“What is dear to you?” Survey of beliefs regarding protection of critical infrastructure against terrorism

Up to the present, there is only very little research on how the population perceives terrorism and its threats, even though support from the population is crucial for effective counterterrorism. By eliciting beliefs and subjecting them to content analyses, six factors were found that determine the protection worthiness of a target in the people's view: the potential damage to “people,” “symbolism,” “economy,” “politics,” “nature,” and “image/publicity.” These empirically found factors are in line with factors specified by terrorist target selection models. They differ in the strength of their cognitive representation among participants and, thus, their subjective importance to the people. The first three factors are shared among all participants, whereas the latter ones could only be found in a part of the participant sample. People's judgments of the targets' protection worthiness differ substantially from their judgments of the targets' attractiveness to terrorists, even though the same factors seem to be involved. This study offers an insight into the people's mental model about protection worthiness of targets. Together with classical risk analysis and knowledge about terrorists, these results can form a basis for setting up a holistic scheme for critical infrastructure protection.     

Nuclear security culture enhancement: the role of culture coordinators at Russian nuclear sites

In 2002, a Nuclear Security Culture (NSC) Enhancement Program with the mission to raise the level of the NSC at sites and facilities in Russia's nuclear complex was launched under the guidance of the Russian State Corporation “ROSATOM” and with support from the US Department of Energy. A Joint Working Group for NSC with both Russian Federation and US members was formed and charged with the design and implementation of the program. The program was implemented at sites and facilities on a pilot basis. Nine sites participated in the Pilot Project. The key program component was an establishment of Culture Coordinators (CCs) with the authority to coordinate and implement NSC enhancement activities at sites and facilities. The CCs have served as the force that has maintained the momentum of the Pilot Project and continuously steered the site NSC enhancement efforts. The contribution of the CCs in achieving the positive outcomes of the program cannot be overstated.     

南沙珊瑚礁生态系统的调查与保护对策

2009年12月30日-2010年1月10日,采取线路调查和咨询调查相结合的方法,调查了南沙渚碧礁、永署礁、华阳礁、赤瓜礁与美济礁珊瑚的分布、生长发育及生物多样性变化情况.发现南沙珊瑚礁生态系统受到的破坏干扰强烈,珊瑚白化现象突出,生物多样性显著下降,珊瑚礁生态系统退化态势严峻.为保障南沙珊瑚礁生态系统的健康发展和可持...

新疆塔吉克族非物质文化遗产保护研究

塔吉克族是新疆的世居民族之一,新疆塔吉克族的国家级、自治区级和地区级非物质文化遗产项目类型丰富,具有民族性、地域性、综合性和独特性的特征。塔什库尔干塔吉克自治县在塔吉克族非物质文化遗产保护方面,采取了多种措施,取得了丰硕的成果,但是依然存在着一系列的问题。本文力求通过加强塔吉克族非物质文化遗产的挖掘、整理和申报、加大对国家级和自治区级的非物质文化遗产的保护、在合理保护的前提下加大非物质文化遗产的产品化进程、建设文化生态保护区等措施,探讨新疆塔吉克族非物质文化遗产保护的基本思路。     

潜艇自航发射鱼雷的若干问题

潜艇自航发射鱼雷可以降低发射过程的辐射噪声,有利于提高发射艇的安全性。通过分析自航发射需具备的基本条件、现有533mm口径潜艇鱼雷发射管实现自航发射的可能性、后端补水的自航发射、有动力后端补水的自航发射等几个问题,得出了533mm口径的潜艇鱼雷发射管不可能实现自航发射的结论。另外,对降低潜艇发射鱼雷时的出管速度给鱼雷和发射艇带来的风险作了分析,得出了为保证潜艇发射鱼雷时的安全不能随意降低鱼雷出管速度的结论。     

陶瓷基复合装甲防12.7mm穿甲燃烧弹的靶试研究（Ⅱ）

基于对材料特性和防弹机理的认识,设计了由（SiC＋Si）陶瓷、616装甲钢和高强PE材料构成的陶瓷基复合靶板,靶板防护面密度为118 kg/m2,尺寸为500 mm×500 mm×25 mm。利用现役12.7 mm穿甲燃烧弹考核靶板在6发弹打击下的防护能力,检验靶板设计思路。结果表明：靶板结构是可行的,可防住V25为818 m/s的现役12.7 mm穿甲燃烧弹。

消防应急照明和疏散指示标志设置常见问题分析

消防应急照明与疏散指示标志的作用是保证火灾时仍需坚持工作场所的工作照度和安全通道的疏散照度,正确引导火灾场所的人员安全疏散到安全地带,是保障消防作业和安全疏散必不可少的重要设施。消防应急照明和疏散指示标志的设置应既符合消防要求又要行之有效,但在实际工作中经常出现设置上的疏漏和错误,下面就一些常见的问题进行列举分析。     

适用于公共安全领域的多功能警用无人旋翼机

与直升机和固定翼相比,无人旋翼机对起飞场地的要求较低,具有低能耗、高功效、不易受环境因素影响等优点,适合安保部队的任务需要。为了进一步提高其作战性能,以无人自转旋翼机为平台,添加多种操作功能,完成宣传威慑、高空监控、杀伤性与非杀伤性攻击等任务,进而实现无人自转旋翼机的多功能化。
