The hybrid threats tell about the evolution of the contemporary and future threats,about the necessity of a national effort concerted towards providing an immediate effective response to these threats. From a different perspective, the diversity and the complexity of the issues raised by the hybrid threats prove that it is necessary to go beyond the technical or sequential nowadays answers. It results first that it is required to develop an appropriate security strategy which will make possible the efficient action against hybrid risks and threats, in an effective, operational and unitary manner.Therefore, the present article aims at sequentially highlighting the aspects supporting the need to correlate the coordinates of the national security strategy to the planning,conduct and quality assessment of the process of training officers from the “change of paradigm” perspective, in order to acquire the professional skills conforming to the task-requirements specific to the hybrid war. Nothing more natural, more necessary and at the same time more current in this perspective than modernizing the military continuous education system in accordance with the strategic norm of competence.

(Re-)kreacyjny rejs arką na koniec świata, czyli jak autor stworzył się Bogiem, czyli diablada z Darwinem. O „Galapagos” Kurta Vonneguta

Author(s): Jerzy Kamionowski / Language(s): Polish Issue: 19/2021

This paper analyzes the novel Galapagosby Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. in its thematic and formal dimensions. The author aims, first, to identify the work’sreferences to scientific issues concerning Darwin’s theoryof evolution andso-called “social Darwinism.” Secondly, he identifies the novel’s strictly literary references, the citation of which allows him to draw conclusions about the nature of its intertextuality. Of particular relevance here is the relationship of the Galapagos with the biblical myth of the Flood. As a result, the author of the article substantiates the hypothesis that Vonnegut consistently cultivates, for deeply didactic purposes, postmodern metafiction with a moralistic message.

Author(s): Nicolae Florin Zăgănescu,Constantin Marcian Gheorghe / Language(s): Romanian Issue: 1/2018

Alexandru Ciurcu was born at 29thJanuary 1854 inTransylvania (then in Austria-Hungary) where his Romanian parents took refuge after the 1848 revolution. Between 1876 and 1885, working as journalist in Bucharest, he invented a „jet cylinder”: a prototype of the future propulsion system he will make later in Paris with his friend Just Buisson. Ciurcu and Buisson tested the system on a boat, navigating upstream Seine River on 13thAugust 1886; so, 131 years ago, they tested the first manned vehicle ever powered by jet propulsion!On 12th October 1886, they received a French Patent for “Reactive propulsion system”.Before contract signing with French Civil Navigation Ministry, they made a last test on 16th December 1886; unfortunately, a pressurised container exploded, killing Buisson and anassistant. Ciurcu, wounded, survived. He later resumed testing the system on a railroad trolley; successfully, but not enough to develop an airship propulsion system.

A Brief History of the Nekrasovite Cossacks and an Analysis of the Cossack Heritage in Romania

Author(s): Cristian ȘCHIOPU / Language(s): English Issue: 39/2022

The purpose of this paper is to make a contribution to the clarification of certain aspects regarding the origins of the Lipovans, the Russian-speaking minority group found on the territory of Romania, which have been long rumoured to be of Cossack origin. Despite having emigrated and cut off contact with their native lands, they have managed to maintain a distinct identity, culture and language over the centuries of separation from their ancestral lands, whilst also managing to integrate well into the new cultural context initially encountered in Ottoman-ruled Dobruja, and in Romania, later. The paper comprises a presentation of the historical contexts that have led to the migration of Russian speakers westwards, reaching the territory of modern-day Romania and the influence they have exerted on said territories. It includes specific cultural and linguistic exemplifications supporting the Cossack origin thesis of the Lipovan population of Dobruja.
