On the grounds of contemporary understanding of emergency management and basing on the general interdisciplinary approach, the article examines competencies necessary for nowadays emergency managers. In the contemporary changing world, individual, community and the state permanently encounter a variety of threats and possible threats. The states, as the main interested parties, responsible for emergency management on different levels of management, are most interested in qualitative and effective management of such situations on all the levels. Using interdisciplinary approach towards 'extreme situations' management, the authors state that in order to successfully manage the threats and the consequences raised by them, different levels of emergency managers have to be competent and the competency model applied to them must be composed of the main two components: the whole of managerial knowledge and leadership skills. Managerial knowledge should be composed of a wide range of managerial subjects relevant to emergency situations, which would enable to effectively manage the situations in the whole range of possible situation. Emergency leadership skills are important in undefined situations, requiring immediate and adequate decisions. Only the managers possessing such competencies will correspond to contemporary requirements and will be able to manage them properly.
Armament systems such as guns, launchers simulators are effective tools for training armed forces personnel. A firearm is a complex biomechanical system, so the best quality of training is achieved when training in a simulator, repeating the dynamic processes of the weapon by simulating the perception of real weapon use (feeling). The paper investigates the dynamic and stability properties of the short-range air defense system RBS-70. The RBS-70 short-range air defense system is designed to combat low-flying air targets. The purpose of this paper is to present the physical and mathematical models with com numerical dynamic simulation of the launcher in the first phase of missile flight. The theoretical model was formulated in the vertical plane and verified by the numerical modeling simulation.

Civil participation is the main component of effective governance. The topicality of this paper lies in civil participation in decision-making defined by the principles of "new public governance" of the 21st century. This study aims to analyze the impact of civil participation in decision-making on waste management at the municipal level. In this work, the following aspects were considered: theoretical assumptions of civil participation; civil participation in the activities of institutions responsible for environmental protection; issues regarding the development of opportunities of citizens' involvement in municipal waste management. The article is devoted to the theoretical assumptions about civil participation, theoretical model of analysis, and activity of institutions. To develop a theoretical model of analysis, a classification of civil participation was carried out. Among the methods used, one can mention the questionnaire. The analysis was focused on a legal basis for the activity of institutions; the actual activity of institutions and survey of representatives of the national environmental authorities in Lithuania. The results showed that currently there is no mechanism in Lithuania to ensure civil participation in municipal waste management. Civil participation is still formal and limited. Overall, citizens are informed about the decisions made, but they do not participate actively in decision-making. The analysis of civil participation capacity in waste management leads to the conclusion that Lithuania has no single mechanism to ensure civil participation in waste management. To enhance civil participation in decision-making on waste management, it is suggested to set up a council where the representatives of civil population are delegated.
To manage emergencies and disasters most often is used the model composed of four phases: risk mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. During the response phase, an incident management structure (IMS) is developed. It is generally acknowledged that the participation of communities in response actions increases the resources of public authorities and helps eliminate the outcomes of an incident in a more effective manner. Referring to the principles of the Neo-Weberian this article analyses the IMS, communitiesparticipation in the incident management and examines the assumptions of the Lithuanian laws on communities participation in incident management. The results of the research have revealed that community participation in the management of an incident, an emergency or a disaster is not regulated in Lithuania's legislation, for this reason, the conclusion could be drawn that it is difficult to apply advanced IMSs and to find a common solution while manoeuvring between the actions of the hierarchy-based institutions and officials or officers and citizen or their group participation in the management of emergencies, disasters and incidents.

The Asian countries (Sri Lanka, Thailand, Bangladesh) in the ASCENT project have an unequally spread out and restricted RTD ability. An interactive and cooperative university - industry partnership can increase the quality of life and reduce the risk of disaster. Here the fields where universities consider the involvement of industry are recognized (e.g., fundamental and applied research, development, production life cycle and such). There is a recognized need for the private sector to engage the research community in the context of disaster resilience research to tackle disaster risk. The definition of "industry" in this research is deliberately vague to allow exploration of what useful collaborations "industries" can develop with universities for disaster management research (here collaborations mean different life cycle interactions). There is the need for an integrated multiple criteria decision analysis to mitigate the effects of disaster on the built environment at three levels: the micro (research and innovation performance, transfer and absorptive capacity, technology development), meso (institutional arrangements, communication network, local and indigenous rules) and macro (supply and demand, regulations, financing, taxes, culture, traditions, market, climate, political, demographic, technology) levels. Disaster management involves numerous aspects for consideration in addition to making economic, political and legal/regulatory decisions. These must include social, cultural, ethical, psychological, educational, environmental, provisional, technological, technical, organizational and managerial aspects. This research produced a model and a system for integrated analysis of the iterative life cycle of universityindustry partnerships. The model and the system make it possible to perform multi-variant design and multiple criteria assessment of alternative university-industry partnership life cycles, calculate their market and investment value.
