Cadres are the root of all jobs In order to promote the role of cadres and civil servants in the Party's revolutionary career in the new situation, our Party determines: “To build a contingent of qualified cadres, civil servants and officials with good virtue, political stuff, ability, high professionalism, dedication to serve the people" In order to build a contingent of cadres, civil servants with sufficient qualifications and professional ability to meet requirements and tasks, it is necessary to well organize and implement the steps and stages in the cadre work process In particular, one of the especially important issues to be implemented is the proactive prevention and combat against the manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation"; prevention and combat against the degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle among cadres, especially the cadres and civil servants in the current grassroots public administration apparatus The commune-level cadres and civil servants are those who hold management and leadership positions in the agencies of the Party, the State, socio-political organizations in the political system in communes, wards, towns and equivalent units This is a force that plays a key role in the process of leadership and direction for implementation of resolutions and guidelines of the Party, the provincial Party Committee, districts, towns and legislation policies of the State at the grassroots level In order for the contingent of the commune-level cadres and civil servants to successfully complete the assigned tasks, in parallel with the development of this contingent in quantity, special attention must be paid to enhancing their political and ethical qualities in which the most important task is to prevent and combat against the manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation"; prevent and combat the degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle in this contingent In recent years, Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee and its subordinate districts have attached great importance to the prevention and combat against the manifestations of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants, identification of guidelines, solutions and direction of implementation organization to achieve the initial results Therefore, the great majority of the communelevel cadres and civil servants have a strong political stance, moral qualities, clean and healthy lifestyles, especially, many commune-level cadres and civil servants are good examples of morality and lifestyle in the contingent of cadres and civil servants and people in the communes to learn and follow, well fulfill the assigned duties and tasks However, in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants in Ho Chi Minh City, there is still a significant quantity of members with manifestations of degradation in political ideology, ethnics, lifestyle, and "self-evolution", "self-transformation" in awareness and action Such cadres and civil servants were detected and handled in previous years, especially through the process of reviewing the implementation of the Resolution of the 4th Central Conference of the XII term "On strengthening the construction and re-organization of the Party; prevention and combat against the degradation in political ideology, ethnics, lifestyle, the manifestations of internal "selfevolution", "self-transformation"” In addition to the cadres and civil servants detected and handled by the levels, one part of the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants still has manifestations such as: fading the revolutionary ideal; having no absolute trust in the success of innovation and socialism; doubts about the correctness of Marxism - Leninism; not affirming the pioneering and exemplary role in study and work; no consistence between talk and action; supply of misleading and distorted information about foreign policies and lines of the Party and the State; onesided information about the international situation, leading to disadvantages in relations between Vietnam and other countries; advocating views on extreme democracy, etc Furthermore, there are manifestations of degradation in ethnics and lifestyle such as: Self-indulgence; waste and depravation; sexual liaison; improper attitude to the people, authoritarianism, arrogance, etc One of basic causes is that the leadership of the Party Committees at all levels of Ho Chi Minh City Party Committee, directly the district Party Committee, the commune Party Committee in the prevention and combat against the manifestations of "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants still have weaknesses and shortcomings; specifically, there are no clear determination of leadership contents; no strong policies and solutions, no focus on drastic direction; no close and regular coordination between the committees at all levels and organizations in the political system and relevant authorities; There is no strong promotion in the role of the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and people in this work, etc It is really essential and urgent to study on solutions for overcoming the abovementioned weaknesses, and prevent and combat against self-evolution”, “selftransformation” in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants in Ho Chi Minh City, thereby, contributing to improving the quality of this contingent, successfully implementing the assigned tasks In order to contribute to solving the above current situation, the PhD student chooses and implements the doctoral thesis topic: “Prevention

phenomenon of defaming and distorting information about leaders of the Party and the State; talk, writing and action against views, guidelines and policies of the Party, policies and laws of the State in commune-level cadres and civil servants The localities organized many extensive propaganda campaigns throughout the district to strengthen political, ideological and legal education for commune-level cadres and civil servants for raising their awareness of "self-resistance" and "self-protection", compliance with the State's guidelines, policies and laws * The inspection, supervision and implementation of prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" were implemented in a serious and effective manner Many District Party Committees got a deep awareness of direct implementation of the task of inspection and supervision of the contingent of cadres and civil servants at all levels, including the commune level and developed specific plans and programs for implementation In particular, the District Committees gave the top priority to the task of inspection and supervision of political ideology, morality, lifestyle of cadres and civil servants who hold leadership and management positions This significantly contributed to the prevention and combat against "self-evolution", "self-transformation" among cadres and civil servants in general, and the prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants in particular * Attaching great importance to the preliminary sum-up, sum-up of the experiences in prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants The Party committees at all levels paid special attention the preliminary sum-up, sum-up of the experiences in prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants, thereby, effectively grasping and handling the development of thought and social opinion in the area; paid attention to solutions for prevention and combat against the schemes and activities of “peaceful evolution”, manifestations of "self-evolution", "self-transformation", etc, significantly contributing to maintaining political stability, economic, cultural and socil development and building the clean and strong Party and political system, consolidating and increasing trust in the national and municipal development 3.2.2 Limitations * Awareness and responsibility of one part of cadres and civil servants, agencies and organizations for the prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among cadres and civil servants are sometimes insufficient and ineffective: Some Party Committees, cadres, civil servants and heads of party organizations and agencies, socio-political organizations in some communes and districts have limited awareness and their roles and responsibilities have not been fully promoted They have no close and consistent co-ordination in the struggle 16 against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants Some agencies, socio-political organizations, the Fatherland Front in some districts and communes have not really focused on fostering the awareness and methods of prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and " self-transformation” in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants * Leadership and direction of the Party Committees and local authorities at all levels on prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants are sometime unspecific and close, specifically: The quality of some contents in the resolutions and major directions of some district committees and many communal party committees in prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants is low The implementation of Resolutions and Conclusions of the Central Executive Committee, the Politburo, the Secretariat, the Guidelines of the Municipal Party Committee and higher levels, on prevention and combat against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants in some communes is still formalistic, etc * The quality of propaganda and education on prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants are not high: Firstly, in some localities, the Standing Committee of the district Party Committee sometimes does not pay attention to regularly directing and inspecting the ideological work, propaganda, persuasion, mobilizing cadres, civil servants and Party members and people to implement the resolutions of the municipal party committee, district party committee and party committee on prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants The quality of dissemination and grasp of resolutions and directives of the Party and committees at all levels has not been high The training and fostering of political theory for cadres, civil servants and party members have not met the current requirements There are still many limitations in combining theory with practice in educational contents, etc Secondly, promoting the role of organization and cadres in prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants in some places has not been implemetned in a timely and effective manner The District Party directs the district people’s committees to specify the resolutions of the Party, Municipal Party, Municipal Party Committee and the District Party Committee still have limitations and weaknesses The leadership and direction of the districts' committees in the planning of cadres, especially the contingent of cadres and cadres who hold the leadership and management positions in communes have not clearly expressed the foresight, especially political ideology, ethnics and lifestyle, etc Thirdly, the promotion of the role of party organizations, cadres, civil servants and party members in agencies, units and organizations in the commue-level political system is still limited The promotion of the role of the Fatherland Front and sociopolitical organizations and the people in the prevention and combat against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants has not been paid due attention and strongly implemented 17 Fourthly, the struggle and prevention against the manifestations of "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants have not been still effective and drastic Thorough grasp and organization of the training of new contents on Marxism - Leninism, Ho Chi Minh Thought, the lines and views of the Party, policies and laws of the State to the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants have been irregular and poor in contents Detection and prevention of the phenomenon of talk, writing and action against the Party's views, guidelines and policies and laws of the State; providing misleading information, distorting the Party's foreign policies and policies among commune-level cadres and civil servants are still confusing and formalistic * The inspection, supervision and implementation of prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants are also formalistic, with regard and avoidance The inspection and handling of commune-level cadres and civil servants with violations are generally irregular and timely, as a result, the violations are prolonged, leading to serious consequences The popular situation is that the supervision of cadres and civil servants as key leaders and managers in communes in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle are not implemented in an irregular, continuous and timely manner *The preliminary sum-up and sum-up and drawing experiences in prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" have not been paid due attention The degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle in one part of cadres and party members negatively affected the people's trust in the Party committee and the authority; The impact of globalization, international integration and negative side of market economy has led to many negative consequences Pragmatic lifestyle and unhealthy exotic culture fades the value of the nation's cultural traditions; the types of harmful non-cultural products that cause social morality destruction have increasing invaded the life, however, the solutions to overcome and prevent them have not been highly effective 3.3 Causes and issues raised in the prevention and combat against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" of the commune-level cadres and civil servants in Ho Chi Minh City today 3.3.1 Causes 3.3.1.1 Causes of the strengths Firstly, the Party committees at all levels in Ho Chi Minh City's Party Committee, directly district party committees, commune party committees issued directives, resolutions, instructions on cadres, cadre work and direct the strict implementation of prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" with a strong determination Secondly, some Party committees and party organizations, especially the the district party committees and the commune party committees, clearly defined their responsibilities for prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants Thirdly, the majority of cadres, civil servants and party members actively participated in prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among cadres, civil servants in general and commune-level cadres and civil servants in particular Fourthly, the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and a large 18 number of people in the districts actively and responsibly participated in prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants Fifthly, many members at the party organizations in the commune-level agencies and mass organizations are examples of political, ethical qualities and lifestyle for the commune-level cadres and civil servants today 3.3.1.2 Causes of the shortcomings Firstly, many Party Committees under the District Party Committees have not paid adequate attention to the education of political ideology, ethnics and lifestyle for commune-level cadres and civil servants and thorough observance of resolutions and directives of the Party, State and Party Committee on prevention of degradation Seondly, the cadre work still has shortcomings and confusion, especially planning, evaluating the commune-level cadres and civil servants in terms of political ideology, ethnics and lifestyle Thirdly, a number of cadres and civil servants as leaders and managers at district and commune levels not regularly self-study and self-improve political ideology, ethics and lifestyle Fourthly, some party committees have not really attached much importance to and promoted the role of the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and people in the prevention and combat against "self-evolvution" and " self-transformation ”, especially the degradation in political ideology, ethnics and lifestyle among communelevel cadres and civil servants Fifthly, the negative impacts of market mechanism, openness, international integration, the sabotage of hostile forces affect the prevention and struggle against "selfevolution" ", "self-transformation ", especially the degradation in political ideology, ethnics and lifestyle among commune-level cadres and civil servants 3.3.2 Problems in prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants Firstly, the awareness of some party committees, authorities and civil servants has not kept up with the requirement to further improve the effeciency of prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" of commune-level cadres and civil servants Secondly, the contents and methods of prevention and combat against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants are not in line with the complex nature in Ho Chi Minh City Thirdly, the qualification and capacity of the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants have not been good enough to be immune to "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" Fourthly, the negative impacts of market mechanism, globalization, international integration and the sabotage of hostile forces in the City against the bravery of commune-level cadres and civil servants are increasingly stronger Summary of chapter Over the past years, executive committee at all levels from the Municipal Party Committee to the Party Committee of communes of Ho Chi Minh City have always attached great importance to the leadership in preventing and repelling the 19 deterioration of political ideology, morality, lifestyle and manifestations of "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" among the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants and achieved initial results However, the leadership of the executive committees at all levels towards preventing and repelling the deterioration of political ideology, morality, lifestyle, manifestations of "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" among the commune-level cadres and civil servants still have many limitations with the weakest point in leadership and implementation The limitations and weaknesses mentioned above are due to the following reasons: Firstly, executive committees of the district party committees have not properly paid attention to the education of political ideology, morality and lifestyle for commune-level cadres and civil servants and the thorough grasp of resolutions and directives of the Party, State and Municipal Party Committee on the prevention and fight against deterioration Secondly, the cadre work still has weaknesses, shortcomings, and confusion, especially planning and evaluating commune-level cadres and civil servants on political ideology, morality and lifestyle Thirdly, a number of cadres and civil servants, especially cadres and civil servants holding key leadership and management positions at the district and commune levels, not often self-study, cultivate, train, and improve their political ideology, morality and lifestyle Fourthly, some executive committees have not really appreciated and promoted the role of the Fatherland Front, socio-political organizations and people in participating in the prevention and fight against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" manifestations, especially the deterioration of political ideology, morality, and lifestyle in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants Fifthly, the impact of the negative side of the market mechanism, opening-up, international integration, and the destruction of hostile forces affects the prevention and fight against the "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of current commune-level cadres and civil servants Chapter VIEWS AND SOLUTIONS FOR STRENGTHENING THE PREVENTION AND COMBAT AGAINST "SELF-EVOLUTION", "SELF-TRANSFORMATION" IN THE CONTINGENT OF COMMUNELEVEL CADRES AND CIVIL SERVANTS IN HO CHI MINH CITY 4.1 Basic views on strengthening prevention and combat against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of cadres and civil servants in Ho Chi Minh City 4.1.1 Prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants are the responsibility of the commune-level political system and commune-level cadres and civil servants The reality proved that there have no changes in the scheme and activities of "peaceful evolution", riots of hostile forces to eliminate the leadership of the Communist Party and socialist regime in Vietnam; Only their methods and tricks have changed Therefore, the prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among cadres and party members in general, commune-level cadres and civil servants in particular is a difficult and complex task of the whole Party, all people, the whole army at all levels and branches of localities in the City under the leadership of the Party Committee, requiring proactive, persistent, regular and continuous implementation A high 20 focus should be given on mobilizing organizations in the political system, socio-economic organizations and the people to participate in the leadership process of Party organizations at all levels in the prevention and combat against "Self-evolution", "self-transformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants 4.1.2 Good implementation of the motto of combining the "building" and "combating", well "building” to "combat" well, in which educating the awareness of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" for commune-level cadres and civil servants is a focal issue The whole Party Committee focused on building and consolidating the clean and strong political system to timely detect the risks of "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" from the beginning stage as a basis for struggle, criticism and effective prevention At the same time, it is important to resolutely and thoroughly fight against corruption, wastefulness, bureaucracy, contributing to destroying the scheme of promoting "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" of hostile forces 4.1.3 Prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants is a long-term, difficult, complicated and sensitive issue that requires perseverance, flexibility and association with perfection of the socialist legal system The hostile forces never give up the schemes and goals to destroy the Vietnamese revolution, in which their focus was to transform our internal scope, especially transforming the grassroots-level cadres and civil servants Therefore, the struggle against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants will be a long, difficult and complicated path In order to effectively lead the prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants, the Party committees at all levels must always determine that this is a severe, long and complex struggle, therefore, it is requested to be persistent, resolute, clever, regular, constant, subjective, flexible in measures and methods based on unchanged principle In addition, in order to ensure the conditions for the prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants, the law perfection is an indispensable and continuous task The complete socialist law system creates foundation and measures to fight against the schemes and tricks of the enemies, especially against hostile elements and manifestations and behaviors of "self-evolution", " self-transformation” in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants 4.1.4 The resistance, "self-immunity" against misleading and hostile views are a measure of the efficiency of the prevention and combat against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" of commune-level cadres and civil servants In the work, the commune-level cadres and civil servants have to solve many social relationships that affect the political ideology, emotion, ethics and lifestyle, therefore, if each individual lacks political stance and does not harmoniously selfsolve this relationship, he/she easily falls in "self-evolution" and "selftransformation", incitation and bribery by the bad guys, fading away the revolutionary ideal and goals of the Party Prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" of commune-level cadres and civil servants in the City - one of 21 regular and "root" tasks in the Party organization and

commune-level cadres and civil servants Summary of chapter On the basis of the theory and current situation of prevention and fight against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants in Ho Chi Minh City, it is possible to identify the views that prevention and fight against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of communelevel cadres and civil servants are considered as tasks and responsibilities of the political system, the executive committees, local authorities and the contingent of communelevel cadres and civil servants; well implementing the motto of combining "prevention" and "fight", good "prevention" for good "fight", in which the education of the sense of prevention of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" for commune-level cadres and civil servants is the first priority; the prevention and fight against "self-development", "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants is a long-term, difficult, complicated and sensitive issue that requires persistence, skill, and must be associated with perfecting the socialist legal system; the resistance to wrong and hostile views must be considered as a measure of effectiveness in the fight against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" of commune-level cadres and civil servants in Ho Chi Minh City 23 Along with the good implementation of these views, it is necessary to synchronously implement a system of basic solutions to prevent and fight against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants in Ho Chi Minh City, in order to carry out this task smoothly, methodically and with a roadmap, ensuring the inheritance and development, the Party Committee and the city government should create conditions for Party committees at all levels to regularly improve the efficiency of ideological work on the prevention and fight against "selfevolution" and "self-transformation" among the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants; promote self-cultivation and self-training activities of the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants in the prevention and fight against " selfevolution" and "self-transformation"; step up the prevention and fight against corruption, bureaucracy and some negative manifestations in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants; enhance the leadership of the Party and the management of the State over the prevention and fight against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" in the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants; and bring into full play the strength of the authorities, people, and political and social organizations in the prevention and fight against "self-evolution" and "selftransformation" among the contingent of commune-level cadres and civil servants CONCLUSION Ho Chi Minh City is a special urban area and the contingent of cadres and civil servants play a very important role in fulfilling the economic, political, cultural and social tasks of a Southern key city Over the past years, the Party Committee and the City government have attached great importance to building, fostering and developing the contingent of cadres and civil servants at commune and ward levels, especially the prevention and combat against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation” in this contingent In the most general way, the "self-evolution", "self-transformation" is the process of objectively changing the inside aspect of things, phenomena In dialectical aspect, "self-evolution" is a qualitative transformation in which "self-evolution" may bring positive or negative results From the perspective of internal political security protection, "self-evolution" is always put in quotation mark to refer to subjective aspect and internal political aspect of "peaceful evolution" of hostile forces The consequence of "self-evolution" is "self-transformation" of ideology, ethnics and lifestyle Therefore, the nature of "self-evolution", "self-transformation" is within the scope of negative developments in political ideology This is a process occurring in a certain time long or short depending on each person, each specific organization; it depends on political stability of each cadre and civil servant and the "integrity" of their ethnics and lifestyle According to the Resolution of the Tenth Municipal Party Committee, the degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle of cadres and civil servants at all levels, especially at the commune and ward levels in Ho Chi Minh City does not simultaneously occur; it occurs and develops step by step: from insignificant to significant level, from mild to severe level, from narrow to wide range, from one field to the other The process of this degradation is also the process of "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among cadres and party members, pushing the Party 24 increasingly far from revolutionary goals and ideals; increasingly bureaucratic, away from the people, gradually losing the trust of the people and eventually leading to the consequences: The Party loses its leading role to the people In recent years, the Party Committee and the City government have paid much attention and applied many guidelines and measures to struggle against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation" among commune-level cadres and civil servants However, the obtained results are still limited The corruption and wastefulness have not been prevented, repelled and this phenomenon continue to complicatedly develop in some grassroots-level agencies and units through increasing sophisticated and cunning tricks, causing great economic damages and making cadres and civil servants dissatisfied and worried The hostile forces took absolute advantage of this gap to distort and incite in order to create separation between the Party, the State and the people In order to prevent the degradation in political ideology, ethics and lifestyle of the contingent of cadres and civil servants at wards and communes in Ho Chi Minh City today, it is necessary to drastically implement a system of consistent solutions; focusing on the following groups of solutions: solutions for subjects who are responsible for struggling against "self-evolution" and "self-transformation"; solutions for self-study and self-improvement of commune-level cadres and civil servants; solutions for promoting anti-corruption, bureaucracy and other negative manifestations; strengthening the Party's leadership and the State's management over the prevention and combat against "self-evolution", "self-transformation" and solutions for promoting the strength of the people and socio-political organizations, the press and public opinion In the contingent of above-mentioned solution groups, the solutions for promoting the strength of the people and socio-political organizations, the press and public opinion play a particularly important role Through the role of social supervision and criticism of the people through the Fatherland Front and mass organizations, it is necessary to establish more communication forums in the press and mass media to attract discussions and comments of the classes on the Party and State's major policies and directions, especially policies and directions that are related to and affect the socio-economic life of the locality Over the years, depending on the objects and scope of influence, hostile forces have used various tactics, contents, forms and methods to promote "self-evolution" and "self-transformation", however, they are shifting the focus of ""self-evolution" and "self-transformation " towards the grassroots-level cadres and civil servants, including the contingent of cadres and civil servants at wards and communes in Ho Chi Minh City Facing such sabotage, a large section of cadres and civil servants was affected Therefore, more than ever, each commune-level cadre and civil servant in the city should uphold the spirit of exemplary pioneering, overcome the limitations and weaknesses in improving revolutionary virtues, strengthening trust in the Party and people With the highest political determination, we will absolutely fight to defeat all schemes of "peaceful evolution", riots and overthrowing of the enemy, prevent and push back the risk of "self-evolution", "self-transformation", degradation in political ideology, ethnics and lifestyle of one part of commune-level cadres and civil servants; maintain political security, social order and safety in the locality LIST OF THE AUTHOR’S ANNOUNCED SCIENTIFIC WORKS Tran Hai Ha (2016), Prevention and combat
