This article analyzes the field of public-private partnership (hereinafter - PPP). In the field of public safety in Uzbekistan, the improvement of PPP is justified.

The increasing proportion of women in the workforce raises a range of gender-related questions about the different effects of work-related risks on men and women. Few studies have characterized gender differences across occupations and industries, although at this time, the gender sensitive approach is starting to acquire relevance in the field of human preventive medicine. The European Agency for Safety and Health at Work has encouraged a policy of gender equality in all European member states. Italy has adopted European provisions with new specific legislation that integrates the previous laws and introduces the gender differences into the workplace. Despite the fact that gender equal legislation opportunities have been enacted in Italy, their application is delayed by some difficulties. This review examines some of these critical aspects.

Making illegal residence unattractive is a way for Western governments to limit migration from non-Western countries. Focusing on Dutch neighbourhoods with substantial levels of unauthorised migrants, Illegal Residence and Public Safety in the Netherlands examines how restrictive immigration policy influences immigrant crime and perceived neighborhood security. Salient questions arise. To what extent, and under which conditions, do illegal residence and illegal migration impact public safety? Does having illegal residence status influence how people observe or break the law and other social rules? Do their ties with established groups, such as legal migrants, employers and partners, have any sway? Answers to these issues begin surfacing in this rich combination of quantitative information, comprising police figures and surveys on victimisation, and qualitative sources, including interviews at the Dutch Aliens Custody and urban field research.

The study is on public administration and public safety in Anambra State. The essence is to examine how public safety is influenced by public administration. The study was necessitated by the poor nature of public safety in the study area. A quantitative research design was used for the study. Three basic objectives guided the study and accordingly three research questions were raised. The population consised of citizens residing in Awka town the capital of Anambra state. A sample of 150 respondents was drawn using a print questionnaire titled Public Administration and Public Safety Questionnaire (PAPUSQ). The questionnaire Cronbach-Alpha reliability index was 0.82 which is indicative of high reliability and simple percentage was used to analyse the three research questions that guide the study with 50% as bench mark. Results indicated that nature of public safety in the state is rather poor. Many citizens do not enjoy the dividends of good governance. In the same manner, the study discovered that one of ways to improve public administration in order to forestall public safety is by eradication of corruption, prosecution of corrupt public administrators among others. It was suggested that the masses should elect only credible persons to hold public offices. Also, there is need to put systems and structures in place to checkmate the excesses of public administrators. The study therefore concluded that public administration has a critical role to play in ensuring public safety.

Hydrogen is being widely promoted as the future primary energy carrier to replace current hydrocarbon fuels. Governments and industries are investing in research and development programs to develop hydrogen production, transport and storage technologies. In addition, hydrogen gas is currently used in chemical processing and aerospace applications. Hydrogen gas is combustible with a wide flammability range of about 4 to 75 percent, a low ignition energy, and a low gas density. With the expanding application of hydrogen gas coupled with its highly combustible nature, focus must be placed on safety. Detection and monitoring technologies are needed which can provide low limits of detection, high sensitivity, a wide detection range, fast response times and ease of implementation to ensure public safety. Hydrogen sensors are of increasing importance in connection with the development and expanded use of hydrogen gas as an energy carrier and as a chemical reactant. Also they are essential to facilitate the detection of accidental hydrogen releases wherever hydrogen will be produced, distributed, stored, and used. This thesis highlights the importance of hydrogen sensing regarding the safety and reliability. The first chapter describes and classifies the different types of hydrogen sensors and the technology behind them. Characteristic performance parameters of these sensor types, such as measuring range, sensitivity, selectivity and response time are reviewed. In the second chapter the methods of the tests performed on the commercially available hydrogen sensors are described. Parameters such us detection limits and response times are measured and the advantages and disadvantages of those sensors are written down. In the third chapter new hydrogen detecting technologies will be mentioned either available in the market or under development and afterwards we will refer to the improvements of knowledge on hydrogen safety, according to the standards and guidelines of the International Energy Agency's Hydrogen Implementing Agreement. Regulations will be also mentioned. The fourth chapter describes the framework of the Hydrogen Safety Engineering (H2SE) profession which is defined as an application of scientific and engineering principles to the protection of life, property and environment from adverse effects of incidents/accidents involving hydrogen. Finally a reliable and comprehensive safety risk analysis model has been developed. In the fifth chapter of this thesis there is a summary with the conclusions deducted of this work.
