Lecture No. 40. The city as a zone of increased danger

In the conditions of a city, especially a large one, the cause of discomfort and disease is gas pollution and dustiness of the atmospheric air, a high level of noise or vibration, household and industrial waste, pollution of the earth's surface and water bodies. The urban environment is dangerous.

The complex of negative factors of the production environment is characterized by diversity and high levels of impact on a working person. The most common factors include:

1) gas contamination and dustiness of the air of the working area;

2) unfavorable temperature regimes;

3) increased noise;

4) insufficient lighting;

5) hard physical work;

6) increased vibrations.

If safety requirements are not observed in the production environment, occupational diseases, injuries, poisoning and death of people are inevitable.

Over the past decade, cities have significantly increased the number of products made from polymeric synthetic materials used in the decoration of offices of banks, joint-stock companies, etc. There are about 90 types of such materials (wallpaper, tiles, floor coverings, etc.).

Foreign researchers have found that this kind of materials emit chemicals - phenol, benzene, formaldehyde, etc..

To this urban phenomenon is added negative in the form of radiation from office and household appliances (computers, copiers, printers, microwave ovens, televisions, video and audio recorders, etc.), as well as the evaporation of mercury vapor from fluorescent lamps, lamps. The system of bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia has established, on the basis of statistical data, the following zones of increased danger (according to road accidents and cases of a criminogenic nature) in cities:

1) stations (auto, river, sea, railway, air terminals);

2) bazaars (retail, wholesale trade, collective farm fairs, clothing);

3) supermarkets;

4) entertainment establishments (discotheques, casinos, nightclubs, cafes, bars, restaurants).

According to the above objects, accidents occur in the adjacent territories and on roads, entrances, parking lots, criminogenic events occur both at the objects themselves and in the adjacent territories.

Rules of human behavior in everyday life, helping him to avoid criminal situations

Situations of a criminal nature can occur at any time.

Crime has always existed. Today, criminals are a real threat to human life, health and property. Now no one can say with certainty: "My house is my fortress." The risk of intrusion into the apartment of an uninvited guest exists, and no one is immune from this.

There are three ways to enter a home:

1) through the entrance doors;

2) through windows;

3) through the balcony.

How can this be prevented? Try to protect yourself and your children by following the basic rules.

1. If possible, do not leave children alone at home. When you leave home, instruct the children, give them some advice, and try to follow the same procedure yourself when you are at home.

Try to play possible situations with children, comment on the actions of children during the game, clearly explain how to behave in extreme situations;

2. While in the apartment, check the reliability of locks and constipation;

3. No need to answer questions on the phone about the names of the parents, where they work, what is their work phone number, what time they will return home. Do not enter into conversations with anyone through the door, in response to any questions and requests, answer: "Now I will call the police, they will come and sort it out."

4. Be careful with the keys to the apartment.

5. When leaving the house, securely lock the balcony doors, vents, even if the apartment is located on the top floor.

6. Returning home, approaching your door, make sure that there are no strangers behind.

7. Do not leave the keys to the apartment in accessible and well-known places (under the rug, in the mailbox).

8. Never tell anyone about the valuable things that are in your apartment, about the condition of the apartment, who returns home and at what time. Be careful when choosing an interlocutor, even if you are in a store, at the post office and other crowded places in your neighborhood. The offender is unlikely to act without accurate data on the condition of the apartment.

9. If, upon returning home, you find that the door of the apartment is ajar or forced, do not enter the apartment under any circumstances.

10. Do not enter into an argument with robbers. Try to calm down and concentrate in order to remember everything you saw and heard, paying attention to any features of the appearance and behavior of the bandits. This will make it easier to catch them and help return the stolen goods.

pickpocketing This is highly professional work.

It is carefully organized, worked out many times and takes literally seconds.

When going to crowded places, do not take your wallet with you.

If you quickly discovered the theft, immediately find the police officer on duty and inform him about what happened.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven 09.05.2024

Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Mini air conditioner Sony Reon Pocket 5 09.05.2024

Summer is a time for relaxation and travel, but often the heat can turn this time into an unbearable torment.

Energy from space for Starship 08.05.2024

Producing solar energy in space is becoming more feasible with the advent of new technologies and the development of space programs. The head of the startup Virtus Solis shared his vision of using SpaceX's Starship to create orbital power plants capable of powering the Earth. Startup Virtus Solis has unveiled an ambitious project to create orbital power plants using SpaceX's Starship. This idea could significantly change the field of solar energy production, making it more accessible and cheaper. The core of the startup's plan is to reduce the cost of launching satellites into space using Starship. This technological breakthrough is expected to make solar energy production in space more competitive with traditional energy sources. Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>

New Science - Forensic Seismology 15.08.2002

More than forty years ago, the nuclear powers began to create networks of seismic stations to monitor enemy nuclear tests. Now these networks, which have evolved significantly and increased their sensitivity, are largely out of work.

At the annual conference of the American Geophysical Union, held in April of this year, representatives of a new science - forensic seismology spoke. Recordings of supersensitive seismographs, it turns out, can contribute to the investigation of various incidents and crimes.

So, Terry Wallace, a seismologist from the University of Arizona, collected seismograms of such incidents as explosions of oil and gas pipelines, plane and train crashes - about 400 records in total. Having analyzed them, Wallace can now, for example, determine from the seismogram of a plane crash whether it hit the ground still intact or exploded in the air.

Another geophysicist finds secretly dug underground tunnels by reflecting seismic waves. So it was possible to identify the tunnels made by smugglers under the US-Mexico border at a depth of 10-20 meters (drugs and illegal immigrants were delivered through these passages).
