Assessing the potential of bioeconomy in Slovakia based on Public Perception of renewable materials in contrast to non-renewable materials
Ambio, 2020Co-Authors: Lenka Navrátilová, Jozef Výbošťok, Zuzana Dobšinská, Jaroslav Šálka, Magdaléna Pichlerová, Viliam PichlerAbstract:There is a need for societal transformation towards bioeconomy, which promotes the replacement of non-renewable natural resources with renewable ones. Slovakia has considerable potential for bioeconomy development, yet this potential remains untapped. This article evaluates the Public Perception regarding the individual properties of renewable and non-renewable materials and their relation to the potential for bioeconomy development in Slovakia. It is found that Slovak consumers prefer natural renewable materials, regardless of other influencing factors, and realise the need for transformation towards a more sustainable economy.

The Public Perception of the value of vaccines - the case of Switzerland
Journal of Public Health, 2008Co-Authors: Claire-anne Siegrist, Marta A. Balinska PeroutkovaAbstract:Aim In this original article, we seek to analyse the environment in which immunisation policies are adopted and, more specifically, the way the Public Perception of vaccines influences decision-making, by looking more closely at the case of Switzerland. Subjects and methods Historical and present-day examples of attitudes towards immunisation and specific vaccines, both on the part of the Public and of health-care workers, are reviewed. Results Decision-making with regard to vaccine policy implementation has been and is still most often driven by fear: fear of disease (when perceived as rampant and/or dangerous), but also fear of vaccine-associated adverse events (when the disease is less or no longer “visible”). However, methodology for introducing evidence-based immunisation policies exists and can be used by Public health authorities, while vaccination information systems (such as the Swiss InfoVac) have proven their usefulness in providing trustworthy, peer-based knowledge to health-care workers. Conclusion Only information based on clear, evidence-based data gathered and analysed according to solid methodological criteria coupled with adequate information of health-care workers (and thus patients) can ensure in future the implementation of scientifically coherent, Publicly acceptable, and equitable immunisation policies.
