Full textAbstract:
During the Ottoman Empire, which was established in Anatolia after the Seljuks, many developments were made in the name of art for 600 years. Especially thanks to the Ottoman Empire's value to the artist and art, very good works have been produced in many fields. In addition to branches such as calligraphy, illumination, miniature and marbling, fabrics, carpets and rugs, which attract the attention of the whole world in the field of textile, were also woven. The art of weaving experienced its brightest period in terms of weaving technique, color and pattern in the Ottoman Empire. It is understood that weaving, which continued to be produced traditionally in Ottoman cities, continued its existence as an important cultural element and sector. The clothes of the Ottoman sultans kept after their death and the qualities of the fabrics used in the palace convey very important information at the point of understanding the importance of weaving. The diversity and richness of the weavings and textiles produced in many documents belonging to the period can be clearly seen. In this context, this rich weaving and textile diversity has taken an important place in Turkish culture. Especially this rich variety of weaving and textiles has been painted by many painters in almost every period and has gained an important place in terms of conveying information about their periods. In this study, some of Halil Pasha's paintings in which he displayed an objective and objective approach with a realistic style, some of which are in an orientalist style, are discussed as subject. In the study, will focus on Halil Pasha's life, his understanding of art and the textiles and clothing he depicted in some of his paintings. The textiles and clothes in the paintings were discussed in terms of characteristics such as color, pattern, and texture. Key Words: Textile, weaving arts, clothing, painting, carpet.

Full textAbstract:
“Redundancy” is a sensitive issue for each enterprise. However, many enterprises are forced to conduct redundancy due to business changes. As WeaveTech changes its main business sector from military clothing to civil high-end performance clothes, the newly assigned management expect to cut the number of managers. The article aims to provide a guideline of redundancy for WeaveTech and evaluate it. Besides, several alternative methods other than redundancy are illustrated. Some thoughts gained through this case can be applied to other similar cases.

Full textAbstract:
Pier Vittorio Tondelli’s second novel, Pao Pao (1982), has often been considered as an example of hedonism and lack of structural criticism against the military institution. This study contradicts the vulgate by demonstrating its full readability through the lenses of queer theory via an explicit adoption of a camp point of view. Tondelli used camp as an aesthetics that also includes political intentionality, clearly visible in the novel’s proud—and yet amused—stance against the homophobic and heteronormative core of the army. Pao Pao’s camp, and its framing of military uniforms and plain clothes under the umbrella of just another (deeply queer) drag experiment, aim to the production of a new rainbow- queer-social-visibility-tesserae within and against the larger mosaic of a highly heteronormative society: the Italy of the Eighties.

The aramid fabrics have been widely used in aerospace, military and protective clothes for light radiation stability properties. The reflection and transmission properties of two kinds of materials (Kevlar 49 fabric and Kevlar 49/Nomex blended fabric) and three weaves of aramid fabrics with different wavelength spectrum were evaluated by ultraviolet-visible-near infrared (UV–Vis–NIR) spectrophotometer analysis. The effects of fabric layers on the reflection and transmission performances of aramid fabric were also discussed. It indicated that the aramid fabrics have good thermal and light protective properties.

Full textAbstract:
There are occasions when identification of individuals in civil clothes or uniform may be necessary. In such a case, the ability of terahertz radiation to react to different configuration of, for example, plastic objects, such as tablets, etc. may be used to give a warning sign if the approaching subject is foreign, be he or she in uniform (the one that looks like your own) or in civil clothes. The identification gives an advantage of “checking the credentials” without asking for them. This feature may be especially useful when a military detachment is located close to the adversary occupied territory. The idea for such an identification device came from real situations similar to those that have taken place in Iraq, etc. The code for identification is built in the password tablet. The tablet coatings are semi-transparent to the THz radiation and do not scatter it significantly. The THz pulses, incident on the tablet surface, penetrate through the different coating layers. At each interface a portion of the pulse is reflected back to the detector. The amplitude of the reflected radiation is recorded as a function of time. The resulting pattern is compared with the password.

Full textAbstract:
The primary task of the military intelligence in the People’s Republic of Poland was to acquire materials on the armament and stationing of NATO troops. However, due to the demand of the communist authorities, it also conducted political activities aimed at, among others, the Catholic Church. The interest of the state authorities increased especially during the pontificate of John Paul II. According to the assessment of military intelligence, the election of Karol Wojtyła as Bishop of Rome stimulated the Catholic Church both in Poland and in the Vatican. In this way, the activities of the Second Directorate of the General Staff of the Polish Army were within the scope of civil intelligence interests. The article aims to show the role played by intelligence officers and informers operating in Rome undercover as military attachés or in civilian institutions. Their actions resulted in the establishment of contacts with the church environment and acquisition of voluntary and involuntary informants. In this way, the Second Directorate of the General Staff of the Polish Army provided the party and political apparatus with interesting news and materials. Following the introduction of martial law in Poland, the church from the Rome area started sending parcels of food, clothes and medicines to Poland. This aid for the country was used to establish contact with the Polish clergy thanks to the initiative of Colonel Franciszek Mazurek.

Hausa people are among the popular communities in Africa due to their eminence in trade, scholarship, military service such as the world wars, leadership, and politics in media/journalism, in academics, etc. These factors, however, influenced the acceptability of the Hausa Language as a good area of study in many Nigerian Universities. Hausa is also studied in American, German, Asian, and Universities. This paper concentrated more on trying to use some factors to identify who is a Hausa man? Where is he located? What are his features and behaviors? The factors used by this paper include: Place identified as Hausaland, his facial marks, his clothes or dress, his dietary habits, his physical features, his body gestures, and his uniqueness of specializing in a dangerous occupation.

Full textAbstract:
The worldwide renowned Slovenian industrial alternative music group Laibach, which was also a member of the multimedia artists’ collective called NSK, has been a subject of many professional discussions. This article attempts to analyse Laibach’s conception of a uniform according to the theory of anti-fashion. As one of the most recognizable elements expressing a mythical, totalitarian aura, inseparably linked with the performers’ distant and constrained attitude, Laibach’s uniform can be erroneously comprehended as anti-fashion clothing, expressing fixed and rigid social environments. The analysis of Laibach’s television interview from 1983, in which the band is directly imitating the ruling ideological language, shows that the strategy of over-identification and subversion represent dominant principles of Laibach’s actions, combining them with the retro-method of using symbols and images of various cultural traditions and periods, as seen in their diversity of clothing worn, including the Yugoslav military uniform, miner and hunting uniforms, jeans and shirts, and even fashionable items. With the performative dimension in the ideological ritual and by emphasizing totalitarian tendencies in contemporary society, Laibach endeavours to show that all changeable multiform clothes are uniforms – timeless, universal and deprived of semiological meaning and thus surpasses the distinction of fashion and anti-fashion or fixed and modish costume. Nearly forty years after the establishment of the group, Laibach is conventionally dressed in regular clothes, nevertheless providing a sentiment of wearing a collective’s uniform.

The present study was conducted in order to evaluate efficiency of a personal body cooling system based on passive evaporative technologies and its effects on test subjects psycho-physiological suitability during exertional heat stress in hot environment. Performed results are based on conducted tests in climatic chamber in the Military Medical Academy Institute of Hygiene in Belgrade. Ten male test subjects were subjected to exertional heat stress test consisted of walking on motorized treadmill at a speed of 5 km/h in hot environment. Tests were performed with and without cooling system. As a physiological strain indicator the following parameters have been determined: mean skin temperature, tympanic temperature, heart rate and sweat rate. Results confirmed that cooling vest worn over the clothes was able to attenuate the physiological strain levels during exercise, when compared to identical exposure without the cooling system.

Full textAbstract:
The military and political events during August-September of 1914 resulted in the active incorporation of clerical institutions of the Katerynoslav diocese in organizing systemic and ideological support and material provision for the political course of the Russian autocracy, practical implementation of numerous internal political campaigns aimed at strengthening the state system and defence capabilities of the country, increasing the combat spirit of the current army and naval forces, participation in the mobilization of conscripts, consolidating the population for the practical solution of a number of socio-economic and agricultural problems caused by the war. A significant component of the organization of charity in the Katerynoslav diocese was the provision of systematic material assistance to the personnel of the military units of the Russian army. As a rule, it was mostly implemented in various forms: collecting donations for military purposes, organizing the systematic supply of warm clothes, shoes, bedding and underwear, necessary military equipment, foodstuffs, medicines, articles of daily necessity, tobacco and personal hygiene products. One of the major directions of charitable activity of the Orthodox clergy during the First World War was the organization of a chain of hospitals and military sick quarters which provided the necessary medical assistance to the wounded and sick soldiers and officers. At the initial stage of the First World War, the Orthodox clergy of the Katerynoslav diocese participated actively in the organization and conducting of numerous charitable events and campaigns aimed at providing financial and material assistance to the low-income categories of the population suffering from hostilities. The charitable activity of the Orthodox clergy met the principal needs of the Russian society and played an important role in the depreciation and smoothing of destructive phenomena of social entropy caused by the war. However, due to the economic crisis determined by the exponential growth of the military conflict, the gradual destruction of the economic system, the elimination of the financial resources of a great part of charitable institutions and private benefactors, the rapid increase of the population in need, the charitable activity of the church could not reach its goal and effectively solve a set of urgent problems of social protection of the population of the country and Prydniprovsk region.

Full textAbstract:
Education system of the USSR gave the great opportunities for formation of a new type of person — Homo Sovieticus. So, the teacher was supposed to be an ideal of communist morality. The Communist Party has always followed the personal lives of teachers. Teacher’s appearance has always been clearly regulated. Clothing, hairstyle, make-up was canonically restrained. Leisure was focused on self-education or socially useful activity. The purpose of this publication is an illustration of Soviet teacher`s appearance (clothes, hairstyle, make-up, accessories) and leisure activities. So, the research is based on archival materials, memoirs and previous studies. Having analysed the memoirs and previous studies, the author makes the following conclusions. In the USSR, the appearance of the teacher was not assessed in terms of fashion or style, but in terms of purity, modesty and precision. In the first postwar years there was a big shortage of clothing. Male teachers continued to wear military uniforms. Women dressed simple dresses, mostly dark colours. Since the 1960s, when the fashion began to penetrate the USSR, teachers also followed the trends. It was possible to make a fashionable hairstyle, to wear fashionable clothes. Widespread form of leisure was the watching movies in the cinema. Widespread were also active holidays, sports, walks in parks, reading books and newspapers. Such aspects of the life of Soviet teachers as appearance and leisure are not studied enough. At the same time, this topic is promising. Scientific research can be supplemented with a large number of archival materials and photos. Besides, during the further study of this topic it should be used the method of oral history.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the influence of Xenophon’s didactic works on the military activities of Alexander the Great. It is re-vealed that messages from ancient sources containing direct in-dications of the fact that Alexander was familiar with Xeno-phon’s works are either fundamentally unreliable or subject to different interpretations. Nevertheless, a comparison of the rec-ommendations proposed in “Kyropedia” and other Athenian au-thor’s writings the with Alexander’s practical activities reveals obvious similarities in their views on training military personnel, organizing competitions in military skill, providing soldiers with richly decorated weapons, and caring for the sick and wounded. A set of coincidences is associated with the political and admin-istrative activities of Alexander, who, like Cyrus the Elder in Xenophon’s writings, demonstratively showed mercy towards the vanquished, attracted representatives of the local elite to the ser-vice, wore clothes traditional for a conquered country. A large number of similarities, good education of Alexander and the popularity of Xenophon’s writings in the second half of the 4th century BCE allow us to conclude that the Macedonian king was familiar with the works of the Athenian author. However, the components of Xenophon's didactic legacy associated with the methods of warfare do not correlate well with Alexander's mili-tary leadership practice. The fundamental differences are re-vealed in the armament of the cavalry and their tactics, the depth of the infantry formation, the role of army branches on the battle-field. They were caused by a significant breakthrough in the art of war that took place in Macedonia during the time of Philip II. This breakthrough also led to the emergence of new tactics that provided for crushing the enemy not with a frontal attack of heavy infantry, but through the combined use of various types of troops. Alexander as a military leader was raised under the con-ditions of a new, more developed military art. Thus, the over-whelming majority of Xenophon's recommendations, which de-scribed the cavalry as a purely auxiliary branch of the army and considered the classical hoplite phalanx a decisive force in battle, were clearly irrelevant for him and therefore ignored.

Full textAbstract:
Two identical backpacks were treated on two occasions to be exhibited alongside at the Lisbon Military Museum. Although both backpacks are the model 1859, the treatment procedures related to the painted canvas were approached differently. The distortions and losses of canvas on the first treated backpack were easily addressed with an ultrasonic humidifier and the insertion of new canvas. Regarding the surface coating, it was consolidated with BEVA® 371, and the inserted canvas was filled with a pigmented wax paste described in a book from the late 19th century. The second backpack was in far worse condition, which, when compared with archive record, seemed likely that it was exhibited for a long period in a damp environment. There were also traces of an organic coating distinct from the original coating. These conditions resulted in a stiffer backpack, with more losses of canvas and surface coating. As a result, the distortions could not be removed, new fabric could not be properly inserted, and the consolidation of the surface coating had to be addressed in a different way. For these motives, the goal of treatment of the second treated backpack was cut short for a more realistic goal, but resulted in a good outcome, nonetheles.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of the evolution of the culture of everyday life of the Siberian province population in the first quarter of the 18th century, the characteristics of the development of traditional forms of material culture of Siberians, and new features of everyday life that arose under the influence of the implementation of Peter's reforms on the territory of Western Siberia. Changes in the material culture, leisure and life of the population of the Siberian province in the first quarter of the 18th century are considered, the traditions of building houses, making clothes, the level of medical care and health care, leisure activities of the population of Western Siberia in the first quarter of the 18th century are described. The study was carried out on the basis of an analysis of the complex of legislative and office-work sources of the State Archives in Tobolsk. Among them, an important place is occupied by decrees regulating the organization of medical care for the population, documents reflecting the actions of local authorities in relation to the occupation of Swedish prisoners of war in Tobolsk by distilling. The authors of the article show that Peter's modernization processes in the field of culture, customs and everyday life had little effect on the traditions of building houses, making clothes, and everyday activities of the majority of the peasant population of the Siberian province and local non-Russian peoples. It is concluded that the main changes affecting the area of everyday culture are associated with the implementation of the military and administrative reforms of Peter I, the appearance of captured Swedes on the territory of the province, the implementation of the provincial reform, a change in the local administration system, the emergence of medical professional personnel and health care institutions.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the process of Sovietization of the traditional costume of the Crimean Tatars in the 1920s. Researches made by scientists and ethnographers of the studied period confirms the fact of gradual loss of the national identity of the Crimean Tatar traditional costume and transition to the general Soviet type. The factors that influenced this process were: the influence of Russian and European fashion, military conditions, and the general decline of the economy in the country and the famine of the 1920 in the Crimea, the loss of traditional sewing and weaving techniques, the replacement of handmade fabrics with factory fabrics, the use of artificial dyes for dyeing threads. The well-to-do strata of the population and the elderly, in particular, those living in some parts of the foothill and southern coastal parts of the Crimea, were the least susceptible to modern fashion. The national attributes that managed to survive the longest period in the clothes of the Crimean Tatars were headdresses – fes and kalpak. The main features of Soviet clothing were simplicity, efficiency and functionality.

Характерными объектами образа силового лидера стали френч, высокие сапоги (краги), фуражка военного образца, защитного или серого цвета плащ реглан, кожаная куртка, курительная трубка и усы шеврон. После победы в Великой Отечественной войне власть отказалась от упрощенческого образа в пользу патетичного, церимониального. Была реставрирована дореволюционная символическая атрибутика власти. В армии были восстановлены офицерские звания, погоны, лампасы, вновь появились генералы, маршалы, и даже генералиссимус. Для строительства важных госучреждений был разработан специальный архитектурный стиль, неформально называемый советский (сталинский) ампир. Имперская помпезность и тяжеловесность вплоть до ХХ съезда КПСС стала характерной чертой послевоенной эпохи. В эпоху оттепели началась десакрализация власти. Лидер страны Н. С. Хрущев отказался от стиля милитари, стал одеваться исключительно в гражданскую одежду, напоминающую повседневную домашнюю одежду или одежду сельскую, выдержанную в славянском этностиле. Характерной частью его наряда стала душевная украинская вышиванка, имплицитно указывающая на его славянскую ориентацию и приверженность к демократичному стилю правления. Десакрализация власти, демократизация общества, ослабление цензуры, расширенная возможность самовыражения подрывали основы могущества чиновничье-бюрократического аппарата. Это неизбежно должно было привести к противостоянию чиновников и Хрущева, которое закончилось свержением Первого Секретаря ЦК КПСС. Последующая эпоха застоя характеризуется внутренней стабильностью, небывалой коррупцией, низкой производительностью труда, всеобщим дефицитом и зависимостью от экспорта ресурсов. Застойные явления поразили экономику, науку, культуру и общественно-политическую жизнь страны. Характерной чертой этой эпохи стали введенные еще при Сталине, но достигшие небывалого размаха при Брежневе привилегии для партийной номенклатуры и госчиновников, выделявшие их из общей массы населения. В это время окончательно восторжествовал чиновничье-бюрократический дресс-код, с преобладанием черных и темных цветов. Этот стиль остается неизменным и в наши дни. The article shows the evolution of the costume of the leaders of Russia and the Soviet state, from the February Revolution to Perestroika, and the connection between the image of the head of state and the era that it embodies. The image of the leader of the state of the victorious revolution was the image of the “silovik” (power man), dressed in the military style and leading an ascetic lifestyle. Typical objects of the image of a power leader are a french, high boots (leggings), a military-style cap, a khaki or gray raglan cloak, a leather jacket, a smoking pipe, and a chevron mustache. After the victory in the Great Patriotic War, the government abandoned the ascetic image in favor of a pathetic, ceremonial one. In the army, officer ranks, shoulder straps, and stripes were restored, and generals, marshals, and even the Generalissimo reappeared. A special architectural style, informally called the Soviet (Stalinist) Empire, was developed for the construction of important state institutions. Imperial pomp and heaviness, until the Twentieth Congress of the CPSU, became a characteristic feature of the post-war era. In the era of the Thaw, the de-Stalinization and desacralization of power began. The leader of the country, Nikita Khrushchev, abandoned the military style and began to dress exclusively in civilian clothes, reminiscent of everyday home clothes or rural clothes in the Slavic ethnic style. A characteristic part of his outfit was the soulful Ukrainian embroidered shirt, implicitly indicating his Slavic orientation and adherence to a democratic style of government. The desacralization of power, the democratization of society, the weakening of censorship, the broader-than-ever possibility of self-expression undermined the foundations of the power of the bureaucratic apparatus. This inevitably had to lead to a confrontation between officials and Khrushchev, which resulted in the overthrow of the latter. The subsequent era of stagnation is characterized by internal stability, unprecedented corruption, low productivity, general deficit, and dependence on resource exports. Stagnation affected the economy, science, culture, and sociopolitical life of the country. A characteristic feature of this era was the privileges for the party nomenclature and state officials, which distinguished them from the general population. At this time, the official-bureaucratic dress code, with a predominance of black and dark colors, finally prevailed. This style remains unchanged today.

Full textAbstract:
This paper is a logical continuation of our paper The daily life of Franks according to written sources at the time of Gregory of Tours, I: diseases, medicine, hygiene and food. This paper is an attempt to collect and systematize information about the material conditions of life in the Frankish state of the Merovingians in the 6th century in the descriptions of contemporary authors. The choice of the topic is due to the need to compose a complete picture of a persons life from the beginning of the early Middle Ages, which until now has remained poorly researched, unlike the Carolingian period. The sources used are the writings of Gregory of Tours, Venantius Fortunatus, Apollinaris Sidonius, The Chronicle of Fredegar, The History Book of the Franks and others. The paper collects data on the clothes of various population groups, on the weapons and armor of the Franks and the level of military affairs development, on cities and urban life, and some features of the mentality of so far half barbaric society. The collected material allows us to state that: a) the sources of the early Merovingian period, in contrast to the Carolingian era, are distinguished by the extreme scarcity of data in the field of genesis; b) despite a rather primitive look of clothing, it possessed considerable material value, as well as it had a significant essence, c) Roman cities continued to exist on the territory of Gallia, but largely lost their urban character, turning into fortified centers, and c) Christianization had very little influence on the moral character of the Franks; society remained largely barbaric, although some features indicate the beginning of the formation of a new civilization.

Background.Community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) causes skin and soft-tissue infection (SSTI) in military recruits.Objective.To evaluate the effectiveness of 2% Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG)-impregnated cloths in reducing rates of SSTI and S. aureus colonization among military recruits.Design.A cluster-randomized (by platoon), double-blind, controlled effectiveness trial.Setting.Marine Officer Candidate School, Quantico, Virginia, 2007.Participants.Military recruits.Intervention.Application of CHG-impregnated or control (Comfort Bath; Sage) cloths applied over entire body thrice weekly.Measurements.Recruits were monitored daily for SSTI. Baseline and serial nasal and/or axillary swabs were collected to assess S. aureus colonization.Results.Of 1,562 subjects enrolled, 781 (from 23 platoons) underwent CHG-impregnated cloth application and 781 (from 21 platoons) underwent control cloth application. The rate of compliance (defined as application of 50% or more of wipes) at 2 weeks was similar (CHG group, 63%; control group, 67%) and decreased over the 6-week period. The mean 6-week SSTI rate in the CHG-impregnated cloth group was 0.094, compared with 0.071 in the control group (analysis of variance model rate difference, 0.025 ± 0.016; P = .14). At baseline, 43% of subjects were colonized with methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA), and 2.1% were colonized with MRSA. The mean incidence of colonization with MSSA was 50% and 61% (P = .026) and with MRSA was 2.6% and 6.0% (P = .034) for the CHG-impregnated and control cloth groups, respectively.Conclusions.CHG-impregnated cloths applied thrice weekly did not reduce rates of SSTI among recruits. S. aureus colonization rates increased in both groups but to a lesser extent in those assigned to the CHG-impregnated cloth Intervention. Antecedent S. aureus colonization was not a risk factor for SSTI. Additional studies are needed to identify effective measures for preventing SSTI among military recruits.Clinical Trials Registration.ClinicalTrials.gov identifier: NCT00475930.

Interestingly enough, there are many types of penal institutions all over the world. Most of them are overcrowded, and harsh, humiliating conditions and mandatory rules surround the inmates. Other prisons swim on the sea, or located in picturesque environment over the sea or in one of the Tuscan archipelagos, or located in a dukedom. The rest could represent “five star” penal institutions with all amenities, conveniences, and facilities of tennis court, horse riding or swimming in the sea. Eco prisons also exist with solar panels, bio diesel, recycling, and cultivations. Inmates may live in communities, without the supervision of prison wardens and the lack of window-grates, moreover, they move free. They buy their “own cells”, and playing children, stalls, restaurants, hairdresser’s, and even a hotel are in the vicinity of their “cells”. Other penal institutions accommodate the family members as well, which help children bound their convicted parents, and “disguise” the penal institution in order not to face real prison conditions. Even in the middle of the desert, in military tents inmates are located, and dressed in pink clothes to avoid T-shirt theft. Others are locked in a stone desert or far away in Siberia. Whereas one penal institution can locate only two convicts, others may accommodate ten thousand ones. There is a wide spectrum, which can range from the most lenient penal institutions, to the strictest ones.

This paper discusses the issue of “Christian” identity customarily defined by its distinctiveness. I wish to start with a biographical observation: The classics school that I entered in April 1939 in Frankfurt am Main was under the same roof as the Jewish high school. This struck me as very peculiar given the propaganda and political activity of the late thirties in Nazi Germany. The Jewish high school was named after Samson Rafael Hirsch, the famous Jewish scholar and rabbi of nineteenth-century Frankfurt. On our side of the building there was nobody who would answer my questions about the school, and before long the object of my boyish inquisitiveness ceased to exist. As part of the German war machine, a military censorship complex took over the Jewish part of the building and closed the Jewish high school. The Jewish students and their teachers disappeared. We, the students of the non-Jewish part of the building, wondered during study breaks where they and the many Jews in the neighborhood of our school had gone. As the yellow star on the clothes of Jewish fellow citizens appeared, it became very obvious to us youngsters that there were fewer and fewer Jewish people around. As the Nazis established a store “for Jews only” at the trolley stop near our school, the pain and hunger of the people with the Star of David showed more and more on their faces. Their number visibly dwindled.

Full textAbstract:
The article examines the linguistic features of the diary-chronicle “War” by I. Bazhansky, in particular the dialect vocabulary. The language of I. Bazhansky's works is valuable because it allows to draw conclusions about the peculiarities of the Ukrainian language of the early ХХ century on the territory of Bukovina. The relevance of the research is determined by the need of studing of dialectical features of the diary-chronicle“War” by Bukovinian teacher and writer Ivan Bazhanskyi. Exploring the linguistic features of the diary-chronicle requires a comprehensive analysis to make an effective communicative influence on the reader. The aim of scientific work is to analyze phonetic, lexical, word-forming, morphological and syntactic dialectisms in the Ivan Bazhanskyi diary-chronicle “War”. The novelty of research is conditioned by the fact that in the Ukrainian linguistics dialectal phenomena of the Ivan Bazhanskyi diary-chronicle "War" has been explored for the first time. Research methods. In the article as the main general scientific methods of induction and deduction are used, as well as linguistic – descriptive and structural methods. Conclusions. Phonetic and morphological dialectisms recorded in this literary text reflect the basic phonetic and grammatical patterns of Bukovinian dialects. Word-forming dialectisms in modern Bukovinian dialects are obsolete. Among the lexical dialectisms we distinguish the actual lexical and semantic dialectisms. Lexical dialectisms of the diary-chronicle “War” by I. Bazhansky are classified by lexical-thematic groups: LTG of military affairs, LTG of economic sphere of use, abstract names, nominations of a person, names of clothes, nominations of people, etc. Each group includes specific Ukrainian words and borrowed names.

The images are familiar and ineradicable: cities scorched by blasts of tremendous heat, with thousands of civilians vaporized, thousands of others burned and disfigured, landscapes rendered desolate and uninhabitable by radiation; submarines, automobiles, luxury liners, and airplanes powered by clumps of uranium the size of a human fist; homes heated and cooled by limitless supplies of cheap energy drawn from secure reactors; land-based particle beam weapons capable of destroying airborne missiles and thus of providing a protective shield for civilian populations; eccentric physicists with thick central European accents, unkempt hair, ill-fitting clothes, and a crazed gleam of unearthly mischief in their eyes; politicians, civil servants, joint chiefs blinkered by hatred and ambition, ignorant of even the first principles of science and technology, careless of civilians, reckless in brinksmanship, and arrogant in assessments of military capability.Such images, indeed, are part of the consciousness of all citizens of the atomic age: we who have stared at the newsreels of Nagasaki and Chernobyl, sat riveted with John Hersey's unforgettable Hiroshima, laughed over the absurdities of Dr. Strangelove (1964), winced at the smiling publicity of atomic energy authorities or the local power company's plans for a new reactor, trembled at the apprarently inexorable proliferation of nuclear technologies into the Third and Fourth Worlds, or grown angry at the exaggerations—both budgetary and practical—of yet the latest “generation” of weapons systems. And yet the images of obliterated cities, atomic-powered ships, and particle beam weapons—images which have come to define so much of the anxiety as well as opportunity of the postwar world—all existed in the popular consciousness in Britain and America long before August 1945, before, indeed, December 1941 or even September 1939.

In the article a decorative antler plaque with the image of griffin found in 2020 in the unfortified part of the hill-fort near Zarichne village (Trostianetskyi district, Sumy Region) is analyzed. The item comes from an object dated from the 12—13th centuries. General decorating composition of the product is carved in the through groove technique. The main elements of the griffin figure (head, wings, paws and tail) were modeled in low relief technique using elements of incised carving. A possible interpretation of the item is a pendant, bracket or other decorative piece. The style of the griffin image is quite traditional for Ancient Rus plastic art of the 11—13th c. However, the through groove decoration of bone products was not common in the bone carving tradition in the southern regions of Rus. The manufacturing technique of the item may indicate its imported origin (most likely from the Crimea or Bulgaria). It is also possible a local manufacturing as an imitation of the imported sample or by an itinerant craftsman. The symbolic meaning of the griffin images can be reduced to several aspects: 1) the connection with the authorities (governance), including in its sacred aspects (elements of the elite’s ornaments); 2) connection with military symbols (images on belt pads, saddle details); 3) security symbols on details of clothes, jewelry, both male and female; 4) the cosmic symbolism of the griffin (in particular, the image near the “world tree”) is closely related to the above. From the context of a decorative plaque from Zarichne (the unfortified part of the hill-fort, outside the social elite’s objects), one can assume its role as a product that, in addition to a purely aesthetic load, could perform protective functions in the ideas of its owner.

Full textAbstract:
In article the organization of a rationing system in the territory of Krasnodar Krai during the period after the German occupation since February, 1943 is considered. After liberation of Kuban it was necessary to adjust life and work of the big region and also in the shortest possible time to begin supply of food and industrial goods for soldiers of the Red Army. Deliveries of agricultural production laid down a heavy burden on shoulders of the population of the region. In many areas people was on the verge of hunger: crops grain and potatoes in July, 1942 were destroyed by the receding Red Army, and a new harvest wasn’t grown up even on private farmsteads yet; production of trophy food warehouses was given to Red Army men, in areas there was no draft force. For improvement of a situation, in the territory of the region the rationing system which provided distribution of products and essentials among the population was introduced. The fact of restoration of rated supply played the important stabilizing role. Along with a rationing system the Krasnodar krayispolkom made the decision on distribution of the single help in the size of 300 rub to family and also the person in need and children of the military personnel single coupons on receiving a dry ration. Special attention from the regional authorities was paid to children, expressed in the organization of free food, providing with necessary clothes and footwear. In article the measures for toughening of control from the state connected with functioning of the commercial enterprises of food, revelry of the market relations and also moonshinings are considered. The rationing system introduced in Kuban during the period after occupation allowed to stabilize a situation and supported the population during the difficult period.

The article is devoted to the reconstruction of the daily life of female workers of the Ishim shoe factory No. 4 during the Great Patriotic War. To study the everyday life of women during the war years, the office documents of the factory and local authorities, as well as documents of personal origin, are used. The study is based on a historical and anthropological approach to the past. Descriptive method and oral history method are applied. The author comes to the conclusion that thanks to the efforts of women, who were the main labor force of the factory, in a short time the evacuated enterprise not only began to function in a new place, but also became a model for other enterprises of the Ishim region. The women not only over fulfilled the plan for sewing shoes, but also fully met the production needs of the enterprise: they prepared peat and firewood organized vegetable gardens and stored vegetables for the factory canteen. In addition, women were actively involved in social work taking care of the evacuees, collecting money, food and warm clothes for the needs of the front. Along with the development of new social roles by women, they retained their traditional responsibilities related to maintaining a home and raising children. Similar transformations in the social behavior of women occurred against the background of a deterioration in living conditions, a reduction in living standards, a lack of nutrition, and complications of the epidemiological situation. With the complication of her social roles, a woman during the war years carried an important social function associated with the creation of a special spiritual atmosphere, simultaneously reconciling with the brutal military reality and maintaining the hope of a return to peacetime

Full textAbstract:
The article deals with the provision of humanitarian aid to Ukraine by the government and society (citizens) of Italy during the period of Russian armed aggression against Ukraine (2014-2018). Among them are the efforts of the large Ukrainian community in Italy (according to official figures in Italy, there are more than 230 thousand Ukrainians registered). The directions, volumes and methods of relief assistance for Ukrainian military and population in war-affected areas in eastern Ukraine and settlers were analyzed. It was determined that government financial assistance (over 3 million euros was allocated for 2014-2018) during this period came through international humanitarian organizations, which deal with the civilian people affected by the armed conflict and the program of demining of ukrainian territories. The Ukrainian community in Italy provides individual assistance (from individuals) and from organizations (for example, the Congress of Ukrainians in Italy, “EuroMaydan-Rome” and others). Ukrainian communities of entire cities and regions may be involved in collecting a large sum (the most active are Ukrainians in Rome, Brescia, Milan, Naples).Mostly Ukrainians provided cars for units of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and volunteer groups in the area of fighting, equipment, clothes and funds for the needs of Ukrainian defenders, as well as food and gifts for them to holidays, organized humanitarian cargoes for the victims of the war of the population. At the same time, the Ukrainian community in Italy tried to hold public information events in support of Ukraine in the early years of the Russian-Ukrainian War and inform the Italian society and authorities about the events in it.The third source of humanitarian aid for Ukraine in Italy is Italian voluntary associations such as “Italy-Ukraine-Maidan”, which independently delivers the largest humanitarian cargo to the east of Ukraine. Italy’s assistance to Ukraine is considered in the context of the socio-political processes and the foreign policy line of the Italian government. It is determined how the traditional strong ties between Italy and Russia affect for the attitude and assistance to Ukraine.

Background/Aim. In military services, emergency situations when soldiers are exposed to a combination of nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) contamination combined with heat stress, are frequent and complex. In these specific conditions, usage of personal body cooling systems may be effective in reducing heat stress. The present study was conducted in order to evaluate the efficiency of four various types of contemporary personal body cooling systems based on the ?Phase Change Material? (PCM), and its effects on soldiers? subjective comfort and physiological performance during exertional heat stress in hot environments. Methods. Ten male soldiers were voluntarily subjected to exertional heat stress tests (EHSTs) consisted of walking on a treadmill (5.5 km/h) in hot conditions (40?C) in climatic chamber, wearing NBC isolating impermeable protective suits. One of the tests was performed without any additional cooling solution (NOCOOL), and four tests were performed while using different types of cooling systems: three in a form of vests and one as underwear. Physiological strain was determined by the mean skin temperature (Tsk), tympanic temperature (Tty), and heart rate values (HR), while sweat rates (SwR) indicated changes in hydration status. Results. In all the cases EHST induced physiological response manifested through increasing Tty, HR and SwR. Compared to NOCOOL tests, when using cooling vests, Tty and Tsk were significantly lower (on 35th min, for 0.44 ? 0.03 and 0.49 ? 0.05?C, respectively; p < 0.05), as well as the average SwR (0.17 ? 0.03 L/m2/h). When using underwear, the values of given parameters were not significantly different compared to NOCOOL tests. Conclusions. Using a body cooling system based on PCM in the form of vest under NBC protective clothes during physical activity in hot conditions, reduces sweating and alleviates heat stress manifested by increased core and skin temperatures and heart rate values. These effects directly improve heat tolerance, hydration state, decrease in the risk of heat illness, and extends the duration of soldiers? exposure to extreme conditions.

Based on camouflage performance of military tents, camouflage pigments with four colors are chosen. In order to obtain the good camouflage effect, the digital camouflage pattern is designed as well as based on basic features including main colors and texture of the target background. The camouflage pattern is printed on tent cloths with the pigments using rotary screen printing. The tent made from the tent cloth is located in the typical target background. Finally the camouflage effect of the tent is evaluated. The experimental result shows that, the digital camouflage tent is much easier to blend with the natural background, and achieves a good effect of the optical camouflage.

The aim of the survey is to define the types of conceptual metaphors (after A. Chudinov) and to determine the dominant tendencies of their functioning. To achieve the aim, we used the conceptual analysis when determining conceptual models and their classification according to the types. Despite a somewhat indeterminate status of the popular science genre and its place in the structure of media or scientific discourse, scholars agree that such texts are characterized by a simplified presentation of scientific notions that should be easily understood by the audience which does not have the respective scientific background, as well as by the use of stylistic devices to make the text more expressive. In the survey, we have defined that all four types of metaphorical models are used in popular science media texts: anthropomorphous, nature-morphous, sociomorphous and artefact metaphors. Sociomorphous and artefact metaphors have been used most widely. By using sociomorphous metaphors, the authors of popular science texts compare natural phenomena with social relations between people. Namely, the behavior of animals or the functioning of plants is compared with military, sports or professional activity of people. The most prominent type was that of the artefact metaphors. By using such metaphors, authors draw parallels between how the animal world operates or how natural phenomena happen, and how more familiar artificial objects function. The most dominant in this group was the metaphor with the source domain “machine”, which is mapped on such spheres as “natural phenomenon”, “member of the animal world” etc. In addition to this source domain, artefact metaphors also included such concepts as clothes, building, food products. A relatively insignificant number of anthropomorphous and nature-morphous metaphors could be explained by the fact that in order to conceptualize natural phenomena, authors tend to use domains from noncontiguous spheres. The results of the article contribute to better understanding of how popular science texts function. Further research in this direction could be done in the examination of other lingual cognitive features of such texts, namely in researching how conceptual metonymies function here, as well as survey of other stylistically expressive means in these texts.

Full textAbstract:
The article concerns the ornament of the Turkic-speaking population of Western Siberia, namely, the Baraba and Tara Tatars. They represent local groups of Siberian Tatars and live in the territory of modern Novosibirsk and Omsk Regions. The issue of the development of the ornament of the Baraba and Tara Tatars is still open, as the materials of the 17th–18th centuries have yet been little touched upon. Since the end of the 20th century, due to the excavations, such opportunity has presented itself. The objective of this study is to identify ornamental ele-ments, to form a core of the ornament for the Baraba and Tara Tatars, and to consider what became of these elements. Two types of sources were used in the study: archaeological and ethnographic. The archaeological materials are represented by the ornamented ceramics and decorations from the monuments of the Omsk Irtysh and Barabinsk forest-steppe of the 17th–18th centuries. The ethnographic materials date mainly to the end of the 19th–20th centuries and include headdresses, clothes, shoes, and jewelry. We identified elements separately for each complex of objects of the Tara and Baraba Tatars, viz., archaeological and ethnographic, and, based on this, general tables were composed. The objective of the compilation was to identify similar ornamental base, which made it possible to identify common elements inherent to the Baraba and Tara Tatars, and elements spe-cific to only one group. As a result, significant similarity in the elements, motifs, zonality, and composition were observed. This similarity appears within the archaeologically recorded time and in the 19th–20th centuries. Ethno-cultural, social, family-marital relations, political and military actions, and migration to each other's territory were determining assimilation of the cultural traits. Meanwhile, the cultures of the Baraba and Tara Tatars had diffe-rences, which were due to their ethnocultural contacts. In the case of the Tara Tatars, this is manifested in a wider use of combed stamps. Their crockery featured a variety of compositions of the elements. Ceramics of the Baraba Tatars, on the contrary, was decorated with impressions and figured stamps. In the 19th–20th centuries, the orna-ment of the Baraba Tatars is distinguished by the use of wavy lines and corniform elements. Their ornamentation is characterized by geometrization (simple figures and complex elements). The ornament of the Tara Tatars is characterized by the use of floral motifs.

The paper discusses the development trends of the available thesis studies, which fully discuss the participation of women in the times of World War I. The methodological basis of the paper is formed by general scientific and special historical methods of logical and historiographical analysis.The papers for analysis reveal the history of women in two hostilestates, namelythe Russian and Austro-Hungarian Empires. It has been determined that there have beenwritten just a few thesis paperson gender-based issuesof the period of World War I. This is currently a developing. The available studies have demonstrated that the history of women during World War I has been generally explored in the context of acts of charity and solving the everyday issues of the war-engulfed towns. It has been proven that women did not occupy a passive position in the times of war. On the contrary, they took it upon themselves to aid as much as possible and performed the generally attributed “male” functions. The scholars are unanimous in their claims that World War I challenged the society's viewpointas to the status of women. The woman was forced to run her own household and at the same timebe the breadwinner for the family. Society did not condemn such zest, but on the contrary, encouraged women's work. Women began to master new professions, which previously were considered fit only for males. A woman working at the factory, or the railroad has become a commonplace phenomenon. Business ownersused this to their own benefit. Women were paid much less than men, allowing owners to save a substantial amount. Most women distinguished themselves by doing charity. Here, theywere able to show their talents and abilities most. Women of the royal family, nobility, the intellectual elite, and peasantry worked side by side for the benefit of their own military, wounded, and refugees. «Women's Committees» took over the guardianship of families that moved and lost almost everything; took care of the children left without parents, and women who lost their husbands. These committees watched over the production of clothes for the army and refugees, collected funds for pharmaceuticals for various medical institutions. Hospitals, shelters, dormitories had their own female guardian, who saw to the order and life of these «wards». At the front lines, in hospitals, in the places of refugee dislocations they helped with the functioning of the Russian Red Cross Society. The latter attracted not only experienced nurses, but also prepared and conducted training for all those interested. The Russian Red Cross Society had its own affiliations work closely with the local women's committees, opened refugee stations, created points of evacuation, collected funds for various needs, organized charity events. Some women scoured the front lines and defended their Fatherland. The scholars provide data on 37 women which served their country at the front lines as part of the medical teams. Among them were Elena Stepaniv, Sofia Galechko and many others. Whereas Evdokiya Chernyavskya from Odessa disguised herself as a man and went to serve in the Russian military. The focus on specific aspects of World War I allowed to reveal the other side of war, showing that it was not only a males bidding. Women did not stay aloof. Historysaw to it that women were represented both as certain communities the, women's organizations, society, committees and also the contributions of each and every individual. Yelizaveta Volodymyrivna, Efrosynia Mykolayivna, Olga Tereshchenko, Varvara Khannenko, Duchess M.O. Svyatopolk-Mirsky, Countess Tolstaya, Princess Demidova San Donato, Princess Branycka, Elyzaveta, and Vira Lopukhin-Demidov were unveiled as well-known philanthropists.They opened hospitalsin their estates,and workshops for the manufacture of medical instruments. At their own expense they tended to the wounded, and if it was necessary, helped out themselves in hospitals. The analysis of the available thesis papers has shown that it is necessary to conduct a historical analysis on the role ofwomen during World War I. Many issues have remained unpublished, thus there are many possibilities for further research.

Full textAbstract:
The study of range of joint motion is of theoretical and practical interest to basic research, workspace design, rehabilitation, and mathematical models. Nude range of motion has been extensively explored, whereas range of motion under clothed conditions, although equally important in applications, has received less attention. A project was designed to investigate modern instrumentation and methodologies for examining clothed range of joint motion. An empirical study was conducted using three distinct techniques simultaneously, involving 6 subjects, two military ensembles, and 46 planar motions. The results of the study showed one of the techniques, a computerized six-degree-of-freedom electromagnetic tracker, to be superior for joint motion applications under clothed conditions. Customized physical modifications and software were implemented to adapt the device for physiological applications, and algorithms were created for extracting joint motion information. Standardized procedures for performance strategies were defined. Recommendations were also given for the use of the other two techniques in applications having different requirements.

Full textAbstract:
Background.Methicillin-resistantStaphylococcus aureus(MRSA) pulsed-field type (PFT) USA300 causes skin and soft tissue infections in military recruits and invasive disease in hospitals. Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) is used to reduce MRSA colonization and infection. The impact of CHG on the molecular epidemiology of MRSA is not known.Objective.To evaluate the impact of 2% CHG—impregnated cloths on the molecular epidemiology of MRSA colonization.Design.Cluster-randomized, double-blind, controlled trial.Setting.Marine Officer Candidate School, Quantico, Virginia, in 2007.Participants.Military recruits.Intervention.Thrice-weekly application of CHG-impregnated or control (Comfort Bath; Sage) cloths over the entire body.Measurements.Baseline and serial (every 2 weeks) nasal and/or axillary swab samples were assessed for MRSA colonization. Molecular analysis was performed with pulsed-field gel electrophoresis.Results.During training, 77 subjects (4.9%) acquired MRSA, 26 (3.3%) in the CHG group and 51 (6.5%) in the control group (P= .004). When analyzed for PFT, 24 subjects (3.1%) in the control group but only 6 subjects (0.8%) in the CHG group (P= .001) had USA300. Of the 167 colonizing isolates recovered from 77 subjects, 99 were recovered from the control group, including USA300 (40.4%), USA800 (38.4%), USA1000 (12.1%), and USA100 (6.1%), and 68 were recovered from the CHG group, including USA800 (51.5%), USA100 (23.5%), and USA300 (13.2%).Conclusions.CHG decreased the transmission of MRSA—more specifically, USA300—among military recruits. In addition, USA300 and USA800 outcompeted other MRSA PFTs at incident colonization. Future studies should evaluate the broad-based use of CHG to decrease transmission of USA300 in hospital settings.

Full textAbstract:
В статье показано, что борьба курэш у башкир, как в прошлом, так и настоящем бытует в двух основных вариантах. Первый представляет собой единоборство на поясах, привычное на Сабантуях и других общественных праздниках, проводимое в летнее время года. Второй вариант — борьба всадников в зимние месяцы, где ставится задача под всеобщее одобрение собравшихся стащить противника с седла на землю. Целью статьи является анализ материалов, свидетельствующих об участии женщин в представленных видах спортивных состязаний. Задачами исследования стало сопоставление сведений, содержащихся в фольклорных источниках, полевых материалах, научных работах; анализ аналогичных явлений в культурах других народов; определение причин сохраняемости архаичных традиций в современных условиях. Установлено, что в традиционном башкирском обществе, когда женщины нередко занимались охотой в табунным скотоводством, участвовали в военном деле, когда благополучие социума обеспечивалось хорошей физической подготовкой и мобильностью всех ее членов, выработались обычаи участия детей обоих полов в разнообразных спортивных забавах, в числе которых была борьба на поясах и стаскивание всадника с седла. По историческим преданиям и сказкам нередко девушки не уступали в этих видах спорта мужчинам. По фольклорным материалам, у башкир устраивалось единоборство между женихом и невестой или между женихами как условие заключения брачного союза. По этнографическим сведениям, борьба была включена в башкирский свадебный ритуал, проводилась между женщинами — представителями родов невесты и жениха. Современные исследования показали, что в башкирском селении Арасланова Щучанского района Курганской области до сих пор на Сабантуе практикуется борьба между женщинами. Причина сохранения этого обычая заключается в относительной природно-географической изолированности башкирских зауральских селений, удаленности от центров урбанизации, что ослабило влияние ислама и государственной идеологии. Женская борьба курэш в указанном селении проводится по старым правилам, то есть без деления на весовые и возрастные группы, прямо на траве вблизи зрителей, в повседневной или национальной одежде. The article shows that the kuresh wrestling exists in two main variants among Bashkirs, both in the past and in the present. The first is a wrestling on belts, the usual drinking bouts and other public celebrations, held in the summer. The second option is the fight of riders in the winter months, where the task is to pull the enemy from the saddle to the ground under the general approval of the audience. The purpose of the article is to analyze the materials showing the participation of women in these types of wrestling. The study showed that in the traditional Bashkir society, women often engaged in hunting, herd cattle breeding, and participated in military affairs. In conditions when the well-being of society ensured by good physical fitness and mobility of all its members, customs were developed for children of both sexes to participate in various sports, including belt wrestling and pulling the rider from the saddle. According to historical legends and fairy tales, girls were often not inferior to men in these sports. The article provides examples of martial arts during wedding rituals between women-representatives of the bride and groom's families. The wrestling matches between the bride and groom or between the grooms are described as a condition for entering into a marriage union. It shown, that in the Bashkir village of Araslanov in the Shchuchansky district of the Kurgan region, a fight between women is still practiced during Kargatuy. The reason for the preservation of the custom is the natural and geographical isolation of the Bashkir Trans-Ural villages, remoteness from the centers of urbanization, which weakened the influence of Islam and state ideology. Women's wrestling kuresh in the specified village carried out according to the old rules, that is, without division into weight and age groups, directly on the grass near the audience, in everyday or national clothes.

Full textAbstract:
Japan's defeat and occupation demanded a reckoning by each of the nation's elites. Engineers were no different. As an institution of national development and expansion, engineering had prospered from the government's dreams of military conquest and regional domination. Throughout the 1930s, as the government prepared for and subsequently engaged in war, engineers provided the immediate means not only to arm and clothe Japan's armed forces but also to plan, organize, and implement national mobilization. Broadly put, the goals of the engineer were inseparable from the goals of the state. With defeat came occupation. Led by the Americans, the Occupation forces initially focused their reform activities on Japanese education, law, agriculture, and labor.

Full textAbstract:
From the inception of its military campaign into Central Asia via the Gansu corridor, the Tang dynasty had to ensure the shipment of extensive military supplies to support the activities of its occupying armies north and south of the Tianshan Mountains. Since the government paid soldiers’ salaries and bought supplies using silk, the timely delivery of silk from central China was critical. Most of the silk was collected in the central provinces under the zuyongdiao 租庸調 tax system, whether as stipulated payments of tax textiles or cloth-paid-in-place-of-annual-corvée tax. All this silk had to be shipped to the Western Regions. This article examines where this silk was made, how it was shipped to the north-west and how the system changed over time.

Full textAbstract:
Israel's May 1999 elections featured three newly retired generals, including Ehud Barak, a former chief of staff who was elected prime minister. There was consensus among most political analysts that Barak was elected primarily because of his military background. Moreover, a wellorchestrated public-relations campaign presented Barak as the most likely candidate to revive the peace process that his military commander, Yitzhak Rabin, had started. Few questioned, however, that military credentials have become almost a prerequisite to holding political office in Israel or that someone who devoted most of his life to war-making is indeed the best person to lead a peacemaking process. It would be quite difficult to understand the centrality of the military in Israeli politics, as in almost any other sphere of life, without paying close attention to the processes and practices that have shaped Israeli militarism over time. By providing readers with both the historical context and the socio-political background, Uri Ben-Eliezer's The Making of Israeli Militarism enables us to come to terms with how the “military way,” as he refers to it, came to dominate Israeli politics in general and its relationships with its neighbors in particular.

IntroductionChemical, biological, radiological and nuclear (CBRN) cases are seen as an increasing risk because of the increasing threat of international terrorism. Decontamination is one of the basic components of the intervention for CBRN exposure. The introduction portable decontamination unit in the hospital setting is described in this presentation.MethodThe general properties, facilities, and capabilities of the portable decontamination unit, which is present in the GATA CBRN Department of the Turkish Armed Force's Health Command, were evaluated.ResultsThe portable decontamination unit in the hospital has a metal frame that is 54 m2 wide. It is composed of two tents that weigh about 300 kg. The metal frame, metal legs, and tent cloth are stored in carrying bags. Four people can construct the tents in 10 minutes. An educated squad of four people can prepare the decontamination system and instructions in 25–30 minutes. The unit consists of two lines: one for outpatients and another for inpatient decontamination, which includes a rail system. Each decontamination line contains an undressing, shower, and dressing section.DiscussionAlong with metal-framed decontamination tents, there also are inflatable tents. The inflatable decontamination units can be pitched in 5–7 minutes by an electrical air compressor. Metal-framed tents are easy to carry, as the frame, metal legs, and tent cloth are stored in carrying bags. By pitching the decontamination tent on a smooth ground in front of the hospital entrance, decontamination of patients can be completed before they reach the hospital. Another decontamination unit is in place next to the emergency department.ConclusionTerrorist attacks that result in mass casualties demonstrate the importance of CBRN preparedness. A decontamination unit and an appropriate CBRN preparedness plan should be constituted into the basic treatment system.
