Compound climate-related events are a complex combination of climate drivers and hazards leading to a significant impact on natural and anthropic systems. Owing to their complexity and critical consequences, interdisciplinary undertaking is required to improve risk analysis, management, and communication. Although prior research in cognitive sciences extensively investigated risk perception in case of a single hazard, the analysis of compound hazards perception is still an open issue. Here, based on cognitive psychology insights, we empirically investigate how individuals' risk perception is shaped by the subjective relevance attributed to different causal cues entailed in a compound event scenario. The results revealed that the subjective validity assigned to specific evidence presented in the composite scenario leads perceived risk related to one of the outcomes (i.e., flooding and wildfire) to prevail over the other. Moreover, the relevance of different cues is likely to affect participants' automatic behavioral intentions (stay at home vs. evacuation).

Mobile Applications for Longitudinal Data Collection: Web-based Survey Study of Former Intensive Care Patients.
J Med Syst
January 2025
Department of Intensive Care Medicine, Faculty of Medicine, RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany.
Purpose: Mobile health plays an important role in providing individualized information about the health status of patients. Limited information exists on intensive care unit (ICU) patients with the risk of suffering from the post-intensive care syndrome (PICS), summarizing long-term physical, mental and cognitive impairment. This web-based survey study aims to identify specific needs of former ICU patients for utilizing a newly developed, so called Post-Intensive Care Outcome Surveillance (PICOS) app to collect relevant PICS-related parameters.

Department of Health Services Research, Institute of Medicine, University of Tsukuba, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan.
Aims: This study aimed to assess the relationship between individuals' recognition of ophthalmology consultation recommendations, their knowledge of the recommended frequency of diabetic retinopathy screening, and the likelihood of undergoing fundus examinations.
Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional secondary analysis linked claims and health checkup data to a questionnaire survey. Questionnaires were distributed to randomly sampled National Health Insurance beneficiaries in Tsukuba City, using data from claims and health checkups.
Comparison of visual assessment and quantitative goodness-of-fit metrics on GUTS model fits.

For the application of toxicokinetic-toxicodynamic (TKTD) models in the European environmental risk assessment (ERA) of plant protection products, it is recommended to evaluate model predictions of the calibration as well as the independent validation data set based on qualitative criteria (visual assessment) and quantitative goodness-of-fit (GoF) metrics. The aims of this study were to identify whether quantitative criteria coincide with human visual perception of model performance and which evaluator characteristics influence their perception. In an anonymous online survey, > 70 calibration and validation general unified threshold models of survival (GUTS) fits were ranked by 64 volunteers with a professional interest in ecotoxicology and TKTD modeling.
