The military forces usually conjure up the image of soldiers who serve in a given country, or those who carry out their duties in peacekeeping missions. They are frequently in the spotlight during their stay in the area of their operations and the performance of their duties. The memories of them and of any of the possible problems that they may encounter usually fade away once they have gone back to their country, or once they have returned to their parent unit. Interestingly, this rule also applies to other members of the military personnel. Service in the army, which frequently implies exposure to atrocities and ongoing hostilities, undoubtedly leaves its mark on people’s physical and mental health, and it can also have a major impact on the lives of professional soldiers and their families. Paradoxically, the level of stress experienced increases as the sense of a real threat goes down. Being a soldier is one of those professions in which exposure to stress is high, and there is a major risk of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), especially in those members of the armed forces who have taken part in foreign missions. This paper looks at the historical background of the phenomenon, its symptoms, its methods of diagnosis, as well as the entire system of monitoring, supporting and treating post-traumatic stress in the Polish Armed Forces. Such a study has been possible thanks to a thorough analysis of the applicable pieces of legislation, backed by an insight into a series guidelines, orders and dispositions given at all levels of command and supervision in the army.

Work and career are principal activities of man. They determine major life goals and satisfy developmental needs of every working man. The empirical studies show that a career represents a different value in working people’s life and, therefore, people place a different value on professional aspects. The profession of a soldier is commonly perceived as a difficult and dangerous occupation, it requires following orders by troops and paying attention to keep high quality of military service. The aim of this article is to identify the major work values among military academy students who decide to serve the country. This issue was discussed according to social and professional contexts.

Praca zawodowa stanowi zasadniczą formę aktywności człowieka. Wyznacza cele życiowe i zaspokaja potrzeby rozwojowe każdej pracującej jednostki. Jak wykazują badania empiryczne, praca zawodowa przedstawia różną wartość w życiu pracujących, podobnie jak odmiennie cenione są jej poszczególne aspekty. W zawodach trudnych i niebezpiecznych, do których zalicza się profesję żołnierza zawodowego, znaczenie przywiązywane do wykonywanej pracy odgrywa kluczową rolę w jakości pełnionej służby. W związku z tym autorka opracowania dokonała identyfikacji wartości zawodowych, jakie wiążą z przyszłą pracą słuchacze uczelni wojskowej. Zagadnienie to było rozpatrywane w kontekście uwarunkowań społeczno-zawodowych.

This essay investigates three women’s cross-dressed service in the military. Hannah Snell (1723-92) served as a British marine and fought the French in India. Deborah Sampson Gannet (1760-1827) fought the British in the American Wars of Independence and Pauline Cushman (1833-1893) claimed to have disguised herself for the Union during the American Civil War. These three are, by no means, the only women to claim action and remuneration as male combatants (Jelinek 53-62),1 when the legal extent of women’s engagement was as unpaid camp followers. However, all three gave accounts of their military exploits to the public through biographies and solo performances on stage.

There is a great amount of international attention directed towards the recruitment and involvement of children in armed conflict. In response to this, Philippine legislators have passed laws to assist and protect these children. However, most of these are not reflective of the reality of children and may even further disadvantage them. This paper explores international and national policies directed towards children in armed conflict through the perspective of children’s rights. It aims to paint a more realistic and rights-oriented approach towards the understanding of children in armed conflict. The importance of this not only rests on the growing amount of international attention directed towards this issue, but more importantly, because doing so promotes efforts in fulfilling the fundamental rights of children.

The main task of the army is to ensure the sovereignty and security of its citizens. Military service is regarded as the service of in name supreme good, as service of homeland. This military service changed its nature over the centuries and, therefore changed is expectations from soldiers. One of the most important values of for soldiers remained honor, usually tied valor and sacrifice. In the process of transition from the traditional version from the army as an institution for the army as an organization, in the process of increasing its professionalization, are changes in the military axiology and of the more important is dignity. Still, the sense of military service expressed is in sacrifice for in the socially important and desirable value, decisive on safety and the development of modern societies.

Security managers, such as police, soldier, firefighter, in many cases face special or emergency situations without any signs in advance. In these cases decision makers are under time pressure and they do not have enough time to make the traditional, analitical based decision making method. Despite the above well-known circumstances during education and trainings managers get information mostly about the theory of traditional decision making processes even if practical trainings obviously focuses on the quick responses as tactical elements. This article deals with firefighting managers, how they make their decisions mainly at tactical level and demonstrates their special decision making method to be able to understand it. An important element of the activities of security managers or emergency responders is that they cannot or only to a very limited extent can modify the terms of the task, improve them as desired. Despite the differences of environment, indications of the complexity of the situation, the possibility of the radical change in the given situation, uncertainty and ambiguity of the information available can be recognized and well identified. Author’s study reveals during intervention the most essential but limiting factor is time. This provides a framework impossible to burst and a forced drift, a pressurized channel for the decision-maker, entangled in which one can no longer break free. The above proves that in certain situations, the multi-criteria, analyzing, evaluating decision-making simply cannot be used or only in a limited manner. However, it can be seen that managers, directors or commanders are many times in situations that they simply cannot elude from their decisions; they should make them in a short time. The functional background of decisions made in a short time, their mechanism different from the conventional one was studied lately, and was given the name recognition-primed decision to this special decision procedure.

ObjectivesThis observational follow-up study investigated the associations of nutrition and body composition with cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors, including pro-inflammatory biomarkers, in soldiers during a 6-month deployment.Material and MethodsThirty-five male soldiers were assessed at months 0, 3 and 6, and their parameters, i.e., M±SD, were as follows: age 30.0±8.7 years, height 179±6 cm, and BMI 24.2±2.5 kg/m2. Three-day food diaries were used for monitoring macronutrient intake. Body composition was estimated using bioimpedance. Fasting blood samples for lipids and pro-inflammatory biomarkers were collected, and blood pressure measurements were performed.ResultsCarbohydrate intake increased and protein intake decreased at month 3 (p = 0.034, p < 0.001), while body composition remained stable. Systolic blood pressure increased at month 6, while other CVD risk factors remained within the reference values. Fat mass and body fat percentage were associated positively with total and low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol concentrations at all measurement points. A negative association was found between the change in fiber intake vs. the change in total (r = –0.36, p = 0.033) and LDL cholesterol (r = –0.39, p = 0.019).ConclusionsLower fiber intake and a greater amount of body fat were associated with high total and LDL cholesterol concentrations. Nevertheless, the measured CVD risk factors remained within the reference values, except for the higher systolic blood pressure. A regular screening of body composition and a higher consumption of fiberrich foods may promote cardiometabolic health in soldiers.

Kompetencje społeczne żołnierzy i kadry dowódczej kształtowały się, gdy powstawały armie narodowe, a w przypadku Polski – tworzyło się Wojsko Polskie. Troską dowódcy było takie przygotowanie i wychowanie żołnierzy, by w czasie wojny mogli bronić obywateli i państwa.

Background: For about twenty years, Polish women have been able to access military service full-time. It means that they can, like men, participate in career development perceived in terms of promotion to a higher military position/rank. On the other hand, there is no doubt that the military remains a typically male professional space. Thus, it requires women to go beyond the traditionally understood division of social roles or - in the case of married women - to combine them skillfully. Objectives: The article aims to present the specificity of the functioning of women on the path of a professional military career from the perspective of family and professional dilemmas. Particular attention will be paid to the category of motherhood. Methodology: This article is an overview. The author mentions the research results on women in the military space available in the literature, including her research. Due to the small amount of research, as a supplement, the author also analyzes Internet sources - more specifically, press interviews with female soldiers. Conclusions: The nature of the difficulties between military service and family indicates the need for regular monitoring of women's participation in the military space. The cited studies indicate that balancing the maternal role with the professional role of a soldier is complex and depends both on non-professional factors (relations with the husband, including the divisions of roles in the family) and organizational ones. The latter results from the specificity of the service (the requirement of mobility and availability) and the attitudes of superiors. For some women, it turns out that motherhood becomes an object of exclusion and stereotyping on the part of soldiers. There is also a lack of institutional (belonging to the military) forms of childcare. In selected cases, motherhood itself triggers the process of self-exclusion from the career in favor of fulfilling the role of a mother.

Tło: Od około dwudziestu lat Polki mają możliwość dostępu do służby wojskowej w pełnym wymiarze. Oznacza to, że mogą podobnie jak mężczyźni uczestniczyć w rozwoju kariery postrzeganej w kategoriach awansu na wyższe stanowisko/stopień wojskowy. Z drugiej jednak strony nie ulega wątpliwości, że wojsko pozostaje typowo męską przestrzenią zawodową. Tym samym wymaga od kobiet wykraczania poza tradycyjnie rozumiany podział ról społecznych bądź – w przypadku zamężnych kobiet – umiejętnego ich łączenia. Cel: Celem artykułu jest przybliżenie specyfiki funkcjonowania kobiet na ścieżce wojskowej kariery zawodowej w perspektywie dylematów rodzinno-zawodowych. Szczególna uwaga zostanie zogniskowana wokół kategorii macierzyństwa. Metodyka: Niniejszy artykuł ma charakter przeglądowego. Autorka przywołuje dostępne w literaturze przedmiotu wyniki badań poświęconych tematyce kobiet w przestrzeni militarnej, w tym badania własne. Z uwagi na niewielką ich liczbę, w ramach uzupełnienia dokonuje też analizy tekstów internetowych – ściślej wywiadów prasowych z żołnierkami. Wnioski: Charakter trudności na linii służba wojskowa-rodzina, wskazuje na potrzebę regularnego monitorowania partycypacji kobiet w przestrzeni militarnej. Przytoczone badania wskazują, że proces równoważenia roli macierzyńskiej z rolą zawodową żołnierki jest złożony i zależy zarówno od czynników pozazawodowych (relacji z mężem, w tym podziału ról w rodzinie), jak i organizacyjnych. Te drugie wynikają ze specyfiki służby (wymogu mobilności i dyspozycyjności) oraz postaw przełożonych. Okazuje się, że dla części kobiet macierzyństwo staje się obiektem wykluczenia i stereotypizacji ze strony żołnierzy. Brakuje też instytucjonalnych (przynależnych wojsku) form opieki nad dziećmi. W wybranych przypadkach macierzyństwo samo w sobie uruchamia proces samowykluczania się z kariery na rzecz spełnienia się w roli matki.

Autorka artykułu przypomina nieznaną żołnierską biografię Stanisława Baczyńskiego, punktem wyjścia czyniąc informacje zawarte w jego aktach personalnych, przechowywanych w Centralnym Archiwum Wojskowym, i uzupełniając je wiedzą pochodzącą z innych źródeł. W społecznej pamięci Baczyński pozostaje przede wszystkim krytykiem literackim, choć o jego „literackiej” biografii też wiemy niewiele. Nie podjęto bowiem dotąd szczegółowych badań nad jego życiem i twórczością. Historia opowiedziana w artykule, wypełniając kilka pustych miejsc w biografii Baczyńskiego, zapowiada dalsze prace badawcze autorki zmierzające do przygotowania monografii autora „Rzeczywistości i fikcji”.

The authoress of the paper recollects an unknown Stanisław Baczyński’s military biography, the starting point of which is a set of information from his personal records preserved in Centralne Archiwum Wojskowe (Central Military Archive), and supplemented by data from other sources. In social memory Baczyński reminds first and foremost a literary critic, though we know little about his “literary” biography too. Detailed research in his life and work has not been undertaken yet. The story told in this article, while filling some blank spaces in Baczyński’s biography, also signals the authoress’ research works that lead to preparing the writer’s monograph.

This article aims to analyse the image that the writer Mario Rigoni Stern wants to give of himself as a soldier abandoned to his fate during the disastrous Russian campaign of 1942–1943. Hence, this paper begins by mentioning the importance of autobiographism in neorealist literature after World War II. In the first part of the article, works by Paul Ricœur, Philippe Lejeune, Ivan Tassi, and Maria Anna Mariani will be considered in order to emphasise that, in autobiographical books, the writer “builds”, “transforms”, his or her own image according to a specific ideology. Following this premise, the analysis of Il sergente nella neve, according to the contemporary theories of autobiography, aims to highlight the image that the writer wants to give of himself as a soldier, an image simultaneously humanised and heroised. In fact, in his own humanity, Rigoni Stern’s hero tragically takes on an epic dimension. Thus, it can be concluded that the inhuman effort of a man who is left alone in front of a hostile nature and a powerful enemy creates a new example of the epic hero. Furthermore, the self-image modelled in this text is presented as an individual who is fighting not only for his own survival, but also for the survival of his companions. He is a leader to follow and a reference point, a soldier who does not fight for a political cause, but for greater values, like friendship, love, or honour.

In questo articolo si vuole analizzare essenzialmente l’immagine che lo scrittore vicentino Mario Rigoni Stern vuole dare di sé in quanto soldato abbandonato al proprio destino durante la disastrosa campagna di Russia del 1942–1943. Si intende, quindi, iniziare accennando all’importanza dell’autobiografismo nella letteratura neorealista del secondo dopoguerra. In particolare in questa prima parte si considereranno soprattutto i lavori di Paul Ricœur, Philippe Lejeune, Ivan Tassi e Maria Anna Mariani al fine di sottolineare come nell’autobiografia l’io scrivente finisce per “costruire”, “trasformare” e “rimodellare” l’io narrante secondo una precisa ideologia. A questa premessa seguirà l’analisi de Il sergente nella neve secondo le teorie dell’autobiografismo contemporaneo allo scopo di mettere in luce l’immagine che di sé vuole dare lo scrittore in quanto soldato al fronte: un’immagine allo stesso tempo umanizzata ed eroicizzata. Infatti, proprio nella sua umanità l’eroe rigoniano assume una dimensione tragicamente epica. Si arriva, quindi, alla conclusione che è proprio lo sforzo disumano di un uomo, lasciato solo di fronte ad una natura ostile e un nemico troppo potente, a renderlo un nuovo esempio di eroe epico. Inoltre l’io modellato in questo testo ci viene presentato come un individuo che non si batte solo per la propria sopravvivenza, ma anche per quella dei suoi compagni: un capo da seguire e un punto di riferimento, un soldato impeccabile che non combatte per una causa politica ma per un bene più grande, sia esso l’amicizia, l’amore o l’onore.

The work is a work of P. Complaints Pole, addressed to Poles, a work about Poland and its citizens, who want peace, justice and stability. However, there is a picture of the reality of which constitute not always good features and – most important – just apparitions in the last part of the fifteenth science and characteristically suggested they were already learning the first soldier’s service. So we are dealing with a well thought out composition of the text, with a specific buckle – a suggestion to the right of the text has first sentences, a literary solution to the problem – in the last part. The whole subject to the art of rhetoric, which has flourished since ancient times and took on interesting forms in the Baroque period, which specifically defined Jan Białostocki: „The theory of rhetoric is very general and ca house a huge amount of variety of implementation. It does not specify completely the mold work, but only its objectives and functions in relation to the viewer.”

Twórczość Piotra Skargi jest rozpatrywana w bardzo różnych aspektach, ogólnie mówiąc - historycznym, literackim, religijnym, politycznym czy w aspekcie sposobu prezentacji treści, jakim jest głównie retoryka. Praca P. Skargi jest dziełem adresowanym do Polaków, dziełem o Polsce i jej obywatelach, którzy chcą pokoju, sprawiedliwości i stabilności. Jednak nie jest to obraz rzeczywistości, który stanowią zawsze dobre cechy i – co ważne – tylko zjawy w ostatniej części piętnastej nauki. Mamy tu do czynienia z dobrze przemyślaną kompozycją tekstu. Przedmiotem sztuki retoryki, która rozwijała się od czasów starożytnych i miała ciekawe formy w okresie baroku, które ściśle określił Jan Białostocki: „Teoria retoryczna jest bardzo ogólna i może mieścić w sobie ogromną ilość różnorodnych realizacji. Nie określa ona zupełnie formy dzieła, lecz jedynie jej cele i funkcje w odniesieniu do widza.”

The system of creating of advances for the Armed Forces of the Slovak republic from the citizens of the Slovak Republic has not been supplemented for more than 10 years. With regard to changes in the security environment as well as potential threats of a nonmilitary nature, the issue of deplorability of armed forces advances becomes a question of the most up-to-date. The fact that, for a long time, there was no exchange and, in particular, the training of advances, the back-ups of the armed forces became unusable for practical deployment. For these reasons, the political leadership of the state has also begun to re-educate and refill the process. The process of renewing training is linked to the adoption of the necessary legislative changes. As shown by the results of the first pilot training project on voluntary training and the forthcoming second year, in addition to an adequate incentive contribution, the issue of national pride and patriotism will also need to be addressed in the future.

The status of the school chronicle as a genre documenting social life may seem dysfunctional from today’s perspective. Nowadays, there are other channels of communication and other means of transferring values, shaping attitudes and setting examples. However, the school chronicle can still be an interesting resource illustrating the contemporary means and tools — actualized in the messages of persuasion and propaganda — which effectively influence the attitudes, ideas, views and decisions of recipients, as well as shape their attitudes and construct personal patterns of parenetic character. The text focuses on the analysis of material from school chronicles which concerns the image of war and that of the soldier.
