Race relations,nationalism and the humanitarian Rohingya crisis in contemporary Myanmar

ABSTRACT

The recent ethnic tensions in Myanmar especially in the Rakhine state has once again placed the country onto the centre stage of global media attention. The aim of this paper is to look at race relations in contemporary Myanmar with a special focus on the Rohingya community. The paper argues that problematic race relations in the country today should be analysed within a certain historical context and should be seen as part of a historical continuum. This paper places a lot of importance on this historical continuum. In this connection, the British colonial policies of divide and conquer, politicians and their obsession with Buddhism and trying to make it the state religion shortly after independence in 1948, and the xenophobic policies followed by the military junta after 1962 deserve special mention. The paper further argues that the current state of affairs and escalation in violence has happened recently because of the convergence of the activities and ideologies of certain political groups like the military junta, the National League for Democracy, the Arakan League for Democracy, and the role played by certain Buddhist extremist groups like the MaBaTha in Burmese politics. To ease the existing tension in the Rakhine, the central government would need to take a more federally minded approach and introduce meaningful democracy and development in the frontier parts of the country where there is a strong ethnic minority presence.     

广西壮族自治区检察机关轻缓刑事政策适用情况调查报告

当前在轻罪案件中不当逮捕现象严重,相对不起诉率偏低,抗诉只注重抗“轻”而忽视抗“重”。对不当立案的监督缺失以及对未成年人犯罪的特殊保护措施不力,是广西检察机关轻缓刑事政策适用中的突出问题。究其原因,主要有执法观念、工作制度、法律缺失等诸多因素。解决这些问题,必须通过加强教育引导、完善相关的工作制度和相关的法律规定等途径来共同进行。     

基于拉曼光谱的血液遗留时间研究与模型预测

目的针对犯罪现场血液遗留时间的判断问题,实验以不同遗留时间的血液为研究对象,建立基于拉曼光谱的血液遗留时间的辨别方法。方法采集遗留时间为0.5h~240h的指尖血液样本,获取其拉曼光谱数据,经校正和平滑处理后,对数据进行归一化。利用RSD值评价光谱的稳定性,选取前10个主成分和6个重要波段分别建立模型,利用预测集测试模型效果。结果相同遗留时间血液的拉曼光谱具有较好的稳定(RSD<0.2),不同遗留时间血液的拉曼光谱在680cm^-1等6个波段有明显的强度变化。前10个主成分建立的PLSR模型,其r²=0.9927。6个重要波段建立的PLSR模型,预测集效果r²=0.8797。结论利用拉曼光谱结合建模分析是一种无损快速的评估血液遗留时间的方法。     

足迹学研究课题归纳

所谓课题无非就是尚未解决的问题。足迹学研究课题有理论与实践两个方面的内容：从理论研究层面剖析,足迹学主要存在验证、丰富与完善自身理论体系等相关课题;从实践应甩层面探讨,足迹学需要解淡的主要是应用广度与深度,以及信度与效度等若干课题。它们基本反映了今后一段时期内足迹学学科建设过程申需要解决与面临的重点与关键。     

Are the Networks Biased? ``Calling' States in the 2000 Presidential Election

Among the controversies arising from the 2000 Presidentialelection was the accusation that media networks called, orprojected, a winner faster in those states won by Albert Gorethan in those states won by George W. Bush. We investigatethis accusation by estimating a Tobit model of the length oftime between states' poll closing times and the times at whichCNN projected a winner. Our results support the charge ofmedia bias. After controlling for other factors that affecthow quickly a state is called, states called for Gore werecalled 14 to 18 minutes faster than those called in favor ofBush.
