Raposo, Hélder
- Abstract
Biomedicine is a field where the concept of risk has shown an impressive increase in its importance. This fact demonstrates a concern with a systematic problem control through an instrumental rationalizing model, expressing eloquently the investment being made in interpreting uncertainty as risk and the consequent statistical dimension as an ever-more quintessential feature of its scientific profile.
