Abstract:

The advent of internet, its confluence with Communication and Information Technology (C&IT) has given an exponential rise to generate waves of hyper information thus providing an opportunity to the enemies to launch transitional level of Fifth Generation Warfare (5GW) from various platforms. The present internet dominated age coupled with Mediasine qua non usage of deceitful information, baffled news and fabricated themes launched through hostile think tanks and hostile intelligence agencies through their spoofing agents under cover of Media imposters, Media Memes and scintillating campaigns with covert commercial clientele. Such slanderers aim to undermine State capacity and capability to act and react during odds/under tense situations. The enemy hired slanderers, their tittle tale imposters propagate the sugar coated lethal contents to the masses especially the youth has many varying dimension and blatant angles corroborated into 5GW

Abstract:

The years surrounding the origins of the term “Manifest Destiny” were a transitional period in the history of industrialization. Historians have done much to analyze the impact of major technological shifts on business structure and management, and to connect eastern markets and westward expansion. They have paid less attention, however, to the relationship among continental geopolitics, industrial development, and frontier warfare. This article uses War Department papers, congressional reports, and manufacturers’ records to examine how the arms industry developed in response to military conflict on the frontier. As public and private manufacturers altered production methods, product features, and their relationships to one another, they contributed to the industrial developments of the mid-nineteenth century.

Abstract:

This article focus on the status of the woman in the main cultures (Baden complex and Yamna) of the Late Copper Age (3600–2800 BC) and the transitional period (2800–2600 BC). Although the Bell Beaker complex belongs to the Early Bronze Age in Hungary (2500–1900 BC), in European terminologies it is a Late Neolithic culture and belongs to the Reinecke A0 horizon in its late phase, which is why I included it into my research. I identify charismatic people displaying signs of agression in these three culture complexes, whose personalities are associated with warfare. In all three cultures there were women with specialised status: their knowledge, property and profession raised them above the average man and woman.

Abstract:

In post-authoritarian Argentina, veterans who participated in the brutal counterinsurgency of the last dictatorship (1976–1983) inhabit an extremely inconsistent citizenship, alternatively violating and respecting legal rights and entitlements. This article looks at how alternating transitional justice practices and the ever-changing moral discourses about warfare and accountability create highly unstable access to rights, resources, and entitlements for these veterans in Argentina. Th e recent shift toward retribution for crimes against humanity in Argentina has legally consolidated their moral downfall. From being untouchable and exemplary officers until the early 1980s, the now convicted military officers have been demoted twice by the state and the military institution. Based on long-term fieldwork with the convicted officers and their kin, this article traces the contingent relation between the moral and legal practices that underlie this double downfall that constitutes a fluctuating process of un/becoming veteranship for these veterans. Their veteranship, for that matter, depends on highly conflictive and transformative sociopolitical processes that speak to broader moral dispositions surrounding legal rights, entitlements, and worthiness for veterans.

Abstract:

The arguments put forward in this article concern ideas about jus post bellum as an urgently needed and hopefully emerging branch of a new international legal order based on fully reasoned ethical principles. The presented views refer to justifying this new international legal order with respect to the necessary parallel transformation of the utility of armed response and, particularly, lethal force to meet modern-day and future conflicts. While it is possible to find at least partial answers, many more questions for future development will emerge in order to truly establish what promotes and fulfils the actual achievement of a stable, safe, lasting, and just peace. Therefore, the object of this research into the legal and ethical possibilities is primarily to assess the quality of a new conceptualisation of international justice and law. This allows for the formation of new law jus post bellum and the nature of peace, which might induce the necessary sociopolitical transformation to sustain a just peace. The exclusive reference to moral obligations in the theorisation of the transition from conflictto peace too often fails to recognise the existing framework of the legal rules and principles involved. While analysed from the perspective of International humanitarian Law and the perspective of the independence of nation-states, it characterises asymmetric warfare and the question about the causes driving states’ and other communities’ actions, particularly casus belli. The new interdisciplinary rethinking exposed below can only result in a complex conclusion because jus post bellum in the age of global transitional justice could prepare new judicial frameworks, as well as true and real justice after the end of war.

Abstract:

AbstractThe Sino-Japanese War of 1937–1947 has not been sufficiently understood as a narrative in its own right, but rather, as a transitional conflict between Nationalist and Communist rule. The examination of the visual imagery of warfare disseminated through newsprint and books is one way to reinterpret the history of this period. Through a close reading of images printed in a Shanghai newspaper, Zhonghua ribao, during the final days of the battle for the city in 1937, we see how the news was shaped to impose a narrative of order with a positive teleology at a time when China was plunged into chaos with no guarantee of the eventual outcome of the war. The nature of this narrative is explored through examination of images of the body, as well as the positioning of images in the context of the printed page. The conclusion then contrasts these images with a pictorial history of the Sino-Japanese War published during the Civil War, in 1947. It suggests that although this book is able to bring narrative closure to the earlier conflict, its own narrative is imbued with an unease caused by the reality of the new war that had broken out within months of the ending of the war against Japan, and suggests that narrative closure is never truly obtained.

Abstract:

Purpose Patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation or venous thromboembolism have historically been treated with vitamin-k antagonist therapy; however, due to well-documented limitations, direct oral anticoagulant (DOAC) use has been increasing.(1)(2) The convenience and clinical utility of DOACs is not applicable to all patients, and some must be transitioned to warfarin therapy. Despite practice recommendations, suggestions from package inserts, and clinical trial evidence, there remains a lack of literature describing real-word examples of patient transition from DOACs to warfarin.(3–11) Summary All patients who were transitioned from a DOAC to warfarin from January to December 2016 and were managed by the clinic were included. Patients were excluded if the transition to warfarin did not include ≥ 2 days of DOAC overlap or if DOAC therapy was used as a bridge to surgery or procedure. St. Joseph's/Candler Health System IRB granted expedited approval and waived informed consent. Four elderly, Caucasian patients met the inclusion criteria. Four patients were successfully transitioned from a DOAC to warfarin for their atrial fibrillation, 3 were transitioned from apixaban and 1 was transitioned from rivaroxaban. Conclusion Overall the purpose of this retrospective, observational study was to highlight real-world management of the transition of DOACs to warfarin in an outpatient, pharmacist-led clinic.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND The COVID-19 pandemic has extensively impacted the delivery of routine medical care including anticoagulation management. The Veterans Affairs Clinical Pharmacy Practice Office (VA CPPO) has provided guidance to assist anticoagulation clinic providers in developing action plans to determine the risk vs benefit of delaying routine monitoring to reduce patient risk of COVID-19 exposure in the health care system. Frequent laboratory monitoring of the International Normalized Ratio (INR) is needed to reduce the risk of bleeding and thromboembolic events for patients on warfarin. The Madison VA standard of care (SOC) includes routine INR monitoring at least every 6 weeks for stable patients taking warfarin. Alternatively, the benefit of routine laboratory monitoring for direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) is less clear. Currently, the Madison VA recommends a complete blood count (CBC), serum creatinine (SCr), and liver function tests (LFTs) within 30 days prior to DOAC initiation, repeat CBC +/- SCr 1-3 months after DOAC initiation, then CBC/SCr every 6-12 months, monitored via the VA DOAC population management tool (PMT). Per the 2012 American Society of Hematology (ASH) and the American College of Chest Physicians (CHEST) guidelines, for warfarin, 12-week follow-up may be considered in patients with chronically stable INRs (Kearon et. al. Chest 2012). Additionally, the Madison VA completed a prior prospective study of 12-week INR follow-up for patients taking warfarin which demonstrated safety of extended follow-up intervals. However, the number of participants able to achieve (56%) and maintain (34%) a 12-week INR follow-up were lower than anticipated (Porter et. al. J Thromb Thrombolysis 2016). As of 3/30/2020, the Madison VA anticoagulation clinic followed 783 patients for warfarin management and 1742 patients for DOAC management. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS A retrospective chart review to assess practice changes during the COVID-19 pandemic was conducted on anticoagulation patients with visits from 3/16/20 and 6/18/20 who were either on warfarin, transitioned to a DOAC, or newly initiated on DOAC therapy. For patients on warfarin with 2 therapeutic INRs obtained at least 4 weeks apart, follow-up was extended to 8-12 weeks. Conversion to a DOAC was considered for eligible warfarin patients, excluding presence of mechanical heart valves, moderate to severe mitral valve stenosis, significant liver disease (Child Pugh C), or pregnancy/breastfeeding. As there are no accepted standards for DOAC laboratory monitoring, per the VA CPPO, stable baseline labs within the prior 6-12 months were acceptable. Routine laboratory monitoring after initiation could also be deferred and patients were transitioned to the DOAC PMT. The data collected in the retrospective study was analyzed using descriptive statistics. OBJECTIVES The objective of this study was to assess patient safety and INR stability using the proposed COVID-19 extended follow-up parameters. If patient safety and stability could be maintained, it may lead to long term practice changes to extend follow-up and improve the anticoagulation clinic workload efficiency. ENDPOINTS The primary endpoint of the warfarin intervention was to determine the percentage of warfarin patients with therapeutic INRs after an extended interval. Secondary endpoints included the average length of the extended interval, bleeding or thromboembolic events during extended interval or within 30 days after the extended INR result. Other secondary endpoints included review of patient misadventures during the extended interval (e.g. patient taking incorrect warfarin doses), the percentage of patients with phone follow-up between extended INRs, and clinic time in therapeutic range (TTR). The primary endpoint of the DOAC transition intervention was to determine the percentage of warfarin patients transitioned to DOACs during the specified timeframe. Secondary endpoints included the average time since last CBC/SCr for those transitioning from warfarin or newly initiating DOAC, percentage of patients without an INR at time of transition, and bleeding or thromboembolic events within 30 days of transition. Disclosures No relevant conflicts of interest to declare.

Abstract:

Background: Transition from bivalirudin to long-term warfarin therapy is often difficult to execute due to bivalirudin prolongation of the international normalized ratio (INR), and literature to help guide this transition is extremely limited. Objective: To assess the transition from bivalirudin to warfarin after implementation of an institution-wide transition protocol. Methods: In this retrospective quasiexperimental study, adult patients receiving bivalirudin directly followed by warfarin for nonprocedural systemic anticoagulation were evaluated to determine the frequency of successful transition to warfarin. Participants were compared before (preprotocol) and after (postprotocol) the implementation of the transition protocol. Results: A total of 39 patients met inclusion criteria and were included in the analysis (preprotocol = 19; postprotocol = 20). The percentage of patients achieving a successful transition was significantly higher in the postprotocol group compared with the preprotocol group (80.0% vs 42.1%, P = 0.015). Bleeding events were similar between the 2 groups (23.1% vs 16.7%, P = 0.689). Withholding of warfarin doses or the use of anticoagulant reversal agents or blood transfusions for supratherapeutic INR levels, surgical procedures, or drop in hemoglobin was numerically lower in the postprotocol group compared with the preprotocol group (16.7% vs 46.2%, P = 0.202). Conclusion: Implementation of a simplistic bivalirudin-warfarin transition protocol significantly increased the frequency of therapeutic INR results on bivalirudin discontinuation. Additionally, patients treated according to this protocol were less likely to have warfarin doses withheld or require reversal agents. Larger studies testing this transition strategy are warranted.

Abstract:

The thesis is based on a multi disciplinary study involving both particulars regarding military history and certain psychological theories. In order to be able to discuss the psychological experiences of Boers during the guerrilla phase of the Anglo-Boer War, the first chapters of the thesis strive to provide the required background. Firstly an overview of the initial conventional phase of the war is furnished, followed by a discussion of certain psychological issues relevant to stress and methods of coping with stress. Subsequently, guerrilla warfare as a global concern is examined. A number of important events during the transitional stage, in other words, the period between conventional warfare and total guerrilla warfare, are considered followed by the regional details concerning the Boers’ plans for guerrilla warfare. These details include the ecological features, the socio-economic issues of that time and military information about the regions illustrating the dissimilarity and variety involved. In the chapters that follow the focus is concentrated on the psychological impact of the guerrilla war on the Boers. The wide range of stressors (factors inducing stress) are arranged according to certain topics: stress caused by military situations; stress caused by the loss of infrastructure in the republics; stress caused by environmental factors; stress arising from daily hardships; stress caused by anguish and finally stressors prompted by an individuals disposition. Then the psychological theories regarding an individual’s resistance resources (or general resistance resources ─ GRRs) and the means of using these resources to cope with stress are applied to the actual circumstances that the Boers were faced with. This discourse is arranged according to material resources, motivational issues and intrapersonal resources. Subsequently the complete guerrilla warfare phase is considered, the accent being placed on the psychological effect that the Boers’ strategies, as well as the British counter strategies, had on the republican forces. The phase is subdivided into four stages according to the course of the war, while still furnishing an overall account of the guerrilla phase ─ ranging from the initial successes on Boer side, the gradual decline in Boer initiatives to the final months, when the few successful encounters that the Boers launched, came too late to change matters. In the final chapter the impact of the guerrilla warfare on a selected group of Boers is examined in the form of case studies. The group includes President M.T. Steyn, whose health failed him in the end and Generals C.R. de Wet and J.C. Smuts, where their positive conduct is considered from a psychological perspective. The result of the continuous pressure on the young Commandant G.J. Scheepers is examined and the stress related experiences of Chief Field Cornet H.S. van der Walt, Burghers P.J. du Toit and R.W. Schikkerling are analysed.

Abstract:

Crimea in War and Transformation is the first book in any language to examine the Crimean War from home front through demobilization, and in so doing it addresses a wide range of historical questions. The book argues that the Crimean War was a transitional conflict, ushering in not just modern technological warfare, but also new population policies characterized by fears of diversity. The war was transformative as well as transitional, as it completely changed Crimea’s population and physical environment. In generating the Great Reforms, it also produced change on an imperial scale. Finally, the book addresses the costs of war, and the fraught process of reconstruction. Areas of interest include military history; demobilization and reconstruction; Russian military-civilian policy; war and society; forced migrations/deportations; Russia’s religious policy; and Russia’s Great Reforms.

TheHandbookconsists of 32 Chapters in seven parts. Part I provides the historical background and sets out some of the contemporary challenges. Part II considers the relevant sources of international law. Part III describes the different legal regimes: land warfare, air warfare, maritime warfare, the law of occupation, the law applicable to peace operations, and the law of neutrality. Part IV introduces key concepts in international humanitarian law: weapons and the notion of superfluous injury and unnecessary suffering, the principle of distinction, proportionality, genocide and crimes against humanity, grave breaches and war crimes, internal armed conflict. Part V looks at key rights: the right to life, the prohibition on torture, the right to fair trial, economic, social and cultural rights, the protection of the environment, the protection of cultural property, and the human rights of the members of the armed forces. Part VI covers key issues such as: the use of force, terrorism, unlawful combatants, the application of human rights in times of armed conflict, forced migration, and issues of gender. Part VII deals with accountability issues including those related to private security companies, the need to focus on armed groups, as well as questions of state responsibility brought before national courts, and finally, the book addresses issues related to transitional justice.

Abstract:

The Serviceman’s Readjustment Act of 1944, also called the GI Bill or the ‘New Deal for Veterans’, constituted one of the most expansive social policies in US history. In one deft move, a bi-partisan coalition passed a surprisingly and under-appreciatedly progressive social agenda providing training vouchers, family allowances, up to a year’s worth of transitional unemployment payments, and low-interest, federally guaranteed loans for homes, farms, and businesses to nearly 8 million citizens. Every Second World War military service member was made eligible, regardless of race or ethnicity. The bill extended access to higher education, social support, and homeownership to 75 per cent of the young male cohort in post-Second World War America. As a consequence, higher educational attainment grew by 20 per cent. More generally, the bill boosted social mobility, creating the ‘civic generation’. The policy was so successful and popular that it has been routinely expanded and renewed for veterans in the seventy years since. It endures as a core component of compensation for service members today.

Abstract:

There are many transformations in developing and understanding military strategy, and new realities have delivered fresh trends in analyzing, planning, performing, and reviewing combat operations. The transformation in military strategic thoughts is affiliated with the new conception of the Fourth Generation Warfare, adopted at the turn of 20th and the 21st centuries. According to some academic conceptualizations, Fourth Generation Warfare is defined as military conflicts that involve the following elements: high technology, terrorism, a non-national or transitional base, a direct attack on enemy's culture, highly sophisticated psychological warfare especially through manipulation of the media, deliver of a high-intensity, short duration attack and creating a sense of vulnerability, debilitation, and abasement in the enemy.

Abstract:

This chapter considers the tension between magic and law: when legal structures are assumed (correctly or incorrectly) to safeguard the rights of individual citizens and punish transgressors against the common good, magic-users become ‘monsters’ for their ability to do harm at a distance, anonymously and without accountability. Beginning with an outline of the transitional moment in Irish history where scientific legal codes started to supplant the de facto belief in folk magic, this chapter looks at ‘spiritual warfare’ narratives and conspiracy tales alike to discuss how malevolent witches, wizards and sorcerers disrupt established norms of legitimacy and authority. The works considered here range from 19^th-century depictions of witches as heroic figures standing up to bullying clerics, to 20^th-century texts where the magically-inclined are ignorant throwbacks at best and sinister cultists at worst.

Abstract:

During the Second World War, the United States transitioned gradually to a foreign policy of "multilateral engagement" from a policy of "unilateral political disengagement." One of those tasked with implementing policy, Secretary of Agriculture Claude Wickard, reverted to nationalism and unilateralism when pressed to implement a promise to expand meat exports to Britain as part of an effort to maximize efficiency in usage of refrigerated shipping capacity during the Battle of the Atlantic. This episode illustrates the challenges in this transition and also depicts the broader managerial context of maritime warfare, ranging far beyond anti-submarine warfare to questions of shipping allocation, cargo provision, and inter-Allied relations. Thus this chapter by Kevin Smith integrates the study of resource management, scarcity, alliance diplomacy, and maritime warfare.

This chapter examines how the theory and practice of war has evolved over the past two centuries. It first provides an overview of modern warfare and the transformation in the way that wars are fought. In particular, it charts the decline of limited warfare and considers the ideas of Prussian career soldier Carl von Clausewitz, along with the emergence of the Napoleonic way of war and the legacy of Napoleon Bonaparte with regard to strategy. It then discusses the impact of the Industrial Revolution on the planning for and conduct of war, focusing on the ways that weapons technology transformed both strategy and tactics. It also explores the evolution of naval warfare, how nuclear weapons ended the era of total war, and the rise of revolutionary warfare. Finally, it reflects on how the transition to postmodernity can influence war as a politico-cultural institution.

Abstract:

This chapter details the story of the IEFA (Indian Corps), which fought in France. We tackle the question whether the IEFA faced a breakdown of morale; if not, how was it able to cope with the challenges of mass industrial trench warfare in the cold damp region of north France and the Low Countries? How the sepoys and sowars were able to make a transition from waging small wars to conducting mass industrial warfare centring round mud-filled trenches and mass infantry attacks supported by voluminous heavy gunfire is an issue discussed here. The first section deals with tactics and techniques of warfare for which the sepoys and sowars were prepared before the onset of the Great War, and the second section discusses the adaptation and adoption on part of the Indian troops in face of combat along the Western Front. The third section relates the soldiers’ experiences with issues of morale and discipline.

Abstract:

Developments in the command and control of offboard maritime assets, and evolution of the design of the assets themselves, have opened up new avenues to navies, industry and research institutes to change the way in which they consider and conduct Mine Countermeasures (MCM) operations. However this shift, driven by the opportunity for risk reduction and a potential increase in operational tempo, requires a change in Concepts of Operations; this will affect the way both MCM vessels and the associated MCM equipment are designed and operated in the future. This paper explores how BMT and QinetiQ have investigated the changes this new disruptive technology will have on MCM operations, and the concept of operations that can be adopted to maximise the use of this technology. Working with mine warfare and autonomous systems industry leaders, along with lessons from Unmanned Warrior 2016, and drawing on the experience of operators from several navies, the team established a range of operational concepts that can be employed to clear a minefield or hunt individual mines. Detailed Operational Analysis (OA) was carried out to validate these concepts and determine the required Unmanned Vehicle (UxV) numbers and capabilities. Aligned with this approach is the development of QinetiQ’s Equipment Agnostic Mission Enabling Infrastructure Technology (EAMEITS); a flexible system which maximises the use of UxV technology without adding to the operator burden. The outcome of this work is a new breed of MCM platform design which, thanks to the significant effort in developing the concepts of operation and the underlying OA over a number of years, is able to deliver mine warfare as technology transitions from the current capability to the future. This paper outlines the road taken to arrive at this design and the technology incorporated within, the lessons learnt along the way and what this means for the future of mine countermeasures operations.

Abstract:

The adaptation of steam engines for marine propulsion caused a dramatic shift in naval and commericial ship design during the 19th Century. The transition from sail to steam hastened the demise of several classes of ships and altered shippings routes from the trade winds to great circle routing. The conduct of naval warfare was always influenced by the limits of available propulsion technology. Throughout maritime history, innovative naval commanders sought ways to overrun, outmaneuver, and outlast their opponents. Coincident developments in armaments and armor, facilitated by this “new” propulsion technology, rendered the world’s sailing navies largely obsolete within a relatively brief period of the 19th Century. This presentation highlights the major technological advances in steam propulsion from the early combination of low-speed single-acting reciprocating engines driving paddle wheels through high-speed turbines and reduction gears driving multiple-blade variable-pitch propellers; and, boilers heated by hand-fed wood and coal through nuclear fission.

Abstract:

Military diving operations are routinely conducted in what can be one of the most inhospitable environments on the planet, frequently characterized by zero visibility. The inability to clearly see the immediate operational environment has historically been a serious limitation to manned diving operations — whether the mission is ship husbandry, under water construction, salvage, or scientific research. U.S. Navy diving is an integral part of the nation’s defense strategy with a continuing requirement to conduct manned intervention in the water column. To ensure technical superiority across the entire spectrum of diving operations we must identify, exploit, and de velop technology to advance the state-of-the-art in diving equipment. This can only be achieved by investing in, and supporting, focused research and development with specific goals to further diving capabilities. Under a project sponsored by the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), the Naval Surface Warfare Center-Panama City Division (NSWC PCD) has de veloped a prototype see-through head-up display system for a U. S. Navy diving helmet — the Divers Augmented Vision Display (DAVD). The DAVD system uses waveguide optical display modules that couple images from a micro display into a waveguide optic, translate the images through a series of internal reflections, finally exiting toward the diver’s eye providing a magnified, see-through virtual image at a specific distance in front of the diver. The virtual images can be critical information and sensor data including sonar images, ship husbandry and underwater construction schematics, enhanced navigation displays, augmented reality, and text messages. NSWC PCD is the U.S. Navy’s leading laboratory for research, development, testing, evaluation, and technology transition of diver visual display systems; with unique facilities for rapid prototyping and manufacturing, human systems integration and extreme environment testing. Along with NSWC PCD, the Navy Experimental Diving Unit (NEDU), and Naval Diving and Salvage Training Center (NDSTC) are co-located tenant commands at the Naval Support Activity Panama City (NSA PC). This paper provides a brief background on the development of diver head-up display systems, waveguide optical display technology, development of the DAVD prototype, results of diver evaluations, and recommendations for accelerated development of this game changing capability.

Abstract:

This report describes the effects of climate change for Finland from the view of comprehensive security. The report examines both direct and indirect climate security risks as well as transition risks related to climate change mitigation. The report is based on previous research and expert interviews. Direct security risks refer to the immediate risks caused by the changing nature of natural hazards. These include the risks to critical infrastructure and energy systems, the logistics system, health and food security. Indirect security risks relate to the potential economic, political and geopolitical impacts of climate change. Climate change can affect global migration, increase conflict risk, and cause social tensions and inequality. Transition risks are related to economic and technological changes in energy transition, as well as political and geopolitical tensions and social problems caused by climate change mitigation policies. Reducing the use of fossil fuels can result in domestic and foreign policy tensions and economic pressure especially in locations dependent on fossil fuels. Political tension can also increase the risks associated with hybrid and information warfare. The security effects of climate change affect all sectors of society and the Finnish comprehensive security model should be utilized in preparing for them. In the short run, the most substantial arising climate change related security risks in Finland are likely to occur through indirect or transition risks. Finland, similar to other wealthy countries, has better technological, economic and institutional conditions to deal with the problems and risks posed by climate change than many other countries. However, this requires political will and focus on risk reduction and management.
