台灣中央統籌分配稅款對財政努力影響之研究 / A Research of the Influence of Distribution Regulations for Centrally-Allotted Tax revenues on Regional Efforts in Taiwan隆易君, Lung,Yi Chun Unknown Date (has links)
近年來地方財政困難已成眾所關注焦點,當前地方財政困難原因,主要在於實質收入無法配合支出成長,致財政收支差短擴增;且難以稅課收入劃分調整全面解決地方財政問題;在整體財政收入不足,中央財政同屬困難,對地方財政支援受限狀況下,要解決財政困難問題,鼓勵地方財政努力是相當重要的關鍵。
目前有關財政努力的文獻,大多著重於財政努力指標之估測及衡量,而有關分配稅款的文獻則大多著重於分配比例、公式之設計,至於分配稅款對財政努力的影響,目前尚無實證研究論述。本研究以台北市、高雄市及台灣21縣市為研究對象,追蹤資料年度為2001年至2005年;搭配最小平方估計式模型(Ordinary Least Squares, OLS)的估計,探討分配稅款現制對地方「財政努力」的影響。實證結果,分配稅款、財政能力及補助協助收入與財政努力呈顯著負向影響,自有財源則與財政努力呈顯著正向影響;在區域之虛擬變數方面,北區、中區及南區相較於東區而言,與財政努力呈顯著正向影響,至時間之虛擬變數實證結果顯示,2001年、2003年、2004年及2005年相較於2002年而言,與財政努力呈顯著負向影響。 / The origin of the fiscal difficulties of local governments in Taiwan in recent years lies mainly in the fact that revenue has been unable to match the growth of expenditure. It is not possible to adjust the proportion of tax revenue and the central government can only provide limited aid as it is in the same fiscal position as that of the local governments. The key measure in solving the problem is to encourage local governments to tackle their financial problems themselves.
Most of the studies of fiscal efforts in this area focus either on the measurement and evaluation of indexes which indicate the extent of the efforts which have been made or how to design a formula to calculate the allotment in the distribution of centrally-allotted tax revenues. Up to this point, there has been no research on the influence of regulations governing the distribution of centrally-allotted tax revenues on fiscal efforts in Taiwan.
This research uses data collected for the years from 2001 to 2005 and applies the OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) statistical model to explore how the current allocation system influences the fiscal effort of local governments.
The results show that there is a negative relationship between the use of centrally-allotted tax revenues, the fiscal ability of the local government, and the general subsidies provided by the central government in comparison with the fiscal efforts of local governments and a positive relationship between revenue derived from local governments in comparison with such efforts. Also, the use of the dummy variable of regions shows a significantly positive relationship for the northern, central, and southern regions when compared with the eastern region and the use of the dummy variable of time shows a significantly negative relationship for the years 2001, 2003, 2004, and 2005 when compared with the year 2002.

人民幣國際化背景下的兩岸資本跨境流通 / The Flow of Fund between Mainland China and Taiwan under the Background of Internationalization of RMB徐航, Xu, Hang Unknown Date (has links)
兩岸經貿在政治的隔閡與反復中,從小到大,從封閉到逐漸開放。在這個過程中,兩岸資金融通的不斷擴大成為這場華麗經濟表演的背景。但隨著人民幣在國際舞台角色變化,兩岸貨幣流通從背景中走出,金融合作發展甚至可能成為兩岸經濟未來的最重要之組成。
從法律角度審視兩岸跨境資金流通,繁瑣的管制措施與複雜的法律體系正在逐漸消減。從直接投資角度而言,對外中國大陸不斷推動外商投資企業法規的改制以吸引外商投資;對內則努力減少中國企業融資阻礙,以推動中國大陸企業走出去。而台灣雖然對於陸資仍然保持著較大的戒心,亦逐步放開對大陸投資管制,並開放陸資來台來台促進經濟發展。從間接投資角度而言,中國大陸逐步放開資本項下的管制, QDII、QFII等投資管道不斷推陳出新,更加開放的未來成為可能。
而在這場以人民幣國際化為目的的改革中,自貿區扮演了急先鋒的角色。自貿區階段式的政策開放有著中國大陸改革和法律變遷的典型特征,「試點—推廣」模式使自貿區走在了人民幣國際化的最前沿。而台灣的自由經濟示範區卻步入了困境。
自貿區的現在很大可能將會是中國大陸的未來,人民幣國際化成為一個大概率事件。面對這種未來,台灣可以如何應對?從法律角度而言,本文提出以下四個建議:1.推動兩岸貿易以本幣結算,深化兩岸經貿往來;2.建立雙邊貨幣交換機制,共同推動人民幣區域化及國際化;3.推動兩岸資本市場的交流與合作,建構台灣為人民幣離岸中心;4.推動兩岸金融監理合作、建置兩岸金融防火牆。 / The economic and trade have developed since 1980s though faced with the political barriers. The two sides is expected to work together in peace in the future.
From the perspective of cross-border capital flow, the two sides set up a complicated and complex control measures, forming a complex legal system. From the view of direct investment, China is currently promoting the restructuring of foreign investment enterprises and regulations to attract foreign investment. Reducing the financing pressure of Chinese enterprises and promoting the Chinese mainland enterprises to go out become one of the focus of the mainland policy. However, Taiwan resist the Chinese capital. From the perspective of indirect investment, China's mainland is currently expanding various investment pipelines, such as QDII, QFII, etc.. In the future, capital of cross-border capital flows will be more convenient. Taiwan also has more space to intervene.
The establishment of free trade zone has become the pioneer of China's financial reform, and its development has been the most advanced in the financial reform, capital projects and the internationalization of RMB. Negative list and a series of financial reform measures will gradually move to the country. Taiwan's free economic demonstration zone has entered a difficult situation.
Facing such a future, from a legal point of view, this paper puts forward the following five suggestions: 1. Promote cross-strait trade in local currency settlement, deepen economic and trade exchanges between the two sides; 2. The establishment of bilateral currency exchange mechanism, and jointly promote the RMB regionalization and internationalization; 3. To promote exchanges and cooperation on both sides of the capital market, build Taiwan as an offshore RMB Centre; 4. To promote cross-strait financial supervisory cooperation, build cross-strait financial firewall.

Three essays on evolving regulatory climates and market adjustment strategiesUrmanbetova, Asel 21 September 2015 (has links)
This dissertation consists of three empirical analyses examining the interactive and evolving nature of government regulations and how the regulated industries respond to the changes in the regulatory climate. Using the U.S. pulp and paper mills as an example, the three essays bring together a number of strands of literature in environmental economics and policy studies discussing how changes in the U.S. environmental policy are shaped by industry concerns and which strategies firms choose in order to adjust to the changes in policy. Essay 1 examines if, in addition to the standard input factors, indirect costs associated with tax and environmental policies affect papermakers’ ‘stay put’ investment decisions. The findings suggest that state environmental stringency has a negative impact on investments, but it is statistically insignificant and higher taxes do not deter investments. The Essay 2 studies whether voluntary abatement and prevention efforts at pulp and paper mills affects regulatory stringency they face. The analysis tests the hypotheses of ‘responsive regulation’ and whether regulators are driven by numerical pollution targets or budgetary constraints. The findings suggest that voluntary pollution abatement and prevention have greater impact on regulatory stringency than government budgets. Finally, Essay 3 analyzes the relationship between pollution prevention (P2) policy instruments and adoption of P2 modifications. The study tests the hypotheses of whether P2 policy instruments have positive impact on P2 adoptions. The results suggest that the policy instruments have different effects on different types of P2 modifications and that regulatory and political threat is a strong predictor of P2 adoptions.

Influence of Fenugreek gum on bread and in vitro physiological effectsRoberts, Keisha 18 May 2012 (has links)
ABSTRACT
Influence of fenugreek gum on bread and in vitro physiological effects
Keisha T. Roberts Advisors:
University of Guelph Dr. S.W. Cui
Professor T.E. Graham
This thesis examined the effect of fenugreek gum, from Canadian grown fenugreek on bread quality, when substituted for wheat flour at 5 % and 10 %, and the in vitro physiological effects of these breads, based on models of acute and long - term feeding. Study I determined bread could be produced with 10 % fenugreek gum, while maintaining quality parameters of volume and texture, comparable to a control. This was accomplished through the development of a novel bread production method, using the lamination procedure for puff pastry production. The behavior of fenugreek gum and starch (wheat flour) was determined by rapid visco analysis (RVA), farinograph and dynamic rheological measurement, while scanning electron microscopy of bread found fenugreek gum could be identified within the bread matrix. Study 2 in vitro starch digestion found fenugreek gum at 5 % and 10 % reduced glucose liberated from bread, with 10 % fenugreek gum causing a reduction of over 30 %. RVA of fenugreek breads highlighted differences in viscosity between breads and wheat flour substituted with the gum. This was substantial as viscosity measurements by RVA are conducted on raw ingredients and not the food as consumed, which reflects the possible reduction in viscosity with food processing. This study also determined extruding fenugreek gum may have caused morphological changes to the gum, which may possibly contribute to attenuation of glucose liberated in vitro. Study 3 evaluated the accumulation of short chain fatty acids (SCFA) from the fermentation of three substrates: Extruded fenugreek gum, bread with 10 % extruded gum and control bread, based on fecal microbiota from three donors. SCFA profiles varied with substrates and donors, with fenugreek gum having the highest accumulation of SCFA after 12 hours. Donors were a caucuasian Canadian, a black Jamaican and a black Trinidadian who was the only donor culturally exposed to fenugreek. This Trinidadian’s SCFA profiles were consistently higher for fenugreek gum than the other donors. These studies collectively showed fenugreek gum, though viscous could be successfully incorporated into bread and have potential as a functional food and nutraceutical.

L'utilisation des cellules souches embryonnaires à des fins thérapeutiquesDrouin, Érika Véronique 09 1900 (has links)
La découverte des cellules souches embryonnaires et de leur immense potentiel
thérapeutique a fait naître de grands espoirs. De nouvelles thérapies révolutionnaires pour
traiter certaines des maladies les plus graves dont souffre l'humanité sont désormais
envisageables. Le traitement de la vie à son stade le plus précoce est mis en cause. Le
statut juridique reconnu au foetus et à l'embryon humain a des répercussions directes sur
le domaine de la recherche et sur leur utilisation à des fins thérapeutiques. Nous avons
examiné l'état du droit canadien quant au statut juridique du foetus et de l'embryon. De
cette étude, nous avons constaté l'incertitude qui prévaut au Canada quant à leur statut.
Par la suite, nous avons étudié les différentes normes canadiennes établies pour encadrer
l'utilisation des cellules souches embryonnaires à des fins thérapeutiques et nous les
avons analysées et comparées pour faire ressortir leurs similitudes et leurs différences. II
est ressorti de notre analyse que les textes canadiens se rejoignent généralement sur
l'essentiel et qu'il y a eu peu de changements de 1993 à aujourd'hui, en regard des
activités de recherche interdites au Canada. Puis, nous avons examiné les systèmes
normatifs applicables à ces recherches à l'étranger, soit aux États-Unis et en GrandeBretagne.
Nous avons effectué une analyse comparative des trois systèmes normatifs
étudiés, en évaluant différents paramètres communs à ces systèmes. Il est ressorti de cette
analyse, que la Grande-Bretagne est le pays le plus libéral relativement à ces domaines de
recherche, que les États-Unis sont les plus conservateurs sur ces questions et que le
Canada se situe entre les deux. / The embryonic stem cells discovery and the immense therapeutic potential glven
to them has created big hopes in the world of today. The appearance of new revolutionary
therapies to treat sorne of the most serious known diseases are now conceivable. However,
the treatment of life to its earliest stage is questionned. The legal status recognized to the
foetus and the embryo has, in fact, a direct effect to the research area and industry as weil
as to its therapeutic use. Therefore, we have examined and studied the CUITent canadian
law with respect to the legal status of the foetus and embryo. Following this study, we have
noticed the uncertainty that prevails in Canada concerning the said legal status. Afierwards,
we have examined ail the different canadian norms and regulations already established
regarding the use of embryonic stem cells for therapeutic ends. We also did the
comparaison between those norms and regulations so as to see their differences and
similarities. It appears from our analysis that ail the canadian litterature generally treat the
subject in the same way and that there have been few changes from 1993 up until now with
respect to the forbidden researchs activities in Canada. We also have analysed the foreign
law standards and regulations in United States and Great Britain concerning those
forbidden researchs activities. We did the exercise of comparing the state of the law in
these three countries with different parameters. It emerges from that that Great Britain is
the most liberal country, United States being the most conservative and Canada being in
between them. / "Mémoire présenté à la Faculté des études supérieures en vue de l'obtention du grade de Maîtrise en droit (L.L.M.) Option recherche"

Perceptions of taxi-owners towards the government's recapitalization scheme : a case study of taxi-owners in Pietermartizburg.Magubane, Nelisiwe. January 2003 (has links)
The South African taxi industry has experienced large-scale growth in the nineteen nineties and increased its share of the passenger transport market to a majority. However, it tends to suffer from various problems and has been subject to interventions from various quarters, the most recent being the Central Government's recapitalization scheme. The aim of this research was to investigate the perceptions of taxi-owners vis-a-vis the Government's Recapitalization Scheme. More specifically, the objectives were: • To critically appraise the government's recapitalization scheme with a view to assessing its impact on the taxi industry • To establish the economic problems that are faced by the taxi industry in achieving development, thereby empowering the industry and • To identify the capacity-building needs of the taxi-owners. Consequently, while recognizing the notion that 'poor understanding of taxi-owners towards the government's recapitalization scheme has led to resistance on their side'; this research maintains that the taxi-owners' main expectation of the government's recapitalization scheme relates to black economic empowerment. Hence, the view that the government should assist the taxi industry to face the current development challenges. Using both qualitative and quantitative methods, the study focused on short distance taxi-owners under Umsunduzi one municipality in Pietermaritzburg. The main focus of this research was on their perceptions towards the proposed government's recapitalization scheme. Of the 137 taxi-owners, representing 21 Associations, in Pietermaritzburg, the majority of the respondents have positive perceptions towards the scheme. One other concern raised was that the proposed vehicles are too big and that the scheme would impact negatively on some owners who operate on routes where there is only a small number of commuters, as a result the new vehicle will take time to fill with the required number of passengers. The other concern was that some of the drivers and conductors, who are sometimes bread-winners in their homes, were going to lose their jobs. However, they felt that to run their businesses effectively, they would benefit from the government assistance in terms of business skills, education and training. The taxi-owners interviewed, felt that the government is taking too long to implement the scheme and they suggested that the government speed up the process. In addition to the recapitalization scheme, the taxi-owners felt that the government should provide the infrastructure for the scheme, for example taxi ranks with facilities. The taxi-owners believe that conflict within the industry is a threat to their business and they felt that the government should assist them in solving this problem. Findings show that taxi-owners in Pietermaritzburg support the proposed recapitalization scheme. However, some of the taxi-owners are still not clear about the whole process of the recapitalization scheme. The taxi-owners suggested therefore, that the government should communicate more with the taxi-owners in order to implement the scheme successfully. Furthermore, government intervention is required so as to capacitate the taxi-owners by providing them with relevant skills. Infrastructure improvement is required so as to make the taxi business viable. / Thesis (M.A.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2003.

Makt utan magi : En studie av chefers yrkeskunnandeSnickare, Lotta January 2012 (has links)
What do executives do, and how do their actions impact on the company’s results? Questions such as these are constantly targeted in leadership research. Despite thousands of reports in the field, there is no consensus on what the concept of leadership entails. Nor can companies and organisations be said to have a clear idea of what executives actually do. Nevertheless, the investments in leadership development seem to indicate that executives are considered vital to the company’s results. The vague notions about what executive work entails, together with assumptions concerning their importance to the company or organisation, lend a certain magical aura to their work. In this study, executives are regarded as a professional category, and are consequently examined with a qualitative method whereby the professionals begin by reflecting in writing on their skills, and then take part in a group discussion on their skills based on their written reflections. This method, known as the dialogue seminar method, has been used on other professional categories with good results. Since executives have not previously been studied in terms of their skills, the results have been compared to leadership research. Leadership studies with a gender perspective have shown that gender impacts on the likelihood of obtaining and practising executive positions and skills. Therefore, the results of this study have also been analysed from a gender perspective. The skills of executives and other staff are described as the capacity to follow rules, i.e. interpreting rules and then applying them in concrete situations. A rule says nothing about how it should be followed, however. If the way in which a rule should be followed were to be described in a rule, another rule would be needed to describe how that rule should be followed, and so on, ad infinitum. Thus, rules must be interpreted as something that requires access to an “archive” of examples. One specific executive skill consists of developing co-workers’ rule-following skills. For executives, following the rules involves making decisions based on tacit knowledge. Tacit knowledge, in turn, is based on an inner vision of what is taking place right now in the organisation, and what is crucial to customers, employees, the organisation and the world at large. It also includes understanding people’s urges, thoughts, needs, wishes, and what they are saying. Tacit knowledge develops in the interplay between reflecting over examples and taking strategic action. Decision-making situations can often be unclear and contradictory. Therefore the executive’s skills must include the ability to handle uncertainty in three different ways. The first is by being honest about the fact that all decisions cannot be made, and that some decisions take time. The second is explaining to employees that an organisation cannot be entirely regulated by guidelines, and that judgement in the form of reflected experience is therefore a crucial element in all action. The third is coping with the fact that an executive position does not automatically entail being able to make the right decision. Thus, the executive must accommodate uncertainty in the world at large, the employees’ uncertainty, and his or her own uncertainty. Empirical analysis also highlights another aspect of executive skills. Executives need to be fast, not merely in the sense of having a high work capacity, but in the sense of never saying no or questioning deliveries. Above all, comparisons with leadership research reveal differences in the interpretation of empirical data. The way in which executives follow rules, for instance, is also described in research on leadership, but only as a phenomenon linked with unusual situations, as when executives need to take emergency action in unforeseen circumstances, or make decisions in cases that are not covered by the general rules, rather than as a day-to-day occurrence. Similarly, there is a difference in perspectives on handling uncertainty. In leadership research, this is described as the executive dealing with something that has gone wrong and putting it right. In the study at hand, the concept is expanded, to demonstrate that the executive’s actions can involve accommodating the worries that this uncertainty breeds within the organisation. Empirical data do not show any differences in the descriptions of the executive skills of women and men. Women and men practise these executive skills similarly. Men’s tendency to identify themselves with senior management, however, is interpreted as a sign of homosocial structures in the organisation. The fact that men are more ambivalent than women faced with the opportunity and responsibility of promoting change consequently indicates that admittance into a homosocial structure restricts their freedom of action. There is a difference, however, between the executive skills of women and men in that women, unlike men, have to relate to the issue of their own gender. Their approach to this can vary between two leadership discourses; one that is gender-neutral, and one where gender is significant. Women’s knowledge of how gender is constructed in organisations, in leadership and in other structures and processes, is thus included in the tacit knowledge that comprises their skills. Keywords: executive, manager, management, leadership, gender, skills, tacit knowledge, follow rules, breaking rules, rules, decision-making, accommodate uncertainty, homosocial structures. / Vad en chef gör och vilken betydelse chefens agerande har för företagets resultat är frågor som ständigt sysselsätter ledarskapsforskare. Men trots många tusen studier finns det inom forskningen inte någon gemensam uppfattning om vad begreppet ledarskap innebär. Inte heller inom företag och organisationer finns någon tydlig bild av vad chefer egentligen gör. Däremot visar till exempel satsningar på ledarutveckling att cheferna uppfattas som mycket viktiga för företagets resultat. Otydligheten i vad chefers arbete innebär tillsammans med föreställningen om chefens betydelse för företag och organisationer resulterar i att bilden av chefers arbete får inslag av magi. I den här studien ses chefskap som ett yrke och undersöks därför med en kvalitativ metod som innebär att yrkesutövare först skriftligt reflekterar över sitt yrkeskunnande och sedan i grupp diskuterar yrkeskunnandet utifrån de skriftliga reflektionerna. Metoden som kallas dialogseminariemetoden har använts i andra yrkesgrupper än chefer med goda resultat. Eftersom chefers yrkeskunnande inte tidigare undersökts som yrkeskunnande har resultaten jämförts med ledarskapsforskning. Att kön har betydelse för förutsättningarna att få och att utöva chefskap visas i ledarskapsforskning med könsperspektiv. Därför har även studiens resultat analyserats ur detta forskningsperspektiv. Yrkeskunnande för såväl chefer som medarbetare beskrivs som regelföljande det vill säga att tolka regler och därefter agera i en konkret situation. En regel säger ingenting om hur den ska följas. Om följandet av en regel skulle beskrivas i en regel skulle följandet av denna regel behöva beskrivas i en regel och så vidare i all oändlighet. Istället måste regler tolkas något som kräver tillgång till ett ”bibliotek” av exempel. Ett specifikt yrkeskunnande för chefer är att utveckla medarbetarnas yrkeskunnande i form av regelföljande. För chefer innebär regelföljande att fatta beslut utifrån tyst kunskap. Den tysta kunskapen bygger på en inre bild av vad som händer just nu i verksamheten och är viktigt för kunder, medarbetare, organisation och omvärld. Samt en förståelse för vad människor drivs av, tänker, behöver, önskar och säger. Den tysta kunskapen byggs upp i ett växelspel mellan reflektion över exempel och ett strategiskt agerande. Ofta är beslutssituationerna otydliga och motstridiga. Det innebär att chefens yrkeskunnande innebär att härbärgera osäkerhet på tre olika sätt. Det första genom att stå för att alla beslut inte kan fattas och att vissa inte kan fattas snabbt. Det andra genom att tydliggöra för medarbetarna att verksamheten inte går att fullt ut styra med regelverk och att omdöme i form av reflekterad erfarenhet därför är en viktig del i allt handlande. Det tredje genom att hantera insikten om att chefspositionen inte automatiskt innebär att det går att fatta rätt beslut. Chefen härbärgerar således omvärldens osäkerhet, medarbetarnas osäkerhet och den egna osäkerheten. I analys av empirin framkommer också en annan aspekt av chefers yrkeskunnande. Chefer måste vara snabba, inte bara i betydelsen att ha hög arbetskapacitet utan också som att aldrig säga nej till eller ifrågasätta leveranser. Jämförelsen med ledarskapsforskning visar framför allt på skillnader i tolkningen av empirin. Chefers regelföljande beteende beskrivs till exempel även inom ledarskapsforskningen. Men där beskrivs det som något som sker ibland, att chefen gör en brandkårsutryckning när något oväntat händer eller fattar beslut i de fall som inte hanteras av regelverken, inte som något som sker ständigt. På samma sätt finns en skillnad i synen på hanterandet av osäkerhet. Det beskrivs inom ledarskapsforskningen som att chefen hanterar det som gått fel och ställer allt till rätta. I denna studie utvecklas begreppet genom att visa att hanterandet för chefen kan innebära att härbärgera den oro osäkerheten medför i organisationen. Empirin visar inte några skillnader mellan kvinnor och män i beskrivningarna av chefers yrkeskunnande. Kvinnor och män utövar chefskap på samma sätt. Männens identifikation med högre chefer tolkas dock som tecken på homosociala strukturer i organisationen. Att männen är mer ambivalenta än kvinnorna till både möjligheten och det egna ansvaret för att driva förändring innebär då att upptagande i en homosocial struktur begränsar handlingsutrymmet. Däremot finns det en skillnad mellan kvinnors och mäns yrkeskunnande som chefer på så sätt att kvinnor till skillnad från män måste förhålla sig till sitt kön. Kvinnorna väljer att hantera detta genom att växla mellan två ledarskapsdiskurser; en könsneutral och en där kön har betydelse. Kvinnornas kunskap om hur kön görs i organisationer, i konstruktionen av ledarskap såväl som i övriga strukturer och processer, är således en del i den tysta kunskap som utgör deras yrkeskunnande. / <p>QC 20120514</p>

Genetiškai modifikuotų organizmų gamybos ir naudojimo teisinis reguliavimas bei įtaka aplinkai ir visuomenei / Legal regulations on production and use of genetically modified organisms and effects of GMO on the environment and to societyPetruškevičiūtė, Erika 03 June 2014 (has links)
Magistro baigiamajame darbe atskleista, kad daugelis respondentų yra neapsisprendę dėl savo pozicijos GMO gamybos bei naudojimo atžvilgiu, tačiau beveik trečdalis asmenų GMO gamybai bei naudojimui nepritaria. Dauguma gyventojų mano, kad GMO ne tik kenkia žmogaus sveikatai, bet ir yra pavojingi, taip pat kenkia aplinkai, o GMO turinčių produktų naudojimas gali negrįžtamai pakeisti genetinį žmogaus kodą ir augalų bei gyvūnų populiacijose gali sukelti negrįžtamus mutacinius pokyčius. Vis dėlto GMO produkciją kai kurie gyventojai linkę naudoti dėl mažesnės jų kainos ir ilgesnio vartojimo galiojimo termino. Nors kai kurie respondentai ir buvo įsitikinę GMO teikiama nauda bei tolimesniu GMO gamybos bei naudojimo plitimu ateityje, tačiau beveik visi respondentai buvo įsitikinę ir tuo, jog GMO gamyba bei naudojimu labiausiai suinteresuotos yra kuo didesnio pelno siekiančios monopolinės kampanijos. Vienareikšmiškai galima teigti, jog nors gyventojai apie GMO informacijos daugiausiai ir gauna iš televizijos laidų, pokalbių su draugais pažįstamais ar giminaičiais bei iš spaudos leidinių arba naršydami internete, tačiau tos informacijos kiekis yra nepakankamas ir daugiau kaip pusė respondentų norėtų, jog informacijos apie GMO būtų pateikiama daugiau. / The 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.
