Abstract BackgroundAlthough Covid-19 is often a disease presenting with respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms can also be seen. Also, there may be disruptions in liver enzyme during the disease. In our study, we aimed to investigate the extent of the military co-epidemic during the Covid-19 epidemic process and the frequency of GI symptoms and liver test disorders.MethodsThe demographic, radiological, laboratory, and clinical analysis of the soldiers diagnosed Covid-19 with real-time polymerase chain reaction, was carried out retrospectively in March, April, and May of 2020.ResultsCovid-19 was detected in 17 (0.7%) of the 2152 soldiers coming from different cities to perform their military service, in the following days after being recruited, in 9 (0.4%) of the soldiers. While 1 (0.3%) of 320 senior military and 2 (3.6%) soldiers from 56 other soldiers who came to the unit from other units were also diagnosed with Covid-19.The mean age was 21.2 ± 1.8. In Torax CT, only 4 (13.7%) patients had pneumonia. At the time of diagnosis, 6.8% of the patients had GI symptoms and 13.7% of them had liver enzyme disruption. None of the patients experienced respiratory failure, intensive care, and death, and all patients recovered.ConclusionIn the literature, our study is the first study to investigate the Covid-19 outbreak in the military unit in the world and the frequency of GI symptoms and liver enzyme disruptions in these patients. In our study, Covid-19 was milder in the young population and we found that GI symptom and liver test disorder were observed less frequently. Covid-19 outbreak can be taken under control by fast and accurate triage and suitable isolation for those with suspected disease, in environments where many people such as military units will live close together. Especially in patients with GI symptoms, Covid-19 should always be kept in mind and early isolation of patients can prevent the spread of the epidemic in such crowded environments.

The article examines activities of Turko-Mongols to have inhabited the Great Steppe and adjacent territories in the military service of Russia throughout the 18th and early 19th centuries. The period witnessed the employment of ethnic military units of irregular cavalries Russian army recruited from the Mongolian-speaking Kalmyks and Buryats, Turkic-speaking Bashkirs, Teptyars, Mishar and Tatars. The work focuses on the largest ethnic military forces ― those of the Kalmyks and Bashkirs. Despite Russian forces were reorganized to from a regular army in the early 18th century, the latter still contained significant irregular components, including ones recruited from Turko-Mongols. Initially, the ethnic groups had served as independent military contingents with traditional structures, tactics, and weapons, but by the late 18th century all ethnic forces were clustered into Don Cossack-type regiments. In the first part of the article, published in the previous issue, the features of military service of the Kalmyks and Bashkirs in their usual habitat ― in the Great Steppe were considered. The second part of the article analyzes the actions of the Turkic-Mongol cavalry in the three largest wars of Russia in the XVIII-early XX century. XIX centuries. (The Northern, Seven-Year War, the Patriotic War of 1812 and the Foreign Campaign of 1813–1814). Rational approaches and command of the ethnic units would yield good results ― both in Eurasian plains and European battlefields. The use of ethnic forces within the Russian army not only saved essential financial and physical resources for the defense of large territories and dramatically long frontiers but also facilitated further integration of their elites into the Empire’s community.

Objective: Although Covid-19 which has been identified as the disease caused by SARS COV-2 virus mainly affects the respiratory tract, it was observed that many systems were affected. The gastrointestinal system is one of the main systems involved. The aim of this manuscript was to perform epidemiological, virological, and clinical analysis of 59 Covid 19-positive patients with gastrointestinal symptoms. Method: Covid-19 diagnosed patients have been started to be admitted since March, 20, 2020. Epidemiological, demographical, clinical findings, laboratory analyses as well as hospitalization periods and disease progression of the patients presenting gastrointestinal system (GIS) symptoms admitted between March, 31, 2020 and August, 1, 2020. Results: Totally 710 Covid 19-positive patients hospitalized were screened. Among these patients, those with incomplete medical history and deficient data were excluded. The analysis of 281 patients admitted due to Covid-19 diagnosis with complete data since admission revealed that 59 patients presented GIS symptoms at admission. The aforesaid patients were compared with 222 patients admitted due to Covid-19 without GIS symptoms within the same period. GIS symptoms were detected on 59 (59/281) (20.99%) patients admitted due to Covid-19. Detailed review of these patients revealed that 18 (18/59) (30.50%) patients had nausea-vomiting, 10 (10/59) (16.95%) patients had abdominal pain, and 31 (31/59) (52.55%) patients had GIS bleeding. It was observed that vomiting was added into the clinical presentation in 7 of 18 patients. Although there is not any diarrhea symptom alone, total number of cases with diarrhea+abdominal pain, diarrhea+nausea-vomiting, diarrhea+nausea-vomiting+abdominal pain was 17 (17/59) (28.81%) of 59 patients. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, we have found 20.99% gi symptoms in the hospitalizated patients due to Covid 19. Although GIS symptoms are not associated with disease severity, they are important for the identification and spread of the disease, along with respiratory symptoms.

Background Neisseria meningitidis remains the main cause of sporadic meningitis and sepsis in military camps in Vietnam. Yet, very limited molecular data of their genotypic and epidemiological characteristics are available from Vietnam, and particularly the military environment. Whole genome sequencing (WGS) has proven useful for meningococcal disease surveillance and guiding preventative vaccination programs. Previously, we characterized key genetic and epidemiological features of an invasive N. meningitidis B isolate from a military unit in Vietnam. Here, we extend these findings by sequencing two additional invasive N. meningitidis B isolated from cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of two meningitis cases at another military unit and compared their genomic sequences and features. We also report the sequence types and antigenic profiles of 25 historical and more recently emerged N. meningitidis isolates from these units and other units in proximity. Methods Strains were sequenced using the Illumina HiSeq platform, de novo assembled and annotated. Genomes were compared within and between military units, as well as against the global N. meningitidis collection and other isolates from the Southeast Asia region using PubMLST. Variations at the nucleotide level were determined, and phylogenetic relationships were estimated. Antigenic genotypes and vaccine coverage were analyzed using gMATS and PubMLST. Susceptibility of isolates against commonly used antibiotic agents was examined using E-test. Results Genome comparison revealed a high level of similarity among isolates both within and between units. All isolates showed resistance to chloramphenicol and carried identical catP gene with other Southeast Asian isolates, suggesting a common lineage. Their antigenic genotypes predicted no coverage by either Bexsero®or Trumenba®, and nucleotide variation analysis revealed diverse new, unassigned alleles at multiple virulence loci of all strains. Groups of singleton and unique novel sequence types extending beyond individual camps were found from epidemiological data of 25 other isolates. Our results add to the sparse published molecular data of N. meningitidis in the military units in Vietnam, highlight their diversity, distinct genetic features and antibiotic resistance pattern, and emphasize the need for further studies on the molecular characteristics of N. meningitidis in Vietnam.

AbstractDetection of small objects in the airspace is a crucial task in the military. In the era of today’s unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) technology, many military units are exposed to recognition and observation through flying objects. They are often equipped with optoelectronic warhead making a way to collect essential and secret data of the military unit. Modern technical solutions make it possible to implement some methods facilitating detection of flying objects. A lot of them utilize computer vision techniques based on image processing algorithm. Therefore, in this article, we present an analysis of the most promising algorithm for detection of small flying objects.

The purpose of the article is to create methodological bases for increasing the competitive position of organizations for tender procurement to meet the needs of units of the National Guard of Ukraine. Research methods are the use of optimization economic and mathematical models and computer simulation. In the article, by involving representatives of the command of the National Guard of Ukraine, an expert assessment of the impact of various factors in the specific conditions of the procurement process for the needs of logistics of military units. The degree of importance of each of the factors became the basis for the creation of a methodology for interaction of the partner organization with the relevant military unit. In turn, the proposed technique became the theoretical basis for the development of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 decision support system. This information system helps to support management decisions to improve the effectiveness of the organization's interaction with the military unit of the NMU. The created prototype of the decision support system should be used to solve in the mode of dialogue poorly structured tasks of interaction of the organization with the military unit, which are characterized by incomplete input data, lack of existing standard procedures, incomplete clarity of goals and limitations. In global conditions, improving the competitiveness of the organization in terms of tender procurement will save the defence budget, will be an effective means of preventing corruption in the field of defence procurement, will create favourable conditions for the development of a competitive environment in public procurement and fair competition. The theoretical result of the article is the method of ensuring the competitiveness of the organization in terms of tender procurement for the needs of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine. The practical result is to substantiate the ways to increase the efficiency of the organization on the basis of ensuring competitiveness in terms of tender procurement for the needs of military units of the National Guard of Ukraine.

The origin of the Military Interior Service of the Military Units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (MSW) goes back to 1957, when pursuant to the Regulation No. 021/57 the Ministry disbanded the Information Division of the Border Guard Troops and the Information Department of the Internal Security Corps, later transformed into the Military Interior Service of the Internal Security Corps (WSW KBW) and the Border Guard Troops (WOP). In 1973, the Service of the Military Units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (WSW JW MSW) was appointed. Subsequently, new local structures were created in Białystok, Chełm, Przemyśl, Kętrzyn, Krosno Odrzańskie, Kłodzko, Koszalin, Katowice and Warsaw as branches of the WSW JW MSW. This formation shielded military units subordinated to the structures of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, i.e. the Border Guard Troops (WOP), the Vistula Military Units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs (JN MSW) and the Government Protection Bureau (BOR), in the field of counterintelligence protection, as well as prevention and detection of crimes in military units of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and prosecution of offenders subjected to the jurisdiction of military courts. When fulfilling their tasks, the WSW operational bodies subordinated to the Ministry of Internal Affairs applied means, methods and forms of operational work, which were characterized by the specificity of activities and the diversity of the environment.
