In the Monumentum Ancyranum Augustus makes some interesting and, if we can unravel them, undoubtedly important statements, from which certain deductions seem possible as to the number of his legionary soldiers, the rate of mortality among them, their length of service and the provisions made for them after their dicharge. Quite early in the Monument (I. 16–19) we get the following general assertion: ‘About five hundred thousand Roman citizens were bound to me by the military oath. Of these, after the due expiry of their service, I settled in colonies or sent back to their own municipia somewhat more than three hundred thousand. And to all of them I gave land purchased by myself, or in lieu of land sums of money out of my own resources.’ From the place of this statement in that part of the record relating to his earlier career we might be tempted to infer (a) that the five hundred thousand legionaries were those who formed his armies at the time of Antony's collapse, and (b) that the discharge of three hundred thousand of them, whether planted in colonies or sent back to their domiciles, took place at one and the same time. With regard to the second point, we shall see presently that the vague and indiscriminate statement made here is cleared up by a later passage (III. 22 sqq.), from which it appears that the assignation of land belongs to two distinct schemes of colonizations, separated by sixteen years, and that the restoration of discharged soldiers to their municipalities, to whom alone the words ‘pecuniam pro agris dedi’ are applicable, belongs to a still later date.

Combat Readiness

The radical changes in the nature of modern military conflicts, the range and content of the tasks involved in the Armed Forces of Ukraine require a series of measures aimed at improving their training system. One of the components of the Armed Forces training is combat training, which is conducted both in peacetime and during a special period. The experience of the counter-terrorist operation and the operation of the Joint Forces in eastern Ukraine shows that the successful accomplishment of combat tasks by tank brigades (units) to a large extent depends on the effectiveness of combat training during combat readiness recovery, the result of which is their preparedness level. All this requires finding and implementing new approaches to the organization and conduction of combat training during combat readiness recovery, which requires the development of a scientific and methodological apparatus to assess their preparedness level. Based on scientific and methodological approaches to assessing the effectiveness of military units combat training and the experience of carrying out combat readiness recovery, the article presents a partial methodology for assessing the tank brigade preparedness level during combat readiness recovery, which takes into account the preparedness level of each structural unit of the brigade, taking into account its importance. Assessing the preparedness level of the tank brigade structural unit is calculated by dependence, which takes into account the overall level of military personnel training and their coherence.The indicators that characterize the training level of the serviceman include: the level of individual abilities of the serviceman, length of service and occupational training courses in the field of activity. The level of coherence in the management of the military unit depends on the experience gained by each serviceman in the occupied position during the exercise (training), taking into account their importance, and the unit – on the results of working out of collective training standards.This partial method allows to make quantitative assessment of the tank brigade preparedness level to perform the tasks on purpose, and also identifies "weaknesses" in carrying out combat recovery, which necessitates the development of recommendations for improving the efficiency of combat recovery. The results of the study can be used in the practice of restoring the combat capability of tank brigades and in the research on the readiness level assessment in scientific institutions.

The Relationship

This article uses data from the National Longitudinal Survey of Youth to examine the relationship between service in the All Volunteer Force (AVF) military and educational attainment. Through the use of fixed-effects estimators, the author generated estimates of the effect of military service on the highest grade of school completed by men that are purged of the confounding effects of constant unmeasured household-specific and person-specific variables. He also implemented another series of controls for selectivity involving potential time-varying factors by comparing active-duty veterans to reserve-duty veterans and nonveterans who at some time indicated their intentions to enter the military. The results indicate that there is considerable diversity in the effect of military service among veterans according to such variables as education prior to service, score on the Armed Forces Qualification Test, branch of service, length of service, age at entry into the military, and race. Overall, however, veterans of the AVF receive less education than their civilian counterparts, and this educational gap tends to grow over time.

This work focuses on the problem of burnout syndrome in officers of power structures. The following parameters are studied in the research: emotional and mental stability and volitional behavior control. These play a role in the creation of the syndrome and influence the success of combat missions carried out by the military personnel. Key areas were identified in studying the personality characteristics of power structures officers with various times of service. Officers of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation took part in the study. The average age of the test subjects was 38 years. The results of the empirical examination are presented. It was aimed to find how one's emotional and mental stability, volitional behavior control and emotional burnout correlate. We have confirmed that the burnout level of a military serviceman with any length of service depends on his/hey emotional and mental stability and volitional behavior control. The findings of the study we performed can serve as foundation for preventive and psychological-interventional programming for power structures officers.

Annotation. Despite the prevalence of seborrheic dermatitis (SD), especially among young people, little is known about its clinical and anamnestic features in the population of Ukraine. To fill this gap, it is necessary to conduct a study of reliable data obtained from the domestic sample of working age. The aim of the study is to find the clinical and anamnestic features of men and women with generalized fatty form of seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity. A survey of 40 men and 40 young women (25-44 years according to the age periodization of the WHO, 2015) in patients with generalized fatty seborrheic dermatitis was conducted on the basis of the Department of Skin and Venereal Diseases with a postgraduate course in National Pirogov Memorial Medical University, Vinnytsya and the Military Medical Clinical Center of the Central Region. Retrospective analysis included assessment of passport, anamnestic, clinical data. Diagnosis of SD was established on the basis of complaints of the subject, life history and illness, examination of the face, scalp, torso and extremities with the assessment of subjective and objective signs of the disease. Statistical analysis was performed using the license package “Statistica 6.0”. It was found that the severity of SD increased with increasing length of service and depended on the type of professional activity. Stress, temperature, humidity, smoking, heredity caused the manifestation or exacerbation of dermatosis. Acne and rosacea often accompanied severe SD. Itching and oiliness of the skin, rash on the head and face, erythematous spots and plaques, the predominance of red dermographism were observed in both types of flow, and the feeling of dirt, localization of pathological elements on the body, sebaceous scales – only in severe. Thus, the data obtained in our study can form the basis for the development of an algorithm for monitoring patients with generalized seborrheic dermatitis of varying severity.

In many respects, the least important part of the 1999 elections were the elections themselves. From the beginning of General Abdusalam Abubakar’s transition program in mid-1998, most Nigerians who were not part of the wealthy “political class” of elites—which is to say, most Nigerians— adopted their usual politically savvy perspective of siddon look (sit and look). They waited with cautious optimism to see what sort of new arrangement the military would allow the civilian politicians to struggle over, and what in turn the civilians would offer the public. No one had any illusions that anything but high-stakes bargaining within the military and the political class would determine the structures of power in the civilian government. Elections would influence this process to the extent that the crowd influences a soccer match.
