Quantitative ECG analysis for individual risk assessment of future myocardial infarct-results from the MARISK study
2002
From 1980 to 1990 the authors performed an epidemiological cohort study in order to explore the predictive power of computer electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements for individual risk assessment of future myocardial infarct in combination with commonly known risk factors. Out of 7542 participants, 83 experienced a myocardial infarct during the course of the study. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that vector cardiogram (VCG) measurements provide significant additional information to risk estimation which is equivalent to that of other risk factors. Measurement changes are stronger risk indicators than single measurements. The results confirm previous findings from H.V. Pipbe…

Can software risk management improve system development: an exploratory study
1997
Software risk management can be defined as an attempt to formalise risk oriented correlates of development success into a readily applicable set of principles and practices. Earlier research suggests that it can reduce the likelihood of a system failure. Using a survey instrument we investigate this claim further. The investigation addresses the following questions: (1) which characteristics of risk management practices; and (2) which other environmental and process factors (such as development methods, manager's experience) relate to improved performance in managing software risks? Our findings support in general the claim that the use of risk management methods improves system development…
Attention Shaping and Software Risk—A Categorical Analysis of Four Classical Risk Management Approaches
1998
This paper examines software risk management in a novel way, emphasizing the ways in which managers address software risks through sequential attention shaping and intervention. Software risks are interpreted as incongruent states within a socio-technical model of organizational change that includes task, structure, technology, and actors. Such incongruence can lead to failures in developing or implementing the system and thus to major losses. Based on this model we synthesize a set of software risk factors and risk resolution techniques, which cover the socio-technical components and their interactions. We use the model to analyze how four classical risk management approaches—McFarlan's p…
Project Risk Register Analysis Based on the Theoretical Analysis of Project Management Notion of Risk
2016
Abstract The aim of the current research is to examine publicly available project risk registers to find correlations between the project management theory, especially project risk management, and practical results of real project risk management – the risk registers publicly available on the Internet. In the research, the author has analysed the compliance between the theories of the project risk management described in the “Aid Delivery Methods. Volume I. Project Cycle Management Guidelines” and “Caltrans Project Risk Management Handbook, Threats and Opportunities, Second Edition, Revision 0” and the project risk registers. In the previous studies, the author concluded that after analysin…

Climate change and risk management policies in viticulture
2022
In recent years, the adverse effects of climate change on agricultural productivity have been increasing dramatically. As a function of this situation, in many ter-ritorial contexts, productivity and profitability decrease due to uncontrollable events. In light of this situation, the entrepreneur should adopt strategies to decrease the risks of climate change and sustain agricultural productivity and farm profitability. The research used case studies of several wine-growing facilities of companies located in the Mediterranean area. The study estimated the losses of productivity and thus income due to climate change, which is occurring with increasing in-tensity. Subsequently, through the in…
Fuzzy cognitive maps for knowledge-oriented human risk management in industry
2021
This contribution proposes an integrated approach making use of Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) to organise in a flexibleway human knowledge about decision-making (DM) problems of interest in industry. By modelling human reasoning, FCMs allow to represent real phenomena on the basis of spontaneous human brainstorming on relations between pairs of relevant DM elements. Because of its characteristics, the use of FCMs can be effective to model DM problems such as human risk management, particularly critical in the industrial business sector. After identifying human risks in the existing literature, FCMs will be used to define relations among risks, which will be later prioritised by means of a mod…
Stochastic debt sustainability analysis for sovereigns and the scope for optimization modeling
2017
We express the opinion that sovereign debt sustainability analysis must be augmented by stochastic correlated risk factors and a risk measure to capture tail effects. Crisis situations can thus be adequately specified and analyzed with sufficient accuracy to warrant the relevance of policy decisions. In this context there is significant scope for optimization modeling for both strategic planning and operational management. We discuss diverse aspects of the problem of debt sustainability and highlight modeling approaches that can be brought to bear on the problem. Results with the fictitiuous, but nor unrealistic, Kingdom of Atlantis, which is sinking under excessive debt, illustrate the pro…
Derivative Disclosure Practices in the Annual Financial Reporting of Large European Banks: A Cross-country Empirical Study
2018
The topic of this paper is derivative reporting in banking. The authors employ content analysis to conduct an empirical study on a sample of large European banks. The research aims to assess the qualitative and quantitative profiles of derivative disclosure in banking institutions. The paper provides evidences that banks differ in their derivative reporting, even though they are subject to similar regulatory requirements and accounting standards. The paper also shows that there is room to improve various aspects of derivatives disclosure in banking.
