United in the Commonwealth. The participation of Lithuanian troops in the Zborów battle in 1649
2018
Abstract In 1648, an uprising broke out in Ukraine that belonged to Poland at the time. The war was not successful for the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Cossacks and Tartars, who were helping them during the war, surrounded Zbaraż, about whose defense everyone knew in the country. King Jan Kazimierz decided to set out to rescue the besieged fortress. It was decided that not only Polish troops, but also soldiers of Lithuania would set out for Ukraine. Not only state armies, but also private regiments set out to fight. The article discusses the problem of the reasons for the participation of Lithuanians in the war, which was not only due to the provisions of the union, but also to be in…
Long-term impact of 19 years' farmyard manure or sewage sludge application on the structure, diversity and density of the protocatechuate-degrading b…
2012
International audience; Impact of long-term biosolids application on soil-living micro-organisms key players of ecosystemic services is scarcely reported. Here, the impact of the 19 year-long application of farmyard manure (FM) and sewage sludge (SS) organic fertilisation regimes on the protocatechuate-degrading bacterial (pca) community was estimated by comparison to a mineral fertilisation regime (U). The structure, diversity and density of the pca community were determined using pcaH, a gene encoding the protocatechuate 3,4-dioxygenase. Ten years after the last application, the structure of the pca community in soils amended with 55100 (100 t/ha/2 years) and to a lesser extent with FM (1…
Isolation and toxicity of Bacillus thuringiensis from potato-growing areas in Bolivia
2004
Bacillus thuringiensis was isolated from 116 samples collected in high altitude potato-growing areas in Bolivia. In these regions, main potato pests are the potato tuberworm Phthorimaea operculella, and the Andean weevils Premnotrypes latithorax and Rhigopsidius tucumanus. B. thuringiensis was found in 60% of the samples. The main percentage of samples with B. thuringiensis was found in larvae of R. tucumanus (78%). Bioassays were performed with 112 isolates. None resulted toxic to either larvae or adults of the two Andean weevils. However, 18 isolates from this study showed more toxicity against the beet armyworm Spodoptera exigua than the standard strain var. kurstaki isolated from DELFIN…
Izaak I Komnen (1007-1060). Wódz, buntownik, cesarz – w poszukiwaniu jego doktryny wojennej?
2021
Izaak Komnen (1007–1060) był pierwszym przedstawicielem swojej rodziny, który zasiadł na tronie cesarskim w Konstantynopolu. Ten wychowany przez cesarza Bazylego II (976–1025) człowiek podczas niezwykle krótkiego panowania próbował naprawić błędy swoich poprzedników, którzy pod koniec dynastii macedońskiej osłabili kraj Rzymian pod względem militarnym. Nie byłoby to możliwe bez edukacji wojskowej, rozszerzonej poprzez doświadczenie empiryczne, które Izaak nabył podczas lat służby na różnych poziomach armii cesarstwa. Czy jest zatem możliwe nakreślenie doktryny wojennej, która kierowała tym człowiekiem na różnych etapach jego służby wojskowej, a której końcem była imperialna purpura? Monety …
De capitanías generales y tesorerías militares: el control financiero y sus dilemas en tiempos de Alejandro Farnesio (siglo XVI)
2015
A partir de fuentes inéditas, este artículo analiza qué tipo de medidas administrativas estableció la Corona en la década de 1580 para someter la gestión financiera de la capitanía general del ejército de Flandes a un control más riguroso. también proporciona evidencias documentales de por qué la Corona desistió en su empeño fiscalizador en esta misma década. Con ello, el artículo muestra la disyuntiva de incrementar o rebajar el control que se planteaba en coyunturas clave. Además, pone de manifiesto el apoderamiento que la función fiscalizadora del consumo de fondos militares podía proporcionar en un escenario de guerra; la resistencia que semejante apoderamiento suscitaba entre los agent…
Out of sight : Profiling soil characteristics, nutrients and bacterial communities affected by organic amendments down to one meter in a long-term ma…
2019
Common soil characteristics, nutrients and microbial activity at deeper soil depths are topics seldom covered in agricultural studies. Biogeochemical cycles in deep soils are not yet fully understood. This study investigates the effect of different mineral and organic fertilisation on soil organic matter dynamics, nutrients and bacterial community composition in the first meter of the soil profiles in the long-term maize cropping system experiment Tetto Frati, near the Po River in northern Italy. The following treatments have been applied since 1992: 1) crop residue removal (CRR), 2) crop residue incorporation (CRI), 3) crop residue removal with bovine slurry fertilisation (SLU), 4) crop re…
The militarization of public order at the end of the reign of Charles III: The Instruction of 1784
2004
El gobierno de Carlos III, durante los últimos años de su reinado, involucra al Ejército en tareas policiales de persecución de la delincuencia y el contrabando, y responsabiliza a los Capitanes Generales de las grandes demarcaciones territoriales del mantenimiento del orden público en sus distritos. La Instrucción de 1784 regula esta nueva competencia militar. El presente trabajo analiza el origen de la Instrucción, los primeros años de su aplicación y el balance de resultados y problemas que realizan los altos mandos militares a instancia gubernamental en 1788. The Government of Carlos III, in the last years of his reign, assigned to the Army police tasks of pursuit of the delinquency and…
Capitanes del Renacimiento. Ética militar en la España mediterránea, c. 1500-1550
2004
En la Europa del siglo XVI los valores caballerescos, fundamento de la ética de la aristocracia militar, se enriquecieron con los ideales cortesanos. En este artículo estudiamos la difusión de esos ideales entre los oficiales del ejército de la Monarquía hispánica en los diversos reinos de la España Mediterránea. Estimamos que esta conjunción de principios morales proporcionó la base para una incipiente disciplina de los mandos militares. In Sixteenth Century Europe, the chivalric values which were in the core of military aristocracy ethics became enriched with court-like ideals. In this paper we study the diffusion of those ideals among army officers of the Hispanic Monarchy in the various…
Latvijos ginkluotųjų pajėgų partizanų daliniai 1919 metais | From Guerrillas to Soldiers: The Activities of Guerrilla Units of the Latvian Army in 19…
2014
On the basis of documents in the Latvian State Archives, this paper discusses the armed struggleagainst the Soviet authorities in Vidzeme, in northern Latgala, and Sela, which took placeduring the Latvian Wars of Independence, and was joined voluntarily by the local populationin an organised way. The discussion tells about the armed guerrilla groups that operated inVidzeme and northern Latgala in 1919, and formed a serious obstacle to the establishmentof Soviet power, the participation of ethnic minorities in guerrilla groups, and the features ofthe guerrilla fighting. The collaboration between Latvian guerrillas and Lithuanian troops, andtheir role in the expulsion of Soviet Latvian troops…
Ethics in military organisations : implementation in the battlefield and lessons for management sciences
2016
This research questions the idea of military ethics. Our work uses an analytical framework combining three different disciplines: Ethics of care, developed in moral philosophy, Stakeholder theory, from business ethics, New institutionalism theory, from management science. This framework is then applied on two different research fields: the first one deals with the study of battles where ethical stakes were particularly high: the battle of Alger, the Iraqi war, the Srebrenica battle.The second one is qualitative interviews with officers coming back from the battlefield: 10 US officers from the Iraqi conflict and 7 French militaries from Afghanistan. These two research fields are completed by…
