Infections of the respiratory tract (acute respiratory infection (ARI), acute bronchitis, pneumonia, etc.), skin and subcutaneous tissue (pyodermas) are the most urgent for the conscripts in training units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. The most common complication of ARI is community acquired pneumonia, severe course of which leads to an unfavorable outcome. In the first period of military service in a number of military units up to the one-third of the military personnel gets pyoderma. Factors of military service and a significant reduction in body immunoresistance of recruits contribute to the high incidence. The use of herbal drug preparation "Karmolis drop" with a prophylactic purpose permits to significantly reduce the incidence of ARI in military units - in 2,0-3,3 times. Also, there was noticed a decrease in the incidence of pneumonias - 2.33.0 times, tonsillitides - in 3,2-6,8 times, pyodermas - in 1,8-2,9 times. The use of the drug "Karmolis drop" has a pronounced non-specific protective effect and resistance to diseases of the respiratory system and pyoderma due to the increase of general non-specific resistance of the organism, allows to prevent substantial economic damage. The preparation can be recommended for the prevention of ARI and pyodermas in groups of troops prior to their seasonal breaks.

How did the Civil War, emancipation, and Reconstruction shape the masculinity of white Confederate veterans? As James J. Broomall shows, the crisis of the war forced a reconfiguration of the emotional worlds of the men who took up arms for the South. Raised in an antebellum culture that demanded restraint and shaped white men to embrace self-reliant masculinity, Confederate soldiers lived and fought within military units where they experienced the traumatic strain of combat and its privations together--all the while being separated from suffering families. Military service provoked changes that escalated with the end of slavery and the Confederacy's military defeat. Returning to civilian life, Southern veterans questioned themselves as never before, sometimes suffering from terrible self-doubt. Drawing on personal letters and diaries, Broomall argues that the crisis of defeat ultimately necessitated new forms of expression between veterans and among men and women. On the one hand, war led men to express levels of emotionality and vulnerability previously assumed the domain of women. On the other hand, these men also embraced a virulent, martial masculinity that they wielded during Reconstruction and beyond to suppress freed peoples and restore white rule through paramilitary organizations and the Ku Klux Klan.

Introduction. The article is devoted to Persians who served in the Early Byzantine armed forces. Even during the Principate period, alae and cohortes which were originally recruited from Parthians were part of the Roman imperial army. Units from Persian defectors and prisoners were also created from the 4th to the 6th century. Methods. Using tools of the positivist methodology makes it possible to provide a critical analysis of information from the sources. At the same time, the prosopographical method allows to study mechanisms of integration of immigrants from neighboring realms into the Early Byzantine society using examples of individual fates. Analysis. According to “Notitia Dignitatum”, a significant part of military units of Persian origin served in eastern provinces of the empire. It is also known that cavalry vexillationes which consisted of immigrants from Iran were included in mobile armies. Some numeri with Persian prisoners were transferred to Italy in the 6th century. These units consisted mainly of heavily armed horsemen who were famous for eastern neighbors of Rome and Byzantium. In the framework of the presented article, the author refers to individual personalities who held commanding posts in the imperial armed forces. It is important to note that among them there were representatives of the Sasanian family. Ormizdas, the son of Hormizd II, Kavad, the grandson of Kavad I, and Khosrow II sought to find salvation from Iranian strifes at the court of the emperors. These individuals were considered as completely loyal to Byzantium candidates for the Shahanshah’s throne. However, only Khosrow II managed to return victorious to Iran in 591 with the support of eastern Roman emperor Maurice. Results. The author concludes that military service was the main channel of integration into the society of the empire for Persian immigrants as well as other foreigners in the Late Antique period.

Community-acquired pneumonia is a disease of great military epidemiological importance to Armed Forces, especially among military conscripts due to fast spread of the disease, high morbidity rates, complication risks and significant productivity losses. System approach to prevention activities for community-acquired pneumonia allow to lower morbidity among military conscripts. There are two problems being solved using system approach which includes personnel vaccination (with pneumovax 23 vaccine). Firstly, activity of the epidemiological process is reduced which not only lowers morbidity rates but also improves course of the disease which is represented by decrease in percentage of severe cases and complications. Secondly, infection resistance among military conscripts increases. There is probability that this effect is caused by prophylactic use of Cycloferon - immunomodulator with wide activity spectrum.

Epidemiological Significance

Relevance. One of the most reliable and robust indicators of the health of military personnel is dismissal due to health reasons, it is practically not affected by external distortions, and dismissal-related nosologies are determined in hospital and subsequently approved by military medical experts.Intention. Analysis of the dismissal rate due to health reasons among conscripts in the Republic of Belarus for 16 years (2003-2018).Methodology. We conducted a statistical analysis of annual medical reports about the state of health and morbidity of conscripts (form N 3/MED) and annual reports about medical examination (form N 5/CVVK). Dismissal rates for the entire service time and for the periods I (0–6 months), II (7–12 months) and III (13–18 months) were identified and analyzed. Dismissal-related nosologies were correlated with the codes of the International Statistical Classification of Diseases, Behavioral Disorders and Injuries, 10th revision (ICD-10).Results and Discussion. The average annual dismissal rate for conscripts from the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus for 16 years from 2003 to 2018 amounted to (15.62 ± 0.58) ‰, including (8.11 ± 0.36) ‰ in the first period of service, (5.24 ± 0.28) ‰ in the II period and (2.27 ± 0.09) ‰ in the III period, i.e. 51.9, 33.5 and 14.6 %, respectively in the structure of dismissal for the entire period of service. The main reasons for the dismissal of conscripts from the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus were mental and behavioral disorders (ICD-10 chapter V), digestive diseases (chapter XI), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue (chapter XIII), cardiovascular system diseases (chapter IX) and skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases (chapter XII) with levels of (4.74 ± 0.35), (2.74 ± 0.31), (2.13 ± 0.18), (1.80 ± 0.30) and (0.73 ± 0.09) ‰, respectively. In the structure of dismissal, the rates of these diseases amounted to 77.7 %. When analyzing the leading classes, during the periods of service the military-epidemiological significance of dismissals due to mental disorders and behavioral disorders (chapter V), cardiovascular system diseases (chapter IX), skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases (chapter XII) turned out to decrease, and military-epidemiological significance of dismissals due to diseases of the digestive system (chapter XI) increased. In addition, during periods of service the number of dismissals of conscripts with certain infectious and parasitic diseases (chapter I), with injuries, poisoning and some other consequences of external causes (chapter XIX) increased. Most commonly, conscripts were dismissed from the Armed Forces of the Republic of Belarus due to diseases of the esophagus, stomach and duodenum (K20–K31 according to ICD-10), personality and behavioral disorders in adulthood (F60– F69), neurotic, associated with stress, and somatoform disorders (F40–F48), other heart diseases (pericarditis, endocarditis, etc., I30–I52) and mood disorders (affective disorders, F30–F39). In the structure of dismissal, percentages amounted to 13.7, 9.1, 6.3, 4.1 and 4.1 %, respectively; in total – 37.3 %.Conclusion. The medical and statistical indicators of dismissal can help calculate the likelihood of health disorders associated with daily life and military service, and determine the strategy of the medical service in taking measures for recreation and rehabilitation of potential and actual conscripts.

Statistical Indicators

Relevance.The conditions of military service, which significantly differ from civilian life, can cause health disorders in army conscripts that reduce the combat readiness and fighting efficiency of troops.Intention.Identify the medical and statistical indicators of the morbidity of army conscripts in the Armed Forces (AF) of the Republic of Belarus and the Russian Federation.Methodology.We conducted a random statistical analysis of medical reports on the health status of military personnel and on activities of the medical services (form 3/MED) from military units located in different military districts, branches and types of troops in which more than 60% of the total number of conscripts served in the AF of Belarus and Russia from 2003 to 2016. Counting and analysis unification of morbidity of conscripts was achieved using the International Classification of Diseases, Trauma and Causes of Death, the 10th review (ICD-10).Results and their analysis.The average annual level of the general morbidity of conscripts in the AF of Belarus was (2860.7 ± 98.6) ‰, primary disease incidence (1638.2 ± 79.1) ‰, the need for dispensary observation - (93.5 ± 9.5) ‰, hospitalization – (931.6 ± 44.2) ‰, days of disability – (8406 ± 327) ‰, dismissing for health reasons – (15.80 ± 0.64) ‰. The duration of 1 case of disability was (9.3 ± 0.2) days, death rate per 100,000 people per year – (35.06 ± 5.01). The average annual level of these indicators among conscripts in the AF of Russia was (1849.3 ± 55.7) ‰, (1026.5 ± 56.3), (125.9 ± 7.8), (916.2 ± 54.3), (10 173 ± 376), (18.32 ± 1.23) ‰, (11.3 ± 0.3) days and (45.41 ± 6.37) deaths, respectively. Data relatively independent from the human factor (hospitalization, dismissing, mortality) were practically similar. It should be noted that the curves of these indicators had statistically significant congruencies, which indicated the influence of similar factors on their formation. A quite similar structure of the military and epidemiological significance of health disorders is established for conscripts in the AF of Belarus and Russia. Traumas, poisoning and some other consequences of external causes (ICD-10 Chapter XIX) ranked first, diseases of respiratory system (Chapter X) ranked second, and diseases of digestive system (XI), diseases of the circulatory system (IX), diseases of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue, mental and behavioral disorders (V) occupied places from 3 to 7. Some outstanding features were also revealed during generalized evaluation: skin and subcutaneous tissue diseases (Chapter XII) prevailed in Belorussian conscripts and some infectious and parasitic diseases (ICD-10 Chapter I) – in Russian conscripts.Conclusion.Preventive measures against leading diseases will contribute to improving the health status of conscripts. Based on the established medical and statistical indicators, probabilities of specific health disorders in military can be calculated.

Physical Preparation

<p>The paper deals with physical preparation of professional soldiers. It is focused on the development of aerobic endurance within practical physical preparation lessons at military units. In order to fulfil the goals of the research, the authors organised a natural pedagogical experiment to find out which of the 7 typical aerobic activities implemented in the experimental and reference couples (n=28) during the 6-week-long experimental period have the most effective impact on the development of aerobic endurance in professional soldiers in the Slovak Armed Forces. The results showed that the most effective means for the development of endurance were found obstacle track, terrain running in combination with fast road marches, various types of shuttle runs and jumping and acrobatic exercises. Swimming, cycling, ski running and sport games can be recommended as suitable complementary activities. From the point of view of methodology, the most effective organisation pattern represented the one in which exercises were organised in 4 training sessions during 20 minutes each, performed for 6 weeks in a row. Statistically significant changes in the level of aerobic endurance proved the hypothesis that physical fitness and psychic resistibility of professional soldiers can be improved by the selected most effective means also in shorter time period of physical preparation.</p>
