Getting information about the enemy and environment and their transmission in real time support the commander and his decision making process. Intelligence is fundamental to the planning and conduct of operations across the whole spectrum of conflict. Automated intelligence system is a key to achieving a level where the information needs of commanders for which it was established priority will be easier to implement by the intelligence cell. The participation of the Polish Army in coalition operations revealed the need for automation of data about the situation in the area of operation. The paper characterizes the general requirements for information system and presents the flow of information on the example of the Polish Military Contingent in the Republic of Iraq.

Zdobywanie informacji o przeciwniku i terenie prowadzonych działań oraz ich przekazywanie w czasie rzeczywistym, pozwala dowódcy na podejmowanie decyzji i jego proces podejmowania decyzji. Skuteczny system rozpoznania jest warunkiem niezbędnym do planowania i prowadzenia działań na współczesnym polu walki. Automatyzacja systemu rozpoznania jest kluczem do osiągnięcia poziomu, na którym potrzeby informacyjne dowódcy dla których został określony priorytet będą łatwiejsze do realizacji przez komórkę rozpoznania. Udział Wojska Polskiego w operacjach koalicyjnych ukazał potrzebę zapewnienia automatyzacji transmisji danych o sytuacji w obszarze prowadzonych działań. W referacie scharakteryzowano ogólne wymagania dla systemu rozpoznania. na przykładzie misji Polskiego Kontyngentu Wojskowego w Republice Iraku.

The paper presents findings on secular score gains in Raven’s Progressive Matrices during six decades (1948- 2009) in Polish adolescents. Seven groups are being compared, comprising of 20, 490 subjects in total. The representative groups examined in 2000 (N=1,331) and 2009 (N=3,650) are those of special interest as they are the most numerous and allowing formal means comparison using standard test for comparison of means and Welch’s test. Possible causes for the noted effect are being discussed, with special emphasis on the economic growth and its implications - such as improved nutrition, education changes, growth of adolescent’s well-being and child upbringing practices.

The existence of NATO and the Warsaw Pact was the start of intensified competition for spheres of influence. Beneficiaries who were leading those political-military organizations, the United States and the Soviet Union, in the process of implementing their strategic objectives used a wide range of forces and assets owned. Their secret services, whose activities were of total character, took an active part in this rivalry. It is difficult to say what those services were not interested in. They were active participants in the information war, which supported primarily foreign policy and military operations. Their satellite states, which were of interest to intelligence services because of their military potential, were also involved in the ongoing political and ideological confrontation. One such example was Poland, which was recognized not only by the intelligence of the NATO countries (U.S., Canada, Denmark, France, Great Britain, West Germany), but also by intelligence of its allies (the Soviet Union and East Germany).

The data necessary for the empirical research presented it this study were provided by 572 people, from altogether 26 schools. The schools included 18 primary schools, 7 secondary training institutions and 1 primary and secondary school. The major question of the study related to the pedagogues' emotional intelligence, more precisely if the teachers of different institutions showed any individual differences in their emotional intelligence patterns according to the given type of their school's organisational culture. We also examined if the nature of the organizational culture had any influence on the development the individual's emotional intelligence pattern. On the basis of the results we can declare that the teachers of different institutions having their own particular organizational cultures evolve different emotional intelligence patterns. Accordingly, we can come to the conclusion that in the long term the organizational culture affects the evolution of the individual's emotional intelligence pattern and vice versa.

Introduction. The current knowledge of significance of some neurobiological and clinical variables for the development of cognitive deterioration in patients with epilepsy remains sparse and controversial. Aim. The current study has been carried out in order to elucidate the role of handedness in terms of influence on cognitive processing and intelligence in patients with epilepsy. Material and methods. One hundred and thirty two patients (62 males, 70 females, aged 27.8 ± 8.9 years) with epilepsy participated in the study. Patients were divided into two groups. The first group included 112 patients that were characterized by intelligence and cognitive impairment while the second group (20 patients) had no mental deterioration and was regarded as controls. The two diagnostic categories accorded with ICD-10 criteria. The diagnosis of Dementia (F-02.8) was confirmed in 54 patients, while the diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment (F-06.7) was confirmed in 58 patients. Results. Our results show that the level of left-handers among patients with cognitive Impairment achieved 14.2%, whilst in the group without cognitive deterioration there were no left-handers, and this difference was statistically significant (p = 0.051). An analysis of possible influence of motor lateralization on degree of cognitive deterioration, revealed that left-handedness determines the higher degrees of intelligence deterioration compared with right-handedness (χ2 = 6.64; p < 0,05). These data were confirmed by use of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) and the Mini Mental State Examination (MMSE) tests, and all left-handed epilepsy patients achieved lower scores on MMSE, total WAIS, as well as verbal and nonverbal WAIS scores. Conclusion. Our data confirm a role of some neurobiological variables, with emphasis on cerebral motor lateralization, in their influence upon intelligence level and cognitive deterioration in epilepsy. These data may be used for predictive purposes of intelligence assessment in patients with epilepsy.

While collection is fundamental to intelligence process and intelligence work as such, opinions differ regarding the importance of the various methods. Obviously, each collection discipline can be operating simultaneously. While collectors collect “raw” information, certain disciplines involve a sort of preliminary analysis in order to make information readable to all-source analyst. Once collection activity has been completed its results is dispatched by appropriate means to the analysis divisions. The main effort of collating, integrating and creating goes on in pursuit of the ultimate goal: a complete, accurate, insightful, useful and timely product for the consumer (requester). Thus, the process of analyzing the available information to make judgment about capabilities, intentions and actions of another party is a vital part of the intelligence process. Physical production of intelligence is also a key component in the intelligence process and cycle. This aspect is becoming increasingly complex. With the overall technology explosion in modern society, intelligence products can be presented in a vast array of formats. The final step in the intelligence cycle is dissemination. If the product is really to be useful for policy makers and commanders, it involves feedback.

Nowadays, the vast majority of the threats to our security come from cyberspace, resulting in a significant transformation of national security systems. Behind these changes, we can find some organisational and capability responses to technological developments, seeing that the function of national security is inseparable from the social environment and its processes. The study examines certain impacts of cyberspace on national security as a system, addressing some features of the changing external environment. The topic is related to the research on the relationship between the information society and security in the 21st century. Therefore, the study explores some processes visible at the international level and reviews some external environment trends in connection with national security. The changes affect the future of national security thinking and the development of principles and methods. It is the task of national security services operating under strict legislation to respond effectively to various threats in a changing environment. All this is only possible through the continuous monitoring of changes in the environment and long-term strategic thinking.

This article addresses the issue of racial and ethnic differences in intelligence studies. Some researchers have claimed to use national IQs in studies of evolutionary theories of racial differences in intelligence. However, due to the Flynn Effect and some methodological questions, national IQs cannot be viewed solely in evolutionary and socio-economic development terms and can be considered in light of intercultural differences as well. Moreover, the meaning of race in intelligence studies is vaguely defined. It leads to considerable controversies surrounding the public understanding of race (for instance, stereotyping threat). It also creates suspicions as to the use of group differences in IQ tests to explain racial and ethnic differences in achievements.

Starting from the assumption that working memory capacity is an important predictor of general fluid intelligence, we asked which aspects of working memory account for this relationship. Two theoretical stances are discussed. The first one posits that the important explanatory factor is storage capacity, roughly defined as the number of chunks possible to hold in the focus of attention. The second one claims that intelligence is explained by the efficiency of executive control, for instance, by prepotent response inhibition. We investigated 96 children at the age between 10 and 13. They completed a version of the n-back task that allows assessment of both storage capacity and inhibitory control. They also completed Raven’s Progressive Matrices as the fluid intelligence test and the Test for Creative Thinking - Drawing Production, for control purposes. We found that Raven’s scores correlated negatively with the number of unnecessary responses to irrelevant stimuli but they did not correlate with the number of signal detections. We conclude that children’s fluid intelligence depends on inhibitory control, with no relationship with storage capacity.

From Plato onwards, notions of intelligence and ability – and of their implications for human flourishing – have had a chequered educational history. Following some attention to the influence of IQ theory on (arguably neo-Platonic) post-WW2 British selective state education, this paper proceeds to consider the more egalitarian educational reaction to such selection from the nineteen-sixties onwards. However, while appreciative of the individual and social benefits of such greater educational equality, the paper proceeds to ask whether the notions of individual growth, fulfilment and flourishing that they may seem to entail are entirely appropriate for the human world of tomorrow

This paper introduces a simple mathematical algorithm for identifying the nodes that will most likely act as re-coagulants once the ‘key-players’ are removed. By comparing the difference between in-degree and out-degree centrality scores (assuming that the relational data are directed) and comparing that value with the overall degree score, one can infer where a node sits on the ‘sink-source’ continuum. Furthermore, assuming that the nodes will not change their behavior patterns as a result of the prior ‘intervention’, this algorithm could indicate whether the nodes will act as relational ‘magnets’ (will attract new ties) or as ‘leeches’ (will seek to attach themselves to other nodes).

Specific collective behavior forms (for example, mass protests) emerge only if certain conditions are met simultaneously: good structural conduciveness of the group, a pre-existing structural strain, a formed generalized belief, the appearance of precipitating factors, a grass-roots or top-down mobilization for the action and the already-formed perception that the social control instruments are no longer in the authorities’ hands. Mass protests seem to follow this ‘perfect-storm’ recipe, from Tunis’ violent protests that kick-started the ‘Arab Spring’ to the late 2011 riots in London. This paper presents and discusses how structural conduciveness could be measured using network metrics such as k-cores, clustering, cliqueness, reciprocity, cohesion, homophily, structural holes, triad closure.

The aim of the study was to compare the performance of bilingual individuals in testing attention, memory and intelligence using their first (L1) and second (L2) languages. These abilities were selected by us based on the fact that they are the diagnostic criteria of many diagnostic units, e.g. ADHD, ADD etc., so if they are not correctly determined, there is a chance of issuing inadequate psychological report. The issue of psychological testing of bilingual individuals is also topical problem in other European countries, such as the Czech Republic, Romania, Serbia, Croatia etc., where there is also a large percentage of ethnic minorities, but also countries outside of Europe, such as the USA are no exception. Our intention was to test the implicit assumption that the performance of bilingual individuals deteriorates during psychodiagnostic testing, if the test is not performed in their first language. The sample consisted of 126 bilingual respondents with an average age of 17.87 (SD = 7.77), of which 66 were female and 60 male. The sample was divided into four age related groups - young school age children, preadolescent, adolescencents and adults. The selected cognitive abilities were measured by using Slovak and Hungarian language forms of the following psychological tests: Number Square, Learning Memory Test; Wechsler Intelligence Test for Adults (WAIS-R) and Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC III). The results indicate a deterioration of performance at psychodiagnostic test of attention, memory and intelligence using L2 of bilinguals regardless of their age. The conclusion of the study shows the importance of choosing appropriate language for psychological testing for bilingual clients in order to eliminate adverse conditions compared to monolingual clients.

While a substantial body of empirical evidence has been accrued about the role of individual differences in second language acquisition, relatively little is still known about how factors of this kind can mediate the effects of instructional practices as well as how empirically-derived insights can inform foreign language pedagogy, both with respect to shaping certain variables and adjusting instruction to individual learner profiles. The present paper is an attempt to shed light on the interface between research on individual difference factors and teaching practice, focusing upon variables which do not easily lend themselves to external manipulation, namely intelligence, foreign language aptitude, working memory and personality, with the role of the last of these in language learning being admittedly the least obvious. In each case, the main research findings will briefly be outlined, their potential for informing instruction will be considered, and, in the final part, the caveats concerning practical applications of research on the variables in question will be spelled out.

Musical education has a beneficial effect on higher cognitive functions, but questions arise whether associations between music lessons and cognitive abilities are specific to a domain or general. We tested 194 boys in Grade 3 by measuring reading and spelling performance, non verbal intelligence and asked parents about musical activities since preschool. Questionnaire data showed that 53% of the boys had learned to play a musical instrument. Intelligence was higher for boys playing an instrument (p< .001). To control for unspecific effects we excluded families without instruments. The effect on intelligence remained (p< .05). Furthermore, boys playing an instrument showed better performance in spelling compared to the boys who were not playing, despite family members with instruments (p< .01). This effect was observed independently of IQ. Our findings suggest an association between music education and general cognitive ability as well as a specific language link.

The article discusses some of the theses presented in Rosyjski sztylet. Działalność wywiadu nielegalnego by Col. Andrzej Kowalski. The former director of the Polish Military Counterintelligence Service presents the most important aspects of the illegal intelligence of the former USSR. On that foundation, he analyzes media and news about the contemporary intelligence activities of the Russian Federation. He concludes that the use of illegal intelligence is still an important element of the Russian strategy and poses an underappreciated threat to the West. The book is not free of mistakes, namely that some statements cannot be confirmed by the sources. Nevertheless, it is a valuable research perspective; it’s greatest value being the practical knowledge and experience of the author.

This article focuses on the relationship between young adults’ cognitive abilities and individual partner preferences. We worked with the Preference NSZ 2017 data set, which contains data on partner preferences and the results of the National Comparative Secondary-School Exams of Czech high school graduates, and our analyses, using logistic regression, confirmed a tendency towards homophily on the level of cognitive abilities and university education. Young people with above-average results place more importance on agreement in political opinions, but do not regard the partner’s homemaking abilities or financial situation as too important. The results further show that partner preferences differ according to the education capital of the background family and according to preferred partnership arrangement. We also find significant differences in the partner preferences of men and women that reflect ideas about traditional gender roles. Women favour characteristics that relate to status, and men assign more importance to physical looks.
