The article is devoted to the analysis of the results of the survey of the servicemen of the National Guard of Ukraine, who directly perform combat tasks, regarding the compliance with real needs and the quality of items of tangible and food property as part of combat equipment, with which they were provided during the performance of assigned tasks. The survey and analysis of its results was conducted in order to prepare proposals for improving the complex of combat equipment of a serviceman in terms of material and food supply. According to the results of the analysis, it was established that, mainly, the material and food supply allows satisfying the needs for the effectiveness of the actions of military personnel, their security on the battlefield, and life activities when they are away from the points of permanent stay. At the same time, there were certain needs for making additions and changes to the structure of items of material support, defined by current regulations. They concern, mainly, those elements that are designed to ensure vital activities during a long stay in combat positions in difficult conditions. These needs are determined by the different dynamics of the development of the enemy's means of armed struggle and the combat equipment of servicemen. In addition, it is shown that there is a need to improve the quality of certain items of physical support, in particular combat uniforms. With regard to food supply during combat missions, respondents indicated the need to improve dry rations in a number of aspects and components. The article also proposes the distribution of items of physical support, which are needed at the moment but which are not provided for in the current regulations, according to the levels of their need for the purpose of additional study of proposals and efficiency of introduction to the regulations.

Due to the complexity of modeling terminal ballistics processes and the necessity to apply numerous assumptions, the investigation of the impact of the projectile's energy characteristics on the target is best conducted using experimental methods. Ballistic plasticine, especially the "Beschussmasse" brand, is widely used for simulating processes associated with firearm injuries. A challenge with any target simulator is the temperature dependence of its mechanical properties. Decreased temperatures lead to increased strength and reduced plasticity of materials and vice versa. It has been established that the volume and shape of the cavity depend not only on the target simulator's temperature but also on the kinetic energy of the impacting element. The research has yielded empirical relationships between the volume of the final cavity in the ballistic plasticine target simulator and the temperature of the target simulator and the kinetic energy of the impacting element. These relationships allow for the assessment of the impact of the striking element on the target simulator, specifically on the volume of the final cavity within the temperature range of the plasticine target simulator from 5°C to 25°C. Results obtained at any given temperature of the target simulator can be adjusted to the volume of the final cavity at normal temperature. This eliminates the need to strictly adhere to the normal temperature of the target simulator, significantly simplifying the process of related experimental research. To reduce the relative error in measuring the volume of the final cavity, it is advisable to prefer higher temperatures of the target simulator (within the investigated range). The direction of further research involves establishing the relationship between the effects of the impacting element with identical characteristics on a biological target and a target simulator, followed by correlating the damages of the target simulator to the biological target.

A promising direction for improving the accuracy and operational efficiency of firing artillery systems is the development of ballistic computers that implement procedures for determining settings using the solution of a system of differential equations (mathematical model) that describe the movement of a projectile in the air. The main problem in the development of mathematical models is the possibility of determining with a given accuracy the coefficients of aerodynamic forces (moments) that are in the right-hand sides of differential equations. An urgent issue in this direction is the study of the possibility of restoring the coefficients of aerodynamic forces (moments) by solving the inverse problem of external ballistics using mathematical models of projectile flight. The movement of projectiles is usually described using one of three mathematical models, which differ from each other in the main level of complexity and, accordingly, the level of adequacy to the real process of projectile movement in the air. Therefore, the complexity of recovery procedures is determined by the number of coefficients of aerodynamic forces (moments) and differential equations included in mathematical models. A modified model of a material point is presented as a mathematical model of projectile flight in which all aerodynamic forces are taken into account, the orientation of the projectile is characterized by taking into account the nutation angle, and the kinetic energy of the rotational movement is taken into account through the angular velocity of the projectile around its axis of symmetry. It is shown that the modified material point model is determined by adding an implicit ordinary differential equation - an equation that describes the nutational oscillations of the projectile, which depend on the acceleration of its flight. Procedures for converting the system of differential equations of the modified material point model to an explicit form are disclosed, which allows them to be solved on the basis of standard numerical methods.

The experience of combat operations and military conflicts in recent decades has shown the increasing role of wheeled armored vehicles (WAVs). In recent years, a significant number of wheeled armored vehicles have been developed, manufactured and adopted by military formations and law enforcement agencies of Ukraine for various purposes. These WAVs are widely used to eliminate illegal armed groups, sabotage and reconnaissance groups, patrolling or clearing areas of special operations, providing fire support for tactical, special, reconnaissance and mobile groups, and moving troops quickly with the required level of protection. The main property of WAVs that characterizes its adaptability to perform the intended combat tasks is their combat capability. In modern scientific literature, there is no single approach and procedure for determining this property of military equipment. Therefore, the purpose of the article is to define the concept of combat capability of WAVs, their components, to obtain a dependence for assessing the level of combat capability of WAVs and to determine the impact of individual properties on it. The article defines the concept of combat capability of WAVs, provides a mathematical apparatus for determining the complex indicator of combat capability of various WAVs, taking into account the reliability, security, armament, stability and recoverability of equipment. Evaluation of combat capability of WAVs allows to determine the impact of various factors on the combat capability indicator and to identify the ways to ensure the combat capability of military equipment at the proper level. The direction of further research is to study the influence of the wheeled armored vehicles properties on the performance of the intended tasks by the units of the National Guard of Ukraine.

This article highlights the results of a study on delineating the functional potential and capabilities of narrative as an instrument for shaping the collective consciousness of military personnel. It underlines the significance and role of narratives in motivation, identity formation, common goals and actions, strengthening psychological resilience, cooperation, and other essential aspects of successful military operations. Narratives can help military personnel understand why they are fighting and what they are fighting for, thereby enhancing their motivation to persevere in the face of challenges. Narratives about defending the country or upholding values can make military personnel feel that their work is meaningful, helping them overcome fear and the difficulties associated with military service. Narratives can also make military personnel feel that they are part of something larger than themselves. Narratives about shared history or common values can help them feel like they belong to a community and bridge cultural differences. Furthermore, narratives can assist military personnel in understanding what they need to do and why it is crucial, aiding them in working together to achieve common objectives. Narratives outlining strategies or action plans can help military personnel comprehend what it takes to succeed, avoiding confusion and enhancing their effectiveness. Narratives reinforce the psychological resilience of military personnel by disseminating personalized stories that resonate with their values and experiences. Narratives of heroism and bravery can help military personnel find the strength to continue the fight and overcome the fear and trauma associated with warfare. This article underscores the significant potential of narratives in shaping the corporate culture and internal image of a military organization due to their ability to create a shared vision, define values, and establish norms of behaviour. The crucial role of narratives is highlighted in communication, building trust, and managing changes among military personnel, as well as their impact on understanding and fulfilling duties. By disseminating a corporate narrative, military personnel improve communication and foster unity within a combat unit. This unity is vital for effective teamwork and task accomplishment. The potential of narratives in shaping the corporate culture and internal image of a military organization is considered a key aspect of the study. Narratives possess a unique ability to create a shared vision and define values and norms of behavior that form the foundation of a robust organizational culture. This shared culture reflected in the narrative serves as a source of pride and identity for military personnel.
DIRECTION IMPROVING COMPOSITION THE DAILY SET OF DRY PRODUCTS FOR MILITARY PERSONNEL OF THE NGU ON THE BASIS OF SIMILAR SETS DRY RATIONS OF THE NATO ARMIES

Published: January 2024

The article is devoted to the issue of determining the direction improving the composition daily set of dry products for military personnel of the NSU on the basis similar sets of dry rations armies NATO member countries and the approved norms physiological needs military personnel in basic nutrients and energy. Comprehensive and uninterrupted support forces of the security and defense sector is considered one of the main factors in the successful conduct of hostilities. The importance of the food supply system is universally recognized, and in modern conditions it acquires even greater importance, since hostilities continue in the country and, unfortunately, quite often situations arise when it is impossible to provide personnel with full hot food. This, in turn, can reduce the quality performance of military and combat tasks. The procedure for organizing food supply for military personnel of the NSU is established by the Order of the Minister of Internal Affairs dated September 14, 2015 No. 1118 "Regulations on the Food Supply of the National Guard of Ukraine in Peacetime". This order determines that for the nutrition of personnel outside the permanent deployment points, in the event that it is not possible to prepare hot food from products according to the basic norm, the personnel is provided with a daily set of dry products (PNSP) or a daily field set of products (DPNP). This is norm No. 10 and norm No. 15, which are stipulated by the Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine dated March 29, 2002. No. 426. A study of the range of basic meals that are part of the PNSP and DPNP certainly indicates the benefit of a sufficiently large number of meals that a serviceman will be able to receive. However, it should also be noted that the increase in the number names of dishes occurs, firstly, due to only the change of the "meat component" (chicken, beef, pork) and secondly, the addition one name of a vegetable to the main dish, which almost does not change taste properties of the dish, for example: "wheat porridge with chicken and vegetables" and "wheat porridge with chicken, vegetables and sweet pepper". Such an approach cannot fully take into account: firstly, the best experience of providing food to military personnel of the leading NATO member countries; secondly, the norms of physiological needs of servicemen in basic food substances and energy.

Published: January 2024

Considered possible areas of application of means of detecting damaged armored vehicles in the technical intelligence system of the National Guard of Ukraine and the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A study of existing types of means of detecting damaged armored vehicles using modern equipment installed on unmanned aerial vehicles was carried out, and their application features were described. The analysis of foreign experience in the use and development of unmanned technologies in the field of search and evacuation of damaged armored vehicles was carried out. The advantages of unmanned means of detecting damaged equipment and weapons when combined with traditional means of technical intelligence are determined. Prospective areas of application of means of detecting damaged equipment and weapons, based on modern technologies, which are aimed at increasing the efficiency of the technical intelligence system of military units and individual units during operations (combat operations) in modern armed conflicts, are considered. According to foreign experts, the term intelligence is the result of obtaining, evaluating, analyzing, summarizing and interpreting all available information that relates to one or more theaters of military operations, which have direct or potential significance for planning. One of the types of intelligence by tasks, forces, means and methods is technical intelligence. Technical intelligence is the organization of intelligence activities based on the application of technical means. Depending on the nature of the signals that are perceived by technical means, one of the types of technical intelligence is photo intelligence and infrared intelligence (species intelligence), which are based on the interception of light waves. Species intelligence - collection of intelligence information based on the analysis of a large number of images obtained with the help of photographic, optical-electronic or radar equipment. According to its characteristics, reconnaissance belongs to the technical types of reconnaissance and includes air and space reconnaissance. Species reconnaissance uses photographs taken both in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum and infrared, multispectral photographs. Radar images for species reconnaissance are formed by radar equipment with a synthesized aperture in various electromagnetic ranges. Spectral reconnaissance should be distinguished from radio-electronic reconnaissance, which uses non-imaging optical-electronic and radar equipment.

THE CONCEPT OF «MASS CONSCIOUSNESS» IN THE PROJECTION ONTO PROFESSIONAL GROUPING OF THE MILITARY
Authors:   The National academy of hte National Guard of Ukraine, Pelepeichenko L.
Published: January 2024

The article examines the issue of variation of the concept of mass consciousness in the projection onto social groups. It has been proven that the term "mass consciousness" in the projection on social groups is not correct and needs clarification. The aim of the research is to substantiate the specifics of the transformation of the mentioned concept in relation to the professional grouping of the military. The transformation of the analyzed concept is considered as its variation determined by the type of bearer of the attribute "mass consciousness". A cognitive-semantic approach with the use of elements of conceptual analysis is adopted for the study of the semantic content of the concept. Interconceptual connections are established according to three vectors: according to the meaning of the word combination that nominates the analyzed term: "mass consciousness"; by the meaning of the components "consciousness" and "mass". As a result of the analysis of the term in the form of a word combination, the following semantic elements of the concept have been distinguished: "the content of the reflection of the world picture in the minds of the masses"; "formation sources"; "methods of formation". The "consciousness" component is viewed as the basis for the content of the concept, and the "mass" component – for detection the identification features of the carrier of mass consciousness, nominated by the word "masses". The identification features of the concept of "masses" have been singled out: lack of structure; a large number when it is impossible to determine the exact number of carriers of the trait; lack of common life attitudes and value priorities. It has been proven that professional groups, in particular the military, do not correspond to any of the identifying features of the "mass" nominee: they have a clear structure, a defined number of people, a commonality of life attitudes and professional value priorities. It has been concluded that the concept of "mass consciousness" changes in the projection onto social groups, and it transforms into "collective consciousness". The cognitive structures of the concepts "mass consciousness" and "collective consciousness" have been modeled, and the similarities and differences between the terms "mass consciousness" (the basic concept) and "collective consciousness" (its variant in connection to social groups) have been identified.

Published: January 2024

Military trucks carry out transport work in extremely difficult road conditions and in conditions of enemy fire. Therefore, the efficiency and reliability of the braking system is of particular importance. The necessary values of the braking performance indicators are laid down at the stage of designing the car and must comply with national regulatory documents and the international regulatory document, which is the UN/ECE Regulation No. 13. The need to check the braking properties for compliance with regulatory requirements may also arise during the creation of modifications of a serial car. Therefore, the development of a methodology for checking the braking properties of a car for compliance with regulatory requirements should be considered an urgent task. The purpose of the article is the formation of a graphic-analytical technique for checking the braking properties of a military truck for compliance with regulatory requirements. To achieve the specified goal, a formula scheme for calculating the normal reactions of the support surface on the wheels of the car, calculating the indicator of the ratio of braking forces between the axles of the car and calculating the curves of the realized coupling. Definitions of these parameters were performed for a military truck selected as a prototype. The basic and alternative requirements of Regulation No. 13 regarding the distribution of braking forces between vehicle axles and the requirements regarding the ratio of the coefficients of the realized clutch in the given range of the change of the braking coefficient have been defined. A graphical analysis of compliance of the car-prototype car's braking qualities with regulatory requirements was carried out. The results of the analysis show that the braking system at any level of vehicle load meets the requirements of UN/ECE Regulation No. 13. The developed methodology for checking the braking properties of a military truck for compliance with regulatory requirements can be used for a reasonable choice of the indicator distribution of braking forces at the stage of brake system design. The methodology can also be used for the verification calculation of the braking system in the case of creating modifications of a serial car and (or) introducing structural changes in the braking system of the car.

Published: January 2024

In the conditions of war, the priority task of the state becomes ensuring its national security. At the same time, the combat effectiveness of the army and its ability to protect the country from an aggressor depend on the effectiveness of the rear support system. But the functioning of the rear support system is affected by many factors that need to be evaluated. The purpose of the scientific article is to develop a methodical approach to assessing the effectiveness of the rear support system of the armed forces of Ukraine, taking into account external and internal influencing factors. Research methods are: method of logical analysis, graphical method, literature review method and method of taxonomic analysis. Based on the method of taxonomic analysis, the author developed a methodical approach that allows obtaining an integral indicator of the quality of the rear support system. The evaluation is proposed to be carried out by such groups of factors as: political, economic, technological and social factors. The advantages of the approach proposed in the study are that it allows to comprehensively assess the effectiveness of the rear support system of the Armed Forces, to take into account the factors of external and internal influence, and to adapt the list of indicators in the conditions of the transformation of the environment. The results obtained according to the proposed methodical approach indicate an annual improvement in the efficiency of the rear support system of the armed forces of Ukraine. But regardless of these, its level is still insufficient in the conditions of hostilities in Ukraine. The obtained results have important theoretical and practical significance for improving the efficiency of the management of logistics system of the national armed forces.

Analysis of daily dry products (MRE, norm 10) shows that the nutrient composition, biological, energy and physiological value of the MRE do not fully satisfy the needs of the serviceman’s body during adaptation to the conditions of service, while performing duties in crisis and conflict regions of the country in emergency cases as well as in extreme conditions due to insufficient content of full-fledged animal proteins, unbalanced ratio of essential amino acids, such as: methionine, lysine and tryptophan, fat acids, insufficient content of mono- and disaccharides, imbalance between proteins, fats and carbohydrates in daily ration, lack of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, deficiency of vitamins A, В2 and C. The energy content of actual ration doesn’t fully compensate for the real average daily energy expenditure of the personnel [8-10, 13], which is 3500-4000 kcal for ground troops. The heavy physical, moral and psychological burdens faced by military personnel while performing service and combat missions increase the body's need for nutrients. It is possible to overcome the deficiency of essential nutrients, micro- and macronutrients by increasing the range of products in the ration. According to the scientists, either one liter of milk or 10 kilograms of beef or three kilograms of carrots ensure the daily norm of calcium. 500 grams of meat or one kilogram of black bread grant daily norm of vitamin B needed for the body. A bucket of apples, or 2 kg of carrots or 5 lemons can provide the body with daily norm of vitamin C. It is clear that this is not expedient from an economic point of view and because of the issue of mass-dimensional indicators, which do not fully cover the needs of personnel in combat environment. Today, the daily set of dry rations (MRE) is mainly made up of canned products. It is mostly represented by animal proteins in the composition of meat and meat-vegetable preserves. We believe that in order to solve the stated problems, it is necessary to develop new dry rations (MREs) taking into account service burden, conduct an analysis of the chemical composition, and adjust the rations according to minerals and vitamins. This will contribute to increasing the resistance of the body of military personnel to intense physical and environmentally unfavorable burdens and will improve the level of their military and professional efficiency.

Ensuring road safety is an urgent problem that requires an immediate solution by our state. The death toll in road accidents in Ukraine is approximately 14 % of those killed throughout Europe, and the number of cars is only 2.2 %. One of the important tasks within the framework of the formulated problem is the improvement of existing methods for assessing the level of road safety. These methods include the calculation of the traffic safety factor. The justification for the introduction of this coefficient was determined taking into account the analysis of traffic accidents, which proved that most of them are concentrated on relatively short sections. Given the road conditions, safe driving in these areas is permissible only at limited speed. In previous studies, when setting the problem, only one kinematic parameter was taken into account – the speed of vehicles without the correct replacement of other unaccounted factors. The considered coefficient can be significantly refined through the use of the so-called energy approach. The analytical expressions should be based on the relationship between energy intensity and mass density and energy flow velocity. An important issue of ensuring road safety is to determine the operating conditions of vehicles. The main criteria in determining the group of operating conditions are the relative coefficient of change in the speed of the car, the acceleration of the car and the coefficient of "noise acceleration" of the car. A new energy coefficient has been obtained, which objectively characterizes traffic safety and additionally takes into account the composition of the flow. Also, a mathematical relationship between the traffic safety factor and acceleration noise was obtained, which proved the objectivity of the characteristics of the traffic flow and their generalizing properties.

The menopause, marked by a decrease in ovarian follicles and changes in female sex hormones, can trigger symptoms such as facial flushing and sleep disturbances. Hormonal fluctuations, notably a decrease in estrogen and progesterone, are associated with night-time awakenings and difficulty maintaining uninterrupted sleep. This condition has a negative impact on quality of life, leading to conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and depression. The transition to menopause intensifies sleep disorders, especially insomnia, which is often associated with hot flashes. Despite the lack of clear evidence on the efficacy of hormone therapy, its use persists, highlighting the need for personalized approaches. Therapeutic strategies, such as the fusion of hormone therapy with sleep hygiene and cognitive-behavioral therapy, are emerging as promising. Some recommendations include adjustments to sleep habits, regular exercise, and a balanced diet. In conclusion, menopause significantly influences sleep disorders in women, affecting various aspects of physical and emotional health. Comprehensive therapeutic strategies, including behavioral changes, hormone therapy, and nutritional support, show promise for improving quality of life during this inevitable transition in female aging.

Esse trabalho teve como objetivo descrever os principais fatores de risco, além das principais formas de prevenção do câncer gástrico. Foi realizada uma revisão integrativa de literatura, utilizou-se artigos encontrados nas bases de dados PubMed, SciELO, Lilacs e Sciencedirect, selecionando trabalhos publicados entre 2013 e 2023, na língua portuguesa, inglesa e espanhola, considerando-se os seguintes descritores: “fatores de risco”, “prevenção”, “câncer gástrico” e “Helicobacter pylori”. Encontrou-se um total de 421 trabalhos, sendo, por fim, selecionados 20 trabalhos para estudo. O processo de desenvolvimento do câncer gástrico é modulado por diversas condições, tendo como principais fatores de risco: a idade, o consumo de alimentos defumados, um histórico familiar positivo e a infecção pelo H. pylori. A prevenção do câncer gástrico pode ser dividida em primária e secundária. A prevenção primária busca minimizar os fatores de risco, já a prevenção secundária tem seu enfoque no diagnóstico precoce. Dessa forma, o conhecimento dos fatores de risco e fatores preventivos se configuram como importantes estratégias de controle da incidência do câncer gástrico.

Objetivo: Propor uma correção ventilatória para as causas diversas de disparo reverso (DR). Método: trata-se de um estudo observacional, descritivo e qualitativo onde foram analisados 19 pacientes submetidos em ventilação mecânica invasiva (VMI), apresentando assincronia de disparo reverso. Foi utilizado para classificação dos grupos dos pacientes com disparo reverso reflexo (DRR) Vs baixo drive (DRB) a manobra de pausa expiratória de aproximadamente 3 seg. Na ausência de pressão muscular (Pmus), estes eram classificados no grupo DRR e os que apresentaram ativação da Pmus no grupo DRB. Resultados: Foi observado que as manobras de correção que visam diminuição do “Strain” pulmonar, tais quais, redução do volume corrente total (VT), redução de frequência respiratória programada (FR) e redução da pressão expiratória positiva final (PEEP) apresentou eficácia para a correção do grupo DRR. Já as condutas de ajustes ventilatórios com determinação de FR de apoio (10 a 12ipm), associado à redução ou stop de sedação/bloqueador, foram eficientes para os pacientes do grupo DBB. Conclusão: Nota-se que a determinação e classificação das diferentes causas de DR podem nortear as condutas clínicas de correção além de ajustes ventilatórios adequados para cada grupo destas assincronias, os de DRR e DRB. Os casos de DRR (DR reflexo-involuntário) apresentaram resultado de 50% de sucesso na terapêutica determinada, havendo maiores necessidades de pesquisas para identificar com maior exatidão a etiologia da causa reflexa, para que novos métodos de correção sejam dispostas no campo científico, para a correção dessa dissincronismo reflexo.
