In article presented theoretic generalization practical efficiency issues training and deployment of troops (armed forces) by improving the analysis system, generalization and implementation of combat experience (ASGIE) and an actual scientific problem was solved in a new way, consisting in the improvement of the scientific and methodological apparatus of its functioning. Performed analysis mathematical models for descriptions and assessment functioning system of training and use of troops (armed forces). In the same time, the results of researches in exercises and other activities of operational, combat training and daily activities of troops (armed forces) showed the absence of effective mathematical models for the functioning of ASGIE of troops (armed forces). The constituents for each of the three performance indicators have been substantiated and determined, which reproduce the corresponding reactions of the ASGIE to obtain a generalized experience. The connection of these constituents with the requirements for the mathematical model of the reaction of the ASGIE is shown. A discrete-continuous stochastic model of the ASGIE reaction has been developed to study the effectiveness of a promising ASGIE for various options for its implementation. A system of Kolmogorov-Chapman differential equations of the first order has been formed, the solution of which gives the opportunity to get the value of performance indicators ASGIE. Calculations performed for ASGI which includes the governing bodies of three military units and three OC with decision-making on the generalization of experience for the majority principle "2 with 3" show: acceptable values of the performance indicator "Experience is generalized" are achieved when the values of the probability of identifying experience and the probability of successful generalization of experience by the management body are greater than 0.9; with the values of the probability of experience identification and the probability of successful generalization of experience by the governing bodies in the range from 0.4 to 0.7 with a probability of not less than 0.7, it will be necessary to continue to accumulate generalized experience in order to make a decision on its dissemination; accordingly, a value in the range from 0.2 to 0.6 is unacceptable for organizing the process of generalizing experience for the developed ASGI.

Recently developed stochastic model of a one-dimensional flow-through chemical reactor is extended in this paper also to the non-isothermal case. The model enables the evaluation of concentration and temperature profiles along the reactor. The results are compared with the commonly used one-dimensional dispersion model with Danckwerts' boundary conditions. The stochastic model also enables to evaluate a value of the segregation index.

<p><span lang="PT-BR">PT Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) is the largest container port in Indonesia. Currently, JICT capacity is 2.5 million TEUs (Twenty-foot Equivalent Units) per year, it continues to strive to improve international services and is supported by adequate container loading and unloading equipment. The requirement to establish common standards in different types of container port equipment and identify performance indicators to assess the performance of container handling equipment has increased. Although the Quay Container Crane (QCC) operating system may be different at each container terminal, there are similarities in its main movements, namely: Main Hoist, Trolley, Gantry, and Boom. By knowing the clock metric for each movement, it is possible to determine the Key Performance Indicator (KPI) that has been adopted and assess the performance of the Quay Container Crane (QCC). The results of the study identified that the value of MMBF (Mean Move Between Failures) decreased due to the accumulation of long-lasting heavy load operations, while the number of maintenance activities for machine parts and working hours continued to increase. Key Performance Indicator (KPI) as a management tool can guide QCC inspections and the results can provide useful insights for improving the performance of equipment and container loading and unloading operations in the future.</span></p>

The coefficient of variation is a dispersion measurement that does not depend on the unit scales, thus allowing the comparison of experimental results involving different variables. Its calculation is crucial for the adhesive experiments performed in laboratories because both precision and reliability can be verified. The aim of this study was to evaluate and to suggest a classification of the coefficient variation (CV) for in vitro experiments on shear and tensile strengths. The experiments were performed in laboratory by fifty international and national studies on adhesion materials. Statistical data allowing the estimation of the coefficient of variation was gathered from each scientific article since none of them had such a measurement previously calculated. Excel worksheet was used for organizing the data while the sample normality was tested by using Shapiro Wilk tests (alpha = 0.05) and the Statistical Analysis System software (SAS). A mean value of 6.11 (SD = 1.83) for the coefficient of variation was found by the data analysis and the data had a normal distribution (p>0.05). A range classification was proposed for the coefficient of variation from such data, that is, it should be considered low for a value lesser than 2.44; intermediate for a value between 2.44 and 7.94, high for a value between 7.94 and 9.78, and finally, very high for a value greater than 9.78. Such classification can be used as a guide for experiments on adhesion materials, thus making the planning easier as well as revealing precision and validity concerning the data.

The purpose of this scientific article is to identify the most persistent motivational measures of conscripts applied at General Adolf Ramanauskas Combat Training Center. The article discusses motivation, motivating and motivation measures applied in contemporary civil organizations and the Lithuanian Armed Forces. The empirical part of the article is based on the authentic investigation of conscripts, which was carried out in the spring of 2018 in the “Vanagas” Operational Environment Company. The results of the research revealed that the most significant motivating factors for a conscript are such as the need for personal accomplishments and respect. What concerns the group of material motivation measures, the conscripts are best motivated by provision of health care services and social guarantees. In case of intangible values, they are most motivated by the opportunity to develop and pursue a career. Priority motivating measures that could encourage soldiers to serve better could be likewise: commanders’ support and trust, a friendly team, clear and interesting tasks, increase of cash benefits and organization of leisure time activities.

For many water supply companies, the sustainable exploitation of water resources has always been an integral part of their business, voluntarily accepting tasks and responsibility which benefit society and the environment in general, e.g. in resource protection, environmental monitoring, and encouragement of sustainable farming practices. However, these voluntary activities are often not sufficiently recognised internally and externally due to a missing sustainability framework and a less developed communication strategy. Therefore, a comprehensive framework for the measurement and reporting of corporate responsibility (CR) in water supply was developed, comprising the environmental and sustainability issues of resource protection and water supply, social responsibility and long-term economical development. This framework was successfully applied in a Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach and served as basis for a CR report of a German regional water and wastewater company. The CR Performance Indicator system was imbedded in the IWA framework of Performance Indicators (PI), and as such is universally applicable in water and wastewater systems.

Joint exercises are vital to the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) meeting its readiness targets. However, CAF resources are often insufficient to participate in all candidate joint exercises. Many organizations face resource challenges. In the context of preparing the CAF for its mandated missions and operational tasks, this chapter addresses the following research question: How can the CAF get the most value out of its joint training resources? Using strategic analysis and operations research, the authors designed a value model to gauge a joint exercise's value and an optimization model to support decision makers when selecting a joint exercise portfolio. This chapter describes these models, presents an example of their application, and discusses future improvements.
