Unique unto itself: The records of the Federal Bureau of Investigation 1908 to 1945     

John F. Fox Jr. 《Journal of Government Information》2004,30(4):470-481

This paper addresses several misunderstandings about the nature of the FBI's Central Records System. Although depicted in popular culture and much of FBI historiography as a tool for the Cold War suppression of American radicals, the FBI's records system grew out of Department of Justice systems already in place before J. Edgar Hoover became Director in 1924. The system grew in size and complexity according to the demands placed on it by the changing priorities of the FBI's criminal and intelligence missions, guided by a “progressive” drive for efficiency through centralization.  相似文献

两次世界大战前后的亚欧关系探析     

余建华 《历史教学问题》2005,(2):4-8

20世纪初叶“亚洲的觉醒”革命风暴作为现代亚洲民族解放运动的序曲 ,对亚欧之间殖民地 (附庸国 )与宗主国的依附关系形成强有力冲击。两次世界大战更是对亚欧关系的演变产生决定性影响。如果说第一次世界大战大大削弱了欧洲对其亚洲殖民地的控制 ,那么第二次世界大战则成为欧洲殖民体系崩溃、亚洲民族新生的历史催化剂 ,使亚欧之间的不平等关系发生了根本性改变。此外二战期间亚欧大陆两端人民在反法西斯斗争中同仇敌忾、互助合作 ,则成为该时期亚欧关系的主要内容。  相似文献   

浅析美国第二次世界大战残疾退伍军人福利政策     

曹景文 《遵义师范学院学报》2011,13(4):8-11,15

美国退伍军人是一个庞大的特殊群体,残疾退伍军人则是特殊中的特殊。在既享受国家基本退伍福利的同时,二战残疾退伍军人还享受针对身体残疾设计的收入维持性福利、就业优待、医疗福利和残疾辅助装备等福利政策。这些福利政策,既能维持竞争力受到损害后残疾退伍军人的生存,也能保证个人和家庭生活质量的不降低,有利于退伍军人身份的顺利转换,以及美国社会的稳定与发展。  相似文献   

Enhanced teaching and student learning through a simulator-based course in chemical unit operations design     

Nayef Ghasem 《European Journal of Engineering Education》2016,41(4):455-467

This paper illustrates a teaching technique used in computer applications in chemical engineering employed for designing various unit operation processes, where the students learn about unit operations by designing them. The aim of the course is not to teach design, but rather to teach the fundamentals and the function of unit operation processes through simulators. A case study presenting the teaching method was evaluated using student surveys and faculty assessments, which were designed to measure the quality and effectiveness of the teaching method. The results of the questionnaire conclusively demonstrate that this method is an extremely efficient way of teaching a simulator-based course. In addition to that, this teaching method can easily be generalised and used in other courses. A student's final mark is determined by a combination of in-class assessments conducted based on cooperative and peer learning, progress tests and a final exam. Results revealed that peer learning can improve the overall quality of student learning and enhance student understanding.  相似文献

针对电子类课程体系中的不足,提出了EDA技术与专业课程融合教学的思想。EDA技术以Multisim,MaxplusII,Protus和Protel为核心,实现了与理论课、课程实训和综合实训的有机融合,既发挥了EDA技术的新颖性、实用性和可操作性的优点,又弥补了专业课程中教师教和学生学都困难的不足。  相似文献   

1966年军事政变与乌干达民族国家的发展     

王涛 《湖州职业技术学院学报》2011,9(2):49-52

乌干达独立以来军事政变频发。1966年军事政变是乌干达独立以来的第一次军事政变。这场政变虽然遏制了巴干达人的地方民族主义分裂倾向,维护了国家的统一;但政变也导致了国内民族间的矛盾,新的地方民主主义力量泛滥起来,为乌于达民族国家未来的发展埋下了隐患。  相似文献   

The Byzantines and Saladin: Some Further Arguments     

Savvas Neocleous 《Al-Masaq: Islam & the Medieval Mediterranean》2013,25(2):204-221

This is the second of two articles by the same author arguing against the thesis that there was a conspiracy between the Byzantine emperors and Saladin, sultan of Egypt and Syria, against the crusader states and the Third Crusade in the 1180s. While the focus of the first article was primarily on the Latin sources, the present study shifts the focus to the Arabic primary material, hitherto largely neglected or inadequately treated by modern historians. Through a critical re-examination and re-interpretation of the Arabic sources, backed by the introduction and discussion of new Latin material when necessary, this article presents expanded arguments on the relations between the Byzantine Empire, the Sultanate of Konya and Saladin in the 1180s. The conclusions lend further support to the view that the Byzantine rulers and Saladin never concluded an alliance against the Latin settlers of Outremer and the Third Crusade.  相似文献   

The Joint Establishment of the World Federation of Scientific Workers and of UNESCO After World War II     

Patrick Petitjean 《Minerva》2008,46(2):247-270

The World Federation of Scientific Workers (WFScW) and UNESCO share roots in the Social Relations of Science (SRS) movements and in the Franco-British scientific relations which developed in the 1930s. In this historical context (the Great Depression, the rise of Fascism and the Nazi use of science, the social and intellectual fascination for the USSR), a new model of scientific internationalism emerged, where science and politics mixed. Many progressive scientists were involved in the war efforts against Nazism, and tried to prolong their international commitments into peacetime. They contributed to the establishment of the WFScW and of UNESCO in 1945–1946. Neither the WFScW nor UNESCO succeeded in achieving their initial aims. Another world emerged from the immediate post-war years, but it was not the world fancied by the progressive scientists from the mould of scientific internationalism. The aim of this article is to follow the path from the Franco-British networks towards the establishment of the WFScW and UNESCO; from an ideological scientific internationalism towards practical projects. It is to understand how these two bodies came to embody two different scientific internationalisms during the Cold War.
