Features of the use of throws in the section demonstration of applied technology hand-to-hand combat

Actuality. A characteristic feature of hand-to-hand combat is the technique demonstration section. Applied hand-to-hand combat fully corresponds to the specifics of solving operational tasks without and with the use of weapons by representatives of various military and law enforcement agencies. It is known that in certain types of martial arts, throwing is a means of achieving an advantage over an opponent, so these technical elements are often used to solve competitive or operational-service tasks. Athletes from hand-to-hand combat during competitive activities, as well as law enforcement officers during the performance of operative tasks quite often use throwing equipment. But, despite the similarity of technical performance, the use of throwing technique in the application section of hand-to-hand combat has its own characteristics. It is clear that the characteristics of hand- to-hand combat require new approaches to the construction of the training process of the combat direction, which differ from the classical types of martial arts. Research results. Competitive activity from the applied section of hand-to-hand combat fully corresponds to the specifics of solving operational-service tasks without and with the use of weapons by representatives of various power structures. Throwing technique is one of the main tools for solving a competitive task. The use of the throwing technique depends on the type of attack and has its own characteristics and patterns for effective execution. The most versatile throwing action is the rear leg throw. In certain types of threats: with a knife or a gun - the use of throwing techniques is impractical. Catching and reaching create conditions for the use of a large number of options for various throws, most of which are performed with the help of the body. Conclusions. It has been established that in hand-to-hand combat, throws are an important component of the technical arsenal for solving competitive tasks, both in the duel section and in the technique demonstration section, but the features of hand-to-hand combat do not create an opportunity to immediately throw the opponent, it is necessary to carry out preliminary offensive or defensive actions with a simultaneous reduction of the distance and by capturing or covering individual parts of the opponent's body or clothing. The main feature of the performance is maintaining balance in the rack position for further technical actions. The use of throws from certain classification groups depends on the type of attack. Threats in the form of captures and captures have the greatest variability for the use of throws, and a universal and effective means of using counterattacking actions (throws) from various types of attack from a practical point of view is the back step. In case of a threat with a knife or a gun, taking into account the specifics of this type of attack, the use of throwing techniques to repel the attack is impractical.

Medical Intelligence And Public Health In The Complexities Of Contemporary Societies The Role Of FBI In The United States

The term Medical Intelligence (Medint) defines the activities of collection, evaluation, analysis and interpretation of medical, bio-scientific and environmental information, regarding a specific country or geographical area, carried out mainly by military or intelligence agencies and carried out abroad, and useful for military or humanitarian strategic planning. It is of interest to Medint to know the potential of local health facilities, both civil and military, in the diagnostic evaluation, in case of infectious pathologies and in the evaluation of environmental risks as well as the "state of the art" of the development of computerized diagnostic technology and of biotechnology. The SMI (Strategic Medical Intelligence) is instead institutionally delegated to the intelligence agencies that deal with territorial control (counter-terrorism). In the United States, the SMI bioterrorism experts depend on the FBI. According to the definition offered by the FBI, Strategic Medical Intelligence (SMI) deals with all the management activities of a medical or health crisis situation following a terrorist act.

Commercial spaceflight: Regulatory framework assessment and safety perspectives

Recent years are witnessing the rapid technological development in airspace domain, actually paving the way to the development of a commercial space market. Until the recent past, space operations have been essentially performed by research centers or military agencies, in usually segregated areas to ensure third parties’ safety, governed by launch base regulations and organized in an unscheduled manner. However, with the entry of private companies into the space domain, a new market niche is being created: that of commercial space transportation. For example, a promising area is the one related to operations performed by commercial suborbital flights, whether aimed at space tourism or simply transporting things and/or passengers from one point to another on the Earth's surface. The traffic volumes are supposed to increase in next years and segregating airspace does not represent a sustainable solution for the future.The present paper will first assess the state of the art of the regulatory framework currently applicable to operators in order to obtain authorization to perform space missions for commercial use, then propose a comparison between the United State of America and European regulatory frameworks. Main challenges related to regulatory aspects will be identified and perspectives on possible higher airspace operations integration in the medium-long term will be derived. Finally, safety considerations deriving from a seamless accommodation of higher airspace operations in current Air Traffic Management will be derived for the medium-long term. In conclusion, this work reveals that neither the United States nor Europe has formally approved a legal framework establishing certification procedures for sub-orbital space transport systems. Currently, the US legislation is the most applicable as it has comprehensive rules to allow operators to obtain flight authorization ensuring compliance with requirements through a compliance matrix periodically updated.

ДОВІРА ДО ПРИКОРДОННОЇ ІНСТИТУЦІЇ КРІЗЬ ПРИЗМУ МАСОВОЇ СВІДОМОСТІ МІСЦЕВОГО НАСЕЛЕННЯ НА ЗВІЛЬНЕНИХ ТЕРИТОРІЯХ ДОНБАСУ В 2014–2018 рр.

Work with the local population became an important component of the service and combat activities of the State Border Service of Ukraine in the territory liberated from the illegal armed formations of the Russian occupation administrations. Determining the level of trust of local citizens of Ukraine is considered one of the criteria for evaluating the effectiveness of such work. Therefore, clarifying the structure and dynamics characteristic of the mass consciousness of the population of the liberated territories of Donetsk and Luhansk regions and their attitude towards the military formations and law enforcement agencies of Ukraine remains an urgent task, both from a scientific and an applied point of view. From a historical point of view, such studies have value as the formation of an appropriate research base, which in the future is expedient to use when studying various aspects of wars conducted by hybrid methods. Therefore, the conducted research showed that the majority of the local population of the liberated territories consciously sought the speedy establishment of peace. Answers to debatable questions about negotiations, conditions for establishing peace, the status of certain regions of Donbas, etc. depended on the place and time period when the survey was conducted. Regarding trust in border guards, this issue was also ambiguous and depended on the region. But, in general, the population treated military personnel with some caution, and the level of trust, as for the department, was low. The reason for this can be seen in the anti-Ukrainian propaganda by the Russian mass media, the influence of which continued in the territories on both sides of the contact line. Regime measures, which created restrictions on the movement of local residents and a tense situation with queues and constant shelling of entry-exit checkpoints on the contact line, which were maintained throughout the period of the anti-terrorist operation, also did not contribute to strengthening trust in border guards as representatives of state.

Loyalty, Subjecthood, and Violence: Veracruz’s Afro-descendants in the Early Mexican War of Independence, 1812–1813

Abstract: This article is centered around the experiences of Afro-descendant men in the 1812–1813 period of the Mexican War of Independence as it occurred in the port-city of Veracruz and it Sotavento (Leeward) hinterland. It argues that Black men had complex, active, and essential roles in providing the backbone of regional royalist and insurgent armies. It pieces together the fragmented military and political agency of Veracruz’s Afro-descendant men as reflected in published and unknown archival sources of the colonial and national archive, such as military reports and correspondence, constitutions, decrees, 19th Century published accounts, and a lengthy court case. This article sheds light on how Afro-descendant men were pushed to participate by their individual and collective needs, reacting to localized, and transatlantic, conditions that promised, or excluded them from, social, economic, and political advancement. By centering Veracruz’s Afro-descendant men as instrumental players of the war, even in leadership roles, this article seeks to problematize traditional narratives of the struggle that negate and erase Black History in the Mexican struggle for liberation. This article also places their experiences within the backdrops of Atlantic World politics during the Age of Revolutions. It examines the ways by which they reacted to limiting frameworks of citizenship influenced by localized, and transatlantic, Anti-Black stereotypes and fears, along with the adoption of the 1812 Cádiz Charter. This article argues that these men found themselves amidst the paradox of being militarily wanted but politically rejected by nineteenth century Spanish colonialism. This led Afro-descendant men to seek new opportunities of belonging and empowerment, joining the insurgency to improve their sociopolitical status. This article seeks to humanize voiceless Afro-descendant historical actors placing them as essential players of Veracruz’s, and the Greater Caribbean’s, early-nineteenth century regional dynamics.

Artificial Intelligence in the Military: An Overview of the Capabilities, Applications, and Challenges

Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a reality in today’s world with the rise of the 4th industrial revolution, especially in the armed forces. Military AI systems can process more data more effectively than traditional systems. Due to its intrinsic computing and decision-making capabilities, AI also increases combat systems’ self-control, self-regulation, and self-actuation. Artificial intelligence is used in almost every military application, and increased research and development support from military research agencies to develop new and advanced AI technologies is expected to drive the widespread demand for AI-driven systems in the military. This essay will discuss several AI applications in the military, as well as their capabilities, opportunities, and potential harm and devastation when there is instability. The article looks at current and future potential for developing artificial intelligence algorithms, particularly in military applications. Most of the discussion focused on the seven patterns of AI, the usage and implementation of AI algorithms in the military, object detection, military logistics, and robots, the global instability induced by AI use, and nuclear risk. The article also looks at the current and future potential for developing artificial intelligence algorithms, particularly in military applications.

A Non-Clinical Referral Tool to Help Identify Problematic Child Sexual Behavior: Development, Training, and Initial User Feedback

ABSTRACT Early identification of children and youth who engage in problematic sexual behavior is important for all parties involved, such as children who exhibit and are impacted by the behavior. There are several reliable and valid identification tools that can be used to recognize problematic sexual behavior in children and youth (PSB-CY) in clinical practice; however, professionals who work with children in non-clinical settings (i.e., child development centers, youth programs, and schools) often have limited resources and tools when they encounter PSB-CY. This paper describes the development, content, and user feedback of a referral tool (RT) that was designed to help identify incidents of PSB-CY for use with military agencies and schools. Specifically, the RT was designed to help professionals, who may have observed or who may have been made aware of sexual behaviors in children and youth, organize their observations of the behavior in alignment with evidence-based information about PSB-CY and consistently document these occurrences. The RT guides users in determining if the observed behavior is normative, cautionary, or problematic and promotes informed decisions about whether the behavior needs to be referred to those who have experience using clinical tools for further review and the identification of next steps for supporting the children and families involved. Early adopters provided feedback on the use of the RT. The feedback suggested that the tool was user-friendly, understandable, and helpful as they made objective decisions about how to identify and handle referrals of PSB-CY.

Design Analysis of Mid IR DIAL System for Detection of Hazardous Chemical Species

Nowadays, both military and public agencies are concerned with the remote detection of toxic gases and chemical warfare agents in the atmosphere. A promising method for the remote detection of such harmful chemicals in the atmosphere is Differential Absorption Lidar (DIAL). In the current paper, system design analysis has been carried out to build a DIAL system for the detection of toxic chemical warfare agents, chemical warfare simulants, explosive precursors, and pollutants. The proposed DIAL system comprises an Optical Parametric Oscillator (OPO) based tuneable laser, a 203 mm diameter Cassegrain telescope, a TE-cooled MCT detector, suitable data acquisition hardware, etc. The DIAL output parameters like return signals, SNR, and minimum measurable concentrations have been simulated under different weather conditions such as clear sky, moderately hazy sky, and hazy atmospheric conditions for given system input parameters (pulse energy, detectivity, bandwidth, DAQ resolution, etc.). We have considered chemicals such as Sarin, Thiodiglycol (TDG), acetone, and methane to be detected using the system. Analysis has been carried out for these chemicals present at different locations with varying concentrations. Our analysis reveals that the DIAL system with a laser transmitter of 5 mJ energy and 203 mm receiver telescope is capable of detecting a few ppm concentrations of toxic chemicals present anywhere between the ranges from a few tens of meters to 2 km with topographic target present. The sensitivity of the system in terms of minimum detectable concentrations for the considered chemicals is also estimated for different atmospheric conditions. It is seen that the minimum detectable concentration of TDG is 3.2 ppm in clear weather conditions which increases to 9.2 ppm under a hazy atmosphere. A similar analysis has been carried out for other toxic chemicals and has been discussed in the paper.

Defense and Deterrence as the Foundation of the A2/AD System in Smart City Air Defense

The extreme concentration of tangible and non-tangible resources in the environment of the Smart City calls for their securing and protection. In the case of threat emergence, the military would have to enter areas where local authorities cannot guarantee the security of Smart City assets. Thus, the question arises whether or not Smart Cities could potentially assist the military forces in performing their tasks better on the battlefield. Some military agencies are currently exploring the possibility of using the military in Smart Cities. For instance, the United States Army Research Laboratory (ARL) is studying whether smart city communications and infrastructure could be of use on the future battlefield. This paper aims to indicate the potential for expansion and integration of the anti-aircraft defense systems to serve the needs of urban defense, thereby allowing the achievement of air superiority and implementing the assumptions of A2/AD systems. In reference to the research objective formulated in such a way, discovering the answers to the following questions was deemed crucial: What is the state of the current Anti-Aircraft Defense (AAD) system of urban centers, in particular Smart Cities? What are the possibilities of expanding and improving this system? How can the SMART CITY system be integrated and serve as an element of strengthening the AAD system? In order to answer the indicated questions, this article was written with the use of qualitative method consisting of text and literature exploratory research and analysis, and comparative analyzes of Smart Cities and Air Defense in contemporary military operations. To achieve the assumed aim, the authors have also conducted the evaluation of Air Defense combat capabilities, as well as the changes that have occurred in the environment of Smart Cities. The authors used thematic analysis methods to interpret patterns and meanings in the data

Egbé and Kánàkò traditional hunting methods: Implications for community policing and women’s involvement in socio-economic sustainability in South West Nigeria

Over the years, Nigerian society has the belief that given the potency of kánàkò (collision of time and space) and egbé (teleportation), it can only be applied by men while neglecting the role of women in its application for national safety. The study examines egbé and kánako and implications for community policing and women’s involvement in socio-economic sustainability in South West Nigeria. Three research questions were raised and answered to guide this study. The study adopts the qualitative research approach anchored on ethnographic research design. A purposive sampling technique was used to select 36 participants from six (6) communities in Ógun, Oyó, and Osun states. Recordings, observations, key informant interviews, and focus group discussions were used to gather qualitative data. Findings from the study revealed that egbé and kánàkò could be useful for military and paramilitary agencies if appropriately implemented to ensure community policing and national safety, amongst others. The study recommends, amongst others, that the hunters’ association and government should properly sensitize women in the hunting profession on their role to enhance the preservation of these traditional means of fortifications and not become weapons that will render these fortifications irrelevant.

ЗАПРОВАДЖЕННЯ ІНСТИТУТУ РОЗСЛІДУВАННЯ ВІЙСЬКОВИХ КРИМІНАЛЬНИХ ПРАВОПОРУШЕНЬ ДЕРЖАВНИМ БЮРО РОЗСЛІДУВАНЬ ТА МАЙБУТНЬОЮ ВІЙСЬКОВОЮ ПОЛІЦІЄЮ

At all stages of Ukraine’s development, the system of investigation of criminal offenses was one of the attributes of ensuring the rule of law in the state. Among this, the system of investigations of military criminal offenses in the Armed Forces of Ukraine (hereinafter – the AF of Ukraine) is not an exception. It should be noted that there is an urgent need to reform such a major military law enforcement agency as the Military Law Enforcement Service of the AF of Ukraine, which does not meet modern NATO standards, the member of which Ukraine plans to become in the nearest future, into a new Military Police that will investigate military criminal offenses together with the State Bureau of Investigations. To this date, in connection with the possibility of creating a Military Police in Ukraine we should: adopt amendments to the Criminal Code of Ukraine, which provide for the classification of certain crimes under Articles 402, 403, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, etc., to criminal offenses; to determine the powers of the Military Police to conduct a pre-trial investigation in the form of investigation of criminal offenses committed by servicemen, civil servants of military formations, and to leave the powers to investigate war crimes and crimes in the military sphere (the latter include various encroachments on the military-industrial complex) for the State Bureau of Investigations; to refer to the jurisdiction of the Military Police certain components of criminal offenses, in addition to Article 422 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine, committed by servicemen, sergeants and junior officers, and civil servants of military formations, whose positions belong to “B” category. Key words: State Bureau of Investigation, Military Police, Military Law Enforcement Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, military criminal offenses, NATO, military criminal justice.

A novel 3D-printed graphite/polylactic acid sensor for the electrochemical determination of 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene residues in environmental waters

Here, lab-made graphite and polylactic acid (Gpt-PLA) biocomposite materials were used to additively manufacture electrodes via the fused deposition modeling (FDM) technique for subsequent determination of the explosive 2,4,6-trinitrotoluene (TNT, considered a persistent organic pollutant). The surface of the 3D-printed material was characterized by SEM and Raman, which revealed high roughness and the presence of defects in the graphite structure, which enhanced the electrochemical response of TNT. The 3D-printed Gpt-PLA electrode coupled to square wave voltammetry (SWV) showed suitable performance for fastly determining the explosive residues (around 7 s). Two reduction processes at around −0.22 V and −0.36 V were selected for TNT detection, with linear ranges between 1.0 and 10.0 μM. Moreover, detection limits of 0.52 and 0.66 μM were achieved for both reduction steps. The proposed method was applied to determine TNT in different environmental water samples (tap water, river water, and seawater) without a dilution step (direct analysis). Recovery values between 98 and 106% confirmed the accuracy of the analyses. Additionally, adequate selectivity was achieved even in the presence of other explosives commonly used by military agencies, metallic ions commonly found in water, and also some electroactive camouflage species. Such results indicate that the proposed device is promising to quantify TNT residues in environmental samples, a viable on-site analysis strategy.

LONG-TERM SECURITY AND DEFENSE OF UKRAINE ON A BASIS OF HIGH-TECH AND INNOVATION-DRIVEN ECONOMIC RECOVERY

The author describes a comprehensive strategy for Ukraine till 2030 that includes both short- and long-term priorities. In the shorter term, Ukraine’s defense sector needs reorganization and modernization in a number of areas from mobilization to production of drones, along with urgent reforms in other sectors aimed at economic revival, effective state budget planning, and modernization of education. In the longer term, extensive reforms are required to make Ukraine a sustainable, prosperous, and well-defended nation. Economic growth based on Ukraine’s traditionally strong sectors (IT and agriculture), revived defense industry, innovations, structural reforms, upgraded infrastructure, and energy independence should help attract investment, which is a prerequisite for creation of new jobs. Revival of Ukraine’s labor market, along with effective anti-corruption and demographic policies and education reform, are required to retain people in Ukraine and provide an incentive for refugees to come back. As for Ukraine’s Euro-Atlantic integration, there is a need for substantial discussion, work of diplomats, military agencies, experts, civil society, etc., as well as much closer coordination between the Defense and Security Sector and other parts of the government of Ukraine. Ukraine has strategic international importance for global stability, food and energy security. Ukraine needs assistance with bringing aggressors to responsibility. Support of Ukraine by our allies is in the interest of both sides in order to strengthen our collective defense and deterrence.
