Álcool e tabaco nos militares em Forças Nacionais Destacadas

RESUMO - Introdução: Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde, a evolução verificada nos últimos anos no consumo de álcool e tabaco e outras substâncias psicoactivas está a aumentar rapidamente e a contribuir de maneira importante para a carga das doenças em todo o mundo. A nível militar e nos elementos destacados para as missões de apoio à paz, é pertinente conhecer e caracterizar os padrões de consumo de álcool e tabaco a que estão sujeitos nestes contextos específicos de modo a compreender esta realidade e a sua importância e a poder intervir face às suas consequências. De ainda referir que existe escassez de estudos nesta área em Portugal. Objectivo: O objectivo deste estudo consiste em caracterizar os padrões de consumo de álcool e de tabaco dos militares das Forças Nacionais Destacadas, em missão de apoio à paz, no pré-deslocamento ainda em Portugal, no deslocamento em Teatro de Operações e no pós-deslocamento em território nacional. Metodologia: Apresenta-se o delineamento do estudo e o tipo de estudo que é longitudinal e analítico, a metodologia utilizada, bem como, as hipóteses colocadas, consolidadas na revisão de literatura efectuada previamente; faz-se a caracterização das variáveis sócio demográficas e instrumentais utilizadas. São definidos os critérios de inclusão e exclusão assim como aspectos éticos necessários. Definem-se ainda os testes estatísticos considerados apropriados para este tipo de estudo. Simulação de resultados, discussão e conclusões: Faz-se uma simulação do modo de apresentação dos resultados de acordo com os objectivos e hipóteses traçados tendo em conta a aplicação estatística considerada mais conveniente. Quanto ao ponto de discussão e conclusões dever-se-á após a realização do estudo comparar os resultados obtidos com os resultados de outros estudos análogos e no mesmo âmbito e tecer algumas considerações pertinentes sobre os mesmos. Assim seria importante sugerir novas orientações para outros estudos tendo em conta os resultados mais significativos que possam ser apurados e ainda ser reflectido e até apontado algumas respostas em termos de intervenção neste contexto.

Siirtomaasodasta sisäisen turvallisuuden operaatioon : Sir Robert Thompsonin periaatteet Britannian operaatioissa Malaijilla ja Pohjois-Irlannissa

Sir Robert Thompson määritti vuonna 1966 julkaistussa kirjassaan Defeating Communist Insurgency viisi vastakumoukselliselle sodankäynnille keskeistä periaatetta, jotka ovat: - Hallituksella tulee olla selkeä poliittinen tavoite. - Hallituksen täytyy toimia lainmukaisesti. - Hallituksella pitää olla kaikille toimijoilleen yhteinen yleissuunnitelma ja suunnittelu. - Hallituksen tulee asettaa painopiste poliittisen kumouksellisuuden, ei sissien voittamiseen. - Kumouksellisen sodan ollessa sissisodan vaiheessa, hallituksen tulee turvata ensimmäisenä omat tukialueensa Thompsonin periaatteet pohjautuvat hänen kokemuksiinsa Malaijin kriisin aikana 1948 – 60 ja ne siirtyivät osaksi ensimmäisiä brittiläisiä vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin ohjesääntöjä, jotka julkaistiin vuonna 1969. Samana vuonna alkoi Pohjois-Irlannin konflikti (1969 – 98). Tutkimuksen tavoitteena on selvittää miten Thompsonin periaatteita toteutettiin ne pääosin synnyttäneessä Malaijin kriisissä ja Pohjois-Irlannin konfliktissa. Tutkimuskysymyksiä ovat: Mitä Thompsonin periaatteet tarkoittavat ja miten ne ovat ilmenneet brittiläisessä ohjesääntökirjallisuudessa? Mikä periaatteiden toteutuksessa yhdisti Malaijin ja Pohjois-Irlannin konflikteja? Mitä eroja periaatteiden toteuttamisessa oli konfliktien välillä? Mitkä tekijät aiheuttivat keskeiset erot periaatteiden toteuttamisessa konfliktien välillä?Tutkimuksen käytetty lähdemateriaali koostuu täysin laadullisesta aineistosta. Tutkimusmenetelmänä on käytetty laadullista, teorialähtöistä sisällönanalyysiä Eri lähteitä vertailemalla tehtyä analyysiä on ohjannut Thompsonin määrittämien periaatteiden kehys. Malaijin ja Pohjois-Irlannin konflikteista saatua analysoitua tietoa on verrattu keskenään käyttäen teoriakehystä, ja näin on pyritty löytämään yhtäläisyyksiä ja eroja Thompsonin periaatteiden toteuttamisessa konfliktien välillä. Tutkimuksen kannalta keskeisiä lähdeteoksia ovat: Sir Robert Thompson: Defeating Communist Insurgency, David McKittrick ja David McVea: Making Sense of the Troubles, Magne Haugseng: The Tightening Grip: Northern Ireland – The Military and 35 Years of Terror. Tutkimuksen kannalta keskeisiä lähdeasiakirjoja ovat Britannian asevoimien Pohjois-Irlannin konfliktista kirjoittama tutkimusraportti Operation Banner - An Analysis of Military Operations in Northern Ireland ja Riley Sunderlandin RAND-tutkimuslaitokselle vuonna 1964 laatimat Malaiji-raportit. Keskeisin ohjesääntölähde oli Britannian asevoimien vuosina 1969 – 70 julkaisema kolmiosainen vastakumouksellisen sodankäynnin ohjesääntö Land Operations Volume III Counter Revolutionary Operations. Tutkimuksessa havaittiin, että Britannian hallituksella oli molemmissa operaatioissa selkeät tavoitteet. Molemmissa operaatioissa hätätilavaltuudet laadittiin mahdollistamaan asevoimille ja poliisille laajat toimivaltuudet. Tästä huolimatta molemmissa operaatioissa tapahtui turvallisuusjoukkojen väärinkäytöksiä. Pohjois-Irlannin väärinkäytöksiä on tuotu selkeämmin esille PIRA:n propagandan ja tiedotusvälineiden läsnäolon takia. Kummassakaan operaatiossa ei ole ollut yhtä selkeää suunnitelmaa, vaan sarja erilaisia suunnitelmia. Malaijilla kaikkien toimijoiden yhteinen suunnittelu toimi koska sitä varten luotiin organisaatiorakenne. Pohjois-Irlannissa yhteisen suunnittelun periaatetta ei toteutettu poliitikkojen haluttomuuden takia. Sekä Malaijilla että Pohjois-Irlannissa toiminnan kohdentaminen kumouksellisuuteen toteutettiin häiritsemällä kumouksellisen vastustajan huoltoa. Malaijilla kumouksellisuuden oikeutusta heikennettiin myös muilla keinoilla kuten yhteiskunnallisia oloja kehittämällä sekä käynnistämällä Malaijin itsenäistymiskehitys. Kummassakaan operaatiossa hallituksen tukialueet eivät olleet vakavasti uhattuna. Keskeinen erottava tekijä operaatioiden välillä johtui tapahtumapaikasta ja – ajasta. Vastustajana PIRA oli kehittyneempi ja se kykeni muuttamaan toimintaansa vastaamaan muutoksia turvallisuusjoukkojen toiminnassa.
