Logistical sustainability at the tactical level represents the ability of manoeuvre units to maintain the flow of essential resources ‒ such as rations, ammunition, fuel, and equipment ‒ under varying operational pressures, losses, and distances, thereby ensuring continuity and efficiency in both offensive and defensive operations. This article proposes a simplified mathematical model based on the R–A–L–T variables (Resources, Adaptability, Losses, Time) to assess logistical sustainability in complex tactical scenarios. The study integrates NATO doctrinal analysis, Just-in-Time principles, and emerging technologies to optimize supply flows. The methodology is based on a case study using hypothetical data focused on two tactical combat units, for which logistical variables are quantified along primary and secondary lines of effort. The results are compared and interpreted to highlight differences in sustainability between defensive and offensive operations. The study provides a scientific basis for planning and conducting integrated tactical operations while ensuring continuous and adaptable logistical support in order to achieve the desired end state.

            <description><![CDATA[

In the context of the intensification of hybrid wars and global geopolitical competition, international law and national legal norms no longer function solely as regulatory mechanisms but have become instruments of influence within the logic of confrontation. This article examines the main modalities of lawfare, ranging from the use of international courts and the imposition of economic sanctions to the exploitation of normative gaps and the adoption of legislation with extraterritorial effects. The analysis of representative case studies (Israel-Palestine, USA-China, Russia-Ukraine) demonstrates that lawfare simultaneously serves as a tool for justifying one’s own actions and discrediting adversaries, producing significant consequences for public perception and the balance of power. The article highlights the consolidation of lawfare as a strategic instrument of hybrid warfare and underscores its implications for the stability and legitimacy of international law.

            <description><![CDATA[

With the rapid rise of short-form videos (SFVs) on social media, understanding their influence on consumer behavior is increasingly important. This study examines how SFV gratifications affect consumer engagement and purchase intention, with perceived value as a mediator and e-influencer as a moderator. Grounded in the Uses and Gratifications (U&amp;G) perspective and the Stimulus-Organism-Response (SOR) framework, a conceptual model was developed and then tested using a quantitative survey of 690 valid responses, analyzed via Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM). Results show that the gratifications studied significantly impact consumer engagement and, indirectly, purchase intention through perceived value. Unexpectedly, most moderating effects of e-influencer were statistically insignificant. A qualitative follow-up using explanatory sequential design suggests that the term “influencer” may have been misunderstood in the Algerian context. This study offers theoretical insights and practical guidance for Algerian brands optimizing their digital marketing strategies.

            <description><![CDATA[

Modern military nutrition transcends the simple provision of calories, evolving into an integrated system that prioritises individual performance, food safety, and logistical efficiency. This article analyses the convergence between NATO nutritional standards, the use of functional supplements, and the implementation of emerging technologies, such as 3D food printing and smart rations with sensors. By examining international case studies from the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, and Estonia, this paper highlights the benefits of nutritional personalisation, supply chain optimisation, and enhanced food safety. Finally, the article proposes a series of recommendations for the adoption of these innovations within the Romanian Army, arguing that such a hybrid model represents an essential investment in the health, resilience, and operational performance of military personnel, thereby preparing the armed forces for the complex challenges of the future security environment.

            <description><![CDATA[

In the context of the rapidly deteriorating regional security environment and the lessons generated by the war in Ukraine, this article examines how contemporary challenges reshape the role and requirements of logistic transport at the tactical and joint levels in national and allied operations within NATO. The study applies a qualitative documentary content analysis to a corpus of open-source NATO and EU policy/doctrinal documents and selected specialised studies. Using a directed coding scheme derived from the conceptual framework, the analysis maps, the main categories of challenges affecting military mobility and the corresponding enablers and mitigation measures relevant to logistic transport planning and execution. The findings consolidate two dominant adaptation tracks: the integration and interoperability of logistic transport through institutional coordination, standardisation and digital logistics/C2, and the adaptation of movement and sustainment to emerging threats, including UAS, electronic warfare and cyber disruption. At the same time, the corpus highlights persistent governance fragmentation and uneven procedural harmonisation as recurring constraints. The article concludes that logistic transport is evolving from a supporting function optimised for peacetime efficiency to a strategic enabler of operational resilience and deterrence under crisis conditions.

            <description><![CDATA[

This article examines the intersection of kinetic violence and state-linked cyber operations in the context of Russia’s war against Ukraine. Using data from the Global Terrorism Database (GTD), the study analyzes patterns of violent incidents in Ukraine from 2014 onward and situates these trends alongside documented cyber campaigns attributed to Russian state-aligned actors. Rather than treating all non-conventional actions as terrorism, the analysis differentiates between terrorist-classified incidents captured in GTD and cyber operations targeting critical infrastructure, communications, and government systems. Case studies including the 2015 power grid disruption, the NotPetya malware outbreak, and subsequent wiper attacks illustrate how cyber capabilities have been deployed in coordination with or parallel to kinetic operations. The findings demonstrate that cyber operations function as a strategic enabler within hybrid conflict rather than as a standalone category of terrorism. The article concludes by assessing the broader implications for international security, highlighting how cyber spillover effects, supply-chain vulnerabilities, and transnational infrastructure dependencies extend the consequences of the Ukraine conflict beyond the immediate theater of war.

            <description><![CDATA[

Customer-facing sales teams are increasingly managed through real-time dashboards, yet disengagement and turnover intentions are often blamed on “work ethic” or generational stereotypes. This integrative literature review uses self-determination theory to synthesize evidence on how performance coaching influences motivation, job satisfaction, and turnover intentions in high-pressure sales roles, with particular attention to early-career employees often labeled Generation Z. A systematic search and multistage screening process across major business and education databases informed a thematic synthesis organized around autonomy, competence, and interpersonal relatedness. The findings suggest that coaching is more likely to sustain effort when leaders preserve ownership within constraints, provide clear rationales for performance expectations, and avoid a purely compliance-driven tone. Coaching also appears more effective when feedback is translated into specific skill-building steps and near-term practice opportunities that make progress visible. The relational quality of coaching further shapes whether feedback is experienced as support or correction, which may influence commitment in metric-driven settings. This review advances the coaching and motivation literature by reframing “generational” concerns as a solvable need-support challenge embedded in day-to-day accountability practices. Practical implications emphasize bounded choice, development-focused follow-up, and respectful check-ins that maintain performance standards while supporting psychological needs.

            <description><![CDATA[

Provisions help organizations manage uncertainty and reduce the economic impact of shocks, particularly during crises. As defined by IAS 37, provisions are liabilities with uncertain amounts or timing and are recognized when a present obligation exists and an outflow of resources is probable. The global financial crisis (2007-2009) demonstrated that the traditional incurred-loss accounting model delayed loss recognition, thereby increasing pressure on bank balance sheets. In response to these shortcomings, IFRS 9 introduced the expected credit loss (ECL) model, which facilitates earlier recognition of asset quality deterioration and aims to reduce procyclicality. Empirical studies, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, show that banks increased provisions rapidly in response to heightened economic uncertainty. However, provisioning decisions continue to vary due to managerial discretion and differences in macroeconomic scenarios, which affect the consistency and timeliness of provisions. This article examines how provisions function during crises, the evolution of the regulatory framework, and their broader impact on financial stability.

            <description><![CDATA[

The need to win a war dictates significant innovations and advances in the technological field, which then leads to fundamental changes in other areas of social life. This being the hypothesis of this research, in an increasingly complex operational environment (military conflict), characterized by uncertainty and low predictability, such as the one in Ukraine, artificial intelligence (AI) can represent a viable solution for multiplying the combat power of combat forces and for achieving competitive advantage in the confrontation spaces. The influence of AI is constantly expanding, developing useful applications in numerous areas of military confrontation, surveillance based on intelligent sensors, decision-making support, integration of autonomous vehicles (drones, land or naval autonomous systems and machines), analysis of data from the battle space and complex simulations for the preparation of military forces. Starting from these aspects, recent developments in AI technologies will be analyzed and highlighted to emphasize their potential for redefining civilian capabilities in some areas, for the benefit of people.

            <description><![CDATA[

Chemical weapons constitute one of the most severe threats to international security, comprehensively prohibited by the Chemical Weapons Convention (CWC). Nevertheless, significant regional variations exist in their application: the Middle East regularly employs chemical weapons in armed conflicts, while their use in Europe is practically considered forbidden. This study examines the regional differences through a comparative analysis framework, applying three theoretical perspectives: democratic peace theory, weak state theory, and theories of norm diffusion and erosion. The research employs qualitative comparative methodology, case study analysis (Iraq 1988, Syria 2013, Salisbury 2018), and secondary source synthesis. Findings indicate that institutional strength, democratic accountability, legal framework effectiveness, and international norm internalization are determining factors in restraining chemical weapons application. The study concludes with policy recommendations for the international community.

            <description><![CDATA[

Under the influence of rapid technological development and the growing pressure of social media, the Romanian Army has changed its approach of interacting with civil society. The Ministry of National Defense has constantly adjusted its messages to respond not only to informational needs, but also to the objectives of creating and maintaining an active digital community. In this paper, we analyze the general characteristics of the posts on the Ministry of National Defense’s Facebook platform in 2024, using content analysis methods applied through the NVivo program. The ministry’s posts are sober, neutral, predominantly informative and contain substantial visual elements. They convey the image of a modern army, deeply involved in both NATO and the social life of the country. Through these characteristics, the posts correspond to institutional requirements regarding online communication, presence, and behavior in the public space in a labor market dominated by Generations X and Y. However, since its future recruits are part of Generations Z and Alpha, the Romanian Army will have to adjust its online communication strategies to address their needs and digital consumption habits.

            <description><![CDATA[

Regardless of the period of time to which we refer, the demand for money practically reflects the desire of economic entities, organizations but also individuals to own resources, especially money and the attractiveness for a certain amount of money. This attractiveness can be seen in parallel with the amount of goods and services that can be purchased with that amount. There are two basic approaches related to the long-term vision. One is the Keynesian approach, which emphasizes the relevance of the claim for money in economics and the motivations for possession it, and the other is the monetarist approach that emphasizes the strong effects of monetary policy on economic activity. The second category also includes the quantitative theory of money ‒ Irving Fisher’s equation. In our days, these choices are theoretical notions based on various methodological points of view. This article aims to present the evolution of theories regarding the value and determinants of money, its impact on the economy and the principles of the quantitative theory of money as presented by Irving Fisher. At the same time, the monetary situation in Romania in relation to the quantitative theory of money is exemplified by statistical data collected from official sources.

            <description><![CDATA[

This article explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instruction as a means to cultivate critical thinking skills among learners. Grounded in socio-cognitive and constructivist frameworks, the paper examines how AI-powered tools, such as chatbots, automated feedback systems, and intelligent tutoring platforms can promote analytical reasoning, inference, and metacognition in learners. Drawing on recent empirical research and classroom-based studies, the article identifies practical strategies for incorporating generative AI technologies into designing EFL activities. Particular emphasis is placed on AI-mediated dialogues and AI-supported peer review as pedagogical interventions that stimulate higher-order thinking. In parallel, the article addresses key ethical considerations, including algorithmic bias, data privacy, and the potential of overreliance on AI at the expense of learner autonomy and creativity. The paper concludes by underscoring the evolving role of educators and the need for AI literacy to ensure that AI serves as a transformative, yet critically managed, tool in language education.

            <description><![CDATA[

Based on data collected through a survey on a sample of 801 employees and 200 managers in Romania, this research investigates the productivity of home versus office work, the demographics of efficient remote workers, and the accuracy of their productivity self-assessments. There is a general consensus among both employees and managers that work location alone does not impact overall, technical, or social performance based on both managerial and employee assessments. The analysis highlights several significant perceptual gaps and demographic influences. A notable discrepancy exists in performance ratings: managers consistently rate their employees’ performance lower than how employees rate themselves, regardless of work location, particularly for core tasks like fulfilling performance criteria and duties without mistakes. Managers and in-office employees agree completely on social performance, but they show significant disagreement regarding remote workers’ social skills and teamwork. This suggests that the lack of physical contact fosters managerial distrust or skepticism concerning the social effectiveness of remote staff. Demographic factors like gender and age are not significant predictors of self-assessed performance. On the other hand employees without minor children were significantly more likely to report higher productivity when working from home, indicating that the presence of children influences perceived productivity based on work location. The future of work depends on efficient adaptation of the organizations to new working conditions.

            <description><![CDATA[

In light of the swift advancement of drone technology and the growing deployment of small Unmanned Aerial Systems (sUAS), land forces are faced with fundamental challenges and opportunities that significantly transform the mode of action and tactics used on the battlefield of contemporary and future warfare. In our paper, we explore the transformative effects of sUAS on the actions of combat forces, combat support forces and military logistics of land forces. We consider both the role of sUAS in enhancing operational capabilities ‒ through advanced reconnaissance, continuous surveillance, precision strikes, force protection, rapid mobility, and the safeguarding of routes and supply depots ‒ and the risks associated with their potential exploitation by enemy forces. Thus, we address essential tactical scenarios in which we analyze how sUAS can decisively influence the actions of all types of forces within the land forces. The study also underlines the imperative of updating doctrines and operational frameworks of land force structures for the effective integration of emerging technologies and the development of adequate protective measures, essential for ensuring a sustainable tactical advantage in future conflicts.

            <description><![CDATA[

The hydrocarbons sector constitutes the driving force of the Algerian economy. It is considered the main source of national revenue, ensuring the financing of expenditures across most strategic sectors. This article analyzes the impact of the hydrocarbons sector on the trends in public spending in Algeria from 1980 to 2023. The analysis relies on an econometric approach (the VECM model), which makes it possible to examine the short-term behavior of the variables as well as the long-term equilibrium dynamics. The results of the study reveal that oil taxation has a significant positive impact on public expenditures. In other words, an increase in fiscal revenues from the oil sector leads to higher public spending. Conversely, the relationship between hydrocarbon exports and public expenditures is negative. This suggests that an increase in exports does not immediately translate into higher public spending, due to the existence of budget stabilization mechanisms. The study also showed that oil price and exportation do not contribute to explaining the behavior of public expenditures either in the short term.

            <description><![CDATA[

This study explores the increasing significance and complexity of international and cross-cultural negotiation in today’s globalized environment. Drawing on recent theoretical and empirical research, it examines how cultural, political, legal, and economic factors interact to shape negotiation processes and outcomes across borders. The analysis distinguishes between environmental and immediate contextual influences, emphasizing their role in determining negotiation dynamics. Special attention is given to five conceptualizations of culture ‒ shared values, cultural syndromes and logics, tightness-looseness, learned behavior, and culture in context ‒ that offer diverse frameworks for understanding intercultural negotiation behavior. The study highlights that no single model can capture the full range of cross-cultural negotiation scenarios, and it underscores the importance of cultural intelligence, relational dynamics, and adaptive strategies. Ultimately, this research provides a comprehensive and nuanced view of the challenges faced by negotiators operating in international settings, offering valuable insights for both scholars and practitioners seeking effective approaches to global negotiation.

The globalization of media communication has led to increasingly sophisticated methods, making the transmission of information at a fast pace that exceeds known range limits. One way that may arise and favorably perpetuate the information war is through media networks. By controlling the media, the manipulator can influence people, aiming to create a favorable attitude toward themselves. Our research examines the evolving relationship between technologies and media networks, exploring whether the convergence of digital technologies and media networks continue to fuel the persistence of information warfare as a strategic tool. We intend to present the interference of media networks and information warfare, the theoretical framing of the two concepts, but also folding these theoretic issues into practice, to demonstrate that media networks are a powerful factor influencing the information war. The research affirms that while technological advancements continue to reshape the nature of information warfare, media networks remain a central and potent tool in global power struggles, demanding heightened awareness and regulatory frameworks to address emerging challenges.

In an era dominated by digital communication, the proliferation of fake news presents a profound and complex threat to contemporary society. The present paper explores the multifaceted nature of fake news ‒ distinguishing between misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation ‒ and examines its far-reaching consequences across social, political, and personal spheres. It outlines how the rapid spread of falsehoods via social media algorithms erodes trust in institutions, media, and science, while fueling societal and political polarization. The real-world impact of fake news is underscored through case studies in public health crises, incitement of violence, financial fraud, and psychological harm. The paper also investigates current strategies to combat the “infodemic,” emphasizing the need for enhanced media literacy, responsible platform governance, and robust support for independent journalism. By highlighting both the dangers and the possible solutions, the paper calls for a collective, sustained response to restore truth and accountability in the digital information landscape.
