abstract: The effects of a long-term combat deployment on a soldier's physical fitness are not well understood. In active duty soldiers, combat deployment reduced physical fitness compared to pre-deployment status, but no similar research has been performed on Army National Guard soldiers. This study is the first to identify physical fitness changes in Arizona National Guard (AZNG) soldiers following deployment to a combat zone and to assess the relationships between physical fitness and non-combat injuries and illness (NCII). Sixty soldiers from the Arizona National Guard (AZNG) completed a battery of physical fitness tests prior to deployment and within 1-7 days of returning from a 12-month deployment to Iraq. Pre and post-deployment measures assessed body composition (Bod Pod), muscular strength (1RM bench press, back-squat), muscular endurance (push-up, sit-up), power (Wingate cycle test), cardiorespiratory fitness (treadmill run to VO2 peak), and flexibility (sit-and-reach, trunk extension, shoulder elevation). Post deployment, medical records were reviewed by a blinded researcher and inventoried for NCII that occurred during deployment. Data were analyzed for changes between pre and post-deployment physical fitness. Relationships between fitness and utilization of medical resources for NCII were then determined. Significant declines were noted in mean cardiorespiratory fitness (-10.8%) and trunk flexibility (-6.7%). Significant improvements were seen in mean level of fat mass (-11.1%), relative strength (bench press, 10.2%, back-squat 14.2%) and muscular endurance (push-up 16.4%, sit-up 11.0%). Significant (p < 0.05) negative correlations were detected between percentage change in fat mass and gastrointestinal visits (r = -0.37); sit-and-reach and lower extremity visits (r= -0.33); shoulder elevation and upper extremity visits (r= -0.36); and cardiorespiratory fitness and back visits (r= -0.31); as well as behavioral health visits (r= -0.28). Cardiorespiratory fitness changes were grouped into tertiles. Those who lost the greatest fitness had significantly greater number of NCII visits (8.0 v 3.1 v 2.6, p = .03). These data indicate a relationship between the decline in cardiorespiratory fitness and an overall increase in utilization of medical resources. The results may provide incentive to military leaders to ensure that soldiers maintain their cardiorespiratory fitness throughout the extent of their deployment. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ph.D. Exercise and Wellness 2011

Aujourd'hui, les conflits s'enflamment vite et peuvent devenir importants dans un court laps de temps. La tendance des armées occidentales est d'avoir une capacité de déploiement rapide et d'être en mesure de mener des opérations militaires quelque soit le type d’environnement afin de stopper un conflit s’initialisant. La capacité de se battre dans la jungle est donc plus actuelle que jamais. Mon travail est une analyse de données qualitatives du combat en jungle dans laquelle j’utilise les principes fondamentaux des forces armées suédoises1 afin de décomposer le sujet et d’obtenir un meilleur aperçu de la guerre dans la jungle. J'utilise également comme méthode l'observation participante en vue d’obtenir une meilleure compréhension de cette dernière. Mon travail est surtout basé sur le plan tactique afin de voir comment une section agit dans ce milieu. J’ai abouti à quatre conclusions: - Pour être en mesure de mener une guerre dans la jungle, vous devez être formé, acclimaté et préparé. Si vous ne l'êtes pas, votre pire ennemi sera la jungle elle-même. - Dans la jungle, la façon de faire guerre revient aux chefs de groupe et aux soldats plus que quiconque, en raison des courtes distances et des difficultés à poser un appui-feu. - Gagner les coeurs et les esprits2 des indigènes est la clé de la mobilité afin de recueillir des renseignements ainsi qu’une certaine autonomie. - Il est important d'avoir la suprématie aérienne et d’être en mesure d'utiliser les rivières, en raison de l'avantage gagné par l’utilisation des hélicoptères et des bateaux. En outre, l’ennemi aura un gros désavantage s’il ne peut pas les utiliser.

Denna uppsats undersöker en av Försvarsmaktens senaste utvecklade förmågor, Psykologiska operationer (Psyops). Tankar och förmågor som har med psykologiska operationer att göra har alltid existerat i militära organisationer men konceptet Psyops är en nyare benämning på ämnet. Syftet med uppsatsen är att utreda om de finns användningsområden i en reguljär konflikt inom det egna rikets gränser, för det svenska Psyopsförbandet. Metoden som författaren har använt sig av är en kvalitativ deskriptiv metod samt en argumentationsanalys där Psyops vara eller icke vara inom det svenska invasionsförsvaret undersöks. Inledningsvis kommer en beskrivning över valt teoretiskt ramverk, de grundläggande förmågorna, samt en beskrivning över vad Psyops innebär. Efter det kommer en analysdel där de grundläggande förmågorna används som ett analysverktyg för att resultera i slutsatser om tänkbara användningsområden för Psyops i en nationell kontext. Dessa slutsatser presenteras i resultatkapitlet. Slutsatserna som dras är att det finns användningsområden för Psyops i en reguljär konflikt inom det egna riket. Möjliga specifika användningsområden som presenteras är Informatörstjänst, counter Psyops samt som CIMIC-förband. / This is an essay that will analyze one of the Swedish armed forces newest capabilities, Psychological operations (Psyops). Thoughts and capabilities that concern psychological operations have always existed in military organizations but the concept of Psyops is the latest choice of words for it. The purpose of the essay is investigate how the Swedish Psyops unit can be used in a regular war, within the own borders. The method and techniques that is used in the essay is a qualitative description method and a argument analysis. At first the theoretical framework that is used will be explained. In the same chapter the meaning of the concept Psyops will be explained. The next chapter contents an analyzeof the material presented in the chapter before. Here the author will use the theoretical framework as a tool for analyze that will lead to the conclusions and answers to the questions of the essay. Finally in the result chapter the conclusions will be presented. The conclusion that is made is that there are suitable applications in a regular conflict, for the Swedish Psyops unit. More specific areas of application for the unit is informational service, counter psyops and CIMIC.

O Brasil conquistou 38 medalhas no judô de 1956 a 2010 em campeonatos mundiais (CM) e de 1964-2008 em Jogos Olímpicos (JO). Estas medalhas estão divididas entre 23 atletas. Sete deles conquistaram medalhas em JO e CM. Aurélio Miguel (1988-1996), Tiago Camilo (2000-2008) e Leandro Guilheiro (2004-2008), se destacam com duas medalhas em JO e em CM. O objetivo deste estudo é elaborar uma genealogia do judô brasileiro e compreender a dimensão da influência da imigração japonesa neste contexto. Este estudo utilizou a metodologia de História Oral de Vida Híbrida. Foram entrevistados os medalhistas brasileiros em JO e CM até 2010 e os seus respectivos professores. Analisando as entrevistas identifiquei os ascendentes judoísticos dos atletas, até a determinação dos seus respectivos genearcas. Assumiu-se que genearca é aquele que chegou ao Brasil com conhecimentos suficientes para ministrar aulas de judô/jiu-jitsu. A maioria dos genearcas do judô brasileiro são imigrantes japoneses. Fogem a essa regra o sensei Georges Mehdi, naturalizado brasileiro e o sensei João Graf Vassoux. Mitsuyo Maeda foi o primeiro a chegar e fazer demonstrações de judô no Brasil, em 1914. Em 1936 Ryuzo Ogawa fundou a Budokan. Ele é o genearca que influenciou o maior número destes atletas. Antes da Segunda Guerra Mundial (SGM) verifiquei a importância do trabalho de Yassuishi Ono, Sobei Tani, e Katsutoshi Naito, em SP, Sadai Ishihara no Paraná, Soishiro Satake em Manaus e Takeo Yano em vários estados. Após a SGM identifiquei a influência de Chiaki Ishii, Shuhei Okano e Ikuo Onodera em SP, Teruo Obata e Naoshige Ushijima no RS e Michio Ninomiya no DF. O surgimento e a expansão do judô no Brasil está diretamente relacionado ao processo de imigração japonesa. Encontrei dois perfis de professores: os formadores e os treinadores. Destacam-se os professores: Massao Shinohara, Paulo Duarte, Orlando Hirakawa e Uichiro Umakakeba, formadores de nove judocas que conquistaram 18 das 38 medalhas brasileiras da história. Como treinador, destaca-se Floriano de Almeida que influenciou a carreira de sete medalhistas. Os locais de formação são distintos daqueles onde os atletas alcançaram as suas melhores performances. Entre os dojos formadores destaco as associações de judô: Vila Sônia, Hirakawa e Paulo Duarte. / Brazil won 38 medals at world championships (WC) from 1956 to 2010 and at Olympic Games (OG) from 1964 to 2008. Twenty three Brazilian athletes won those medals. Seven won medals on OG and WC. Aurélio Miguel (1988-1996), Tiago Camilo (2000-2008) and Leandro Guilheiro (2004-2008), won two medals at OG and at WC. This study searched for the judo roots from those athletes using oral histories of life as a methodology. All the 23 athletes, that won medals at WC and/or OG until 2010 were interviewed as well as their coaches. The objective was to find the ‘genearc’ from each athlete. Genearc is the sensei which had knowledge to teach judo/jiu-jitsu when they arrived in Brazil. Most of those genearcs are Japanese immigrants, but we find two “gaijins” among them, sensei Georges Mehdi, who came from France, and one Brazilian, sensei João Graf Vassoux. The first immigrants arrived in 1908 and Mitsuyo Maeda was the first fighter to show jiu-jitsu/judo in Brazil, in 1914. Ryuzo Ogawa, who created the Budokan in 1936, is the genearc who had influence over most of those athletes. The Japanese play a very important role in the development of Brazilian judo. The teachers have two different profiles, professors or coaches. The judo clubs are also identified as places to begin and grow or place to train and win. Four professors were very important during this period, Massao Shinohara, Paulo Duarte, Orlando Hirakawa and Uichiro Umakakeba. They taught nine athletes which won 18 from 38 Brazilian medals. As a coach Floriano Almeida had great influence over seven Brazilian medalists. Before the II War Yassuishi Ono, Sobei Tani, Ryuzo Ogawa and Katsutoshi Naito were the most important names, in São Paulo; Sadai Ishihara, in Paraná; Ghengo Katayama and Yoshimasa Nagashima in Rio de Janeiro, Soishiro Satake, in Manaus and Takeo Yano in several places. After the II War, Chiaki Ishii, Shuhei Okano and Ikuo Onodera were important names in São Paulo, Teruo Obata and Naoshige Ushijima in Porto Alegre and Michio Ninomiya in Brasília. The following dojos: Vila Sônia, Hirakawa and Paulo Duarte were the places which prepare more judo medalists from the beginning to the highest level.

Title: Relationship between hip muscles and dynamics front kick while using ballistic vest and backpack. Objective: Determine the rate of the relationship among isokinetic strength of hip muscles during flexion and extension movement, external and internal rotation and the dynamics of the front kick while using the military personal protective equipment. The method: The master thesis corresponds with an empirically based study of observational type. The measured research sample consisted of students (n = 15) of Military Department attending full-time and combined form of study at the Faculty of Physical Education and Sport of Charles University in Prague. Dynamics of front kick were measured by dynamometric Kistler plates and evaluated through computer software BioWare. Isokinetic strength of hip muscles during flexion and extension movement, external and internal rotation was tested and rated by isokinetic dynamometer Humac Norm. The flexibility of selected muscles group was measured by a specialist in physiotherapist area. The Spearman rank correlation coefficient of the order (rs) was chosen for the final evaluation of the rate of relationship. The results: The strongest correlation relationship was between the external hip rotation muscles (at speed 90 řs-1 ) and the impact force on the...

Avant de devenir l’écrivain spirituel de renom que l’on sait, Thomas Merton (1915-1968) vécut un difficile chemin de conversion qu’il relate dans son autobiographie (The seven storey mountain). Si les études de son parcours de vie (1915-1941), ainsi que son passage en France (1925-1928) montrent leur richesse et leur complexité, c’est son récit autobiographique qui indique le mieux son chemin de conversion. Il en ressort sept expériences religieuses qui rendent compte du combat ayant construit son identité spirituelle, déjà bien affirmée avant son entrée à la Trappe de Gethsémani. Depuis sa première expérience vécue en France (en 1927 à l’âge de 12 ans), jusqu’à celle du Lundi Saint vécue en pleine guerre (en 1941 à l’âge de 26 ans), ces expériences se déroulent au long de trois étapes de construction de son identité spirituelle, soit depuis l’exil de la foi jusqu’à son abandon en Christ. D’une portée tant littéraire que théologique, ces expériences représentent la contribution qui manquait aux études mertoniennes / Before becoming the famous spiritual writer we know, Thomas Merton (1915-1968) had a chaotic way of conversion he encounters in his autobiography (The seven storey mountain). If the studies of his life course (1915-1941) and his stay in France (1925-1928) shows the richness and complexity of this journey, it is his autobiographical account which shows the best his way of conversion. Seven religious experiences come out of his struggle which built his spiritual identity that was already steady before his entry at the Trappist monastery of Gethsemani. Since his first experience that happened in France (1927, 12 years old) until the one that took place on Monday before Easter in war time (1941, 26 years old), these experiences occurred in three steps building his spiritual identity, that is to say from the faith exile to his moment of abandon into Christ. These experiences – as library as theological – show what was missing in the Mertonian studies

xi, 56 p. : ill. (some col.) / To investigate resilience against combat stress, 175 interviews from the Veterans' History Project were coded using the Deployment Risk and Resiliency Inventory and analyzed using the Linguistic Inventory and Word Count. Contrary to hypotheses, higher levels of social support did not predict psychological outcomes, nor did social support differ between wars. Low variance in the social support measure likely contributed to the null results. The amount of combat experiences the veteran discussed did significantly predict psychological outcomes, replicating previous findings. This indicates that the LIWC measures are good indicators of psychological outcome. / Committee in charge: Holly Arrow, Chairperson; Jennifer Freyd, Member; Phil Fisher, Member

To assess this joint between transgenesis and combat hunger, the RENORBIO’s researchers network (“Rede de Biotecnologia do Nordeste” - Biotechnology Network in the Northeast) has been selected to this study for stating “the use of bioscience advances to reduce hunger "as one of its interests. The present work presents a sociological point of view on the advancement of technology in agriculture, seeking to understand the progression of GM farming in crops from some reading about modern techniques. Then the question of risk and how it is produced nowadays is discussed, and, after that, the Agroecology is presented as an alternative to transgenic agricultural management. Only then, the fight against hunger is questioned, as something controversial, whose solution options depend on different worldviews. Finally, are presented some major explanations of RENORBIO, its allies, its articulations and their researches on transgenesis. / Partindo do princípio de que o uso de transgênicos na agricultura é algo controverso, este trabalho visa discutir uma das justificativas mais fortes em favor desse tipo de tecnologia: a transgênese como uma tecnologia necessária para o combate à precarização alimentar. Para avaliar como anda essa articulação (entre transgênicos e combate à fome) foi estudada a rede de pesquisadores RENORBIO (Rede de Biotecnologia do Nordeste), pois esta estabelece “a utilização dos avanços da biociência para reduzir a fome” como um dos seus interesses. Com esse fim, o presente trabalho faz uma leitura sociológica do avanço da tecnologia na agricultura, buscando entender a progressão do cultivo de transgênicos nas lavouras a partir de algumas leituras sobre a técnica moderna. Em seguida, a questão do risco e de como ele é produzido na contemporaneidade é discutida, e, então, a Agroecologia é apresentada como outra forma de manejo agrícola alternativa aos transgênicos. Só então, o combate a fome é problematizado, como algo controverso, cujo as vias de solução dependem de visões de mundo diferenciadas. Por fim, são feitas maiores explanações sobre a RENORBIO, seus aliados, sua forma de articulação e suas pesquisas em transgênese.

O objetivo do presente estudo foi estabelecer os critérios de autenticidade científica de validade, reprodutibilidade e a sensibilidade do FSKT10s e do FSKTmult para o taekwondo. O objetivo secundário foi construir uma tabela normativa para classificação do desempenho físico gerado no FSKT. O estudo foi conduzido em seis etapas, contendo amostras de praticantes ou atletas de diferentes níveis competitivos. Visando investigar a validade lógica do FSKT, foi apresentado um questionário para 94 sujeitos que tivessem alguma experiência com a modalidade. O objetivo do questionário foi conhecer a opinião a respeito do entendimento sobre as instruções, viabilidade de aplicação e predominância energética. Os participantes julgaram que o teste é \'fácil\' ou \'muito fácil de entender\', \'viável\' ou \'muito viável\' de aplicar e que ambos os testes medem predominantemente a condição anaeróbia. Quanto maior o grau de instrução, maior a frequência de resposta de que o FSKT10s é predominantemente anaeróbio, enquanto para o FSKTmult a maior frequência de resposta no grupo não graduado mede predominantemente a condição aeróbia e o grupo pós-graduado julgou que o teste mede predominantemente a condição anaeróbia. Na etapa seguinte 13 atletas de taekwondo do sexo masculino participaram em duas sessões experimentais para determinar a validade de critério entre a luta e o FSKT. Não foram encontradas associações entre as variáveis da luta e o FSKT. Não foram identificadas diferenças significantes para o lactato pico após FSKTmult e após luta, mas houve diferença estatística entre a luta e o FSKT10s. O objetivo seguinte foi determinar a validade de constructo. Foram avaliados 153 homens agrupados em não competidores (n= 53), competidores de nível regional/estadual (n= 55) e de nível internacional/nacional (n= 45) e 42 mulheres agrupadas em competidoras de nível regional/estadual (n= 21) e de nível internacional/nacional (n= 21). Houve superioridade dos competidores de nível nacional/internacional em comparação aos não competidores. As competidoras de nível regional/estadual diferiram do grupo de nível nacional/internacional. A etapa seguinte foi conduzida com 14 atletas para determinar a reprodutibilidade relativa e absoluta do FSKT em teste e reteste. Para a reprodutibilidade relativa foram observados valores de CCI entre 0,63 e 0,95. O EPM ficou entre 0,60 e 3,99 enquanto o SWC0,6 ficou entre 0,73 e 4,83 para as diferentes séries do FSKT. Na etapa seguinte foi determinada a sensibilidade do FSKT de 8 atletas após nove semanas de treinamento de taekwondo e de força/potência muscular. Foi observada melhora do desempenho gerado em todas as variáveis analisadas, exceto para o índice de decréscimo de chutes (IDC). Por fim, 115 homens e 70 mulheres praticantes/atletas familiarizados com o FSKT executaram cada teste uma vez. Após análise dos dados foi elaborada a tabela com cinco escalas (classificação, percentil: muito bom, >=95; bom, >75; regular, 25-75; ruim, <25; muito ruim, <=5) para as seguintes variáveis FSKT10S, FSKTmult (séries 1-5) e IDC. A conclusão é que o FSKT pode ser uma ferramenta utilizada por técnicos e treinadores visando medir o desempenho físico. Diferentes critérios de autenticidade científica foram apresentados no presente estudo, o que ajudará a tomar decisões mais confiáveis quando de sua aplicação. Também será possível classificar o desempenho dos praticantes/atletas via tabela normativa / The purpose of the present study was stablishing the authenticity criteria scientific of validity, reliability and the sensibility of FSKT10s and the FSKTmult for taekwondo. The secondary purpose was building a normative table to classify physical performance generated by FSKT. The study was conducted in six parts, content sample of practitioners or athletes in different competitive levels. Aiming to investigate the logical validity of FSKT, was presented a questionnaire for 94 subjects that would have any experience with the modality. The purpose was to know the opinion about the understanding of the instructions, feasibility of application and energetic predominance. The participants judged that the test is \"easy\" or \"very easy\", \"viable\" or \"many viable\" of apply and that both tests measure predominantly the anaerobic condition. The higher the level of education, higher is the response frequency of that the FSKT10s is predominantly anaerobic, while for FSKTmult the higher response frequency in the no-graduate group measure predominantly the aerobic condition and the postgraduate group judge that the test measure predominantly the anaerobic condition. In the next step 13 male taekwondo athletes participated in twice experimental sessions to determine a validity criterion between match and the FSKT. No associations were found between match variables and FSKT. No statistically significant difference were identified for the peak blood lactate concentration post FSKT and match, but there was statistical difference between the match and FSKT10s. the next objective was to determine the construct validity. 153 subjects were evaluated grouped in non-competitors (n= 53), regional/state competitors (n= 55) and national/international competitors (n= 45) and 42 women grouped in regional/state level competitors (n= 21) and international/national level (n= 21). There was a statistically significant difference with the superiority of national/international competitors compared to non-competitors. The regional/state level competitors differed from the national/international level group. The next step was conducted with 14 athletes to determine the relative and absolute reliability of FSKT test-retest. Regarding relative reliability, ICC values between 0.63 and 0.95 were observed. The EPM was between 0.60 and 3.99 while the SWC0.6 was between 0.73 and 4.83 for the different FSKT series. The next step was to determine the sensitivity of the FSKT of 8 athletes after nine weeks of taekwondo and strength training. It was observed an improvement in the performance generated in all variables analyzed except for the kicks decrement index (KDI). Finally, 115 mens and 70 womens practitioners/athletes familiar with the FSKT performed each test once. After analyzing the data, the table was elaborated with five scales (classification: \'Excellent\': >=95th percentile, \'Good\': 75th percentile up to 94th percentile, \'Regular\': 25th percentile up to 74th percentile, \'Poor\': 6th percentile up to 24th percentile, \'Very poor\': <=5th percentile) for the following variables FSKT10S, FSKTmult (series 1-5 and total) and IDC. The conclusion is that the FSKT can be a tool used by coaches and technicians to measure physical performance. Different criteria of scientific authenticity were presented in the present study, which will help to make more reliable decisions. It will also be possible to classify the performance of the practitioners/athletes, based on the classifications of the normative table
