Detecting Pickpocketing Gangs on Buses with Smart Card Data

Detecting pickpocketing gangs on buses is critical for safety and public security department. Knowing this both in real time and from historical records would allow effective law enforcement and crime prevention. However, very little research has been devoted into identifying pickpocketing gangs in an automated and holistic manner. This research utilizes smart card data generated by bus riders to identify pickpocketing gangs, who possess distinct characteristics from regular passengers. Particularly, we create a dataset of 1,098 pickpockets among 4.06 million bus riders in August, 2015 in Beijing automatically and efficiently based on an efficient labeling model of outliers. This model examines anomaly of passengers using the so-called relative outlier cluster factor and local outlier factor. The proposed mobility patterns of pickpockets are then learned based on supervised classification. Pickpockets from the derived dataset form a pickpocketing network, which is modeled as a graph with vertices denoted as discrete pickpockets, and edge weight quantified by a combined similarity on mobility pattern, space and time. A graphbased Louvain algorithm is adopted to detect pickpocketing gangs. Experiments are conducted on SINA microblog data to verify the detected pickpocketing gangs identified by the proposed framework. Results show that the framework detects 63 pickpocketing gangs and verifies 34 gangs by microblogs, with recall value 0.85. Findings from this research can assist police and public safety departments in the city in taking pro-active actions to track down pickpocketing gangs.

Displaced persons, returnees and ‘unsuitables’: the Dutch selection of DPs (1945–1951)

AbstractAfter the Second World War, Dutch authorities allowed 8,000 displaced persons (DPs) to come to the Netherlands, but only 3,904 came, and 25 per cent of them returned to camp life in Germany. This article seeks to explain why debates on the DP issue changed so rapidly within a short period of time. In earlier publications, it has been claimed that ‘selling’ DPs as workers helped to solve the DP issue. This strategy did not work for the Netherlands. This article analyses how the DP issue was framed by organisations, the Dutch government, civil servants, the Dutch Homeland Security Department, newspapers and employers.

ANTHROPOMETRIC AND PHYSIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF INSTITUTION-BASED SECURITY PERSONNEL IN NIGERIA

This study investigated the anthropometric and physiological characteristics of institution-based security personnel in Nigeria. The study adopted a descriptive survey research design. The population for the study were the male security personnel of the Obafemi Awolowo University (OAU), Ile-Ife, Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex (OAUTHC), Ile-Ife and Wesley-Guild Hospital (WGH), Ilesa, Osun State. Sample comprised sixty middle-aged volunteers drawn from the Security Departments of the three institutions. Inclusion criteria for the study was passing a preliminary health screening for cardiovascular disease risk factors. Anthropometric parameters were measured in line with the International Society for the Advancement of Kinanthropometry (ISAK)’s protocol. Participants’ weight and height were measured with an Electronic BMI scale and blood pressure was recorded using Aneroid sphygmomanometer. Participants’ VO 2 max was estimated from the Cooper 12-minutes run/walk test. Data was recorded in a structured data sheet. Descriptive statistics of mean and standard deviations was used to analyse data. The results showed that the mean age of security personnel in the study was 41.7 ± 5.749, while their mean height and weight were 171.0 ± 7.353 and 69.2 ± 7.322 respectively. The mean of personnel’s waist and hip circumferences were 40.68 ± 3.968 and 46.68 ± 2.813 respectively. The mean of skinfolds (Ʃ4 Skf), percent body fat, waist-to-hip ratio, and BMI of security personnel were 50.03 ± 15.797, 22.37 ± 5.175, 0.87 ± 0.062 and 23.66 ± 2.386 respectively. Their mean resting heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and VO 2 max were 63.77 ± 8.77, 119.42 ± 9.30, 80.17 ± 8.54 and 43.95 ± 43.95 respectively. The study concluded that institution-based security personnel are similar to the civilian population in terms of anthropometric and physiological characteristics. Article visualizations:

Политическая полиция конца XIX – начала ХХ вв. и «революция»: игра понятием или реальная угроза?

This article is concerned with the interpretation of the concept of revolution by various structures of the political police of the Russian Empire of the late 19th – early 20th centuries (Department of police, security departments, provincial gendarmerie management) — the union of state institutions which had to fight the revolution. In the frames of the history of concepts developed by R. Kozellek, attention is drawn to the fact that the revolution alike the concepts of troubles, revolt, uprising, and civil war is aiming at changing of the state system, on fundamental transformations in the political system of the country. The theoretical framework for the explication of this approach to the records of political investigation is the concept of evidence paradigm proposed by K. Ginzburg to describe the process of the formation of state control over society in the European countries of the period of becoming Modern. According to the officials of the political police of the Russian Empire, revolutionaries were those who aimed to overthrow the existing system; those who belonged to the underground resistance. But they were not those who did the most for the benefit of the revolution on an all-Russian scale — not compared to the socio-political groups that existed in the legal space and had access to the publicity. At the same time, gendarmes regarded everyone, who did not consider himself an ohranitel (Russian for conservator) as a representative of revolutionary legal socio-political forces. The Police Department of Russia regarded not only underground revolutionaries themselves to be a revolutionary threat, but also the radicals, the opposition members, and the radical liberals; liberals in general, though, were not considered to be the agents of the revolution. Two images of revolution, which were formed within the system of the political police, in general correspond with the two concepts of revolution, described by R. Kozellek. In the first, which is chronologically younger, revolution is considered to be an exclusively political phenomenon concerned with the change of the bases of a state system (which actually occurred in 1905). The second image of the revolution, which originated in Europe in the middle of the 19th century, suggested the distinction of political revolution (i.e. one that is concerned with the state-civil, constitutional and legal side) and social revolution (concerned with the society). Analysis of the correspondence of the political investigation forces of the Russian Empire at the turn of the 19th-20th centuries shows that this image of the revolution resonated with the leadership of the political police (i.e. the officials of the Department of police) by the beginning of the 20th century. In this sense, the events of the revolutionary 1905 year had primary importance for them not so much in terms of changes in the state system (as it was for the gendarmes), but as an inevitable reflection of the transformational processes that took place in the Russian society.

'Modernization of Our Hospital System': The National Health Service, the Hospital Plan, and the 'Harness' Programme, 1962-77.

This article augments the literature on the British experience of planning by examining attempts to plan the hospital system between 1962 and 1977. The Hospital Plan for England and Wales of 1962 proposed the construction of a suite of new 'District General Hospitals'. Underpinning this proposal was a belief in the value of standardized designs and construction methods, both of which were subsequently investigated in detail by the Ministry of Health and the Department of Health and Social Security (DHSS). The history of this project reveals the challenges of putting centralized planning into practice. Yet while the standardization programme was scaled back in 1975, the article suggests that the drive to 'plan' modern Britain perhaps lasted longer than might initially be thought, into the 1980s, with implications for the way that the broader history of this period is framed.

Study on the establishment of disaster information and rescue network

Through analyzing the extant problems and application demand in disaster rescue, the realized idea and the overall function request of the disaster rescue information web platform was proposed. It gives emphasis to the overall frame, the key point and the major function. The information web platform composed by a single command center, integrates first aid, fire, public security and transportation departments into a unified system, using network communication technology, which can help realize the cooperation between different emergency teams. This new model can stimulate multiple departments to act together in the first time, filter the personnel and institutions involved in the rescue more intelligently, configure human resources to match the disaster level automatically, and realize the transformation between normal and natural disasters successfully on the same platform. The realization of the platform provides effective, efficient and timely joint action to further improve disaster rescue emergency response capacity. Key words: Disaster relief; Information platform; Emergency command; Multi-sector integration emergencyresponse

Study on the Reduced Traffic Congestion Method Based on Dynamic Guidance Information**Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grant Nos. 71471104, 71771019, 71571109, and 71471167; The University Science and Technology Program Funding Projects of Shandong Province under Grant No. J17KA211; The Project of Public Security Department of Shandong Province under Grant No. GATHT2015-236; The Major Social and Livelihood

This paper studies how to generate the reasonable information of travelers’ decision in real network. This problem is very complex because the travelers’ decision is constrained by different human behavior. The network conditions can be predicted by using the advanced dynamic OD (Origin-Destination, OD) estimation techniques. Based on the improved mesoscopic traffic model, the predictable dynamic traffic guidance information can be obtained accurately. A consistency algorithm is designed to investigate the travelers’ decision by simulating the dynamic response to guidance information. The simulation results show that the proposed method can provide the best guidance information. Further, a case study is conducted to verify the theoretical results and to draw managerial insights into the potential of dynamic guidance strategy in improving traffic performance.

Phase transition of a diblock copolymer and homopolymer hybrid system induced by different properties of nanorods**Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 21373131), the Provincial Natural Science Foundation of Shanxi, China (Grant No. 2015011004), and the Research Foundation for Excellent Talents of Shanxi Provincial Department of Human Resources and Social Security, China.

We investigated phase transitions in a diblock copolymer–homopolymer hybrid system blended with nanorods (NRs) by using the time-dependent Ginzburg–Landau theory. We systematically studied the effects of the number, length and infiltration properties of the NRs on the self-assembly of the composites and the phase transitions occurring in the material. An analysis of the phase diagram was carried out to obtain the formation conditions of sea island structure nanorodbased aggregate, sea island structure nanorod-based dispersion, lamellar structure nanorod-based multilayer arrangement and nanowire structure. Further analysis of the evolution of the domain sizes and the distribution of the nanorod angle microphase structure was performed. Our simulation provides theoretical guidance for the preparation of ordered nanowire structures and a reference to improve the function of a polymer nanocomposite material.

SINIS: A GQM+Strategies-based approach for identifying goals, strategies and indicators for IT services

ContextMeasurement is a key process to support organizations in managing and improving processes, products and services. The literature on IT (Information Technology) Service states that IT services should support critical business processes and should be measured in order to provide useful information for decision-making. However, there is a lack of clear guidance regarding what should be measured and which critical business processes should be considered. ObjectiveWe conducted this work aiming to answer the research question: How to support identification of IT service goals, strategies and indicators at different organizational levels and aligned to business goals? MethodWe defined SINIS, a method to identify Goals, Strategies and Indicators for IT Services, which has been developed to support IT service departments in identifying IT service goals, strategies and indicators to provide information for decision-making at different organizational levels and in alignment with business goals. SINIS supports defining strategies to achieve IT service goals, and identifying indicators to evaluate the strategies and goals achievement. SINIS is based on process improvement approaches (mainly GQM+Strategies) and approaches related to IT service management (mainly COBIT Goals Cascade) ResultsSINIS was used in a case study in the IT Infrastructure and IT Security departments of a large global company. Results showed that participants were able to build the GQM+Strategies Grid and discard useless indicators. In addition, team members became more devoted to measurement and strategies, and better understood relations between goals, strategies and indicators. Templates, examples and checklists useful to learn how to execute SINIS and to properly record the produced results were used by the study participants. ConclusionsInitial evidences show that SINIS supports building the GQM+Strategies Grid and helps IT service departments to define strategies and identify useful indicators, contributing to focus efforts on strategies aligned to IT service and business goals.

Determinants of effective outsourced private security services by commercial banks in Nairobi, Kenya

The study intended to examine the determinants of effective outsourced private security services by commercial banks in Nairobi, Kenya. The study aimed at exploring effectiveness of factors to consider, technology, relationship between vendor and other security stakeholders and challenges involved while procuring private security services to commercial banks. The study employed descriptive research design. The population of the study was 40 commercial banks in Kenya where a total population of 240 security officials employed in the security departments of the commercial banks was used. A sample of 150 respondents was picked. A questionnaire was used to collect primary data. Study results reveal that factors that the commercial bank considered before outsourcing private security services had a positive and significant effect on effectiveness of outsourced private security services by commercial banks. However, technology applied by the private security companies in providing security to commercial banks did not have a significant effect on effectiveness of outsourced private security services by commercial banks. Study findings further revealed that the relationship between the private security companies and other security stakeholders had a positive and significant effect on effectiveness of outsourced private security services by commercial banks. Additionally, study results show that challenges that emanate from outsourced private security services had a negative and significant effect on effectiveness of outsourced security services to commercial banks. The study recommends that the government should fast-track the private security regulations to enhance the quality and standard of private security services.

 Статья посвящена анализу роли употребления алкоголя в структуре факторов социального неблагополучия в старшем возрасте. Проанализированы социально-политические международные и российские документы, рассматривающие старение. Анализ показывает, при каких условиях быстро растущее население пожилого возраста может оставаться здоровым, что позволяет снизить нагрузку на системы здравоохранения, социального обеспечения и занятости населения. При этом особе внимание уделяется проблеме употребления алкоголя. Затем приводятся данные особенностей жизнеобеспечения 713 лиц пожилого и старческого возраста (от 60 до 89 лет) в Архангельской области. На основании исследования проведена оценка воздействия и последствий употребления алкоголя как выраженного дестабилизирующего механизма на социальные параметры жизни. Трудности адаптации респондентов прямо или косвенно связаны с ограничением деятельности, вызванным снижением или утратой трудоспособности, одиночеством, неадекватными социальными навыками, социальной изоляцией, недостатком физической активности, что нередко приводит к употреблению спиртных напитков, как средству «ухода» от накопившихся проблем. Одиночество, как проявление социальной изолированности, один из наиболее опасных факторов, стимулирующих лиц пожилого и старческого возраста прибегать к «допингу», в роли которого в большинстве случаев выступает алкоголь. Определена частота употребления спиртных напитков в зависимости от половозрастных характеристик и уровня образования; рассмотрены последствия потребления алкоголя лицами пожилого возраста в качестве факторов риска социального неблагополучия на макро-, микросоциальном и личностном уровнях. Полученные результаты могут быть использованы при актуализации региональных исследований по качеству жизни пожилого населения в регионах с высоким риском потребления алкогольных напитков, а также разработке программ социальной политики с учетом демографического развития и повышения доступности медицинской помощи лицам пожилого возраста.
