Authors: Fu Wenqing , Khalil Ahmed Mostafa , Zahran Ahmed Mohamed , Basheer Rehab
Published: June 2021

The aim of this article is to present the concept of restricted union and extended intersection of belief interval-valued soft sets, along with its properties. In addition, we propose the concept of possibility belief interval-valued soft set theory and investigate their properties. For suitability of possible applications, there are seven kinds of operations (e.g., union, intersection, restricted union, extended intersection, complement, soft max-AND, and soft min-OR) on the possibility belief interval-valued soft sets are defined and their basic theoretical are given. Then, we construct two algorithms by using soft max-AND and soft min-OR operations of possibility interval-valued soft sets for fuzzy decision-making problem. Lastly, we introduce an algorithm using a possibility interval-valued soft set to solve the decision-making problems and clarify its applicability by a numerical example.

Published: June 2021

Using artificial intelligence recognition algorithms to identify extracurricular physical exercise behaviors of college students can help teachers improve the efficiency of extracurricular management, improve student safety and physical exercise efficiency. Aiming at the characteristics of classroom physical exercise mode, this research uses UHF RFID technology to design a set of student information collection system. Moreover, this research processes the collected information and data to obtain the individual position of the student and combines with student action recognition to carry out student positioning and action recognition management. In addition, in order to explore the effect of artificial intelligence sports monitoring model in sports action recognition, this study uses the average recognition rate as a measure of the results of sports action recognition and uses neural network algorithms as a comparative experiment. From the experimental results, it can be seen that the performance of this algorithm is good, and it can be applied to the supervision of college students’ extracurricular physical exercise.
The role of vitamin D in selected autoimmune diseases
Authors: Wiśniewska Aleksandra , Szypowska Alicja
Published: June 2021

The authors of recently published scientific papers are focusing increasingly often on the effect of vitamin D on immune processes. In the case of deficiencies of this vitamin, an imbalance in the immune system is observed, which is associated with the intensification of the inflammatory reaction in the body and the increased possibility of an autoimmune reaction.
Therefore, due to the growing interest of scientists in the relationship between the effects of vitamin D and the development of autoimmune diseases, this paper considers the use of Vitamin D in autoimmune therapies. However, the mechanism of vitamin D on individual autoimmune diseases has not been elucidated so far, therefore there is a need for further research.
The importance of maintaining normal plasma vitamin D levels to reduce the risk of developing autoimmune diseases has been demonstrated by the authors of other studies. They showed that vitamin D levels influenced the course, severity of symptoms and frequency of relapses of autoimmune thyroid disease, inflammatory bowel disease, and rheumatoid arthritis.

Authors: Chojnacka Aleksandra , Górnicka Magdalena , Szewczyk Kacper
Published: June 2021

Background. In the group of school-aged children nutritional education (NE) enables an early development of healthy eating habits, which can be transferred to the adult life.
Objective. The aim of the study was to assess the long-term effect of a one-time nutritional education, including also culinary workshops, on the level of nutritional knowledge (NK) of early school-aged children as well as to analyse the nutritional content of the children’s books.
Material and methods. The study was conducted among second- and third-grade pupils from a primary school in Warsaw (n=76). The level of NK was determined using the same, self-administrated questionnaire at each of the three stages of the study.
Results. The level of NK was assumed as very good in 47% of respondents before the education, in 91% immediately after the education, and in 74% six months after it. Out of all 23.0 points (max.) on average 18.1 points were obtained at the first stage, 21.1 points at the second stage and 19.7 points at the third stage (p<0.001). Immediately after the NE and six months after it the level of NK increased significantly (comparing to the first stage) especially on these topics: the daily water requirements and the recommendations on physical activity (p<0.001 for both questions).
Conclusions. The results of the study confirmed the effectiveness of a one-time nutritional education on the level of nutritional knowledge. Moreover, results show that in the research group nutritional knowledge about importance of physical activity, adequate nutrition, eating varicoloured vegetables and fruits, screen time limits and distinguishing between healthy and unhealthy products was satisfactory, even at the baseline, but in the main source of fats in a diet, the role of milk products, the effect of having too little water in a diet and the sugar content in food children’s knowledge was not enough.

Authors: Ricky Septafianty  , Widyoningroem Anita , M. Yamin S. S  , Rosy Setiawati  , Soedarsono
Published: June 2021

Introduction: Radiological imaging has a key role in multidrug-resistant (MDR) pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) screening and diagnosis. However, new cases of MDR pulmonary TB are often overlooked; therefore, its transmission might continue before its diagnosis. The most widely used and affordable radiological modality is a chest radiograph. This study aims to describe the characteristics of primary and secondary MDR pulmonary TB chest x-ray findings for differential diagnosis.

Methods: This study was an analytic observational study with a retrospective design. Researchers evaluated medical record data of primary and secondary MDR pulmonary TB patients who underwent chest x-ray examinations. The patient's chest x-rays were then evaluated. Evaluated variables were lung, pleural, and mediastinal abnormalities and severity category.

Results: The most common chest x-ray finding in primary MDR pulmonary TB was consolidation (96.2%), which was mostly unilateral (52.0%), accompanied by cavities (71.2%), most of which were multiple (83.8%) with a moderate category of severity. The most common chest x-ray finding in secondary MDR pulmonary TB was consolidation (100%), which was mostly bilateral (60.4%), accompanied by cavities (80.2%), most of which were multiple (90.1%) with severe category of severity. Pleural thickening (47.5%) was also found.

Conclusion: There was a significant difference between primary and secondary MDR pulmonary TB in terms of mild severity category, and pleural thickening. Mild severity category is mostly found in primary MDR-TB and pleural thickening is mostly found in secondary TB.
HISTOPATHOLOGICAL SPECTRUM OF NON NEOPLASTIC AND NEOPLASTIC LESIONS OF UTEROCERVIX IN NORTH WEST RAJASTHAN
Authors: Tanwar Gajendra Singh , Kumar Vanita , Varshney Mradul
Published: June 2021

Background: The female genital tract includes the uterine corpus, cervix, fallopian tubes and ovaries. Women worldwide suffer from gynaecologic and obstetric disorders that require hysterectomy as a treatment option. Hysterectomy is a definite treatment of pelvic pathology including fibroid, abnormal heavy bleeding, chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, adenomyosis, uterine prolapse, pelvic inflammatory disease and cancer of reproductive organs. Hysterectomy specimens contribute a major component of histopathological work in Pathology laboratories.

Methods: This is a prospective study carried out in the Department of Pathology, SPMC, Bikaner for two years from October 2018 to September 2020. All surgically excised hysterectomy specimens received by the department during study period were included in the study. Tissues were fixed and processed as per departmental protocols. Pieces taken from ectocervix, endocervix, uterine canal and fundus. Pieces also taken from any abnormal area. Tissue bits routinely processed 3 to 6 micron thick sections made from paraffin embedded blocks and were stained with H&E stain.  Special stains will be done whenever necessary.

Results: We included a total of 148 cases of hysterectomies received to our department during the study period in our study. Of total 148 cases, 87.83% hysterectomies were abdominal and 12.16% were vaginal and TAHBSO was the commonest procedure. In myometrium the most common finding was leiomyoma and adenomyosis with 79.73% and 43.92% cases respectively. In cervix, most cases were inflammatory lesions with chronic nonspecific cervicitis was the most common histopathological finding. Two cases (1.37%) of carcinoma cervix were reported.

Conclusions: Most of the cases which underwent hysterectomy were for symptomatic untreatable benign conditions and few for malignancies. Majority of the cases were histopathologically consistent with clinical diagnosis. Histopathological examination and its correlative study with preoperative clinical diagnosis is very important. Thus, histopathological examination is still the gold standard test to diagnose and rule out malignancy and must be compulsory for all the surgical specimens.

Iatrogeny in the Brazilian scenario: Medical Technologies that can prejudice in patient treatment
Authors: Pivato Vitória , Del Monaco Adriana
Published: June 2021

Medical technology plays a fundamental role in supporting medical practices, from diagnosis to the patient's rehabilitation phase, but the iatrogenic potential of the equipment must also be admitted. Resumption of iatrogenesis in a damage, material or psychic that is emitted to the patient during medical treatment and opposite to medical error, this term is related to a necessary procedure for the improvement of the patient, being considered an inevitable fact, an investigation of the iatrogenic consequences generated equipment by doctors was indispensable to verify which factors can motivate this type of complication. The lack of basic infrastructure for the adaptation of devices in hospitals affected not only patients but also employees, the lack of training and investigation of technical problems are factors that directly influence this occurrence. This study addresses the subject in order to investigate the factors that are capable of causing iatrogenic consequences generated by medical equipment, it also points out problems that need to be investigated for improvement during use by health professionals, developing an analysis that makes it possible to assist in this problem in the hospital environment. Therefore, in order to carry out the study, the applied methodology was a bibliographic review, analyzing and collecting data on the risks caused by medical technology in the hospital environment, following the method, the search resulted in a few articles that included and emphasized the use of technologies medical, but after obtaining the data it was possible to develop two graphs that analyze the incidents that occurred and the impact of medical technologies on these incidents. In view of this, the present recommends the study through a hospital management the application of resources focused on medical technologies, with a specialist to identify problems. It is important to emphasize that an analysis of this theme is beneficial for the performance of managers, relating medical equipment to iatrogenic consequences.

Dengue is caused by an RNA virus, which has 4 identified variations present in the human environment. Its main symptomatological manifestations include fever, muscle pain (myalgia), retro ocular pain, joint pain (arthralgia), headache (headache), nausea, vomiting and others, such as rash. This article aims to show the number of confirmed dengue cases in Brazil between 2008 and 2012. In Brazil, dengue is characterized as a major public health problem, being one of the diseases of an infectious nature that is very present. Some factors, such as the climate (predominantly tropical), deficient infrastructure of the urban environment, in addition to demographic expansion, which occurs in a disorderly manner, can provoke and possibly justify this national scenario. It represents a major public health problem, since the control of the disease depends on the fight against its vector, which spreads very easily in the country, due to climatic and anthropic factors. For the disease to be tackled efficiently in the country, the most effective method is to combat the vector. Garbage and materials must be efficiently separated and stored in suitable locations for further recycling, so that they do not accumulate water and become mosquito breeding sites.
Growing Value: Describing the Nature of the Relationship Between Street-Level Greenery and Housing Prices in Toronto
Authors: Bridgwater Spencer
Published: June 2021

The role of urban forestry has become increasingly important in the context of sustainability, both from an environmental context, and from a developmental context. Greenery in an urban environment has demonstrable implications for health, air quality, aesthetics, and land value, as described broadly across the literature.

Until recently, studies on green urban canopies and housing prices have been limited in their methodology by using aerial-perspective data. The MIT Senseable City Lab in 2015 developed the Treepedia project, which uses Google Street View images to quantify greenery levels in urban environments. Using the green view index (GVI) data from the Treepedia project, street-level greenery densities were compared against housing prices across Toronto. Models for different property types, accounting for characteristic, locational, and demographic variables, were estimated. It was determined that a statistically significant relationship between street-level greenery and housing prices exists in Toronto for detached homes, semi-detached homes, row/townhouse units, condo apartments, and condo townhouses.
The Utopian Code: Cyberspace as a Democratization of Technology
Authors: Bisson Cole
Published: June 2021

[Introduction] William Gibson’s 1984 novel, Neuromancer, declared cyberpunk as a fully realized science fiction subgenre that reverberates into the current time. The text follows a hacker, Case, who was recruited by an artificial intelligence program, Wintermute. The AI plans to release itself into cyberspace or the matrix; a virtual reality separate from the cruel outside world of the novel. Case joins a veteran solider, Armitage, an assassin-like agent, Molly, and other morally ambiguous individuals in a novel that pushes the boundaries of the 1980s culture. In addition to this, Neuromancer also represents postmodern architecture in the form of the text’s urban cityscapes, but also through the virtual reality of cyberspace. Each location relays a strained relationship between humanity and technology. The development of the 1980’s information technology along with the growth of the personal computer was believed to be a harbinger of a shifting paradigm. Paweł Frelik’s article, “Silhouettes of Strange Illuminated Mannequins: Cyberpunk’s Incarnation of Light,” examines the ocularity of light pertaining to cyberspace’s visual aesthetic. Frelik defines Neuromancer’s technological equipment as a gateway to cyberspace which is where global information is made concrete in the form of neon light. I will take up this technological gateway as defining cyberspace to be an information utopia. The construction of data into concrete light establishes the freedom a tangible identity can occupy in a world where physical limitations have no relevance. I will integrate this with a postmodern architectural and literary theory. Sabine Heuser’s text, Virtual Geographies: Cyberpunk at the Intersection of the Postmodern and Science Fiction¸ examines the representation of postmodern architecture in relation to cyberpunk. She defines “double coding” as communicating not only with the public, but with a concentrated minority consisting of learned professionals working in the industry. Heuser’s text declines to apply this theory to Neuromancer as she explains double coding is too binary to be useful, but Gibson’s spatial descriptions allow for a coded interpretation into the purpose of each temporality: cyberspace and reality. By using double coding, I will utilize this architectural concept to examine Neuromancer’s representation of neon lights as concrete fixtures of data which liberate a person’s identity. Therefore, this situates the dichotomy of cyberspace as a utopia and the cityscape as a dystopia in order to capture the zeitgeist of the democratization of technology (the relinquishment of computers from the elite to the masses).
An urban planning perspective on planning to address the needs and capabilities of a growing seniors population: an investigation of the senior friendly communities approach
Authors: Levine Brahm
Published: June 2021

This research examines the aging population and explores how the urban built environment should be transformed to be friendlier to seniors. Rapidly approaching, an unprecedented shift in demographics will significantly increase the proportion of the seniors`population. Their changing needs and capabilities will pose accessibility issues within the built environment. A case study of the waterfront neighbourhood of Port Credit in Mississauga, Ontario will be used, as an example of a local aging population. By studying policy documents, a recent mixed-use development, site visits, and interviewing key informants, it was found that dense, compact and transit-oriented developments (TODs) that are walkable, allow seniors to age in-place better, compared to the traditional neighbourhood design. In Summary, this research reveals that by making the urban built environment more walkable, and accessible, seniors can be more independent, safer and better be integrated into the community for a longer time.
Performance of Auto-Callable Reverse Convertibles, Information Disclosure Prescribed by Regulation S-K Change in 2013 Under U.S. Security Act: an Empirical Study
Authors: Lai Cheuk Lim
Published: June 2021

This thesis studies the effect of the estimated value disclosure imposed in 2013 on the realized return of the auto-callable reverse convertibles (ACRCs) in the U.S. retail market. The sample of this study consists of about 3,700 issues of ACRCs during the period from 2011 to 2015, which is collected from the Edgar database of the U.S. Security and Exchange Committee (www.sec.gov).

The comparison between product realized return and the return of underlying assets reveals that the ACRCs are underperformed by 5% on average, while further analysis shows that the return difference was broadened after the disclosure regulation. It is found that the statistical attributes of the underlying assets are critical to the product performance while they are hidden by the issuer of ACRCs. The disclosure regulation is presumed to enhance information disclosure and to further protect the investors, but the deteriorated performance of ACRCs indicates a failure of the regulation. To protect the anonymity and confidentiality, the identity of the issuer of ACRCs in our sample is removed without compromising the validity of our research. The original data is available upon request.
To Green or Not to Green? Exploring the Adoption of Green Initiatives in Canadian Trucking
Authors: Jovanovic Nina
Published: June 2021

The topic of environmental sustainability has become a central theme in recent years. To-date, ample scholarly literature has focused on the application of environmental sustainability in manufacturing, with scant attention on the logistics industry – particularly in Canada. Given the lack of research on the topic in Canada and the significant negative environmental impact of trucking transportation in the country, I use case study methodology to uncover: (1) the types of green initiatives that have been adopted by Canadian trucking companies, and (2) the drivers and barriers that can affect trucking companies’ adoption of green initiatives. Moreover, I conduct semi-structured interviews with high-level employees from eight small-to-medium sized trucking companies in Ontario. The results illustrate that the implementation of green initiatives in trucking is at an early stage and that trucking companies in Ontario face a multitude of drivers and barriers when adopting green initiatives. Additionally, I reveal three new findings.
Role of Mentors in Developing the Social Competencies (SC) of their Protégée-Entrepreneurs (PE) in High-Tech Incubators (HTI)
Authors: El-Kebbi Amr
Published: June 2021

High-tech incubators offer their entrepreneurs mentoring services to help them achieve goals
faster. In a successful mentoring relationship protégées learn from the statements, actions,
questions, and communication styles of their mentors. Mentors can play an important role in
developing their protégées’ social competencies, which allow them to increase their social
capital. This research tests a predictive model for the contribution of mentors to the development
of their protégées’ social competencies in a high-tech incubation environment. The predictor
variables of the model are the active communication-time between mentors and their protégée entrepreneurs,
and the age of a mentoring relationship, referred to as elapse-time. The outcome
variable is the development of social competencies of protégée-entrepreneurs. Moreover, the
levels of trust from protégée-entrepreneurs towards their mentors might moderate this time social
competency relationship.

The social competencies of individuals involve six elements: emotional expressivity, emotional
sensitivity, emotional control, social expressivity, social sensitivity, and social control. The
Social Skills Inventory (SSI), an established psychometric scale that captures all six dimensions
of social competencies, is used to test this model. After the participation of 99 protégées entrepreneurs
from 10 incubators at Ryerson University, a new seven-item trust scale has been
validated; however, the roles of elapse-time and communication-time in developing the social
competencies of protégée-entrepreneurs are not supported. Surprisingly, after the verification of
the SSI, it turned out that it is not valid to the participating sample set. In conclusion, despite the
claimed generalizability of the SSI, it is now questionable, and the creation of a social
competency scale for incubated entrepreneurs is an opportunity for future research.
Small Companies and Value Capture from their Intellectual Properties: a Qualitative Study
Authors: Wang Ziren
Published: June 2021

Small companies and their intellectual properties (IPs) play an increasingly crucial role in a “well-functioning market economy”. In recent empirical studies, it is recognized that small companies carried out breakthrough IPs. However, more studies are needed to investigate how small companies strategically capture value from their IPs given their resource constraints. By analyzing the empirical case findings in the light of IP management theory and resource-based view (RBV), this study attempted to answer 1) how small companies capture value from their intellectual properties and 2) in their value capture, how small companies utilize their physical, organizational, and human capital resources and overcome resource constraints, if any. Interview data with seven case companies which possess valuable and radical IPs were used to identify patterns and differences among the value capture strategies. The results were reported on a within- and cross-cases basis, which led to the discussion of three propositions. Overall, this thesis identified how small companies commercialize their IPs and the crucial roles of network and radical patents for small companies.
Аналіз застосування світових підходів для створення інформаційної інфраструктури Міністерства оборони України
Authors: Андрощук O.
Published: June 2021

Перехід до нових стратегій реалізації державної інформаційної політики в Україні та використання інформації в цивільному та оборонному секторі, доводить, що на сьогоднішній день наша держава не може претендувати на конкурентоспроможність без ефективної інформаційної інфраструктури. Наявна інформаційна інфраструктура не повною мірою відповідає завданням, покладеним на МО України та ЗС України, має децентралізовану архітектуру, що призвело до виникнення великої кількості розрізнених інформаційних систем (ІС), для підтримки яких потрібно використовувати значні ресурси та утримувати великий штат чергового і обслуговуючого персоналу.

Як показав аналіз стану використання ІС, інформаційно-телекомунікаційного, технічного, інженерного обладнання та нормативно-правового забезпечення, існуючий стан обумовлено недосконалістю підходів щодо управління створенням інформаційної інфраструктури. Основними недоліками можна вважати:

- організаційна розпорошеність та функціональна розрізненість існуючих ІС;

- відсутність централізованого планування розвитку інформаційної інфраструктури та аудиту стану впровадження інформаційних технологій;

- відсутність єдиних методологічних, технічних та організаційних принципів і підходів щодо створення ІС та впровадження інформаційних технологій та інші.

У статті проведено аналіз світових підходів, що запропоновані рекомендаціями бібліотек найкращих практик управління ІТ-процесами на різних рівнях архітектури інформаційної інфраструктури. Визначено, що доцільним є застосування інтегрованого підходу на основі найкращих практик BISL, COBIT, ASL і ITIL, що дасть змогу підняти на якісно новий рівень процеси створення та управління інформаційною інфраструктурою МО України.
Аналіз науково-методичного апарату формування організаційно-функціональних структур систем стратегічного рівня
Authors: Гудима О.

Сучасні міжнародні конфлікти не можна вже оцінювати з точки зору традиційних підходів до ведення бойових дій, їх можна охарактеризувати одним терміном ‑ гібридна війна, яка є комбінацією традиційних та нетрадиційних методів ведення війни. Поряд з цим, кожна країна світу постійно стикається в різних сферах своєї діяльності з загрозами, що можуть вплинути на економічні показники та стабільність функціонування самої держави. Кожна загроза (потенційна та реальна) може перерости в кризову ситуацію різного рівня.

Результати проведеного аналізу свідчать, що існуючий науково-методичний апарат синтезу організаційно-функціональних структур стратегічного рівня не дозволяє в повній мірі врахувати нарощування інформаційних потоків, які потрібно обробляти. Особливо це є критичним при прогнозуванні та реагуванні на кризові ситуації. Найбільш перспективними підходами з означеного питання, які дозволять врахувати нові чинники, що набули актуальності за останній час, зокрема такі, як інформаційна надмірність та інші є використання ситуаційного управління.

Доцільно опрацювання науково-математичного апарату щодо декомпозиції організаційно-функціональних структур стратегічного рівня на дві складові: постійної (відносно незмінної) і флуктуаційної. Синтез структури та параметрів постійної складової доцільно здійснювати за класичним трактуванням задачі параметричного синтезу складної системи. При синтезі структури та параметрів флуктуаційної складової доцільно використовувати ситуаційний підхід.
Рекомендації щодо протидії агентам впливу та рухам опору, які діють в інтересах держави-ініціатора гібридної агресії

Досвід України у протидії гібридній агресії показав, що держава-ініціатор гібридної агресії використовує всі можливі інструменти та механізми для досягнення стратегічних цілей деструктивного впливу на відповідні сфери національної безпеки держави, проти якої вона здійснює агресію. В сучасних умовах сферами діяльності “агентів впливу” та “рухів опору” є – політична, економічна, інформаційна та частково військова. Питанням нейтралізації, так званих, агентів впливу та рухів опору, які діють в інтересах держави-агресора приділяється недостатньо уваги, зважаючи на його специфічність. Системних досліджень з цього питання у відкритих джерелах не виявлено.

Мета статті – обґрунтування рекомендацій щодо протидії агентам впливу та рухам опору, що діють в інтересах держави-ініціатора гібридної агресії.

Доцільним є закріплення в українському законодавстві поняття “агент впливу” та введення відповідальності не лише за діяльність цих осіб на території України, а й за співпрацю з ними.

Потребує удосконалення нормативно-правова база щодо притягнення агентів впливу до відповідальності з визначенням механізмів їх чіткої ідентифікації та недопущення використання поняття “агент впливу” для обмеження свободи слова та думки.

Рекомендацією є удосконалення системи протидії гібридним загрозам за рахунок вирішення проблемних питань протидії агентам впливу в умовах асиметричної протидії гібридній агресії РФ.

На прихованій фазі гібридної агресії методами протидії доцільно вважати методи, які використовують агенти впливу та рухи опору, але спрямовані суб’єктами сектору безпеки і оборони проти них самих.
Оборонний менеджмент: підходи до управління процесами оборонного планування

Державна політика у воєнній сфері, сферах оборони і військового будівництва зараз спрямовується на створення сучасних мобільних і боєздатних сил оборони, які користуватимуться повагою в суспільстві та в іноземних партнерів і міжнародних організацій, спільно з іншими інституціями держави забезпечуватимуть всеохоплюючу оборону України, захист її суверенітету, територіальної цілісності і недоторканності.

У численних наукових публікаціях обґрунтовуються різні моделі та необхідність підвищення у нинішніх умовах ефективності оборонного менеджменту з управління процесами оборонного планування, передусім забезпечувального характеру, з метою досягнення визначених стратегічних цілей оборонної реформи та наближення цих процесів до стандартів, прийнятих у арміях держав-членів НАТО.

Метою статті є пошук ефективних підходів до формування моделі управління процесами оборонного планування, наближення їх до сучасних потреб та принципів і стандартів, прийнятих у арміях розвинутих держав-членів НАТО.

Оборонне планування здійснюється з метою забезпечення обороноздатності держави шляхом визначення пріоритетів і напрямів розвитку сил оборони, їх спроможностей, озброєння та військової техніки, інфраструктури, підготовки військ (сил), а також розроблення відповідних концепцій, програм і планів з урахуванням реальних і потенційних загроз у воєнній сфері та фінансово-економічних можливостей держави. Воно здійснюється із застосуванням методу планування на основі спроможностей, який спрямовується на їх розвиток на довгострокову перспективу. Процес оборонного планування включає: планування спроможностей; програмування розвитку спроможностей; бюджетування та управління ресурсами; виконання програм і планів.

Для якісної підготовки та здійснення ефективного оборонного менеджменту з управління процесами оборонного планування доцільно вдосконалити методику виконання цієї роботи на практиці, наблизити ці процеси до принципів і стандартів, прийнятих у арміях держав-членів НАТО.
