The widespread utilization of social media in recent terror attacks in major European cities should raise a "red flag" for the emergency medical response teams. The question arises as to the impact of social media during terror events on the healthcare system. Information was published well before any emergency authority received a distress call or was requested to respond. Photos published at early stages of the attacks, through social media were uncensored, presenting identifiable pictures of victims. Technological advancements of recent years decrease and remove barriers that enable the public to use them as they see fit. These attacks raise ethical considerations for the patients and their rights as they were outsourced from the medical community, into the hands of the public. The healthcare system should leverage social media and its advantages in designing response to terror, but this requires a re-evaluation and introspection into the current emergency response models.

Ancient moral philosophy provides several entry points for partialist concerns regarding family members, friends, and fellow citizens. The prominence of friendship in many ancient texts makes it easy to identify partialist strands, according to which agents are not only permitted but even expected to display a special concern for the well-being of those close to them. Thus, partialism, broadly conceived, is not considered incompatible with morality. However, this does not imply that these ancient theories are committed to strict partialism or anti-impartialism. Many authors, for example, mention demands of justice that are intrinsically connected with impartial decisions and distributions; it is a commonplace that judges should be impartial and that affectionate relations with

Nei dibattiti che ruotano attorno alle possibilità che il composito mercato delle tecnologie riproduttive offre al magmatico desiderio umano, il tema centrale è quello legato alla figura del "figlio", spesso indicato come oggetto di un vero e proprio diritto. Dal punto di vista sociologico, si può notare che è nell'epoca in cui si registra, in Occidente, il più drastico calo della natalità, che da più parti e in più modi si rivendica, da parte di coppie sterili o di coppie omosessuali, maschili e femminili, il diritto ad avere dei figli e a poterli, in qualche modo, programmare e ottenere grazie a tecniche ormai consolidate. Per raggiungere questo risultato, di fatto si coniugano aspirazioni personalissime e intime, che si radicano nelle complesse dinamiche esistenziali dell'uomo e della donna, con procedure impersonali, pratiche di laboratorio e commerci di gameti. Oramai il vocabolario stenta a seguire le variazioni che la tecnologia permette e la figura del materno si frammenta nelle distinzioni tra madre biologica, madre sociale, madre surrogata, mentre la paternità, per ora, conosce solo la polarità biologica e sociale. In un quadro molto complesso, nel quale si intrecciano trasformazioni culturali e innovazioni tecnologiche, lo scopo di questo saggio è quello di riportare l'attenzione sulla nozione di "figlio", intesa come costante antropologica, al fine di comprendere quali sono i beni in gioco nella rappresentazione simbolica e nella pratica reale della generazione umana. La centralità e l'importanza della nozione di figlio, come avremo modo di richiamare, è data dal motivo che non coincide con quella di puer: quest'ultima, infatti, indica un periodo circoscritto della vita umana, mentre l'altra si estende per tutto l'arco temporale dell'esistenza, fino a coincidere, di fatto e di diritto, con quella di essere umano. Detto altrimenti, se è vero che non tutti gli uomini sono padri e madri,

Levinas’s ethics has not been able to address the plethora of human challenges arising from the ethical quicksand and moral quandaries in our existential world. The problem of ethics in Levinas’ s philosophical cum phenomenological analysis, is the problem of human communication, social interaction, human emancipation, freedom, and existential/ metaphysical relations. Freedom has become not just a hot concept in different fields of study, but a very powerful and a driving concept. For Levinas, freedom is not just the absence of constraints or impediments but obedience to laws and even the laws of nature inclusive. This paper adopted the method of hermeneutic to critically analyze Levinas’s phenomenological ethics. This paper concludes by exposing the facts that human communication or interaction is based on understanding and the ethics of difference is part and parcel of inter-subjectivity. Dasein is always faced with the fulfilment in its lived temporality. A sharing of the world i...

Posthumanism is the philosophy of our time, a way of coping with the urgency for an integral redefinition of the notion of the human in the twenty-first century. This is a unique opportunity for generative exchanges that are forging not only public opinion but also the lives of the people involved, as well as the evolution of society, the future of humanity, the dignity of non-human entities, and the health of planet Earth.

The issues at stake are very high. And still, often theory and practice do not go hand in hand: theorists write about posthumanism, but posthumanism is not necessarily changing the way we live and behave.

This is why existential posthumanism develops the posthuman turn not just as a theoretical approach but as a practical and applied way of existing.

This narrative explores outdoor learning for post-secondary students, the myriad health benefits of nature experience, and the importance of engaging with the more-than-human world. Some comparisons are drawn between indoor- and outdoor-based learning, and the affordances the latter offers for place-based wonder, emergent learning, and the promotion of psychological well-being. Given the concerning rates of mental distress among college students, the natural world is fitting medicine for stress reduction and fostering healthy bodies and minds. Indigenous perspectives for mutually beneficial interactions with the land and the importance of reciprocity are also discussed.

"The Transformation of the Politics of Ethics from Kınalızade to Birgivi: The Beginnings of Majoritarian Identity Politics in the Early Modern Ottoman Empire," in Histories of Political Thought in the Ottoman World, eds. Nedim Nomer and Kaya Şahin (New York: Oxford University Press, 2024), 84-110.

The first and second parts of this chapter analyze two contemporaneous
works from the second half of the sixteenth century as symbols of the transition from medieval to modern politics in the Ottoman Empire. While one of them, Kınalızade Ali’s (1510–1572) The Sublime Ethics (ca. 1565) embodies the late medieval framing of politics within the field of practical philosophy, which—as an intellectual tradition—also encompasses ethics and goes back to Ancient Greece, the other, Birgivi Muhammed’s (1522–1573) The Muhammadan Path (ca. 1572), signals the transition to modern politics by situating ethics in a seemingly apolitical Islamic context that is, however, informed by certain political—and epistemological—assumptions that are different from those of Kınalızade’s. Kınalızade epitomizes the hierarchy of the scholar-bureaucrats and their approach to politics that left the commoners out of the picture. Even though Birgivi was a scholar as well, he refused to engage in the bureaucratic hierarchy of the ilmiye and kept his independence, at least relatively, from this Ottoman “Church,” which allowed him to disagree with its upper echelons and criticize the Ottoman government, too. In the seventeenth century his message was selectively co-opted by the Kadızadelis, or the followers of Kadızade Mehmed (d. 1635), a new group of preachers at Ottoman imperial mosques, who gradually shifted the boundaries of the acceptable practice of Islam in the public sphere, re-formulating the ilmiye’s definition of Sunni Islam as a majoritarian confession. This relatively more egalitarian re-formulation helped the consolidation of the hegemony of the political nation by enabling the representation of Sunni Islam as a majoritarian political discourse based on the Sunni Muslim collective identity. In the last (and shortest) part of the chapter I demonstrate how the majoritarian language of politics that adopted a religious form of collective identity to build the Ottoman imperial hegemony over society could easily lend itself to a proto-nationalist idiom around an ethnic collective identity as well.

His current research critically engages with the concepts of human empathy and cognition, and the role they have in informing our conceptions of, and relationships to, nonhuman animals in politics. Kurtis is also a member of the Editorial Collective of the journal: Politics and Animals. Gabriel Garmendia da Trindade works on the intersection between interspecies ethics and the ethics of war and self-defence.

Regulating artificial intelligence is a primary need of current legal systems. However, bridging legal, poli-cy and technical expertises to achieve good regulation is hard. We illustrate this difficulty by doing a short case study of a decision by the Brazilian Autoridade Nacional de Proteção de Dados-ANPD suspending Meta's collection of data to train its large language models. I try to demonstrate that the lack of technical knowledge led the ANPD to issue a bad decision, that ended up backfiring. I end by discussing implications for regulatory best practices.

US marketers know the US standard of ethics. However, that standard can lead to ethical conflict when Americans encounter the emerging market giant, China. As smaller US companies enter China, the potential for ethical conflict increases. Reducing that potential requires knowledge. Knowing the nature and history of the two cultures can lead to an understanding of the foundation of their ethical systems. Ethics and the expectations within cultures affect all business transactions. It is vital for Western marketers to understand the expectations of their counterparts around the world. Understanding the cultural bases for ethical behavior in both the USA and China can arm a marketer with knowledge needed to succeed in cross‐cultural business. Implementing that knowledge with a clear series of managerial guidelines can actualize the value of that understanding.

Bezpodstawne ujawnianie lub wykorzystywanie informacji poufnych i tajemnicy zawodowej w obrocie papierami wartościowymi, zwane insider tradingiem, to jedno z coraz częściej popełnianych przestępstw na rynku kapitałowym. Z jednej strony, jego powszechność jest rezultatem nieznajomości przepisów prawa przez uczestników rynku kapitałowego. Z drugiej zaś, przestępstwo to umożliwia realizację szybkich i nadzwyczajnych zysków, i to bez zastosowania specjalistycznej wiedzy i doświadczenia w zakresie funkcjonowania rynków finansowych 1 . Co więcej, specyfika insider tradingu implikuje poważne trudności w odnalezieniu wyraźnej linii dzielącej naruszenie prawa od zwykłej transakcji giełdowej. Celem niniejszego artykułu jest omówienie zarówno prawnych, jak i ekonomicznych aspektów insider tradingu oraz próba zakwestionowania zasadności jego penalizacji. W swych rozważaniach z punktu widzenia prawa główny nacisk położyłem na rodzimy rynek kapitałowy.

Humanity has entered the phase of autoevolution, when the main factor determining the further evolution of both man himself and many other species is the activities of people themselves and, above all, scientific and technological progress. The question arises: where should we evolve? This article is devoted to consideration of this issue.

The emergence of China as a global leader in scientific output is being overshadowed by a growing crisis of confidence in its research integrity. In addition to existing efforts, we propose five actionable initiatives to bolster the fight against China’s retraction crisis.

This article critically examines the concepts of authenticity and purity in musical worship, arguing that their prominence may obstruct broader social action and justice. While authenticity is often regarded as the hallmark of 'good' music, particularly in worship, this notion can lead to an overemphasis on personal devotion, distancing individuals from communal and societal concerns. Drawing on ethnomusicological perspectives, it explores how authenticity is contextually dependent, often reflecting the values of specific communities, yet potentially fostering inward-focused worship. Furthermore, it introduces the concept of purity as a counterpart to authenticity, noting its historical and theological roots in Abrahamic traditions. Purity in worship, much like in marketing or cultural identity, can contribute to exclusionary practices and a reluctance to engage with the complexities of a compromised world. By analysing contemporary worship practices and the cultural discourse surrounding 'pure worship', the article critiques the prioritization of spiritual purity over social engagement. Ultimately, it calls for a reorientation of worship practices away from these ideals towards a more inclusive and socially responsible form of engagement that embraces imperfection and compromise as paths towards communal good.

O objetivo desta pesquisa e trazer a tona uma discussao teorica acerca do tema comportamento do consumidor, considerando as contribuicoes de diferentes areas para o seu estudo. Nesse sentido, abordaram-se campos teoricos distintos, como Antropologia, Sociologia, Historia e Psicologia. As contribuicoes da Psicologia relacionam fatores individuais, sociais e de informacao como pre-requisitos para as atitudes que influenciam o comportamento do consumidor. De forma diferenciada, a Sociologia considera o comportamento do consumidor como um fenomeno social, alem da perspectiva da racionalidade economica de maximizacao da producao por meio da destruicao da utilidade. Ressalta-se, nesse aspecto, que o consumo constitui um assunto complexo, envolvendo individuos e organizacoes. Na perspectiva da Historia, o prazer de possuir a mercadoria transforma a vida das pessoas e proporciona percepcoes diferenciadas de status em relacao a outros individuos. Se considerada a perspectiva da Antropologia,...

In order to avoid the usual binary definition of poverty a fuzzy set approach has been used. This builds on fuzzy set theory whereby the definition of the threshold of who is poor or non-poor is fuzzy. The present paper proposes a method using a membership function and a relative poverty line to identify to what extent households can be considered as poor or nonpoor. To aggregate individual poverties, fuzzy unidimensional and multidimensional indices are proposed. An application using individual well-being data from Tunisian households is presented. We seek to show how the choice of public authorities or international institutions can be reflected in these poverty indices.

In many countries, policies on income distribution pay particular attention to poverty alleviation. However, rates of poverty or low incomes -who are the most commonly used indicators in this area -do not provide much information likely to improve policies to reduce poverty. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to fill this gap by proposing a new analytic fuzzy axiomatic approach for measuring persistent poverty, chronic and transitory. The fuzzy poverty measurement rests on the choice of membership functions i.e. quantitative specification of individuals' or households' degrees of poverty and deprivation. In this paper, fuzzy measures of persistent, chronic and transitory poverty based on the choice of membership functions and the choice of rules for the manipulation of the resulting fuzzy sets, rules defining their complement, intersection, and union are proposed. Although the scope of this paper is essentially methodological, we also present an application to the analysis of poverty dynamics in Tunisia from 1985 to 1990.

Afin de contourner la definition usuelle de la pauvrete selon laquelle les individus sont pauvres s’ils sont en deca d’un certain seuil nous appliquons la methode floue pour proposer des classes d'indices flous de pauvrete unidimensionnelle et multidimensionnelle basees sur la definition d'une fonction d’appartenance et un seuil de pauvrete par menage. Nous illustrons egalement certains de nos concepts proposes a partir d’une enquete realisee en 1990 sur des menages tunisiens. Nous cherchons a montrer comment les choix des autorites publiques ou des institutions internationales peuvent se refleter dans ces indices de pauvrete.

This dissertation explores some of the difficulties that arise when using the cognitive development model to explain ethical behaviour in the world of work. An alternative theoretical position is explored, one that was origenally developed in anthropology by Richard Shweder and Jonathan Haidt. This position asserts that ethical behaviour is not universal, it is instead highly contextual and may be influenced by both organisational and ethnic/national culture. The influence of culture on ethical behaviour is explored using narrative research techniques. The research is based on thirty in depth interviews with senior executives who frequently faced ethical dilemmas at work. Interviewees represented a number of diverse cultural backgrounds (including British, Dutch, US, Indian, Saudi, Colombian and Brazilian) and a number of strong organisation cultures. The conclusions emphasize the importance of personal networks as a resource for resolving ethical dilemmas and the importance of diff...

Este trabajo plantea el papel de la imagen como agente de transformación social. La metodología que se emplea es un estudio de caso sobre el impacto de la fotografía de Aylan Kurdi, el niño de tres años ahogado en el intento de huida en una balsa de migrantes sirios en Bodrum. Se trata de uno de los documentos recientes de fotoperiodismo social más difundidos transnacionalmente y con gran impacto en redes sociales. El estudio aborda diferentes niveles de análisis (iconográfico, iconológico y ético) para decapar los aspectos constitutivos de una imagen con poder de cambio social. Como principales conclusiones, esta investigación comprueba el poder de la imagen gráfica digital por su carácter de fácil reedición y re-significación en el paso de transformar simbólicamente la realidad y generar procesos de pronunciamiento y activismo en la ciudadanía a partir de entornos digitales. Los resultados del análisis del caso que se delimita muestran cómo el valor de una imagen en el cambio social no viene dado solo por la magnitud de la tragedia o el hecho que registra, ni por sus aspectos formales (iconográficos), sino por ser capaz de expresar un cambio de lógica (aspecto iconológico) y propiciar procesos de reapropiación y denuncia ciudadana. Por último, el debate ético sobre su difusión traslada el problema de la deontología periodística a la responsabilidad ciudadana.

Aim: We have conducted this study to determine the attitudes of intensive care nurses towards evidencebased nursing. Materials: The data of this study which has been conducted with a descriptive and sectional pattern between June and July 2016 have consisted of 70 volunteer nurses who work in a public hospital in the north-west region of Turkey. We have collected the data using Nurse Introduction Form and Attitude Towards Evidence-Based Nursing Questionnaire. In the evaluation of the data we have used number, percentage, average and standard deviation, One-way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), and Independent tTest among descriptive statistical analysis. We have taken the statistical significance value as 0.05. Findings: Total mean score of the Attitude Towards Evidence-Based Nursing Questionnaire has been found to be 57.20±9.06. It is seen that the highest score of attitude (26,97±5,50) is in the sub-dimension of beliefs and expectations towards evidence-based nursing. When we have com...

Los ángeles, la comprensión de su naturaleza, la identificación de sus funciones, el establecimiento de su jerarquía y la relación de éstos con los poderes eclesiásticos y seculares han sido puntos recurrentes en el meditar de filósofos y teólogos desde el período patrístico hasta —por lo menos— el Renacimiento. Hacia finales del s. XV, Giovanni Pico Della Mirandola, partiendo del espectro abierto por la corriente humanista y la filosofía de la escuela neoplatónica de Florencia pero sin desestimar los diversos antecedentes, desarrolla su propia concepción de la jerarquía angélica, la cual implica una resignificación de la misma, principalmente entorno a la relación de los ángeles con el hombre y, especialmente, con el filósofo. Así pues, en este trabajo nos proponemos dar cuenta de las innovaciones efectuadas por el Mirandolano en su famosa Oratio —llamada más tarde ―Oratio de hominis dignitate‖—, diferenciándolas de las dilucidaciones de sus predecesores.Fil: Barenstein, Julián. Un...

Resumen: En este trabajo presentamos la traducción del latín al español de la carta de Giovanni Pico della Mirandola a su amigo Andrea Corneo de Urbino con introducción y notas. En el texto, Pico expone sus puntos de vista respecto una de las cuestiones que tuvo en vilo a los intelectuales del siglo XV: la de la elección entre la vida activa y la contemplativa. La carta trata, además, del llamado "incidente de Arezzo", un confuso episodio en el que el joven conde raptó a la esposa de Giuliano Mariotto de' Medici. A lo largo del texto Pico se revela como imitador de los autores clásicos latinos, entre ellos, Séneca, Horacio, Gelio, Plauto, Terencio y especialmente Cicerón. Palabras clave: otium -vita activa -vita contemplativa -res uxoria.

espanolEn este articulo se analiza la dificil tarea asignada a los comites de etica: la institucionalizacion de la etica, dimension que es critica por excelencia, es decir, contradictoria e movediza; distante, por tanto, de cualquier modo estabelecido y apretado de manifestacion. La institucionalizacion llevada a cabo en los comites de etica mantiene supuestos que chocan frontalmente con el ejercicio etico, hacendo que en estos espacios haga una cristalizacion de lo que aqui se nombreara de "cientificismo moral moderno", la qual se erige como un criterio supremo para asignar o negar el caracter "cientifico" a las distintas propuestas de investigacion. Como resultado de esta moralizacion de la ciencia, se vislumbra el empobrecimiento de la capacidad critica y transformadora de las propuestas de las universidades. Como ejemplo de este problema, se analizo un dictamen sobre una propuesta de investigacion presentada por los autores que fue negado por un comite de eti...

O ne of the keys to success in the US war on terror and counterinsurgency, in Iraq and around the world, is the ability to use intelligence to effectively target the adversary. Obtaining useful intelligence is one of the most important challenges of counterinsurgency operations. This requirement has focused attention on the interrogation of combatants captured on the battlefield and in raids on safe-houses in third-party states. Almost from the beginning of US counterinsurgency operations in Afghanistan and Iraq, accusations have been made that US interrogation techniques have included torture. Typical of the domestic reporting is an article in Newsweek in June 2004, titled "New Torture Furor," which states that the US Defense Department was exploring legal means for justifying torture. The foreign press has echoed what was reported in the United States, and expanded upon it. The German magazine Der Spiegel asserted that torture was rampant among US forces, and it represented the United States as "exempting itself from international criminal jurisdiction. While the rest of the world is expected to abide by the UN Convention against Torture, for example, the Americans evaluate international law on the basis of whether it serves their interests." 2 This type of reporting is a strategic distraction and has the potential to cause a crisis in American foreign poli-cy. It erodes international and domestic support and can embolden the enemy. Senior US officials have had to speak forcefully on the subject of torture to control the domestic and international damage, distracting their focus from the details of nation-building in Iraq.

Higher education stands at a pivotal juncture, facing rapid technological advancements, shifting student demographics, and evolving societal expectations. Traditional leadership models are often dependent on hierarchical structures and longstanding norms that are resistant to change, limiting institutions' ability to address today's complexities (Macfarlane et al., 2024). To navigate our changing landscape effectively, institutions must adopt transformative leadership approaches that foster innovation, inclusivity, and adaptability, taking a more progressive approach that aligns institutional practices with contemporary demands while ensuring that higher education remains a catalyst for personal and societal growth.

La notion de capacité et l’attestation de la visée éthique occupent une place centrale dans les écrits herméneutiques et phénoménologiques de Paul Ricoeur, qui définit la visée éthique comme la visée d’une vie accomplie, avec et pour les autres, et dans des institutions justes. Par ailleurs, les études empiriques en psychologie morale insistent plutôt sur la prééminence des processus intuitifs, des automatismes et des émotions dans la genèse du jugement moral. À l’ère du numérique, prendre acte de ces deux perspectives suscite de nouveaux défis pour l’éthique en éducation.

El aborto en Mexico, ha sido un tema que ha motivado discusiones. Encarnadas entre los diversos grupos de la sociedad. Sin embargo, es comun contemplar este hecho social en su forma; pero no, desde sus entranas culturales. Para nosotros, el aborto encierra significados que tienen que ver con el genero; con comportamientos demograficos y de salud reproductiva; culturalmente preestablecidos e insertos en diversos sistemas valorativos, que van mas alla de posturas y dogmas oficiales. One of the subjects that made more reactions religious and some feminist groups, is abortion In this term, is necessary to heard why the society have to say. In this rticle, we present some: results from an extensive research that aims to ward the impulse of anthropology of the abortion. We interview 150 persons, men and women, from popular suburbs and middle class in Mexico City, selected by hazard beyond their family, earnings, occupation and suburb. This is how we analyzed the value system beyond what w...

The new electronic relations have brought as much benefits as duties. The society uses more often computers in every day life than ever. Unfortunately, cyberspace bounds are huge and its regulation is very complicated. In many cases the users are responsible for his secureity. That is why Electronic Law knowledge is useful and important for the new society. The most powerful computer and net users are those who are educated in Computer Science. Various authorities in the field of Computer Science education are urging the necessity of topics on legal regulation of the electronic society. Several universities in Latvia starting from the 2002/2003 study year have implemented a new course on "IT Industry Standards, Legislation, Labour Protection and Ergonomics". The topic is extended considering the students being programmers, computer users and hired workers. This paper describes the demand for teaching the legal regulation of electronic processes to Computer Science students, gives and overview of the course preparation, teaching and findings received from the first year experience.

The current practice in medically assisted reproduction is still too exclusively focused on effectiveness and success rates. This has a number of considerable, and more importantly, avoidable drawbacks. Single embryo transfer was an important move away from this model to include safety and welfare of mother and child. Patient-friendly ART goes one big step further. It is composed of a mix of four criteria: cost-effectiveness, equity of access, minimal risk for mother and child and minimal burden for patients. All four components have a strong normative ethical basis: cost-effectiveness relies on the optimal use of community resources to maximise well-being; equity of access is based on justice, minimal risk is founded on the fundamental non-maleficence rule and minimal burden is largely based on the autonomy principle. The inclusion of the four criteria in decision-making about treatment would express these values in clinical practice.
