The purpose of this essay is to illustrate the preparation of total and civil defense education in schools in the 1970s to gain insight into how the school looked and pondered the complicated world that existed outside the school's doors. By using the concepts of welfare state, welfare and civil defense culture, I have studied relevant materials to get answers to questions treating the total and civil education in schools after Lgr69, the way the state sees the subject and if it is possible to detect a civil defense culture in schools and if so, how it will be expressed.     The results show that the state emphasized education as incredibly important because knowledge of how to act in a crisis or war could be extremely crucial for the individuals and their survival. The education was so important that it got a role as a main factor in Lgr69. But even if the education was important the teachers had huge problems with the schedule and many teachers couldn´t educate all facts because they didn´t have enough time. To deal with the problem many schools learn about total and civil defense on outdoors days or sports days. The students were generally in favor of the subject but some thought it was too much fact to learn in so little time.    The question about the civil defense in school is a question that doesn´t have an obvious answer but can be seen from different perspectives. Since the total and civil defense education was a main factor in Lgr69 it appears obvious that there was a civil defense culture and the constant threat of war led to a way of thinking and acting, even in school. One purpose of the education was to see the total and civil defense as a social function in a larger context, and that goal could be related to the country's goal to build a successful welfare society that would be characterized by security - economically, politically and socially.     Another factor that points to the existence of a civil defense culture was the opportunity for the students to practice on different parts of civil defense such as self protection and accident care. The idea of a non-existent civil defense culture in schools existed because the obvious time constraints and, to some extent, nonchalance that existed among the Swedish population. Furthermore, the non-existent idea strengthens when Lgr69 itself (and even other textbooks) emphasize that all parts of the total and civil education didn´t need to be examined, it depended on the time that was available.

First, the research reported in this thesis investigated the complex interplay of dynamic factors that comprise the business environment of the defense electronics industry (DEI) as a way of understanding the tactical marketing process. Second, it aimed to develop a tool for analyzing and assessing the performance of marketing projects, and a model for success in defense marketing.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited / Local Defenses are view by many counterinsurgency strategists as an essential element in defeating an insurgency. Providing a population with a local defense organization will strongly support the government's strategy of extending its security and control over the rural areas affected by insurgent organizations. However every insurgency is unique and demands a unique counterinsurgency strategy to be defeated. There always will b e an important commonality: insurgent organizations need popular support to subsist. The final success of the government or the insurgents will be determined by the capacity of either both to win and retain the support among the rural population. The analysis of the four cases presented in this study clearly demonstrates each government's approach to the insurgent problem, including the use of local defenses to protect rural populations from insurgent attacks and influence. The organization of localdefenses during the Malayan Emergency, the El Salvador's Civil War, as well as the Vietnam War and the Terrorist Epoch in Peru proved to be a force multiplier for the government's effort, at least during the time period in which they were effectively implemented. The contribution of this analysis is not that of providing a framework or recipe for strategists to implement this kind of organizations. Rather, the contribution of this study is on a set of variables to be considered when planning the implementation of local defenses as part of a counterinsurgency effort. / Lieutenant Commander, Peru / Major, United States Army

Thesis (M.A.)--Boston University / I. History and Basis of Wage Stabilization The first effort in the history of this nation to establish a comprehensive wage control program was taken during World War II. It was not,however, until several months after the outbreak of hostilities that the President saw fit to ask Congress for special powers to permit him to initiate a wage control program. During the interim, wages were maintained at a stable level by the appeal of the President to labor and management to hold the line. Authority to begin the program of wage and price control was given the President in the Emergency Price Control Act of 1942 and subsequently the National War Labor Board was established. The wage control function during World War II was handled by several administrative groups and finally was vested in the National Wage Stabilization Board, whose function concerned the stabilization of wages and salaries and the settlement of certain labor disputes. The war in the Pacific ended with the N.W.S.B. functioning as the single wage stabilization agency. Following a brief transition period all such functions were either terminated or vested in the Secretary of Labor, and the N.W.S.B. was dissolved [TRUNCATED].
