Ministry Of Defence Research Articles

Observation and Infiltration

The article consists of two sections: a study of desertions of Jewish soldiers from the Polish Armed Forces in the East, and five reports by the head of Polish military intelligence (Second Department of General Staff), Colonel Stanisław Gano, dated August and July 1944, on the effects of infiltrating the milieu of Jewish deserters. The first section shows the causes and course of desertions of Jewish soldiers from Polish units stationed in the Mandate of Palestine, primarily in the fall of 1943, as a backdrop for the cited documents. The source section presents intelligence reports produced by Office “T” of Polish military intelligence based in Jerusalem, later sent to London and forwarded to the Political Department of the Ministry of Defense that monitored issues of national tensions within members of the Polish Armed Forces. The documents show that a considerable number of Jewish deserters came into conflict with officials of the Jewish Agency for Israel in Palestine, who had previously urged them to leave the Polish troops. The root of the conflict was the deserters’ reluctance to serve in Jewish military units under British command or in the Haganah, or to do hard labor under harsh conditions in kibbutzim. What we can learn from these reports is that many deserters wanted to return to the ranks of the Polish Armed Forces in the East, but were unable to do so because of the actions of the officials of the Jewish Agency for Israel (such as the burning of their Polish identity documents). These documents prove that the Jewish Agency for Israel was abusing the argument of anti-Semitism, which was supposedly widespread in the Polish Armed Forces in the East, by exploiting it, often with cynical deliberation, to achieve its own ends.

Features of the COVID-19 epidemic process in the Moscow Region

The article presents the features of the COVID-19 epidemic process in the Moscow Region (MO) for the period from March 2020 to December 2023. It has been established that the dynamics of the incidence of a new coronavirus infection is characterized by periods of growth and decline in morbidity of varying intensity and duration, which coincides with the appearance and circulation of new variants of the SARS-CoV-2 virus among the population. Similar periodic ups and downs have been revealed in the dynamics of mortality. It was noted that the lowest mortality rate was observed in March 2023 (0,02 %) and the highest in February 2021 (4,26 %), which was also associated with the circulation of various variants of the coronavirus. There have been increases in morbidity both in the cold season and in the summer months, which does not fully correspond to a seasonal disease with airborne transmission. It was revealed that the highest incidence was observed among the adult working population. At the same time, the incidence of children has increased since 2022, especially under the age of 1 year. Vaccination coverage of the M. O. population at the end of 2022, it amounted to 56,9 %, and collective immunity tended to decrease from 46,04 % in December 2021 to 6,07 % in December 2022. The correlation coefficient between the morbidity of the population and those vaccinated against COVID-19 in the Ministry of Defense was 0,38 %, between mortality and those vaccinated was minus 0,08, which indicates a weak effect of vaccination on morbidity and mortality.

Роль органов НКВД и члена ГКО Л.П. Берии в усилении обороноспособности 46-й армии (август – сентябрь 1942 г.)

This article examines the role played by the NKVD bodies personally a member of the GKO L.P. Beria in strengthening the defensive capability of the 46th Army in the Caucasus region during August–September 1942. Drawing on newly accessed material from the Central Archive of the Ministry of Defense, the authors attempt to highlight the main shortcomings of the command of the 46th Army and the Transcaucasian Front in defending the passes of the Main Caucasus Ridge. Specifically, deficiencies are identified in the organization of coordination between the command of the 46th Army and the Transcaucasian Front with the party and civilian organizations of the region, the impracticality of using cavalry troops in mountainous terrain, and the redeployment of the 63rd Cavalry Division and the 4th Guards Cavalry Corps to the Northern Group of Forces. Particular attention is given to the analysis of the increase in the numerical strength of units of the 46th Army on the defended passes of the Main Caucasus Ridge, the creation of operational groups, mostly headed by NKVD officers, and other similar measures carried out by the central apparatus of the NKVD and personally by People’s Commissar L.P. Beria. Conclusion dwells upon the fact that the role of the NKVD and L.P. Beria in enhancing the defensive capabilities of the 46th Army during the critical period of August – September 1942 underscores the multifaceted nature of wartime leadership and the importance of interagency cooperation in achieving strategic objectives. Through meticulous archival research and analysis, this study contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex dynamics at play during the defense of the Caucasus region in World War II.

Adoption of Accrual Accounting in the Brazilian Public Sector: a Case Study in Light of Regulation Theory

Objective: To identify existing gaps in the adoption of full accrual accounting in the public sector, with a focus on analyzing the financial statements of the Ministry of Defense (MD), and to investigate the application of accrual accounting in the public sector, considering its complex regulations. Theoretical Framework: For the analyses, the theoretical foundation is based on the theory of regulation applicable to accounting regimes in the public sector. Methodology: The research, using the Ministry of Defense (MD) as a case study, adopted a multifaceted methodological approach, including a case study, literature review, and documentary analysis. Data sources included books, dissertations, scientific articles, and legislation. Documentary analysis focused on the MD's Financial Statements, accessed through the government portal, covering the years 2018 to 2022. The research also employed content analysis techniques, following the methodology suggested by Sampaio and Lycarião (2021), to evaluate the content of the information in relation to the established objectives. Results and Conclusions: The research identified that there is already partial adherence of the public sector to international standards, as the cash basis is still observed for revenues, and areas for improvement were noted, such as the adoption of the Statement of Comprehensive Income in the context of the public sector. Research Implications: It was observed that regulatory changes are important instruments for influencing the accountability processes of the public sector. Originality/Value: The research emphasizes the partial adoption of international public accounting standards and suggests further discussions and analysis to achieve complete adherence, confirming a gap between the implementation of standards and their practical application.

The right to information under the conditions of armed aggression of the Russia

The article is devoted to the understanding and scientific and theoretical analysis of the peculiarities of the implementation and protection of the right to information in the conditions of the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine. It was determined that private law, despite all its focus on the maximum provision of personal freedom, including freedom in the exercise of rights, the admissibility of limiting a person in the exercise of these rights solely on the grounds and in the manner determined by law, recognizes not only the admissibility of such restrictions, but also necessary, if the interests of national security, territorial integrity or public order require it in order to prevent riots or crimes, to protect public health, to protect the reputation or rights of other people, to prevent the disclosure of information obtained in confidence, or to maintain authority and impartiality justice. It was determined that a person has the right to confidentiality of information about himself, which is meaningfully a component of the right to respect for his private life and the right to information in the context of his free receipt, use, distribution, storage and protection of information necessary for the realization of his rights, freedoms and legitimate interests. Content-wise, the latter can be information in the field of science, nature, politics, culture and art, sports, finance, leisure, business and economy, etc. It was concluded that the prohibition of censorship under Art. 15 of the Constitution of Ukraine forces to carefully resolve the issue of balance between censorship and restriction of the right to information in the conditions of martial law, which forces the Law to determine the grounds, procedure and procedure for restricting a person’s right to information. It was concluded that the list of information with limited access, determined by the Order of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine No. 73 of 03.03.2022, regarding the prohibition of the dissemination of information, the disclosure of which could lead to the enemy becoming aware of the actions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine and other components of the defense forces, negatively affect the course of performing tasks as assigned during the legal regime of martial law must be depersonalized, because the specified order is aimed at streamlining relations between representatives of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine and journalists.

2024 Indonesian Presidential Election: How Prabowo Won

In 2024, major democracies, including India, the United States, and Indonesia, held national elections. Indonesia was first to hold its presidential election on February 14, 2024, where approximately 205 million voters participated. This election is significant for several reasons: its implications for other large democracies, its potential impact on the regional order in Southeast Asia amidst US-China tensions, and its effect on Indonesia’s democracy. Three candidates contested the election: Anies Baswedan, former Governor of Jakarta; Ganjar Pranowo, former Governor of Central Java; and Prabowo Subianto, the Minister of Defense. Although Ganjar led the polls until April 2023, Prabowo’s support surged after November 2023, leading to a close race. Contrary to expectations of a runoff, Prabowo won decisively, with 58% of the vote share in the first round. This article explores why Prabowo’s third presidential bid was successful and examines the election’s impact on Indonesian democracy.

Utilization of android-based paediatric assessment triangle application as an emergency detection tool for children.

To identify the effectiveness of an android-based paediatric assessment triangle application in emergency diagnostics. The action research study was conducted in the emergency department of a hospital under the Ministry of Defence, Indonesia, located within the Ministry of Defence Rehabilitation Centre Complex, from April to December 2020 after approval from the ethics review committee of the Faculty of Nursing, Universitas Indonesia, Indonesia, employing quantitative and qualitative methods consisting of planning, acting, observing and reflecting stages. Emergency department nurses with at least D3 nursing graduation who were able to identify emergency status in children were included. The subjects were given training on paediatric assessment triangle application before using it in their professional life. The difference was noted through pre- and post-intervention tests. Qualitative data was collected using focus group discussion and system usability scale. Of the 9 nurses, 5(55.6%) were males, 4(44.4%) were females, 8(88.9%) were aged 26-35 years, and 2(22.2%) had professional experience 1-2 years. The mean baseline score was 36.1±11.4, while the mean post-intervention score was 70.9±14.4. The fastest application completion time was 13 seconds, while the slowest was 52 seconds. Qualitative data led to the emergence of 4 themes: time required to complete the application; preference for connectivity with the hospital's electronic record system; assessment of children's clinical status; and, unfamiliarity with the computerised system. The mean system usability scale score was 72.22±11.35 (range: 52.5-92.5). Paediatric assessment triangle application could be a valid tool for identifying emergency severity in patients during the triage process.

Improving the method for assessing the capabilities of scientific units in the Armed Forces of Ukraine

The capability assessment process plays a key role in ensuring the effectiveness and readiness of the armed forces to meet national defense objectives. The conditions for the development of the Armed Forces (AF) of Ukraine currently require improvement of the defense planning system, which would allow for effective adaptation to changes in the geopolitical environment. This will improve the efficiency and readiness of the armed forces for modern challenges. As a result, there is a need to objectively compare the level of capabilities acquired by scientific units with the capabilities established in the Unified list (Catalog) of capabilities of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and other components of the defense forces. The object of the study is the process of assessing the capabilities of scientific divisions of scientific institutions. The task that was solved is the objectivity of assessment and development of the capabilities of scientific units. Since the capabilities of scientific units are multi-criteria, it is advisable to combine their requirements into functional modules. For each carrier of capabilities, a set of modules is determined by functional directions in accordance with the assigned tasks. The method of assessing the capabilities of scientific units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been improved, quantitative assessments of deficiencies in the capabilities of scientific units and recommendations for their elimination have been obtained in accordance with the DOTMLPFI (Doctrine, Organization, Training, Material, Leadership, Personal, Facilities, and Interoperability) methodology. Based on the results of the evaluation, 30 recommendations were formed when defining 10 scenarios. The scope of application of the method is the implementation of scientific and scientific-technical activities, capacity building of scientific divisions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The method is the basis for the creation of an automated capability assessment system – an element of the automated system of military management bodies

Organizational Knowledge and Knowledge Management - A New Framework

The transition of firms from the Resource-based view (RBV) to the Knowledge-based view (KBV) where knowledge is viewed as the principal resource for value creation and sustainable competitive advantage created a renewed interest among researchers to understand knowledge per se, and the concept of organizational knowledge. This interest has further been fueled by the advent of the concept of Knowledge Management (KM). With some discussions on knowledge, this paper presents a new framework for organizational knowledge and the knowledge flow within the firm. The author has pointed out that most of the research on KM has been with the firm as a business organization (where the focus is on short-term return on investment) and that is the reason many KM initiatives often stop at IT-based initiatives or fail, and fuel the fear that KM is simply just another fad. Many KM models and frameworks present KM best practices without addressing the contextual differences between organizations. In this paper, the author has presented a knowledge perspective of four different types of organizations based on their knowledge manipulation activities and suggests that KM programs need to be custom designed to cater to the different needs of the different types of organizations. The author has also suggested a new KM framework based on the dynamics of knowledge that organizations are facing today. The author developed the two frameworks during the implementation of KM initiatives at the Defence Research & Development Laboratory, Hyderabad, a premier research institution under the Ministry of Defence, Government of India, during the years 1999 to 2003.

WAYS TO OPTIMIZE REGULATION OF SOCIAL ADAPTATION MANAGEMENT FOR CADETS

Research objective. The article examines the issues of regulating the management of social adaptation of cadets of higher military schools of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Young people entering higher military educational institutions (military universities) not only change the level of the educational institution, as higher military education requires significantly higher levels of autonomy, personal responsibility, and self-organization, along with motivation to study more complex and difficult professional areas of knowledge, but also the social environment. During their training in military universities, cadets pass through a stage of forming the main professional characteristics of social adaptation. It is during this period that the institutional development of the university’s activities to support students in socio-psychological support of the processes of their adaptation and regulation of its management in the university occurs. Such an institutional system should include, at least, three aspects of the development of the system for managing the social adaptation of a cadet and its regulation - goal setting, processes and structures. The article concludes on the expediency of solving the problem of institutional development of adaptation through the creation of a monitoring and regulation service for managing the social adaptation of cadets.

The The implementation mechanism of military diplomacy (the republic of Azerbaijan as a case study)

Purpose: is to study the relationship between the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in formulating effective military diplomacy. Method: comparative analysis, and synthesis. Findings: Military capabilities and means have always been used in diplomacy. As a result, military potential plays an important role in supporting state diplomacy and creates conditions for ensuring the country's national interests. The formation of diplomatic strategy at the national level can be systematically implemented. In order to improve military diplomacy, a document on diplomatic policy (white paper) should be prepared. Currently, the Azerbaijani Army has a branch within the International Military Cooperation Department that coordinates the activities of military attachés, but this branch does not have the potential to carry out special tasks related to military diplomacy or prepare for long-term strategies. From this point of view, a Center for military diplomacy might be established at the base of that department, and one of the priority issues should be the formation of the potential to develop strategies that reflect the long-term perspectives of Azerbaijan's military diplomacy. Theoretical implications: There are many different approaches and theoretical lenses with which to study international relations and to make sense of events, trends and processes. Although such established theoretical lenses as realism, liberalism, constructivism, Marxism, feminism and others exist, neoclassical realism has been chosen as the means to make sense of this case study. Practical implications: Practitioners in the field of foreign relations will be able to understand the role of the military diplomacy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in ensuring national interests and they will be able to have a clear picture of the ways of its optimization and the factors influencing this role. Value: the study examines the role of the military diplomacy of the Republic of Azerbaijan in ensuring national interests and presents a clear picture of the ways of its optimization and the factors influencing this role. Paper type: theoretical.

Gunshot wound of the neck with a fragment localized in close proximity to the initial p art of the esophagus with development of paraesophageal abscess. surgical tactics

One of the features of the special military operation is the prevalence of fragment wounds with predominant damage to unprotected parts of the body. Wounds and injuries to the neck constitute no more than 4 %; however, with these injuries, irreversible losses amount to up to 13 %. The article describes a clinical case of a patient with a blind gunshot fragment wound to the neck, who was admitted to the surgical (thoracic) department of the 1469 Naval Clinical Hospital of the Russian Ministry of Defense 21 days later. The fragment, located behind the pharyngoesophageal junction in the projection of Killian's triangle, led to the development of an abscess and threatened perforation of the esophagus with subsequent development of mediastinitis. In addition, the article on surgical tactics justifies the access and describes in detail the technical methods of surgical inter vention.

Indicators of health groups of pupils of general education organizations of the Russian Ministry of Defense (2010–2022)

BACKGROUND: Currently, there are 33 educational organizations of the Russian Ministry of Defense in Russia with a total staff of about 18 thousand students studying around the clock
 AIM: to assess the dynamics of the health status of students in educational institutions of the Russian Ministry of Defense for 12 years from 2010/2011 to 2021/2022 academic year.
 MATERIALS AND METHODS: We studied reports on Form 13К/МЕД, prepared by employees of educational organizations of the Russian Ministry of Defense, and calculated the dynamics of the level of assessments of the health status of students. The article presents arithmetic averages and their errors; the development of health groups was assessed using time series analysis, for which a second-order polynomial series was used.
 RESULTS: In general educational institutions, there were 25.3 ± 0.9% of pupils with health group I, 60.7 ± 0.6% with group II, and 14.0 ± 1.2% with group III. In recent years, there has been a tendency to increase the number of pupils with health groups I and II and decrease with group III. These results indicated a properly organized educational process and optimization of medical support for students. The most positive dynamics of health status were observed in pupils aged 10–12 years, less pronounced — in pupils aged 16–18 years.
 CONCLUSIONS: In some educational organizations of the Russian Ministry of Defense during the period studied, there were not entirely favorable trends in the organization of medical support for students, which aims at more personalized work with students.

The level of preparedness of military personnel for hand-to-hand combat

Abstract. In modern conditions, the military profession does not exclude activities related to the forcible detention of a criminal or aggressor. A serviceman who is proficient in hand-to-hand combat often achieves superiority over a physically stronger enemy who outnumbers him. In this case, the defenders use motor actions that, if properly directed and applied by internal and external forces, provide either a gain in strength or a gain in time. Naturally, in the process of special physical training (SPT) the issue of effective training of hand-to-hand combat techniques plays an important role in achieving a positive result in the performance of the task.
 The existing practice of special physical training in higher military educational institutions of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine shows that today, in the process of cadets' SPT, the rich material accumulated by specialists in the theory and methods of physical education and sports training is not yet fully used.
 The introduction of the latest technologies based on the use of hand-to-hand combat requires specialists to search for and apply innovative teaching methods and technologies, identify the most effective areas of the educational process that contribute to the achievement of a high professional level of students.

Прогнозирование стагнации профессионально-личностного развития специалистов на основе информационной стресс-интолерантности

The article is devoted to the study of the problems of forecasting the stagnation of professional and personal development of future representatives of law enforcement agencies and doctors based on an assessment of information stress tolerance. The following methods were used: expert survey and psychological testing (questionnaire for assessing the severity of stagnation of professional and personal development; methodology for diagnosing information stress tolerance). The sample consisted of 298 people (students of the Tver State Medical University of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, cadets of the Military University of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Prince A. Nevsky and the Moscow University of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia named after V.Ya. Kikot, police officers). It is shown that the stagnation of professional and personal development of specialists is largely determined by such a personal factor as information stress tolerance, which includes «Information activity», «Information skepticism», «Information illegibility», «Sensitivity to information stress», «Generalization of stressful information», «Stress regulation of behavior», «The intensity of the value conflict under stress». In the absence of trends towards stagnation in development among students of modern Russian universities, some features of its determination have been established. Thus, students (future doctors) are distinguished by an increased and sustained desire to obtain personally significant information and information sensitivity. At the same time, under the influence of intensive informational and psychological influence, both students and cadets do not have a revision of interests, motives and goals of life, i.e. students «live an ordinary life». Linear regression models for assessing «Stagnation of professional and personal development», «Loss of motivation for self-realization», «Awareness of stagnation in work» based on particular indicators of information stress non tolerance of specialists are proposed and tested. The approach makes it possible to improve the methods of psychological prevention and support of specialists in terms of overcoming stagnation phenomena at the personal level, as well as countering negative informational and psychological influence.

Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Korea: History and Modernity

The article is devoted to the Ministry of Justice of the Republic of Korea (hereinafter RoK, Republic). The authors examine the history of the creation in the Korean government of the department responsible for the implementation of laws, law enforcement personnel, and judicial processes. The Ministry of Justice functioned until the Japanese occupation in 1910. The new history of the Ministry began after the liberation of Korea. In 1948, the Korean Constitution came into force. Currently, the system of executive authorities of the Republic is determined by the Law on the Organization of Public Administration. In accordance with this law, the Ministry of Justice is an independent structure. The Presidential Decree on the Ministry of Justice and its subsidiaries regulates the structure and competence of the department. Certain powers of the Ministry of Justice are regulated by the laws on the prosecutor’s office, on probation, on immigration, on lawyers, on notaries, on civil servants and other regulations. A wide range of issues fall within the scope of the Ministry. The Ministry of Justice is responsible for the execution of laws, the prosecutor’s office, migration, correctional institutions, prosecutorial and legal personnel, legal assistance in civil and criminal cases. The article analyzes in details the provisions of Korean legislation on the structure and competence of the Ministry of Justice. The authors examine closely the status of Ministry employees and holding them accountable. Contemporary issues related to the activities of the Ministry of Justice are revealed. The role of the Ministry of Justice in the supervision of the prosecutor’s office, the legal profession, correctional institutions and probation is highlighted. The powers of the Ministry of Justice in the field of execution of punishment, rehabilitation of off enders and immigration are analyzed. The authors show how the Ministry is involved in international cooperation. Particular attention is paid to the importance of the Ministry of Defense in the process of improving Korean legislation.

Between regional cooperation and strategic reorganization: An examination of the change in perceptions in Japanese security policy

ABSTRACT With Japan’s new connectivity initiative, the Free and Open Indo-Pacific, alongside several previous doctrines, Tokyo has started to shift its regional security policy focus towards democratic states in the Asia-Pacific. Qualitative case studies on bilateral and multilateral cooperation in the Indo-Pacific assess these changes as reflecting a more proactive security policy initiated under the Abe administration (2012–2020). While Tokyo’s security policy towards Southeast Asia has certainly changed both qualitatively and quantitatively since 2012/2013, explaining this change by referring solely to Prime Minister Abe’s foreign policy agenda falls short. Rather, Japan’s new strategy is the result of a change in perceptions among executive officials in the foreign and defense ministries that had already been initiated in the 2000s. This study looks at this development and examines the role of the Prime Minister’s Office of Japan (Kantei), the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MOFA), and the Ministry of Defense (MOD) in initiating the change and assesses Japan’s Pacific strategy through an interview-based qualitative case study. Using the concept of “foreign policy analysis” and based on official publications and interviews with representatives of the MOD, the MOFA, and Kantei advisors, this study expands the qualitative aspect of existing research and shows that the origins of this new regionalism are found primarily in the changing perceptions of executive officials. It also points to the importance of analyzing administrative executives at the interface among Kantei, the MOFA, and the MOD, which can shed new light on the reasons behind Japan’s regional strategy shift.

Approbation of the Technology for Constructing Means of Express Indication of New Especially Dangerous

Catastrophic pandemic of the particularly dangerous coronavirus SARS-CoV-2 in 2020–2022 and the unexpected spread of the monkeypox pathogen from Africa in 2022, demonstrate the need for an adequate response to biological threats that have exotic infections as their source, overcome the interspecies barrier between animals and humans and have high rates of virulence and contagiousness in relation to the latter. The purpose of the article is to create a technology for constructing means for the express indication of new especially dangerous and exotic infections, which makes it possible to quickly develop a gene diagnostic tool, evaluate its characteristics and launch large-scale production.
