This study analyzes the effectiveness of the U.S. military attaché corps in Latin America from the end of World War II to the Johnson administration.

Although historiography often attributes the German military leadership a high responsibility for the outbreak of the First World War, the action of the German military attaché in Paris, Detlof von Winterfeldt, has so far been ignored. This article shows how Winterfeldt assessed the strengths and weaknesses of the French army and describes how his reporting influenced the General Staff's evaluations in Berlin. It examines the concrete effects of his reporting on German military policies and military planning before 1914 to ascertain whether the General Staff relied on Winterfeldt's reports and if so, what difference they made.

Le dysraphisme spinal (ou spina bifida) est une pathologie neurologique qui représente la première cause de handicap urologique congénital. Il peut avoir des expressions cliniques très variables, les troubles vésico-sphinctériens et sexuels sont fréquents et rarement isolés, noyés au sein des troubles moteurs, orthopédiques, sensitifs, digestifs voir cognitifs. Le syndrome de la moelle bas attachée est une complication du dysraphisme spinal. Affection est souvent découverte chez l´enfant, peut être asymptomatique et rencontrée chez l´adulte. Les troubles vésico-sphinctériens constituent la principale cause de morbi-mortalité par les complications uro-nephrologiques qu´ils entrainent avec une altération significative de la qualité de vie de ces patients. Justifiant ainsi une prise en charge spécifique et multidisciplinaire et un suivi strict. Nous présentons un cas exceptionnel de dysraphisme spinale type syndrome de la moelle bas attachée de découverte fortuite à l´âge adulte à l´occasion du bilan étiologique de lithiases de l´urètre prostatique associé à une anéjaculation.

This article examines the reporting record of the German military attaché in Vienna from 1906 to the outbreak of the First World War. The reporting provided Berlin with a steady flow of information on the weaknesses of Austria-Hungary's armed forces. These weaknesses stemmed from the character and structure of the Dual Monarchy, and were responsible for its chronically debilitated combat-effectiveness. The reporting contradicts claims of contemporary German memoirists, and the belief of historians since the war, that neither Austria's military weaknesses nor their underlying causes were known at the highest levels of the German military prior to the war.

In the wake of the ever-changing industry demands, many Zimbabwean professionals have turned to universities to further their education as conventional or block-release students. Notably, most block-release students spend their work-related learning year in their usual workplaces, usually excelling in their continuous assessments. Surprisingly, this trend is observable even amongst students who will not have performed so well in their taught modules. This has prompted the researchers to explore the myth behind the work-related learning assessment of students attached at their regular workplaces. The study took a quantitative approach with a sample of 121 BOAT students participating. The study found that there was no clear separation of duties done by full-time employees attached at their workplaces from attachés duties and that there was limited collaborative effort between academics and industrial supervisors to synchronise the objective measurement of the attachee‘s performance. Researchers recommended a clear separation of duties done by full-time employees attached at their workplaces from attachees‘ duties in order to ensure effective assessment. Serious and or practical collaborative effort by both the academic and the industrial supervisors to synchronise their assessments to objectively measure the attachee‘s performance was also recommended.
