Abstract:
Armed forces are currently in the environment with moral ambiguity and multiple cultures. In face of the chaos, corruption, and wasteful trend in current social value system, continuous conflict is bothering the cultivation and atmosphere of military character. Under the situation, officers and soldiers could easily fall into bad belief and become indifferent to surrounding affairs with apathy. Various military discipline events appear in domestic armed forces in past years; besides, the exaggeration and report of print media and electronic media, and even some officers and soldiers spilling, smearing, and slandering each other to defile others’ innocence destroy the image of armed forces. Military character presents close relations with integrity building action. Aiming at military personnel in Ministry of National Defense, total 420 copies of questionnaire are distributed, and 347 valid copies are retrieved, with the retrieval rate 83%. The research results are summarized as below. Factors in the effectiveness of armed forces personnel’s anti-corruption governance contain micro aspects of lack of legal and disciplinary ideas and value deviation of armed forces personnel as well as macro aspect of complicated approval operation and rules resulting in lobbying interfering businesses. The effectiveness of armed forces personnel’s anti-corruption governance not being affirmed by the society is related to the engagement of supervisors at all levels in anti-corruption work, as armed forces personnel are restricted to the political environment and aging senior customs personnel that the director’s engagement in anti-corruption work is not manifested. Armed forces personnel involving in internal anti-corruption problems are minimized to largely reduce the effectiveness of anti-corruption governance. According to the results, suggestions are proposed, expecting to improve problems resulted from military discipline and to promote the armed forces’ image of integrity, being close to the people, and loving the people.

Abstract:
The processes of forced internal migration, which became significant in 2014 as a result of the armed conflict in the east of the country, caused significant demographic and social changes in the regions performance. Particularly large changes have been taken place in the areas directly adjacent to the joint forces operation zone. The study is devoted to the research of the impact of the described processes on certain aspects of social and economic security of the regions. Impact assessment was performed on the basis of cluster analysis. In particular, the author constructed a neural network such as the Kohonen map. The model divided the neural sample from 25 regions (24 regions and the city of Kyiv) into six clusters according to the level of four indicators of social and economic security. This allowed assessing the impact of forced internal migration on some aspects of social and economic security of the regions. Based on the obtained map, it has been depicted that Donetsk and Luhansk regions, which directly border the joint forces operation zone, had a dramatic increase in the demographic burden and unemployment rate during the study period. The obtained results allowed assessing the impact of the processes of forced internal migration on the dynamics of certain indicators of social and economic security of the territories.

Abstract:
Eating behavior is a selection of definite food subconsciously aimed at meeting physiological needs from main nutrients and energy. Genetic aspects of human metabolism as well as various environmental factors including social-psychological factors have a significant impact on the appearance and a further retention of definite food excesses of each person. Healthy lifestyle promotion (including compliance with nutrition prescription, preference to balanced daily rations cor responding with the level of daily energy needs) helps to form human eating behavior based on nutrition laws that promotes preservation and strengthening of public health (the military personnel). Formation of proper eating behavior may become an important preventive measure for preservation and strengthening of the health of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and the Navy of the Russian Federation. Increasing of daily energy needs due to introduction of new model of physical fitness in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation exerts a considerable impact on an eating behavior in the military personnel. Correction of an eating behavior in the military draft servicemen in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation as well as observance of the principles of healthy nutrition may be conducted by means of outreach interviews with specified cohort. Possible changes in eating behavior may be monitored using special tests and questionnaires allowing to execute its overall assessment. Dynamic assessment of eating behavior may take rightful place in the system of scientific study of lifestyle of the military and also be in active use on further improvement of food service system of the Armed Forces of the RF and the Navy of the RF. Significance of assessment of eating behavior in the military will not be irrelevant in the near future but, to the contrary, will gradually increase in connection with advances in science, promotion of food fit to personal genetic aspects and improvement of food service system of the Army Forces of the RF.

Abstract:
The article is devoted to the problem of psychological support of military personnel of special units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which is relevant in the context of the new Regulation on the Psychological Service of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in 2021. The content of the main tasks and functions of the psychological service of the Armed Forces is presented. Special attention is paid to the description of psychological support and the specifics of its implementation in the system of personnel work and combat service in the Armed Forces. On the example of psychological support of military personnel of special units, the activities that are aimed at social and psychological adaptation of military personnel; didactic adaptation of military personnel; the possibility of professional self-determination; the opportunity to develop professional skills; correction and improvement of the work of the command staff are identified. The conditions for the implementation of psychological support for military personnel of special units are described. As a result of the study, it is established that during the last decade, the problem of theoretical and methodological justification of psychological support continues to be relevant. At the present stage, "psychological support" is considered as a multi-faceted phenomenon, widely used in various aspects of life. The formation of the conceptual and categorical apparatus is also aimed at improving the legal culture while improving the regulatory legal framework for the departmental psychological practice of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.

Abstract:
There is little empirical evidence of the widely shared belief that most civilians know next to nothing about defense policy and armed forces. This article examines knowledge of defense policy in Germany and its determinants. The database is a public opinion survey from 2016. The survey included six questions on various aspects of knowledge of defense policy. Its results show that knowledge of defense policy is approximately on a level with general political knowledge in Germany. Determinants from the categories of resources and sociodemographics, motivations, and opportunity structures explain individual knowledge levels. Internal efficacy, interest in politics, the intention to vote, and the perception of the Bundeswehr’s presence in the media are among the most important predictors. These results indicate that the armed forces can bridge the gap between the public and the military, the civil–military gap, by being present in society and active in personal and mass media communication.

Abstract:
In the scientific article the training of future officers for professional activity in military lyceums is considered as not only theoretical but also practical component, because without the theoretical component in combination with practice it is impossible to orient properly in the educational process of higher military educational institutions and military training units of higher educational institutions during the training of tactical level officers and the assessment of training final results. The training of future officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine for professional activity in military lyceum is considered and scientifically substantiated both as a purpose and as a result of professional training. Since the main purpose of any higher military educational institution is to prepare the graduates for professional activity, the main guideline and basis for solving the problems of training of future officers for professional activity should undoubtedly be the essence of this activity, which reflects the set of its deep connections, relations and internal laws. The detailed analysis of the scientific works provided grounds to substantiate the author's determination of training of future officers of the Armed Forces for professional activity in military lyceum, which provides the formation of a holistic personal education as a result of special professional and psychological-pedagogical professional training, which ensures the transition to a qualitatively new form of activity for the cadet as a future officer of the Armed Forces and it is a set of interdependent and interconnected components: motivational-value, cognitive and reflexive. The criterias of readiness for professional activity of an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine as an important and defining feature that characterizes various qualitative aspects, essences and specifics of professional activity of a serviceman are evaluated. The professional activity of an officer of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in a military lyceum is characterized by a high degree of social responsibility, conservatism of values and clear regulation of the conditions for its implementation. In the professional environment of the military lyceum, the role of socially conditioned characteristics and conditions of activity of both faculty that includes officers of the Armed Forces, and pupils (lyceum students) is significantly increasing. It follows that mastering the profession of an officer of the Armed Forces is not only the ability to effectively perform duties, but also the adoption of the appropriate lifestyle, way of thinking, system of norms and values by a future officer.

Abstract The topic “the War of the Future” is and will always be a current issue of high relevance for both military staff and politicians. The war is a complex social phenomenon determined by many factors: political, economic, cultural, religious, technological, etc., which in the context of globalization suffer rapid and profound transformations. Due to changes in these factors, everything that is related to the armed forces is inevitably altered and here we refer to: dimensions, structures, training, equipment and weapons, doctrines, organizing, planning and the spatial and temporal magnitude of military actions and operations, their effects and, of course, consequences.

Abstract:
This study aims to investigate how social media are used to communicate organizational identity and image. The studied research question is how do young adults perceive the identity and image of the Swedish Armed Forces (SAF) through the organization's use of social media. The research on organizational identity within government agencies and people’s perception on organizations is limited. Therefore, we aim to expand the research on this subject using organizational identity as a theoretical concept. As organizations exists in the social context of today’s digital society, it is valuable to investigate how an organization’s identity and image is perceived externally. We conducted semi-structured reflective interviews with young adults and with an organization representative. Our findings show that young adults view the SAF’s social media use to improve their image and for recruitment purposes. In conclusion, our findings show that this social media use and perceptions of it, are reflective with the theories of organizational identity and image and highlights the importance of the external organizational image.

Abstract:
This thesis examines the phenomenon of child-soldiering from a different perspective. It seeks to challenge, using a novel approach, earlier studies on the roles of former child-soldiers in post-war societies. It focuses on the subjectivity of young veterans, that is war veterans formerly associated with armed forces and groups as children during the 14-year gruesome civil war which bedevilled Liberia between 1989 and 2003. This civil war claimed roughly 250,000 lives, and saw the active participation of approximately 21,000 child-soldiers. This thesis departs from previous works which mostly painted an apocalyptic picture of young veterans, and explores the nexus between their self-agency, Foucauldian technologies of the self and their transformation in the post-war society. The majority of previous scholarly works which have dominated the field of child-soldiering dwelt on the impact of armed conflict on the child-soldiers, the negative consequences, the causes of child-soldiering, and the rehabilitation and reintegration of the young veterans after their disarmament and demobilization. What this thesis seeks to do however, is to establish that, rather than considering the young veterans simply as social misfits, distraught and dispirited human beings, it should be noted that young veterans through their agency, are capable of ensuring their reintegration into their war-ravaged societies. Sadly, these young former fighters’ self-agency and technologies of the self in defining their civilian trajectories have often been overshadowed by vaunted humanitarian aid and multilayered war-profiteering. This study is underpinned by interpretive constructivism, symbolic interactionism, social identity theory, sociometer theory and expectancy theory, and sheds light on how young veterans’ self-agency, instrumental coalitions, and decision-making processes, synergistically shifted the negative identities foisted on them as a result of their participation in the war.

Abstract:
This thesis is an exploration of the construction of the gendered body in combat in the late twentieth century, in Australia and the United States of America. While it is not a military history, aspects of military history, and representations of war and warriors are used as the vehicle for the analysis of the politics of representing gender. The mythic, the material and the media(ted) body of the gendered warrior are examined in the realms of ‘real’ military histories and news coverage, and in the ‘speculative’ arena of popular culture. Through this examination, the continuities and ruptures inherent in the gendered narratives of war and warriors are made apparent, and the operation of the politics of representing gender in the public arena is exposed. I have utilised a number of different approaches from different disciplines in the construction of this thesis: feminist and non-feminist responses to women in the military; aspects of military histories and mythologies of war specific to Australia and the United States; theories on the construction of masculinities and femininities; approaches to gender identity in popular news media, film and television. Through these approaches I have sought to bring together the history of women in the military institutions of Australia and the United States, and examine the nexus between the expansion of women’s military roles and the emergence of the female warrior hero in popular culture. I have, as a result, analysed the constructions of masculinity and femininity that inform the ongoing association of the military with ‘quintessential masculinity’, and deconstructed the real and the mythic corporeal capacities of the gendered body so important to warrior identity. Regardless, or perhaps because of, the importance of gender politics played out in and through the representations of soldier identity, all their bodies must be considered speculative.

Abstract:
Au cours de ces dernières années, les forces armées de différents pays ont de plus en plus été amenées à travailler sur les mêmes théâtres d’opérations. Cette collaboration militaire multinationale, même si elle n’est pas souhaitée par tous, s’est généralisée à l’ensemble des missions militaires. C’est ce cadre multinational et de spécialisation croissante, mais aussi le caractère interagence à travers les contacts entretenus avec les intervenants civils et les populations locales qui caractérisent les missions actuelles. Et, même si les décisions d’engagement restent fixées en dernier ressort par les gouvernements nationaux, la configuration multinationale et modulaire des forces armées est devenue inévitable. Aussi, en choisissant comme objet d’étude les militaires belges déployés dans des opérations militaires multinationales, on s’est attaché à analyser, d’une part, comment se passe le travail dans ces environnements à risques et fortement diversifiés et, d’autre part, le type de collaboration observée entre les contingents nationaux.

Tout comme les autres organisations, les armées de différents pays se regroupent au sein de task forces spécifiques et temporaires qui nécessitent une configuration organisationnelle plus flexible ainsi qu’une culture d’organisation davantage adaptée à ces nouveaux cadres de travail. Aussi, l’objectif de la première partie est, précisément, de se pencher sur ces deux dimensions, structurelle et culturelle, de l’organisation militaire belge pour comprendre ensuite les interactions sociales observées dans les milieux opérationnels étudiés. Dans un premier chapitre, on s’attache à montrer les changements rencontrés dans la plupart des organisations militaires des pays industrialisés mais aussi, plus spécifiquement, les réformes institutionnelles entreprises pour moderniser les forces armées belges. Le deuxième chapitre aborde ensuite les éléments culturels que l’on retrouve au cœur de l’organisation militaire. Traditionnellement considérée comme un ensemble homogénéisé par une culture organisationnelle forte et cohésive, dans une perspective de différenciation, on relèvera les éléments croissants de diversité culturelle interne qui rendent l’organisation plus diverse tout en rendant la coordination de l’ensemble plus délicate.

La deuxième partie- empirique- aborde trois études de cas qui ont été menées dans un contexte géographique et institutionnel particulier :en Afghanistan pour la mission ISAF, au Liban pour la mission UNIFIL et en Bosnie-Herzégovine pour la mission Althea. Au niveau de la récolte des données, l’approche méthodologique suivie est de nature essentiellement inductive et combine différentes méthodes de récolte de données (observation et entretiens sur le terrain, questionnaires quantitatifs, rapports de lessons learned, articles de presse, etc.). En procédant par analyses comparatives et en se basant sur les récits, les pratiques observées, les conversations informelles, ces approches permettent de mieux comprendre la perception subjective de la réalité sociale par les militaires ainsi que les interactions observées. Les données relatives à la mission menée par l’OTAN en Afghanistan ont été collectées à Kaboul où les militaires belges étaient déployés sur l’aéroport aux côtés d’une trentaine de nations. Ces données ont notamment servi de base pour appliquer le modèle des rôles managériaux de Mintzberg à des managers belges opérant dans des circonstances exceptionnelles. Dans un second temps, on s’est également penché sur l’étude des équipes de reconstruction provinciale qui ont été déployées dans la plupart des provinces afghanes et sur la délicate collaboration entre les acteurs civils et militaires à Kunduz. La deuxième étude de cas, relative à la mission de l’ONU au sud-Liban, s’intéresse d’une part à la cohabitation belgo-polonaise au camp de Tibnine et, d’autre part, au fonctionnement de l’état-major multinational de la force à Naqoura. Enfin, le séjour en Bosnie-Herzégovine a permis d’étudier le déploiement de militaires belges dans un cadre européen, sous l’égide de l’EUFOR. Le troisième et dernier chapitre de cette partie fait, en quelque sorte, la synthèse des différents éléments, théoriques et empiriques, relevé et les combine dans une tentative de modélisation théorique des principaux facteurs de coopération militaire multinationale.

Sur base de nombreux extraits des données recueillies in situ, ce travail s’attache à montrer que la multinationalisation des milieux militaires opérationnels présente non seulement des avantages mais aussi de nouveaux challenges. Elle est ainsi fortement appréciée par les ‘petits’ pays, comme la Belgique, qui peuvent ainsi prendre part simultanément à différentes missions en mettant à disposition des capacités limitées mais spécialisées dans certaines niches de compétences. A travers les synergies opérées, ces formes de collaboration permettent de limiter les coûts liés aux déploiements opérationnels tout en assurant une certaine crédibilité par rapport aux engagements internationaux. Toutefois, même si cette multinationalisation est plus fréquente que par le passé, en raison de difficultés diverses (linguistiques, logistiques, caveats, etc.), elle reste encore souvent marginale au niveau des plus petites unités organisationnelles. C’est généralement à partie d’un certain niveau hiérarchique ou de spécialisation que l’on retrouve des militaires étrangers travaillant dans des équipes multinationales. Le fait que la majorité des militaires belges continuent surtout à travailler avec des collègues nationaux n’implique pas pour autant qu’ils n’ont aucun contact avec les militaires étrangers. Vivant dans des espaces confinés et, à l’exception des contacts virtuels avec la famille et les proches, les relations avec les autres militaires représentent leur seule vie sociale pendant plusieurs mois et c’est donc aussi et surtout à ce niveau que l’influence du contexte multinational se fait sentir.

Dans la lignée de d’Iribarne qui parlait de logique de l’arrangement en faisant référence à la culture belge, les comportements des militaires semblent autant régulés par cette conception particulière de la coopération et cette recherche d’accords informels que par le respect des ordres. Mais c’est sans doute aussi le sentiment d’appartenir à une organisation militaire dont l’influence est plus limitée qui semble encourager ses membres à adopter des comportements propices au développement de relations inter-organisationnelles ou de ce que l’on a qualifié de logique de la débrouillardise.

Full text
Abstract:
Within this culture there is a protected version of masculinity. Military rituals, rites, practices, values and structure reflect accepted conceptions of masculinity and femininity. Through focusing on social representations (Moscovici, 1984; 1988b) as a system of ideas, practices and values, this study questions how social representations act to establish an order that allows military men to orientate themselves in their social and material world. What are the strategies that military personnel enact in attempting to develop and sustain a masculine identity? What are and how do specific aspects of military culture contribute to the construction of military masculinities? And how do female military personnel resist or adopt masculine discourses or identities? 71 semi-structured interviews were conducted with 53 male and 18 female personnel of various ranks working in the Army, Navy and Royal Air Force. Six focus groups were also carried out (10 male, 6 female). The results were analysed using Atlas ti, a computer package designed for analysing qualitative data. Analyses of the present narratives have indicated that an outcome of militarisation is the construction of military masculinities. The military rebuilds or reframes masculinities as a means of meeting the aims of the process of militarisation. Further to this, dimensions of military masculinities can be distinguished as, a) qualities and attributes, and b) distinctive in practice. In particular, discipline and interdependence, and the initial military training played a prominent role in the development of hegemonic military masculinities. Through employing the theory of social representations, this study explored how individuals and groups construct out of the diversity and unfamiliarity of a military social space, a predictable stable world.

Abstract:
This study was conducted to estabilish the validity of the Turkish Armed Forces Personality Battery (TAFPB) in selecting Turkish Air Force Academy (TAFA) cadets. Before the data collection some items of TAFPB were made suitable for the TAFA cadets by SME&rsquo
s. Data were collected from first, second and third year students on TAFPB, 16 PF, psychomotor scores and objective and subjective performance measures. The data of 647 TAFA cadets were evaluated. The correlation matrixes, means and SD&rsquo
S of this study is found consistent with the TAFPB applications of Sumer et al. (2000) and Kale (2004) in military settings. TAFPB is face valid because of the common aims of TAFA and TAFPB, selecting ideal officer. TAFPB is content valid because all traits are determined by using job analysis and the relevance and importance of the traits are scored by SME&rsquo
s. Criterion-related validity was measured by analysing the correlations of TAFPB with objective (academic and sport score) and subjective (commander evaluation, flight, military score) performance. Correlations, and a series of regressions pointed out that TAFPB predicts significantly objective performance. TAFPB has incremental validity over 16 PF and BSI in explaining objective performance. The source and class variances were compared by ANOVA. Cadets from military source had significantly higher scores on 11 factors of TAFPB and on performance factors. Moreover they got significantly low scores on BSI. Military high school graduates seems more preferable by selecting cadets. To conclude, TAFPB is a valid test for TAFA.

Full text
Abstract:
From the aftermath of Suez to the Kosovo campaign, Britain lost most of its colonies and ended up taking a moral interventionist stance on the world stage with the US its major ally. Against that contextual background, this thesis considers the attitudes in Britain towards its Armed Forces and war from 1960 to 2000. Using a range of lenses, the paper highlights the complexity of change. Homosexuality was a scandalous issue for society in the 1960s, such that the 1967 Act which decriminalised it was not really widely accepted. For the Armed Forces, searches for homosexuals increased on grounds of security. The Act of Remembrance, as recorded in churches, shows the mixed approach of the clergy to war, particularly dependent on their own experience, and also the change in mood from a religious service to a secular one. In the notable campaigns that did take place over the period, Borneo, the Falklands, Bosnia, Kosovo and the Gulf War, a methodical view is taken of opinion polls, press coverage, and letters pages to establish trends at the political, elite and public levels. The media has been used as a reference throughout the thesis as a measure of opinion, but here is analysed for its own biases and approaches, since it has a clear effect on people’s opinions, both from fiction and fact. Overall, the thesis paints a complex web of declining interest in defence issues, greater self-interest amongst many, increasing secularisation, and greater tolerance, yet conversely, points to underlying themes of pride in individual servicemen and the institution of the Armed Forces.

Abstract:
This thesis is an empirical study of responses to domestic abuse in marriages between civilian women, and men serving in the British Armed Forces. It draws on 45 in-depth interviews with victim-survivors and perpetrators of abuse and with support workers in both military and civilian roles. The thesis is informed by feminist theorisations of domestic abuse which identify the gender inequalities at its roots. I explore the ways in which aspects of everyday militarism shape responses to domestic abuse in this context, including the impact both of hegemonic forms of military gendered identity, and of the structural violences which shape the lives of civilian women married to servicemen in the British military. In addition, I draw attention to some of the depoliticising ways in which the causes of domestic abuse have been understood within the British military community, and point to the impact that these depoliticising notions have on broader attempts to engage politically with domestic abuse and with militarism. The thesis highlights the linkages which exist between multiple forms of gendered violence which occur on different ‘scales’ from the intimate to the global. I draw connections between the gendered project of militarism and the everyday gendered relations of inequality which shape the social contexts in which the individuals who participated in the study responded to abuse. I argue that the common failure to recognise and to respond to domestic abuse as a gendered social and political problem in this context serves to both depoliticise and to reproduce everyday forms of militarism and thus, that it plays a role in the enabling of the use of armed violence on the geopolitical stage.

Abstract:
This paper aims to provide insight into the repercussions of the recent changes in power structures and economic system in Bulgaria on the architectural features of public spaces in the city center. Within the general instability and confusion, increasing deterioration of the public domain is observed and this is interpreted as a field of opportunities through which the meaning of architectural environment as support of public life and its social significance could be regained. Whether and how this potential can turn into quality depends on a variety of factors, some of which are suggested as areas of inquiry. These include value systems of the society and the architectural practice respectively and their relationship. The architectural environment cannot fully determine the public life of a city, rather it can support the attainment of the practical and spiritual needs of people, expanding experience while allowing for dwelling. In a general condition of confusion and deterioration observable in almost every aspect of life in Bulgaria resulting from the fragmentation of power, the change of the economic system and the instability of values, the weight of responsibility concerning the qualities of public space tends to shift. It is important to identify the changing features of public space in relation to the forces effecting them. Thus directions of inqulry into conditions promoting positive developments could be recognized in terms of aspects of cultural wealth of the society as well as in terms of reassessing the role of the architect-planner.

Abstract:
The analysis of space comes from its importance in people's daily lives, to carry out their optional, necessary and social activities. In addition to the geographic field, with its divisions and connections, space also influences social bonds, due to its imposition on segregating aspects imposed on society, reproducing it and supporting its relationships, being dynamic and ephemeral according to time . Thus, it is unquestionable that the historic center of a city is commonly defined by its ability to seduce its users, being a central place in relation to the rest of the built area, still remaining as commercial attraction areas and with a large number of developments. This demand causes an increase in the value of properties located in this region and also a dispute for space where the private ends up overtaking the public, for personal interests or groups of people. This dispute for space by non-equivalent forces has resulted directly in the urban landscape. The analysis of public spaces in the historic center of the city of Campos dos Goytacazes, in the period in which its budget had a high bias, especially fostered by the amounts received from the transfer of royalties for oil exploration, aims to verify the changes that occurred in these spaces. The methodology developed for this work involves the review of scientific literature, the collection of primary sources such as users, permit holders and concessionaires of public spaces and a detailed on-site survey of some urban elements such as walkways and roads;number of private spaces for vehicles, kiosks and stalls in public areas. Based on the suggested surveys, it will be possible to verify if the last relevant economic cycle that occurred in the city of Campos dos Goytacazes -the transfer of royalties for oil exploration, was responsible for the modification of the urban landscape in its Historic Center.
