Il bioterrorismo, il agello del terzo millennio, ha conseguenze signicative per la sicurezza nazionale e globale. Come chiaramente dimostrato nel contesto del COVID-19, una crisi di salute pubblica, sia essa naturale o causata dall'uomo, può avere un impatto incalcolabile - variabile in termini di durata e di estensione spaziale e temporale - su diversi livelli, ovvero sociale, nanziario, economico, politico, compresa la sicurezza nazionale.Questo articolo combina l'esperienza di un imprenditore nel campo della ricerca e della produzione biofarmaceutica con il lavoro di ricerca di un economista, studente di dottorato, incentrato sulla gestione della sicurezza nazionale. I risultati della ricerca sono stati racchiusi in un'opera scientica appassionante per i lettori, basata su un approccio a dir poco innovativo: da una prospettiva economico-nanziaria, compreso l'impatto della corruzione sul mercato medico-farmaceutico globale. Revisore scientico, Dottoressa Ec. Andreea Florina RADU (Consigliere, Difesa nazionale, ordine pubblico e sistema di sicurezza nazionale)
These are just some of the questions to be addressed in this paper. We do not pretend to give the final and complete answers, as the field under study still has many grey areas and even some areas completely unexplored by scientific research. We aim to at least open the discussion on the subject of bioterrorism, without claiming to be the supreme authority in the field or the final voice. We do not even pretend that our work is relevant in terms of security solutions in such a complex and fluid security environment, where situations and states of affairs can change dramatically from year to year. However, our aim in this series of papers on bioterrorism is to clarify a number of notions, con...
This is an engrossing analysis of ?Abd al-Ra?m?n al-Mahd?'s initiative to abandon the futile political violence and religious fanaticism of the 19th century historic Mahdiyya. It articulates his alternative constitutional strategy that has placed Neo-Mahdism in the centre stage of Sudanese politics.
Din îmbinarea activității a doi economiști ale căror preocupări au tangențe cu domeniul securității naționale a rezultat o lucrare cel puțin interesantă. Cei doi autori punând cap la cap experiența lor au decis să întocmească un set de lucrări științifice dedicate bioterorismului, căutând să surprindă situația actuală a acestui fenomen, dar și să intuiască posibilele tendințe de evoluție în viitorul apropiat și mediu. Lucrarea de față coroborează experiența unui întreprinzător în domeniul cercetării și producției din domeniul bio-farmaceutic, cu activitatea de cercetare a unei economiste ce a vizat cu precădere managementul securității naționale...
This book is a critiqued collection of over 200 terms regularly used to name the urban void, from the terrain vague to the buffer zone. As the landscape architect James Corner has pointed out, a void cannot be labeled because "to name it is to claim it in some way." By listing existing terms, A Glossary of Urban Voids is an attempt to name the unnamable, to define that which should have no precise definition. It records terms, names, and labels used to designate leftover spaces resulting from processes of urban abandonment that originate from some kind of obsolescence or loss. Besides obvious consequences, these processes of abandonment open up the space, liberating it from existing ideological frameworks (such as financial, capital, or cultural frameworks), allowing for divergent spatialities to emerge, and ultimately offering opportunities for the imagination and conceptualization of an alternative type of public space. Using the glossary as a theoretical tool, this book presents the most relevant questions on the issue of the urban void and its potential role as public space.
The Fourth Industrial Revolution is changing everything - from the way we relate to each other, to the work we do, the way our economies work, and what it means to be human. We cannot let the brave new world that technology is currently creating simply emerge. All of us need to help shape the future we want to live in. But what do we need to know and do to achieve this? In Shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution, Klaus Schwab explores how people from all backgrounds and sectors can influence the way that technology transforms our world. Drawing on contributions by more than 200 of the world's leading technology, economic and sociological experts to present a practical guide for citizens, bu...
A collection of controversial essays touches upon an array of issues, from marriage equality and conspiracy theories to animal rights.
With growing global competition, the process industries must spare no effort in insuring continuous process improvement in terms of Increasing profitability; Conservation of resources and Prevention of pollution. The question is how can engineers achieve these goals for a given process with numerous units and streams? Until recently conventional approaches to process design and operation put emphasis only on individual units and parts of the process. A more powerful integrated approach was lacking. The new field of Process Integration looks towards the processing plant as a whole in its attempt to find solutions and improvements. Research over the past two decades has resulted in many techni...
The Discourse of Tourism and National Heritage: A Contrastive Study from a Cultural Perspective presents an in-depth research study in the field of online tourism promotion. It focuses on the national online promotion of UNESCO World Heritage Sites, on two different types of websites â " institutional and commercial â " from three countries, Romania, Spain and Great Britain. The book analyses the way in which each country combines various modes to create a virtual brochure with a promotional message from both institutional and commercial positions. In doing this, it studies the organization of the websites and their webpages, as well as the lexico-grammatical and visual features of their promotional messages. The theoretical framework used is Systemic Functional Linguistics (Halliday 1985, 1994; Kress and van Leeuwen 1996, 2006; Halliday and Matthiessen 2004). The results are compared in relation to the types of websites and to the countries in which they were produced. These are further interpreted from a cultural perspective, showing that the findings can be accounted for by cultural variability, in particular the dimension of context (Hall 1976, 1990, 2000).
