Abstract:

The risk analysis process is the foundation of creating secure systems. An accurate and well defined risk analysis will therefore be a big help for any company, indicating what resources are needed and where they should be put to use. It can be difficult to know which risk analysis methodology to use given a set of parameters such as available resources, time, money etc. In this review we will introduce several different risk analysis methodologies and classify them using our risk analysis classification system. Our classification points out some of the pros and cons for each method, making it

This study reviews ship security assessment. The objectives are to explore the possibilities for quantifying and performing a more thorough ship security risk analysis than that described in the International Ship and Port Facility Security code and to evaluate to what extent this more detailed analysis increases ship security and facilitate the effective selection of risk control options. The study focuses on Somali-based maritime piracy, using piracy on the Indian Ocean as a case study. Data are collected using questionnaires and interviews with civilian and military security experts who pos

Abstract:

Due to increased supply chain complexity, ensuring the quality of supply materials or products from upstream suppliers has become a challenge for firms. A great deal has been written on possible solutions and strategies to deal with supply chain quality risk (SCQR) in recent years. However, the manager’s decision-making process in relation to SCQR has not been fully researched. To close this gap, the aims of this study were to scrutinise managers’ perceptions of SCQR, as well as the antecedents of and decision-making related to perceived SCQR. The relevant literature was comprehensively review

Thus, the increase in the number of milk cows led to decreased diversity in our income potentially increasing the financial risk of the operation. The p

This paper aims to deliver insights into the field of structuring a business plan for start-up companies and implementing an efficient risk analysis in the course of business planning. In order to achieve this goal, this thesis challenges the theory with practice to equally reflect both perspectives.

Abstract:

Mines have an inherent risk of geotechnical failure in both rock excavations and tailings storage facilities. Geotechnical failure occurs when there is a combination of exceptionally large forces acting on a structure and/or low material strength resulting in the structure not withstanding a designed service load. The excavation of rocks can cause unintended rock mass movements. If the movement is monitored promptly, accidents, loss of ore reserves and equipment, loss of lives, and closure of the mine can be prevented. Mining companies routinely use deformation monitoring to manage the geotech

Abstract:

This project focuses on risk analysis of corporate bond portfolios. We separate the total risk of the portfolio into three parts, which are market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The market risk component is quantified by value-at-risk (VaR) determined by change in yield to maturity of the bond portfolio. For the credit risk component, we calculate default probabilities and losses in the event of default and then compute credit VaR. Next, we define a factor called basis which is the difference between the Credit Default Swap (CDS) spread and its corresponding corporate bond yield spread

Abstract:

The usage of information systems (IS) within organizations has become crucial. Information is one of the most vulnerable resources within an enterprise. Information can be exposed, tampered or made non-accessible, where the integrity, confidentiality or availability becomes affected. The ability to manage risks is therefore a central issue in enterprises today. In order to manage risks, the risks need to be identified and further evaluated. All kind of threats with the possibility to negatively affect the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of the organization need to be reviewed. The

Abstract:

An important objective in statistical risk assessment is estimation of minimum exposure levels, called Benchmark Doses (BMDs), that induce a pre-specified Benchmark Response (BMR) in a target population. Established inferential approaches for BMD analysis typically involve one-sided, frequentist confidence limits, leading in practice to what are called Benchmark Dose Lower Limits (BMDLs). With this context, a quantitative methodology is developed to characterize vulnerability among 132 U.S. urban centers ('cities') to terrorist events, applying a place-based vulnerability index to a database o

Abstract:

Uncertainty in situations involving risk is frequently modelled by assuming a plausible form of probability distribution for the uncertain quantities involved, and estimating the relevant parameters of that distribution based on the knowledge and judgement of informed experts or decision makers. The distributions assumed are usually uni-modal (and often bell-shaped) around some most likely value, with the Normal, Beta, Gamma and Triangular distributions being popular choices.

Abstract:

In this thesis, I study the performance behaviour of hedge funds and mutual funds. I study a basket of various risk statistics that are widely used to measure the fluctuation of asset prices. Those risk statistics are used to rank the performance of the assets. The linear dependence relation of these risk measures in ranking assets is investigated and the set of risk measures is reduced by excluding risk measures that produce linearly dependent ranking vectors to other risk measures. The ranks within each of the selected remaining risk statistics are standardised and then linearly transformed

Abstract:

<p>In our daily life we are surrounded by different kind of risks and we constantly strive for better methods to quantify and in the prolongation manage these risks. Every activity involves some risks and there are some kinds of risks and some level of risks that we are unwilling to accept. We all like to live a life that is free from risks, but that is impossible.</p><p>The word risk has a lot of different interpretations. In this thesis we shall let risk stand for the combination of random or uncertain events with negative consequences for human health, life and welfare and for the environme

Abstract:

The analysis of decision making under risk involves (i) risk assessment - the preparation of appropriate probability assessments of stochastic events; (ii) risk management – the application of quantifiable measures of the impacts of the stochastic events under alternative strategies; and (iii) risk communication – through the governance of structured decision making processes, and tracking and monitoring of the event. This work involves the application of the steps of the risk analysis process on coastal communities facing short-term operational decisions and long-term strategic decisions to d

Abstract:

No<br>The surprise advent of the peer-to-peer payment system Bitcoin in 2009 has raised various concerns regarding its relationship to established economic market ideologies. Unlike fiat currencies, Bitcoin is based on open-source software; it is a secure cryptocurrency, traded as an investment between two individuals over the internet, with no bank involvement. Computationally, this is a very innovative solution, but Bitcoin’s popularity has raised a number of security and trust concerns among mainstream economists. With cities and countries, including San Francisco and Germany, using B

Abstract:

The main purpose of this thesis is to analyze some common risk factors and to propose several useful analytical models for cost overrun risk analysis in transportation infrastructure investments. Probability models and regression models are proposed and partially (due to data insufficiency) applied using the VIHP (Vancouver Island Highway Project) data. The VIHP case study shows that cost overrun ratio increases as project sizes increase for small road/highway projects (budget < $0.25 million) and bridge/tunnel projects (budget >$0.85 million). However for road/highway projects with budgets ov
