Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

In every decision problem there are things we know and things we do not know. Risk analysis science uses the best available evidence to assess what we know while it is carefully intentional in the way it addresses the importance of the things we do not know in the evaluation of decision choices and decision outcomes. The field of risk analysis science continues to expand and grow and the second edition of Principles of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty responds to this evolution with several significant changes. The language has been updated and expanded throughout the text and the book features several new areas of expansion including five new chapters. The book’s simple and straightforward style—based on the author’s decades of experience as a risk analyst trainer and educator—strips away the mysterious aura that often accompanies risk analysis. Features: Details the tasks of risk management risk assessment and risk communication in a straightforward conceptual manner Provides sufficient detail to empower professionals in any discipline to become risk practitioners Expands the risk management emphasis with a new chapter to serve private industry and a growing public sector interest in the growing practice of enterprise risk management Describes dozens of quantitative and qualitative risk assessment tools in a new chapter Practical guidance and ideas for using risk science to improve decisions and their outcomes is found in a new chapter on decision making under uncertainty Practical methods for helping risk professionals to tell their risk story are the focus of a new chapter Features an expanded set of examples of the risk process that demonstrate the growing applications of risk analysis As before this book continues to appeal to professionals who want to learn and apply risk science in their own professions as well as students preparing for professional careers. This book remains a discipline free guide to the principles of risk analysis that is accessible to all interested practitioners. Files used in the creation of this book and additional exercises as well as a free student version of Palisade Corporation’s Decision Tools Suite software are available with the purchase of this book. A less detailed introduction to the risk analysis science tasks of risk management risk assessment and risk communication is found in Primer of Risk Analysis: Decision Making Under Uncertainty Second Edition ISBN: 978-1-138-31228-9. | Principles of Risk Analysis Decision Making Under Uncertainty

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapies for Autoimmune Diseases

Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapies for Autoimmune Diseases

This book summarizes the global progress in medical and scientific research toward converting traditionally chronic autoimmune diseases into a drug-free reversible illness using hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) and other cellular therapies such as T regulatory cells (Treg) mesenchymal stromal/stem cells and chimeric antigen receptor T (CAR T) cells in order to reintroduce sustained immune tolerance. This title provides information on different types of stem cells and immune cells; post-transplant immune regeneration; cellular regulatory requirements; ethical and economic considerations; and the advantages and disadvantages of HSCT in the treatment of a variety of autoimmune diseases versus current conventional treatments. Arranged by disease the text provides a comprehensive guide to HSCT for all types of autoimmune/immune disorders including monogenetic autoimmune diseases; autoimmune aplastic anemia; neurologic immune diseases including multiple sclerosis chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy neuromyelitis optica and stiff person syndrome; rheumatologic diseases such as systemic sclerosis and systemic lupus erythematosus; dermatologic diseases such as pemphigus; gastrointestinal disorders such as Crohn’s disease and celiac disease; and immune-mediated endocrinologic disease type I diabetes mellitus. Guidance is provided on the transplantation technique cell collection and processing conditioning regimens infections and early and late complications. Key Features Outlines therapies and techniques for HSCT for autoimmune diseases Discusses the advantages of HSCT over conventional therapies Reviews the entire process of stem cell therapy from harvest and ethics to indications efficacy and regulatory oversight | Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation and Cellular Therapies for Autoimmune Diseases

Routledge Handbook of Foreign Policy Analysis Methods

Routledge Handbook of Foreign Policy Analysis Methods

The disintegration and questioning of global governance structures and a re-orientation toward national politics combined with the spread of technological innovations such as big data social media and phenomena like fake news populism or questions of global health policies make it necessary for the introduction of new methods of inquiry and the adaptation of established methods in Foreign Policy Analysis (FPA). This accessible handbook offers concise chapters from expert international contributors covering a diverse range of new and established FPA methods. Embracing methodological pluralism and a belief in the value of an open discussion about methods’ assumptions and diverging positions it provides new state-of-the-art research approaches as well as introductions to a range of established methods. Each chapter follows the same approach introducing the method and its development discussing strengths requirements limitations and potential pitfalls while illustrating the method’s application using examples from empirical research. Embracing methodological pluralism and problem-oriented research that engages with real-world questions the authors examine quantitative and qualitative traditions rationalist and interpretivist perspectives as well as different substantive backgrounds. The book will be of interest to a wide range of scholars and students in global politics foreign policy and methods-related classes across the social sciences.

Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice

Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice

The fundamental function of buildings is to provide safe and healthy shelter. For the fortunate they also provide comfort and delight. In the twentieth century comfort became a 'product' produced by machines and run on cheap energy. In a world where fossil fuels are becoming ever scarcer and more expensive and the climate more extreme the challenge of designing comfortable buildings today requires a new approach. This timely book is the first in a trilogy from leaders in the field which will provide just that. It explains in a clear and comprehensible manner how we stay comfortable by using our bodies minds buildings and their systems to adapt to indoor and outdoor conditions which change with the weather and the climate. The book is in two sections. The first introduces the principles on which the theory of adaptive thermal comfort is based. The second explains how to use field studies to measure thermal comfort in practice and to analyze the data gathered. Architects have gradually passed responsibility for building performance to service engineers who are largely trained to see comfort as the �product� designed using simplistic comfort models. The result has contributed to a shift to buildings that use ever more energy. A growing international consensus now calls for low-energy buildings. This means designers must first produce robust passive structures that provide occupants with many opportunities to make changes to suit their environmental needs. Ventilation using free natural energy should be preferred and mechanical conditioning only used when the climate demands it. This book outlines the theory of adaptive thermal comfort that is essential to understand and inform such building designs. This book should be required reading for all students teachers and practitioners of architecture building engineering and management � for all who have a role in producing and occupying twenty-first century adaptive low-car | Adaptive Thermal Comfort: Principles and Practice

The Routledge Handbook of Commodification

The Routledge Handbook of Commodification

Some goods are freely traded as commodities without question or controversy. For other goods their commodification – their being made available in exchange for money or their being subject to market valuation and exchange – is hotly contested. “Contested” commodities range from labour and land to votes healthcare and education to human organs gametes and intimate services to parks and emissions. But in the context of a market economy what distinguishes these goods as non-commodifiable or what defines them as contestable commodities? And why should their status as such justify restricting the market choices of rationally consenting parties to otherwise voluntary exchanges? This volume draws together wide-ranging interdisciplinary research on the legitimate scope of markets and the kinds of goods that should be exempt therefrom. In bringing diverse answers to this question together for the first time it finally identifies commodification studies as a unique field of scholarly research in its own right. In so doing it fosters interdisciplinary dialogue advances scholarship and enhances education in this controversial important and growing field of research. Contemporary theorists who examine this question do so from across the disciplinary spectrum and ground their answers in diverse scholarly literature and divergent methodological approaches. Their arguments will be of interest to scholars and students of philosophy economics law political science sociology policy feminist theory and ecology among others. The contributors to this volume take diverse and divergent positions on the benefits of markets in general and on the possible harms of specific contested markets in particular. While some favour free markets and others regulation or prohibition and while some engage in more normative and others in more empirical analysis the contributors all advance nuanced and thoughtful arguments that engage deeply with the complex set of moral and empirical questions at the heart of commodification studies. This volume collects their new and provocative work together for the first time. | The Routledge Handbook of Commodification

The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Economic Systems

The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Economic Systems

The Routledge Handbook of Comparative Economic Systems examines the institutional bases of economies and the different ways in which economic activity can function be organized and governed. It examines the complexity of this academic and research field assessing the place of comparative economic studies within economics paying due attention to future perspectives and presenting critically important questions analytical methods and relative approaches. This complements the recent revival of the systemic view of economic governance which was accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic and likely even more the renewed East-West clash epitomized by the Russian invasion of Ukraine and the West’s reaction to it. The Handbook is divided into five parts. Each part deals with an issue of relevance for the discipline. The first and second parts look at the subject content and approach of the discipline and its comparative method. The third part looks at the idiosyncratic nature of different economic systems and their constituent elements. The fourth part considers the outcomes that different economic systems generate and how these outcomes change following the evolution and transformation of economic systems. The last part takes stock and looks ahead at the challenges from a theoretical and applied perspective and the exogenous and endogenous factors promoting the advancement of the discipline including the interaction between and competition among varied approaches and opposing paradigms. The Handbook brings together leading international contributors to reflect on the relevant debates and case or country studies provides a balanced overview of the results achieved and current knowledge as well as evolving issues and new fields of research. The book provides researchers students and analysts with a complete critical and forward-looking presentation and analysis of the content development challenges and perspectives of comparative economic studies.
