7.5, the first step to investigate a bank’s resilience from an economic capital perspective is to identify the set of macroeconomic variables affecting its balance sheet and profit and loss. A Monte Carlo simulation process is at the very heart of the entire risk integration method. In more ...
[5]. During the pandemic, along with the non-COVID critically ill patients, COVID-19 patients were also transferred to ICU [6], which resulted in the demand for ICU resources substantially increasing, exceeding the capacity in many healthcare systems [7]. ICUs are costly and time-sensitive...
Risk assessment documents prove that people can get cancer if they drink arsenic-contaminated water. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer has surpassed heart disease to become the leading cause of death worldwide. The rate of death from cancer in 2008 accounted for 13% and ...

Risk of ruin is defined as the probability of costs exceeding revenues by at least 5% for a health plan of size 10,000 members. The first two rows of Table 4.1 characterize the “touch” of reinsurance in terms of people and dollars. At a high attachment point of $1 million, only ...
Consider this counterfactual scenario, whereby 1oC of warming has occurred over the past 100 years owing to natural processes (such a rate of warming is far from unprecedented in the Holocene; notably the period following the Younger Dryas). Would people necessarily think that warming was “bad”...
The mean (SD) inspiratory muscle strength, assessed by measuring the Pi-max at residual volume, increased significantly from 81.1 (29.5) cm H2O at baseline to 95.6 (31.6) cm H2O (P < .001) at the end of the preoperative training period in the IMT group, but not in the usual care ...
Binary actions occur by exceeding thresholds that may be heterogeneous and susceptible to dispositional contagion. Epstein’s agent i takes action F at time t if her total disposition \(\Delta _{F,it}\) toward that action goes beyond the threshold \(T_F\): $$\begin{aligned} \Delta _{F...
All the participants had been driving for more than two years, with a driving mileage exceeding 20,000 km. They were in good physical and mental health, with no eye diseases, and could make independent decisions. And Informed consent was obtained from all subjects and/or their legal guardian...
Since θ tp varies among individuals, we selected an approximate overall value θ max below 0.25 and above the average θ tp of the 90% of positives with smaller θ tp , corresponding to that around which the number of positives presented a minimal variation. From now on, the presences of...
