This paper critically reviews various analytical methods that are currently used for determination of the above parameters, as well as their implications for environmental risk assessment of acid sulfate soi1s.展开更多

In this context, the key concepts related to fraud and internal control systems are presented first. After the introduction, the relation between fraud and internal control systems is elaborated, and the method for establishing an effective internal control system which is needed to detect and prevent fraud is explained. As for the conclusion, the study connects the effectiveness of the internal control system with the effectiveness of the elements which compose the system, and provides some suggestions for increasing the efficacy of the elements which compose the system, such as control environment, risk analysis, information-communication, control activities, and monitoring.展开更多

A proposal of assessment of the vulnerability of the environment and community is presented here under a holistic perspective using fuzzy logic as a formal tool. An internal factor of the risk of a system under a given threat is assessed. Risk is considered as the union between the threat and the vulnerability of the environment and community. This approach shows that the reduction in either or both of them makes a reduction in the risk content as well. The main purpose of this proposal is not to obtain a single value as output; in fact the result is a map which can contribute to the different areas of the community in decision making.展开更多

Based on big data technology, more and more health information platforms are beginning to take effects, such as disease prevention, precision medicine, reducing expenditures for medical care and public health, improving medicine research and development. Meanwhile, the platforms have to face a lot of risks, such as health data disclosure, dispute of health data ownership, implicit contradiction explicit, unsustainable platform operation and so on. With the solutions of these risks, the construction of the public platform can provide better service for the citizens, hospital, pharmaceutical company, R＆D institutions or and other parties.展开更多

The ERT means the expected time that takes for an objective valiable to reach a target value. To deal with the environmental risk involved in the process, the expectation maximizing strategy may be the most well known. However, for many cases the dominance strategy rather than the expectation maximizing strategy is adopted and works very well. In this paper we first prove rigorously that minimization of the ERT is equivalent to the dominance criterion in the infinite period. Then we demonstrate by simulation that the ERT gives almost equal evaluation as the dominance criterion even for the finite multiplications, after showing that it is approximately proportional to the logarithm of the target value.展开更多
