    Advanced Methods of Detecting Explosives in Improvised Explosives Devices
    (Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2021) Lichorobiec, Stanislav; Barčová, Karla
    Bomb disposal squads who identify and test improvised explosives devices and ordnance mostly use dogs, metal detectors, traditional detectors of trace particles and portable X-ray devices. Magnetometers and ground-penetrating radar devices are used to find ordnance under the ground, and sonar is used to find ordnance under water. In some cases, however, it would also be appropriate to make use of certain advanced methods of detecting explosives, such as quadrupole resonance, neutron in - gamma out, and optical methods of stand-off detection.

    Development of a Maritime Safety - Tool for Inner Harbour Ferry Transport Operations
    (Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2021) Kershaw, Carl; Klockner, Karen
    This research was interested in examining if an existing rail industry accident investigation tool could be modified for inner harbour ferry operations. The Contributing Factors Framework (CFF) investigation tool was therefore modified for the maritime industry, specifically as both an investigation tool and a post safety occurrence coding tool. The outcome of this research was the development of a new practical human factors centred investigation tool. It provides a framework for the identification of complex sociotechnical system failures and contributing factors specific to inner harbour ferry operations. The new Contributing Factors Framework-Maritime Safety (CFF-MS) tool fills an existing gap in the need to be able to identify specific inter-relationships between people, technology, and the wider transport system when conducting maritime industry safety investigations.

    Prognosis for the Development of Vulnerability of Objects within the Fire Protection
    (Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2021) Malatinský, Adam; Hromada, Martin
    The article deals with the prognosis for the development of vulnerability of objects within fire protection. The article defines vulnerability, its significance, causes, analysis, criteria and determination. The following section deals with a brief historical development of the vulnerability of buildings in fire protection, followed by a section on the current state of vulnerability of buildings in fire protection. The following parts of the article deal with the prognosis of the development of objects' vulnerability for the years 2030, 2040 and 2050. The prognostic method, description, application, and final result of the prognosis are chosen within these parts.

    LoRaWAN Solutions in the COVID-19 Aspect
    (Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2021) Borsos, Döníz
    The rapid growth in the number of solutions using the Internet of Things (IoT) technologies is not new. The number of products using LoRaWAN technology is also growing. The spread of COVID-19 has, among other things, led to the evolution of IoT devices related to virus control. Several LoRaWAN products related to COVID-19 are being developed. LoRaWAN COVID-19 solutions are mainly grouped around the following topics: contact tracing/proximity detection, health equipment or device data transmission, and signalling/calling systems. Contact tracing has a crucial role in healthcare institutions, government agencies, and vital factories and among these institutions' workers. In the case of a medical device, data transmission simplifies administration, reduces the volume of contact, and allows contactless monitoring. In critical situations, healthcare institutions need to create temporary nursing areas. Mobile signalling or call systems may be required in these areas. The research examines LoRaWAN COVID-19 solutions and their relationship to critical infrastructures.

    Application of Specific Prediction Methods in the Process of Criminological Forecasting
    (Vysoká škola báňská - Technická univerzita Ostrava, 2021) Kmeť, Roman
    The mission of criminology is not only to describe, explain and interpret the existing ones, but it must also anticipate a closer and more distant future. The value of criminological knowledge is determined by its accuracy and completeness, as well as the timeliness, which provides the prerequisites for making decisions without time constraints. The development of reliable forecasts of crime, usable for making the highest decisions and effective practical measures, requires not only correct and comprehensive analysis of the prognostic background that causes its development, but also the most effective use of current methodological instrumentation of forecasting.
