Combating Islamist radicalisation in South Africa

Is radical Islamism spreading in South Africa? The answer has to be an emphatic ‘yes’. When discussing issues of radicalisation in Africa, commentators often examine the case of Somalia's al-Shabaab or al-Qaeda's North African franchise, al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb (AQIM). Very little attention is paid to radicalisation amongst South Africa's Muslim population. Yet, there is growing evidence that South Africa has come to play an important role in global jihadi networks, from the provision of safehouses and identity documents to the movement of funds and the existence of paramilitary camps for local and foreign jihadis. This paper aims to briefly examine radicalisation and its attendant sources in the country, as well as seeking ways to combat it utilising lessons learned from other countries. ‘Institutional socialisation’ by means of the sources of radicalisation, as well as the concept of what could be termed ‘the democratisation of jihad’ are discussed. The author also proposes ways to combat radicalisation in South Africa utilising lessons learned from other countries, concluding that issues of radicalisation and deradicalisation have to be dealt with on the part of both government and the South African Muslim community.

基于支持向量机的制造系统静态复杂性综合模型研究

制造系统复杂性对优化制造系统结构设计、提高制造系统的生产效率具有非常重要的意义.然而目前对静态复杂性及动态复杂性影响因素复杂性及其测度的研究较多,对于如何将这些分因素复杂性进行综合得出综合复杂性的研究较少,这直接影响了复杂性研究结果的准确性。鉴于此,引入擅长处理小样本数据的支持向量机对制造系统静态复杂性进行综合,用遗传算法对其参数进行寻优,对模型的有效性进行了验证,结果说明方法的实用性与科学性较强.

基于单应轨迹的视频实时稳像算法

针对视频稳像中实时任务的需求特点,提出一种基于单应轨迹的视频稳像算法。估计序列图像帧间的单应变换,并将该变换作用于图像窗口的4个角点,从而对每帧图像产生4个短的单应轨迹以代表视频短时间内的运动。利用关联卡尔曼滤波器以一种连续方式对不同帧的单应轨迹进行平滑。对图像合成采用包括性和相似约束以提高结果视频的可观性质量。该算法以在线方式工作,消除了缓存输入图像帧导致的延迟,具备不依赖于复杂的3D重建和长距离特征跟踪的优点,并有效避免了单应模型表达视频运动模型的误差积累问题。实验表明该算法能够有效对包含2D和较复杂3D场景的视频进行稳像,并且能够达到实时处理速度。     

The German wars of liberation 1807–1815: The restrained insurgency

In the Age of Napoleon, ‘small wars’ and ‘revolutionary war’ were closely connected. There were, however, different strands of this phenomenon: speaking professionally, conservative officers condemned small wars as an irregular regression to previous less disciplined forms of warfare. The Prussian state continually tried to discipline and regulate spontaneous risings. Yet the irregular character of small wars offered the opportunities for a less complex way of fighting, thus enabling the arming of the ‘people’ to fight. Individual undertakings, such as Ferdinand von Schill's doomed campaign in 1809, were designed to spark off a general popular uprising. But they were cheered by many and supported by few. Meanwhile, Neidhardt von Gneisenau conceived guerrilla-style Landsturm home-defence forces, which were designed for an irregular people's war. These concepts were put into practice in the ‘war of freedom’ – or ‘war of liberation’ – in 1813. Eventually both the mobilisation and the tactics remained regular, however, despite the emphatic appeal to a national ‘people's war’.
