Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the life and work of a prominent, but now forgotten, Russian statistician and statesman A.M. Zolotarev (1853– 1912), who headed the Central Statistical Committee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 1904–1911. Based on the analysis of his works and on a number of historiographic publications, the image of the scientist who was at the origins of the formation of the course of military statistics in the military educational institutions of the country is recreated. His role in the teaching of military geography is shown. The paper covers his activities in the Central Statistical Committee: issuing of a new periodical statistical publication «Yearbook of Russia», attempts to reform state statistics undertaken in 1908. The article characterizes proposals of A.M. Zolotarev on reforming state statistics. The author argues that despite the fact that for a number of reasons, mostly objective, some conceptual ideas of A.M. Zolotarev about the organizational principles of Russian state statistics were not accepted at that time, his role in the development of the Russian state statistics and especially in the formation of military statistics is very significant.

Annotation. The article is devoted to the study of the peculiarities of the transformation of professionally important psychophysiological qualities of military pilots, practically healthy and with stage I hypertension (80 people). Statistical analysis of the data was performed using the methods of variation statistics, nonparametric statistics – correlation (Spearman’s correlation coefficient), cluster analysis (k-means method) using the software package STATISTICA 13.3. It has been established that hypertension affects the structure of correlations of psychophysiological functions of the body, which indicates a difference in the mechanisms of regulation of these functions during the development of the disease. It is shown that even healthy military pilots have different levels of mental capacity and can show their psychophysiological qualities in different ways, especially in extreme conditions. In addition, it was found that in the presence of hypertension in the body of a third of pilots show compensatory reactions to increase the activation of body functions, which, in turn, increases the physiological cost of professional activity, to reduce which must periodically apply treatment and rehabilitation measures.

Indien men de geschiedenis van de strafrechtelijke repressie van het Vlaamse activisme na de Eerste Wereldoorlog ten gronde wil bestuderen, moet men niet alleen de parlementaire verklaringen, de gerechtelijke statistieken en de kranten omrent die repressie raadplegen, maar vooral de gerechtelijke archieven uitpluizen die deze repressie heeft nagelaten. In dit artikel wordt dit voor de eerste keer gedaan voor de Vlaamse activisten die door de krijgsraad van het Groot Hoofdkwartier van het Leger werden veroordeeld. Die krijgsraad te velde kreeg tussen 19 november 1918 en 13 mei 1919 het monopolie van de bestraffing van zowel burgeractivisten als militaire activisten en behield dit monopolie tussen 14 mei 1919 en 30 september 1919 voor de militaire activisten. Na deze laatste datum werden de Vlaamse burgeractivisten vervolgd voor de provinciale Assisenhoven en de militaire activisten voor de provinciale krijgsraden.Het krijgsauditoraat van het Groot Hoofdkwartier vervolgde uiteindelijk 689 gewone burgers en 105 militairen voor (Vlaams en Waals) activisme (inbreuk op artikel 104, 115, lid 5 en 118bis van het Belgische strafwetboek). Hiervan moesten er zich uiteindelijk slechts drieëndertig Vlamingen (26 burgers en 7 militairen) verantwoorden voor de krijgsraad van het Groot Hoofdkwartier. Vier van hen werden vrijgesproken en negenentwintig tot een straf veroordeeld. De hoogste straf was een doodstraf, die in hoger beroep werd omgezet in een buitengewone hechtenis van twintig jaar. De laagste straf bestond uit een gevangenisstraf van twee jaar. Onder de veroordeelde burgers waren er twee die deel hadden uitgemaakt van de tweede Raad van Vlaanderen en twee die de Duitsers hadden benoemd in de door hen opgerichte Vlaamse administratie. Alle andere waren plaatselijke propagandisten van het Vlaamse activisme. De zeven militairen waren allen verdacht van activisme in het bezette België tijdens de zes laatste maanden van de oorlog. Drie van hen waren vanuit het Frontgebied naar het bezette gebied overgelopen en drie andere genoten van een vervroegde terugkeer uit een krijgsgevangenenkamp in Duitsland waar ze zich ook al maanden voor de Vlaamse zaak hadden ingezet.________The day of reckoning. Flemish activists court-martialled at the Main Headquarters of the Army (23 January until 30 June 1919)In order to carry out a thorough study of the history of the criminal repression of Flemish activism after the First World War, you need to consult not only the parliamentary declarations, the legal statistics and the newspapers on the subject, but more in particular research the court records reporting on that repression. This article is the first to study the Flemish activists who were sentenced by the court-martial at the Main Headquarters of the Army. From 19 November 1918 until 13 May 1919 that field court-martial was given the monopoly of prosecuting both civilian and military activists and it retained this monopoly for the prosecution of military activists between 14 May 1919 and 30 September 1919. After the latter date the Flemish civilian activists were prosecuted by the provincial Assize Courts and the military activists by the provincial court-martials. Eventually the military tribunal of the Main Headquarters prosecuted 689 civilians and 105 military on the basis of (Flemish and Walloon) activism (infringement of article 104, 115 paragraph 5 and 118bis of the Belgian Criminal Code). Finally only 33 Flemish (26 civilians and 7 military) had to account for their actions in front of the court-martial of the Main Headquarters. Four of them were acquitted and twenty-nine were sentenced. The most severe penalty was a death sentence, which was converted on appeal to an exceptional imprisonment of twenty years. The most lenient penalty was two years imprisonment. Two of the convicted civilians had been part of the Second Council of Flanders and two of them had been appointed by the Germans to be part of the Flemish administration they had established. All the others had been local propagandists of Flemish activism. The seven military had all been suspected of activism in occupied Belgium during the last six months of the war. Three of them had deserted from the Frontline to the occupied territory and three others had been granted an early return from a prisoner of war camp in Germany where they also had dedicated themselves for months to the Flemish cause.

Full textAbstract:
Military statistics and medical research were closely related over the 19th century. The army not only made use of these new forms of knowledge, but also provided an important institutional setting through the military medicine, which was of crucial importance to medical research in the 19th century. Besides that, Swiss military also played a crucial role in new geographical and geological research, resulting in a series of new mapping projects. This article looks on the ways, in which military context gained influence on scientific research practices in the second half of the 19th century, by analyzing the case of Heinrich Bircher’s work on military recruiting statistics and the endemic goiter. New mapping projects and statistical practices were linked, transforming big parts of the country into pathological spaces. Coming from this point, the article discusses in how far the military context lead to politicizing medical discourses and, furthermore, linked them to discourses of an anthropological crisis, common in many European countries.

Full textAbstract:
The principal threat most autocratic leaders face stems from within the regime. To control militaries and mitigate the risk of coups d’état, many autocratic leaders repeatedly purge strong officers from the military. What are the causes and consequences of such purges? Despite its importance, scholars rarely have studied the question, as they have lacked a systematic and comprehensive dataset. The Military Purges in Dictatorships (MPD) dataset contains information on the dates and characteristics of 1,007 military purges, and covers 566 political leaders in 116 authoritarian countries over the period 1965 to 2005. In this article, I describe MPD, compare it with other datasets, present descriptive statistics on the data, and suggest its applications. By coding the timing and various characteristics of military purges, MPD facilitates empirical study of the relationships between autocratic leaders and their militaries, and thus is useful for researchers studying political violence, repression, civil-military relations, coup-proofing, leader survival, and regime transition.

The article looks at how Soviet, Russian state statistics operated during the Great Patriotic War (1941-1945). Statistical activities within both the system of state structures, led by the Central Statistical Board of the USSR State Planning Committee, and departmental statistics, organized at that time in sectoral management structures – Narkomats (People’s Commissariats). The authors show how urgent mobilization of all the nation’s resources for needs of the front led to the changes in statistical work; this was primarily related to priorities of statistical observations and time frames of statistical works.The paper analyses main directions of statistical activity on the collection and processing of information on different levels of the managerial structure and at the industry level. The authors review all advances in statistics that happened in wartime conditions urgent censuses (surveys) and operational data transfer, a system of operational accounting.In a separate section of the article using archival sources, for the first time, are considered the problems of organizing statistical activities in Leningrad, the city that found itself in the blockade ring in 1941, and ways to solve them in extreme military conditions.

Full textAbstract:
The post-reform period in the Russian Empire laid down new principles for the organization and functioning of regional statistical services. Since the second half of the 19th century, the demand for statistical data had increased significantly. De jure and de facto, the Ural Statistical Committee dates back to 1896. Beginning in 1900, all military statistics were transferred to the committee. In connection with the increased load on the committee from the military capital, the regional statistical center was allocated an allowance of 1,500 rubles, and the total budget was 4,000 rubles. All the activities of the committee are represented by the implementation of mandatory statistical work and the socio-cultural study of the region. In 1901, the Ural Committee developed and introduced agricultural cards for collecting information about the industry under study and the systematic formation of data. In 1910, the committee conducted a survey of the property and occupations of the population. The Ural Statistical Committee paid special attention to “optional” works, most of which were devoted to the life and occupations of the population.

Australian Muslims rarely join the Australian Defence Force. There is no evidence this statistic is changing, no sign it is likely to change in the near future, and meanwhile the Australian Muslim population continues to grow faster than the general Australian population. If statistical trends continue, at best the situation will become far more noticeable, and at worst it will become an issue of national security and societal cohesion. This paper discusses the risks of long-term segregation of Australian Muslims from the nation’s defence forces, and considers them alongside the risks of acting to deliberately increase in numbers of Muslims serving in the ADF. Muslim jurists face a dilemma, where the scholar who is against Islamic service in the ADF risks being perceived as not supportive of Australia’s efforts to fight ISIS, et al, and the scholar who comes out in support of ADF service risks being perceived by their own community as endorsing Western imperialism and the collateral damage suffered by innocent Muslims in the same geographical areas. Similar dilemmas for ADF leadership also exist and are the cause of app

This article analyses the statistical procedures used in the proceedings of the one of the psychology conferences regularly organized in Romania. 111 papers in six branches of applied psychology were scrutinized. The analysis was structured on descriptive statistics (numerical and graphical), and inferential statistics (parametric and nonparametric). Was also pursued the extent to which papers complied with APA recommendations on the reporting of confidence limits and size effect. Results: 64.9% of the papers reported statistical results. The sections with more statistical based papers are military psychology (85.7%) and industrial-organizational psychology (84%). On the other hand, only 52.4% papers on educational psychology reported statistics procedures. The average of the reported samples was 190 subjects (minimum 10, maximum 1519). A percentage of 26.4% of works includes at least one statistical descriptive indicator, while 31.9% of works containing statistics, have no descriptive indicators. The graphics used are mostly bar and pie. Regarding inferential statistics, 47.2% of work contains at least one statistical test, and 36.1% have none statistical test. The most frequent utilized tests are Pearson r and t tests. It was recorded no single case of reporting effect sizes and confidence limits. Conclusions: The results allow us to appreciate that the papers presented at scientific events, most of them by young psychologists, contain a relative insufficiently matured statistical analysis, and often insufficient connected to the problem studied. We must appreciate, however, as positive the interest in empirical research and statistical analysis of results.

Purpose of the study To study the epidemiological aspects and features of the course of fungal infection in military personnel. Material and methods. Within 5 years, after applying for medical dermatological help to the Central Hospital of the Internal Troops, in the department of skin and venereal diseases, 250 military personnel aged 20 to 50 with fungal diseases were identified and involved in further research. Research methods: clinical, statistical, microscopic — detection of fungal infection. Statistical analysis of the research results was carried out using the STATISTICA system for Windows 7.0 and the SPSS program. Research results. The highest incidence of foot mycoses was found among the military personnel of the older age groups. Relatively less frequently, servicemen aged 20 to 29 were registered with the studied pathology in relation to the previous groups (12.9%). The age groups under 20 years old (1.2%) were the smallest in terms of the number of cases. Thus, the level of occurrence among military personnel of various nosological forms of dermatomycosis was determined (Figure 2). Almost a little more than half of the sample consisted of patients with dermatophytosis (B-35) in accordance with ICD-10, and superficial candidiasis of the skin and keratomycosis occurred in equal numbers of cases. Conclusions. Summarizing the above, we can conclude that the actual practice of registering fungal diseases in a certain group of military personnel has been studied. In the structure of dermatomycosis, mycoses of the feet were in the lead, the second place was occupied by dermatomycosis in the area of large folds, mycosis of the trunk. The frequency of various nosological forms of the studied pathology in the examined military personnel fluctuated within wide limits

Abstract Purpose of the study. To study the dynamics of the main causes of disability among the population of Zaporizhzhia region for 2013– 2018. Materials and methods. The materials of the study were statistical reports of medical and social expert commissions of Zaporizhzhia Region Center for Medical and Social Expertise for 2013–2018. Statistical data processing was performed with calculations of intensive indicators for 10 thousand of the total population and for 10 thousand of adult population of Zaporizhzhya region. Statistical processing of the study materials was using computer programs of the STATISTICA package (StatSoft Statistica v. 6.0). Results. The disability indicator can be considered as a reflection of the success of society, social protection and the level and quality of public health. The article analyzes the dynamics of causes of disability among the population of Zaporizhzhia region for 2013–2018 according to the annual reports of medical and social expert commissions. We conducted an analysis of the causes of disability among the population of Zaporizhzhia region for 2013–2018. The main causes of disability are: general illness; disability since childhood; industrial accident (occupational injury or other damage to health); occupational disease; diseases associated with exposure to radioactive radiation due to the Chornobyl disaster; injuries, injuries, injuries, illnesses in the military. Conclusions. The most common cause of disability is «common disease», which is established in the absence of grounds (evidence) for recognizing the presence of any other cause. In recent years, the population of Zaporizhzhia region has seen a gradual increase in primary disability due to general illness, work injury and among military personnel. At the same time, there is a tendency to decrease primary childhood disability and occupational diseases. During the indicated period (2013–2018), there has been a slight fluctuation in the disability indicators due to the Chornobyl disaster, both downward and upward, with an overall trend towards stability. Keywords: primary disability, causes of disability, general disease, childhood, work-related injury, occupational disease, consequences of the Chernobyl accident, military personnel.

Full textAbstract:
In “Genealogies of Calculation”, Miller and Napier (1993) engaged with the alternative boundaries of calculation beyond traditional accounting histories. This was justified because not all forms of calculation are to be found in accounting. The removal of this accounting limitation encouraged investigation into other calculative technologies in order to widen the accounting history agenda. This challenge is now taken up through the genealogical examination of the mutation of political arithmetic into statistics and then as accounting statistics as employed by the British military and its relationship with the British brewing industry. In particular, the focus is on the work of Colonel William Henry Sykes, a seminal member of the early Victorian Statistical Movement with his statistical accounting analysis of the British and French Armies of 1864 and later employment of this technique in the financial management of the Bass Rifle Volunteers.

Annotation. An important component of psychophysiological support of professional activity of flight crew is the diagnosis of their psychoemotional status. That is why the aim of the work was to identify the features of the psycho-emotional state of military and civilian pilots by comparative analysis of the results of assessing their personal qualities. For this purpose, psychological methods of research of semantic basic attitudes, responsibility and honesty are used. The survey covered 200 civilian and 100 military pilots. Statistical analysis of the results was performed using methods of descriptive statistics, implemented using the statistical package MS Exel. It is established that in terms of verbal and emotional dependence, dependence on achievements, demanding and responsible for themselves, all pilots have an adequate level of development. However, in terms of demanding others, only military pilots have adequate personality development. According to the characteristics of responsibility, its level is expressed inherent in civilian pilots, while the military have a situational manifestation. Assessing the processes of planning, organizing and performing professional duties (integrity) revealed that military pilots have a low self-esteem of their abilities, they are quite lazy, insecure. They are driven by spontaneity in making important decisions. Civilian pilots have a much higher level of self-esteem, confidence, concentration and ability to solve life’s problems. They are more careful and prudent when making responsible decisions. They clearly show a sense of moral and professional duty. Thus, it can be concluded that the identified features of the distribution of military and civilian pilots according to the level of development of personal qualities are primarily related to certain features of the nature of work and due to the peculiarities of military service. This situation requires the introduction of psychological methods for assessing the psycho-emotional state of flight crew during the implementation of psychophysiological support.

Full textAbstract:
The professional health of a serviceman is the absence of diseases in the presence of a certain level of compensatory and protective mechanisms that ensure high combat effectiveness in the conditions of his professional activity. That is why the most important component of the national security system of our country is the protection and strengthening of the health of military personnel. In recent years, armed conflict has continued in the east of Ukraine. Therefore, today’s urgent task is to study the features of comorbid diseases that may be primary to modern combat trauma in military personnel participating in the anti-terrorist operation / Joint Forces Operation (ATO / JFO). Comorbid diseases have a negative impact on the course of modern combat trauma, as well as combat trauma has a negative impact on the course of these diseases. The objective: to analyze the frequency of comorbid diseases in military personnel – participants in the ATO / JFO, depending on the presence of a closed craniocerebral injury (CTBI). Materials and methods. The study was performed in the Ukrainian Military Medical Academy based on the National Military Medical Clinical Center “Main Military Clinical Hospital” where 183 servicemen – participants of the ATO / JFO with arterial hypertension (AH) were examined. Patients were divided into two statistically homogeneous groups according to age: group I – 127 people who, while participating in the ATO / JFO, did not receive CTBI, group II – 56 people with such injury. Statistical analysis of the results was done by use of the standard statistical package STATISTICA 10.0 for Windows from StatSofr Inc. (USA) using parametric statistical methods. Results. In military personnel participating in the ATO/JFO, there was no correlation between the severity of hypertension and the presence of a cranio-cerebral injury. At the same time, in subjects with CTBI, there was an increase in the frequency of comorbid diseases of the nervous system and diseases of the ear and mammillary process and a decrease in the frequency of comorbid endocrine and metabolic diseases and diseases of the genitourinary system compared to patients without such an injury. Patients with CTBI have an increase in the frequency of acubarotrauma and sensorineural hearing loss and a decrease in the frequency of urolithiasis compared with military personnel without CTBI. Conclusions. The study established the features of comorbid diseases in military personnel – participants in modern military conflicts, depending on the presence of a closed craniocerebral injury. This information is important for the further medical and social rehabilitation and development of proper functional-organizational model of secondary prevention of this comorbid pathology in order to prolong the professional longevity of highly professional military personnel. It is necessary to study further the influence of organic (traumatic) brain lesions over time on the morphogenesis of arterial hypertension and comorbid diseases, and their combination in military personnel participating in the ATO/JFO.

Abstract Introduction South Korea maintains a mandatory military duty, and high percentage of conscript soldiers have difficulty adjusting to military life. The purpose of this study is to investigate the mediating effect of the stress response on the relationship between soldiers’ perceived stress and military life adjustment and to clarify the moderating effect of cohesion on this relationship. Materials and Methods The study’s participants were 285 Korean military soldiers who are obliged to serve in the military and they completed the Perceived Stress Scale, the Stress Response Scale, the Military Life Adjustment, and the Group Cohesion Scale. Analysis methods included descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, path analysis, bootstrapping, collinearity statistic, and hierarchical regression analysis. This research obtained the approval of the institutional review board of the university (HYI-18-229-1). Results First, a partial mediation effect of the stress response was found in the relationship between soldiers’ perceived stress and military life adjustment. That is, a high level of soldiers’ perceived stress was related to their military life maladjustment. Moreover, the greater the level of soldiers’ perceived stress, the greater the stress response, and, in turn, the greater the military life maladjustment. Second, we found the moderating effect of cohesion in the relationship between stress perception and military life adjustment. Conclusions The stress perceived by soldiers not only directly affects their military life adjustment but also indirectly affects their adjustment through the stress responses. In addition, soldiers’ levels of adjustment to military life change significantly based on cohesion levels only when they perceive less stress.

The aim of this article is to determine what conclusions the available sources allow us to make about the nature of Scottish service and sacrifice in the Great War. The article finds that contemporary sources do not lend themselves well to statistical analysis of Scotland's manpower contribution in the Great War. The lack of an agreed definition of who counted as a Scot makes establishing an exact number of Scottish war dead impossible. It establishes that in trying to quantify the Scottish manpower contribution historians have relied too heavily on statistics produced in the 1970s by Jay Winter, which, while broadly accurate, mask the nuances of armed forces recruitment in Scotland

Objective. Determining the risk of infectious complications in patients with non-hodgkin’s lymphomas (NМL) who received anti-CD20 monoclonal therapy and the effectiveness of intravenous immunoglobulin G (IgG) replacement therapy.
Materials and methods. A prospective analysis of data of 37 persons with NML who were treated in the hematology clinic of the National Military Medical Clinical Center “Main Military Clinical Hospital” from January to December 2019. Statistical data processing was performed using computer programs Microsoft Office Excel (2007) and statistical processing package Statistica 6.0 using the procedure 2×2 Tables (YI/VI/Phil, McNemar, Fisher Exact) module Nonparametric Statistics, which uses the analysis of a four-cell conjugation table.
Results and discussion. The mean age of patients was 56.5±1.4 years; 12 (32.43 %) were female patients. Baseline IgG levels before anti-CD20 monoclonal therapy were not determined in 17 (45.94 %) patients. Hypogammaglobulinemia was detected in 20 (54.05 %) subjects who were tested for IgG levels prior to anti-CD20 therapy. After administration of anti-CD20 monoclonal therapy, hypogammaglobulinemia worsened. There was an increase in severe infections after anti-CD20 therapy (from 9.4 to 40.7 %; p<0,001). An analysis of patient survival within 6 months of starting anti-CD20 monoclonal therapy revealed an increased mortality associated with an increase in age (hazard ratio (HR) 1.05; 95 % confidence interval (CI) 1.00-1.02; p<0.005), male (HR 1.12; 95 % CI 1.01-1.18; p<0.005), severe infectious complications (HR 5.18; 95 % CI 3.16-4,72; p<0.001). Only 10 (27.02 %) patients received IgG replacement therapy after anti-CD20 monoclonal therapy. Among these patients, a higher cumulative dose of immunoglobulin replacement therapy was associated with a reduced risk of serious infectious complications (HR 1.00; 95 % CI 0.98-1.02; p<0.005).
Conclusions. Monitoring of IgG levels both before and after rituximab therapy may allow for earlier identification of risk for developing significant infection and identify patients who may benefit from IgG replacement, which may in turn help to avoid excess morbidity and mortality.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the symptom severity and formation of professional burnout syndrome (PBS) in naval experts of different age groups.MATERIALS AND METHODS: 849 naval experts, aged 25–45 were examined. Based on generally accepted methods, there was the evaluation of professional burnout and stress, considering clinical-psychophysiological features of the respondents with a different severity level of symptom manifestation. Moreover, to assess the dynamics of professional burnout in naval experts, performing military service as part of Arctic division, subgroups by age were identified out of the total sample (N=127): the group of persons, performing military service as part of Arctic division aged 25–30 included 21 people (n1=21), aged 31–40–72 people (n2=72), aged 41–45–34 people (n3=34). Statistics: Statistic analysis of the data was conducted using the application package «STATISTICA 6.0» and spreadsheet Microsoft Excel-2010.RESULTS: The formation nature of PB syndrome in naval experts of different age showed that the persons, performing military service as part of Arctic division, aged 25–30, experienced a high rate of stress phase (68,1±7,9 points), indicating its formation, and 39,8±7,5 points in the resistance phase, indicating the process of this phase formation; yet there were normative values (28,4±5,1 points) on the exhaustion phase in this group of people. The naval experts, performing military service as part of Arctic division, aged 31–40, experienced a high rate of stress phase (72,8±7,9 points) and resistance phase (73,4±11,5 points), indicating their formation in the examined individuals; at the same time the indicators on the exhaustion phase did not overcome the normative values of 26,7±7,2 points. The naval experts, performing military service as part of Arctic division, aged 41–45, experienced average normative values on stress phase (25,9±3,8 points), resistance phase (23,9±3,9 points); yet there was formation of exhaustion phase (39,1±6,9 points).DISCUSSION: The analysis allowed to reveal age-sensitive formation of professional burnout syndrome. It is shown that individual manifestations of the syndrome form clear modal symptoms among different age groups. The specifics of neuropsychic disorders in naval experts of different age groups were identified.CONCLUSION: The data analysis allowed to conclude that prevention of PBS formation and its successful overcoming could largely be achieved by naval experts’ implementation of optimal strategies for coping with stress and using constructive and mature psychological defenses in their behavior.

Abstract The quality of life of military personnel represents their self-evaluation of the quality of their own mental and physical health, social relations, and the environment in which they live and work. The aim of our study was to evaluate the relationship between quality of life and anxiety levels in military personnel of the Serbian Armed Forces. The cross-sectional study included a total of 311 randomly selected professional military personnel (officers, non-commissioned officers and professional soldiers) between 23 and 53 years of age (mean, 35.3±7 years) without current mental health problems. For the purpose of this study, we used the World Health Organization Abbreviated Instrument for Quality of Life Assessment (WHOQOL-BREF) and the Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI). The statistical analysis included parametric and non-parametric descriptive statistics. Professional military personnel showed high satisfaction with their quality of life in the categories of social relations (82.52), psychological health (82.10) and physical health (81.68), while the satisfaction scores in the category environment category were the lowest (62.77). The average value for the total BAI score was 4.83±5.66. Quality of life decreased, while anxiety increased, with increasing age of the military personnel. Higher BREF score values were associated with lower scores on the BAI questionnaires in all subscales (p<0.001). Military personnel of the Serbian Armed Forces showed a high degree of satisfaction with their own quality of life. Learning techniques to easily overcome everyday stress would reducedreduce anxiety and improve the quality of life in military personnel of the Serbian Armed Forces.

Objective: to determine the prevalence of comorbidity in military personnel with coronary artery disease after acute myocardial infarction.Research materials. An analysis of medical records of the 83 military personnel who were hospitalized to the National Military Medical Clinical Center "Main Military Clinical Hospital" in 2016-2020 with acute myocardial infarction was carried out using the method of random sampling. All patients were male, aged from 22 to 60 years (mean age 48,5±4,35 years). To study the age characteristics of the comorbidity prevalence, all patients were divided into two groups: the 1st group with individuals of 50 years old and younger (41 patients, average age 42,9±6,15 years) and the 2nd group who is 50+ years old (42 patients, average age 54,0±2,54 years).Methods. of investigation are bibliographic, statistical, systematic approach and analysis. Statistical processing was carried out using the Microsoft Excel 2007 program and the standard statistical package STATISTICA 6.0.Results. We found a high prevalence of comorbidity in military personnel with coronary artery disease after acute myocardial infarction. Arterial hypertension has been diagnosed in 60,2±5,4% of military personnel (58,5±7,7% of patients in the 1st group and 64,3±7,4% in the 2nd group, p>0.05). Another comorbid cardiovascular disease has been identified: carotid artery stenosis in 60,2±5,4% of patients (56,1±7,8% and 54,8±7,7% in 1st and 2nd groups, at p>0.05); dyscirculatory encephalopathy of the I-II stages in 37,3±5,3% (4,4±6,7% and 50,0±7,7% in 1st and 2nd groups, respectively, at p<0,05); peripheral artery disease in 4,8±2,3% of military personnel (in 0 and 9,5±4,5%, respectively, at p<0,05). The most common comorbid diseases of the digestive system in patients were: non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in 16,9±4,1% (22,0±6.5% in 1st group and 11,9±4,9% in 2th group, at p>0.05), chronic gastroduodenitis in 21,7±4,5% (26,8±6,9% and 16,7±5,8%, respectively, at p>0,05), peptic ulcer disease in 20,5±4,4% (7,1±5,8% and 23,8±6,6%, respectively, at p>0.05), chronic pancreatitis in 19,3±4,3% (19,5±6,2% and 19,0±6,1%, respectively, at p>0.05), chronic cholecystitis – 18,1±4,2% (14,6±5,5% and 21,4±6,3%, respectively, at p>0.05). Obesity was determined in 36,1±5,3% of patients (48,8±7,8% of patients in the 1st group and 23,8±6,6% in the 2nd group, at p<0,05); type II diabetes – in 13,3±3,7% (7,3±4,1% and 19,0±6,1%, respectively, at p>0,05), thyroid diseases – 13,3±3,7% (12,2±5,1% and 11,9±4,9%, respectively, at p>0,05). Chronic kidney disease was determined in 6,0±2,6% of patients: 4,8±3,3% and 7,2±4,0%, respectively, at p>0,05. Osteochondrosis of the spine was detected in 30,1±5,0% of military personnel (24,9±6,8% and 35,7±7,4%, respectively, at p>0,05).Conclusions. Our study demonstrated a significant prevalence of comorbidity in military personnel with coronary artery disease after acute myocardial infarction: the most prevalent comorbidities were arterial hypertension, carotid artery stenosis, obesity, osteochondrosis of the spine, gastrointestinal disease, type II diabetes, which must be taken into account when developing individual treatment programs to increase the effectiveness of treatment and prevent complications.No statistically significant difference has been determined regarding the frequency of detection of most comorbid diseases in the age group younger than and older than 50 years; only cerebrovascular diseases with discirculatory encephalopathy and peripheral artery disease were more often (statistical significant) in military personnel older than 50 years.

Abstract Introduction The Defence Forces’ members are exposed to high-level noise that increases their risk of hearing loss (HL). Besides military noise, the other risk factors include age and gender, ototoxic chemicals, vibration, and chronic stress. The current study was designed to study the effects of personal, work conditions-related risk factors, and other health-related traits on the presence of hearing problems. Materials and Methods A cross-sectional study among active military service members was carried out. Altogether, 807 respondents completed a questionnaire about their health and personal and work-related risk factors in indoor and outdoor environments. The statistical analysis was performed using statistical package of social sciences (descriptive statistics) and R (correlation and regression analysis) software. Results Almost half of the active service members reported HL during their service period. The most important risk factors predicting HL in the military appeared to be age, gender, and service duration. Also, working in a noisy environment with exposure to technological, vehicle, and impulse noise shows a statistically significant effect on hearing health. Moreover, we could identify the effect of stress on tinnitus and HL during the service period. Most importantly, active service members not using hearing protectors, tend to have more tinnitus than those who use it. Conclusions The members of the Defence Forces experience noise from various sources, most of it resulting from outdoor activities. Personal and work conditions-related risk factors as well as stress increase the risk of hearing problems.

Introduction: The objective was to verify the relationship between anthropometric parameters and biomarkers associated with cardiometabolic diseases in military personnel. Methods: This is an analytical cross-sectional study, which involved 26 male Brazilian Army (EB) soldiers, with a mean age of 32.7 ± 2.12, physically active and from various EB military organizations. Serological clinical biomarkers were evaluated: glucose (GLUC), insulin (INSUL), triglyceride (TRIG), total cholesterol (TC) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL-c) and anthropometric variables obtained with a dual energy X-ray absorption densitometer (DXA) and body circumferences. The Shapiro-Wilk test and the Pearson correlation test were applied using the software Statistics® version 12.0. Results: Significant negative correlations between GLUC and lean mass (LM) (r = -0.46; p = 0.031) and fat-free mass (FFM) (r = -0.46; p = 0.032) and positive with the percentage of fat (%F) (r = 0.43; p = 0.043). Insulin (INSUL) showed positive correlations with fat mass (FM) (r = 0.52; p = 0.012); visceral adipose tissue (VAT) (r = 0.48; p = 0.024), waist circumference (WC) (r = 0.53; p = 0.01) and body mass index (BMI) (r = 0, 54; p = 0.009). The index of the model for assessing insulin homeostasis (HOMA-IR) showed positive correlations with %F (r = 0.44; p = 0.04), FM (r = 0.55; p = 0.007), VAT ( r = 0.52; p = 0.014), WC (r = 0.54; p = 0.01) and with the BMI (r = 0.52; p = 0.014). Conclusion: There was a positive association between variables representing insulin resistance and those related to body fat. In addition to negative correlations between GLUC and variables related to muscle mass.

Even though the subject of military service of Jews in the Lithuanian army in the years 1918 to 1940 is not completely new in historiography, many aspects hitherto covered in academic literature remain relevant to this day. The statistics for Jewish soldiers in the interwar Lithuanian army are without doubt one of those aspects. That is why in this article the aim is not just to identify the scale of participation by the Lithuanian army’s Jewish soldiers in the Lithuanian War of Liberation, but also to analyse statistical data relating to Jewish soldiers serving in the interwar Lithuanian army in peacetime.

Somalia has a long history of internally inspired terror mainly arising from the threat of terrorism that has threatened both domestic and international interests and has drawn increased military efforts from both African continent partners and China and the United States. The aim to investigate the strategies applied by AMISOM in military diplomacy in the Horn of Africa. The study adopted an exploratory and mixed methods research design. Mixed methods approach allows for investigation of a broader and complex research problem enabling the researcher to utilize more than one approach, both quantitative and qualitative approach of data collection. The study target population entailed AMISOM staff who relevant respondents provided sufficient information to answer the research questions. Currently, AMISOM has 22,000 military troops, 234 police officers and 81 civilians. Moreover, the study equally targeted the Somali civilian population since they were important stakeholders in providing information on the effectiveness of military diplomacy in the country. Thus, the target population comprised 22,315 AMISOM staff and civilian contingent. Out of these, the study sampled 100. Primary data was collected from study respondents by means of a research questionnaire and an interview schedule. The data analysis process involved both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Content analysis was mainly used to analyse the qualitative data and which would be reported normatively. Quantitative research findings were analysed and reported using descriptive statistics, tables, graphs, charts and inferential statistics in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v23). Moreover, the data analysis was structured objectively to address each of the study research questions. This study suffices to demonstrate that AMISOM involvement in Somalia as an act of military diplomacy occasioned by the need to foster peace and regional stability on the horn of Africa region. The study demonstrated AMISOM employs different military diplomacy strategies although at different capacities. From the foregoing, the study points to the need for restructuring of AMISOM’s peace and security architecture to bring out focus and responsiveness to the dynamic nature of the conflict and the enemy. The study recommends the need for further exploration into military diplomacy in Africa, especially given the dearth in empirical literature that is mainly from the West. Following this exploration of the role of military diplomacy in restoring peace and security in the horn of Africa, this study points to research gaps on the influence of civilian component in military diplomacy efforts on peace and security. Further there is need to understand the psychological effects in AMISOM troops participating in military diplomacy efforts in Somalia.

Abstract Introduction Having a mentor is associated with higher job satisfaction among U.S. physicians. The objective of this study was to assess satisfaction among military medical officers and to assess if mentorship and job satisfaction are associated with intention to continue military service. Materials and Methods This is a cross-sectional study using voluntary, anonymous data from 2018 Uniformed Services Academy of Family Physicians Annual Meeting registered attendees who completed an online Omnibus Survey. Outcome measures: satisfaction with work hours and workload; voice in organizational decision-making; amount of teaching, research, and other administrative tasks; being and having a mentor; and likelihood of remaining in the military beyond current service obligation. Statistical analysis: descriptive statistics, chi-square, and logistic regression. Results There was a 66% response rate (310/568) among registered attendees. Respondents reported being satisfied with work hours-workload (53.3%), voice in organizational decision-making (47.4%), and amount of teaching-research-other administrative tasks (55.7%). About 64.6% of respondents reported being a mentor, and 80.7% reported having a mentor. About 53.4% reported being likely/very likely to continue military service beyond their current service obligation. Adjustment for demographic and occupational factors, with significance defined as P ≤ 0.05, revealed that higher percent time in clinical care was negatively associated with satisfaction with voice in organizational decision-making; being a mentor and working in an academic practice setting were positively associated with satisfaction in amount of time with teaching, research, and administrative tasks; and having a mentor was the only factor associated with being likely/very likely to continue military service beyond current service obligation (odd ratio 3.9, 95% confidence interval 1.2–12.1). Conclusions Having a mentor was the only factor associated with intention to remain in the military among 2018 Uniformed Services Academy of Family Physicians Omnibus Survey respondents. These results support enhancing mentorship among military medical officers.

Relevance. It is noted that incidence of tuberculosis among population and the military increased with perfect regularity during wars and social upheaval. Therefore the health care system and the medical service of the Armed Forces of Russia should be ready for new challenges.Intention. To assess the characteristics of the course of tuberculosis in female servicemen and female members of military families, the specificity in the organization of specialized medical care for them and of treatment results.Methodology. According to the data of studied and analyzed medical documentation (medical histories, medical service reports), characteristic features of tuberculosis course in female servicemen and female members of military families (who were treated in tuberculosis military medical organization in the period of 2012 to 2021) have been revealed. The 1st group consisted of 62 female servicemen, the 2nd – of 63 female members of military families. Mathematical and statistical data processing was carried out using Statistica 22.0 application software packages.Results and Discussion. New cases of tuberculosis are detected among female military personnel every year. Statistically significant differences have been established in various age groups (p < 0.05), in groups with frequently detected disseminated tuberculosis (p < 0.05). Generalized forms of tuberculosis have been detected only in patients of the 2nd group; these patients were more often prescribed an individual course of treatment (p < 0.05). Tuberculosis pleurisy was significantly more common in 1st group (p < 0.05) due to the younger age of patients. Bacterial excretion was observed in 27.4 % of patients in 1st group and 34.9 % in 2nd group. The proportion of multidrug-resistant tuberculosis reached 9.7 %. As appears from the above, the patients of the 2nd group had clinically more severe forms of tuberculosis and the treatment have required more diagnostic effort and resources.Conclusion. Treatment efficacy in the 1st and 2nd groups was 100 and 93.7 %, respectively. Despite the effective course of treatment, 46.7 % of female servicemen cured of tuberculosis were subject to dismissal from the Russian Armed Forces.

Research of the relationship between economic growth and military expenditures has been one of the central issues in the economic debates since 1980s, but the theorists failed to come to consensus on this issue via empirical studies. Hence, studies of some statistical evidence suggest logical question: whether military expenditures contribute to economic growth, or on the contrary, economic growth enables to increase countries military spending? In this paper, we have analyzed the main economic thought school’s approaches to assessment of military expenditure impact on growth, in order to reveal the mechanisms of this impact. Then by statistical analysis we have found out how the relationship between military expenditure and GDP was manifested in Armenia. Based on the analysis results, we concluded that military expenditures haven’t stimulated GDP growth in Armenia.

Full textAbstract:
From 1867, the Russian Ministry of War began to regularly publish statistical studies about the most important European countries. It was assumed that these works would contain materials specifically selected for the Russian reader and will help Russian public to form their opinion about the situation in Europe. The first two studies on Austria-Hungary were published in 1867 (an anonymous section in the “Military Statistical Collection for 1868”) and in 1874 (the first part of the monograph “Austria-Hungary” by the officer of the General Staff A. F. Rittih). The article shows that these works have been unfairly forgotten. Although they are a compilation of foreign studies, they contain an amount of statistical data on the Military Frontier unique for the Russian historiography. Moreover, these studies reflected the position of the Ministry of War on the development prospects of the settled troops. The author shows that the description of Military Frontier at “Military Statistical Collection for 1868” conceptually recalls the report of the Russian military agent in Vienna, F. F. Tornau, later used by the officer of the Irregular Forces Department N. I. Krasnov to prepare a study on the prospects of the Russian Cossacks. In “Austria-Hungary” there is no separate description of the Military Frontier, which can be linked to the loss of interest in the Austrian experience in the Ministry of War.

Such a crisis phenomenon, with which Ukraine has been shaken for the rest time, has caused a lot of negative consequences. The demographic situation in Ukraine is turbulent with a lot of scientists and state leaders, by the way, is one of the most important problems of today. The rapidity of the number of people, the way of mass driving and temporary migration, the decrease in trivality and the hardness of life, the low level of nationality, all the traces of the war, the replication of such will be remembered. But we should signify that the very demographic crisis is an obstacle for the socio-economic development of all systems of the state, a threat to national security, as well as a threat to the development of international integration in the globalization of Ukraine. All the problems of the demographic crisis were foreseen by the statistical roses, as an effective tool for the identification of demographic transformation. Bringing demographic statistics up to international standards will allow us to establish economical barriers, create an international competitive market environment and protect national security. But on the face of it, the implementation of those appointed could be folded by the military camp of the state, and what is more important than the increase in mortality, migration and the loss of life. When the demographic crisis is observed in the wake of the full-scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine, the authors of the research have broken up the whiskers, which Ukraine is trying to overcome at the steepest camp. The consequences of the war on the side of demographic statistics will be irreversible, in the first place, it’s due to those who will go to war earlier, it’s a pity, less of the population will turn back from other lands, that hour will pass, people will step by step repair the regions of their lives. The onset of the last, a large-scale increase in the mortality rate among the young population, lads, as if fighting, it’s a pity that not all of them will turn back alive from the war, it’s immediately impacted by the nutrition of new generations. Based on the results of the follow-up, the authors discussed the theoretical basis for demographic statistics during the war. Current camp has become a way to analyze evidence in emigration and internal displacement. Directly further investigations would be able to show the expansion of mechanisms, as if they would help to mitigate the demographic impact on the economy of the country.

Full textAbstract:
The paper discusses the possibilities of objective assessment of military flight training quality based on statistical evaluation of pilot’s behavior models parameters. For these purposes, the pilots’ responses to non-standard flight situations were measured by using a fixed-base and a moving-base engineering flight simulator. Tens of military pilots at different training stages were tested. By exploiting real-life tests, we established that the given pilot models provide sufficiently accurate approximation of realistic human responses. Importantly, the models are relatively easy to use, and the individual parameters can be unambiguously interpreted, i.e., the time constants of the pilot behavior model are obtainable, representing the pilot’s current psychological and physiological state of mind. The parameters lay in the defined ranges, and they characterize the ability of the human/pilot to adapt to a controlled dynamic system. Consequently, a fundamental statistical analysis based on pilot’s behavioral model parameters was conducted, using the acquired test data representing the pilot’s behavior during repeated measuring. The initial results indicate the possibility to use the results for objective assessment the military flight training level.

Abstract Introduction The National Statistical Yearbook of Defense 2018 issued by the Republic of Korea (ROK) Ministry of National Defense reported that the number of patients using military hospitals steadily increased from 2008 to 2017. However, in the outpatient clinic statistics for years 2015–2017 from the ROK Armed Forces Medical Command, the amount of medical care received from some medical departments, such as the infection medicine, surgery, and anesthesiology departments, decreased. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to observe the differences in incidence of military personnel’s unmet healthcare needs according to number of diseases by type. Materials and Methods The study used data from the Military Health Survey, which was conducted from 2014 to 2015 and included 5162 responses from ROK military personnel. The number of diseases by type and unmet healthcare needs were self-reported. A multiple logistic regression analysis was used to examine the validity of the annual disease experience by type and correlations with unmet healthcare needs. Results Of the 5162 military personnel, 25.2% experienced unmet healthcare needs, and the more people with the number of disease by type, the more likely they were to experience unmet healthcare needs (1: 13.4%, 2: 22.9%, 3: 29.2%, 4: 34.5%, 5: 41.4%). The logistic regression analysis also revealed significant differences (1 = REF, 2 odds ratio (OR) = 1.83, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.50–2.24; 3 OR = 2.53, 95% CI: 2.05–3.11, 4 OR = 3.10, 95% CI = 2.49–3.85; ≥5 OR = 3.85, 95% CI = 3.08–4.81). In addition, subgroup analysis showed that female military personnel are more likely to experience unmet healthcare needs than are male military personnel. We have also confirmed that working areas and private insurance can affect unmet healthcare needs. Conclusion This study suggests that unmet healthcare needs are influenced by the number of disease by the type of ROK military personnel. It is therefore necessary to strive to reduce the number of military personnel who experience unmet healthcare needs through this data.

Full textAbstract:
Ukraine, as a democratic and independent state, chose its own path of development, sought to enter the global system of security and development, and unreasonably experienced Russian armed aggression. As a result of the war, the economy in the east and south of Ukraine has been destroyed, business is being moved and/or reduced, people are killed and forced to migrate. The consequences of this are a significant reduction in budget revenues, along with a significant increase in economic spending, especially defense spending. This prompted the Ukrainian government to seek international military and political assistance. The unity of the Ukrainian people and the defense and security forces of Ukraine became an irresistible force supported by Western partner countries. The driving force behind the transformation of Ukraine into the strongest state in Europe is the renewal of its military potential. Based on the facts and current statistics, the possibilities of updating the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the face of Russia's armed aggression are analyzed. This made it possible to state that international military-political assistance to Ukraine has become the determining direction for the renewal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and the formation of a powerful defense potential of our state, maintaining security and political stability in the world. The economic, military-scientific, social, moral-psychological (spiritual) directions of the renewal of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the conditions of Russia's armed aggression are singled out. At the same time, it is proposed to consider international military-political assistance to our country as the determining direction for updating the Armed Forces of Ukraine in war conditions. Based on statistical information, an analysis and ranking of partner countries was carried out depending on the size of their military assistance to Ukraine. The trend of providing military assistance to Ukraine by partner countries has been identified and clearly illustrated. The analysis showed that partner countries with a high level of GDP and defense spending did not always provide appropriate military assistance to Ukraine in the context of deterring Russia's military aggression.

Full textAbstract:
Introduction. The experience of awarding Red Army soldiers with valuable gifts and cash prizes in a difficult economic situation during the Civil War is analyzed. It is stated that the abolition of the award system of imperial Russia led to the need to introduce awards for Red Army soldiers and commanders simultaneously with the creation of the Red Army. Materials and Methods. The study involved collections of official documents, official statistics, as well as scientific literature. The study was based on the principles of historicism, objectivity and systematics. The need to process quantitative data led to the use of the statistical method. Results. To ensure the need of the army for awarding, the country’s leadership actively used the awarding of valuable gifts and monetary rewards of both individual military personnel and entire military formations (bonus with salaries of monetary allowance). It is noted that the award production was regulated by a single documentary base with the highest award of the republic – the Order of the Red Banner. Conclusions. It is stated that valuable gifts and cash prizes were the most massive material awards during the war. Due to the catastrophic situation with the financial system and material allowance, their rewards had a great motivational effect on the military.

Full textAbstract:
Objectives This study aimed to investigate the mediated moderation effect to confirm whether emotional intelligence moderates the effect of job stress on burnout among military officers by mediating effect of cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
Methods The Job Stress Scale, Exhaustion Scale, Cognitive Emotional Control Strategy Scale, and Emotional Intelligence Scale were all surveyed in this study. The data collected from 359 military executives was analyzed. SPSS/WIN 25.0 was used for basic statistical processing such as descriptive statistics and correlation analysis. And the statistical results of Hayes' (2018) model 15 analysis using SPSS PROCESS MACRO V3.4 were examined using a step-by-step approach suggested by Muller et al. (2005) to verify the mediated moderating effect.
Results In the relationship between job stress and burnout, the mediated moderating effect of emotional intelligence through the cognitive emotion regulation strategy was found to be significant. The moderating effect of emotional intelligence, in particular, was significant in the positive relationship between job stress and burnout. This moderating effect was confirmed through the mediation of cognitive emotion regulation strategies.
Conclusions These findings explain why there is a relatively weak link between job stress and burnout in the group with high emotional intelligence because cognitive emotion regulation mechanisms are employed. In other words, the employment of positive emotion management techniques lessens the impact of work stress under circumstances of high emotional intelligence. Burnout results from not using the proper emotion regulation mechanisms for job stress in low emotional intelligence environments. This implies that improving emotional intelligence through the use of adaptive cognitive emotion regulation mechanisms is required to lessen burnout among military officers brought on by job stress.

Introduction: Food safety is a key public health concern. Food handlers play an important role in ensuring food safety throughout the chain of preparation, storage and serving. Aim: To assess the food safety practice level among the food handlers of selected unit messes in Dhaka Cantonment. Methods: This descriptive cross sectional study was conducted among the food handlers of selected unit messes in Dhaka Cantonment from January 2013 to December 2013. A total of 133 food handlers were selected following convenient sampling technique. Data were collected by face to face interview using a predesigned semi-structured questionnaire and check list. All completed questionnaires were validated manually and data were analyzed with Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) verson 15.0 by using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: In this study, the food handlers had a mean age of 32.94 years; all were male and Muslim. Regarding educational qualification, majority (42.9%) were between class VI to X and 80.5% were married. The mean monthly income of the participants was taka 17,115.8 and 53.4% belonged to nuclear family. Majority (65.4%) of the participants were cook and 39.8% had family members between 4-5 persons. It was found that out of all food handlers 12% had good, 78.9% had average and 9.0% had poor food safety practice status. Descriptive statistics revealed that occupation, education and marital status played a major role for food safety practice level. Conclusion: Efforts need to be taken to improve the awareness among the food handlers. Safety practices and further studies are recommended on determinants of non-compliance to safety practices by the food handlers. JAFMC Bangladesh. Vol 15, No 1 (June) 2020: 65-68

Luiz da França Pinto Garcez, a representative nineteenth-century Brazilian general, was born in Lisbon in 1799, the son of General Luiz Paulino de Oliveira Pinto da França. His family migrated to Brazil in 1808 with João VI and in September, 1811 at the age of twelve, young Luiz joined the Bahia light infantry legion as a cadet, a position open to him because of his father's military rank. After obtaining a transfer to the First Cavalry Regiment in Rio de Janeiro in 1813, he received permission to enroll at the Royal Military Academy. His studies were interrupted four years later when he joined the government force sent to crush the 1817 Pernambuco revolt. For his services in that campaign, he was awarded the rank of lieutenant and, upon return to the imperial capital in 1819, he learned of his appointment as adjutant to the Inspector General of Cavalry and light Infantry in Bahia with the rank of captain.

Full textAbstract:
The world over, military diplomacy has not been always successful. This stems out of the fact that it could be faced by a plethora of challenges. This paper sets out to explore the key challenges facing AMISOM in military diplomacy in the Horn of Africa. The study adopted an exploratory and mixed methods research design. Data was obtained from a sample of 100 persons sampled from a population of 22,315 AMISOM Staff and Civilian contingent. The study employed a breadth of both primary and secondary sources for data collection. Primary data was being collected from study respondents by means of a research questionnaire and an interview schedule. The data analysis process involved both qualitative and quantitative techniques. Content analysis was mainly used to analyze the qualitative data and which would be reported normatively. Quantitative research findings were analyzed and reported using descriptive statistics, tables, graphs, charts and inferential statistics in Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS v23). Moreover, the data analysis was structured objectively to address each of the study research questions. The findings show that while competing interests may have clouded the scene at regional level, partly alluded to lack of a common approach to deal with the Somalia issue among the various countries, military diplomatic engagements by AMISOM are the most agreeable way to address regional peace and security. The study highlights the greater need for revised strategies in military diplomacy efforts and novel approaches to address competing interests among troop contributing countries that comprise AMISOM. Based on the study findings, the following recommendations were made. Arguably, the most important dimension of its success is hinged on the strategic unity and partnership of the different troops. At present however, the inconsistency in unity and strategic alliance among these countries continue to challenge the seamless command and probably influence the implementation of different military diplomacy strategies based on competing interests. Further, while assets remain a critical component of military diplomacy, the success of such multidimensional peace operations is equally anchored on a civilian component and the need for civilian capabilities. The realization of effective peacemaking and peacekeeping calls for efficient management structures at the field and in Addis for strategic and support of mission teams. AMISOM currently experiences an insufficient institutional capacity and human resources required to effectively handle complex peace operations and peacemaking initiatives. Recent assessment reveals the institution bureaucratic processes are still weak.
