The aim of this paper was to analyse several measurements of soldiers to provide a reference for trousers sizes of military combat clothing. For sizing and fitting of military clothing, information on the body measurements of the user population is a precondition. More than 400 soldiers in the Estonian and Latvian Defence Forces as well as the military personnel were measured using Human Solution 3-D scanner. It focused on collating basic human body measurement data for the revision of size charts by STANAG 2335. Fit and comfort of trousers mainly relate to the following measurements: waist girth, leg inseam, leg length, and waistband. Present parameters play a significant role in the quality of trousers to ensure the wearer’s mobility in all situations particularly concerning the activities of soldiers. Correlating measurements and existing sizing systems are made to offer recommendations for manufacturers. In addition, this paper helps to provide sizing and fitting criteria of military combat clothing to STANREC document compiled by NATO RTO HFM-266 Group.

ABSTRAK. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengevaluasi dan menganalisis ukuran-ukuran tubuh pada sapi Belgian Blue, Peranakan Ongole dan silangannya. Sapi yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini sebanyak 30 ekor terdiri atas 7 ekor sapi Belgian Blue (BB), 8 ekor sapi Peranakan Ongole (PO) dan 15 ekor silangannya (BBxPO) yang dipelihara di Balai Embrio Ternak (BET) Cipelang Bogor, Indonesia. Peubah ukuran-ukuran tubuh yang diamati adalah panjang badan, tinggi pundak, dalam dada, lebar dada, lingkar dada, tinggi pinggul dan lebar pinggul, sedangkan indeksasi yang dihitung adalah weight, height slope, length index 1, length index 2, width slope, depth index dan foreleg length. Data ukuran-ukuran tubuh pada setiap bangsa sapi dikoreksi berdasarkan umur dan jenis kelamin. Selanjutnya data ukuran-ukuran tubuh dan nilai indeksasi dianalisis menggunakan analisis ragam (ANOVA) dengan program SAS 9.4. Analisis Komponen Utama (AKU) dengan pendekatan biplot dianalisis menggunakan program XLSTAT. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ukuran-ukuran tubuh dan indeksasi pada setiap bangsa sapi berbeda (P0.05). Hasil analisis komponen utama memperlihatkan bahwa ketiga bangsa sapi yang dianalisis secara jelas terpisah baik sapi BB, PO dan silangannya. Bangsa sapi BB dan silangannya (BBPO) memiliki karakter peubah spesifik dan menjadi penciri pada setiap bangsa sapi. Dengan demikian arah seleksi dapat mengacu pada karakter yang diinginkan sebagai sapi penghasil tipe pedaging.  Evaluation of the Body Measurements on Belgian Blue, Peranakan Ongole and Its Crossbreed Cattle ABSTRACT. This study was aimed to evaluate and analyze body measurements in Belgian Blue (BB), Ongole Breed (PO) and its crossbreed (BBPO) cattle. The number of cattle used in the study were 30 heads, with 7 heads of Belgian Blue cattle, 8 heads of Ongole breed cattle, and 15 heads of its crossbreed cattle were kept in the Animal Embryo Centre (BET) Cipelang Bogor. The variables observed were body length, withers height, chest depth, chest width, girth depth, rump height, and hip-width and the calculated indexations were weight, height slope, length index 1, length index 2, width slope, depth index, and foreleg length. The body measurement data on each breed of cattle was corrected by age and sex. Furthermore, analysis of body measurement and indexing was using Analysis of variance (ANOVA) with SAS program 9.4. As for Principal Component Analysis (PCA) with a biplot approach analyzed using XLStat program. The result showed that body measurement and indexing on each breed of cattle was different (P0.05). The result of principal component analysis (PCA) suggested that the three breeds analyzed to separate the BB, PO, and it's a crossbreed. The BB and its crossbreed had specific character and became an identifying mark in every breed of cattle. Thus, the direction of the selection can refer to the qualities desired as producing beef cattle type.

The article defines the role and place of exoskeletal structures for military purposes in the military equipment of military personnel, and provides a brief analysis of the functional tasks assigned to them. Based on the results of the analysis, a new formulation of the concept of «military exoskeletons» is proposed, and the order of their classification is recommended. Based on the practical experience of creating and using exoskeletons for military purposes, a general description of all the proposed classification groups and their features is given. Key words Military exoskeleton, military combat equipment, classification groups, active assault-type exoskeleton, passive exoskeleton, explosive exoskeleton, rigging exoskeleton, medical exoskeleton.

The chapter discusses body asymmetry occurring as an isolated clinical feature or as part of well-characterized syndromes. The term “lateralized overgrowth” has been recently introduced to describe conditions characterized by disproportionate growth of one side of the body that might be caused by hemihyperplasia and/or hemihypertrophy. The chapter also provides a brief clinical overview of the major syndromes associated with lateralized overgrowth and discusses the molecular anomalies causing this disorder. Prognosis of conditions characterized by lateralized overgrowth varies according to the underlying cause. Treatment and management of conditions characterized by lateralized overgrowth mainly focus on tumor surveillance and management of eventual difference of limb length. Leg-length discrepancy can be associated with significant morbidity and can negatively influence the quality of life.

With the nationalist government – Kuomintang (KMT) –retreating from mainland China in 1949, some 600,000 military personnel relocated to Taiwan. The military seized former Japanese colonial properties and built its own settlements, establishing temporary military dependents' villages called juancun ([Formula: see text]). When the prospect of counter-attacking the mainland vanished, the KMT had to face the reality of settling permanently in Taiwan. How, then, did the KMT's authoritarian power enter the everyday lives of its own support group? In this article I will focus on the coercive elements of KMT authoritarianism, which permeated these military villages in Taiwan. I will look at the coercive mechanisms through the analytical lens of Foucauldian discipline. I argue that disciplinary techniques such as surveillance, disciplining of the body and the senses, as well as the creation of morality regimes played an important role in the co-optation of village residents into KMT authoritarianism by normalising and naturalising it.

Abstract The membership of the country in the Euro-Atlantic structures, the professionalization of the Armed Forces and their participation in joint operations put the Bulgarian Army in front of the necessity to comply with the rules for communal-household provision applied in the NATO member states. As the resource constraint of the Military Budget, determined by the economic potential of the country, does not allow the construction of new military infrastructure objects, the current models for modernization, maintenance and utilization of the military infrastructure in the part of the communal-household provision of the Armed Forces are proposed. The implementation of the presented models is in response to solve problems in improving the maintenance and using military infrastructure elements. On the one hand, the applicability of the models requires the development of scientifically-based norms and legislation for the communal-household provision of the servicemen and on the other hand, it responds to the requirements for improving the quality of life of military personnel in the context of continuous structural reforms and transformations


The article analyzes psychosemantic researches of servicemen in Ukraine and Russia. The study proposed solutions to the following tasks: to analyze the main content of psychosemantic research with the military and determine the focus of further research with the military. The general analysis of psychosemantic studies of servicemen can be divided into three groups: The first group is the study of the peculiarities of the personal and semantic sphere of servicemen, as well as professional identity. The second group is the study of the behavior of the military, the features of their communication and motivation to serve. Performance of their official duties due to the regularity and hierarchy of military service. The third is the study of the formation of social representations about the image of the military and the army in general. Familiarization with the results and conclusions of the psychosemantic researches of military personnel, received by specialists, allowed to determine the focus of further research in this direction. In further studies, in our opinion, the actual question arises of the study of social representations of conscripts and soldiers of the regular service for the army and the military, as well as its impact on society as an important social institution. The study of these social representations can have a qualitative effect on the formation of young people's motivation to undergo military service, their adaptation to military activity, and the quality of their military professional tasks. The need for conducting these studies is determined by the dynamics of society development, the peculiarities of the modern worldview and the importance of military structures for each country.

Abstract. Title of the paper: Comparison of the conformation scoring and the body measurement based on four linear traits of Holstein Friesian cows The goal was evaluate the similarity of the body scoring System and the body measurement kept generally for the best objective method. The target-traits (withers height, body depth, rump width at the gluteal tuberosity and body capacity) of Holstein Friesian heifers were taken down. Three-three groups (−extreme, medium, +extreme) based on the Standard deviation of the body measurements were created and compared in each traits, as well as phenotypic relationships (regression and correlation) were calculated. Taking the relationships into consideration it appeared that the body measurements do not stand in such a close connection with each other than it is suggested by the scoring. The pair-wise correlation coefficients between the values of the same traits taken down by scoring and measuring Systems can by seen as low figures (r = 0.71, 0.50, 0.43 and 0.59, respectively) since we have the same traits. The partial correlation coefficients are even more less than the pair-wise correlation coefficients, and statistically confirmed only by the height at wither. Except the height at wither, there were no demonstrable connections in the regression of the same traits, just then, exclusively the true height at wither influenced the classifier during the scoring of all the traits. The differences between the type groups were smaller in each traits estimated by scoring. From the analysis of the type groups it is obvious that the similarity of the two methods is the biggest in the height at wither. In the case of body depth, rump width and body capacity the classifier can distinguish only the "very little" and "very large" animals from the judged population while the intermediate types remained unrecognised. The average value of the individual identity between the two typing method was around 35%.

Заболевания полости рта являются одними из наиболее распространенных заболеваний, с которыми сталкивается здравоохранение во всем мире. Эта проблема затрагивает людей всех возрастных групп. Анализ литературных данных позволяет выделить множество факторов риска развития кариеса и его осложнений, которые могут касаться военнослужащих помимо несбалансированного питания, курения, неудовлетворительной гигиены полости рта и нерегулярного посещения стоматолога. Множество международных исследований демонстрируют актуальность проблемы стоматологических заболеваний среди военнослужащих, указывая на отсутствие своевременной диспансеризации, низкую мотивацию к регулярному посещению стоматолога и тщательному проведению самостоятельной гигиены полости рта. Кроме этого, стоит учитывать специфику выполняемых военными задач за весь период службы, во время которых они оказываются под воздействием множества неблагоприятных факторов, которые в свою очередь, влияют на микроэлементный состав организма, что непосредственно влияет на общее состояние здоровья. Необходимость применения в армии РФ более актуальных по своему составу витаминно-минеральных комплексов (ВМК) уже неоднократно описана в современных исследованиях. Но до настоящего времени не проводилось работ по изучению взаимосвязи между микроэлементным статусом организма и состоянием твердых тканей зубов и пародонта Diseases of the oral cavity are one of the most common diseases that public health has worldwide. This problem affects people of all age groups. An analysis of literature data allows us to identify many risk factors for the development of caries and its complications, which may concern military personnel in addition to unbalanced nutrition, smoking, poor oral hygiene and irregular visits to the dentist. Many international studies demonstrate the urgency of the problem of dental diseases among military personnel, indicating the lack of timely medical examination, low motivation for regular visits to the dentist and thorough self-hygiene of the oral cavity. In addition, it is worth considering the specifics of the military tasks performed for the entire period of service, during which they are influenced by many unfavorable factors, which in turn affect the microelement composition of the body, which directly affects the overall health. The need to use in the army of the Russian Federation more relevant in its composition vitamin-mineral complexes (VMC) has been repeatedly described in modern studies. But so far no work has been done to study the relationship between the microelement status of the body and the state of hard tissues of teeth and periodontium

The paper considers psychological adaptation in the conditions of military service. The author argues that adaptation to a new social role, a new professional environment, and military relations requires a person to mobilize all his adaptive resources and developed self-regulation skills. As the main indicators of readiness for psychological adaptation, the adaptation experience of a serviceman in the pre-conscription period and psychological resistance to adaptation processes are considered. An indicator of psychological adaptation in the narrow sense of the word is the quality of the military personnel’s development of a military accounting specialty. As a result of psychological diagnostics and analysis of adaptive indicators of the subjects, all participants of the study were divided into three groups. The first group of military personnel needs additional time to fully master the military accounting specialty, because they have problems with psychological readiness to learn new types of activities, and they perceive the service situation as stressful and impossible for them. The second group includes military personnel who have shown a high level of development of military accounting specialty, but have insufficient psychological ability to adapt and have not had extensive experience of social adaptation in civilian life. The third group includes military personnel who demonstrate a high level of development of military accounting specialty in the initial period of military service. Recommendations on adaptation have been developed for each group, which are presented as a threelevel model of psychological adaptation of military personnel to the conditions of military service. The model is a complex of organizational, psychological, educational and professional activities aimed at the development of personal qualities of military personnel that contribute to improving the level of adaptive development. The implementation of the proposed model allows you to build working relationships in the military team; to form a belief in the need to improve the quality of knowledge for successful military professional activities; to successfully perform their professional military duties; to implement personal adaptation resources.

Abstract The achievement of the public interest by the state implies the enduing with public prerogatives of certain persons, who, in the exercise of the public function and by fulfilling the conditions provided by law, acquire the quality of civil servants. The regulation of the public office in Romania offers both a general perspective, through the Statute of the Civil Servants, which since the adoption of the Administrative Code in 2019 is an integral part of it, and a particular perspective, embodied by the special statutes of certain professional categories that exercise the public office in a specific regime, derogating from the general rules. Law no. 80/1995 regulates the Statute of Military Personnel and, through the conditions of exercising the stipulated duties and rights, confers a special indisputable status to military personnel. However, the provisions of the same law do not establish the quality of civil servants of the military, this quality being established by juridical interpretation.
