Abstract:

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the role of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened Species in achieving biodiversity conservation and preventing the extinction of species. The Red List is a calculative device that classifies species in terms of their exposure to the risk of extinction. Design/methodology/approach The paper draws on theorising in the Social Studies of Finance literature to analyse the Red List in terms of how it frames a space of calculability for species extinction. The analysis then traces the ways that this framin

Abstract:

This paper provides an argument against understanding risk-taking in design education as something ideally in need of only being calculable and formalisable. Using the German sociologist Ulrich Beck’s theory on risktaking combined with the current discourse on design thinking, together with an analysis of a three week-long interdisciplinary design workshop, we analyse and discuss how risk-taking - as a general concept - in design education is an inherent element of the education itself. We argue, however, non-calculable risks, like human-centred design concerns, like desirability of use, ethic

Abstract:

Abstract People have always lived under conditions of uncertainty. But how to deal with uncertainty and how security is produced varies depending on the social formation. This paper deals with the handling of uncertainty in modern societies. Modern societies always try to conceptualize uncertainties as action-related, responsible and calculable/predictable ‘risks’. This was a quite successful approach for a long time. However, under the conditions of ‘risk society’, this approach is increasingly difficult to work. Especially in the case of ‘new risks’, the attempt to conceptualize any uncertai

Abstract:

AbstractKatzenstein and Seybert's Protean Power offers a fresh perspective on the concept of power in international relations (IR) theory. Standard IR theory defines power as control power, which exists in the world of calculable risk. But IR must also grapple with protean power, which exists in the world of incalculable uncertainty. In this symposium, scholars representing a variety of theoretical perspectives evaluate the concept of protean power as it stands now and as it should develop in the future.

Such a divide is crucial in explaining the differences in risk approach and risk processes in the banking industry. The discussion presented is based on the results of 25 semi-structured interviews.

Introduction: Major abdominal emergency surgery (MAES) patients have a high risk of mortality and complications. The time-sensitive nature of MAES necessitates an easily calculable risk-scoring tool.

We aimed to evaluate SI’s usefulness in predicting postoperative mortality, acute kidney injury (AKI), requirements for intensive care unit (ICU) and high-dependency monitoring, and the ICU length of stay (LOS).

Nondestructive evaluation (NDE) plays a crucial role in ensuring aircraft availability. The current NDE paradigm often relies on mono-modal testing and signal-over-threshold criteria to provide robust defect or damage detection, not characterization. One example is found in the risk-based management of surface-breaking cracks in metal, where cracks of a given size can be detected by eddy current testing (ECT) with a calculable probability. Yet, there are cases where detection proves insufficient. Consider the case of microtexture regions (MTR) found in certain titanium alloys, which can increa

Abstract:

Category: Ankle Introduction/Purpose: Postoperative functional outcomes are important measures as the orthopaedic community responds to pay-for-performance and bundled payments. Considering the 1000-fold growth of total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) procedures in the Medicare population in the past two decades, this procedure will likely undergo increasing scrutiny of quality under Medicare Access and Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2015(MACRA). While BMI, coronal plane deformity, age, and rheumatoid arthritis influence outcomes and rate of complications after TAA, there

Purpose The prognosis of acute- and lymphoma-type adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) is poor, but there is marked diversity in survival outcomes. The aim of this study was to develop a prognostic index (PI) for acute- and lymphoma-type ATL (ATL-PI). Patients and Methods In a retrospective review, data from 807 patients newly diagnosed with acute- and lymphoma-type ATL between January 2000 and May 2009 were evaluated. We randomly divided subjects into training (n = 404) and validation (n = 403) samples, and developed a PI using a multivariable fractional polynomial model. Results Median overa

Background/objectives: Kawasaki disease is the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children within developed countries. Although treatment with intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) significantly reduces the incidence of coronary artery aneurysm (CAA), the risk of it persists, affecting long-term patient outcomes. While intensified primary treatment is recommended for patients at high risk of IVIG resistance or CAA development, a universally accepted predictive model for such resistance remains unestablished. This study aims to develop a machine learning model to predict the occurrence of C

Abstract:

What is the quality of justice? As Melcarne and Ramello (2019) have recently pointed out, there is no clear interaction between quality and quantity in understanding or measuring judicial performance. However, the lack of human resources is often blamed for delays in the delivery of decisions (quantity) in most judicial systems - and could in fact mean a violation of the principle of due process. However, the study shows how difficult it is to assess quality, since even quantity (in fact calculable) cannot always be a trustful variable to measure it. In Spain, it is possible to assume that pen

Background and Objectives: The geriatric nutritional risk index (GNRI) is an easily calculable index that can be determined using three common clinical variables. The GNRI is suggested to be related to sarcopenia in cirrhotic patients. However, the relationship between the GNRI and the prognosis in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) has not been reported. The aim of the present research is to study the association of the GNRI with the nutritional status, hepatic function reserve, and prognosis in patients with liver cirrhosis (LC).

AbstractEven though in recent years the number of transoral spinal interventions has decreased in Europe and North America – mainly because of the progress in the drug therapy of rheumatism, there are still pathologies that can only be addressed by a transoral approach. The classical transoral approach can be expanded in collaboration with oral-maxillofacial surgery and ear, nose and throat surgery, but this is rarely necessary. The transoral approach is now mainly used for resection of pathological tissue. Additional stabilisation is often necessary and is performed in Europe and North Americ

IntroductionMany patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) experience a sustained worsening in symptoms termed an acute exacerbation (AECOPD). AECOPDs impact on patients’ quality of life and lung function, are costly to health services and are an important topic for research. Electronic health records (EHR) are increasingly being used to study AECOPD, requiring accurate detection of AECOPD in EHRs to ensure generalisable results. The aim of this protocol is to provide an overview of studies that validate AECOPD definitions used in EHRs and administrative claims databases.Metho

Numerous pre-transplant risk scores have been developed to predict post-transplant outcome, utilizing a variety of parameters. The purpose of this single-center study was to retrospectively develop and validate a prognostic score based on known significant pre-transplant variables for outcomes of 747 patients that underwent HCT for AML between 1978 and 2013.
