Modern American counterinsurgency doctrine and the roots behind it: an examination of how western nations fight insurgencies
No full textIn the past sixty years, western nations including the United States, France, and Great Britain have been involved in various counterinsurgency campaigns around the world. Despite America's experience in the Vietnam War and the lessons that France and Great Britain made available after their counterinsurgency campaigns of the 1950's and 1960's. The United States entered the 2003 Iraq War with no real counterinsurgency doctrine available. The main objective of the United States once the insurgency began was still of a conventional mindset. This capstone has tracked the shift in American military philosophy from a failing conventional mode of thinking to a successful thought out and implemented counterinsurgency doctrine under Gen. David Petraeus. FM 3-24 the new counterinsurgency manual for the United States Army and Marine Corps as well as "the surge" played a critical role in altering the outcome of the Iraq War. While the manual was written due to the Iraq War, this piece of doctrine inculcates the post colonial experiences of France and Great Britain. The authors took great care to construct the manual in a manner that will allow it to be used for future conflicts, because of this; FM 3-24 looks as if it is here to stay even after the current American conflicts in the region conclude.M.A.Includes bibliographical references (p.

Identification of author profiles through social networks
No full textThe aim of this paper is to compile dictionaries of slang words, abbreviations, contractions, and emoticons to help the pre-processing of texts published in social networks. The use of these dictionaries is intended to improve the results of the tasks related to data obtained from these platforms. Therefore, a hypothesis was evaluated in the task of identifying author profiles (author profiling).Silva, JesúsMaria Santodomingo, Nicolas EliasRomero, LigiaJorge, MarisolHerrera, MaritzaPineda Lezama, Omar Bonerg

No full textPresent address of Omar S. Khalil: School of Chemistry, Rutgers University New Brunswick, New Jersey, 08903.Author Institution: Coates Chemical Laboratories, Louisiana State UniversityAbsorption and luminescence spectra of N,N-dialkyl-p-cyanoanilines in a variety of solvents are reported. Evidences for ``dimer” and ``excimer” formation are provided and the anomalous luminescences of these molecules, which exhibits three distinctly-different fluorescence emissions and two very dissimilar phosphorescence processes, are interpreted
There and back again. Apollonios of Tyana's journey to India. A common sense itinerary?
No full textThe journey to India made by Apollonios of Tyana is possibly one of the most celebrated sections of Philostratos’ Life of Apollonius of Tyana (books 1 to 3). As the author states at the beginning of his work (1,3), the journeys and deeds of Apollonios were recorded by a man of Nineveh named Damis, who had become the pupil of the miracle worker and accompanied him in his peregrinations. Leaving aside the long-debated question of the authenticity of Damis’ account the present paper focuses on the itinerary of Apollonios in order to detect elements of common sense geography
Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy as a Treatment Method Against Anxiety Disorders and Depression : A Structured Literature Review
No full textMental illness is a growing global health problem affecting individuals and society. In Sweden, the number of people suffering from mental health illnesses, such as anxiety and depression, is increasing and is expected to be one of the largest public health challenges in 2030. As mental illness increases, the area also needs effective forms of treatment. This study aims to investigate if Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy (VRET) works as a treatment method for adults suffering from anxiety disorders and depression. A structured literature review based on 24 articles found in the databases PubMed, MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycInfo. Two reviewers independently reviewed and collectively extracted data from the included articles. The articles have been analyzed by using thematic analysis. The results suggest that Virtual reality exposure therapy can work as an effective treatment method for adults with anxiety disorders. It also indicates that VRET may act as a health-promoting intervention to reduce anxiety disorders, phobias, and depression symptoms. Virtual reality exposure therapy can be an effective treatment method and health-promoting effort against anxiety disorders in adults. An essential factor for the patients who accept VRET as a treatment is the initial information therapists give. CC BY-NC-ND 4.0© 2023 The Author(s).
