Beyond The Battlefield: Institutional Army Transformation Following Victory In Iraq, G. Scott Taylor Lieutenant Colonel Nov 2012

Beyond The Battlefield: Institutional Army Transformation Following Victory In Iraq, G. Scott Taylor Lieutenant Colonel

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The Army goes to great lengths to capture lessons learned and preserve these lessons for current practitioners and future generations. Though the Army is one of the most self-critical organizations found in American society, a well-deserved reputation has also been earned for failing to inculcate those lessons by transforming the institutional Army. Change is achieved through a continuous cycle of adaptive innovation, experimentation, and experience. In Iraq, out of necessity while in contact with a dynamic enemy, the Army transformed on the battlefield with radical changes in doctrine, organization, training, and materiel, which significantly enabled battlefield success. As a result …


The Judicialization Of International Atrocity Crimes: The Kharkov Trial Of 1943, Michael J. Bazyler, Kellyanne Rose Gold Nov 2012

The Judicialization Of International Atrocity Crimes: The Kharkov Trial Of 1943, Michael J. Bazyler, Kellyanne Rose Gold

San Diego International Law Journal

This Article analyzes the Kharkov trial, the first trial of Nazi war criminals undertaken by any Allied Power, as well as the first trial of the Holocaust. It is written on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of the Kharkov trial. Part II, as background, describes the Holocaust as experienced in Kharkov, Ukraine. Part III discusses the trial that took place in Kharkov: the defendants, the prosecution, the setting, and the testimony. Part IV looks at the Kharkov trial as a typical Stalinist “show trial,” where guilt has been predetermined and a trial is used merely as a show to …


A Blueprint For Buddhist Revolution: The Radical Buddhism Of Seno’O Girō (1889–1961) And The Youth League For Revitalizing Buddhism, James Mark Shields Nov 2012

A Blueprint For Buddhist Revolution: The Radical Buddhism Of Seno’O Girō (1889–1961) And The Youth League For Revitalizing Buddhism, James Mark Shields

Faculty Journal Articles

In the early decades of the twentieth century, as Japanese society became engulfed in war and increasing nationalism, the majority of Buddhist leaders and institutions capitulated to the status quo. One notable exception to this trend, however, was the Shinkō Bukkyō Seinen Dōmei (Youth League for Revitalizing Buddhism), founded on 5 April 1931. Led by Nichiren Buddhist layman Seno’o Girō and made up of young social activists who were critical of capitalism, internationalist in outlook, and committed to a pan-sectarian and humanist form of Buddhism that would work for social justice and world peace, the league’s motto was “carry the …

Jihadist Cells And "Ied" Capabilities In Europe: Assessing The Present And Future Threat To The West, Jeffrey M. Bale Dr. Nov 2012

Jihadist Cells And "Ied" Capabilities In Europe: Assessing The Present And Future Threat To The West, Jeffrey M. Bale Dr.

Books, Monographs & Collaborative Studies

The first of two interrelated security threats is multifaceted inasmuch as it stems from a complex combination of religious, political, historical, cultural, social, and economic motivational factors caused by the growing predilection for carrying out mass casualty terrorist attacks inside the territories of “infidel” Western countries by clandestine operational cells that are inspired by, and sometimes linked to, various jihadist networks with a global agenda. The second threat is more narrowly technical: the widespread fabrication of increasingly sophisticated and destructive improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by those very same jihadist groups. These devices, if properly constructed, are capable of causing extensive …

The Swiss Confederation In The Eyes Of America's Founders, Stephen P. Halbrook Nov 2012

The Swiss Confederation In The Eyes Of America's Founders, Stephen P. Halbrook

Swiss American Historical Society Review

The Swiss experience had a positive influence on the American Revolution, figured in the debates on adoption of the United States Constitution, and was a matter of commentary in the political struggles of the early Republic. The American model influenced the Swiss Constitution of 1848,t but before that the Swiss Confederation-then 500 years oldhelped inspire the birth of the American Republic, particularly regarding the interrelated concepts of resistance to oppression, independence from foreign states, neutrality, a people's militia, and federalism.

Potentially Polluting Marine Sites Geodb: An S-100 Geospatial Database As An Effective Contribution To The Protection Of The Marine Environment, Giuseppe Masetti, Brian R. Calder, Lee Alexander Nov 2012

Potentially Polluting Marine Sites Geodb: An S-100 Geospatial Database As An Effective Contribution To The Protection Of The Marine Environment, Giuseppe Masetti, Brian R. Calder, Lee Alexander

Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping

Potentially Polluting Marine Sites (PPMS) are objects on, or areas of, the seabed that may release pollution in the future. A rationale for, and design of, a geospatial database to inventory and manipu-late PPMS is presented. Built as an S-100 Product Specification, it is specified through human-readable UML diagrams and implemented through machine-readable GML files, and includes auxiliary information such as pollution-control resources and potentially vulnerable sites in order to support analyses of the core data. The design and some aspects of implementation are presented, along with metadata requirements and structure, and a perspective on potential uses of the database.


Science And Technology Parks As An Open Innovation Catalyst For Valorization, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu Nov 2012

Science And Technology Parks As An Open Innovation Catalyst For Valorization, Arcot Desai Narasimhalu

Research Collection School Of Computing and Information Systems

This paper sets out by reviewing the key elements of a Science or Technology Park in the context of open innovation. This is followed by a broad scan of Science and Technology Park activity in South and South East Asia. The paper proceeds to discuss Singapore’s continuous efforts to create new Science and Technology park models and presents a new approach the Singapore Management University has pursued for catalyzing valorization. Insights into and recommendations on key issues related to intellectual property, licensing and venture capital that would be of interest to any Science Park are presented later.


Tearing At The Seams Of (In)Visibility: Anti-Counterfeiting, Harper’S Bazaar, And The Project Of Neocolonization, Jessica A. Solyom Oct 2012

Tearing At The Seams Of (In)Visibility: Anti-Counterfeiting, Harper’S Bazaar, And The Project Of Neocolonization, Jessica A. Solyom

Kaleidoscope: A Graduate Journal of Qualitative Communication Research

This essay examines the role of the (counterfeit) fashion industry in shaping democracy, citizenship, and human rights ideals in the United States. Using the Harper's Bazaar “Fakes are Never in Fashion” anti-counterfeiting advertisement campaign as a case study, I explore how race, class, gender, law, and human rights discourse, coalesce to systematically maintain exploited garment workers voiceless/rights-less while simultaneously preserving the material interest(s) of a White, capitalist, patriarchal, hegemonic global order. This study presents important implications for larger discussions of rights and justice. Ultimately, this campaign demonstrates how, through the creation of a self-regulatory system that seeks to control the …

State-Of-The-Art In The Documentation Of The Papuan Languages Of Timor, Alor, Pantar, And Kisar; A Bibliography, Antoinette Schapper, Juliette Huber

Wacana, Journal of the Humanities of Indonesia

The Timor-Alor-Pantar (TAP) language family has a special place in South-East Asian linguistics; its members make up the western extreme of the Papuan language sphere. Along with an exhaustive bibliography of works on the TAP languages, this paper presents a state-of-the-art review of the ongoing documentation of the TAP language family in terms of both linguistic description and (pre-)historical reconstruction. The paper concludes with a consideration of the prospects for future studies of the TAP languages.

Bert The Turtle Won't Save You: American Science Fiction Prose And Criticism Of Nuclear Civil Defense During The 1950s, Cory Matieyshen Oct 2012

Bert The Turtle Won't Save You: American Science Fiction Prose And Criticism Of Nuclear Civil Defense During The 1950s, Cory Matieyshen

Northeast Popular Culture Association

During the early 1950s (the “Bert the Turtle” era of nuclear civil defense planning), federal civil defense authorities in the United States chose to all but ignore the effects of radiation in an effort to portray nuclear weapons as large conventional weapons. The focus of civil defense planning changed from protection from blast and heat to evacuation and, finally, home fallout shelters in the face of increasing weapons capability and knowledge of the effects of nuclear weapons over the course of the 1950s. This paper examines how changes in civil defense planning and assumptions are reflected in five examples of …


A Religion Problem: Classification And The Pathologizing Of The Religio-Political Other, Sabatino Dibernardo Oct 2012

A Religion Problem: Classification And The Pathologizing Of The Religio-Political Other, Sabatino Dibernardo

Northeast Popular Culture Association

In the current political climate, a glance at the nightly news shows from across the political spectrum will confront the viewer with various cultural conflicts—“wars”—being waged against, for example, women, the poor, the wealthy, the middle and working class(es), unions, marriage, drugs, and religion, among others. This paper will focus on one of these cultural conflicts: the “problem of (and war on) religion” and the appropriation of religious rhetoric as a political weapon of classification and pathologization of the religio-political other. The (video) text under analysis comes from The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell in a segment called The Rewrite …
