Emotions,Risk Perceptions and Precautionary Actions of Citizens During a Military Operation Using a New Defence Technology: The Israeli Case of the Iron Dome

Abstract

The current field study used unique data collected in Israel in July 2014, during a military operation that the Israel Defence Forces (I.D.F.) conducted in the Gaza Strip, in reaction to the thousands of missiles launched from there into Israel. During this operation, the new Iron Dome anti-missile defence system was used to protect Israelis exposed to missile attacks. The study examined factors that correlate with decisions to comply with I.D.F. defence instructions regarding behaviour during missile attacks. In addition, the study examined the relationship between attitudes towards the Iron Dome technology and emotions, risk perceptions, and the decision to comply with I.D.F. defence instructions. The results indicate that stronger positive opinions towards Iron Dome were correlated with lower levels of fear and anger, and beliefs that participant’s chances of being injured by a missile were lower than they had been during previous military operation. In addition, better compliance with I.D.F. defence instructions correlated with being more fearful, angrier at Hamas, living closer to Gaza Strip, and having more positive opinions about Iron Dome. The findings also indicate gender differences with respect to factors correlated with risk perceptions, opinions regarding Iron Dome, and precautionary actions during attacks.     

军校大学生媒介素养实证分析与启示

我国对媒介素养研究的时间并不长,关于军校大学生媒介素养的研究更为滞后,然而提升军校大学生的媒介素养,是信息化时代提升官兵素质的必然要求。通过调查问卷的方式,对军校大学生的媒介素养情况进行统计,并根据问题分析原因,最后对提高当前军校大学生媒介素养提出建议。     

部队运用大众传媒开展思想政治教育的调查与思考

在大众传播时代,随着大众传媒影响力的不断增加和对人们生活的深度介入,其思想政治教育功能和优势也日益凸显出来,成为当今最富时代特色、深受青年官兵喜爱的思想政治教育手段之一。依托某部队各单位在有关学院接受任职培训的基层党支部书记和政治机关预任处（科）长培训班学员,通过问卷调查、深度访谈等方式,就当前部队运用大众传媒开展教育的现状进行全面了解,分析问题存在的原因,并对加强和改进运用大众传媒开展思想政治教育提出了对策思考。     

Unemployed youth: ‘time bombs’ or engines for growth?

While popular narratives about success in South Africa focus on individual effort, accidents of birth continue to determine life prospects. Inequalities in early childhood development, health, and education narrow the range of possibilities that young people have available to them, and this impacts on their risk appetite, including, through the workings of the maturing brain, a propensity to violence, substance abuse, and unsafe sex. New technology offers young people an unprecedented ability to organise and network. This fact, combined with high levels of youth dissatisfaction, unemployment, and marginalisation, leads many to worry that the young are “ticking time bombs”. While there certainly are risks, great unused pools of youth labour also present an opportunity for engaging them in social advancement programmes. Structured youth service is a tried and tested policy option that, when implemented as part of an integrated youth development strategy, can enlist thousands of young people in devoting their considerable energies to leadership for the public good.

各向异性介质体目标电磁散射分析的快速算法

利用体积分方程矩量法(MoM)及其多层快速多级子算法(MLFMA)研究了各向异性的电介质体或/和磁介质体目标的电磁散射问题,将多层快速多级子算法的计算结果与解析方法(Mie)或矩量法结果进行了对比分析.不但验证了MLFMA算法的高效性和精确性,同时该算法还适合于分析模拟任意复杂介质体(如各向异性磁化等离子体)目标的电磁散射问题,为进一步实现电大尺寸的任意复杂各向异性介质体/金属组合目标电磁散射分析的精确高效算法奠定了基础.     

密集目标有偏航迹整体匹配关联方法

针对密集目标和传感器探测存在较大系统偏差的复杂条件下的分布式融合中航迹关联问题,设计了一种整体匹配航迹关联方法,首先将所有航迹划分成若干个关联聚,对各传感器都有多个目标航迹的关联聚采用多目标点图整体匹配,对某传感器只有单目标航迹的关联聚采用航迹段整体匹配,从而获得关联聚内所有航迹的关联关系。在仿真分析中,随机产生态势,分别计算新算法在不同情形下的漏关联、正确关联率、错误关联率。仿真验证结果表明该算法在不同目标密集程度、系统误差情形下都有较好的适应性。

公安现役部队推行审计公示制度的几点思考

审计公示制度实现了审计监督与群众监督、舆论监督和社会监督的有机结合,在从严治警、落实执法为民、促进部队管理中具有重要作用。今后必须推行审计公示制度,首先,要正确理解把握审计公告的内涵,探讨适合公安机关各个警种审计公示的方式;其次,要合理有效运用审计公示形式,切实把握审计公示的授权、程序化、管辖对等、诚信、准确谨慎、保密六个处理原则;第三,审计人员要不断增强监督与服务意识,提高依法审计的能力。     

层流介质中金属板腐蚀电位分布研究

为了研究流动介质中产生的静电场,结合电化学和流体力学相关知识建立层流介质中金属板模型,利用贝塞尔函数展开及其逆运算推导出在三层介质中基于点电荷模型的腐蚀电位解析表达式,同时计算出金属板产生的电场。运用推导出的解析表达式计算出在流动介质中任意场点处金属板随不同流速产生的腐蚀电位,并通过实验验证结果的正确性。结果表明,对层流条件下电化学反应产生的电流密度所建模型的结果与实验测量数据吻合度较高,同时电场分布也会随着流体流速及层流方向上长度的变化而发生变化。
