游客形象对中国公共外交的影响分析

中国已经成为世界第一旅游消费大国,庞大的出国人群原本可以成为公共外交的使者和国家形象的代言人,遗憾的是,此起彼伏的中国游客不文明行为,不仅引起目的地居民的反感,而且降低了中国政府公共外交的可信度,使国家形象受损。在全民外交时代,应加强对游客形象问题的研究,探究其对公共外交的影响程度,充分发挥个体在公共外交中的积极作用。     

海南城镇化发展及其休闲农业为主的产业支撑调研

海南城镇化率低,但仍保留较好生态环境,为发展休闲农业提供了良好条件。该文提出,海南城镇化发展路径是通过在广大乡村地区发展种养业,在城镇内开发农产品加工业,为休闲农业提供旅游商品。在这一过程中,创造就业岗位,吸引劳动人口向城镇聚集,从而加速城镇化进程。     

论侦查假设在视频图像侦查中的运用

在信息化背景下,视频图像侦查已经成为刑侦部门打击和预防犯罪的重要方法之一。在视频图像侦查中,侦查人员针对采集的视频图像信息运用侦查假设的方法进行研判分析,挖掘出侦查线索,化解侦查僵局,切实推进侦查工作的进程。因此,有必要以大量视频图像侦查成功案例为素材,系统地对侦查假设在视频图像侦查中运用的工作流程进行梳理和总结,从人、案情、通信工具、交通工具、现场痕迹物证和光影六个方面提出假设并验证假设。     

加工贸易渠道走私犯罪及对策研究

加工贸易在促进我国经济增长、出口创汇以及推进我国工业化进程等方面做出了历史性的贡献。由于区域经济发展不均衡、海关监管制度存在漏洞、走私犯罪日趋集团化和专业化以及缉私警力相对紧张,加工贸易各领域、各环节都存在严重的走私犯罪行为。加工贸易渠道的走私犯罪涉及范围广泛、涉案金额巨大,不仅使国家税收大量流失,而且对我国社会主义市场经济秩序造成了强烈冲击。加工贸易走私犯罪具有手段隐蔽、周期漫长、取证困难等特点,给案件的侦破带来了很大的困难和挑战。我国破获的此类案件数量较少,难以对犯罪分子形成有力震慑。因此,我们一方面要强化自身能力建设,另一方面要加强对加工贸易渠道走私犯罪的研究,双管齐下,多措并举,严密防范,严厉打击,有效遏制其连年增长的趋势。加强对加工贸易渠道走私犯罪的研究工作,既是打击走私犯罪的现实需要,也是提高缉私效能的必由之路。     

公务员面试计算机评分系统中数据加密技术的研究与实现

随着我国公务员录用面试信息化建设工作的深入推进,各地陆续在公务员面试过程中采用了公务员面试计算机评分系统。该系统对考官基本信息库、考官的原始计分表、监督员（复核员）的统计表等数据的加密存贮和传输非常重要。为避免泄密,基于PKI技术的“混合签密”方案应用于面试计算机评分系统,能很好地提供机密性、完整性、可认证和不可否认性保证数据的安全性。     

Individual Camera Identification Using Correlation of Fixed Pattern Noise in Image Sensors

Abstract:  This paper presents results of experiments related to individual video camera identification using a correlation coefficient of fixed pattern noise (FPN) in image sensors. Five color charge-coupled device (CCD) modules of the same brand were examined. Images were captured using a 12-bit monochrome video capture board and stored in a personal computer. For each module, 100 frames were captured. They were integrated to obtain FPN. The results show that a specific CCD module was distinguished among the five modules by analyzing the normalized correlation coefficient. The temporal change of the correlation coefficient during several days had only a negligible effect on identifying the modules. Furthermore, a positive relation was found between the correlation coefficient of the same modules and the number of frames that were used for image integration. Consequently, precise individual camera identification is enhanced by acquisition of as many frames as possible.     

Data protection legislation: What is at stake for our society and democracy?

The author starts by questioning the main privacy challenges raised by our present and future information society viewed as a “global village”. Apart from a comparison with the traditional village of our parents, he identifies the two complementary and not dissociable facets of our privacy: the right to seclusion and the right to participate fully in our society. According to the first German Constitutional Court recognizing the right to informational self-determination as a new constitutional right, he underlines the need to analyse the data protection as a tool for ensuring both the citizens' dignity and our democracy.     

Electronic signatures and security issues: An empirical study

Security concerns with regard to the use of electronic signatures in the electronic environment seem to represent a potential barrier to their usage. This paper presents an empirical study that examines businesses' perceived security concerns with the use of the electronic signature technology for executing contracts and commercial transactions and whether such issues represent a disincentive for their usage. The findings of the study reveal that there are significant security concerns in the business community with regard to the use of electronic signatures. However, such perceptions seem to be primarily driven by a lack of awareness and understanding. Advising prospective users of electronic signatures about the kind of safeguards that could be put in place to minimise risks associated with their usage can be a useful step towards overcoming their fears and hesitance.     

Digital Britain – the final report

The final Digital Britain report was published in June as to set out the Government's final proposals and updating an interim version that has been published in January this year. This article builds upon an earlier article in [2009] 25 CLSR 263, which analysed the interim report in depth. The intention is not to repeat that earlier analysis, but rather update it and draw the reader's attention to those key areas of change.     

Relativierung des Rechts durch Digitalisierung

Das Recht ist in modernen Gesellschaften ein wichtiges Steuerungsmittel. Schon bisher ist es allerdings nicht das einzige Instrument gewesen, um gesellschaftliche Entwicklungen und individuelles Verhalten zu beeinflussen. Es gab und gibt Bereiche, die sich selbst organisieren und in denen staatliches Recht aus unterschiedlichen Gründen nicht das entscheidende Steuerungsmittel ist. Dieser Beitrag untersucht, wie sich die zunehmende Digitalisierung der modernen Gesellschaften auf die Steuerungsfähigkeit des Rechts auswirkt. Er kommt dabei zu dem Ergebnis, dass die Bedeutung des Rechts in der digitalisierten und hoch fragmentierten Welt abnimmt. Das Recht muss sich deshalb Verbündete in anderen Bereichen der Gesellschaft suchen, um weiterhin Steuerungsfunktionen für die Gesellschaft wahrnehmen zu können. Der Beitrag skizziert, wer als Verbündeter des Rechts in Frage kommt und wie die notwendigen transrechtlichen Kooperationen aussehen könnten.
