Communication and Information Services – NATO Requirements, Part I

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This study presents the history of explosive devices and that of their detection. With the invention of explosive devices and their subsequent use, the methods of warfare changed significantly. New procedures emerged that were already unthinkable to implement without the use of such tools. In parallel with the emergence of explosive devices with increasing destructive power, the need to deactivate them also came to the fore. Opposing parties made increasing efforts to detect, deactivate, and destroy explosive devices. After the completion of military operations, the detection of explosive devices did not lose its importance, and developed into an essential mission, since the areas had to be cleared of devices left over from the military actions and posing a murderous danger.</abstract>

History of Detection of Explosive Devices 2. (1951 to the Present)

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Even though at a lower intensity from its 2015-2016 top, the migration crisis at the southern borders of the European Union is far from being over. But as it succeeds the military operation EUNAVFOR MED Sophia in the Mediterranean Sea, the new operation EUNAVFOR MED Irini has a very different mandate, focusing less on the migration events happening in the international waters and more on the United Nations arms embargo on Libya. Using as scientific tools the qualitative analysis of social documents and the exploratory case study, this paper argues that EUNAVFOR MED Irini, the newest military operation of the European Union, does not reflect the same level of the organisation’s commitment to address the core causes that continue to generate the flow of illegal migrants.</abstract>

The Military Operation Eunavfor MED Irini – A Downscale of the EU’s Involvement in the Migration Crisis

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">One of the essential prerequisites for an efficient and effective organisation in our information society is the timely provision of information to the entitled person or persons. This is particularly important in the public, economic and business sphere, in public administration, law enforcement agencies and military operations as well. The information must always be available in the right place, at the right time, in the required quantity, quality and format, in order to gain and maintain the information superiority. This paper aims to analyse and present the methods of information sharing among different classified and non-classified systems and networks, their proposed areas of application, the security measures required for their safe implementation, and the risks and issues arising from their use. In this part of the article, the author analysed the different international security management procedures, the possible threats, vulnerabilities and solutions to create the most effective information-sharing environment.</abstract>

Information-Sharing Challenges and Issues in Multinational Operations, Part 1

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">This paper aims to identify and discuss relevant issues, in terms of military pedagogy, regarding the using of role play in the training of future officers, given the characteristics of the military organization and the psycho-behavioral traits required of commanding officers. A secondary analysis of quantitative and qualitative data (collected through an opinion questionnaire) was conducted. The results show that role play is perceived as an effective method of training, especially for the psycho-behavioral and attitudinal component, and less for the intellectual component of personality. The data show that, although role play is a collective method, which can only take place with the participation of the military team, the process of developing leadership skills is an individual one. Every student, whether actor or observer during the role play, evolves on their own, regardless of their relationship with colleagues or their position in the military team. The timely and proper intervention of instructor-facilitator in the role play could increase the success rate of this pedagogical method.</abstract>

Using the Role Play Method in Military Pedagogy

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The Libyan conflict has become an issue at the global level since its beginning. The foreign aid and support help got by the revolutionaries in their attempt to overthrow the Qaddafi regime and the role of tribes not only during these events but also afterwards, the country’s strategic position and oil reserves are the main points of interest when considering the North African internationalized civil war. While the role played by the tribes in stabilizing the political and social framework still lays at crossroads, being extremely controversial, the economic value and strategic importance of oil, for domestic actors as well as the international ones, are above any doubt.</abstract>

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">The term stereotype was first used around a century ago, but its meaning and implications are relevant today due to an increase in group diversity and interactions. Stereotypes are simplistic and generalized beliefs about group members that can have negative consequences. This article reviews some of the evidence relating to two of the most common implications of stereotypes; discrimination and changes in cognitive and physical performance related with stereotype threat. The findings from this article may be helpful for human resource (HR) specialists, professors, health related specialists and those engaged in evaluation activities.</abstract>

The Implications of Using Stereotypes

<abstract xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">Firefighting occupation demands physical and psychological training required in emergency situations. The investigation started in March 2018, with a initial test, and finished in September 2018, with a final test, at the Emergency Situation Unit from Sibiu. The sample of the experiment was formed by 10 firefighters that participate in the emergency team of Sibiu at the specific firefighters’ competitions, with age between 30± 3.5 years old with experience in this kind of competitions between 2 and 7 years. The methods used in our investigation was preponderant experimental with specific testing for firefighters, the data obtained was analyzed using statistical specificity test. The result of our experiment highlighted the progress that every firefighter had, registering a progress of 2.12 second from the initial test 23.48 to the final test 21.36, being statistically significant difference calculated with the t Student test p = 0.00006. The conclusions of our research showed that using a specific program for developing motor qualities and kinematic analyze, we can improve firefighter’s performance and also reduce time of emergency interventions.</abstract>

The current paper represents a brief assessment of how the consumer/consumption behaviour of the individuals and how the marketing activity have changed in the face of this global pandemic. We are underlining several aspects related to the shifts that have occurred in the lives of the consumers, we are pointing out the results of certain research developed in order to identify how the consumers are buying, what are they giving up, and what are they buying more. Further research is being presented related to home media consumption during and after the pandemic and the effects of the SARS-COV-2 pandemic on the marketing activity. We are also presenting several key activities and marketing strategies and direction that the companies should use if they want to survive in this dynamic but troublesome time.</abstract>
