How to Stop a Hijacking Critical Thinking in Civil Aviation Security

Hijackings and bombings have plagued civil aviation since 1930 and air rage incidents are on the rise. While there is aircraft and inflight training available for air marshals other first responders receive minimal training on inflight security awareness and protocols. There are no other resources currently available to flight crews or armed first responders that specifically address inflight security and how to address threats of disturbances on airplanes. How to Stop a Hijacking provides readers with fundamental principles on how to think more critically about onboard security threats. The aircraft cabin poses unique environment and security challenges and first responders can apply security awareness and critical thinking skills to establish a safer environment in the cabin and airport for everyone onboard. The lessons in this book are driven with the central objective of teaching the reader how to counter inflight aggression and maintain tactical control of the cabin. Written by a former federal air marshal instructor this book looks at the recent rash of air rage incidents and violence on airplanes in addition to the real and ever-present threat of hijack or potential explosive device. How to Stop a Hijacking is a practical guide that offers methodological and tactically proven strategies for stopping violent acts onboard an aircraft inflight. | How to Stop a Hijacking Critical Thinking in Civil Aviation Security

Disability and Qualitative Inquiry Methods for Rethinking an Ableist World

This groundbreaking text makes an intervention on behalf of disability studies into the broad field of qualitative inquiry. Ronald Berger and Laura Lorenz introduce readers to a range of issues involved in doing qualitative research on disabilities by bringing together a collection of scholarly work that supplements their own contributions and covers a variety of qualitative methods: participant observation interviewing and interview coding focus groups autoethnography life history narrative analysis content analysis and participatory visual methods. The chapters are framed in terms of the relevant methodological issues involved in the research bringing in substantive findings to illustrate the fruits of the methods. In doing so the book covers a range of physical sensory and cognitive impairments. This work resonates with themes in disability studies such as emancipatory research which views research as a collaborative effort with research subjects whose lives are enhanced by the process and results of the work. It is a methodological approach that requires researchers to be on guard against exploiting informants for the purpose of professional aggrandizement and to engage in a process of ongoing self-reflection to clear themselves of personal and professional biases that may interfere with their ability to hear and empathize with others. | Disability and Qualitative Inquiry Methods for Rethinking an Ableist World

Synthetic Biology Science Business and Policy

For nearly forty years using recombinant DNA tools researchers and then businesses have genetically engineered organisms by transferring naturally occurring genes from one organism into another. Doing so modifies the genetic code of living cells imparting new traits and achieving desired results; this is done in the production of proteins pharmaceuticals and seeds. Synthetic biology argues Solomon could free scientists from the need to find natural genes to make such desired modifications. Synthetic biology permits more complex and sophisticated bioengineering than what can be achieved through previous genetic modification techniques. Drawing on non-biological scientific and engineering disciplines including information technology and nanotechnology synthetic biology strives to rearrange an organism's genes on a far wider scale by rewriting its genetic code the chemical instructions need to design assemble and operate a species. By allowing the writing of artificial genetic codes synthetic biology can transform existing industries and spawn new ones creating new products as well as radically reshaping existing items. Arguing for self-regulation by the scientific and business communities Lewis D. Solomon recommends a policy framework that would guard against governmental overregulation which could create a barrier to innovation. Although synthetic biotechnology holds considerable social and economic potential absent a nurturing regulatory climate it may prove difficult to translate research discoveries into commercially viable applications. | Synthetic Biology Science Business and Policy

Microbiomes and Their Functions Why Organisms Need Microbes

This book provides a fundamental understanding of the importance of the microbiome in the life of virtually all multicellular organisms. It explains why microbes are an integral part of living organisms and describes the diverse roles they perform for their hosts. Although the significance of modified bacteria such as the mitochondrion and chloroplast is deeply rooted in the evolution of all complex organisms it is only recently that the contribution of microbial partners within and on their hosts is becoming fully evident. These communities of microbes are as essential to organisms as are the visible organs. Microbiomes are indeed “invisible organs. ” They participate in the digestive process assist in communication networks supply essential nutrients guard against foreign intrusion promote development and contribute to well-being. This unique approach where the dependence of the hosts on their microbiomes is explained will be a must-read for undergraduate and graduate students. Researchers and professionals probing microbial interactions with living organisms will find this book interesting and enriching. Key Features Emphasizes the roles microbiomes play within their hosts Includes many captivating illustrations enabling easy comprehension Explains microbiome functions from algae to vertebrates Reveals how microbiomes contribute to the health of the hosts and the ecosystems Describes the impact of dysbiosis on diseases food security and climate change Boxed sections provide a detailed analysis of concepts and are accompanied by vivid illustrations | Microbiomes and Their Functions Why Organisms Need Microbes
