A study of role of International bodies to terrorism: Existing Strategies and gap”
Nuclear Transparency Watch (NTW) is a European network that promotes transparency and public participation in nuclear safety issues. It was established in 2013 and has over 40 member organizations from 18 European countries. NTW works to improve nuclear safety through various working groups focused on issues like emergency preparedness, radioactive waste management, and decommissioning. NTW also aims to bring the voice of civil society into European decision-making on nuclear energy and supports national organizations seeking greater transparency. One of NTW's working groups conducted a year-long study of emergency preparedness and response across 10 European countries, identifying inconsistencies between countries and a need for more realistic planning and public involvement.
The document outlines recommendations for strengthening security cooperation between the EU and Eastern Partnership countries. It recommends: 1) Involving Eastern Partnership countries in discussions on the new EU Security Strategy to address shared security threats; 2) Launching programs to build confidence and support post-conflict reconciliation; 3) Establishing crisis management and intelligence sharing mechanisms. It provides more detailed recommendations in the fields of defense, economics, energy, resolving frozen conflicts, and countering propaganda. The overall aim is to modernize the European Neighborhood Policy's security aspects in response to regional threats like the conflict in Ukraine.

Ce fascicule constitue une synthèse des principaux chiffres concernant la défense. Il présente les données budgétaires, les effectifs, les équipements en dotation dans les armées ainsi que les forces déployées en opération.
The document discusses reinforcing the environmental dimensions of European foreign and security policy. It argues that acknowledging the role of the environment and ecosystems in underpinning security requires a more holistic approach that integrates environmental concerns. The document recommends several concrete steps, including investing in environmental diplomacy, improving monitoring of environmental security risks, and ensuring EU funding supports environmental and climate security goals. It also recommends practical actions for defense and military, such as capacity building on the environment-conflict linkages and integrating climate adaptation into security missions.
This document summarizes the evolution of national cyber security strategies in the European Union and elsewhere. It finds that while some of the earliest strategies focused narrowly on specific issues, over the past decade EU member states have increasingly published comprehensive national cyber security strategies. The document reviews strategies published by Estonia, Finland, Slovakia, Czech Republic, France and Germany between 2008-2011. These strategies generally aim to strengthen cyber security through regulation, education, cooperation, prevention of attacks and failures, and protection of critical infrastructure and citizens. The document concludes by observing common themes and providing recommendations.
The document summarizes information about Monumentenwacht, an organization established in 1991 in Flanders, Belgium to monitor and preserve cultural heritage buildings. It discusses Monumentenwacht's mission of preventative conservation, provides statistics on its members and monitored buildings, and describes the services it offers owners like assessments, reports, and training. The organization aims to better educate the public on maintenance and faces challenges like maintaining expertise as employees change and relying on government funding.
The document discusses the possibility of common security criteria in the European Union. It acknowledges that national security is the responsibility of each member state, but argues the EU could pursue common policies and actions to safeguard its values, fundamental interests, security, independence and integrity. The document proposes common criteria for identifying critical infrastructure that is essential across multiple EU nations. Finally, it suggests building on converging national practices and instruments to enhance compatibility and integration of security capabilities and procedures across countries.
The document discusses the possibility of common security criteria in the European Union. It acknowledges that national security is the responsibility of each member state, but identifies some areas where common criteria could be developed, including:
1) Ensuring the security and integrity of the EU as a whole.
2) Improving cooperation between member states on civil protection from natural and man-made disasters.
3) Taking a comprehensive approach to security issues that affect the EU and its neighborhood.
One specific example discussed is developing common criteria for classifying critical infrastructure that would be essential to maintain societal functions across multiple EU countries. However, the document also notes some limits to developing fully comprehensive common security policies.

What is the current Synthetic opioid situation in Europe? How can countries be better prepared and equipped for a continued rise in synthetic opioid prevalence, use, and incidents?
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

National Defence Courses
2. Why? - Some words about the History
During the Second World War the
entire Finnish society was forced
to co-operate in order to maintain
activities of vital importance and
to secure the living standards of
the citizens.
The readiness of the civilian
sector was partially inadequate
for functional requirements set by
the war.
As a result military officers were
posted to leading positions in
many of those organizations to
maintain the activities of vital
importance.
