Since the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States and many other countries have adopted a “paradigm of prevention,” employing a range of measures in an attempt to prevent future ...terrorist attacks. This includes the use of pretextual charges for preventive detention, the expansion of criminal liability to prohibit conduct that precedes terrorism, and expansion of surveillance at home and abroad. Politicians and government officials often speak of prevention as if it is an unqualified good. Everyone wants to prevent the next terrorist attack, after all. And many preventive initiatives, especially where they are not coercive and do not intrude on liberty, are welcome. But the move to a “preventive justice” model also creates potential for significant abuse. These risks suggest that we should be cautious about adopting preventive approaches, especially where they involve coercion. In part I of this essay, I articulate why preventive coercion is a problem. I respond, in particular, to a recent essay by Fred Schauer, "The Ubiquity of Prevention," which argued that “it is a mistake to assume that preventive justice is a problem in itself because preventive justice is all around us, and it is hard to imagine a functioning society that could avoid it.” In part II, I outline the formal constitutional and other constraints that are implicated by preventive measures in the United States, and I demonstrate that these constraints play a relatively small role in the actual operation of preventive measures. In part III, I maintain that informal constraints may actually play a more significant operational role in checking the abuses of prevention.
Este artigo pretende abordar a questão da forma e da substância do plano de expressão de imagens (pintura, fotografia, imagem digital). Se inicialmente a semiótica greimasiana clássica – ...especialmente Jean-Marie Floch (1985, 1986) e Felix Thürlemann (1982) – consagrou suas reflexões à relação entre forma da expressão e forma do conteúdo (semissimbolismo), a partir dos anos 1990, Jacques Fontanille se dedicou à delicada questão da substância da expressão. Em seguida, no quadro de sua proposta de hierarquia dos níveis de pertinência de análise, Fontanille (2005, 2008) introduziu os conceitos de suporte formal e suporte material que permitiram pensar a relação entre a imagem como texto e a imagem como objeto. Partiremos desses trabalhos para estudar a relação estreita entre substância da expressão da imagem e as práticas de produção/recepção.

Information transmission is to transmit information quickly and accurately through wired network, wireless network and encrypted network. It can not only reduce the complexity of information in ...related material support, but also provide an important basic guarantee for the application of other information technology. It plays an increasingly important role in the construction of material support informatization. According to the actual situation of material support construction, this paper briefly introduces the meaning of communication network, analyzes the importance of the application of communication network in material support, expounds the application of communication network in material support, and points out the matters needing attention in the application of communication network in material support.
The application research of artificial intelligence in material support is a key field, which can provide support in accurate prediction, effective supply chain management, intelligent inventory ...management, optimization routes, and risk assessment. This article first introduces the basic concepts of artificial intelligence and analyzes the application requirements of artificial intelligence in material support. On this basis, it proposes the application concept of artificial intelligence in material support, and elaborates on the various risk factors of using artificial intelligence technology for material support, providing corresponding measures and solutions. Finally, it describes the development direction of the application of artificial intelligence technology in material support.
This research advances a new P2PSNSQual model, a peer-to-peer (P2P) social networking site quality construct. This study derived its theoretical background from SNSQUAL, a social networking quality ...model, and qualitatively confirmed that two independent dimensions -- perceived usefulness and information quality -- influence the quality of P2P support groups on social media and continued user engagement. For people living with HIV and AIDS (PLHA), this study determined that perceived usefulness is based on five dimensions identified here: reduced felt stigma, reinforced safe space, critical life line, perceived social support, perceived material support. Information quality is determined for PLHA users by the availability of information critical to PLHA, access to which is facilitated by a social media-based health intervention. This study contributes to information systems (IS) research and practice by: 1) introducing a new quality construct, P2PSNS quality; 2) recognizing six required dimensions of P2PSNS quality for PLHA; 3) and creating the first P2P social media quality model (P2PSNSQUAL), contextualized for use within a unique user group; and 4) investigating the impact of P2PSNS quality on continued user engagement, and fills a gap in the IS literature. The new P2PSNSQUAL model identifies a need for further study of P2P SNS use by targeted user groups in the health intervention context.
The Internet of Things (IOT) plays an important role in improving the equipment support capability. Using the Internet of Things, cloud computing and other new advanced information technologies, the ...equipment material support system is constructed. In this paper, the architecture, the network structure and building steps of the equipment material support internet of things system are designed to promote the development of equipment material support.
The USA Patriot Act, passed in the aftermath of the 9/11 terror attacks, spurred a proliferation of federal regulations designed to forbid the provision of 'material support to terrorism'. This ...regulatory regime, while aimed at preventing US funds from reaching 'Foreign Terrorist Organizations' (FTOs), has been criticised for unintended consequences that adversely affect US-funded NGOs potential legislative remedy in Congress - the Humanitarian Assistance Facilitation Act (H.R. 3526) - but as of this writing, the bill has failed to advance beyond that introductory stage (H.R. 3526 - Congress.Gov).

Рассматривается служба материально-технического обеспечения Рабоче-крестьянской Красной армии в период боев у озера Хасан 29 июля – 11 августа 1938 года. В частности, представлена хронология действий ...транспортной службы и проблемы в организации подвоза огнеприпасов, продовольствия, инженерных материалов и других необходимых для ведения боевых действий материалов. Проблема материального обеспечения войск пристально рассматривается в ключе Советско-финской войны и Великой Отечественной войны. При этом малое внимание уделяется предшествующим конфликтам: конфликту на КВЖД, боям у озера Хасан и конфликту на реке Халхин-Гол, хотя они оказали значительное влияние на структуру службы материального обеспечения. Уже в 1939 г. был принят окончательный Полевой устав Рабоче-крестьянской Красной армии, в котором прописывались основные функции служб боевого и материального обеспечения. Цель статьи – изучение действий службы транспорта с различных точек зрения: от организации подвоза огнеприпасов до организации дорог к месту боев. До начала боев единственная дорога доходила до п. Ново-Киевское (с 1936 г. – п. Краскино), но и она размывалась ливнями, которые идут в регионе в это время года. От п. Ново-Киевское до озера Хасан сухопутной дороги не существовало, она была построена уже после окончания боев. Организация материального обеспечения в районе озера Хасан показала стойкость и готовность советских людей противостоять иностранной агрессии во всех отношениях, но при этом она выявила существенные недостатки, которые в том или ином виде просуществовали вплоть до середины Великой Отечественной войны, это показывает, что, несмотря на видимость ошибок, никто не принимал должных мер по их устранению.
On 10 February 2005, a New York jury convicted Mohamed Yousry, an Arabic interpreter and translator, of two related offenses: (1) violating US federal prison rules, called Special Administrative ...Measures (SAMs), designed, inter alia, to prevent high-risk inmates from communicating with confederates on the outside; and (2) aiding and abetting an Egyptian terrorist organization (U.S. v. Ahmed Abdel Sattar, Lynne Stewart, and Mohamed Yousry, 2005). By tracing Yousry's path from judiciary interpreter to prisoner, this article explores the legislative history of the SAMs, discusses their application/misapplication and sheds light on how this landmark case transformed the professional landscape for interpreters in the United States post-9/11. To highlight some of the implications for the profession and the discipline, it draws on current literature on translation and interpreting in situations of conflict. It also positions the verdict in the larger context of US national security and offers policy suggestions geared toward protecting this increasingly vulnerable profession.

With a large number of new equipment being put into use and the emerging intelligent concept being applied to material support, modern material support has become extremely complex and changeable, ...which has put forward a test for our country's modernization. The problem of unsmooth materials has been puzzling generations of material support personnel. How to deliver materials to places where they are needed and how to improve transportation efficiency are all difficulties that need to be overcome. Exoskeleton, a new type of equipment that has been widely used in other fields, points out a direction for our thinking.
