The Seveso Directive of the European Union demands that information be provided to public by companies and authorities about facts, risks, behaviors related hazardous facilities, in particular chemical facilities. On behalf Commission Communities, a survey was run five countries on credibility various sources. This article describes results German study. 430 persons were interviewed with questionnaire 50 items, their perceptions evaluations technical sources preferences for receiving risk...
There are situations when a person interacts with another to arrive at decision. For instance, private investor meets in bank financial advisor because he or she wants invest money. Or patient hospital has choose whether undergo surgery chemical therapy, do nothing, and discusses the situation doctor. We call these situations dyadic decision situations. focus on where there is some legal responsibility special relation between client, who formally to make sign decision, advisor, help client...
In three experimental studies, factors were examined which might influence the interpretation of verbal frequentistic labels in a specific context (i.e. side effects medical drugs). Study 1, we directly assessed subjects' numerical equivalents (recommended for use by German Federal Health Agency), embedded stylized leaflets drugs; compared estimates with those obtained context-free situation. The major findings that (1) clearly lower condition than situation, (2) subjects'; interpretations...
Purpose Large infrastructure projects involve many different stakeholders. Risk allocation is negotiated between the public sector and special purpose vehicle (SPV)/consortium. Moreover, risk shareholders of SPV its contractors, financiers/lenders insuring companies. Since individual understanding risks associated with project differs amongst contract partners, negotiation often very time consuming may not lead to best possible outcome. The variability management approaches a lack coherent...
Abstract Deposition of urine and dung in pasture‐based livestock production systems is a major source ammonia ( NH 3 ) volatilization, contributing to the eutrophication acidification water bodies indirect nitrous oxide emissions. The objectives this study were (i) measure volatilization from three seasons, (ii) test effect spiking with nitrification inhibitor dicyandiamide DCD on (iii) generate emission factors EF s) for dung, + temperate maritime grassland. Accordingly, simulated spiked...
This work investigates the nature of two distinct response patterns in a probabilistic truth table evaluation task, which people estimate probability conditional on basis frequencies cases. The conditional-probability pattern reflects an interpretation conditionals as expressing probability. conjunctive suggests that some treat conjunctions, line with prediction mental-model theory. Experiments 1 and 2 rule out alternative explanations pattern. It does not arise from believing at least one...
Two experiments were conducted to investigate the roles of covariation and causality in people's readiness believe a conditional. The used probabilistic truth-table task (Oberauer & Wilhelm, 2003 Oberauer, K. O. 2003. meaning(s) conditionals: Conditional probabilities, mental models, personal utilities. Journal Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory Cognition, 29: 680–693. [Crossref], [PubMed], [Web Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) which people estimated probability conditional given...
Work capacity evaluations by independent medical experts are widely used to inform insurers whether injured or ill workers capable of engaging in competitive employment. In many countries, evaluation processes lack a clearly structured approach, standardized instruments, and an explicit focus on claimants' functional abilities. Evaluation subjective complaints, such as mental illness, present additional challenges the determination work capacity. We have therefore developed process for...
Expert psychiatrists conducting work disability evaluations often disagree on capacity (WC) when assessing the same patient. More structured and standardised focusing function could improve agreement. The RELY studies aimed to establish inter-rater reproducibility (reliability agreement) of 'functional evaluations' in patients with mental disorders applying for benefits compare effect limited versus intensive expert training reproducibility.
QUESTIONS UNDER STUDY: In Switzerland, psychiatric evaluations of work capacity for determining a person’s eligibility disability benefits are being criticised lack transparency and high inter-rater variability. The aims this study were to learn about the current practice psychiatrists, explore possible sources variability, contrast with professional guidance. METHODS: A national online-survey among psychiatrists who performed five or more per year. Based on discussions experts literature...

Patienten sollen über Risiken von Behandlungsverfahren und Medikamenten, Unsicherheiten Diagnosen Tests, Auftretenswahrscheinlichkeiten Erkrankungen usw. korrekt angemessen aufgeklärt werden. Sie so darüber werden, dass sie die Information verstehen ihre Entscheidung für oder gegen eine Behandlung ein Medikament überlegt treffen können. Aber welche Informationen dem gegeben werden? Wie kann der Patient informiert Welche Faktoren beeinflussen das Verständnis Unsicherheit? Im...
QUESTIONS: In Switzerland, evaluation of work capacity in individuals with mental disorders has come under criticism. We surveyed stakeholders about their concerns and expectations the current claim process. METHODS: conducted a nationwide online survey among five stakeholder groups. asked 37 questions addressing process capacity, maximum acceptable disagreement judgments on its documentation. RESULTS: Response rate 704 (95 plaintiff lawyers, 285 treating psychiatrists, 129 expert...
Abstract. Im ersten Teil dieses Artikels wird auf der Basis einer Aufarbeitung Literatur zum Thema argumentiert, dass sich in den Städten Lateinamerikas letzten zwei Jahrzehnten neue Formen sozialräumlicher Segregation herausgebildet haben. Die lange angenommene klare räumliche Differenzierung Wohngebiete unterschiedlicher sozialer Gruppen entspricht dem komplexen Bild gegenwärtigen Stadtentwicklung nicht (mehr). Neue Entwicklungstendenzen deuten das Entstehen «multi-fragmentierten» Stadt...
With the rise of new media, it is easy to overlook, not only old media but also mummery—the arcane medium flesh—street performances, stage shows, plays, and carnivals. In this paper, we look at case Reverend Billy Church Life After Shopping. We begin by re‐introducing term ‘mummer’ as a traditional expression conceptually locate relative both media. then provide brief introduction captivity narrative studies, specifically looking role humor in providing aesthetic freedom incarceration....
