The effect of Chinese moral and ethical education on relieving college students’ depression

BackgroundThis study explored the therapeutic effect of Chinese moral and ethical education combined with sertraline hydrochloride on college students’ depression. It is to find an economical, convenient, and efficient treatment to help students get rid of depression.MethodsIn a tertiary level hospital, 90 patients with depression who are studying in university were selected as the experimental subjects. The patients were randomly divided into combination group and drug group by computer. For patients in the drug group, one sertraline hydrochloride tablet was taken daily during the treatment period. For patients in the combination group, half an hour of Chinese moral and ethical education was conducted every day on the basis of the drug group. Before and after the experiment, the self-rating depression scale (SDS) was used to evaluate the treatment effect of depression in the combination group and drug group.ResultsBefore the experiment, the scores of the combination group and drug group were 68.42 ± 6.53 and 69.05 ± 4.49, respectively, with no significant difference (P > 0.05). After a period of treatment, the score of the combination group was significantly lower than that of the drug group (P < 0.05), as shown in Table 1.Table 1.Score of combination group and drug groupGroupTreatment time (months)Before treatment1234Combination group68.42±6.5361.55±4.0353.42±6.06*45.33±2.81*43.66±2.32*Drug group69.05±4.4965.46±6.7460.80±4.65*55.46±2.08*48.08±1.96*t0.1653.4017.6526.8536.866P>0.05<0.05<0.05<0.05<0.05Note: compared with before treatment in the group, *P<0.05ConclusionsIt can be seen from the existing reports that the current rate of college students suffering from depression is increasing year by year, which greatly affects the normal work and study of students. Therefore, the study used Chinese moral and ethical education combined with sertraline hydrochloride drug therapy to intervene the depressive symptoms of college students. The results showed that after a period of treatment, the score of the combination group was significantly lower than that of the drug group (P < 0.05). This shows that the treatment proposed by the study can effectively treat college students’ depression.AcknowledgementsThe research is supported by: Key Project of Social Science Funds of Liaoning Province, “Research on the Loyalty and Its Influencing Factors of the People’s Police” No. L17ASH001; Major Cultivation Project of Basic Scientific Research Funds of Central Universities “Research on the Status, Role and Realization Path of Ideological and Political Courses in Public Security Universities in” Political Police Building” No. 3242020019.

COMMUNITY POLICING AND EFFECTIVE POLICE-PUBLIC RELATIONS AS A PANACEA FOR KIDNAPPING AND HOSTAGE TAKING IN NIGERIA

Kidnapping and hostage taking for ransom has become ubiquitous in various parts of the society and it is now more prevalent in developing societies and these has led to a security gap which the culprits are taking advantage of in perfecting their crime. This gap could be as result of inefficient and ineffective strategy been adopted by the security agents. This has resulted to a security challenge to the country and has caused the economy to dwindle. Community policing is a strategy of policing that focuses on police building ties and working closely with members of the communities. It is a policy that requires police to inherit a proactive approach to address public safety concerns. The study was anchored on functionalist theory. Community policing creates partnerships between law enforcement agency and other organizations like government agencies, community members, nonprofit service providers, private businesses and the media. The media represent a powerful pattern by which the police can communicate with the community and that enhances a cordial police-public relations. Community policing recognizes that police cannot solve every public safety problem alone, so interactive partnerships are created. The police use the public for developing problem-solving solutions and generating information. The overall assessment of community oriented policing is positive, as both officers and community members attest to its effectiveness in reducing crime and raising the sense of security in a community. Community policing calls for long-term commitment and partnership between the Police-public in curbing kidnapping and other criminal activities. The study therefore recommends that community policing skills should be integrated into the training curricula of the Nigerian police force. All personnel must become skilled in the techniques of problem solving, motivating, and team-building. Training should involve the entire agency and should include civilian personnel who can enlist participation in community meetings, help the police organization sharpen its marketing message, and incorporate sophisticated technology into the organization’s service-oriented operations.

Visualising Order: Photography and the Production of the Colonial Police in India

Stationed in cities, towns and villages across the Indian subcontinent, the colonial police were a ubiquitous presence under the British Raj. Visuality was central to the policing project; the police’s effectiveness was predicated on colonial subjects’ recognition of police authority. Photographs of policepersons and police buildings, appearing in manuals, histories and memoirs, private albums, imperial educational propaganda and on postcards, testify to the pervasiveness of the policing institution within the colonial landscape and the institution’s commitment to visuality. The sheer volume of these photographs invites consideration. While existing scholarship on the colonial police and photography has largely focused on how the police harnessed the medium in their efforts to visualise colonial criminals, this article considers photography as a means of producing the police to make legible the imperial social order. Various photographs of policepersons and police buildings – mundane and propagandistic images when considered within the broader history of colonial Indian photography – index imperial interactions, revealing the visual language the police relied on to assert their authority.

On-grid Photovoltaic Power System for Governmental Office Electrification

Solar energy is one of the most promising renewable energy sources. The potential solar energy has a capacity to meet all energy requirements for human survival on planet earth. Some applications such as a thermoelectric generator, electric power generation with the assistance of solar panels and water applications are required to reduce the demand for electricity generated by conventional power plants. The current work evaluates the effectiveness of solar energy for supplying the police building located in Diyala, Iraq. The installed renewable power system consists of photovoltaic/ battery system set with grid connection installed on the roof of the building with a capacity of 5.52 kWp and battery unit (200 A, 48 Volt). Based on the daily average load kWh and daily average solar irradiance for the selected site (4.3 kWh/m2), the results of the energy generated by the system for two selected days showed that for a sunny day is about (11.63 kWh) and for party cloudy day is about (8.02 kWh). The average of energy fed to the grid for a sunny day was recorded more by more than 3.0 kWh and for party cloudy day by more than 4.0 kWh. The system installed at the first day of February of the year 2021. The obtained results encourage to install of photovoltaic systems in the selected site which can feed such facilities with renewable energy and deliver energy to the grid.

ЗАГРОЗА ЗЛОВЖИВАННЯ ЗАСТОСУВАННЯМ БЕЗПІЛОТНИХ ПОВІТРЯНИХ СУДЕН (НА ПРИКЛАДІ НАЦІОНАЛЬНОЇ ПОЛІЦІЇ УКРАЇНИ)

The article formulates a subjective view on the state of organization measures related to counteracting the threats of abuse of unmanned aircraft (on the example of the National Police of Ukraine). The author is a supporter of the legislative definition of the concept of unmanned aircraft as an aircraft designed to fly without a pilot on board, whose flight is controlled and control is carried out by a special control station located outside the aircraft. The types of unmanned aerial vehicles, the procedure for their use of airspace and its violation, the state of equipping the police with means of counteraction to such vessels, as well as the main methods and ways of counteracting them are considered. At the same time, the risk of abuse of the use of unmanned aircraft is proposed to be regarded as one of the dangers of a social nature, which is much more real than 10 years ago. Particular attention is paid to the lack of special methods to counteract this type of risk in the event of an attack on police buildings, special police stations, warehouses, archives, etc. It is stated that the current legislation contains a gap in the regulation of the organization of counteraction to the abuse of certain types of unmanned aircraft. Based on open sources, it is estimated that over the past 5 years including several state law enforcement and military institutions in Kyiv, Vinnytsia, Khmelnytsky, Rivne and Mykolayiv regions have necessary, experimental means of counteracting unmanned aerial vehicles. It is concluded that the state of the organization of anti-terrorist measures related to combating the risks of abuse of unmanned aerial vehicles requires in-depth study, legal and methodological regulation, as well as addressing the issue of revision of weapons and special equipment, approaches to protection of objects.

АКТУАЛЬНЫЕ ВОПРОСЫ ОБЕСПЕЧЕНИЯ СОХРАННОСТИ И РЕАЛИЗАЦИИ НЕЗАКОННО СРУБЛЕННОЙ ДРЕВЕСИНЫ – ВЕЩЕСТВЕННОГО ДОКАЗАТЕЛЬСТВА ПРИ ПРОИЗВОДСТВЕ ПО УГОЛОВНОМУ ДЕЛУ

Russia is the largest country in terms of forest area and diversity. The high liquidity of green gold, its demand on the market, especially internationally, the territorial extent, the low standard of living of the population, unemployment, contribute to the commission of crimes in the field of forest protection, among which illegal logging occupies the leading position. The adoption of strategic documents and the reform of sectoral legislation have contributed to the solution of not all problems in the sphere of forest protection and rational use of forests. Among the acute applied problems that arise in counteracting criminal encroachments on the preservation of forest and other plantations are the issues of securing and selling illegally cut timber. Thus, given the volume of illegally harvested timber, the funds received from its sale could "cover" government spending on reforestation activities. However, in practice, timber seized during criminal proceedings is sold at prices that differ significantly from the prices determined in the conclusions of experts who assessed it at the time of detection of the crime, or it is written off as illiquidity. This situation can be explained by the fact that, contrary to the provisions of the law of criminal procedure, which allows the sale of large-size physical evidence, the storage of which is difficult, at the stage of preliminary investigation, law enforcement "prefers" a sim-pler way - the resolution of this issue in the court verdict. The sluggishness of investigators leading criminal proceedings often results in timber being left at the crime scene or placed in open areas near police buildings without identification of those responsible for its preserva-tion. The lack of conditions to ensure the safety of timber results not only in its damage and deterioration, but also in its loss, including as a result of theft. Amendments to Resolution No. 21 of the Plenum of the Supreme Court of the RF, dated October 18, 2012 "On application by the courts of the legislation on liability for violations in the sphere of environmental protection and use of natural resources" would contribute to solu-tion of the above problems. In particular, it is necessary to draw the attention of law enforcers to the need to promptly take measures stipulated by law to ensure the preservation and sale of illegally harvested timber, conducting all the necessary investigative actions in relation to this material evidence in order to ensure evidentiary authenticity.

Architectural image of modern police buildings in the context of safe urban environment

The authors review the existing concepts of organizing the environment which prevents criminogenic phenomena occurrence. As a result, the authors draw a conclusion that a system approach towards the organization of public spaces is quite prospective while the combination of physical and social space in the context of safe territory is one of the main tasks for making up an architectural & construction object. The article considers the examples of foreign expertise in design and construction of the penitentiary system buildings. The analysis of the available information leads the authors to the conclusion that modern police buildings are characterized by the use of up-to-date technologies and materials, creative and visually attractive solutions, laconic and distinct structures, application of a proper landscape organization of external environment. Most of the considered examples reflect the idea of openness and transparency, the inclusion in the social environment and reliability and safety at the same time. The practical part presents a variant for the building of the police office (department) made with the consideration of the results of the approaches towards the formation of the architectural image of modern police buildings in the context of safe urban environment.

“The Unity of Moderate Moslems and Deradicalization Process in Indonesia”

Abstract: This paper, that would be presented in International Conference on Contemporary Perspectives of Social Science, Humanities, and Education, Dar El-Diafa, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt, 24-26 April 2018, begins with an understanding of Radicalism itself that is linked to the history of Islam, the history of human rights, and the actual issues that have occurred in the Middle East. The paper has an initial hypothesis that religious-based radicalism can only be terminated through the concept of the unity of moderate people, for example if the Radicalism is using Islam, so that the moderate moslems must be united to counter the radicalists. Therefore, this paper will be analyzed through primary data from peaceful verses of the Qur'an. To answer the religion-based thought, this paper is using the theory of Religious as Mobilization. In conclusion later, the speakers will speak about Deradicalization strategy to be implemented in Indonesia based on the spirit of moderate moslems in Indonesia. Deradicalization strategy is part of Indonesian national defense system since Bali Bombing 2002. Although officials had detected the links of terrorism, the action was happening again in the beginning of 2015 with Thamrin Bomb. The involvement of civilians to end terrorism link is regarded as important as officials and police officers, because the actors of bombing are civilians, and sometimes they had targeted police buildings. In principle, the unity of moderate people is regarded as the weapon to counter radicalists, especially if the moderate people are coming from the civilians, scholar, academicians, and other important sectors, because they can influence young generation to abort all radical ideology and can participate in national defense system itself to end radicalism thought in Indonesia.

رؤیة تحلیلیة للأمن المادی للمبانی الشرطیة فی مصر من الواجهة المعماریة

With the Egyptian ministry of Interior tightening the security procedures of the police buildings and exaggerating the design of these buildings physical security elements, the main features of cities and the urban nature of them were distorted; in addition the Ministry of Interior incurred heavy costs for insurance. Because the general impression is the low level of police buildings physical security, the familiar view of the mental image is typical and repetitive; this research came to analyze the physical security elements of those buildings in an attempt to change the philosophy of physical insurance for police buildings in Egypt. The research followed the comparative analytical approach in analyzing the physical security elements of local and international police buildings in accordance with the different variables surrounding each building, to identiy the various alternatives of the physical security elements and to prove that the physical security of police buildings in Egypt is not optimal and that they are just rigid templates apply standard criteria.

Tajne beogradske Glavnjače 20-ih godina XX veka - prilog proučavanju svakodnevnice Kraljevine Jugoslavije

The police building with the Belgrade City Administration, the notorious Glavnjača, was a symbol of repression and retribution against political opponents of the state regime in the Kingdom of Yugoslavia. The paper presents striking examples of dealing with non-political prisoners during the 1920s. Torture of persons with whom it was easy to identify, as they were part of the ordinary world, often attracted a lot of public attention. The case of Ljubica Ljubičić, a girl who died from the consequences of beatings in Glavnjača in 1924, filled the columns in the daily newspapers. Although the state showed unwillingness to deal with this issue during this period, Glavnjača issues have inspired engagement of various individuals and organizations, for example the Association of Belgrade Female Students.

The Green Electricity: The Potential of Using Solar Pv Panel for The Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) Building

As the year 2020 approaches, Malaysia aims to be self-sufficient and independence in finding resources to fuel its development, especially in energy sector. To achieve this aims, Malaysia need to strengthen its energy sustainability aspect and have a clear foresight in handling energy security issue. In coming decades, energy crisis due the existence of the significant energy threat may cause power interruptions and lead to many interrelated problems, especially safety and security issues. Issues such as unstable political and economic situation in Middle East country, Spratly issue, South China Sea territorial issue, war and terrorist may lead to unstable safety and security environment for Malaysia. The most significant organization to keep the safety and security of Malaysia is The Royal Malaysian Police (RMP). However, at the moment, this organization is fully-reliant on centralized electricity supply that may interrupt due to the future energy threat. Therefore, it is important for this organization to have an independence and self-sufficient electricity supply in order to remain their operation in any circumstances .The solar energy, through Photovoltaic (PV) panel, has been identified as the significant resources to achieve this purposes. With constant solar irradiance, Malaysia has great potential in solar energy harvesting. The energy is clean, environmental-friendly, reliable and readily-accessible throughout the year. This paper will review the potential of green electricity through solar PV in being the power supply for RMP in order to maintain the security and safety of Malaysia

A Museum to Remember

Opened in the British port of Southampton on the centennial of the sinking of the Titanic, the SeaCity Museum celebrates the city’s maritime heritage while commemorating that famous disaster. The project involved both the renovation of a historically protected court and police building and the construction of a modern extension that features three structurally independent segments, each designed to resemble a ship’s prow.

To 2012 and Beyond: International Assistance to Police and Security Sector Development in Timor‐Leste

The United Nations (UN) has now been involved in the (re)construction of Timor‐Leste's police force on two occasions. Although initially hailed as a success, in 2006 a serious security and governance crisis looked set to unravel the country's postindependence achievements, resulting in renewed international involvement in the security sector. However, many of the problems involved in constructing the Polícia Nacional Timor‐Leste (PNTL) the first time have been faithfully reproduced the second time. The mandate to reconstruct the PNTL in 2006 was an opportunity for the UN to salvage its reputation for a job done poorly the first time, yet the significant lack of capacity and relationship in both the UN and the Timor‐Leste government has meant little improvement in the PNTL. Arguably, the failure of the UN to construct a police force in Timor‐Leste has far broader implications in police building globally.

Transnational police building: critical lessons from Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands

In this paper we begin by defining and examining the concept of police building. Its historical precedents and contemporary forms are briefly reviewed, showing a variety of motives and agendas for this kind of institution building. We argue that police building has been a relatively neglected dimension of nation- and state-building exercises, despite its importance to functions of pacification and restoration of law and order. The emerging literature on international police reform and capacity building tends to adopt a narrow institutionalist and universalistic approach that does not take sufficient account of the politics of police building. This politics is multilayered and varies from the formal to the informal. Using two case studies focusing on events in 2006 in Timor-Leste and Solomon Islands, the reasons for the fragility of many current police-building projects are considered. In both cases, we argue, police capacity builders paid insufficient attention to the political architecture and milieu of public safety.

Cancer cluster among police detachment personnel

An apparent cancer cluster at a police detachment in a coastal British Columbia community was investigated. Police personnel suspected that the detachment building may have been a factor. Police personnel (20 current and 154 previous employees) associated with the detachment since 1963, the date of occupancy, were traced. After all 174 cases were contacted directly, or next of kin in case of death, a total of 16 cases of cancer or suspected cancers were reported. Of these 16, eight cases of cancer were confirmed through a cancer registry. Cancers included testicular, cervical, colon, skin (including melanoma), leukemias and lymphomas with an age range of diagnosis between 22 and 44 years. There was no evidence for an underlying event, factor or condition in the police building that could be attributed to the observed cancer cases. A possible association between these cancers and the use of police traffic radar is discussed.

An Address from Elsewhere

The ability to transport oneself imaginatively into a different world, into fictional worlds for example, is a distinctive privilege of all human beings. But those fictive worlds into which we so simply and playfully pass are spun out of our normal, daily experience. They operate as distortions of the familiar world, different arrangements of things, even if they should turn out to be fanciful images of the impressions and feelings we experience in real life. The first thing to be stated is that life under communism was not fiction. I do not mean that it was something particularly horrible, or unbearable. For the most part it was not, but it was different. Even good Western friends, German, French, British or Dutch, who visited us almost regularly from the early 1960s onward, oscillated between two opposite attitudes towards communism, both equally false. Some friends initially came with the conviction that they were just about to descend into a sort of earthly hell. They were terribly puzzled with their first impressions as they walked along our streets: people were walking, chatting, even laughing. They saw streetcars, shops, trees, beautiful ancient buildings, dirty trains, and passable restaurants that charged ridiculous prices. If it had not been for the banners hanging everywhere here a large red and yellow one with some battle-cry in an utterly unintelligible language, and there one hanging with a five-spiked red star or a sickle with hammer, our friends would not have believed they were in a communist country. After an exposure of several hours, visitors were prone to switch to the opposite blunder: to think it was a normal country. Some even thought of it as a paradise. There certainly were a few horrible places. There were the huge police buildings with their cellars underneath. There were concentration camps. And there were the uranium mines.1 But most of these places were cautiously and surreptitiously hidden, so that the majority of people living in our nation did not know of them. They were all the more hidden to an incidental tourist. To the more experienced among those of us who were natives, there was a measure of implicit, often repressed and unexpressed fear connected with the police buildings and cellars, the camps and the mines. Their existence was an invisible part of our quotidian life. Butthese sites did not constitute the most important part of the ordinary dailyness of most people's lives. Apart from incidents, more or less dramatic accidents, or direct conflicts with those in positions of power, the true burden of daily life under communism was its hopeless gray boredom, its absence of form-its shapelessness. Daily life was a space where nothing ever happened. Nothing could, even hypothetically, ever happen. Day after day, week after week, one identical year passed into another. It was as if the general entropy around us, the decline and dilapidation of public houses, streets and trains, measured the passing of time, a flow which lulled us into dreary exhaustion. Even official festivities, statutory holidays, or the yearly celebration of revolutions, only served to emphasize this tedious sameness, from one year to the next. In the end, history itself seemed to move by entropy and decay. Nevertheless, people had to live with decay. There grew up among us, particularly in the 1980s, a persistent and popular trend to adapt ourselves to our existing, tangible social conditions. Many people brought this art to a sophisticated level of strident virtuosity. This parody on the social contract consisted mostly in giving up all aims and hopes in the social and public world and restricting our activities to the private sphere. Weekends and holidays were spent at private cottages that served as an oasis from the dryness of daily life. The private sphere became a bizarre substitute for a full and creative life. Creativity and fullness was thus permitted and possible under the condition that these simulations would never grow over the frontiers of the private. …
