Commercial drone research takes off at VCU

As microprocessors and mounted cameras have become smaller, unmanned aerial vehicles, commonly known as drones, have skyrocketed in popularity. But UAVs aren’t just child’s play. Researchers at VCU say the devices could be used in a range of beneficial ways, from inspecting bridges and searching for lost hikers to shooting documentaries and surveying land

How do police brutality videos affect us?

Videos of encounters between police and citizens can be used to hold police accountable or determine whether officers’ actions were justified. But those videos and related comments on social media could cause viewers to experience stress and other emotions, says a researcher at VCU’s Robertson School of Media and Culture

Croissance de la population et stagnation de l’agriculture au Cambodge : essai sur les conditions permissives d’un processus révolutionnaire

La prise de conscience, chez les masses laborieuses, de la nécessité de la révolution, est une condition requise à la guerre révolutionnaire. Cette dernière constitue une étape bien déterminée dans le déroulement d'ensemble d'un processus révolutionnaire, mais non le processus lui-même. En effet, suivant la loi générale du passage de la quantité à la qualité, elle succède à une étape au contenu qualifié, ici. de conditions permissives. Il s'agit de contradictions secondaires et articulées sur la principale dont le développement ininterrompu permet au processus révolutionnaire de prendre son essor. Le présent article, explique les conditions permissives d'un processus révolutionnaire telles qu'elles se présentent dans le cas concret du Cambodge. Ces conditions sont liées à l'opposition entre la croissance de la population et la stagnation de l'agriculture.The realization on the part of the workers of the necessity of revolution is a condition pre-requisite to revolutionary war. Indeed. it constitutes a well-defined step in the unfolding of the total revolutionary process; it does not. however. constitute the process itself. In effect. following the general principle of passage from quantity to quality. the step of realization succeeds to a stage qualified by its content, that is to say characterized by conditions which one may call permissive i.e. conditions which permit or precipitate events. This means secondary and articulated contradictions based on the principal, the uninterrupted development of which permits the revolutionary process to take wing. The following article lays bare the permissive conditions of a revolutionary process as seen in a concrete example, namely that of Cambodia. These conditions are tied to the opposition between demographic growth and stagnation of agriculture

"If you keep your problems in your stomach the dogs cannot steal them" : trauma, forgiveness, and con-viviality in Rwanda : an ethnographic study following the healing and rebuilding our communities (HROC) project in Gisenyi, Rwanda

Includes abstract.Includes bibliographical references (leaves 75-79).By bringing together survivors of the genocide with released prisoners to discuss trauma, healing, and trust, Healing and Rebuilding Our Communities (HROC) in Rwanda may help people to broaden their networks of support and rebuild everyday life. ... After 1994, Rwandans, particularly in Gisenyi, found that many neighbours were strangers and members of "the other side". Few Rwandans are able to meet their daily needs without accessing relationships of reciprocity, so how are such relation- ships established after genocide? In this thesis I argue that restoring relationships of reciprocity is critical to the restoration of the everyday in Rwanda. The genocide in 1994 was unarguably a traumatic experience for the population in Rwanda, and it damaged common modes of social interaction. But for those I spoke to, forgiveness was important to the process of healing..
