The first rudimentary notion of what can be called risk, may have arisen, according to Covello and Munpower (1985), around 3200 BC in the valley between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers, where lived a group called “Asipu”. A major function of this group was to help people who needed to make difficult decisions. The “Asipus”, when sought, identified the scale of the problem, the alternatives and the consequences of each alternative. Then, they drew up a table, marking the positive and negative points of each alternative to indicate the best decision....

From the very beginning of the transition from the traditional purchasing system reviews to the redesigned assessment approach that replaced them, it was understood that further refinement and continuous improvement was planned. Consistent with that long-term strategy, and building on the originally redesigned federal purchasing assessments, the business system assessment models of the PEAmembers have evolved to be more aligned with the Balanced Scorecard (BSC) approach to performance measurement and management, which is currently in use by many “world class” private corporations.....

In recent years there has been an exponential growth in the number of publications related to theory and applications of Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Charnes, Cooper, and Rhodes (1978) introduced DEA as a tool for measuring efficiency and productivity of decision making units. DEA has immediately been recognized as a modern tool for performance measurement.

Walking mechanics are influenced by body morphology. Foot arch height is one aspect of body morphology central to walking. However, generalizations about the relationship between arch height and walking are limited due to previous methodologies used for measuring the arch and the populations that have been studied.

In the a-posteriori (post-hoc, natural or market defined) approach of market segmen- tation, market segments are identified by forming groups of consumers that are inter- nally homogeneous and externally heterogeneous along a set of measured consumer characteristics ( segmentation variables). That is, a-posteriori market segments are based on responses of consumers that are available only after a survey has been con- ducted.

and gait is mostly derived from studies that measured and reported EF as a composite score [12,18,19]. Relatively few studies have focused on the age-related deficits in specific components of executive function and most of these studies were based on a traditional set of tests of executive function, without detailing specific components. The conclusions drawn from these studies might, therefore, be limited by their methodologies. The putative executive measures might not load on a single executive construct, and might overlap with each other [20,21].

authorize the regulation of security measures that are not associated with the immediate food-processing environment, such as requiring fences, alarms, and outside lighting. Neither agency believes that it has the authority to regulate all aspects of security at food-processing facilities. Both FDA and USDA issued voluntary security guidelines to help food processors identify measures to prevent or mitigate the risk of deliberate contamination. Because these guidelines are voluntary, neither agency enforces, monitors, or documents their implementation.

The emphasis that firms in all three sectors are placing on risk management and risk measurement issues is encouraging. This should result in stronger and better managed firms. The ability to improve risk quantification can provide important tools for assessing risk/return trade-offs and encourage sound risk management practices. However, firms need to understand the limitations of such methodologies and should supplement these where necessary, for example through stress testing.
