This research investigates the impact of neurocognitive stimulation on performance and emotional regulation in military training. Historically, research has focused on the physical and objective factors of performance, often neglecting the neurocognitive and emotional aspects that are crucial in high-stress operational conditions. The study proposes an integrated approach combining EEG monitoring with non-invasive neurostimulation using the HALO Sport device to assess its impact on focus, emotional regulation, and physical performance. In a simulated military biathlon experiment, participants were exposed to complex tasks under three experimental conditions: no stimulation, active stimulation, and placebo stimulation. The results revealed that neurostimulation with HALO Sport significantly improved cognitive and motor performance while reducing negative emotional responses such as anxiety and enhancing mental resilience. The study demonstrates that neurocognitive stimulation can be an effective method for optimizing military training, contributing to better emotional self-regulation and more efficient operational performance under stress. The findings suggest that this integrated neurocognitive approach could revolutionize military training strategies, fostering a balance between physical and mental performance crucial for critical operational contexts.

This article examines the application and potential impact of intent-based leadership (IBL) in military education, focusing on its ability to enhance decision-making, autonomy, and responsibility among military cadets and officers. IBL, a leadership model popularized by the former U.S.. Navy Captain David Marquet shifted authority from a centralized, top-down approach to a decentralized system that empowers subordinates to make decisions aligned with the commander’s intent. This study aims to document the existing research on IBL and analyze its effectiveness in military settings, drawing insights from both case studies and leadership programs in high-stakes environments. This article reviews documented evidence from various military academies and allied organizations, focusing on the alignment between IBL principles and the desired leadership competencies of military personnel. The findings suggest that IBL can address key gaps in traditional military leadership training by enhancing critical thinking, adaptability, and accountability among trainees. However, implementing IBL in military institutions presents challenges, including resistance from entrenched hierarchical structures, and the need for extensive cultural adaptation. This study provides a foundation for understanding the potential of IBL in military education, highlighting both the opportunities for leadership development and the structural considerations necessary for effective implementation.

The study tackles the issue of the essential behaviours that directly affect the impression that a leader leaves upon the others. Passion and poise are the most explicit forms of manifestation of leadership and, at the same time, the chance to be efficient in having successful interactions between the leaders and other people.

Interest in the use of unguided optical systems is growing, due to the development of wireless mobile and indoor communication systems as well as the applications of lasers in space technology. The proposed laser transmitter, with frequency-modulated carrier, represents the optical transmitter of a wireless optical communication system, for transmitting audio signals on laser carriers, which can be used both inside buildings and outside, for distances estimated according to system parameters. In the paper are presented elements of design of the electrical diagram of principle, as well as analysis by SPICE simulation of the designed circuit. The results obtained by SPICE simulation synthesize the operation of the laser transmitter, allowing an optimization of the parameters of the component circuits.

In this study, we test the association of academic identification (AI) and trait anxiety (TA) with early academic dropout intentions (EADI). Additionally, we test the impact of the interaction between AI and TA, while controlling for socio-demographic covariates specific to the participants, over EADI (i.e., gender, parents` education background, and educational expectancies). Our sample consisted of 439 first-year university students. We used the social identification theoretical background and results show that AI is associated with low scores of EADI. Still, the high trait anxiety context in which students find themselves in their first year is a risk factor, when AI is low or average. Results also show gender differences (i.e., men have a higher risk of EADI, compared to women). Results highlight the need to invest more in the development of AI to counter and thwart the risk of emphasizing AT for young people.

The present study aims to apply a questionnaire to the students of the Air Force Academy "Henri Coandă", in Brasov, with the main objective
 of researching the students' perceptions regarding the ethical and academic rules in Physical Education classes. A number of 100 students were interviewed and answered 15 items concerning the main aspects related to the operational framework in which specific activities were carried out in Physical Education classes.

The aim of this article is to identify differences in doctrinal projection at the level of the North Atlantic Alliance. The article has been designed as a comparative study of the doctrinal projections specific to information operations (InfoOps), mainly with regard to the doctrines and operations manuals of the United States of America, as the originator of most of these documents, NATO doctrines and domestic doctrines. On an initial examination of the three doctrinal projections, it can be observed that there are differences in the InfoOps approach, both in terms of surface elements, recognized by identifiable markers, and differences in perspective, which allow and encourage interpretation. There is therefore a need to clarify the nature of InfoOps and its correct understanding from a conceptual and practical point of view, and to achieve coherence between the doctrines for information operations of NATO member states and the allied doctrine.

"The application of tools and methods to improve the effectiveness of the information security management system by detecting and neutralizing cyber attacks, monitoring and blocking DDoS attacks, Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS), Intrusion Prevention Systems (IPS), blocking TOR Exit Nodes, blocking Layer 7 Regular Expression attacks, web filtering, blocking malware attacks, ransomware, spammers and spam servers has become a sine-qua-non requirement in the management of information security incidents in order to minimize their impact on IT systems. The paper provides insight into the impact of integrating much-needed security requirements for information technology users in military systems. The collection of information was carried out on a statistical sample of 128 students from military academies in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland. The research methods are complemented by cross-sectional (questionnaire, survey, observation) and observational methods."

Abstract Nowadays the people need tools that will help in their work and businesses. For this purpose, mobile applications have been developed for almost all domains, in order to have a quick access to information. The architecture and the design of a mobile application is very important. When looking for the best mobile application architecture, the developers must choose between MVC, MVP and MVVM models. As aprove of concept we implemented a mobile application for task management that uses the MVC model, the most popular in the mobile app development. Generally, task management tools help the people to work efficiently and to organize their tasks. The aim of this paper is to analyze the advantages of using Java ME, XML, Firebase and its services in mobile applications development. The conclusion is that these technologies are suitable for mobile task management applications implementation.KeywordsApplicationTasks ManagementActivities
