Confucian Authority and the Politics of Caring
Get PDFThis is an Accepted Manuscript of a book chapter published by Routledge/CRC Press in Political Theory on Death and Dying on September 6th, 2021, available online: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/edit/10.4324/9781003005384 It is inarguable that Confucianism is the most prominent intellectual tradition in Chinese civilization, whose earliest dynastic records stretch back to the Xia dynasty founded by three sage-kings: Yao, Shun, and Yu. Confucius was born in the state of Lu to a minor knight who in his old age took in a young maiden as his concubine. As a political philosophy, the teaching of Confucianism hinges on actualizing benevolent governance, which starts with the self-cultivation of a moral personhood at home; one’s sphere of moral influences is then concentrically radiated from one’s own family, community, state, to the world at large. This chapter offers a Confucian take on what constitutes a legitimate political authority and its accompanying obligations to care for its political constituents, especially the vulnerable—the young, the old, the sick, and the disabled—as a mitigating measure in shifting our attitude toward caring for others

Evaluation of Data Security Methods
Get PDFA student presentation to the Fall 2021 Student Research and Creative Works SymposiumWe are living in an age of data where the information stored on computerized systems is our most valuable asset. This study emphasizes the importance of applicable regulations, standards, and frameworks that impact organizational security posture and related domains. It also provides a primer on basic data security themes to inform readers of the ever-changing IT threat landscape, the current state of security regarding data and technology, and the ongoing cybersecurity efforts in information security management. In an effort to develop strong cyber resilience, the primary objective of this study is to identify and evaluate best practice for the security of data stored on information systems. The Evaluation of Data Security Methods project will identify the top three most effective threats and vulnerabilities to information systems and information systems security, to provide the building blocks required for a comprehensive, quantifiable assessment into increasing organizational security posture and reducing security risks
Hawaiian hoary bat acoustic surveys on Marine Corps Base Hawaii, 2019-2021
No full textAdobe pdfThe endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus semotus, Vespertilionidae, also known as Aeorestes semotus and ‘ōpe‘ape‘a) occurs on all the principal volcanic islands in Hawai‘i. Advances in acoustic bat monitoring techniques have contributed to the body of knowledge of bat activity and behavior in many areas of the State of Hawai‘i; however, there is still much that is unknown about the population and seasonal distribution of Hawaiian hoary bats on O‘ahu. A two-year acoustic survey for presence of Hawaiian hoary bats was conducted at 17 stations across four Marine Corps Base Hawaii (MCBH) properties on O‘ahu to document distribution, seasonal patterns, and foraging activity. Bats were confirmed present at all properties; MCBH Kaneohe Bay on Mōkapu Peninsula, Marine Corps Training Area Bellows (MCTAB) in Waimanalo, Camp H M Smith in Halawa Heights, and Puuloa Range Training Facility (RTF) on the ‘Ewa coastal plain. Hawaiian hoary bats were recorded in airspace at all four properties during important periods of Hawaiian hoary bat life history, including periods of pregnancy, lactation, and pup fledging; however, overall presence was low. Foraging activity as identified from characteristic feeding buzzes was very rare and was recorded on only three nights over the entire study. Within-night bat detection pooled for all nights and stations at each property showed that bat activity was mostly confined to the first several hours of the night at MCBH Kaneohe Bay and Puuloa RTF, whereas bat activity was spread throughout the night at Camp H M Smith and MCTAB. Overall, detection frequency was low (year 1 = 0.009, year 2 = 0.007, average = 0.008) at the study sites on O‘ahu compared to results from acoustic monitoring studies on the islands of Maui and Hawai‘i. However, the low rate of bat presence on MCBH properties is consistent with recent studies at other locations on the Island of O‘ahu. Monitoring the seasonal presence and distribution of Hawaiian hoary bats on MCBH facilities, especially at forest and wetland habitats, could contribute to the broader scientific understanding of island-wide distribution and behavior on O‘ahu, which is essential for species recovery planning and implementation of best management practices
