• Risk assessment and risk management: Review of recent advances on their foundation (2016, background): “The uncertainty-founded risk perspectives (e.g. Aven et al., 2014; Aven & Renn, 2009; ISO, 2009a, 2009b; PSA-N, 2015 ) indicate that we should also include the pure probability-based perspectives, as the uncertainties are not sufficiently revealed for these perspectives; see also discussion in…”
• Maritime transportation risk analysis: Review and analysis in light of some foundational issues (2015, background): “Non-epistemic values are excluded from the risk characterization [29,51–53]”
• On Some Recent Definitions and Analysis Frameworks for Risk, Vulnerability, and Resilience (2011, background): “The uncertainties relate to the events and consequences; the severity is just a way of characterizing the consequences.(6) Uncertainty here simply means that we do not know whether the event will occur or not, and what the consequences (outcome) will be (how severe they will be) if it does occur.”
• Levels of Uncertainty (2013, background): “Aven and Renn (2009), for example, have found ten different”
• The risk concept - historical and recent development trends (2012, background): “It may not be worth the effort and energy discussing whether an outcome is classified in the right category, and therefore most general risk definitions allow for both positive and negative consequences (Aven and Renn 2009a).”
• A relational theory of risk (2011, background): “This contribution is acknowledged by Aven and Renn ( 2009 , 2), who state that ‘risk refers to uncertainty about and [the] severity of the consequences (or outcomes) of an activity with respect to something that humans value’.”
