New Zealand is known around the world as a country that is clean, green and “100% Pure.” The existence of genetically modified organisms in New Zealand is generally viewed as inconsistent with this identity, and there is therefore considerable public controversy surrounding research that utilises genetic modification techniques. In this paper, I examine the variety of interacting factors that are serving to shape this controversy, the influence it is having on research practices, and the implications for future risk management policy.

Completou-se 30 anos do desastre com o Césio 137, ocorrido na cidade de Goiânia, considerado o maior desastre radioativo do mundo, fora de usinas nucleares. O descarte indevido de um aparelho de radiografia contendo uma cápsula de Césio 137 conjugada a falta de conhecimento e informação sobre as propriedades do material gerou este acidente sem precedentes. O desastre atingiu direta e indiretamente milhares de pessoas, com danos inclusive transtemporais. O objetivo deste artigo é apresentar os fatos que ensejaram o desastre e, por outro lado, ressaltar a importância do acesso à informação para uma efetiva gestão dos riscos. Diante disso, como metodologia se utilizará a pesquisa bibliográfica e a matriz sistêmico-construtivista, demonstrando o funcionamento sistêmico da sociedade, a velocidade das transformações do mundo globalizado, e, portanto, as incertezas e riscos gerados com os quais a comunidade não está suficientemente preparada para enfrentar, o que demanda uma adequada gestão de riscos para a prevenção de desastres.

Abstract Conditions and evidence continue to evolve related to the prediction of the prevalence of immunodeficiency-associated long-term vaccine-derived poliovirus (iVDPV) excreters, which affect assumptions related to forecasting risks and evaluating potential risk management options. Multiple recent reviews provided information about individual iVDPV excreters, but inconsistencies among the reviews raise some challenges. This analysis revisits the available evidence related to iVDPV excreters and provides updated model estimates that can support future risk management decisions. The results suggest that the prevalence of iVDPV excreters remains highly uncertain and variable, but generally confirms the importance of managing the risks associated with iVDPV excreters throughout the polio endgame in the context of successful cessation of all oral poliovirus vaccine use.

The article explores investment position of pension funds which become important actors in the national economies and world investment flows; with comparative analysis of the pension funds based in different countries with different models of pension systems and investment regulatory practices. The role of pension funds as investors is based on accumulating growing funding which become nearly half of total OECD gross domestic product. The assets of pension funds in the second decade of the century are concentrated in US, United Kingdom, Canada, with pension funds in other countries less than 5% for each country. But assets of pension funds based in some other countries show significant growth. The article focuses on the pension funds’ assets structure and compares those in different countries. The perspectives of investment pension assets in the national economies and abroad will depend among other factors on the regulation of pension funds and their investments. Focusing on ensuring better access to different investment opportunities in the domestic market and abroad should go hand in hand with raising standards of risk management in pension fund investment.
