Production, Bone Health, and Economic Comparison of Indoor versus Pasture-Raised Red Ranger Broilers
Authors: Elmore Kayla , Nair Ajay , Bobeck Elizabeth
Published: September 2023

The implementation of livestock into cover crop integrated systems is a sustainable practice that has been shown to improve soil health and system diversity. However, the effects of pasture-raised poultry systems on broiler performance and welfare have not been well-documented. The experimental objective was to compare the performance, physiological, and economic outcomes of Freedom Ranger broilers raised in outdoor pastured versus conventional indoor settings. 176 slow-growing Freedom Ranger broilers were started in brooders for 21d, and then half were transferred to either indoor floor pens or outdoor chicken tractors for a 6 week grow-out cycle. Performance and welfare measures were recorded weekly. At d64, 40 birds per treatment were euthanized for tibia collection, and bone mineral density was analyzed by Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DXA). Under our research conditions, performance and welfare measures were not significantly affected by housing treatments, but bone mineral content and density were significantly increased by 37.9% and 15.4%, respectively, in the outdoor flock (P<0.05). Future research will investigate the impacts of pasture-raised poultry systems on bird behavior and welfare.
Vivekananda’s Universal Religion: Exploring Its Philosophical Foundations and Contemporary Relevance
Authors: Pramanick Somnath
Published: September 2023

The concept of “universal religion,” a fresh take on religion, is among Swami Vivekananda’s greatest gifts to humanity. It is not a brand-new religion with fresh text, but rather a fresh outlook on religion and a brand-new spiritual attitude. It makes religions into a principle of human unification by not only encouraging tolerance but also encouraging acceptance of different religions as true. The discovery of universality in all faiths, eliminating their own creeds, dogmas, beliefs, rites, and conventions, is known as universal religion. An adherent of universal religion maintains his or her sense of belonging to his or her own religion with its doctrine and rituals while having an enlightened understanding and respect for all other religions. Swami Vivekananda emphasized the legitimacy and universality of all religions in his Chicago Addresses in 1893. He said that every religion has the power to instill kindness, sanctity, and purity in people. He thus acknowledged the legitimacy of all religions. He urged everyone to maintain their religious unity and to embrace all that is admirable in other religions. According to him, a religion can be deemed universal if it can satisfy and soothe members of all other faiths. The true nature of man is already divine. But it is a concealed divinity. The achievement of such divinity should therefore be the goal of life; it is what religion teaches. It is the coexistence of all religions, making it one of the finest approaches to resolving the world’s many ongoing religious conflicts. This study will examine Swami Vivekananda’s idea of a universal religion and how it relates to the ongoing religious disputes around the globe. Additionally, the paper will go at his opinions on how the postmodern society operates and ask the question, “Is there a need for universal religion?”

Multidisciplinary Training for Visiting Volunteers
Authors: Sweetser Frank L. , Fulginiti Florence S.
Published: September 2023

Many hospitals utilize volunteers to visit socially isolated patients. These “visiting volunteers” provide such patients an opportunity for social interaction and, thus, serve to combat loneliness particularly among those who have no families or whose hospitalization in an acute care facility takes them far from home. Supervision of visiting volunteers is difficult because their work area is out of sight in the patient’s room, and characteristically they talk to patients on a one-to-one basis.
Cost Savings of an Oxygen Piping System
Authors: Pollock Leo
Published: September 2023

Most new hospital construction provides for piped oxygen at the rate of one outlet per every two beds in noncritical areas and two outlets per bed in critical care areas. However, many hospitals built before the era of gas plumbing must still rely on the familiar green cylinder to deliver this vital gas to the patient’s bedside. While piping is hidden in the walls of new construction, the updating of existing facilities is usually accomplished with less costly exposed piping. Many advantages of piped oxygen systems have been cited.2,3,4 Of particular interest in this time of high inflation is the factor of cost.

Shammas calculated the theoretical incidence of bilateral melanomas to be 0.055 cases per year in the U.S.4 In a population of approximately 200 million whites, one would then expect one case in every 18 years. It is the purpose of this paper to report such a case.
Glass Houses and Astral Societies as Models for a New Culture: Paul Scheerbart and Walter Benjamin
Authors: Syrén Essi
Published: September 2023

This article analyzes Paul Scheerbart’s (1863–1915) fantastic literature, particularly his novel Lesabéndio (1913) and the utopian work Glasarchitektur (1914), focusing on the changes in visual culture from the nineteenth century onwards. As an author, Scheerbart stands on a cultural threshold, since the First World War marked a clear transition in European societies. The way that the panoramic view, glass architecture, and other attributes of nineteenth-century visual culture are present in Scheerbart’s works is illustrative of his position between the two forms of modernity before and after the war. The article also examines various readings of Scheerbart’s works, most importantly the remarks of Walter Benjamin. With its panoramas, dioramas, and eventually photography, twentieth-century visual culture was characterized by the significance of technology—a quintessential aspect of modernity that was examined by Benjamin. Scheerbart’s works entail key themes foregrounded by Benjamin, who develops them further into core motifs and concepts of his cultural theory.

This article provides a general analysis of occupational diseases and injuries in swimming athletes. High performance sports are a risk factor for injuries and occupational diseases. Different types of sports are characterized by different specific diseases. Despite the fact that swimming is recognized as a less traumatic sport and has a direction in medical prevention, this does not mean that athletes who practice this sport do not get injured. Research methods: analysis of scientific and methodical literature; Internet resources on the specified topic. Research results: mainly the following traumatic zones are distinguished in swimmers: muscular system, joint connections and surfaces, and disorders of the ENT organs. The issue of preventing injuries and diseases in swimming concerns everyone who prepares highly qualified athletes and provides normal conditions for training and participation in competitions: coaches, doctors, judges, representatives of sports and medical science. Conclusion: 1. Prevention of sports injuries is not a purely medical problem. It applies to all those who are called to prepare highly qualified athletes and provide them with normal conditions for training and participation in competitions; 2. Prevention of sports injuries is based on the principles of injury prevention, taking into account the peculiarities of such a sport as swimming; 3. Using the experience of the economically developed countries of the world, it is possible to propose a single algorithm for processing information on statistical data on injuries to athletes- swimmers. The results of this work should be used in the future for coordinated work between the athlete, coach, doctor, physiotherapist and the whole team that provides a sports event to reduce injuries in swimming.

Based on the analysis of current research, the paper provides a brief overview of exercises and their results that will help in the formulation of recommendations for physical activity during the menstrual cycle and further methodological research. The purpose of the study is to evaluate the effectiveness of physical activity in order to correct the physical condition of women in the first period of adulthood during the menstrual cycle. We have analyzed the literature and studied the problems of the menstrual cycle with women who are professionally involved in sports. At this stage, coaches are advised to reduce the total amount of stress, use flexibility exercises, muscle relaxation, speed development, and improvement of sports technique. Use your arm muscles more. Eliminate (or reduce) static loads, strenuous strength exercises, jumping, static and dynamic exercises for the diaphragm, pelvis and abdominal muscles.

The research was conducted jointly on the basis of the Training Laboratory of Physical Rehabilitation, Ergotherapy and Sports, which is part of the Faculty of Social and Humanitarian Technologies and Management of the State Tax University, and the fitness club

«KD-GYM», in the period from 01.06.2023 – 05.08.2023. The study involved 10 recreationally active women (25±6 yrs.), who performed exercises during the follicular phase and luteal phase of the cycle. The women who took part in the study do not play professional sports, but lead an active lifestyle. The following research methods were used in the study: analysis and synthesis of special methodological literature, best practices, surveys, heart rate measurements, pedagogical methods (pedagogical observation, testing), and methods of mathematical statistics.

It was found that the menstrual cycle is not an obstacle to exercise, and women can adapt their training regimen depending on changes in the phases of the cycle. In addition, physical activity should be used as a therapeutic method to increase the feeling of vigor and reduce anger, tension, fatigue and depression.

Assessment and prediction of the functional capabilities of women in the first period of adulthood is the development of technical and functional training programs. The main components are the expansion of theoretical ideas about the limits of adaptive and reserve capabilities of the body of women.

Management of physical education: analysis of strategies, policies and practices
Authors: Mychka I.V. , Hrybuk V.O.
Published: September 2023

The article presents the author's view of the physical education management system. On the basis of systemic and structural-functional analysis, the structure of modern strategies, policies and practices of functioning and development of the sphere of physical education is presented. The features of the control mechanism in the field of physical education are revealed. Physical education as a socio- economic system that has the mission of developing human potential in modern Ukrainian realities requires reforming the management system through the development of a cybernetic model and innovative management technology, taking into account its socio-economic, legal, scientific, methodological and program-normative foundations. The development of physical education as a socio-economic system is a complex process that takes place in the dynamic conditions of the external environment, which are characterized by a high degree of uncertainty, contradictory transformational changes in the system itself, its structure, and changes in the internal parameters of its functioning. The complexity of the development process of the physical education system poses to scientists a complex theoretical- methodological and practical scientific task regarding the factor analysis of the functioning of the physical education system and the determination of the factors that drive development. Management is one of the properties of the physical education system. The methodological approach applied by the authors to the research problem allows us to assert the relevance of transformational changes in approaches to managing the sphere of physical education based on interdisciplinarity. The modern reform of the public administration system requires responses and changes at the regional levels, taking into account the principles of decentralization of power.

Published: September 2023

The need to develop and implement a research project is primarily related to the peculiarities of the development of our society, its reforms, the new way of life that is being formed, and the growing importance of physical culture and sports. Physical education and sports, along with other activities, are part of the students' lifestyle. The majority of them (more than 73% of respondents) highly appreciate the social significance of physical culture in society. The decline in interest in physical exercise among a fifth of the surveyed students indicates the low efficiency of the educational process and the unsatisfactory organisation of physical education and recreation in higher education institutions. Students are ready to use paid services to organise active recreation and health improvement, the most attractive of which are swimming pools, massage treatments and saunas. It is possible to increase students' physical activity by eliminating the objective reasons that prevent them from engaging in physical education and sports, paying particular attention to students' inability to allocate their free time, the poor development of physical education and sports infrastructure and, in general, the economic base that does not meet the modern requirements of physical education.

The article considers the issue of peculiarities of using various methods and means of technical training of young athletes-dancers. The purpose of the work is to improve the technical training of children aged 6–7 years in ballroom dancing in the People's Republic of China. 28 training sessions were observed, in which 8 dance couples aged 6-7 years took part. Based on a survey conducted by Chinese specialists from Wuhan, it was found that preference is given to verbal, practical and visual methods of teaching ballroom dance; the most significant are technical (38.0%), choreographic and musical-rhythmic (20.0%), as well as physical (20.0%) and functional (18.0%) types of training. 95.0% of respondents believe that for the training of novice dancers it would be expedient to use a special set of approach exercises, and it is worthwhile, in the opinion of the majority, in the preparatory part of the lesson; optimal training will be four times a week lasting 120 minutes each, where practicing the basic movements of each dance is given 10–20 minutes, and work on the technique of performing the main figures – about 30 minutes. For the first time, the methodology of technical training was applied, which was based on the use of a specially selected system of subordinate exercises for beginner dancers based on dance figures of the STUDENT level. As a result of the experiment, data were obtained that showed an increase in the average level of technical preparedness of Chinese beginner dancers by 10.8%. At the final stage of the study, there was a tendency to align expert assessments according to all criteria of technical preparedness in all dances, which confirmed the effectiveness of our proposed method of conducting classes using special approach exercises and consistent purposeful use of adequate methods and means of training dancers.

Published: September 2023

The analysis of the structure of the aerobic capabilities of qualified dancers, their manifestations in the process of competitive activity give reasons to claim that the activation of neurogenic hypoxic and complex neurogenic and acidemic stimulus reactions can be a factor of improving the functional capabilities of athletes. The purpose of the research is to prove the effectiveness of the training program for sportsmen engaged in sports dancing. Research results. The application of the program of training tools proved that the increase in the aerobic function of the body occurred due to the stimulation of the cardiorespiratory system of the body. This is evidenced by the optimization of the heart rate response in conditions of load intensity close to the zone of maximum manifestation of the athletes' aerobic capabilities, which is associated with an increase in the number of peak values of the heart rate response close to the level of maximum oxygen consumption, an increase in the stability of the achieved levels of function in this period, etc. The increase in the functional capabilities of dancers is recorded by the increase in reactions characterizing different aspects of the aerobic potential of athletes. To a greater extent, these changes related to those aspects of the athletes' aerobic capabilities that affected the performance of dancers in the threshold zone of anaerobic metabolism and in conditions of increasing fatigue in the process of competitive activity.

Conclusions. The obtained results confirmed the changes in the rate of unfolding of the reactions. A significant increase in the indicators of the speed of the development of reactions of dancers under the influence of special training tools was noted.

Published: September 2023

Rhodococcosis is a zoonotic disease caused by Rhodococcus equi, and it is considered the major cause of bronchopneumonia in foals under six months old. This affliction comprises high rates of morbidity and mortality in horses, mainly in foals less than one month old. In humans, this illness only affects individuals who are immunosuppressed. Rhodococcus equi is an opportunistic, facultative intracellular, gram-positive bacterium that multiplies inside macrophages, and has the characteristic of being endemic to horse breeding farms due to the easiness with which it multiplies and lives on the soil, which is one of the factors responsible for the large distribution of this disease. The premature diagnosis with hematological exams, PCR, and imaging exams such as chest ultrasound and chest radiography, are essential to the disease’s prognosis. The treatment is based on the use of antimicrobials. Nonetheless, the bacterium is highly resistant to them, a factor that hinders the action of the therapy. The objective of this data survey was to discuss the high incidence of Rhodococcus equi infections that compromise foals, and to present a case of chronic rhodococcosis in a two-month-old foal, reporting mostly the clinical history and the drugs used during treatment, until the resolution of the case and the foal’s discharge.

Сучасні ринкові умови вимагають від виробників мінімізації витрат на технологічні процеси вирощування сільськогосподарських культур для отримання максимального прибутку. Однією з важливих умов вибору та застосування тих чи інших агротехнічних заходів у технології вирощування картоплі є отримання високих врожаїв, максимального чистого прибутку та високого рівня рентабельності. Серед технологічних прийомів вирощування столової картоплі застосування добрив є однією з найдорожчих статей. Тому застосування рідких фосфорних добрив та балансування систем удобрення мезоелементами є одним із найперспективніших заходів у цьому плані. Метою досліджень було визначення економічної ефективності систем збалансованого живлення картоплі столової макро- та мезоелементами на темно-сірому опідзоленому ґрунті в умовах Лівобережного Лісостепу України з використанням рідких фосфорних добрив. Дослідження проводили в польовому досліді кафедри агрохімії та якості продукції рослинництва ім. О.І. Душечкіна Національного університету біоресурсів і природокористування України на базі ТОВ "Біотех" (Бориспільський район, Київська область) протягом 2015-2017 років. Площа облікової ділянки становила 40 м2, повторність досліду - 3-кратна. Розміщення варіантів - систематичне. Дослідження показали, що застосування рідких фосфорних добрив у нормі Р105 на фоні N120К180 показало високу економічну ефективність при вирощуванні картоплі столової та дозволило отримати умовний чистий прибуток 54,4 тис. грн/га та рівень рентабельності 59%. Внесення в схему стартового добрива Ca21Mg15B1,5 спричинило зростання економічних показників відносно контролю, але зниження порівняно з аналогічними варіантами без цих елементів. Причиною цього є внесення фосфору та кальцію в один шар темно-сірого опідзоленого ґрунту, що спровокувало їх взаємодію та утворення тризаміщених фосфатів, які, в свою чергу, призвели до зниження врожайності. Перспективним напрямом подальших досліджень є різноглибинне внесення поживних речовин у технологіях вирощування картоплі столової

High-performance animal husbandry is impossible without the creation of a fodder base, in the formation of which an important place is assigned to the effective use of natural fodder phytocenoses. The theoretical aspects of the formation of their high productivity and nutrition, including at different clippings, are not fully elucidated today. Field research was carried out during 2014-2016 in the conditions of SS NULES of Ukraine "Agronomic Research Station" on typical low-humus chernozem. The purpose of the research was to study the influence of technological methods of growing meadow grasses on the formation of the yield of meadow grasses and their distribution along the clippings in the conditions of the right-bank forest-steppe of Ucraine. It was established that alfalfa and alfalfa-cereal grass stands are characterized by the best distribution of the harvest along clippings, regardless of fertilization, in which the share of the total yield in the first clippings was 40-42 %, in the second - 32-33 %, and in the third - 25-27 % due to unevenness in the range of 21-26 %, while on cereal grass - respectively, 50-51 %, 31-34, 15-19 % and irregularly - 48-55 %. During the formation of the first clippings, the increase in the productivity of the sown grass stands occurs before the onset of the flowering phase of the dominant components. The maximum daily increases in dry matter (96-149 kg/ha) and the net productivity of photosynthesis (2.58-3.52 g/m2 day) are observed in the phase of branching and budding of alfalfa and alfalfa-cereal grass stands with the application of P60K90 and in the period from the end the phase of emergence into the tube before the beginning of earing of the dominant cereals on the cereal grass stand with the introduction of N60P60K90. The leaf surface index reached maximum values (37.2-45.1 thousand m2/ha) with the onset of the earing phase in dominant cereals and budding in legumes with a share of leaves in the structure of the grass stand at the level of 29-49 %. In leguminous-cereal grass stands, the leaf surface and foliage during the vegetation phases after reaching the maximum values decrease more slowly than in cereals.

Objective: The characteristics of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSC), isolated from buccal fat pads when cultured in media supplemented, with either autologous human serum (AHS group) or fetal bovine serum (FBS group) were compared.Material and Methods: Buccal fat tissue was harvested from six patients, who had undergone surgical removal of their maxillary third molars or underwent orthognathic surgeries. ADSC were isolated from the tissue, via an enzymatic digestion method and cultured in the media of the AHS and FBS groups (n=6/group). Colony forming units-fibroblast (CFU-F), immune-phenotyping markers, growth and multi-differentiation of the cells from both groups were compared.Results:The number of CFU-F and the cell growth of the AHS group were significantly greater than those of the FBS group (p-value<0.05). The expressions of the mesenchymal and hematopoietic stem cell markers of both groups were not statistically different. The cells of both groups had the potential for adipogenesis, chondrogenesis and osteogenesis when cultured in inductive conditions.Conclusion: The immunophenotype and multi-differentiation of ADSC, which were cultured in AHS- and FBS- media, were not different. However, the AHS medium could support the capacity for forming colonies and growth of the cells better than the FBS medium.

PREVALÊNCIA DE SARCOPENIA EM PACIENTES DIALÍTICOS NO SUL DO BRASIL: ESTUDO TRANSVERSAL
Authors: Vogt Bianca , Dipp Thiago
Published: September 2023

Pacientes com insuficiência renal crônica (IRC) em hemodiálise (HD) apresentam a chamada síndrome urêmica com alterações significativas do sistema musculoesquelético. Objetivo deste estudo foi investigar a prevalência de sarcopenia em pacientes com IRC em HD. Estudo transversal com pacientes em HD onde foi avaliada a força de preensão palmar (FPP) por dinamometria, massa muscular pela circunferência da panturrilha (CP), desempenho físico pelo timed-up-and-go test (TUG) e a qualidade de vida pelo questionário Kidney Disease Quality of Life Short-Form (KDQOL-SF). Foram avaliados 22 pacientes (54,2% mulheres) com idade de 54,7±11,9 anos. Foi identificada uma prevalência de 27,2% de sarcopenia na amostra. A redução da força muscular (59,1% da amostra) foi mais predominante que a redução da massa muscular (40,9%). O desempenho no TUG foi adequado e associou-se diretamente com a idade e com as pontuações nos domínios de Função Cognitiva, Função Física e Energia/Fadiga do KDQOL-SG e inversamente com a força do membro superior sem a fístula. Aproximadamente um terço dos pacientes em HD apresentam sarcopenia com predominância das alterações na força muscular. Ainda, componentes físicos e clínicos apresentaram associação assim como com a percepção de qualidade de vida
COMPARAÇÃO DA FORÇA DE PREENSÃO PALMAR E EQUILÍBRIO ENTRE IDOSOS SEDENTÁRIOS E PRATICANTES DE MUSCULAÇÃO
Authors: Pereira de Andrade Kárita Sátiro , Casa Junior Adroaldo José
Published: September 2023

Introdução: Para ter independência funcional é necessário ter força muscular e equilíbrio, todavia, com o envelhecer, é natural que essas capacidades e valências sofram deterioração, mas sabe-se que o sedentarismo contribui para que esse processo seja mais acelerado. Objetivo: Comparar a força de preensão palmar e o equilíbrio entre idosos sedentários e praticantes de musculação. Metodologia: Estudo observacional, comparativo, transversal e quantitativo, com 26 idosos. Os participantes foram submetidos ao Teste de Equilíbrio de Berg para avaliação do equilíbrio e risco de quedas e Dinamometria de Preensão Palmar para aferição da força de preensão manual. Adotou-se um nível de significância de 5% (p≤0,05). Resultados: A média de idade dos participantes foi de 70,6 anos (±7,05). Em relação à força de preensão palmar, não houve diferença significativa à esquerda e à direita entre os grupos avaliados, uma vez que os valores de p foram 0,63 e 0,54, respectivamente. Não houve diferença significativa no equilíbrio apresentado pelos idosos dos grupos da pesquisa, haja vista que o valor de p nessa comparação foi de 0,54. Por outro lado, os sedentários apresentaram risco de quedas significativamente maior (p=0,02) em relação aos praticantes de musculação. Conclusão: Verificamos que os resultados referentes ao equilíbrio e força de preensão manual foram semelhantes entre os idosos praticantes de musculação e sedentários. O grupo de sedentários apresentou maior risco de quedas (33,3% dos participantes) em relação ao grupo praticante de musculação (0%) (p=0,02).

Objetivo: analisar o cenário da cidade de Macaé na comercialização de fórmulas infantis e produtos de puericultura, segundo o contexto da Norma Brasileira de Comercialização de Alimentos para Lactentes (NBCAL). Método: pesquisa transversal e observacional, entre fevereiro e maio de 2022, por meio de um censo em farmácias, supermercados e lojas de enxoval para bebês, que comercializam produtos abrangidos pela NBCAL. A análise se deu por observação direta em três momentos diferentes e no mesmo estabelecimento comercial,
com intervalo de uma semana entre as visitas. Resultados: Foram avaliados dez estabelecimentos comerciais (2 lojas de enxoval para bebês, 4 farmácias e 4 supermercados). Não foram encontradas qualquer infração nas lojas de enxoval para nenhum dos produtos analisados, enquanto as farmácias e supermercados apresentaram ao menos um tipo de infração. As farmácias foram os estabelecimentos com pior análise, pois todas (100%) apresentaram algum tipo de infração para as fórmulas infantis e 50% para os bicos, chupetas, mamadeiras e protetores de mamilo. Quanto aos supermercados, apenas um (25%) apresentou infração para ambos os produtos analisados. Conclusão: O estudo mostrou que os estabelecimentos realizavam promoção comercial ilegal de fórmulas infantis e produtos correlatos, o que demonstra a importância da capacitação local e de funcionários dos estabelecimentos quanto a NBCAL, para garantir a proteção da amamentação.
Méthode de Classification Hiérarchique Descendante autour de Variables Latentes
Authors: Tfeil Brahim Mohamed
Published: September 2023

La classification hiérarchique des variables autour des variables latentes consiste à regrouper les variables initiales (observées) autour des variables latentes (inobservées) qui forment la résultante des variables au sein des groupes sous-jacents (un équivalent du barycentre pour les variables situées dans le même groupe). Cette méthode est surtout utile quand on dispose de données de grandes dimensions dont la représentation des variables devient encombrée sur les axes principaux. Une première approche de classification hiérarchique ascendante autour des variables latentes, nommée CLV, a été réalisée par Vigneau et al (2003) et constitue une méthode robuste et complète en classification des variables. L’objectif de ce travail est de proposer une nouvelle approche par classification descendante autour des variables latentes. La conception de cette approche se base sur le principe qu’à l’étape initiale, toutes les variables sont regroupées en une seule classe, ensuite on procède à une division en deux à chaque fois jusqu’à aboutir au nombre de classe cherché. Ceci nécessite de créer un processus itératif de division et de calcul des composantes latentes, pour affecter les variables à des classes organisées autour de ces composantes latentes à chaque niveau de divisons.
The Fight Against Corruption in the Chinese Army as an Important Component of the Work to Strengthen the Armed Forces. Part 2
Authors: Gorbachev Boris N.
Published: September 2023

The article analyzes the fight against corruption, violation of moral norms and rules of conduct, which began to infiltrate the armed forces of China in the 1980s as the socio-economic transformations in the country and the reform of the armed forces advanced. These negative phenomena reflected the general situation of corruption in Chinese society, since the military personnel, as part of society, were not isolated from it. In the 2010s, corruption reached a large scale, corroding the army from the inside, reducing the combat and morale of the troops.

The situation changed dramatically after Xi Jinping came to the supreme power in the country and the army. He personally led the fight against corruption in the country and the army, showed political will to remove top leaders from their positions, up to members of the Politburo of the CPC and vice-presidents of the Central Military Commission of the PRC.

The author shows what results various anti-corruption measures brought, becoming an important component of the efforts of the PRC leadership to strengthen the country’s armed forces, and states that the comprehensive work to prevent corruption and decay in the army will continue for a long time.
