La sicurezza del paziente in ambiente ospedaliero e la responsabilità professionale dei vertici strategici

2016

[Patient safety in the hospital setting and the professional responsibilities of top managers] The authors underline the evolution of legislation concerning the creation of Hospital Companies and the reasons for the implementation of clinical risk management activities, then analyse the responsibilities involving the top figures of the top hospital management. In particular, the authors highlight the obligation and responsibilities of the strategic apex of a Hospital Company and show that, sometimes, the technical consultants – who express a medical-legal advice – underestimate the responsibility of these figures. It is a management responsibility that determines the obvious and inevitable …

Latvijā esošu starptautisko uzņēmumu riska vadība

2018

Risks ir neatņemama daļa no sabiedrības ekonomiskās, politiskās un sociālās dzīves, kas nepārprotami ir saistīta ar visām tirgus funkcionēšanas un darbības jomām. Šajā sakarā mūsdienu galvenais kritērijs ir augstākās pārvaldīšabas spēja, balstoties uz zinātnisku pamatu, lai prognozētu, novērstu, kontrolētu un racionāli novērstu riskus. Risks ir cieši saistīts ar pārvaldīšanu un atkarīgs no lēmumu efektivitātes savlaicīguma un lietderīguma. Bkalaura darba tēma ir riska vadība starptautiskajās kompānijās Latvijā. Bakalaura darba mērķis ir analizēt teorētiskus uzskatus un praktiskas darbības riska vadības procesā starptautiskās kompānijās, lai varētu indentificēt potenciālās problēmas. Teorēti…

Risk based Fatigue Inspection Planning – State of the Art

2013

AbstractThe present paper presents the methodology and the practical calculations for risk based inspection planning of fatigue cracks in welded offshore steel structures. Due to the uncertainty in the variables involved in the problem the planning has to be carried out by stochastic modeling and risk based assessments. Scatter in potential crack growth has to be analyzed by applied probabilistic facture mechanics and the uncertainty in the performance of the actual inspection technique has to be determined. With given risk acceptance criteria the practical outcome of the analyses is recommended inspection techniques and associated planned inspection time intervals. The classical theory is …

Risk Assessment of Physical Security within a Technologized Knowledge Based Organization

2019

The purpose of this scientific paper is to support the decisionmaking process on the risk management based on the results of an analysis and subsequently on the risks hierarchy. This assessment involves the comparison of the level of risk determined by the analysis with the risk criteria developed in the context of the establishment phase. This scientific paper on assessing and treating risks to physical security has been developed to identify, assess and quantify the associated risk in a technologizedknowledge-based organization. The basis of this study on the assessment and treatment of risks to physical security is to identify specific potential risks as well as the emergency response pr…

Risk Analysis of Human Anisakidosis Through the Consumption of the Blue Whiting, Micromesistius poutassou, Sold at Spanish Supermarkets

2012

European legislation directed at the catering industry concerning the prevention of anisakidosis proposes efficient measures to avoid human infestation, but this legislation does not directly address the consumer at the household level. Assessing the anisakidosis risk for consumers who buy fresh fish at supermarkets in Spain, 284 blue whiting, Micromesistius poutassou, specimens, originating from two fishing zones and seasons of capture, sold at five nationwide Spanish supermarket chains, were examined to identify the presence of anisakid species and analyze their prevalence and abundance in viscera and flesh. The potential influence of intrinsic (length and weight) and extrinsic (origin, s…

Risk-benefit in food safety and nutrition - outcome of the 2019 Parma Summer School

2021

Risk-benefit assessment is the comparison of the risk of a situation to its related benefits, i.e. a comparison of scenarios estimating the overall health impact. The risk–benefit analysis paradigm mirrors the classical risk analysis one: risk–benefit assessment goes hand-in-hand with risk–benefit management and risk–benefit communication. The various health effects associated with food consumption, together with the increasing demand for advice on healthy and safe diets, have led to the development of different research disciplines in food safety and nutrition. In this sense, there is a clear need for a holistic approach, including and comparing all of the relevant health risks and benefit…

Cyber-Security in Digital Metering Value Chain for Mountain Landslide Warning

2021

The Norwegian Water Resources and Energy Directorate (NVE) are initiating a digitalization process that involves the use of a digital metering value chain and cloud computing. The main objective of this study is to investigate how NVE can ensure cyber-security in digital meters and the cloubased metering value chain for mountain landslide warning. The study is based on a qualitative approach including methods like document analysis and semi structured interviews used as input to a risk analysis based on the ISO 31000 standard. The risk analysis covered three different scenarios from NVE. Those three scenarios were internal, external Norwegian, and transnational value chains for metering lan…

Risk Assessment of Toxicants to Pelagic Food-Webs: A Simulation Study

1991

For a generalized mathematical model of the pelagic compartment of a lake ecosystem we show that a small variance in input parameters may result in a large variance in predicted biomasses. Since input parameters for this kind of models always show a great variance, we conclude that deterministic prediction of biomass-trajectories is rather useless and demonstrate how stochastic analysis of the model may lead to a helpful risk analysis.

A critical review on supply chain risk – Definition, measure and modeling

2015

Abstract Economic systems are increasingly prone to complexity and uncertainty. Therefore, making well-informed decisions requires risk analysis, control and mitigation. In some areas such as finance, insurance, crisis management and health care, the importance of considering risk is largely acknowledged and well-elaborated, yet rather heterogeneous concepts and approaches for risk management have been developed. The increased frequency and the severe consequences of past supply chain disruptions have resulted in an increasing interest in risk. This development has led to the adoption of the risk concepts, terminologies and methods from related fields. In this paper, existing approaches for…
