出运动目标。通过VC++开发平台编程,并对监控图像中的运动目标进行检测实验,结果表明该方法与基于固定阈值二值化图像的方法相比能够更精确地检测出监控图像中的运动目标,且具备一定的鲁棒性。     

BST组分对介电可调性的影响

从钛酸锶钡（BST）相变行为出发,指出在外加电场的作用下,氧八面体中心的Ti4＋偏离在零场中氧八面体的位置,可使介电常数降低,并讨论了组分对介电性的影响。结果表明,在居里点以上50-100 K的范围内具有介电可调性,并且越接近居里点可调性越强。     

A dynamic allocation heuristic for centralized safety stock

An inventory system that consists of a depot (central warehouse) and retailers (regional warehouses) is considered. The system is replenished regularly on a fixed cycle by an outside supplier. Most of the stock is direct shipped to the retailer locations but some stock is sent to the central warehouse. At the beginning of any one of the periods during the cycle, the central stock can then be completely allocated out to the retailers. In this paper we propose a heuristic method to dynamically (as retailer inventory levels change with time) determine the appropriate period in which to do the allocation. As the optimal method is not tractable, the heuristic's performance is compared against two other approaches. One presets the allocation period, while the other provides a lower bound on the expected shortages of the optimal solution, obtained by assuming that we know ahead of time all of the demands, period by period, in the cycle. The results from extensive simulation experiments show that the dynamic heuristic significantly outperforms the “preset” approach and its performance is reasonably close to the lower bound. Moreover, the logic of the heuristic is appealing and the calculations, associated with using it, are easy to carry out. Sensitivities to various system parameters (such as the safety factor, coefficient of variation of demand, number of regional warehouses, external lead time, and the cycle length) are presented. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
