Book of Abstracts The 5th International Congress on Soldiers’ Physical Performance (ICSPP) carried on the rich legacy of knowledge sharing and dialogue in amongst international partners from the first and second meetings in Jÿvaskÿla in 2005, and 2011, followed by Boston in 2014, and Melbourne in 2017. This year’s meeting held in beautiful Québec City, Canada, had the highest attendance to date with a high quantity of quality scientific and operational research. Keynote addresses, symposia, thematic sessions, and oral and poster presentations covered topics within an expanded domain of subjects including physical training programs and adaptions; occupational and physical performance; testing and assessment; injury prevention and surveillance; fatigue, sleep, public health and health promotion; nutritional considerations; human factors; data analytics and technology; clothing and equipment design; biomechanics, load carriage; gender integration issues; thermoregulation and environmental issues; basic training and field training considerations; and psychological and cognitive factors. Special emphasis was placed on winter warfare and the relevance and application of research to the military operator. As part of the legacy of professional exchange that was accomplished over the week, we hope the 5th ICSPP Book of Abstracts serves not only as a reference for the excellent scientific content hosted by ICSPP, but as a reminder of the great memories and insightful conversations you experienced. The success of this event was due to the collective effort of many. A big thank you to all that contributed: The Organizing Committee, the Scientific Committee, Agora Event Management, delegates, presenters, volunteers and all the sponsors. Finally, this congress would not have been possible without the unwavering support from the Canadian Armed Forces and the Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services / Personnel Support Programs. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING EVERYONE AGAIN IN 2023 IN THE UNITED KINGDOM.

Typically, progress onto a subsequent phase of RN PES research was an interdisciplinary team of scientists and job incumbent Subject an interdisciplinary collaboration reliant upon both science Matter Experts (SME) collaborate to identify a valid short-list and SME judgement. of tasks. This study highlighted the collective importance of science and SMEs in this process. OPERATIONAL RELEVANCE METHODS This work will ensure that the appropriate role-related functional movements are translated into future RN PES policy such that A short-list of common, seafaring Royal Navy (RN) role-related physical component of operational effectiveness is maintained tasks emerged following three task list down-selection steps. and musculoskeletal injury risk mitigated. Step one, a rank stratified sample of RN personnel (n=77, mean ± SD; age 40 ± 8 years) attached to different platforms completed one (of eight) focus groups to produce a list of common platform-specific tasks. Duplicate tasks were clustered and tasks of unquestionably low physical demand, or not role-related were excluded. Step two, a convenience sample of n=545 personnel (mean ± SD; age 29 ± 7 years) completed one (of eight) platform-specific surveys that subjectively rated the physical demand (i.e. very light – maximal) and criticality (i.e. irrelevant – critical) of each focus group task list. Numeric threshold criteria excluded tasks with median physical demand and criticality ratings of 3 (out of 6). Step three, a senior military judgement panel (n=4) supported by advisors (n=6) followed a task down-selection decision tree that clustered similar tasks, and excluded tasks not performed by most ranks, trade specialisations, or on-board Naval frigates / destroyers. AUTHORS Clare Eglin (1) RESULTS Jennifer Wright (1) Step one: focus groups sifted 684 tasks, which resulted in a Matthew Maley (1) compendium of 84 role-related tasks across eight operational Jennifer Wright (1) platforms. Step two: the numeric survey threshold criteria Sarah Hollis (2) reduced the overall list from 84 to 39 tasks. A lack of differentiation in task physical demand ratings prohibited Michael Tipton (1) further task list reductions via the numeric criteria. Step three: (1) University of Portsmouth (Portsmouth, United Kingdom); a military judgement panel of SMEs systematically reduced (2) Regional Occupational Health the task list from 39 to 14 tasks.

Commonly adopted in law physiological high-stress response in police cadets, comparable enforcement training, SIT is often combined with physically to that experienced by officers undergoing occupational tasks. challenging scenarios to simulate occupational tasks and Physiological responses to SIT appear to be more dependent demands. The primary aim of this study was to assess the on psychological perception and response

A.M.C. ; Vice-President of the College of Physicians, Surgeons, and Gynaecologists of South Africa, and Chairman of its Examinations and Credentials Committee WITH A FOREWORD BY Sir ARTHUR PORRITT, Bt. K.C.M.G., K.C.V.O. .C.B.E., F.R.C.S. BRISTOL: JOHN WRIGHT & SONS LTD 1966 (§) JOHN WRIGHT & SONS LTD., 1966 Distribution by Sole Agents: United States of America: The Williams ώ Wilkins Company, Baltimore Canada: The Macmillan Company of Canada Ltd., Toronto PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN BY JOHN WRIGHT & SONS LTD., AT THE STONEBRIDGE PRESS, BRISTOL PREFACE THE disciplines involved in research into the genesis and biology of cancer are growing ever wider, and the detail of study is becoming increasingly deep. It is not surprising that the practitioner of medicine finds it difficult to maintain an appreciation of advances, and to co­ ordinate and apply the results of basic research to his own sphere of work. Not only does this imply the possibility of deficiencies in therapy, but it results in a serious and fundamental loss to the sum total of possible avenues of exploration of cancer. The lack of application and correlation of the results of investigation and experiment to the observa­ tion and management of patients suffering from cancer detracts from the practitioner's understanding of the disease and reduces his potential contribution to knowledge of the subject.

Dette er en antropologisk studie av kulturen i Marinejegerkommandoen (MJK). Med kultur mener vi her hvordan de tenker, handler og kommuniserer qua marinejegere. Studien bygger på halvannet års feltarbeid med deltakende observasjon. Rapporten beskriver ganske ulike tema, men det er nettopp gjennom helheten vi kan forstå kulturell kompleksitet. Det vil være sider ved marinejegerkulturen som de som har jobbet i eller med Forsvaret vil kjenne igjen. Det er noe grunnleggende som er likt i krigerkulturer. Drill og militær ferdighetstrening, sterkt samhold og harde overgangsritualer finner vi i alle militære styrker. Andre dimensjoner ved kulturen vil være mer gjenkjennelig for de som har jobbet med spesialoperasjoner. Spesialstyrker går gjennom en lang og hard seleksjonsperiode og de selekteres etter litt andre kriterier enn konvensjonelle styrker. Kulturelt er spesialstyrkene mer egalitære og ledelse utøves på en annen måte i spesialoperasjonen enn det som er vanlig i svært hierarkiske organisasjoner. I MJK dyrker de frem annerledestenking, kreativitet og fleksibilitet. I spesialoperasjoner er mennesket den viktigste faktoren – ikke utstyr og teknologi. Fordi operatørene ofte jobber i små team, langt fra hovedkvarter og sjefer, må de ha kalibrert det indre kompasset.

  • Número 49 Posición, Nos Lleva Varias Veces Al Pasado Y Realiza Distintas Referencias 1 De Mayo De 2019 De Interés
    1 EDITORIAL Esta edición inicia con un artículo de Guadi Calvo, quien narra los últimos acontecimientos en Libia, cuya conflictividad interna está mediada por asuntos geopolíticos y económicos que tienen que ver principalmente con el petróleo. Hay que recordar que Libia es el principal productor de África. A continuación, Luis Munar Durán nos presenta un análisis sobre el tema de la insurgencia y su historia más reciente, haciendo además algunas proyecciones de cara al futuro. Es interesante su argumento de que el proceso de paz con las FARC fue una derrota para el gobierno Colombiano. Guadi Calvo nos lleva a la República Democrática del Congo, para explorar la compleja situación interna, las luchas por el poder, y por el dominio de recursos estratégicos como el Cobalto o el Coltan. En este ISSN: 2539-0015 (en línea) escenario, se aprecia la influencia de China, potencia que hace Medellín - Colombia importantes inversiones en África desde hace décadas. El Coronel Blasco, con su acostumbrado estilo, para argumentar su Volumen 3 - Número 49 posición, nos lleva varias veces al pasado y realiza distintas referencias 1 de mayo de 2019 de interés. Si bien su artículo Divide y Vencerás está orientado a la situación política de España, su argumentación -como siempre- es aplicable a los distintos países latinoamericanos y nos ofrece mucho par aprender. Editor En otro de sus artículos, nuestro prolífico colaborador argentino Douglas Hernández Guadi Calvo, nuevamente nos lleva a Libia, donde continúa la narración de los últimos acontecimientos. Explicando lo que se esconde tras la guerra civil que allí se libra. Kandiko, desde Argentina, nos trae un muy interesante documento, Analistas Triarius en el que nos da claras nociones sobre inteligencia en general, y sobre Guadi Calvo, Luis Munar Durán, inteligencia criminal en particular.
