What drones inherit from their ancestors

Any specific technology derives attributes from the generic technologies of which it is an instance. A drone is a flying computer. It is dependent on local data communications from its onboard sensors and to its onboard effectors, and on telecommunications links over which it receives data-feeds and command-feeds from terrestrial and perhaps airborne sources and from satellites. A drone acts on the world, and is therefore a robot. The remote pilots, and the operators of drone facilities such as cameras, depend on high-tech tools that interpret data that display transmitted, enhanced and generated image and video, and that enable the composition of commands. So drone operators are already cyborgs. Many drones carry cameras and are used for surveillance. Computing, data communications, robotics, cyborgisation and surveillance offer power and possibilities, but with them come disbenefits and risks. Critical literatures exist in relation to all of those areas. An inspection of those literatures should provide insights into the limitations of drones, and the impacts and implications arising from their use.     

资本市场下公司筹资风险预警控制区域研究

现代公司通过资本市场筹资时,首先要解决的问题是筹资风险的规避和 利用。在设置公司筹资风险预警控制区域时,量化方法仅从量化角度给出了公司财务机 构一个可以控制的区域,即在未来时期,只要公司的筹资风险指标数值落入该预警控制 区域中,表示公司的筹资风险可以为决策者所控制,公司管理层可以驾驭筹资风险,并 利用筹资风险获取超值收益。     

Research on Risks of China＇s Enterprises＇ Utilizing Foreign Direct Investment - Taking the Failure of Investment Invitation of Bearing Factory in Northwestern China as an Example

利用外资（FDI）并不总能实现理想化的互利共赢局面,这一点在学界研究中国利用外资三十多年的具体实践中已经得到印证。利用外国直接投资设立合资企业的风险表现为合资企业运营过程中特别是合资企业转变为独资企业时对中方投资主体的权益可能造成的影响。在国家进一步优化外商投资环境,吸引外资的背景下,如何维护中方投资主体在合资企业中的合法权益,是值得深入研究的问题。     

Understanding the drone epidemic

Drones are aircraft that have no onboard, human pilot. Through the twentieth century, piloted aircraft made far greater progress than drones. During the twenty-first century, on the other hand, changes in both drone technologies and drone economics have been much more rapid. Particularly in the case of small, inexpensive devices, the question arises as to whether existing regulatory frameworks can cope. To answer that question, it is necessary to document the nature and characteristics of drones, the dimensions across which they vary, the purposes to which they are put, and the impacts that they appear likely to have. The analysis concludes that careful consideration is needed of the adequacy of controls over the impacts of drones on two important values – public safety, and behavioural privacy.

从互助到保障和赔偿:船东保赔协会演变研究

船东保赔协会乃基于互助自保,由船东联盟分担航船风险的非盈利组织,经历了从一般的基尔特式的社团,到18世纪、19世纪早期的船舶保险协会,再发展为19世纪中下叶的船东互相保障与赔偿协会。船东保赔协会的发展路径受立法和船东所遭际的责任风险所影响和推动,其法律人格也经历了"合伙人说"、"个人集合说"和"法人说"。当今的船东保赔协会经营业务和服务方式发生了巨大的变化,协会之间与商业保险公司之间竞争激烈,呈现出市场化取向。

Constructing reconstruction,territorializing risk: imposing “no-build zones” in post-disaster reconstruction in Tacloban City,Philippines

Analysis of post-disaster reconstruction of urban areas has largely been understood as a function of technocratic and institutionalist paradigms, while critical perspectives have been largely influenced by the analysis of “disaster capitalism.” Common to these paradigms is little analysis of state attempts to deploy power over a population through controlling space in urban areas. This paper examines the strategies of internal territorialization undertaken by the Philippines state in post-Haiyan reconstruction polices. Drawing on data from Tacloban City, I show how bourgeois environmentalist and urban ecological security approaches exclude the urban poor from undertaking reconstruction in coastal communities. Discourses of cleanliness and securing the population of the city have accompanied material practices that enforce state territorialization in the city. These processes of state territorialization exclude those residing in risk prone zones from various forms of aid and relief. This paper concludes by highlighting processes of territorialization that have generated conflict in the city, as poor residents engage in forms of counter-territorialization to assert their space in the city.
