Vanity Saves Politician from Kidnapping

提示:巴西总统顾问Jose Genoino在公众前亮相之前,有梳头的习惯。在最近一次参加访谈节目之前,Jose Genoino回公寓取梳子,就在此刻,他的驾驶员和助手被绑架,遭抢劫。因此,就有了现在的标题。标题中出现的名词Vanity值得读者咀嚼。vanity的以下例证可帮助我们理解和翻译此短文的标题。vanitypress[publisher](为作者自费印书的出版社);vanity table(梳妆台);The girl’svanity surprised me.(这个女孩子的虚荣心使我吃惊。)

Survival after Sexual Violence and Genocide: Trauma and Healing for Yazidi Women in Northern Iraq

Introduction: In August 2014, the Yazidi community of Sinjar, in the Nineveh Governorate of Northern Iraq, was brutally targeted by the so-called Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) for annihilation through murder, torture, and the systematic and premeditated use of rape and sexual slavery of Yazidi women. In 2016, the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights concluded that ISIS was committing genocide, crimes against humanity, and war crimes against Yazidis. Methods: Using current international literature, which includes reviews, qualitative interviews of survivors, and reports from medical and humanitarian actors, this paper explores the short and potentially long-term physical and mental health consequences of the extreme physical and sexual violence and atrocities perpetrated against Yazidi women. Results: Yazidi women survivors of kidnapping, sex slavery, and rape experienced significant levels of physical ailments, chronic pain, and mental health conditions. All women reported feelings of guilt, stress, insomnia, and severe flashbacks. The incidence of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) ranged from 42% to 90%. Sixty-seven percent suffered from a somatoform disorder, 53% had depression, 39% experienced anxiety, and 28% suffered from dissociation. Conclusions: Sexual violence against women is a common tool systematically employed during wars and genocide. In recent ISIS attacks, intentional perpetration of mass rapes of women and execution of men was a strategy to destroy an entire population. PTSD and depression are common after traumatic stress. For disaster responders and humanitarian workers, training and education to understand, try to prevent, and plan for interventions when gender-based violence and sexual exploitation occurs must become a mandatory part of emergency preparedness.

A practical self-localization scheme for mobile robots using sonar sensors

A practical serf-localization scheme for mobile robots is proposed and implemented by utilizing sonar sensors. Specifically, the localization problem is solved by employing Monte Carlo method with a new mechanism proposed to calculate the samples＇ weights; the convergence and veracity of the sample set are guaranteed by the designed resampling and scattering process. The proposed serf-localization algorithm is fully implemented on a specific mobile robot system, and experimental results illustrate that it provides an efficient solution for the kidnapped problem.
