谈我国城市消防管理

城市消防是城市根据本身对安全的需要而建立起来的防范体系。随着城市发展,火灾和各种突发灾害增加,消防工作对保障社会安全的作用越来越突出。目前,我国的城市基本建立了完善的消防组织系统,消防管理的法制建设不断推进。但是,消防建设是一项长期的工作,需要全社会的参与和努力。为此,需要认真执行消防法律法规,实现城市消防的法制化。     

Walking a tightrope: the International Criminal Court and conflict prevention in Africa

Many African countries gained political independence in the 1960s. This era of independence came with promises and great expectations of economic, political and social development. Fifty years later, it is certain that the promises and expectations of independence have not been easily realised. Perennial violent conflicts have continued to ravage many countries in Africa, causing the catastrophic breakdown of law and order. Therefore, one of the major issues in conflict resolution discourse in Africa is how to develop functional mechanisms for the prevention of violent conflicts. This article examines the capacity of the International Criminal Court (ICC) to act as a mechanism for conflict prevention in Africa. Notwithstanding the doubts and uncertainties associated with the impact of law on conflict transformation, this article argues in the main that the ICC contributes to conflict prevention in Africa by expressing global norms of international law, challenging the culture of impunity in some countries, contributing to general deterrence, speedily intervening in some violent conflicts, and contributing to building some records of atrocities by identifying who did what.     

MONEY IN SOUTHERN AFRICAN POLITICS

“Lack of money is the root of all evil”

George Bernard Shaw

In a environment where party financing, private funding in particular, is generally a laissez-faire business, as in most Southern African countries, there is the real risk that interest groups and wealthy individuals will buy influence in political parties and in so doing erode public confidence in the political system. Because they are neither open to public scrutiny nor subject to any legislative restraints, huge private donations can, and often do, come with strings attached. This lack of transparency and openness, as well as mechanisms to prevent it, provides ample ground for influence peddling, where those who pay the piper call the tune. Left unchecked, this party funding scenario will continue to be a serious indictment of the region's democratisation projects, crippling democracy and stunting economic development.

航空发动机燃滑油附件后盖裂纹原因分析与预防对策

针对某型航空发动机燃-滑油附件后盖同部位成批次出现裂纹的问题,提出了裂纹故障引导转移的避障策略。通过研究裂纹产生的主要原因,分析后盖不同部位所产生的裂纹可能对航空发动机造成的危害程度,调整改变原支撑结构,在后盖非关键部位形成新的应力集中点,降低关键部位应力集中区的应力幅值,迫使故障从不可修复的关键部位转移到可修复的非关键部位。经计算机仿真,确定了裂纹引导缺口的最佳参数;同时,仿真结果表明,裂纹故障引导转移策略合理可行。
