Aside from objectives the book is a reflection of many years of research preceding Habilitation proper in the field of efficiency measurement. Regarding the subject matter the main intention was to fill an...

Risk Management and the Environment: Agriculture in Perspective is a modern academic work that seeks to bring out both to the private and the policy sectors the importance of risk management in relation to the envi- ronment in agriculture, as the world moves towards freer markets.

Probably deeming the proposal as prematurely novel for Europe, the Commission's screening...

Risk and Medical Decision Making
ISBN: 9781402070075 / Angielski / Twarda / 135 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. For people interested in risk management, medical activity represents a stimulating field of study and thought. On the one hand, progress in medical knowledge and technology tends to reduce the risks to survival that individuals would face in the absence of appropriate diagnostic or therapeutic instruments. On the other hand, new medical technologies simultaneously create their own specific risks, sometimes simply because their effects are less well-known than those of established ones. In a sense any medical progress simultaneously generates new risks while destroying old ones. Moreover,...
