BORDER MANAGEMENT, ARMED BANDITRY AND TERRORISM MITIGATION IN NIGERIA by ODE AGI OKO

“…The study is concluded by recommending among others;  that the country should in fact evolve a sustainable border management, and social security system which will discourage public office holders from engaging in corrupt practices of sponsoring of banditry, kidnapping, e.t.c as economic gains, and with good information network sharing techniques, and by providing gainful employment opportunities to the citizenry of which will curb, reduce or eradicate the social habits of armed bandit, cross-border security challenge and mores as enshrined in the work. …”

An Active Inference Model of the Optimism Bias by Elizabeth L. Fisher, Christopher J. Whyte, Jakob Hohwy

“…Finally, we show how optimism affects action in a modified two-armed bandit task. Our model and the simulations it affords provide a computational basis for understanding how optimism bias may emerge, how it may be expressed in standard tasks used to assess optimism, and how it affects agents’ decision-making and actions; in combination, this provides a basis for future research on optimism as a mental health intervention.…”

Changes in the policy of the MIA of the USR SSR regarding the Ukrainian national liberation movement in march-june 1953 by V. A. Grechenko

“…As a result of the armed confrontation with the OUN in the western regions of Ukraine in the period from 1944 to 1953, 153,259 people were killed, 103,003 people were arrested, 65,895 families, a total of 203,737 people, were evicted from the western regions of the Ukrainian SSR as “bandit aids”.
