W artykule analizowano pojęcie bezpieczeństwa społecznego. Podjęto próbę zdefiniowania bezpieczeństwa społecznego w sposób szeroki. Nawiązano do postulatów zrównoważonego rozwoju. Ukazano ewolucję w rozumieniu bezpieczeństwa społecznego w Polsce. W pierwszej części tekstu nakreślono pokrótce zmianę jakościową w rozumieniu pojęcia bezpieczeństwa społecznego po 1989 roku, koncentrując się na przyczynach,...
Temat podejmowany w artykule dotyczy wyzwań dla Europejskich Sił Żandarmerii w zakresie zapewniania bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego. Założono, że Europejskie Siły Żandarmerii są instytucją właściwą do wypełniania zadań z zakresu zapewniania bezpieczeństwa wewnętrznego poza granicami UE. Posługiwano się wymiennie stosowanymi zarówno w literaturze przedmiotu, jak i w praktyce nazwami: żandarmeria, gwardia...
Nowadays most states draw attention not only to the security of their territory, the preservation of their territorial integrity and sovereignty, but also – and, perhaps, particularly – to the security of their citizens. Meeting the basic needs of people, ensuring the working of public transport as well as other means of communication, electronic communication, ensuring uninterrupted supplies of energy...
The understanding of internal security in the post-Cold War period considerably differs from the perception of the concept prevailing in the previous era. The qualitative change in the meaning of internal security has been caused by many factors of both intra-state as well as – paradoxically – international character. However, internal security is understood in different ways in various states because...
Fishing has the highest rate of occupational fatalities in the USA, per the Bureau of Labor Statistics, and Alaska's waters are the deadliest, per Coast Guard statistics [1]. Many fishing fatalities stem from small boats, 44 feet in length or less. Small boats can sink or tip for many reasons including bad weather, rough seas, mechanical problems and poor maintenance. Some operators will cut corners...
When oceangoing ships become disabled at sea, the process of establishing an emergency towing connection using conventional methods can be extremely dangerous, especially in heavy weather, low light, or low visibility conditions. The responding towing vessel must position itself beneath, or near to, the flare of the disabled ship's bow while a towline is hauled vertically to the fo'c'sle deck. This...
Battery aging coupled with additional loads placed on the power system of the Mola Mola AUV required that the original battery pack be replaced with a higher capacity system. A set of requirements were assembled to ensure the new pack would be electrically compatible, safe, and of appropriate configuration for AUV use. Pressure tolerant SeaSafe lithium ion modules, produced by the Southwest Electronic...
In order to improve the maneuverability and safety of the air cushion vehicle (ACV), considering the internal uncertainties, external disturbances, chattering in sliding mode control, the second order nonsingular terminal sliding mode (SONTSM) controller with extended state observer (ESO) is designed to achieve the course control of ACV. The course controller includes two parts: second order nonsingular...
Increased maritime shipping activity by larger ships is elevating the risk for maritime accidents and environmental impacts. Starting in 2004, these risks are being ameliorated by Automatic Identification System (AIS) technology. Similar to airplane transponders, AIS transmits a vessel's name, type, position, size, course, destination and speed several times a minute. This information is received,...
There has been a lot of work on finding safest path from source to destination. However, all these works mainly rely on the crime data available through government sources. The works are missing many important factor that affect safety of a route. In this work, we first propose safety measurement score and then show how it can be used for safe navigation. We proposed a comprehensive safety measure...
Certain electrical, dimensional, and mechanical characteristics and safety features of single- and three-phase, 60 Hz, liquid-immersed, self-cooled, overhead-type distribution transformers 500 kVA and smaller, high voltages 34 500 V and below, and low voltages 7970/13 800Y V and below are covered in this standard.
We present Geographic Information System model, which is developed on the basis of metasystem approach and it is focused on application as monitoring system of complex object. The model is described on the basis of set-theoretic approach, functions according to scenarios, integrates, processes and monitors the space-time and coordinate information. The problem of acquisition and reversible compression...
The flood of alarms produced by Point-of-Care (PoC) medical devices in intensive care units (ICUs) and operating rooms (ORs) is a crucial issue of today's hospitals. Alarm fatigue and desensitization leads to the death of patients, noise worsens the patient's recovery process and causes burnout syndromes of caregivers, etc. Much research has been done in the last years to reduce false alarms and noise...
Cooperative intelligent transportation systems have become an active topic with the introduction of smart communications between vehicles, increasing driver safety, traffic efficiency and ultimately paving way for autonomous vehicles. These vehicular communications have stringent transmission requirements. Among various proposed communication protocols, use of heterogeneous networks, combining long...
Medical errors and patient safety have been receiving significant attention since the landmark publication by Institute of Medicine in 2000. However, characteristics of physicians implicated in frequent medical errors were not studied systematically. We used National Practitioner Data Bank (NPDB) containing malpractice claims since 1990 to identify characteristics predictive of physicians with frequent...
The number of roundabouts has been increased as they have demonstrated improvements over unsignalized and signalized intersections regarding safety, traffic flow, access management, etc. In this sense, autonomous vehicles should satisfactorily deal with the problem of path planning at these circular intersections. Approaches proposed in literature employ optimization techniques to improve the level...
We present a processing platform that implements DMR with separate clock and power sources to prevent dependent failures working with a reconfigurable cache that includes BIST with self-recovering function to detect transient faults and error prediction to prevent permanent faults. The fault tolerant processor is analyzed to be complying with the ISO26262 SOTIF for ADAS SoC which is fabricated with...
Though accident data have been collected across industries, they may inherently contain uncertainty of randomness and fuzziness which in turn leads to misleading interpretation of the analysis. To handle the issue of uncertainty within accident data, the present work proposes a rough set theory (RST)-based approach to provide rule-based solution to the industry to minimize the number of accidents...
In the future intelligent transport systems (ITS) the reliability and precision of the cooperative and autonomous vehicles are of the utmost importance. For such systems vehicle-to-vehicle and vehicle-to-infrastructure (V2X) communications is safety-critical component of ITS. Many mobility and convenience applications of ITS require the V2X bidirectional communications mode. This paper focuses on...
