Today, more than forty countries of the world are engaged in the development of military-purpose robots. A number of unique mobile robots with a wide range of capabilities are already being used by combat and intelligence units of the Armed forces of the developed world countries to conduct battlefield intelligence and support tactical groups. At present, the issue of using the latest information technology in the field of military robotics is thoroughly investigated, and the creation of highly effective information management systems in the land-mobile robotic complexes has acquired a new phase associated with the use of distributed information and sensory systems and consists in the transition from application of separate sensors and devices to the construction of modular information subsystems, which provide the availability of various data sources and complex methods of information processing. The purpose of the article is to investigate the ways to increase the autonomy of the land-mobile robotic complexes using in a non-deterministic conditions of modern combat. Relevance of researches is connected with the necessity of creation of highly effective information and control systems in the perspective robotic means for the needs of Land Forces of Ukraine. The development of the Armed Forces of Ukraine management system based on the criteria adopted by the EU and NATO member states is one of the main directions of increasing the effectiveness of the use of forces (forces), which involves achieving the principles and standards necessary for Ukraine to become a member of the EU and NATO. The inherent features of achieving these criteria will be the transition to a reduction of tasks of the combined-arms units and the large-scale use of high-precision weapons and land remote-controlled robotic devices. According to the views of the leading specialists in the field of robotics, the automation of information subsystems and components of the land-mobile robotic complexes can increase safety, reliability, error-tolerance and the effectiveness of the use of robotic means by standardizing the necessary actions with minimal human intervention, that is, a significant increase in the autonomy of the land-mobile robotic complexes for the needs of Land Forces of Ukraine.

This work focuses on the issues to deal with when approaching experimental testing of structures equipped with semiactive control (SA) systems. It starts from practical experience authors gained in a recent wide campaign on a large scale steel frame structure provided with a control system based on magnetorheological dampers. The latter are special devices able to achieve a wide range of physical behaviours using low-power electrical currents. Experimental activities involving the use of controllable devices require special attention in solving specific aspects that characterize each of the three phases of the SA control loop: acquisition, processing, and command. Most of them are uncommon to any other type of structural testing. This paper emphasizes the importance of the experimental assessment of SA systems and shows how many problematic issues likely to happen in real applications are also present when testing these systems experimentally. This paper highlights several problematic aspects and illustrates how they can be addressed in order to achieve a more realistic evaluation of the effectiveness of SA control solutions. Undesired and unavoidable effects like delays and control malfunction are also remarked. A discussion on the way to reduce their incidence is also offered.

West Java has been conducting Policy of Large-Scale of Social Restriction (in bahasa Pembatasan Sosial Berskala Besar or PSBB). However several companies in wide range of industries are allowed to run the production with health protocol that need to be fulfilled by company in order to keep the worker’s health during this pandemic. One of manufacturing companies with 307 workers in Bekasi Regency is still running the production as part of food production chain. As Indonesian Health Ministry Guidelines for Prevention and Control COVID-19 at Office and Industry Workplace during Policy of PSBB need to be fulfilled, the company implements several actions to protect the worker from COVID-19 at workplace environment. At this moment, safety and health management commitment need to be assessed making sure implementation of the guidelines. In order to make sure COVID-19 prevention, there must be implementation evaluation of Guidelines for Prevention and Control of COVID-19 at Office and Industry Workplace during PSBB Policy. Study shows although the finding of low level safety and health management commitment from worker’s perception, majority Guidelines for Prevention COVID-19 at Office and Industry Workplace during PSBB that focus for workplace environment have been facilitated by the management of company.

Emerging hybrid threats in large-scale warfare systems require networked teams to perform in a reliable manner under changing mission tactics and reconfiguration of mission tasks and force resources. In this paper, a formal Command and Control (C2) structure is presented that allows for computer-aided execution of the networked team decision-making process, real-time tactic selection, and reliable mission reconfiguration. A mathematically justified networked computing environment is provided called the Augmented Discrete Event Control (ADEC) framework. ADEC is portable and has the ability to provide logical connectivity among all team participants including mission commander, field commanders, war-fighters, and robotic platforms. The proposed C2 structure is developed and demonstrated on a simulation study involving Singapore Armed Forces team with three realistic symmetrical, asymmetrical, and hybrid attack missions. Extensive simulation results show that the tasks and resources of multiple missions are fairly sequenced, mission tactics are correctly selected, and missions and resources are reliably reconfigured in real time.

In this paper we propose a centralized web firewall system for web application security which will provide a new type of synchronized system, which has the ability to  detect  and prevent a variety of web application attacks for a wide range of hosts at the same time , using an centralized command and control system, the attacked client then sends the information to a centralized command and control server which will distribute the attack information to all of the integrated clients connected to it. The distributed information contains all of the attack information including the type of attack, the IP address of the attacker, and the time of attack. The process of receiving the attacker's information and distributing it through the centralized web firewall is done automatically and immediately at the time of the attack. And all of the receiving clients will take actions against the threat depending on the distributed information such as banning the IP address of the attacker. The main process aims to protect multiple clients from any possible attack from the same attacker or the same type of attack. The system has been implemented to protect a real web application. Experiments showed that the attacks has been successfully prevented on multiple hosts at the time. This paper came to provide a centralized web firewall system that connect different web firewalls in order to detect and prevent different types of web attacks and work as a fully integrated system with the different clients.

This chapter addresses the ways in which Roman colonization operated within the Roman Empire’s province of Britannia during the first century CE, and analyzes theoretical aproaches to colonialism, colonisation, Romanisation, and imperalism. Roman colonies were formally established settlements of Roman citizens and several existed in Britain. But Britain was also colonized through additional mechanisms, including large-scale migration, a substantial military presence, and an incorporative imperial culture. Questions about the extent to which the indigenous people became Romanized or retained native ways are explored, and the chapter questions how thoroughly indigenous frontier populations adopted colonists’ ideologies and material culture. The evidence suggests a wide range of different responses to colonial contact and control, issues that have been drawn upon by the British in their colonial activities over the past centuries.

The European Union’s Cohesion Policy plays a key role to reduce development disparities between regions in the EU in order to increase economic, social and territorial cohesion. Cohesion Policy in the EU is planned and implemented within a multilevel governance structure embracing a wide range of stakeholders. For the 2007-2013 programming period, a formal three-level control structure was introduced at national level for the first time, with the audit authority as the first “independent” audit layer. Preliminary studies indicate that the introduction of the AAs has been a milestone in making the management and control system of the EU’s budget implementation more robust, thus contributing to protect the EU budget from ineligible spending. This research paper analyses whether the work of the national audit authorities in the framework of the EU’s Cohesion Policy has an effect towards the assurance level of the EU spending in this area. The analysis links the development of the irregular spending with the development of the tasks entrusted to the audit authorities. The main objective of the article is to conclude on whether the evolution of the responsibilities of the audit authorities contributed towards a more robust management and control system for the delivery of Cohesion Policy.

Within the widening European Union, large-scale movements of people, animals and food-products increasingly contribute to the potential for spread of communicable diseases. The EU was given a mandate for public health action only in 1992, under the Treaty of European Union ("Maastricht Treaty"), which was broadened in the 1997 with the Treaty of Amsterdam. While all EU countries have statutory requirements for notifying communicable diseases, national and regional communicable disease surveillance practices vary considerably (1). The Network Committee (NC) for the Epidemiological Surveillance and Control of Communicable Diseases in the EU was established in 1998 to harmonise these activities.
