This book presents the proceedings of SICC 2017, a conference devoted to promoting the dissemination of the different methodologies, techniques, theories, strategies, technologies and best practices on the prevention and mitigation of CBRNE risks. As the first scientific international conference on safety & security issues in the CBRNE field, SICC 2017 attracted contributions resulting from fruitful inter-professional collaborations between university and military experts, specialized operators, decision makers and the industry. As such, these proceedings are primarily intended for academics and professionals from public, private and military entities. It is the first trans-disciplinary collection of scientific papers from the numerous fields related to CBRNE.
The years between 1775 and 1815 constitute a crucial episode in the evolutionary history of Europe and America. Between the start of the American Revolution, with the first armed clashes between British regulars and American militiamen at Concord and Lexington, and the closing act of the French Revolution, with the eclipse of Napoleon's dreams of pan-European glory on the battlefield of Waterloo, America and Europe witnessed the rise and fall of radicalism, which left virtually no aspect of public and private life untouched.

This book covers the security and safety of CBRNE assets and management, and illustrates which risks may emerge and how to counter them through an enhanced risk management approach. It also tackles the CBRNE-Cyber threats, their risk mitigation measures and the relevance of raising awareness and education enforcing a CBRNE-Cy security culture. The authors present international instruments and legislation to deal with these threats, for instance the UNSCR1540. The authors address a multitude of stakeholders, and have a multidisciplinary nature dealing with cross-cutting areas like the convergence of biological and chemical, the development of edging technologies, and in the cyber domain, the impelling risks due to the use of malwares against critical subsystems of CBRN facilities. Examples are provided in this book. Academicians, diplomats, technicians and engineers working in the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, explosive and cyber fields will find this book valuable as a reference. Students studying in these related fields will also find this book useful as a reference.
Als Opera semiseria ("halbernste Oper") wird eine um 1800 aufkommende mittlere Gattung des italienischen Musiktheaters bezeichnet, die sich an modernen Pariser Buhnengenres wie Melodrame und Opera-comique orientierte und im fruhen 19. Jahrhundert auf den Spielplanen einen erheblichen Stellenwert einnahm. Vor dem Hintergrund asthetischer, okonomischer, politischer und sozialgeschichtlicher Prozesse wird ihre Entwicklung im Kontext eines franzosisch-italienischen Kulturtransfers interpretiert, der fur das napoleonische Italien grundlegend war, aber auch in der Zeit der Restauration und daruber hinaus fortwirkte. Die historische Bedeutung der Opera semiseria liegt vor allem in der Assimilation ...
