Security risk assessment is an important task in systems engineering. It used to derive security requirements for a secure system design and evaluate alternatives as well vulnerabilities. also complex interdisciplinary task, where experts from the application domain have collaborate understand each other. Automated tool-supported approaches are desired help manage complexity. However, models en...

The problems of combating corruption in the system higher education have not been studied enough. authors earlier studies considered based on traditional ideas about zones risk, methods recognizing signs corruption, and their subject composition. Digital technologies being introduced into management control impact circumstances that contribute to commission offenses at university. composition o...

In supervised learning one wishes to identify a pattern present in a joint distribution P , of instances, label pairs, by providing a function f from instances to labels that has low risk EP `(y, f(x)). To do so, the learner is given access to n iid samples drawn from P . In many real world problems clean samples are not available. Rather, the learner is given access to samples from a corrupted...

We analyze the dependence of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP ) per capita growth rates on changes in the Corruption Perceptions Index (CPI). For the period 1999–2004 for all countries in the world, we find on average that an increase of CPI by one unit leads to an increase of the annual GDP per capita growth rate by 1.7%. By regressing only the European countries with transition economies, we f...

BACKGROUND Information on the global risk factors of children mortality is crucial to guide global efforts to improve survival. Corruption has been previously shown to significantly impact on child mortality. However no recent quantification of its current impact is available. METHODS The impact of corruption was assessed through crude Pearson's correlation, univariate and multivariate linear...

ion as supported by Rigi merged with the SHriMP capabilities of nested graphs would be a nice start. We have pointed out the importance of keeping focus and context while carrying operations that affect the graph structure. When having to understand small portions of large graphs, these operation features help raise model comprehension by reducing confusion by sudden changes of the layout.

Fifteen-year trends in occupational asthma: data from the Shield surveillance scheme. cross-reactivity between nickel and chromium salts in electroplating-induced asthma. Many years ago, I had the responsibility once a month of doing a tuberculosis clinic in deepest West Virginia. The s...

Risk assessment is a reasoned, structured approach to address uncertainty based on scientific and technical evidence. It forms the foundation for regulatory decision-making, which is bound by legislative and policy requirements, as well as the need for making timely decisions using available resources. In order to be most useful, environmental risk assessments (ERAs) for genetically modified (G...

This paper analyses the anti-corruption activities of 24 transition countries in the period 1999-2002. These activities are divided into omnibus anti-corruption programmes, legislative reform aimed at tackling corruption, and adherence to international anti-corruption conventions. The paper presents a new measure for determining the extent of anti-corruption activity undertaken in these three c...
