Police Cloud: Functional modularity in China's cloud public security infrastructure

AbstractGlobally, China's Ministry of Public Security has one of the largest appetites and regulatory scopes for new technology use in policing. Using the case study of Police Cloud—a cloud infrastructure project, this paper examines a national wave of cloud migration initiated in Shandong in 2013. Police Cloud began to tackle the deep‐rooted challenges of information sharing across all levels of government. The analysis draws upon a dual dataset of government documents (n = 10) and newspaper articles (n = 277), qualitatively triangulated with Chinese academic articles and grey literature. The findings show how the Ministry of Public Security's switch to platformization triggered an overall change in public security governance. Contrary to platform policing experiences in other parts of the world, the Ministry of Public Security adopted Police Cloud by aiming to retain autonomy and control over private providers. Police Cloud also began enabling functional modularity of surveillance elements of China's public security.

Diagnosis of the Integrated Coastal Zone Management of Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a nation with great diversity of coastal-marine ecosystems. It established a National Sea Policy made up of different principles that are integrated to achieve a iczm, which together with a legal framework seeks equitable use of coastal-marine resources. This policy promotes multidisciplinary actions for the management of natural, technical and financial resources. Its regulations have a legal framework that includes laws and agreements for adequate management of coastal zones. It has the participation of the minae, incopesca, the Ministry of Public Security, the ict, and the Attorney General’s Office of the Republic. Specialized postgraduate courses in coastal management are offered and seek a complete education from basic education. At the same time, training, information and citizen participation strategies are used.

An empirical study of “public security centralism” in modern China and its legal and political ramifications

China's public security and Western police differ significantly in their approaches to law enforcement, administrative power, and institutional structure. The former operates within a centralized and hierarchical framework and is characterized by extensive powers. In this article, we examine the impact of the “Cracking Down Illegal Cards” campaign on judicial decisions initiated and led by the highest-level organization of China's public security authorities, the Ministry of Public Security. The findings reveal an increase in convictions and a rise in judicial arbitrariness resulting from this campaign. This underscores the importance of comprehending China's political-legal system and proposes ways to improve the role of public security in social management.

Funkcjonariusze Milicji Obywatelskiej i aparatu bezpieczeństwa publicznego w latach 1944–1956 w świetle opracowań własnych – portret zbiorowy w perspektywie porównawczej

The Citizen’s Militia and security apparatus functioned under a single ministry – the Ministry of Public Security. They had a different remit but worked together on many occasions. The article talks about the officers of the two institutions in a comparative perspective. The text is based on statistical summaries compiled by the Ministry of Public Security in the 1940s and 1950s. The Ministry of Public Security’s own studies have shown little difference between the statistical militiaman and officer of the Security Office. In the 1950s, militiamen were characterized by much poorer education and a higher percentage of those declaring religious practices. There were also far fewer women in their ranks. Despite this, the security apparatus officers treated the militiamen as someone inferior, and regarded the transition to the Citizen’s Militia as a demotion.

A Review of the Research Process of Building a New Public Security College Think Tank

Think tanks in public security academies are not only one of the important components to ensure scientific decision-making in public security, but also an important initiative to deepen public security reform. Domestic scholars have interpreted the meaning, construction and development paths of public security academy think tanks from different perspectives, with domestic studies focusing on the internal integration of public security academy think tanks with the Ministry of Public Security, while foreign studies focus more on the unofficiality and independence of think tanks. Examining the process of research on the construction of new public security academy think tanks in domestic and foreign academia helps to grasp the new areas and trends of their research at the theoretical level and offer suggestions to promote the development of new public security academy think tanks.

Estimation of the net error rate of population size in China’s household registration

ABSTRACT A combined three-source estimator is used to estimate the net error rate of population size in household registration. It avoids the bias in the two-source estimator due to the fact that the registration of an individual on one list affects his or her registration on another list. It makes better use of frequencies than the ordinary three-source estimator. It yields an estimated net error rate that is closest to 1% of error. The combined three-source estimator combines missing-cell estimators of ordinary three-source estimators working on the contingency table of presence or absence in the census population list, the post-enumeration survey population list, and the household population list. Matching of these three registration lists is filled into the seven non-missing cells of the contingency table. The missing-cell estimator involved in the combined three-source estimator is based on the missing-cell estimators of the ordinary three-source estimators. It requires that the three population lists fully register the post-strata population. In the case of sample registration, it is based on the sampling weights and population sizes of the sampled small census areas. It provides a lower mean square error than the ordinary three-source estimator, which itself provides a lower mean square error than the two-source estimator. The estimated 0.96% net under-registration rate of population size for the country as a whole in household registration is close to the 1.00% rate found in the rectification of household registration carried out by China’s Ministry of Public Security between May 15, 2010, and September 30, 2010. Despite the bias coming from the residual heterogeneity of individuals in each post-stratum, as the sample can only accommodate a limited total number of post-strata, the combined three-source estimator should yield a smaller mean square error than the ordinary three-source estimator of the net error rate of population size in household registration.

THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SERUM SOLUBLE ST2 CONCENTRATION AND SOME CLINICAL AND SUBCLINICAL INDICES IN PATIENTS WITH CHRONIC HEART FAILURE

Objectives: To investigate the level of serum soluble ST2 (sST2) and its association with some clinical and subclinical indices in patients with chronic heart failure (HF). Methods: A prospective cohort study was performed on 116 patients diagnosed with chronic HF at the Cardiology Department, Military Hospital 103, Hanoi and Cardiology Department, 19-8 Hospital - Ministry of Public Security, Hanoi, Vietnam, and 40 control patients at General Health Examination Department, Military Hospital 103, Hanoi from November 1, 2019 to September 30, 2022. Serum sST2 was measured using an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Results: The mean age (± standard deviation) of patients with chronic HF was 68.3 (± 15.9) years, with 57.8% of the total patients who showed their age was > 65 years. The median serum sST2 level in the group of patients with chronic HF (median: 5.89 ng/mL) was significantly higher than those in the control group (median: 2.39 ng/ml) (p < 0.05). Serum sST2 level increased as LVEF decreased, with the highest level in HF with reduced EF patient group, followed by HF with mildly reduced EF, and HF with preserved EF groups. Serum sST2 level had a significant, positive correlation with heart rate in chronic HF patients. The serum sST2 level in the group of NYHA class IV was significantly higher than those in the group of NYHA class III and II (p < 0.05). Conclusion: The level of serum sST2 increased in chronic HF patients. Serum sST2 level associated with left ventricular ejection fraction, and NYHA classification in chronic HF patients.

Sprawa archiwów wyodrębnionych w tezach i projekcie ustawy o archiwach i materiałach archiwalnych z lat 1970–1971 – pierwsze starcie kompetencyjne Archiwów Państwowych z Ministerstwem Spraw Wewnętrznych

In Poland, on the basis of archival law, some of the archives belong to the state network, but at the same time are beyond the supervision and control of the State Archives. These are the so-called separated archives in the Polish archival network. They were created after World War II and their existence is related to the communist system, when some ministries (especially the Ministry of Public Security, and then the Ministry of Internal Affairs) in the realities of the Polish People's Republic constituted a kind of state within the state. After the collapse of the communist rule, these archives not only were not subject to the control of the chief director of state archives, but their number was also expanded. Polish archivists realized the dysfunctionality of this situation. In the years 1970–1971, still in the reality of the Marxist dictatorship, the State Archives made the first attempt to gain control over the documents stored in the separated archives in the Polish archival network during the work on the new Act on National Archive Resources and Archives. This sparked a clash with the Ministry of Internal Affairs, which eventually blocked these activities. Based on the documents of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and scientific literature, the author presents the course of this clash, which took place under the guise of consulting theses and the draft of a new archival law.

The Evaluation of the Departmental Resources and Positions Within the Inter-Departmental Collaborative Networks: A Case Study on the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism in China.

This study examines the inter-departmental emergency response dynamics within China's Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism (JPCM). Departments' positions in the network are fundamental to understanding the overall structure and operation of the collaborative emergency response. Moreover, understanding the influence of departmental resources on departmental positions promotes efficient inter-departmental collaboration. The study uses regression analysis to empirically investigate the departmental resources to departments' participation in the JPCM collaboration. The independent variable adopts the departments' positions by statistically presenting the departments' centrality using social network analysis. The dependent variables employ departmental resources, including departmental duties, staffing levels, and approved annual budgets based on data from the government website. The result of social network analysis shows that in JPCM inter-departmental collaboration, the Ministry of Transport, Health Commission, Ministry of Public Security, Ministry of Emergency Management, Ministry of Culture and Tourism, Ministry of Education, and Development and Reform Commission are mainly involved. The regression analysis result indicates that the department's engagement in collaborative actions is determined and influenced by the department's statutory duties. The more statutory duties department has, the more it is in a critical position and role for JPCM. The study can assist emergency management practitioners and academic departments in utilizing evidence-based approaches to justify the collaboration and involvement of participating departments. The analysis of the collaborative networks considering JPCM in China by the participation and organization logic is of fundamental significance for arguing for complementing COVID emergency management and inter-departmental emergency collaboration studies.

Changes in China’s Policing: Organizational Structure and Daily Law Enforcement of Frontline Police

Abstract Since 2014, China's Ministry of Public Security has begun to reform the national police system, which involves internal command, criminal intelligence and welfare support systems. This research aims to explore how policing reform affects the daily law enforcement of frontline police officers and grassroot police units, and the views of frontline police officers on policing reform. The study also analyses the changes in the organisational structure of grassroot police units and the criminal intelligence system after the policing reform. The research methodology consisted of the researchers conducting a textual analysis of work reports issued by multiple local police units and reform reports in newspapers, and investigating the views of frontline police officers on policing reform. The study found that the reform did help enhance the law enforcement capabilities of grassroot police units and frontline police officers. Most frontline police officers additionally supported the policing reform. However, the policing reform has also led to issues such as the indiscriminate expansion of police power and the work pressure on frontline police officers. Finally, this study is an exploratory observation of China's national police system and can provide new insights into research on policing and the understanding of Chinese policing practices. It can additionally provide different countries with new information about policing reform.

In order to unify in the awareness and application of the law, the article exchanged some contents on the “organized” sign of crimes against on crimes of infringing upon national security.

Criminal law regulation of criminal acts involving COVID-19 epidemic

On the eve of the 2020 Spring Festival, the new coronavirus pneumonia broke out, normal social order was affected, and crimes involving the epidemic increased. On February 6, 2020, the Supreme People’s Court, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate, the Ministry of Public Security, and the Ministry of Justice jointly issued “Opinions on Punishment of Crimes Obstructing the Prevention and Control of the Novel Coronavirus Infection Pneumonia Epidemic According to Law”, which clearly stipulates nine types of crimes that hinder the prevention and control of the epidemic. In order to clarify and solve some outstanding problems of inconsistent understanding of the application of laws in the practice of epidemic prevention and control, the Supreme People’s Procuratorate selected cases that accounted for a large portion of cases, reflected many problems, and urgently required practical practices; they then issued ten batches of “Typical Cases of Crimes Obstructing the Prevention and Control of the New Coronary Pneumonia Epidemic by Procuratorial Organs across the Country”. This article is mainly based on the “Prosecutors across the country handle typical cases of crimes obstructing the prevention and control of the new crown pneumonia epidemic in accordance with the law”, analyzing economic and property crimes, crimes that disrupt the order of social management, and crimes that endanger public safety.

Research on the Application of Deep Learning in Automatic Vehicle

In recent years, various kinds of applications of artificial intelligence technology to the automatic driving vehicle were widely reported by the media, also aroused public interest. According to a survey by the Ministry of Public Security, there are more than 500 million motor vehicles in China in 2021 and more than 200 thousand traffic accidents occurred in 2021, which is a great challenge to traffic safety protection. Human reaction time, which consists of perception time and judgment time, is too long to take measures. Besides, human drivers may find it difficult to even make the right response in some complex road conditions. To improve this situation, the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) may transform the traditional passive safety that takes protective measures after accidents into active safety that focuses on prevention. Deep learning network receives information through the vehicle-loaded sensor then makes judgments by its computing unit and prompts drivers the possible danger. This article reviewed the performance of different deep learning models in autonomous driving vehicles.

Vietnam: Data Privacy in a Communist ASEAN State

Vietnam, a ‘socialist market economy’ under the firm control of the Community Party, had from 2006-14 gradually developed a range of data privacy protections in its e-commerce and consumer laws, to the level of the OECD Guidelines (or APEC Privacy Framework). The 2016 Law on Cyber-Information Security (CISL) expanded existing protections into the single most detailed set of data privacy principles in a Vietnamese law, but with its scope limited to commercial processing and only in ‘cyberspace’, so it was not comprehensive. Vietnam is now proposing to enact a comprehensive data privacy law for the first time. a draft Decree on Personal Data Protection (‘Decree’) released for public consultation by the Ministry of Public Security (MPS). This article analyses this proposed law by comparison with international standards, and previous Vietnamese practice. The Decree includes many of the requirements of the EU Data Protection Directive 1995, including some limits on automated processing, data minimisation, sensitive data protections, export limits based on the law of the recipient country, and individual access to the courts. In addition, the influences of the GDPR are seen in the inclusion of genetic and biometric data in sensitive data, and fines based on business turnover. Going beyond the GDPR is the inclusion of geographical location data in sensitive data. An innovation is that the law creates a Personal Data Protection Committee (PDPC), located within the Ministry of Public Security (MPS). The scope of the law is comprehensive, stating that it ‘applies to agencies, organizations and individuals related to personal data’, with some exceptions. The scope of the law extends to anyone ‘doing business in Vietnam’, not only those located in Vietnam. ‘Sensitive’ data is given a very extensive definition, important because sensitive personal data must be registered with the PDPC, which is of concern to foreign businesses, including because of doubts that the PDPC will be able to process the volume of applications in the 20 days specified. The proposed Decree has detailed baseline data export requirements for the first time, the complexity of which are also of concern to foreign businesses. The PDPC’s largely discretionary powers over the approval of processing sensitive data, and over personal data exports, make the proposed Decree potentially onerous for foreign companies.
