Military sociology being a special discipline has resulted in the establishment of a permanent study group with contributors in the shape of academic scholars and military officers. Based on the works of military profession theorists, modern militaries have adopted a more flexible and technologically advanced outlook with emphasis on professionalism through training, education, mentoring, and ethics in order to address and live up to the challenges of the 21st century. In these changing and testing times one resounding constant has emerged in the shape of human being and his will to fight as a single most determining factor between winning and losing.

Taking into consideration the implications of Romania’s accession to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, participation in conflicts, and strategic missions alongside the Member States, the need to accelerate the process of adapting the forces to the new strategic, operational, and tactical realities can be noticed. Considering the central role of the human component in the defense system, the concerns of the decision-makers nowadays focus on the strategic importance of the process of continuous training of military personnel. Thus, we examine in this work the evolution and relevance of the training process of military personnel, the challenges of the 21st century, trends in the field, and future implications for military personnel, military education institutions, and the army as an organization.

Indonesia is located in a very strategic position between the continents of Asia and the continent of Australia and the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, which makes Indonesia a sea line of communication (SLOC) and sea trade route (Sea Lines of Trade / SLOT) for the international world. The size of the Indonesian Navy (TNIAL) territory carried out with the potential threats faced is still not comparable. In order to secure the border areas and maintain the country’s sovereignty, PresidentJoko Widodo intends to build the islands of Natuna, Bitung, and Selaru as Aircraft carriers. The Navy can support this desire by strengthening the Naval Bases located in the three regions. Strengthening the Naval Base can be done by analyzing the essential functions and duties of the base and the general requirements of the base. Furthermore, an analysis of the capabilities and technology of weapons owned by the aircraft carriers of countries in the world can be used as a reference for constructing Indonesian Aircraft carriers. In addition, an analysis of the Naval Base from the naval Base and Naval Home Base levels is the most appropriate for strengthening to increase the country’s deterrence and defense at sea. From the analysis results, three selected Naval bases were determined, namely: Naval Base Ranai, Naval Home Base VIII Manado, and Naval Base Saumlaki.

The criminal justice system is at the center of curtailing radicalization and terrorism. Despite many youths having been arrested, prosecuted, or even eliminated, youth radicalization seems to be on the rise which points to the fact that the very criminal justice system contributes to youth radicalization. Anchored on the social identity theory, the criminal justice theory, and the psychoanalysis theory, the study investigated the contribution of the criminal justice system to the emergence of radicalization among the youth. A descriptive survey design was adopted. The target population was 320. Stratified simple random sampling was used to select respondents. A sample size of 96 was derived representing 30% of the target population. Both primary and secondary data were used. The validity and reliability of data was tested using Cronbach’s alpha. Data was analyzed and presented using descriptive statistics; percentages, frequencies, means, and standard deviations. The research found that police show low level of professionalism while dealing with the problem of radicalization in the study area: suspects are profiled and either arrested and charged in court or arrested and never to be seen again (forced disappearances). That the police do not engage the community when dealing with the problem of radicalization. The study also found out that the legal framework on radicalization and terrorism is a bit weak. The study concludes that the Criminal Justice System is part of the problem of radicalization in the study area. Therefore, there is a need for the CJS to change its tactics in solving the problem. There is a need to change the hard tactics which are mainly militaristic. The law has to be enforced and those who commit criminal acts must face the full force of the law.

The emergence of the pandemy has fundamentally changed global human mobility. Until the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the International Monetary Organization, and the International Organization for Migration considered in their studies and reports that migration could bring substantial global benefits to economies in terms of GDP per capita and growth of the standard of living. But the key to achieving these benefits was to address the challenges of short-term migration and, in particular, to ensure the integration of migrants into the labor market. The paper aims to discuss the implications of the COVID 19 pandemic on long-term migration after people, health systems and the economy recover.

Whether we refer to Lucian Blaga’s inclusion in a hyper-canon, or we choose to focus on his relationship with European cultures or his incursions into the realm of philosophy, the contextualization of his work can only be achieved by going down a two-way street; can we refer to Blaga as a German author of Romanian expression, as he was considered to be by some of his contemporaries, or can we refer to him as Romanian Goethe, as he was named upon the release of his translation of Faust? These are just a few lines of thought the present study is based on.

In the current conditions of biological risk, at a time when many countries are already threatened by the emergence of the sixth pandemic wave of COVID-19, the Romanian health system is under pressure that no one has anticipated until a while ago. The migration of a large number of people from Ukraine to Romania and other countries, using our country in transit, puts pressure on the medical system through the appearance of diseases considered eradicated or strains not treatable by vaccination. Under these conditions, the transformation of hospital management is vital for maintaining the optimal parameters of the national health system and ensuring national security.

It is impossible to find a nation in the world that has existed and still exists that has not faced the trials of war in its history and has not tried to emerge from this war with fewer losses and better results. As for the ways to achieve this, after various observations and generalizations, extremely different and dissimilar views and opinions have emerged from time to time. However, since these ideas and considerations could not go beyond the level of social evolution of the time, the issues of interest were explained in a simple way and were based more on subjective thinking. Although the conclusions of the authors of simple ideas, unscientific generalizations and theories are of historical importance, they failed to reveal the objective causes of wars and the regularities of war management. They also created misconceptions about the emergence and operation of wars. This article briefly aims to create a picture of the development of ideas and concepts about the essence and nature of war from ancient times.

The problem of management of the reliable information security is one of the most important problems of our time. The problem of protecting information from unauthorized intervention and external impact is always topical and seriously investigated. A modification of the encryption algorithm related to the symmetric encryption method during the transmission of classified voice information is consudered in the paper. A management of the assessnent of a level of protection of encrypted classified voice information against cryptographic attacks is investigated by using of calculation of the keys number of encrypted data. This method is based on the rule of reflected sliding encrypted voice information.

PURPOSE: Our study aims to develop an innovative approach to scientific substantiation and practical balance of interests of cargo owners and transport companies, which will serve as a tool for freight management. METHODOLOGY: A specific algorithm of actions is proposed, which initially provides the creation of a system of indicators to study transportation management. The research methods include a complex method of semantic differential modeling, which integrates correlation-regression analysis, cluster analysis, and expert evaluations. The basis of such a complex method is the integration of three components: i) a system for monitoring the satisfaction of consumers of transport services; ii) the assessment of the density of connections between cargo turnover by type of transportation and the leading transportation indicators; iii) a multidimensional assessment of the homogeneity of factors by hierarchical clustering. FINDINGS: Semantic differential modeling can serve as an effective tool in strategic planning, not only for transport companies and railway enterprises, but also for those institutions where it is necessary to identify the most important areas of activity. IMPLICATIONS: The use of semantic differential based on the involvement of quantitative methods of mathematical modeling allows increasing the degree of validity of management decisions. The harmonization and balancing of interests in the field of B2B take into account the results of modeling the semantic differential in management. The proposed methodology consists of main indicators of rolling stock transportation and certain economic indicators; we advise to focus on. These indicators were obtained through cooperation with an expert group of participants in the transportation process. Application of the created model allows defining priority directions in the field of freight owners’ service by the Ukrainian railways in the dynamics by types of cargo and transportation and substantiating the corresponding management decisions by freight carriers. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: Innovation is a complex interdisciplinary integration of research methods based on the philosophy of semantic differential, allowing the integration of approaches to harmonize the interests of transport companies and consumers of their services with the results of cooperation in the field of freight transportation. Therefore, the developed innovative methodology can be used not only for railway transport but also for other types of transport and business.

PURPOSE: The theoretical aim of this study is to explore the nature of the “technological innovation–labor market” relationships presented recently in the literature, based on publications indexed in the Scopus and Web of Science databases. The empirical purpose is to examine these relationships in companies operating in the confectionery industry in Poland. METHODOLOGY: Literature studies, as well as a mixed-method empirical research approach, were used, including an online survey of engineers working in the confectionery industry and the case study method (with interviews and observation). FINDINGS: Publications from the past eleven years have covered the problems of the analyzed relationship but have not taken into consideration the market in Poland or the confectionery industry. More often than the classic literature, these publications present different relationships, not focusing mainly on the issue of unemployment resulting from technological innovation. Meanwhile, empirical studies show that the analyzed relationships are non-reciprocal. Fifty percent of the employees surveyed indicated that implementing technological innovations results in job losses. The remaining respondents were convinced that technological innovation has a neutral quantitative impact on the internal labor market. We identified that technological innovations have an impact on the labor market (both internal and external) more often than changes in the labor market affecting innovations, and that this impact is rather negative. Moreover, empirical research shows that technological innovations are positively connected with qualitative changes in the internal labor market. IMPLICATIONS: This study emphasizes the need for lifelong learning among employees and for a field for development at educational institutions. It should also draw the attention of top managers to the skills that their employees have now and should have in the future. ORIGINALITY AND VALUE: The paper presents an original typology of the relationships between technological innovation and the labor market, which can serve as the basis for further development and qualitative or quantitative research. The paper also presents pioneering research because previous studies were not based on a complex framework, including different kinds of impacts (from negative through neutral to positive), treating the labor market and technological innovations relative to each other as dependent or independent variables, or highlighting two types of labor market.
