The National Guard of Ukraine is the main subject to end the riot. In carrying out measures to stop the massive riots, the National Guard of Ukraine coordinates the activities of forces and means of law enforcement involved in the termination of these unlawful actions. Mass riots is not a spontaneously emerging social phenomenon, but is a complex and sufficiently effective tool for achieving the specific goals of individuals, groups of people or parties. The task of eliminating the riots is one of the main tasks of the law enforcement forces, including the National Guard of Ukraine. The effectiveness of the tasks of ending the riot by the forces of the National Guard of Ukraine depends on the speed, objectivity and completeness of intelligence information. The use of unmanned aerial vehicles can improve the quality of intelligence. Practice shows that the lack or lack of timely intelligence information, especially in the context of abrupt changes in the situation, can lead to failure of the task. Existing methods of reconnaissance for the use of unmanned aerial vehicles have a number of shortcomings, overcoming them may be due to the development of rational tactical techniques. The main drawbacks of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles of the multi-copy type in the performance of tasks to stop the massive disturbances can be attributed: a relatively small time in the air, restrictions on the flight altitude in the city, increased risk of flight in the city, the impact on the use of unmanned aerial vehicles. One of the possible ways to increase the time of landing unmanned aerial vehicles in the air is to get the rational (shortest) way of its movement.In the article the model of motion of reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles is developed in the course of performing tasks to stop the massive disturbances, which is based on the determined rational length of the intelligence route based on the solution of the problem of the Traveler. The analysis of methods for solving the problem of the salesman has been carried out; the variant of the rational flight route of unmanned aerial vehicles has been obtained. An estimation of efficiency of the model of motion of reconnaissance unmanned aerial vehicles is carried out.Existing algorithms and methods have great complexity and unsatisfactory search times. The task of the salesman was carried out by the method of branches and borders, which allows processing up to 100 vertices of the intelligence graph without significant time and software and hardware costs. The use of a model of rational movement of unmanned aerial vehicles during exploration allowed to reduce the way by 16 percent.

PROBLEMATIC ISSUES ARISING WHILE CRIME SCENE SURVEY: DETECTION AND SEIZURE OF BIOLOGICAL ORIGIN TRACES

Development of new technical and tactical methods, techniques and means in general criminalistics, as well as rapid development of genetics, leads to an increase in biological information content that can be obtained during crime scene investigation. Increase in the number of appointed examinations does not always lead to positive results. It depends on completeness and quality of exempt traces. Reducing the number of biologists involvement of Expert service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine to participate in investigative actions, insufficient theoretical and practical training of сriminalist inspectors involved in crime scene survey are factors that affect completeness and quality of the extracted biological information. Work with traces of biological origin requires special knowledge due to their specificity. The lack of accessible methodological literature on techniques and tactics of work with traces of biological origin, the absence of information in criminalistics textbooks and in higher education institution training programs on search, detection and seizure rules of such tracks leads to the contraction of number questions regarding the quality of the crime scene survey, measures to prevent loss of important information, actions aimed at preserving exempt traces and ensuring their appropriateness for further research. After analyzing main issues that arise while working with biological tracks during crime scene survey, the following ways of solving them are proposed: involve biologists of regional centers in reviewing the crime scene survey according to facts of committing grave crimes; to solve the problem of insufficient theoretical training of сriminalist inspectors and absence of necessary practical skills by organizing systematic classes with invitation of biologists from regional centers; provide the necessary literature for investigation departments and сriminalist inspectors to the direction "search – seizure – packing of traces of biological origin"; introduce cycles on work with tracks of biological origin in trainings programs of investigators and сriminalist inspectors of higher educational establishments.

MEANS OF SOFTENING OF CATEGORICAL EXPRESSIONS AND MITIGATING STRATEGIES IN BUSINESS COMMUNICATION (based on Italian and Spanish business correspondence)

This article examines the conditions for the implementation of the mixing strategy in Spanish and Italian business writing communications. An attempt is being made to determine whether mitigation is a strategy or tactic in business communication. In this regard, these two concepts borrowed from many sciences, including linguistic, from military terminology are considered. In this paper, the mitigation is considered as a communicative strategy involving the use of a number of tactical techniques for the implementation of which language means are involved. Communicative category of mitigation considered as an element of communicative consciousness, which regulates the communicative behavior of communication participants. The linguistic pragmatics category of categorical utterance and linguistic means of its softening that realize communicative mitigation are investigated. The communicative category of mitigation (from the Latin verb 'mitigare' - to mitigate) is associated with a decrease in the illocutionary force of influence on the addressee in special communicative situations, namely, in potentially conflicting situations that often arise in business communication. Strategy mitigation, as well as tactical techniques of its implementation, is also the subject of research in the sciences related to management. They are of considerable interest to politicians, journalists, etc. On the one hand, the mixing strategies are considered in connection with the categories of cooperation, courtesy, trust, tolerance, non-domination and equality, on the other, conflict and rivalry, domination and inequality. The article states that, being associated with courtesy and mitigation of categoricality, tying however not their synonym is. Mitigation is a strategy, a means of expressing courtesy and softening categorical manner of statement - just some of the number of tools, techniques and moves tactically used in this communicative strategy. The linguistic characteristics and pragmatic tools of communicative language interaction in the process of updating their communicative intentions are studied. The linguistic behavior of participants in business correspondence is structured through the implementation of a communicative strategy, which is defined as a complex of pragmatically oriented speech actions aimed at achieving a communicative goal with the use of language tactics that contribute to the implementation of this strategy. In the course of the study, we draw conclusions about the role of pragmalinguistic tools for realizing the communicative strategy of mitigation in achieving success in business communication and the perlocutive effect.

Holding Patterns: Sand and Political Time at China’s Desert Shores

This article considers possibilities for posing the relationship between historical, political, and environmental time—a key provocation of what has been called the Anthropocene—by exploring how sand gives form to political time in Chinese state antidesertification and sand-control efforts. Through an ethnographic exploration of how scientists, engineers, and bureaucrats in two desertification emergency zones in northern China read landscapes through sand as a substance embroiled in multiple physical, geological, and ecological processes, this essay argues that sand emerges as a form not simply for apprehending alternative ways of accounting for and narrating the passage and texture of passing time but also for giving shape to the futures with which environmental politics in China must contend. It also constitutes a set of tactical techniques for intervening in and shaping environmental processes. As sand gives form to multiple chronological forms, it further reworks the chronopolitics of the grand futures of state-sponsored economic development into what I call holding patterns, techniques of environmental management shaped by earthly temporalities and aimed at holding the unruly time-spaces of moving sand in place. Sand’s motion and stabilization become the physical substrate for new modes of political fortune-telling, sometimes spelling out endings in the anticipatory spectacle of buried cities, but sometimes also providing the architecture for regenerative ecological futures.

Innovations in Intervention: El Salvador’s Role as a U.S. Strategic and Tactical Laboratory

The United States, amongst other motives, utilized their intervention into El Salvador as a laboratory for strategic, tactical and technological military techniques. The extent of the experimentation has not been fully divulged due to the continued classification of documentation and the secretive nature of U.S. special operations. However, there is sufficient evidence available to reveal that the U.S. participation in El Salvador initiated or expanded on a number of practices that would be incorporated well after the conflict

COMPROMISES IN THE PRE-TRIAL INVESTIGATION INTO TAX, DUTY (MANDATORY FEES) EVASION WITH THE USE OF MONEY LAUNDERING CONVERSION CENTERS

The article deals with the problems of using compromises in the pre-trial investigation into tax, duty (mandatory fees) evasion with the use of money laundering conversion centers. Taking into account the existing public demand for reforms of bodies responsible for tax legislation implementation oversight and with regard to novelties in criminal procedure and tax legislation, the article suggests amending the system of compromises that can be achieved at the pre-trial investigation stage with a tax compromise for users of illegal services provided by conversion centers. The article concludes that a genuine human-oriented tactics of conducting specific investigation (search) actions must be based on the most inclusive use of tactical techniques in order to influence an individual. They include: 1) demonstration of potential outcome of the current situation; 2) explanation of the importance of honest testimony; 3) persuasion of the importance of providing assistance to investigation bodies. In order to implement these tactical techniques the article advises the investigator to provide the participants of the criminal proceedings with a timely and professional explanation of the provisions of the law in force in Ukraine regarding various types of compromises.

Psycho-Pedagogical Support in the Preparation of Young Football Players

This article describes the specifics of the complex control, a model of psychological control in the training of sports reserve in football and presents solutions to the problems of psycho-pedagogical support activities for young players. Relevance and problem statement. Modern football is high demands for increased and more effective action game, expanding arsenal of technical and tactical techniques and the development of skills for operational decisions. At the same time modern football - is, above all, a struggle in which not only has to overcome the resistance of a strong opponent, but also their own shortcomings, limited physical and mental capabilities. In essence, it applies equally to the sport of high achievements and youthful sports reserves. Basic game skills of young footballers formed aged 15-16, i.e. mainly in this age there is a process of becoming a game of skills. And that is why in youth football exists an underrated problem of psycho-pedagogical monitoring of the current athlete. Psychological and pedagogical training of the current condition of young players is a complex of measures for dealing with the psychological capabilities of the young athlete. It has its forms and means, as well as methods and evaluation criteria, which are not always as obvious as in other areas of training. A Need to study this issue was expressed by us in an attempt to create a comprehensive system of psycho-pedagogical support, assessing the current status of young athletes in the long-term training. In practice of the national sport in the integrated control includes pedagogical, biomechanical, medicalbiological and psychological control. Also under the “integrated control” we shall mean the concurrent use of staged, current and operational types of control in the preparation of athletes, providing the use of pedagogical, socio-psychological, medical and biological indicators for comprehensive objective assessment of readiness, the content of the training process and competitive activity. Psychological control includes a set of indicators, means, methods, evaluations of individual-typological characteristics of the individual athlete, general and specific psychomotor abilities, mental states in extreme (stressful) conditions, competitive, social and psychological characteristics of the sports teams.

Ambushes Leading Cause of Officer Fatalities - When Every Second Counts: Analysis of Officer Movement from Trained Ready Tactical Positions

Recently, the threat of ambush assaults to police officers has dangerously increased. These assaults can occur very rapidly, and to be better prepared to respond, it is important to understand the speed of officer responses and any advantages officers may gain from various tactical techniques. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand and examine officer movement times from various finger-indexing positions as well as the speed at which officers can fire their weapons from various starting positions. In the first experiment, officers (n = 52) fired their weapons from four trained finger-index positions to measure their time to fire. In the second experiment, officers (n = 68) fired their weapons from various starting, or tactically ready, positions to measure the speed of movement to weapon discharge. Results of Part One showed that contrary to training, all indexing positions were similar in time to contact the trigger, except indexing high on the slide. Part Two revealed that point shooting was significantly faster than aimed shooting as well as that the Low-Ready position was the fastest from which to fire, and the High-Guard ready position was the slowest. These results may provide analytical and training implications to improve the safety of officers.

Training needs of purchasing and supply management personnel in Hong Kong

PurposeThe importance of purchasing and supply management (PSM) for business performance has received considerable attention in recent years. However, research on PSM training and education is inadequate. This paper aims to present initial findings from PSM practitioners about current PSM training and education needs in Hong Kong.Design/methodology/approachAn industrial survey of PSM participants was conducted. Of the 405 PSM practitioners contacted, 53 responded to the survey, for a response rate of 13.1 percent.FindingsThe study identifies current trends, skills and knowledge areas for PSM professionals. The results show that the trends of PSM focus on purchasing cost reduction, the skills focus on negotiation and communication, and the knowledge on supply analysis and relationship management. The study also finds that companies tend to adopt on‐the‐job training for PSM staff but lack a systematic PSM training approach.Research limitations/implicationsThe study suggests that human resource development for PSM staff must focus not only on tactical techniques, but also on managerial knowledge and skills. However, the sampled companies are weak at providing PSM training and measuring its results. As this study is limited by the small sample size and the nature of the surveyed region, more empirical research will be required to study the effectiveness of PSM training on business performance.Practical implicationsThis study shows that companies are weak at staff training in the studied region. Most of the companies surveyed do not have formal training programs and training effectiveness measurements. Knowledge of this is essential for other similar organizations wanting to improve their PSM personnel.Originality/valueThis paper identifies current trends, skills and knowledge required for PSM in Hong Kong, which have not previously been reported in literature.

Technology Outsourcing in the U.S. and Japan

OVERVIEW:Technology-intensive companies in the United States and Japan are increasingly turning to external sources for technology needed for new competitive products. Management techniques to fully exploit externally sourced technology are still evolving. So far, most of the activity has been confined to the tactical, business unit level for new products on a case-by-case basis. Some firms are convinced that sustained competitive advantage can be obtained through a strategic approach to technology outsourcing. The path to competitive advantage may be through the coupling of a balanced internal/external technology strategy with a broad portfolio of tactical management techniques.

A Warning Shot!

As we all know, firearms are relatively new to the majority of British police officers. As such, many of the training and tactical techniques have been imported. There is one foreign practice however that Home Office officials and firearms instructors should consider carefully before incorporating it in future training programmes. I refer to what at first sight seems the perfectly reasonable concept of firing a warning shot in the air.

A strategic framework for assessing product line additions

In a dynamic marketplace, managers need more than tactical demand analysis techniques and capital budgeting models to fully evaluate proposed product line additions. In this article, Joseph Guiltinan offers a descriptive framework to guide strategic thinking about the length of a product line. Specifically, his framework allows managers to identify the situations in which variety is an important competitive variable, examine the relationship between variety and cost, understand the underlying determinants of cannibalization and complementarity, and assess the consequences of not responding to competitive innovations. The article also shows how the relative importance of the various elements in the framework depends on the expectations that top management has established for the business unit or product line in question.

EXPLORING THE OPERATIONAL PERSPECTIVE

Abstract : Military historian Michael Howard once observed, A soldier in peacetime is like a sailor navigation by dead reckoning. You have left the terra firma of the last war and are exptrapolating from the experiences of that Today the US Army is extrapolating not only from its last war, but from its collective wartime history. It is seeking to understand a part of war that has not been a part of its recent experience. In World War II the Army effectively maneuvered field armies and army grounds on the battlefield in vast joint and combined operations. In Korea the Army had a field army operating as a part of the combined United Nations force. Since our Korean experience, however, in consonance with national policy, the Army has not had occasion to conduct operations of comparable size. The focus since shortly after World War II has been on limited wars where large conventional armed forces were not considered necessary because strategic nuclear forces could be used in place of them. Vietnam, our most recent large-scale combat experience, was almost exclusively a tactical war. Even though that may have been irrelevant to the outcome of the war, it has had a profound effect on the Army's doctrine. As a result of the shift in focus between World War II and Vietnam, the Army lost sight of how to fight that level of war lying between tactics and strategy. Today's officer corps has had no opportunity to gain practical combat experience at a higher level than the tactical. Since World War II nuclear weapons have dominated strategic planning, and until recently the Army concentrated its doctrine almost exclusively on tactical techniques. Consequently, the practical experience of the present officer corps has been limited to tactics, while its intellectual experience has been strategic. Moreover, the strategic nuclear theorizing has been the province of the nonmilitary intellectual rather than the serving Army officer.

Waging the War Against Crimes in Florida's Public Libraries

Library crimes have grown and multiplied in number to such an extent that they are rating high on the list of priorities and concerns of many public libraries in Florida. The need to use as many kinds of effective, tactical, and inexpensive techniques as possible to resolve or to lessen the severity and excessiveness of library crimes is apparent.
