Fowler Old Dominion University, 2016 Director: Dr. Kurt Taylor Gaubatz What must states do to ensure victory on the field of battle? Conventional scholarship claims that a number of material and institutional factors significantly affect a nation’s ability to generate military power. Recent studies suggest that other factors, including levels of education, civil-military relations, and western culture also play an important role. This new line of logic is important because these factors tend to be glaringly absent from rigorous concepts of military power. The principle finding of this study is that culture matters and that it matters more than originally thought. Culture is admittedly complex, intangible, and difficult to count, but empirical evidence shows that culture manifests concrete effects in combat, at times determining battlefield outcomes. Culture’s absence from meaningful definitions of military power results in world leaders, military commanders, and learned scholars making important political, operational, and theoretical decisions with only partial information. Put plainly, decision-makers cannot accurately assess the martial capabilities of themselves or others without accounting for culture. Consequently, national leaders likely perceive threats where none exists; ignore threats that truly matter; place great trust in incapable allies, and turn away competent help. Moreover, this ignorance of what truly matters in combat means that much of a state’s potential military capability remains untapped and left to happenstance. iii Copyright, 2016, by Eric S.

Hanson v ACKNOWLEDGMENTS God is good. This dissertation would not have been possible without the mind and spirit apportioned to me by Him. This research was also made possible through the investment of so much time and effort from family, friends, and colleagues. I must thank my wife, Teresa, for without her this document would not exist. I thank my children for their patience when daddy’s mind (and often body) was somewhere far, far away. My sincerest appreciation goes to Drs. Kurt Taylor Gaubatz, David Earnest, and Angela O’Mahony for mentoring me through this, the longest and loneliest single exercise of my professional academic career. I must also thank Drs. Stephen Biddle, Stephen Long, Michael Beckley, and Robert House for not only conducting remarkable research into this field before me but more specifically for so graciously sharing their data with me upon request. I am grateful to Major General John Ferrari, Drs. Tim Bonds and Meg Harrell, and the entire RAND Corporation Army Arroyo Center leadership for providing the necessary environment to complete this monumental task. In a more formative sense, I thank Dr. Fred Shepherd for instilling in me a love of foreign people and distant lands. I am grateful to Drs. Simon Serfaty, Regina Karp, Steven Yetiv, Paul Harris, Russel Ramsey, Stephen Twing, and Angela Kachuyevski for imparting to me the academic foundation necessary to undertake this research in the first place. I appreciate Dr. Dean Nowowiejski for encouraging me through his example that a Soldier can pursue and achieve his academic passion while still serving his country. Lastly, I must thank Major Evans Hanson for modeling for me what it meant to be a Father, Soldier, Scholar, and Friend. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................................... viii LIST OF FIGURES ....................................................................................................................... ix Chapter I.

  • Experimental Study of Municipal Solid Waste (Msw) Landfills and Non- Authorized Waste Damps Impact on the Environment
    Linnaeus ECO-TECH ´10 Kalmar, Sweden, November 22-24, 2010 EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE (MSW) LANDFILLS AND NON- AUTHORIZED WASTE DAMPS IMPACT ON THE ENVIRONMENT Veronica Tarbaeva Dmitry Delarov Committee on Natural Resources of Leningrad region, Russia ABSTRACT A purpose was an analysis of waste disposal sites existing in the Leningrad region and a choice of facilities potentially suitable for the removal and utilization of greenhouse- and other gases. In order to achieve the purpose in view, data were collected on the arrangement of non-authorized landfills and waste dumps within the Leningrad region. The preliminary visual evaluation and instrumental monitoring were carried out for 10 facilities. The evaluation of greenhouse- and other gas emissions into the atmosphere as well as of ground water pollution near places of waste disposal was performed. A databank was created for waste disposal sites where it could be possible to organize the work on removing and utilizing of greenhouse gas. The conducted examination stated that landfills exert negative influence on the environment in the form of emissions into the atmosphere and impurities penetrating underground and surface water. A volume of greenhouse gas emissions calculated in units of СО2 – equivalent from different projects fluctuates from 63.8 to 8091.4 t in units of СО2 – equivalent. Maximum summarized emissions of greenhouse gases in units of СО2 – equivalent were stated for MSW landfills of the towns of Kirishi, Novaya Ladoga and Slantsy, as well as for MSW landfills near Lepsari residential settlement and the town of Vyborg. KEYWORDS Non-authorized waste dumps, MSW landfills, greenhouse gases, atmospheric air pollution, instrumental monitoring.

  • The Siege of Leningrad (1941-1944)
    War fronts The siege of Leningrad (1941-1944) François-Xavier NÉRARD ABSTRACT Lasting 900 days between September 1941 and January 1944, the siege of Leningrad claimed the lives of 800,000 of the city’s inhabitants, mainly through cold and hunger. The population of the city was subjected, moreover, to enemy fire and to ruthlessly strict control by the Soviet authorities. The memory of the suffering of Leningrad’s population was first celebrated, then stifled, and is only gradually re-emerging. Tanya Savicheva's Diary The siege of Leningrad by German and Finnish forces (as well as the soldiers of the Division Azul, Spanish volunteers) is a key episode in the Second World War on Soviet territory and saw the reappearance of a form of warfare that was thought to have died out in the nineteenth century. Although less present in narratives of the war in the West, the siege was a major traumatic event for the USSR and Russia. As a symbol of resistance and suffering, it differs from Stalingrad, a heroic victory that could be celebrated more easily. Of Leningrad’s 2.5 million inhabitants on the eve of the conflict, only 600,000 were still alive in the city when it was liberated by the Red Army on 27 January 1944, around one million having been evacuated before and during the siege. It is estimated today that 800,000 people died in the siege, mostly from cold and hunger. Leningrad, along with Moscow and Kiev, was one of the major objectives of the German offensive launched on 21 June 1941, but the city was not taken during the attack.

Traditionally, transitivity phenomena are treated as a combination of different types of entities, formed as a result of the transformation processes or the reflection of the intermediate, syncretic facts that characterize the language system in the synchronous aspect.

We are in California, in the city of Palo Alto, meeting with a veteran of the Great Patriotic War. Please, introduce yourself, tell us what your childhood was like, where you studied, in which family you grew up, how you ended up in the army, and how you spent the war years? Please proceed. My name is Anatoly Kibrik. I was born on May 10, 1924 in Kiev [Kyiv]. When I turned two, my family relocated to Moscow. I was born in a Jewish family. My maternal grandfather was an official rabbi. In Moscow, Father worked in the industrial cooperation system as the commercial director of a factory. I went to school no. 284 in Rostokinsky and then Shcherbakovsky district of Moscow. About 70% of the pupils in our class were Jewish. Everyone went to the front, and only two survived. The rest perished. On June 21, 1941 we had a graduation ball. I kissed a girl for the first time. We wandered the streets of Moscow at night, and that’s when I had my first kiss. And in the morning the war was declared.
