Summary: The study indicates that qualitative uncertainty descriptions for hazard identification can decrease confidence in the professional competencies of assessors, while a quantitative uncertainty description for risk characterization does not impact any dependent variables. Regarding risk protection, trust in exposure limit values is not affected by qualitative uncertainty information, but a qualitative description of uncertainty regarding the adequacy of protection can increase fears. Additionally, explaining this uncertainty leads to lower text understandability.

Summary: Factors such as individualistic worldviews, high general interpersonal trust, low social trust, and perceptions of neglected risks influence public acceptance of COVID-19 measures. A decrease in the number of infected people led to reduced risk perceptions, lower social trust, increased perceptions of neglected risks, and ultimately a decline in acceptance of the measures.

Summary: The study found that Chinese residents' previous flood experiences, trust in public protection, and perception of flood risk not only predicted their flood preparedness, but also their financial risk aversion, especially for those who have not yet experienced flooding. Trust in public flood protection is highlighted as important for flood risk management and communication.

Summary: The study examines how social media information provision reshapes public environmental risk perceptions through a natural experiment conducted in mainland China. The results show that social media information provision enhances self-reported knowledge, reduces trust, and increases fear among the public. This reshaping of risk perception encourages protective behaviors but may also lead to public panic and loss of trust. The findings suggest the importance of considering the periodicity of information provision and maintaining trust in communication strategies to effectively promote behavior changes.

Summary: Trust in government and outside helpers positively influences individuals' risk perception and preparedness actions, while informal social support has a negative correlation with self-reported preparedness. Formal support does not significantly affect disaster risk perception or preparedness. Different forms of trust in stakeholders and social support have varying impacts on individual's risk perception and preparedness.

Summary: This study explores smokers' trust in information sources about COVID-19 and its association with their perceived susceptibility and severity of the disease. The findings show that smokers trust their personal doctors the most for COVID-19 information, while news media has low credibility. Trust also varies based on gender, ethnicity, education, and political orientation, with the latter having the strongest influence. Trusted sources, such as personal doctors, may effectively convey COVID-19 information across different demographics and political orientations.

Summary: Public trust is crucial for the acceptance of the procedure and decision-making process for the disposal of high-level nuclear waste, while trust has a lesser impact on the acceptance of the repository facility itself. The public can be categorized into three clusters based on their levels of trust, risk perception, and acceptance: risk-focused, ambivalent, and indifferent.

Summary: Organizational processes and experiences in hospitality are seen as tools to create value and gain a competitive advantage, while trust is an important factor in creating value among stakeholders. This study aims to understand the relationship between hospitality and trust, focusing on customers and veterinarians. A questionnaire based on three scales: hospitality experience, hospitableness, and trust, was used to survey 185 pet owners who use veterinary clinics and hospitals in Brazil. Structural equation modeling was used for analysis. The results showed a positive association between hospitality experience, hospitableness, and trust in veterinarians. In conclusion, hospitality factors have a positive impact on service provided to stakeholders, and organizations should invest in interpersonal relationships to provide better service quality.

Summary: During the peak of COVID-19 cases in Switzerland, a study showed that the implemented measures were accepted and people were more concerned about their family members getting infected with the virus, as well as the economic impact. The study also revealed that how trust is measured is crucial, as general trust and social trust have opposite effects on risk perceptions.

Summary: A large group of people exhibit COVID skepticism, which is linked to lower risk perception and non-compliant behavior. Psychological factors, such as individualism, pro-social attitudes, and trust in scientists, strongly influence risk perception and mediate the effects of skepticism. Those who have contracted the virus show both increased risk perception and skepticism, while individuals with family or friends who have contracted the virus display higher risk perception and lower skepticism. The longitudinal study highlights the importance of trust in scientists and government, which evolves over time. Gender differences in risk perception diminish as understanding and beliefs about the virus develop. These findings underscore the significance of assessing skepticism for researchers and policy makers dealing with pandemic situations.

Summary: The study examines perceived barriers and opportunities in implementing urban agri-green roofs in Barcelona, with stakeholders discussing social, environmental, legal, technological, and economic factors. Main barriers are lack of information, Mediterranean climate, regulations, investment, and roof conditions, while opportunities include social cohesion, quality of life improvement, regulations, profits, and aesthetics. The impact of UAGR is distributed evenly within buildings and cities, with limited global impact, and opportunities and barriers mostly arise during different stages of the roof's life cycle.

Summary: This article investigates the risk perception of multi-subject land supply reform in China, finding that the key risks are the information asymmetry risk perceived by farmers and the market risk perceived by banks. Farmers and banks perceive the highest overall risks, with information-disadvantaged stakeholders usually having a strong sense of risk.

Summary: The study found that the perception of coastal flooding risk is influenced by individuals' previous experiences, habituation to the risk, and emotional connection to the place. Additionally, mistrust in government institutions can increase feelings of hopelessness and powerlessness in dealing with coastal flooding risk.

Summary: This study compares the evolution of the psychosocial sector in two Australian regions before and after the implementation of the National Disability Insurance Scheme. The results show different developmental pathways in the two regions, with an increase in service availability in Western Sydney and a decrease in the Australian Capital Territory. However, the diversity of available services did not increase. The study highlights the urgent need for evaluation and monitoring of the effects of the NDIS on psychosocial care in Australia, as key objectives have not been met and uncertainty has been created for service providers.

Summary: This scoping review of Asian IC programmes for managing multimorbidity patients revealed that service delivery, leadership, and workforce were the most frequently mentioned components, while financing was the least mentioned. Compared to EU/US countries, Asia reported less on technology and medical products, as well as multidisciplinary teams, indicating room for further development.
