Full textThe Master’s final paper on GMO discovered that the majority of respondents have no strong opinion about production and use of GMO, but one third of responses on production and use of GMO were negative. Many people consider that GMO not only negatively affect human health, but also damage environment. Moreover, eating genetically-modified food can irreversibly change human’s genetic code as well as irreversible mutations in plants’ and animals’ populations. However, some people tend to use GM foods because they are cheaper and can be stored longer than other foods. Even though some of the respondents see benefits of GMO production and usage, almost all of the respondents claim that genetically engineered products interest mostly large companies that are seeking to profit from GMO. The most obvious finding to emerge from this study is that people learn about GMO from mass media and communicating with friends and relatives mostly, but they also admit the lack of credible information on GMO. More than a half of the respondents would like to receive more information about genetically modified organisms.

Full textBachelor work “SOS! GMO!” reflects nowadays realities addressing the public about the important issue of genetically modified organisms on the flora and fauna. The development of genetically modified organisms in the world is analized in the first section and also the positive and negative aspects of GMO`s are examined. Moreover, scientists opinion on the risk of GM products not only for insects but for mammalian health is represented. According to studies conducted in animals, it is envisaged that future generations can degrade and become infertile. Created works of various artists are dealt in the second section where ecosystem problems are reflexed. The visual sculptures, ceramics, graphics, furniture design, montages, land art, clothing design examples illustrating the authors` position on this issue are introduced. The third section justified the idea of clothing collection. The visual artistic designs, technological samples, drawings are given. Furthermore, the collection of photo sessions and flatbed photo are fulfilled. The fourth chapter deals with outlets of the created clothing collection and also an estimate of the collection provided. The clothes are not planed to sell in a short time due to the fact that it is intended to accession the collection and participate in fashion events. It helps to glorify the name of the designer. The cost of implemental models is 866,79 Lt, sale price - 948,41 Lt, expected profit - 82 Lt. The analysis of information helped to... [to full text]

Full textThe world is growing more and more genetically modified (or engineered) crops (GM crops). In Argentina farmers grow almost only GM soy, and no conventional soy. It is a controversial subject, since genetic engineering has many advocates and critics. The positive sides of GM crops are that it can create higher yields and incomes for the farmers. Those are the main objects of growing GM crops. Critics, on the other hand, say that GM crops have bad effects on the environment, and the risks could be too high. For example GM crops can spread to neighboring farms, where organic crops are growing. Many scientists claim that nobody really have enough knowledge of the effects of growing GM crops, and therefore thorough risk assessments are needed to examine the effects and possible risks of growing GM crops before starting to grow them. Politicians, too often, make decisions on false scientific grounds, when they claim that genetic engineering is a safe and precise method. The large corporations developing GMOs are heavily influencing political decision making. Scientists have studied the genetic engineering process and the results show that the method is not precise. It is difficult to know exactly what gene is transferred, and where it ends up. It is also important to discuss the precautionary principle in the decision making process.

Full textThe aim of this study was to assess the approach to GMO’s of drugstore’s worker’s. In order to realize the overall aim, three goals were established: to assess the knowledge of drugstore’s worker’s about GMO; to assess the drugstore’s worker’s approach to GMO risk to the environment and human health; to compare the results with the study of “Spinter” where was evaluated publics approach to GMO’s 2009. Methods. Drugstore’s workers were interviewed by anonymous questionnaire. 150 respondents were interviewed in total: 75 from Vilnius and 75 from Ukmergė and Šakiai. The results were processed using the statistical package SPSS/w 15 and traditional statistic methods. Results. Exploring the drugstore’s worker’s opinion about GMO, there was found that the opinion about GMO was negative of 67,3% of respondents. 14% of respondents knew about GMO and GMP enough, 60% of respondents knew about GMO just a little, but wanted to get more information. 46% of respondents thought that live stocks are foddering with GM fodders which are made abroad. 41% of respondents thought that live stocks are foddering with GM fodders which are made from cultures witch were grown in Lithuania. Most of respondents – 64,7% assumed that they would like to have a right to choose while buying and using GMO. 58% of respondents wouldn’t want to use GM food, 48,7% of respondents – would use GM food only if they had the evidences that GMO is no harmful.

Full textAn application of biotechnology that has been rapidly matured under the last ten years is genetically modified food. The deliberative release of GMO faces the challenge of complying with sustainable development and implies a precautionary approach to all possible risk involved. This study purpose is to investigate the problems of risks concerning deliberative release of GMO and to define the question of responsibility. These two themes, risk and responsibility, are discussed in relation to society, citizens, corporations andscience. A more profound understanding of the relation between risk and responsibility in the GMO context could contribute to the sensitivity and deliberation in bio-politics, so it better can cope with democratic governance, public debate and risk deliberations.
Politicians and other decisions-makers have a responsibility to assure that they have sufficient knowledge and understanding for the issue at hand before taking any decision. A responsible bio-politics departs from the precautionary principle in decisions making, gaining knowledge in dialogue with concerned GMO actors and tries to correspond to sustainable development. Hence, knowledge and understanding is needed which are reached in dialogue with other parties in order to allowed values, attitudes and knowledge to be deliberate more extensively.

Full textENGLISH ABSTRACT: The aim and function of this paper is to provide a balanced account of how the media, international and South African, have dealt with the issue of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). A selection of interviews, presentations, articles, transcripts and published reports forms the background of this interpretation, and offers insight into the history of the technology, the major role players, the legislation required and implemented, the question of environmental accountability, and the power of the media's influence. It addresses aspects of the causal relationship between the media and public understanding, and the subsequent power of the consumer as manifested by the perception of risk. The central theme of genetic engineering conjures up a variety of meanings and applications, and the plethora of available information is evaluated in an attempt to develop informed understanding for reporters covering the many dimensions of this development within the arena of science and technology.

Full textDado que el aumento del contenido de etanol en el vino ha atraído mucha atención, la búsqueda de un vino saludable y con bajo contenido de alcohol ha instado a los investigadores a encontrar formas de reducir el contenido de etanol en el vino. El objetivo de este trabajo es la selección y aplicación de especies de levadura distintas de Saccharomyces para reducir el contenido de etanol. Este objetivo general se puede dividir en los siguientes tres objetivos específicos: Un método rápido para seleccionar especies de levadura distintas de Saccharomyces con un bajo rendimiento de etanol. Este estudio proponía un método rápido para seleccionar levaduras con bajo rendimiento de etanol de 45 cepas de levadura no Saccharomyces, pertenecientes a 19 especies. Este método incluyó dos pasos y se completó en 5 días para obtener las levaduras seleccionadas. El efecto de un arranque múltiple no Saccharomyces sobre la reducción de etanol y la dinámica de la población de levaduras, utilizando diferentes relaciones y estrategias de inoculación. Como iniciador único, las tres cepas (de las especies M. pulcherrima, T. delbrueckii y Z.baili) pueden reducir el contenido de etanol en el vino. Con el fin de lograr la estrategia de inoculación adecuada, las tres cepas se utilizaron como iniciador múltiple en fermentaciones co-inoculadas o secuenciales con S. cerevisiae en diferentes proporciones de inóculo. La reducción de etanol por especies de levadura no Saccharomyces seleccionadas y Saccharomyces cerevisiae evolucionada. Dos cepas de levadura no Saccharomyces seleccionadas de especies de M. pulcherrima y L. thermotolerans y tres cepas de S. cerevisiae evolucionadas seleccionadas (desarrolladas en condiciones de isobutanol o alto contenido de azúcar), se utilizaron en fermentaciones inoculadas simultáneas y secuenciales para evaluar su capacidad para reducir el contenido de alcohol. Conclusiones Las cepas de las especies M. pulcherrima, T. delbrueckii y Z. bailii lograron mayores reducciones en el rendimiento de etanol (1,39, 0,84 y 1,02% (v / v), respectivamente) cuando se utilizaron en fermentación con S. cerevisiae, siendo M. pulcherrima la especie con la mayor reducción de etanol (1,44% (v / v)) obtenida en todas las condiciones analizadas.
As the increase in ethanol content in wine has attracted much attention, the pursuit of health and low-alcohol wine has urged researchers to find ways to reduce the ethanol content in wine. The aim of this work is the selection and application of non-Saccharomyces yeast species to reduce ethanol content. This general goal can be divided into the following three specific objectives: A rapid method to screen non-Saccharomyces yeast species with a low ethanol yield. This study was to propose a rapid method to screen yeasts with a low ethanol yield from 45 non-Saccharomyces yeast strains, belonging to 19 species. This method included two steps and was complete in 5 days to obtain the selected yeasts. The effect of a non-Saccharomyces multistarter on ethanol reduction and yeast population dynamics, using different inoculation ratios and strategies. As a single starter, all three strains (from M. pulcherrima, T.delbrueckii and Z.baili species) can reduce ethanol content in wine. In order to achieve the appropriate inoculation strategy, the three strains were used as a multistarter in co-inoculated or sequential fermentations with S. cerevisiae at different inoculum ratios. The ethanol reduction by selected non-Saccharomyces yeast species and evolved Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Two selected non-Saccharomyces yeast strains from M. pulcherrima and L. thermotolerans species and three selected evolved S. cerevisiae strains (evolved on iso-butanol or high sugar conditions), were used in simultaneous and sequential inoculated fermentations to evaluate their ability to reduce the alcohol content. Conclusions Strains from M. pulcherrima, T. delbrueckii and Z. bailii species achieved higher ethanol yield reductions (1.39, 0.84 and 1.02% (v/v), respectively) when used in fermentation with S. cerevisiae, being M. pulcherrima the species with the highest ethanol reduction (1.44% (v/v)) obtained in all tested conditions.

Full textDen politiska diskursen som har uppstått som en följd av upprättandet av ett europeiskt regelverk för GMO har inte varit utan problem. Denna avhandling behandlar de politiska utmaningar som alstrats av skapandet och tillämpningen av genetiskt modifierade organismer (GMO) inom EU. Den underliggande hypotesen i avhandlingen är att framväxten av en europeisk politik på området för GMO har uppstått genom nya reflexiva regleringsformer. Syftet med denna forskning är att förstå hur reflexiva regleringsformer har uppkommit och opererar inom EU, med särskilt fokus på de två GMO direktiven 90/220/EEG och 2001/18/EG. Studien analyserar lagstiftning från 1970-talet och framåt genom att undersöka hur lagstiftningen om genetiskt modifierade organismer har utvecklats och implementerats i EU. Detta görs genom en analys av begreppen ‘risk’ och ‘försiktighetsprincipen’ eftersom dessa begrepp har varit centrala för debatten om GMO lagstiftningen. Den empiriska metoden fokuserar på hur Europeiska kommissionen, Europaparlamentet och Europeiska rådet samt andra aktörer och institutioner har uttryckt ambivalens, tolkningar och osäkerhet i beslutsfattandet gällande reglerings åtgärder för genetiskt modifierade organismer, med tonvikt på risk och försiktighetsprincipen. Det huvudsakliga empiriska materialet är dokument gällande den interinstitutionella processen som ägde rum när de två direktiven skapades. Analysen visar att implementeringen av GMO lagstiftningen har skapat nya styrningsstrategier i synnerhet i de fall där ändamålet med lagstiftningen har varit föremål för politiska och vetenskapliga kontroverser.

Full textUppsatsen behandlar GMO (genmodifierade grödor) och hur de påverkar människa och miljö i USA, Sydamerika (Argentina och Brasilien) och Europa. De geografiska områdena har valts då arealen över GMO-odlingar är störst i USA och Sydamerika samt för att mestadels av GMO exporteras till Europa. GMO-frågan har varit väldigt omdebatterad i Europa och andra delar av världen de senaste åren av miljöorganisationer, forskare och genteknikföretag. Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka för- och nackdelarna med genmodifierade grödor.
Uppsatsens undersökning utgörs av två intervjuer med sakkunniga personer med skilda uppfattningar om genmodifierade grödor. I denna del behandlas även information från olika organisationer som t.ex. SNF (Svenska naturskyddsföreningen) och gmofri.se. Undersökningen genomfördes i syfte att besvara uppsatsens frågeställningar. Hur påverkas människor och miljö av genmodifierade grödor i USA, Sydamerika och Europa? Kan genmodifierade grödor lösa problemet med världssvälten? Hur förhåller man sig till GMO i olika geografiska delar av världen och varför?
Uppsatsens resultat visar att miljöpåverkan är stor eftersom genmodifierade grödor är oförutsägbara och kan ge oväntade egenskaper. Det största miljöproblemet med GMO är påverkan av den biologiska mångfalden som sker p.g.a. spridning till naturliga växter. Människans påverkas då GMO kan bidra till allergiframkallning och även att människan kan få det svårare att bekämpa sjukdomar med hjälp av antibiotika. Människan påverkas även på andra områden än hälsan, exempelvis genom att människan förlorar kontroll över livsmedelsproduktionen då multinationella gentekniksföretag äger patent på 90 procent av all GMO. GMO är inte heller en lösning på svälten, man bör lösa svältens orsaker i första hand som bland annat krig. GMO som lösning på svält används som marknadsföring av genteknikföretag då det är ett faktum att det endast är dessa företag som tjänat på GMO hittills och majoriteten av GMO som odlas i perifera länder exporteras som foder till kärnländernas slaktdjur och för användning som biobränsle. Resultatet visar även att man vet för lite om genmodifierade grödors påverkan på miljö och framför allt på människan för att kommersialiseras.

Full textThis study examines the possible incompatibility between environmental conventions and agreements promoting international trade. More specifically, it aims at discussing the Precautionary Principle and the WTO agreements on trade and how they might contradict each other on the international arena. The study focuses on the international trade with genetically modified organisms and discusses probable needs of reformulating the principles and/or conventions concerned if these are to function as tools of equal importance when handling environmental problems through policy making. The controversy is illustrated through a case-study of a trade dispute where the conflicting principles: the Precautionary Principle and WTO agreements on trade are involved, namely a dispute where a formal complaint to the WTO by the US, Canada and Argentina about the European Community supposedly applying a de facto moratorium on genetically modified organisms had the final outcome of the European Community being found to contravene international trade rules. The study concludes that actors on the international arena are still opinions apart concerning the way to perceive possible risks connected to biotechnology and genetically modified organisms. This incongruence is also found to apply to the status of the Precautionary Principle as a rule of international law as well as to which of the conventions that were applicable to the concerned dispute.

Full textAs the agriculture industry and biotechnologies grow and spread, it has become increasingly important to understand the science and policies surrounding it. Most recently the G.M.O labeling debate has had a high profile in the media and the public with three states having bills and initiatives up for vote on this issue. The research question presented was whether local news coverage of G.M.Os was framed more emotionally in comparison to coverage in major newspapers in the U.S. A content analysis was preformed on both local and national newspapers articles on G.M.O labeling and GE technology during 2013 and 2014 to determine how G.M.O labeling was framed in each category.

Full textThe climate change and the growing global population have led to a need for new, more sustainable, and nutritious sources of food. Edible insects are one of the presented alternative solutions to cope with the problem. The concept is relatively new in the Western world, especially in Sweden where the involvement in the field is limited. In order to contribute to the market introduction of edible insects, the dedication of different actors in the field has a central role in this issue. Consequently, the aim of this study is to analyse how actors involved in the edible insects network perceive the market introduction of edible insects in Sweden. The aim is also to contribute to a further discussion on possibilities for the use of edible insects in Sweden in the light of the introduction of GMOs. The analysis and the conclusions from the study show that the actors have relatively positive perceptions of a market introduction of edible insects both as food and feed, though only as a relatively limited part of the national food system. Based on the actors´ views and previous studies there are opportunities to introduce edible insects to the Swedish market. However, there are several factors that can hinder the market introduction in Sweden. For example, competition between countries has been highlighted as a possible obstacle: the original novel food regulation had led to different interpretations between countries concerning edible insects, which included differences between Western countries in possibilities to introduce insects to the market. Countries such as the Netherlands have more conducive market conditions and have already had insects on the market for several years, while in Sweden the market is still negligible, which can lead to lack of motivation to develop this branch of industry.

Full textUppsatsens syfte är att utifrån ett riskperspektiv analysera Sveriges första heltäckande GMO-lagstiftning vilken antogs 1994. Lagstiftningen skapades som ett resultat av Sveriges åtaganden via EES-avtalet, men också utifrån nödvändigheten av att skapa en heltäckande GMO-lag. Undersökningen bygger på Ulrich Becks teori om att välutvecklade samhällen har gått från att vara industrisamhällen till att bli risksamhällen. I risksamhället dominerar riskproduktionens logik över rikedomsproduktionens logik där regeringars och myndigheters agerande styrs utifrån detta perspektiv. Frågor som undersökningen söker svar på är hur de aktörer som var inblandade i skapandet av Sveriges första heltäckande GMO-lag resonerat kring, bedömt och slutligen hanterat de risker som ansågs finnas med gentekniken. Resultatet visar att Sverige hade ett uttalat fokus på risker som i förlängningen går tillbaka till etiska frågor, där vilka risker som kunde accepteras utifrån det moraliska ansvaret för miljön stod i centrum. I vissa delar så införde Sverige en striktare lagstiftning än vad EES-avtalet krävde utifrån ett riskperspektiv. Lagstiftningen kan sägas ha karaktäriserats av ett epistemologiskt problem, vilket var en följd av den okunskap som förelåg vid tidpunkten. Detta stödjer också den tidigare forskningens uppfattningar kring hur Sverige hanterat frågan med GMO på ett tidigt stadium.

Full textThis thesis aims to respond to the need of adjust GMO politics for meeting the demands of the late-modern society and the changed condition that follows from an accelerating complexity. The central objective for this study is to contribute with a narrative understanding of Sweden’s GMO politics with the purpose of examine an alternative possibility for formulating and assessing the politics of biotechnology. This is done by investigate Sweden’s politics of GMO through a narrative approach. I have reconstructed and carried out a Comparative analyzes of these narratives. This was the first of two objectives with this thesis. The other objective was to relate the political practice with the contribution and insights of Paul Ricoeur as a point of departure. My effort has been to build upon his contribution of narrative philosophy and fruitful conceptual resources and to reach an understanding of the advantage of a narrative approach in politics. This advantage lies in that it can provide an understanding of the narrative aspects in our daily lives. This would bring sensitivity and reflexivity to the political context. With this sensitivity and reflexivity it hopefully can separate irresponsible politics from responsible politics. This could be done by incorporate the result from this study. A responsible environmental politics departs from the precautionary principle in decision-making, gaining knowledge from interdisciplinary research and tries to correspond to the narrative structures in people’s daily lives. The narrative approach brings a deeper understanding for that political thought and practice is not reducible to other forms of human action.

Full textMånga i Sverige är negativt inställda till genmodifierad mat som har förändrats med hjälp av genteknik. Enligt gymnasieskolans styrdokument bör genetikundervisningen ge eleverna sådana kunskaper att de känner till olika gentekniker och kan diskutera möjligheterna och riskerna med dessa gentekniker. Syftet med studien var att undersöka om gymnasieskolans genetikundervisning förändrade elevernas inställning till genmodifierad mat. En enkätstudie med såväl öppna som slutna frågor genomfördes på 54 elever från ett naturbruksgymnasium i nordvästra Skåne där 19 elever inte hade genomgått genetikundervisning och och 35 elever hade fått undervisning i genetik på gymnasiet. Vid analys av svaren framkom det att nio procent av eleverna som fått undervisning i genetik på gymnasiet ansåg det farligt att äta genmodifierad mat, medan 47 procent utav eleverna utan genetikundervisning ansåg det farligt. Elever som genomgått genetikundervisning såg till såväl möjligheterna som riskerna med genmodifierade organismer (GMO), medan elever utan genetikundervisning framförallt såg riskerna med GMO. Hälften av eleverna utan genetikundervisning hade insikt om att det finns gener i kött/fisk och frukt/grönsaker, medan 89 procent utav eleverna med genetikundervisning hade insikt i detta. Gymnasieskolans genetikundervisning påverkade elevernas inställning till genmodifierad mat i den här studien då färre efter genetikundervisning ansåg den farlig. Undervisningen gav eleverna dessutom en mer nyanserad bild av möjligheterna och riskerna med GMO. Resultatet att hälften av eleverna utan gymnasial genetikundervisning inte har kunskaper om att det finns gener i kött och fisk samt frukt och grönsaker återspeglar tidigare studier. Slutsatsen av studien är att genetikundervisningen på gymnasiet leder till en minskad rädsla för genmodifierad mat och en mer nyanserad bild av möjligheterna med genmodifierade organismer.

Full textAbstract Background Genetically modified organisms (GMOs) involves using genetic engineering to move a specific gene from one organism and crossing it with another to create characteristics of an organism which it naturally does not have. Attitudes and willingness to purchase genetically modified (GM) foods has been shown to differ between countries as well as between different groups. Objective The objective of the study was to investigate whether consumers in Sweden differ in attitudes towards GMOs and how incentives affect willingness to purchase GM-fruits and vegetables, depending on gender, age, level of education, and perceived knowledge about GMOs. Method Quantitative method was used with data collection via a web-based questionnaire containing 21 questions divided into three categories; inclusion criterias, attitudes, and willingness to purchase. The sample strategy used was a convenience sample where the survey was spread through the authors' Facebook profiles. The data from the 110 respondents was analyzed in SPSS with Pearson Chi-squared test and Fisher’s Exact Test. Results The results showed that women and 31 years and older had both a more negative attitude towards and was less willing to purchase GM-foods. No difference was detected between the levels of education. However, results showed a more positive attitude among those with a high perceived knowledge about GMO unlike those with a low or mediumperceived knowledge. Conclusion The results largely corresponded with previous research indicating that a change has not occurred since similar studies were conducted in Sweden in the early 2000s. The most prominent result is that women and 31 years and older respondents have a more negative attitude towards as well as are less willing to purchase GM-foods regardless of incentives.

Full textTitle: A Colorful Consumer Behavior Level: Final assignment for Bachelor Degree in Business Administration Author: Martin Myhrman & Robin Uppman Supervisor: Jonas KågströmDate: 2015 – 05 Aim: The background of our study was grounded in the fact that the research of colors impact are limited in the field of marketing. Studies have also shown that future research should examine which factors that affect consumer’s perception of genetically modified products. The aim of our study is as follows: “The aim of this study is to examine how colored labeling might compensate for the negative perception of genetically modified products.” Method: In this study we have performed an experiment. The experiment took place at a University in Sweden and we had 120 respondent commits. The respondents were asked to perform a taste test in which the color of a label was manipulated between three test groups (red, blue and green). The collected data was analyzed with IBM SPSS Statistics 22, further the results were interpreted and discussed. Result & Conclusions: Our main finding is that the color red on a negative label generated a lower willingness to pay than both blue and green. This result confirms previous research which among other things says that the color red trigger an aggressive mindset and encourage analytical thinking. Furthermore we have seen trends that indicate that colors do not affect the taste and health perception. Suggestions for future research: Many of our results have not been statistically significant, which probably depends on our relatively limited sample, further research should replicate our study with a wider sample. In addition to this suggestion we would like to see further research concerning:- Colors impact on the perception of other GMO products.- The impact of color shades on consumer behavior.- The relation between brands and colors in buying decisions. Contribution of the thesis: Our contribution to people working with marketing is that they should be aware that colored labels may affect the consumer perception. Furthermore we have shown that colors affect consumer’s willingness to pay, which is our contribution to the field of marketing.

Full textDenna studie undersöker hur teorier inom retorik och narratologi kan appliceras på och styra tolkningen av informationsgrafik. Som utprovningsmaterial skapades en broschyr om genmodifierad mat, ett komplext ämne som kan tolkas på många sätt. För att identifiera problem och målgrupp utfördes en informationsöversikt kring attityder till genmodifierad mat. De metoder som sedan användes är prototyping och intervjuer. Resultatet visar att broschyrens budskap tolkas olika beroende på sekventiell ordning och komposition. Arbetet redogör även för vilka element som förtydligar innehållet och har en inverkan på trovärdighet, såsom berättargrepp och illustrationer.
