Smart Power Versus Asymmetry of Using Military Force

Lean mass asymmetry influences force and power asymmetry during jumping in collegiate athletes.

The purpose of this investigation was to (a) examine how asymmetry in lower extremity lean mass influenced force and power asymmetry during jumping, (b) determine how power and force asymmetry affected jump height, and (c) report normative values in collegiate athletes. Force and power were assessed from each limb using bilateral force plates during a countermovement jump in 167 division 1 athl...

Motivation, affect, and hemispheric asymmetry: power versus affiliation.

In 4 experiments, the authors examined to what extent information related to different social needs (i.e., power vs. affiliation) is associated with hemispheric laterality. Response latencies to a lateralized dot-probe task following lateralized pictures or verbal labels that were associated with positive or negative episodes related to power, affiliation, or achievement revealed clear-cut late...

Problems of Estimating Military Power

smart power and sustainable security

this paper argues for a broader emphasis on sustainable security and smart power, for examining both opportunities as well as threats to security. sustainable security is a new concept in the security studies. deep attention to all possible threats against human life is necessary for continuation of security in a sustainable and dynamic base. this aim can be achieved in a highest level by mergi...
