The article presents the results of a theoretical and experimental study of the problem of adaptive conflict of cadets of the first year of training in a military university and the pedagogical method of its solution. The issues of conflict regulation, including adaptation, are quite actively discussed in the psychological discourse in the military team, and they have not yet received sufficient coverage in the pedagogical one. At the same time, the complication of the structure of relations between medical personnel by military personnel actualizes the need to enrich and expand pedagogical knowledge in the military environment. The authors of the article focus on the mediation method, which allows you to build a trajectory of trust in the interaction between both students and trainees, as well as within these groups. Mediation as a pedagogical method is attractive because it provides an opportunity for a meaningful understanding of the concept of mediation in the process of resolving conflicts in the educational environment, and also allows you to build a trajectory of trust in the interaction between students and trainees, as well as between these groups. In a military university, mediation will allow preserving, on the one hand, the traditionalism of the educational and educational environment, and on the other, it will direct its vector to humanization. Special attention is paid to the definition of the conceptual foundations of mediation, as well as the methods by which the method of pedagogical mediation is implemented. According to the authors, the pedagogical method of mediation should solve not only the issue of reducing the terms of adaptation and professional development of future officers, but also resolve the contradiction that has developed in the system of modern military education between the desire to preserve the traditionalism of the educational and educational environment, and the demand of the modern educational space for humanization.

The article is dedicated to determining the definition, features and structure of the legal culture of servicemen.The definition of the legal culture of a serviceman is presented as a complex of judicial values, abilities and skills whichaltogether determine his legal behavior.There’re arguments provided in favor of the idea that the culture of servicemen happens to have the following features: a) avariety of the general culture of the serviceman which happens to develop in the course nurturing within the family and the initialsocialization in the system of common middle-professional education; b) is characterized by a number of layers and consists ofthe legal culture of the citizen, which includes the legal culture of a serviceman and which in its turn consists of the legal cultureof a cadet, officers, sergeants and non-commissioned officers and privates etc; c) has influence on both the behavior of theserviceman, but also the existing overall level of legal culture of military entities.Based on the analyses of the elements of the legal culture of the serviceman it was possible to determine the followingelements of its structure: а) the theoretic-legal culture (doctrinal knowledge with regard to the essence and the peculiarities oflaw, the legal norm, state, rights and freedoms of the individual and other legal phenomena, that indirectly influence the socialrelations in a state and determine the content of the generic and special legislation); b) the military-legal culture (knowledge inthe field of military law, abilities and skills in terms of his implementation in different situations in the line of duty); c) theinformational-legal culture (the complex of knowledge, abilities and skills of legally just behavior in informational relations). Itincludes a pretty broad spectrum of elements – starting with the behavior of the servicemen on the social media and finishes withthe protection of personal data of one’s subordinates; d) the linguistic-legal culture ( the complex of knowledge, ability and skills,which allow to freely operate with the foreign military terminology, including the one that is implemented in administrative,operative, and NATO material-technical standards; e) the pedagogical-legal culture (the complex of special methods and meansto develop knowledge, abilities and skills, value orienteers and persuasions based on the realization of the rule of law among thesubordinates and other servicemen).

Clausewitz’s writings stand in two traditions. On the one hand, with his own very narrow definition of strategy, “Strategy is the use of the [military] engagement for the purpose of the war,” he continued a tradition that goes back to Paul-Gédéon Joly de Maizeroy and beyond him to Byzantine Emperor Leo VI. It is not least because of Clausewitz’s espousal of this tradition that this narrow definition still dominated Soviet thinking. On the other hand, Clausewitz stood in a new tradition reflecting on the relationship between a political purpose of the war itself. This goes back to Guibert, Kant, Rühle von Lilienstern but also a long-forgotten anonymous work probably written by Zanthier. This dwelt on the bureaucratic process of strategy-making in the interface between (politically dominated) foreign policy and (hardware- and means-dominated) military policy. It is ultimately to the latter tradition that we owe his reflections on the domination of political considerations captured in his famous line about war being the continuation of politics by other means. This in turn is the foundation on which most other reflections on grand strategy have been built.

We consider the aspects of adaptation to the process of training and physical education of first year cadets. Problems and aspects of physiological adaptation are designated and its connection with activity of cardiovascular system of an organism of first year cadets is shown. The main factor of the considered process of physiological adaptation is shown. The relevance of the study of adaptive mechanisms of the body of first year cadets during the beginning of their training in the military university is proved. The necessity of increasing the volume of physical activity for more successful adaptation of first year cadets to training in a military university is proved. Reflects the results of exposure to prolonged and regular physical activity, compatible with the normal functioning of the organism in which the person developing his adaptive functional reorganization. Studies of functional possibilities of cardiovascular system of first year cadets to specify Robinson's index (for the purpose of quantitative characteristics of the systolic heart function). The estimation of these parameters is necessary to complete the definition of adaptation possibilities of organism of first year cadets. The results of the study of heart rate, systolic blood pressure at rest are also reflected. All studies are aimed at determining the effectiveness of the implementation of the developed system of physical education of first year cadets, aimed at improving the adaptive capacity of their body, to improve the educational process in the military university.

The author of the article analyzes the issues and poetics of the documentary and journalistic publication by M. Slaboshpytsky «The Great War. 2014… Ukraine: challenges, events, materials». The influence of the military factor on human consciousness is being clarified. Peculiarities of the author’s concept of human and military dialectics are revealed in the aspect of anthropological reception. In this perspective, the relationship between the antinomies «man – power», «man – society», «man – state», «man – nation» is analyzed. It is proved that the first year of the war was reflected in different levels of traumatic experience. Thus, the creative meaning of the author’s idea manifested itself in the design of the journalistic text as a sharp contrast between the desperate heroism of Ukrainian soldiers on the one hand and the incompetence of the command on the other.

The problem of prohibited substances (methods) abuse in sport has existed for quite a long time. On the one hand, by criminalizing certain anti-doping rules violations, legislation expanded the liability limits of coaches, sports medical personnel, and of other specialists in the field of sports, which can be regarded positively. On the other hand, it made certain mistakes which impeded the effectiveness of these laws enforcement. Among other things, there is a problem with definition of the term “inducement”. The term itself is defined in the note to article 2301 of the Russian Federation Criminal Code, but there is a controversy in demarcation of inducement. methods. While deception, the use of violence and instructions as inducement methods are socially dangerous at substantial level and can be regarded as methods of committing the crime, the provision of information or the prohibited substances themselves (means of using methods) cannot be regarded as methods of committing the crime. Such a definition of inducement means also leads to contradictions with the corpus delicti under Article 2302 of the Russian Federation Criminal Code. In addition, there are also different interpretations regarding the methods of inducement, coercion, involvement in the other corpus delicti, which, all together with the lack of a unified interpretation of the terms affects the possibility of bringing the guilty persons, especially coaches, sports medical personnel and other specialists in the field of sports, to criminal responsibility. The survey conducted among lawyers also has revealed difficulties in distinguishing these terms in practice. Based on the criminal legislation analysis, the author comes to the conclusion that the amendments in the Russian Federation Criminal Code are necessary.

This article considers the incorporation of Prussians, Sudovians, and Scalovians who migrated to territories which were not theirs originally, into the social system of the State of the Teutonic Order between the 1280s and 1370s. The author examines the main aspects of this issue, i.e. property status and duties of migrants, with reference to data from 41 acts granted to them by the Order and the church, and the Chronicles written by Peter of Dusburg and Caspar Shuetz. The study of these data with the help of the prosopographical and historical and comparative methods makes it possible to determine the main directions of migration, number of migrants, size, and composition of their property and duties performed in relation to the Order and the church. The main regions for migration were Sambia and Pomesania, receiving 5 144 out of 5 166 persons. The choice of the regions was caused by the lack of local farmers that was the result of the devastation committed during the struggle of Prussians, Scalovians, and Sudovians with the expansion of the Order between 1260s and 1280s. Another reason was the remoteness of Sambia and Pomesania from the migrants’ native lands and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. On the one hand, it prevented possible union between the settlers and the Lithuanian rulers and, on the other hand, fostered communication between the migrants and the Order which guaranteed the former status in the new community. The incorporation of Prussians, Scalovians, and Sudovians was carried out by granting them fief or locator’s office and implied the definition of their rights and duties similar to those enjoyed by the local inhabitants. The migrants served in the military, paid taxes, had jurisdiction over their peasants, added unclaimed lands to their property, received permission to fish in the nearby waters, etc. These features testify to the successful incorporation of migrants into the new social system that contributed to a further development of the State of the Teutonic Order.

The paper presents some considerations, partly polemic, inspired by Mary Kaldor’s book New and Old Wars. For this end, a brief comparative analysis is suggested of large-scale wars of the past (starting from the17th and with particular attention to the end of the 19th and the first half of the 20th centuries), on the one hand, and the so called “new wars”, on the other. The concept of “war” has been actual permanently, but it underwent changes, the most serious of them took place at the beginning and in the middle of the 20st century. However, the current political situation on the world scene shows that the conflicts of the globalization era differ considerably from those of previous centuries which were mainly conducted according to the generally adopted “rules of war” considered now as classical.The substantial role in modern violent collisions is played by a conflict of identities which was not so important when wars were conducted mainly between national states. Unlike conflicts of the previous centuries, the military confrontations of today may occur not only between states, but also inside the single country, where different groups of participants are pursuing their own goals in frameworks of identity policy. The traditional notion of civil war is not enough to cover this variety. Due to the global nature of the modern conflicts and involvement of the variety of participants, the conflict resolution seems to be more complicated than ever. Moreover, the identity factor has become an effective tool for different parties of the conflict who tend to use it at their own convenience. Consequently, resolution of modern violent conflicts, wherever they develop, demands contemporary and often non-trivial solutions, as well as close attention of the global community. The author believes that to resolve modern conflicts effectively, the world society should create a unified and comprehensive definition of the concept of “war” as well as invent new ways of the conflict solution taking into consideration, among other things, the diverse dynamics of globalization processes.

Abstract Background Students’ perception of the educational setting is an important source for improving and applying changes to the educational environment. In this study, we reassessed undergraduate students’ perception of the educational environment at two colleges of RUMS-Iran in the academic years of 2011 and 2016. Methods In the present prospective study, the DREEM inventory consisted of seven courses for undergraduate paramedical and nursing-midwifery students (n = 982). After the first stage, educational seminars and workshops were set up for academic members and faculty staff on deficiencies and the ideal climate for optimizing the educational environment. The results of students’ responses in 2011 were compared with those assessed in 2016. For the data analysis, the independent t-test and the one-way ANOVA were utilized. Results In the academic year of 2010–2011, the DREEM inventory scored 115.33/200 (57.66%); it also scored 123.47/200 (60.7%) in the academic year of 2015–2016 (p ≤ 0.01). There was an interesting feeling about the first-year education, and female students felt a more positively perceived learning environment during all courses than male students at both stages of the study. There were significant positive differences (2 to 7%) in all domains of the components of DREEM in all courses between the academic year of 2010–2011 and the academic year of 2015–2016, showing that the DREEM score had changed and increased (p < 0.05), in the latter case. Conclusions Positive differences were observed in DREEM scores between the two stages of the study. DREEM helped reduce the areas of deficiencies in students’ perception of many aspects of the educational environment. It also helped identify problematic areas in the improvement. In addition, DREEM could be used to optimize and make modifications to the educational environment.

The effectiveness of professional education substantially depends on the wide use of digital technologies and products in the educational process. However, the effectiveness of the implementation of these technologies largely depends, on the one hand, on the readiness of the digital educational environment, and on the other hand, on the level of digital literacy and the competence of the teachers. So, it is necessary to develop a methodology for assessing the level of preparation of the university for digitalization, the purpose of which is to provide a unified approach to the assessment of the educational information environment and the factors providing it in the educational process, as well as to remove obstacles to the effective implementation of educational programmes and services using digital technologies and products. The analysis of the existing methods has shown that they assess the level of the digital development of various sectors of the economy and society in general, but do not affect the educational system or evaluate the digitalization of the educational process only from the technical point of view. Taking into account all the above-mentioned circumstances, the authors propose to evaluate the readiness of universities for digitalization of the educational process on the basis of the analysis of the factors directly affecting the digitalization of the educational process, such as: digital transformation of the educational environment of the university and the level of preparation of the teachers for the work in the digital environment.

Temeljni namen civilnega nadzora nad vojsko je preprečevati njuni neželeno (nedemokratično) vlogo in vedenje. V ta namen izvajalci nadzora uporabljajo mehanizme, ki morajo po eni strani zagotoviti pogoje za popolno podrejenost vojske civilnim oblastem, po drugi pa omogočiti pogoje, da lahko izpolnjuje svojo vlogo in poslanstvo v družbi. V demokratičnih družbah vojske ne pomenijo notranje grožnje, zato številni avtorji poudarjajo skrb za preudarno uporabo mehanizmov nadzora. Ti lahko negativno vplivajo na učinkovitost vojske za uresničevanje njenega poslanstva, s tem pa lahko tudi ogrožajo nacionalno varnost. Avtor v prispevku analizira odgovornost civilnih oblasti za učinkovitost vojske ter predlaga analitični model, ki omogoča ugotavljanje vzročno-posledične povezave med nadzorom in učinkovitostjo. V ta namen je oblikoval definicijo učinkovitosti in strukturo analize, ki vodi do odgovora na vprašanje, ali civilni nadzor podpira ali ovira vojsko pri doseganju učinkovitosti, nujne za uresničevanje njenega poslanstva. The prevention of undesirable (undemocratic) role and behavior of the military within thesocietyisthemainpurposeofciviliancontrolofarmedforces. Civilianauthoritiesuse different mechanisms, on the one hand, to secure conditions for complete subordination of the military to civilian authorities, and, on the other hand, to enable prerequisites for the military to implement its role and mission within the society. Militaries no longer represent a threat to modern democracies. Therefore, many authors emphasize a need for a prudent application of control mechanisms, since they may have a negative impact on military effectiveness and may consequently threaten national security. The author analyses civilian responsibility for military effectiveness. He offers an analytical model that enables the identification of causal link between civilian control and military effectiveness. For this purpose, he develops a definition of military effectiveness, and recommends the structural analysis that can lead to an answer to whether the civilian control supports or hinders the military in achieving the required effectiveness when implementing its mission.
