“…Institutionally favorable environment that forces military transition towards the pro-environmental energy behavior is reflected as a collective action. So far, many studies focused on technical solutions for reducing energy usage [33,39,40] and enabling decision makers [5,14,41] and individual soldiers [10,24] to save energy. It appears that this research for the first-time underlines collectivity and connects individual and collective pro-environmental energy behavior into one measurable construct.…”

The purpose of this study is to explore how pro-environmental energy behavior is manifested at a military unit and what behavioral change factors can enhance such behavior. The military unit represents an organization dominated by an exceptionally strong sense of community and belonging where individual pro-environmental energy behavior goes in line with a collective one. The application of Capability-Opportunity-Motivation-Behavior (COM-B) approach led to a better understanding of energy-saving behavior in the military as an organization where personnel are trained to increase their awareness of their peers’ behavior. Methods: The results were obtained using data collected from two independent samples of both professional soldiers and conscripts at a military unit of Lithuanian defense forces located in a fixed installation in the time frame of 2018–2019. The total sample of respondents (professional soldiers and conscripts) was N = 454. A series of statistical tests were performed at the 0.05 level of confidence. Results: An extended COM-B model for the analysis of pro-environmental energy behavior in the military was proposed and applied. The results show that the three behavioral change factors—capability, opportunity, and motivation—are first of all positively linked with the collective energy behavior at the military unit and only then with the individual soldier’s pro-environmental energy behavior. This is a new insight into the COM-B model as collective and individual behavior are identified as separate indicators and then combined into a single measurable construct. In addition, the results indicate that in the military unit, communality plays an important role in sustaining pro-environmental energy behavior, even if an individual behavior indicates low-involvement.

THE PURPOSE. To consider the technologies for the manufacture of permanent magnets and their areas of application. To identify global trends in the change in demand for rare earth metals. To study the prospects for the development of additive production of polymer magnetic materials. METHODS. When studying this issue, an analysis of a wide range of domestic and foreign sources of scientific literature was used. RESULTS. Prospective technologies for the additive production of polymer magnetic materials for a variety of applications have been studied. The need to establish a relationship between the properties of the starting material, the diameters of the extrusion nozzles, the printing parameters, as well as the mechanical and functional properties of the resulting magnets is indicated. CONCLUSION. This article provides a comprehensive overview of recent advances in the application of additive manufacturing, topology optimization and their integration for electrical machines and their magnetic components. Additive manufacturing technologies such as 3D printing, BAAM - the technology has potential advantages such as lower production costs, elimination of the need to make molds, the ability to create permanent magnets with field profiles and magnetic properties that cannot be obtained using modern methods. The considered technologies can be used as a tool in the design and development of innovative magnets for electric motors, which will make the most of the magnetic flux and thereby increase the energy efficiency of drive systems. This will allow rapid prototyping of parts and reduce the time to market for new products.
