Although innovation is widely discussed in both military and industry venues, many organizations continue to struggle with what it means to be creative as well as maintain a competitive advantage. The United States Air Force has specifically struggled with the balance between improving existing technologies and employing revolutionary technologies. The purpose of this thesis was to study the motivation, focus, barriers, and culture needed to foster disruptive innovation in Air Force Science and Technology (S&T) and to investigate how industry innovation strategies could improve breakthrough Air Force technology emergence. The Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL), the primary organization responsible for planning and executing all aspects of the Air Force science and technology program, is the ideal study subject to represent the Air Force S&T community at large. Two previous industry research studies, now replicated in an AFRL organizational environment, provided quantitative and qualitative comparisons between the industry and Air Force S&T communities. The study results showed that Air Force S&T is capable of regaining its prominence as a leader in disruptive technological innovation by applying a basic improvement model, capturing the relevant best practices of industry, and exploiting the positive attributes of the military domain.

Objective: To evaluate the service offered to the elderly in primary care from the perspective of social
representations. Methods: Exploratory study conducted in a qualitative approach with seventy elderly treated in the
Family Health Strategy (FHS) Rangel II, in João Pessoa, Paraíba, Brazil. Data were collected from a semi-structured
interview. The data obtained were analyzed with the help of software Alceste and interpreted in theoretical social
representations. Results: The results indicate two classes or categories: a) dimensions socio-affective represented: bad
service, slow and white hair; b) experiences with the service: accept, good, doctor, medical service, well, aging,
experience and little. Conclusion: the elderly evaluate the service with negative content emphasized in the speeches:
failure to care of real needs of the elderly, the elderly distance service; little user interaction with the service and not
use the strategy of reception. The latter is now one of the most important tools to be used in Family Health Strategies.

An examination of the idea of soc development. This idea has recently become very popular among sociol'ts, as indicated by the growing N of articles, books, seminars & conferences devoted to it. Underlying most of this sociol' al effort is the presumption that 'soc development' represents a delimitable field of soc happening with some kind of common or generic character that sets it apart from other areas of soc happening. It is believed that diligent sociol'al study will fuse into a body of sci' fic knowledge of 'soc development. ' These assumptions are critically reviewed. It is shown that sociol'ts are astonishingly vague & confused as to what they mean by soc development, & legitimate doubts are raised as to whether their current treatment of the topic could possibly refer to any generic form of soc happening.

Social media makes it easy for a group to exchange information and influence each other. Today, most Indonesians are familiar with social media and have social media accounts. Participating candidates in the 2019 General Election did not just ignore this, they used social media as a means to campaign. The candidates introduce their programs and try to get the sympathy of potential voters without having to go outside. It is more efficient in terms of time and cost. But apart from having a positive side, social media also has negative impacts such as the rise of hoaxes, post-truth and black campaigns. This study aims to examine the phenomenon of the widespread use of social media as a political campaign strategy by building a sense of sympathy and voter emotions rather than rationality. The author uses data collection methods with literature study, and the method used for this study is literature study.

State policy towards asocial conduct, including breach of law and crime, had been evolving through Soviet history. Until the mid-1950s, the main vector was repressive, with the isolation of people from the society. Repressive practices, including a harsh penal code, sometimes served as a reaction to a real aggravation of the crime situation, for instance, after World War Two. However, more often the authorities and law enforcement institutions acted out of inertia, lacking experience of other methods and believing in the preventive effect of harsh measures. Against this background, the experiments of the early "Thaw" are especially interesting: the creation of new norms and practices of social control corresponded to the changing format of relations between the state and society, on the one hand, and the marginal groups, on the other. The turn in criminal policy took place after 1953 despite the spike of criminal activities. Considerable part of cases became depoliticized; emphasis shifted to the analysis of social causes of crime; the policy of isolating socially marginal groups gave way to attempts to incorporate them into "main" society. New trends required corresponding normative base, which was actively developed in that period (the work on new penal codes). This article considers the problem of criminality in the context of changing norms and practices of social control during the Thaw. This study is methodologically synthetic; it allows to combine the historiographical tradition of research of crime in the USSR and the analysis of crime in contemporary criminology, deviantology, and sociology.
