Prediction of RBNS and IBNR claims using claim amounts and claim counts
A model is proposed using the run-off triangle of paid claims and also the numbers of reported claims (in a similar triangular array). These data are usually available, and allow the model proposed to be implemented in a large variety of situations. On the basis of these data, the stochastic model is built from detailed assumptions for individual claims, but then approximated using a compound Poisson framework. The model explicitly takes into account the delay from when a claim is incurred and to when it is reported (the IBNR delay)and the delay from when a claim is reported and to when it is fully paid (the RBNS delay). These two separate sources of delay are estimated separately, unlike most other reserving methods. The results are compared with those of the chain ladder technique

Data collection on trafficking in human beings in the EU: Final report
Trafficking in human beings is the buying and selling of women, girls, men, and boys. It has hugely deleterious consequences for individuals, society, and the economy. This is the fourth report published by the European Commission that presents a compilation of statistics at the EU Member State level on trafficking in human beings. This data collection exercise approached all 28-Member States and covers the years 2015 and 2016and updates the 2014 data collection as relevant
WHIRLY1 functions in the nucleus to regulate barley leaf development and associated metabolite profiles
The WHIRLY (WHY) DNA/RNA binding proteins fulfil multiple but poorly characterised functions in leaf development. Here, we show that WHY1 transcript levels were highest in the bases of 7-day old barley leaves. Immunogold labelling revealed that the WHY1 protein was more abundant in the nuclei than the proplastids of the leaf bases. To identify transcripts associated with leaf development we conducted hierarchical clustering of differentially abundant transcripts along the developmental gradient of wild-type leaves. Similarly, metabolite profiling was employed to identify metabolites exhibiting a developmental gradient. A comparative analysis of transcripts and metabolites in barley lines (W1β1 and W1β7) lacking WHY1, which show delayed greening compared with the wild type revealed that the transcript profile of leaf development was largely unchanged in W1β1 and W1β7 leaves. However, there were differences in levels of several transcripts encoding transcription factors associated with chloroplast development. These include a barley homologue of the Arabidopsis GATA transcription factor that regulates stomatal development, greening and chloroplast development, NAC1; two transcripts with similarity to Arabidopsis GLK1 and two transcripts encoding ARF transcriptions factors with functions in leaf morphogenesis and development. Chloroplast proteins were less abundant in the W1β1 and W1β7 leaves than the wild type. The levels of tricarboxylic acid cycle metabolites and GABA were significantly lower in WHY1 knockdown leaves than the wild type. This study provides evidence that WHY1 is localised in the nuclei of leaf bases, contributing the regulation of nuclear-encoded transcripts that regulate chloroplast development
