“…The unification process based on meaning consolidation of strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. Consequently, we used all experts' answers and formulated 40 representative ones which cover semantically the entire SWOT output (Patching et al, 2006, Bouma, 2006. The output served for formulation of means and manners to ensure the continuity in the face of COVID-19 and future epidemics in the light of societal security management.…”

Purpose:The research objective is the question "How to manage societal security in COVID-19 conditions from the perspective of operational continuity of fire rescue service?" Design/Methodology/Approach: In order to achieve the research objective, the qualitative method was used. The research materials was collected using the SWOT analysis. We involved 99 fire rescue experts in SWOT analysis to identify the continuity factors. Basing on 3731 elementary results, we unified them to the reference 40 (10 per each SWOT category). This gave us a background to formulate specific and general manners to ensure the security. The collected empirical data was processed using the methods of analysis, synthesis and comparison to form conclusions. Deductive and inductive inference methods enabled the presentation of a comprehensive approach to social safety management. Findings: Specific methods relate to SWOT results, risk specifications and service conditions. Particular attention should be paid to physical isolation, organizational flexibility, personal protective equipment, training and access to up-to-date information on the outbreak. The research results can be used in scientific works, as well as in expert opinions for the needs of public administration units, in particular for the improvement of the management process of fire protection units. Practical Implications: The study will positively influence the understanding of the needs of various participants in the safety management process, both in the current functioning of the organization and in crisis situations. Originality/ Value: The study is an opportunity to present a comprehensive approach to managing social security in the face of COVID-19 and future epidemics. It covers risk management, operational continuity, and the safety and well-being of firefighters. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first study to present such an approach.

“…In the present analysis, as in many formalisms introduced to handle phenomena which are taken to be problematic for strict compositionality, unification (Bouma 2006) is applied. It is argued that the multiple markers of causality may be unified, merging multiple occurrences of variables and predicates into one.…”

The German causal preposition durch ('by', 'by means of', 'through') specifies the nature of the causing event in a causal relation between events. In combination with a causative predicate, durch simply contributes additional information concerning the causing event in the causal relation expressed by the predicate. When combined with a non-causative change of state predicate, however, durch may also introduce such a causal relation by itself. It is shown that modelling this varying contribution of durch poses a challenge to formal-semantic analyses applying mechanisms of strict compositionality such as functional application. An alternative formalism based on recent developments in Discourse Representation Theory is developed, including unification as a mode of composition as well as a more elaborate analysis of presuppositional phenomena. It is further argued that the analysis can be restated in pragmatic terms, providing an argument for presuppositions applying solely to the sentence-internal level.
