Planning and use of close air support
No full textBliska zračna potpora (BZP) predstavlja jedan od ključnih oblika integracije zračnih i
kopnenih snaga u modernim vojnim operacijama. Ovaj diplomski rad analizira povijesni razvoj
BZP-a od njezinih začetaka tijekom Prvog svjetskog rata, kroz usavršavanje u Drugom svjetskom
i Korejskom ratu, institucionalizaciju tijekom Hladnog rata, pa sve do suvremenih operacija u 21.
stoljeću. Poseban naglasak stavljen je na operativni okvir uporabe BZP-a, uključujući planiranje,
zapovijedanje i upravljanje, komunikacijske i informacijske sustave, vrste kontrole, dekonflikciju
zračnog prostora te postupke djelovanja različitih platformi. Analizirane su prednosti i ograničenja
sustava, ključne osobe u provedbi te važnost standardiziranih procedura i doktrinarnih smjernica.
Korištenjem domaće i strane vojne literature, rad nudi sveobuhvatan prikaz izazova i mogućnosti
koje BZP predstavlja u suvremenom ratovanju.Close Air Support (CAS) represents one of the key forms of integration between air and ground
forces in modern military operations. This thesis analyzes the historical development of CAS from
its origins during the First World War, through its refinement in the Second World War and the
Korean War, institutionalization during the Cold War, and into contemporary operations in the
21st century. Special emphasis is placed on the operational framework of CAS, including planning,
command and control, communication and information systems, types of control, airspace
deconfliction, and procedures for different platforms. The advantages and limitations of the system
are analyzed, along with the key personnel involved in its execution and the importance of
standardized procedures and doctrinal guidelines. By utilizing both domestic and foreign military
literature, this thesis provides a comprehensive overview of the challenges and capabilities that
CAS presents in modern warfare
Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Tactics, techniques, and procedures of mechanized units in an urban environment
No full textOperacije u urbanom okruženju su jedne od najzahtjevnijih zadaća koje postrojba može provoditi. Tome pridonosi zahtjevna konfiguracija i sadržaj prostora, brojna civilna populacija, te asimetrično ratovanje koje branitelj može provoditi. Literatura na ovu temu je detaljno i dobro razrađena te prikazuje sve izazove i njihova rješenja na jasan način. Obuka postrojbi za urbano ratovanje je kompleksan proces koji mora krenuti od najniže razine, pojedinca, te uvrstiti naučeno na veće razine. Povijest je puna primjera urbanih operacija, uspješnih i neuspješnih. Uspješnost naših snaga ovisi u potpunosti o tome koliko se dobro pripremimo za borbu. Prva bitka za Faludžu je potpuno drugačija od Druge, isključivo zbog bolje pripreme prije Druge bitke. Obavještajna priprema i djelovanje su osobito važni zbog gustoće naseljenosti civilnog stanovništva unutar urbanih središta kao i njihove periferije.Operations in urban environments are among the most demanding tasks a unit can undertake. Contributing factors include the challenging configuration and contents of the area, the numerous civilian population, and the asymmetric warfare that the defender can conduct. Literature on this topic is detailed and well-developed, clearly presenting all challenges and their solutions. Training units for urban warfare is a complex process that must start at the lowest level, the individual, and incorporate learned skills into higher levels. History is full of examples of urban operations, both successful and unsuccessful. The success of our forces depends entirely on how well they prepare for combat. The First Battle of Fallujah is completely different from the Second, solely due to better preparation before the Second Battle. Intelligence preparation is particularly important due to the density of the civilian population within urban centers and their peripheries
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis

Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
