Since 1845, the United States Naval Academy has prepared professional military leaders at its Annapolis, Maryland, campus. Although it remains steeped in a culture of tradition and discipline, the Academy is not impervious to change. Dispelling the myth that the Academy is a bastion of tradition unmarked by progress, H. Michael Gelfand examines challenges to the Naval Academy's culture from both inside and outside the Academy's walls between 1949 and 2000, an era of dramatic social change in American history

It is obvious that our contemporary societies with diverse languages need to enhance effective communication in foreign languages, especially those who belong to the EU and NATO organizations. Teaching and learning is very time consuming, so it is important to implement new, effective and time saving language teaching methods so that that they could intensify the second language learning and acquisition. Hence, we need to acquire language proficiency requirements in fast foreign language learning for it is internationally relevant to NATO allies who are involved in various international missions at the moment and in the future. So that learning and acquisition of the foreign language would be effective, new methods of language teaching methodology are required to deal with any difficulties that the teachers face in teaching the second language and selecting an appropriate method for each of the topic in the study of any language, especially teaching the military. Nowadays an active search for new methods and techniques of teaching foreign languages is taking place especially teaching the military who need in the shortest time to obtain the second/foreign language acquisition. That meets the current state of methodological science and the rapid development of the military community as a whole. Intensive computerization of teaching military is very much proceeding in the foreign language teaching and learning environment. It is very beneficial to apply these all gadgets in developing new learning habits of a learner. New technology savvy generation can easily recognize intel spreading from the digital screen which actives perception of audiovisual resources of learning in the system of education in military or civil schools and universities. Authentic video and various videos created by methodologists, specifically for educational purposes, are being more and more frequently applied in the process of foreign languages teaching. The use of video clips at the foreign language lessons perfectly suits to the tasks which foreign language teachers face in the context of the development of active multilingualism in Lithuanian society. The article highlights the implementation of audiovisual method in teaching the second/foreign languages at the Military Academy of Lithuania. The analysis of the pros and cons of this method is also produced as well as the requirements for authentic audio-visual materials which can be applied for educational purposes and the technology of methodological development of authentic video material for its use in a foreign language course. The authors assert the importance of implementation of methods economizing learning and acquisition time and intensifying the educational process of the second/foreign language.

This paper explores the principles of the Slow Movement to counter work-stress among university and college teachers. We believe that a Slow approach to teaching and learning may be the most effective way to counter the erosion of humanistic education by the corporate ethos of consumerism, efficiency, accountability, and standardisation We explore the principles of Slow not only to counter the consumer model of education but also to foster better teachers and learners. It is well-documented that changes in academic work have created significant stress among academic teachers (Catano, Francis, Haines, Kirpalani, Shannon, Stringer, & Lozanksi, 2007; Miller, Buckholdt & Shaw, 2008), and students (Dabney, 1995; Brown & Ralph 1999; Rowbotham and Julian 2006), but what requires further attention is the link between the corporate reliance on efficiency and the problem of lack of time in learning and teaching. Corporatisation has sped up the clock. The Slow Movement—originating in the Slow Food Movement—has gained recognition as a way to resist both globalization and the frantic pace of contemporary life. While slowness has been lauded in architecture, business, urban life and interpersonal relations, among others, it has yet to be applied to academia. Yet, if there is one sector of society that should be cultivating deep thought in themselves and others it is academic teachers. The consumerism that has taken hold in higher education propels the belief that time is money, resulting in superficial learning (Coté & Allahar, 2011b; Readings, 1996). Perhaps the most damaging effect of corporatisation in the universities is that individual educators feel paralysed in the face of overwhelming odds. Our focus on individuals and their own professional practice is conceived as political resistance to corporatisation.

Richard Overy is Professor of History at the University of Exeter and the author of more than twenty-five books on the age of the World Wars and European dictatorship, including The Bombing War: Europe 1939–1945. He is a Fellow of the British Academy.Airpower has been used in armed conflicts since World War I. Aircraft have been deployed in support of the army on the ground and the navy on the surface. However, the twentieth century, with two World Wars, has also seen aerial bombardment of cities that fell outside the traditional use of airpower. During World War II, as part of the ideology of "total war", cities were deliberately selected as targets of such attacks with the purpose of undermining the morale of the enemy's population and "winning the war". Nowadays, although the deliberate bombing of entire cities is prohibited, it is still believed that aerial bombardment can produce certain political dividends for belligerents. In this interview, Richard Overy provides a historical perspective on the evolution of aerial bombardment since the World Wars, and puts in context the use of airpower in contemporary armed conflicts.

Since its inception in 1845, the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, has often faced the challenge of balancing technical and professional training demands of the naval service against the social and cultural conditions of an increasingly complex world. Despite the institution's attempts to address the multiple demands of the social and military contexts, the study of behavioral science in general, and sociology in particular, has been until recently largely absent. In response to challenges and deficiencies associated with its educational program, the Naval Academy has undertaken a path of reform to balance professional training with the need to educate graduates as competent and effective leaders. This article addresses some of the institutional, organizational, and curricular changes at the Naval Academy, with a focus on the inclusion and development of courses in human behavior and sociology as a means to study this process of leadership education.

In 2019, an outbreak of Mycoplasma pneumoniae occurred at a military academy in China. The attack rate (10.08%,60/595) was significantly different among the units. High-intensity training and crowded environments to which cadets are exposed are the high risk factors for the outbreak of M. pneumoniae. In-time prevention and control measures effectively controlled the spread of the epidemic.
