The book is divided into five sections, which deal with Safety and Security Science, Security and Emergency managment, Threats and Risks, Cyber Risks and Extraordinary Event, Preparation and Solutions.The book is intended primarily for scientific communities established in security sciences, theorists and experts working in various positions and levels of security organizations, universities with specializations in security studies, but also for the expert public interested in security issues or entities directly responsible for security and emergency management.

In diesem Buch werden die gesellschaftlichen Funktionen von Sportvereinen anhand eines breiten Spektrums an empirischen Daten einer vergleichenden Studie näher beleuchtet. Es gibt nur wenige aktuelle Erkenntnisse über die Funktionen von Sportvereinen und ihr Potenzial, die öffentliche Gesundheit, den sozialen Zusammenhalt und die demokratische Teilhabe durch freiwilliges Engagement zu fördern und damit zum Gemeinwohl in den europäischen Gesellschaften beizutragen. Die meisten der vorhandenen Studien sind länderspezifisch und erlauben daher keine Vergleiche aus einer länderübergreifenden Perspektive. Vor diesem Hintergrund hat das Projekt "Social Inclusion and Volunteering in Sports Clubs in Europe" (SIVSCE) vergleichbare Daten und Erkenntnisse in zehn europäischen Ländern gesammelt, analysiert und diskutiert und dieses Wissen an Politiker, Sportfachleute und Freiwillige im Sport in Europa weitergegeben.Das SIVSCE-Projekt enthält vergleichende Daten von Vereinen sowie von Mitgliedern in ausgewählten Sportvereinen. In jedem Länderkapitel werden die vergleichenden Daten aus dem SIVSCE-Projekt in kohärenter Weise zusammengestellt. Insbesondere die Daten der Mitgliederbefragung geben detailliert Auskunft über die Erfüllung der verschiedenen Funktionen von Sportvereinen (z.B. Erweiterung der demokratischen Teilhabe, soziale Integration). Dieses Buch liefert detaillierte Daten zu politischen Fragen, zur Struktur und zum Management von Vereinen sowie zu individuellen Mitgliederbefragungen und ist damit sowohl für Studierende - insbesondere in Sportmanagement-Studiengängen - als auch für Forscher und Praktiker in den Sozial- und Wirtschaftswissenschaften von Nutzen.

This new edition of the classic textbook presents a large number of diagrams showing the stability relations among minerals and groups of minerals found in metamorphic rocks. The diagrams help to determine the pressure and temperature conditions under which a given set of metamorphic rocks may have formed. Other parameters that control metamorphic mineral assemblages are also discussed and pitfalls resulting from simplifications and generalizations are highlighted. The book discusses the most common metamorphic rock types, their nomenclature, structure and graphical representation of their mineral assemblages. Part I defines basic principles of metamorphism, introduces metamorphic processes, geologic thermometry and barometry and defines metamorphic grade. Part II presents in a systematic way mineralogical changes and assemblages found in the most common types of metamorphic rocks. The computation of diagrams is based on recent advances in quantitative petrology and geochemistry. An extensive bibliography, including the key contributions and classic papers in the field, make it an invaluable source book for graduate students and professional geologists.

This book, written by two pioneers in the field, provides a clear and concise description of memristors and other memory elements. It stresses the difference between their mathematical definition and physical reality. The reader will then be able to distinguish between what is experimentally realizable and various fictitious claims that plague the scientific literature. The discussion is kept simple enough that the book should be easily accessible not only to graduate students and researchers in Physics and Engineering, but also to undergraduate students interested in this topic.

This book is inspired by the term ¿digiwine,¿ a neologism referring to the production and/or marketing of wine through the use of new technologies and robotics such as vineyard information systems, sensor units, weather stations, drones, robotic harvesters, social media videos, digital labels, and wine apps. The alcohol industry is using these technologies to develop digital strategies and online tools for more efficient sales of wine. This book analyzes the use of digital alcohol marketing, the reasons for it, the role of regulation, and its social impact. In particular, malignant forms of alcohol marketing to youth are precisely described through exact case descriptions from the global milieu. The author questions whether the loopholes in the legislation or inefficiency of self-regulation have negative consequences that can no longer be prevented by public health care programs.When and how did the alcohol industry become so deeply interwoven in our lives that we mindlessly advertise and parade in its shadow on social media and that we increasingly buy alcohol digitally for fun, in innovative packaging, and with strange ingredients combinations? Dr. Mojca Ram¿ak¿s book peels back the layers of the alcohol industry¿s most obvious yet overlooked marketing tactics. It also reveals the sluggishness of preventive and curative efforts, as well as legal or self-regulatory measures, at keeping up with the alcohol industry¿s use of technology. - Nadja Furlan ¿tante, Principal Research Associate and Professor of Religious Studies, Science and Research Centre of Koper, Slovenia.
