Responsibility in Complex Conflicts: An Afghan Case

This paper discusses soldiers’ moral responsibility in today’s complex conflicts. The point of departure is the increased focus on soldiers as moral decision-makers in war, illustrated by the introduction of core values in the Norwegian Armed Forces. Responsibility is one of these core values, but it is not clear exactly how we should understand responsibility. I use a case where a group of Norwegian soldiers in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) sought the cooperation of a group of mujahedeen to solve the military mission of establishing security. As confidence between the parties grew, the soldiers became horrified witnesses to a practice of bacha bazi, where a young boy is dressed up for entertainment and sexual abuse. This situation gives reason to question the limits of role responsibility, the status of soldiers’ legitimacy, and the challenges of making morally sound judgments in a multicultural context. The discussion demonstrates that, even if there are restrictions on the soldiers’ freedom to act, a responsibility reaching beyond or extending their role should be recognized as part of the moral reality of modern soldiers.

文章介绍了一种基于n阶布拉格衍射的新型冷原子干涉重力仪,可以进一步提高现有拉曼跃迁型原子干涉重力仪的测量灵敏度和稳定度。在介绍布拉格衍射型原子干涉重力仪基本原理的基础上,建立了原子平行驻波入射的时间型布拉格衍射冷原子干涉重力仪理论模型,分析了实验所需的关键条件,包括原子团纵向温度,布拉格激光直径、曲率半径、频率、强度以及时序等。与已有实验数据的对比结果表明,本文所建模型合理,所得结论能够为实际构造一台布拉格衍射型冷原子干涉重力仪提供有意义的指导。     

卫星导航抗干扰接收机信道大动态范围通用设计方法研究*

为适应“导航战”下的强干扰输入,导航接收机对模拟信道的动态范围提出了更高的要求。在给定的信噪比恶化容限约束下,原有的分析方法给出了二维曲线分析模型,得到了动态范围的优化设计及各级增益划分方法,但仅适用于输出功率基本不变的AGC电路。基于增加的AGC输出回退功率这一参数,论文提出了一种三维曲面求解模型,揭示了各电路参量与模拟信道动态范围的约束关系,可适用于输出功率变化的AGC电路,以实现更高的动态范围。针对三维模型中参数求解复杂的问题,利用纯衰减网络的特性将复杂的数值求解简化为直线求解,大幅降低了设计复杂度。在给出的设计实例中,动态范围测试结果与设计预期吻合较好,验证了方法的正确性。     

Civilian protection in Africa: How the protection of civilians is being militarized by African policymakers and diplomats

This article explores how the protection of civilians is being militarized by African policymakers and diplomats. I draw on practice approaches to analyze what social groups are doing when they claim to “protect civilians.” I show how innovative protection mechanisms can be seen as a function of officials and diplomats coping with the changing circumstances of increasingly militarized politics in Africa. Specifically, accountability mechanisms for unintended and intended civilian harm by African security operations have originated in connection with this development. I argue that these are results of anchoring practices, which means that everyday informal interactions in one context become linked to another context. I argue that these emerging accountability mechanisms represent a new combination of practices, with the potential of changing the routine activities and mutual learning between policymakers and diplomats.     

The human consequences of foreign military intervention

The empirical international conflict literature has given much recent attention to interstate armed force’s impact on human well-being. While empirical research has advanced our understanding of the phenomenon considerably, we argue that one conclusion that many studies have reached is preliminary. Some recent research contends that only full-scale war, and not force short of war, has a discernable impact on human welfare or physical quality of life (PQOL). We develop theory on one type of force short of war, large-scale foreign military intervention (FMI), and its potential effects on PQOL. Using interrupted time series and panel corrected standard error methodologies, we find that from 1960 to 2005 large-scale FMI had a statistically and substantively significant impact on the PQOL of populations in 106 developing countries. The specific effect that this type of armed force has depended in large part on the regime type of the target country.

融合空间偏好和语义的个体活动识别方法

个体活动识别对用户画像、个性化推荐、异常行为检测、群体行为分析和基于活动的资源配置优化具有重要价值。提出了一种基于稀疏的社交媒体签到数据的个体活动语义识别方法,从签到数据中提取活动行为的时间周期性和趋势性特征,并采用空间偏好量化算法,从个体与群体活动的空间关联中提取群体和个体的空间访问偏好,使用自然语言嵌入工具BERT模型提取访问兴趣点的语义。时间特征、空间偏好特征和访问兴趣点名称语义特征共同构成表征群体、个体偏好的时空联合特征,通过极限梯度提升分类器对其进行分类,得到活动语义识别结果。在Foursquare数据集上的对比实验和消融实验中验证了所提活动语义识别模型可以有效提升活动语义识别的准确性。     

伞衣优化设计对群伞系统气动特性的影响分析

随着载人航天、深空探测等航天任务的蓬勃发展,航天器回收载荷质量大幅提高,以单具降落伞为功能核心的传统减速系统已不能满足大质量回收载荷日益提高的迫切要求,发展群伞减速着陆系统是实现大载重航天器高效减速和无损着陆要求的发展方向。本文采用数值模拟手段对群伞系统的气动特性开展仿真研究,结合环帆伞构型优化设计,分析了多种构型下群伞系统的气动特性。通过对仿真结果进行流场分析和数据对比发现,开窗/开缝设计既能够确保群伞系统具有良好的阻力特性,又能够维持群伞系统的工作稳定性,避免单伞之间由于受力而发生碰撞现象。采用数值仿真手段不仅可以提高降落伞研制效率,降低研发成本,也为设计人员掌握群伞系统的工作原理、促进降落伞设计理论发展提供了有力保证。
