   Sammanfattning : When assessing the risk of violence, increasing interest has been shown in bringing science and practice closer together. Moving from clinical intuition in the first generation of risk assessment via actuarial scales in the second generation to the structured professional judgments where risk assessments are today produces better, more valid results when assessing the risk of violence.

5. 4. Micro-level claims reserving in non-life insurance

   Författare :Felix Wahl; Mathias Lindholm; Filip Lindskog; Katrien Antonio; Stockholms universitet; []
   Nyckelord :NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Mathematical Statistics; matematisk statistik;

   Sammanfattning : Actuarial reserving deals with the problem of predicting outstanding claims payments on policies issued up to today to find an appropriate amount of capital, the claims reserve or technical provisions, to set aside in order to be able to meet obligations to policyholders. Historically, and commonly still today, this has been approached using purely algorithmic and deterministic methods, not based in any statistical models. LÄS MER

7. 5. Description and prediction of clinical radiosensitivity : emphasis on normal tissue reactions

   Författare :Roger Tell; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
   Nyckelord :Radiotherapy; radiosensitivity; normal tissue; thyroid; cell cycle; lung injury;

   Sammanfattning : There is a range in the severity of normal tissue reactions observed when cancer patients receive radiotherapy (RT). The limits of dosage in RT have empirically been set by doses that have caused severe reactions in the most sensitive patients. The understanding of factors governing variations of radiosensitivity is therefore very important in RT. LÄS MER
