The names of the insurgent groups include historical, cultural, ethnic, territorial and doctrinal references
that appear too specific to be considered accidental and thus could be indicative of their strategy. The

The global terrorist and extremist threat is likely to persist in 2019 as the Islamic State (IS) go through a phase of re-adaptation and de-centralisation. The group has established clandestine and underground structures to survive in Iraq and Syria. Its ideology is still intact and continues to be propagated in cyber space. In the provinces, group...
Scopo: In questa tesi sperimentale verrà analizzata la sicurezza intesa come safety e security in Manifestazioni Pubbliche e Pubblici eventi, e quale sia la preparazione degli operatori di prima linea a rispondere a incidenti rilevanti e fronteggiare la minaccia attuale del terrorismo.

Social protection programmes require processing significant data amounts, including
often-sensitive information such as household assets, health status and physical or
intellectual disabilities. Increasingly, social protection programmes use unique, intimate
biometric-technology data such as fingerprints, iris structure and face topologies.

This paper presents an ontology that involves using information from various sources from different disciplines and combining it in order to predict whether a given person is in a radicalization process. The purpose of the ontology is to improve the early detection of radicalization in persons, thereby contributing to increasing the extent to which the unwanted escalation of radicalization processes can be prevented. The ontology combines findings related to existential anxiety that are related to political radicalization with well-known criminal profiles or radicalization findings. The software Protégé, delivered by the technical field at Stanford University, including the SPARQL tab, is used to develop and test the ontology. The testing, which involved five models, showed that the ontology could detect individuals according to “risk profiles” for subjects based on existential anxiety. SPARQL queries showed an average detection probability of 5% including only a risk population and 2% on a whole test population. Testing by using machine learning algorithms proved that inclusion of less than four variables in each model produced unreliable results. This suggest that the Ontology Framework to Facilitate Early Detection of ’Radicalization’ (OFEDR) ontology risk model should consist of at least four variables to reach a certain level of reliability. Analysis shows that use of a probability based on an estimated risk of terrorism may produce a gap between the number of subjects who actually have early signs of radicalization and those found by using probability estimates for extremely rare events. It is reasoned that an ontology exists as a world three object in the real world.
