However, an important step towards their success in the bioeconomy is consumers’ acceptance and sustainable consumption of these materials. Highlighting the power of narratives, this paper looks at the symbolic nature of fungi and discusses how common perceptions can be reshaped through narrative structures. We first identify common expectations, hopes and fears of fungi and then focus on how potentially negative beliefs or fears regarding fungal-based materials can be transformed through disseminating and reframing scientific information in a narrative structure. Specifically, we discuss characteristics of a story that can induce changes in attitudes and behaviours among consumers to induce sustainable consumer choices. To adjust and promote these sustainable narratives within the society, we suggest innovative science communication and especially citizen participation formats as adequate tools.","PeriodicalId":46877,"journal":{"name":"Innovation-The European Journal of Social Science Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76405751","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

New paradigms such as smart campuses are becoming increasingly popular in response to these new needs. This work has sought to shed light on some of the research gaps that still exist in this area of study, focusing on how the university community perceives this new model of university. Based on the information gathered from a sample of 405 members of the university community of the Alcoy Campus of the Universitat Politècnica de València in Spain, the results obtained in this research reveal a significant interest in the smart campus paradigm, albeit uneven among the different groups of university members. In addition, respondents showed a greater preference for strategies linked to the smart axes of Welfare, Environment and Education, Innovation and Research than for those based on purely technological aspects. All these findings may have relevant implications for educational research as well as for university policies and strategies.","PeriodicalId":46877,"journal":{"name":"Innovation-The European Journal of Social Science Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86395830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sönmez","doi":"10.30520/tjsosci.1168310","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.30520/tjsosci.1168310","url":null,"abstract":"While the idea that Aphrodite was specifically \"caught\" naked while bathing is sufficient to justify her nudity in the making of the statue, it shows us that the Greeks particularly disliked female nudity. In Cnidos, Medici and Capitoline Aphrodites, it shows that the goddess was caught while taking a bath due to the presence of the hydria vessel, and her slouched posture and her trying to cover her most private parts in addition to her draped outfits showed that she had a certain shyness. While the apparent nakedness of the strong male body was admirable, it was not easy to break a woman's nudity and with it a social taboo; therefore, it was considered inappropriate for women to appear naked. From this need for justification for nudity, we can deduce that the role of women in society was to present a clothed, modest appearance to reinforce her chastity. The Aphrodite of Cnidos was one of the important steps that started to destroy the determined female role. Despite the general nakedness of the Cnidos statue, there is no sign of the vulva. This fit with the idea that women were not sexually aggressive, even divine. Aphrodite, as the goddess of sexuality and love, represented the goddess who preserves her strength instead of covering her groin, and therefore a female audience began to appear to protect her own sexual power. In Aphrodite's case, she personifies love and sexuality; so she was responsible for representing what love and sexuality should look like, and her influence on women became more acutely felt and imitated. Apart from the message that Aphrodite gave to women during the Hellenistic Period, she also had a different appeal to the male world: naked and sensual. The fact that Aphrodite began to appear naked in public has turned gender roles upside down.","PeriodicalId":46877,"journal":{"name":"Innovation-The European Journal of Social Science Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72372226","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is based on the concept of environmental education, active and healthy ageing as well as generativity, and also takes into account trust in sources of environmental knowledge. In the course of quantitative research (n = 401) carried out among Poles 55+ in order to validate it, the perception of environmental issues, the awareness of and motivation for undertaking pro-environmental actions, and the credibility of sources of knowledge about environmental behaviour were examined. Elderly individuals in Poland express their belief in the need to take care of the natural environment. They are afraid that maintaining the status quo will cause permanent damage to the environment. In their opinion, pro-environmental behaviour is necessary to save the planet. These key conclusions have confirmed the correctness of the assumptions about the need for environmental education of the elderly, leading primarily to their environmental activation. Varied assessments of the credibility of sources of environmental knowledge indicate the need to assign them adequate priorities in the environmental education of the elderly. Our findings have important implications for shaping non-formal environmental education of seniors.","PeriodicalId":46877,"journal":{"name":"Innovation-The European Journal of Social Science Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74739720","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Identifiable under the umbrella term of ‘grand challenges’ (Kuhlmann and Rip 2014), these latter concern issues such as climate change, pollution, reduction of equality and poverty, and they match the UN Sustainable Development Goals published in 2015, which push for inclusive and sustainable production systems and consumption. It is therefore not surprising that, in recent years, this approach has been acknowledged and supported by the OECD (2015) – then becoming the topic of policy discussions in several contexts, and with the expectation that science, technology and innovation policies are the main instruments with which to meet the aforesaid challenges (see, among others: Steward 2012; Weber and Rohracher 2012). This alignment between innovation objectives and social and environmental challenges is envisaged within the same innovation policy literature that calls for a new, third frame – the so-called transformative change approach to innovation (Schot and Steinmueller 2018). Compared to the previous two frames identified as co-existing and dominant within the innovation policy literature in recent decades (Soete 2007), the basic idea underlying the ‘transformative change’ approach is that innovation is the main driver with which to create a better world of more sustainable and inclusive societies with policies that can lead to higher labor productivity and both economic and green growth (Boon and Edler 2018; Kattel and Mazzuccato 2018). Innovation policies are in fact expected to reduce inequality through the creation of the new job opportunities that both growth and income redistribution can generate. At the same time, this growth needs to be pursued simultaneously with public investment in clean technologies, a cleaner environment, and reduced pollution. A paradigm-shift is thus expected, and it requires a radical change of policy direction from short-term economic growth towards a new form of system-change-oriented policy-making and a holistic approach to innovation policy – now definable as ‘innovation policy 3.0’ (Karo and Kattel 2016). It is now established within the academic literature (see, among others: Casula 2022; Schot and Steinmueller 2018; Smits, Kuhlmann, and Shapira 2010; Fagerberg 2016) that the study of transformative change increasingly requires an interdisciplinary approach to the analysis of current policy-making dynamics related to science, technology and innovation. This interdisciplinary perspective – which involves governance, development, and historical studies beyond the traditional economics and innovation ones – is justified by","PeriodicalId":46877,"journal":{"name":"Innovation-The European Journal of Social Science Research","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2022-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81902808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
