Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co. KG The Chemistry Knowledge for Firefighters
Book SynopsisChemical facts taught in firefighting training courses are often "isolated facts." In the book, these facts are integrated into an overall chemical-physical concept. Backgrounds are illuminated, and connections can be recognized. The overall understanding is facilitated, tactical measures for the operation become "logical".This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Das Chemiewissen für die Feuerwehr by Torsten Schmiermund, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.Table of Contents1 Introduction.- The natural sciences.- Substances and mixtures of substances.- 2 States of matter.- States of matter.- Gases.- 3 Atomic models and periodic table.- Atoms and atomic shell.- The periodic table.- 4 Molecules, ions, bonds.- Introduction.- Bonds.- 5 Solutions and chemical reactions.- Chemical reactions: Fundamentals.- Solutions.- Double salts.- 6 Acids and bases.- Acid-base theories.- Acids and bases.- ph value.- Neutralization.- 7 Redox reactions and electrochemistry.- Oxidation/reduction terms.- Redox couples.- Calculation of electromotive force.- Galvanic cells.- Electrolysis.- 8 Radioactivity.- Background knowledge of "radiation".- History of radioactivity.- Radioactivity: terms and notation.- The atomic nucleus.- Radioactive decay.- Nuclide maps.- Units of measurement of radiation from radioactive substances.- Measuring instruments for radiation emitted by radioactive substances.- Radiation exposure.- Biological effects of ionizing radiation.- Applications of radioactive substances.- Nuclear reactions.- Labeling of radioactive substances and areas.- Protection from ionizing radiation.- 9 Energy conversion of chemical reactions.- Energy.- Catalysis.- 10 Burning and extinguishing.- Fire and fires.- The process of burning.- Explosions.- The chemistry of combustion.- Extinguishing.- Fire protection equipment.- 11 Organic chemistry.- Essential organics.- Hydrocarbons.- Organic halogen compounds.- Organic oxygen compounds.- Organic nitrogen compounds.- Organic sulfur compounds.- Plastics.- Surfactants.- 12 CBRNE hazards.- Poisons.- Chemical warfare agents.- Biological agents.- Explosives.- Tables and figures.

PHI Learning Principles of Industrial Safety Management:
Book SynopsisSafety or the effects of its absence are often attributed to fate and loosely termed as “acts of God”. In reality, incidents occur when one or more components of a system or their mutual linkages fail to perform satisfactorily. It is not a simple task to analyse a system failure scenario wherein multiple components interact and it certainly is not a layman’s job. Therefore, it is imperative to give top-most priority to the safety management in industries.Industrial safety management calls for good understanding of all components, including people, equipment, materials, processes and practices and applicable statutes and standards so that the hazards, risks and accidents can be avoided. The book, systematically organised in fifteen chapters, addresses all these components and explain their principles with the aim to help readers develop good understanding of each component. It enables them to identify hazards, assess risks, develop safe work procedures and practices, and adopt appropriate risk control measures to control likelihood as well as severity of an inadvertent failure event.With a special focus on Indian scenario and spoken-style approach, the book comprises ample illustrations—figures and tables—to enrich fruitful learning, chapter-end summary for quick recap of the concepts as well as chapter-end questions to assess students’ understanding of the concepts.Primarily intended for the undergraduate students of fire and industrial safety and the postgraduate students of industrial safety engineering and management, the book will also be of immense use to the students opting diploma or certificate course in fire technology and industrial safety management. Overall, the book aims to meet the curriculum needs and enhance analytical skills of the students.Table of Contents Preface Acknowledgements 1. Evolution of the Safety Concept 2.

Springer Verlag, Singapore Safety and Resilience of Higher Educational
Book SynopsisThe world has spent the majority of 2020 enduring an unpreceded crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. The impact of this crisis has been enormous, and the situation has yet to be resolved. It is still difficult to anticipate when the pandemic will end and how our lives will have changed after the crisis.Higher educational institutions (HEIs) have also had to undergo tremendous transformation, in particular, changing a conventional educational, teaching, and learning system to a digital and online mode and cancelling or postponing important events such as graduation and entrance ceremonies and entrance examinations. In addition, a number of HEIs have been facing financial constraints due to reduced enrolment, particularly from overseas. Students have missed opportunities to meet their family and friends, causing profound psychosocial impact and stress for all concerned.Simultaneously, however, the situation has given HEIs a good opportunity to consider their disaster preparedness, response, and recovery capacity on campus. Some surveys have highlighted a lack of preparedness for pandemic and other hazardous risks beyond natural hazards. Safety issues are a top priority at HEIs because they bring together a number of students, faculty, and staff.This book covers the experiences and lessons learned from HEIs in preparedness, response, and recovery during the COVID-19 pandemic to prepare for such calamities beyond natural disasters in the future. The book consists of 15 chapters divided into three major sections. They highlight the importance of HEIs’ governance issues in disaster risk management, examine the challenges that HEIs have faced during the pandemic and the implementation of new teaching and learning methodologies, and provide innovative responses and preparedness by HEIs based on science and technology, respectively.Table of ContentsChapter 1. Overview and Introduction to the Role of Higher Educational Institution in Disaster Risk Management Chapter 2: Post-pandemic Management in Higher Educational Institutions Chapter 3: New Perspectives of Campus Safety Initiatives in Universities Chapter 4: Regional Overview of Lessons from the Asia-Pacific Regions Chapter 5: Regional Overview of Lessons from Africa: the Impact on the Awareness of the Sector’s Resilience Chapter 6: Disaster Risk Governance in the midst of the COVID-19 Pandemic in Central America: the Case of Guatemala Chapter 7: Looking Ahead While Leaving No One Behind: Resourcefulness and Resiliency among North American Universities Chapter 8: University Networking in Improvising Academic Resilience to the COVID-19 Pandemic: Experiences from Bangladesh Chapter 9: New Role of Universities: Experiences from Taiwan Chapter 10: Vigorous, Vital, Vulnerable: Universities and COVID-19, Aotearoa New Zealand Chapter 11: Applying New Technologies and Innovation in Taiwan Chapter 12: Applying New Technologies and Innovation in Hong Kong: Teaching Health Emergency and Disaster Risk Management (Health-EDRM) Using Massive Open Online Course to Enhance Resilience in Higher Educational Institutions Chapter 13: Scope of Civil Society and University Partnership in Enhancing Resilience Chapter 14: Private Sector and Higher Education Institution Partnerships to Enhance Resilience in the Philippines: The Experience of the National Resilience Council Chapter 15: Impacts, opportunities and potentials in HEIs: During and Post Pandemic Perspectives
