Full textAbstract:
Background: Ambulance professionals often address conflicts between ethical values. As individuals’ values represent basic convictions of what is right or good and motivate behaviour, research is needed to understand their value profiles. Objectives: To translate and adapt the Managerial Values Profile to Spanish and Swedish, and measure the presence of utilitarianism, moral rights and/or social justice in ambulance professionals’ value profiles in Spain and Sweden. Methods: The instrument was translated and culturally adapted. A content validity index was calculated. Pilot tests were carried out with 46 participants. Ethical considerations: This study conforms to the ethical principles for research involving human subjects and adheres to national laws and regulations concerning informed consent and confidentiality. Findings: Spanish professionals favoured justice and Swedish professionals’ rights in their ambulance organizations. Both countries favoured utilitarianism least. Gender differences across countries showed that males favoured rights. Spanish female professionals favoured justice most strongly of all. Discussion: Swedes favour rights while Spaniards favour justice. Both contexts scored low on utilitarianism focusing on total population effect, preferring the opposite, individualized approach of the rights and justice perspectives. Organizational investment in a utilitarian perspective might jeopardize ambulance professionals’ moral right to make individual assessments based on the needs of the patient at hand. Utilitarianism and a caring ethos appear as stark opposites. However, a caring ethos in its turn might well involve unreasonable demands on the individual carer’s professional role. Since both the justice and rights perspectives portrayed in the survey mainly concern relationship to the organization and peers within the organization, this relationship might at worst be given priority over the equal treatment and moral rights of the patient. Conclusion: A balanced view on ethical perspectives is needed to make professionals observant and ready to act optimally – especially if these perspectives are used in patient care. Research is needed to clarify how justice and rights are prioritized by ambulance services and whether or not these organization-related values are also implemented in patient care.

Background Nurses experience moral distress when they cannot do what they believe is right or when they must do what they believe is wrong. Given the limited mechanisms for managing ethical issues for nurses in Japan, an Online Ethics Consultation on mental health (OEC) was established open to anyone seeking anonymous consultation on mental health practice. Research objective To report the establishment of the Online Ethics Consultation and describe and evaluate its effectiveness. Ethical considerations The research was conducted in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki. Research design This evaluation describes the outcomes of 5 years of operation of the Online Ethics Consultation on mental health in Japan Participants The Online Ethics Consultation received 12 emails requesting consultation. Consultees included mental health nurses, psychiatrists, and service users. Findings The most common questions directed to the service were about seclusion and physical restraint. Response time from receipt of email to sending a reply was between 1 and 14 days. Despite the disappointing number of consultations, feedback has been positive. Discussion The Online Ethics Consultation was established to assist morally sensitive nurses in resolving their ethical problems through provision of unbiased and encouraging advice. Mental health care in Japan has been less than ideal: long-term social hospitalization, seclusion, and restraint are common practices that often lead to moral distress in nurses and the questions received reflected this. The head of the Online Ethics Consultation sent a supportive, facilitative response summarizing the opinions of several consultants. Conclusion This study provides key information for the establishment of an online ethics resource the adoption of which has the potential to improve the experience of nurses, allied health and clients of mental health services. This paper has implications for services concerned with improving patient care, managing nurses’ moral distress, building ethics into decision-making.

Background: The professional values presented in ethical guidelines of the Norwegian Nurses Organisation and International Council of Nurses describe nurses’ professional ethics and the obligations that pertain to good nursing practice. The foundation of all nursing shall be respect for life and the inherent dignity of the individual. Research proposes that nurses lack insight in ethical competence and that ethical issues are rarely discussed on the wards. Furthermore, research has for some time confirmed that nurses experience moral distress in their daily work and that this has become a major problem for the nursing profession. Objectives: The purpose of this article is to obtain a deeper understanding of the ethical challenges that nurses face in daily practice. The chosen research questions are “What ethical challenges do nurses experience in their daily practice?” Research design: We conducted a qualitative interview study using a hermeneutical approach to analyzing data describing nurses’ experiences. Ethical considerations: The Norwegian Social Science Data services approved the study. Furthermore, the head of the hospital gave permission to conduct the investigation. The requirement of anonymity and proper data storage in accordance with the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki was met. Method and results: The context for the study comprised three different clinical wards at a university hospital in Norway. Nine qualified nurses were interviewed. The results were obtained through a systematic development beginning with the discovery of busyness as a painful phenomenon that can lead to conflicts in terms of ethical values. Furthermore, the consequences compromising professional principles in nursing care emerged and ended in moral blindness and emotional immunization of the healthcare providers. Emotional immunization occurred as a new dimension involving moral blindness and immunity in relation to being emotionally touched.

The main legal ways to the socio-political regulation of sexual services (prostitution) in different countries are considered. The main problems facing the society of each state in the field of regulation of prostitutes activity, their so-called �curatores� and clients. The participation of the state in identifying and solving the problems of the sex industry are defined. It is determined that an important role in the legalization of prostitution is played not only by the legal but also by the moral and ethical aspects, which have a lot of limits in every society. Four models of prostitution regulation that exist in different countries of the world are analyzed. It is substantiated that not every model in itself is effective and is optimal for implementation. It depends of the legal system, level of consolidation of society and position of the government on this issue. Criminal liability for pimping, which exists in Ukraine, is only a small positive step in the fight against illegal profits related to the exploitation (voluntary or forced) of another person's body. The negative point in this area is the lack of social, medical and legal protection of prostitutes, as their clients are also at risk. So, the legalization on of the sexual services is necessary for our state, but it must be preceded by a series of successive authority�s steps: public dialogue on different public platforms, changes in legislation and government administrative decisions.

Full textAbstract:
Background In this article, the sources and features of moral distress as experienced by acute psychiatric care nurses are explored. Research design A qualitative design with 16 individual in-depth interviews was chosen. Braun and Clarke’s six analytic phases were used. Ethical considerations Approval was obtained from the Norwegian Social Science Data Services. Participation was confidential and voluntary. Findings Based on findings, a somewhat wider definition of moral distress is introduced where nurses experiencing being morally constrained, facing moral dilemmas or moral doubt are included. Coercive administration of medicines, coercion that might be avoided and resistance to the use of coercion are all morally stressful situations. Insufficient resources, mentally poorer patients and quicker discharges lead to superficial treatment. Few staff on evening shifts/weekends make nurses worry when follow-up of the most ill patients, often suicidal, in need of seclusion or with heightened risk of violence, must be done by untrained personnel. Provision of good care when exposed to violence is morally challenging. Feelings of inadequacy, being squeezed between ideals and clinical reality, and failing the patients create moral distress. Moral distress causes bad conscience and feelings of guilt, frustration, anger, sadness, inadequacy, mental tiredness, emotional numbness and being fragmented. Others feel emotionally ‘flat’, cold and empty, and develop high blood pressure and problems sleeping. Even so, some nurses find that moral stress hones their ethical awareness. Conclusion Moral distress in acute psychiatric care may be caused by multiple reasons and cause a variety of reactions. Multifaceted ethical dilemmas, incompatible demands and proximity to patients’ suffering make nurses exposed to moral distress. Moral distress may lead to reduced quality care, which again may lead to bad conscience and cause moral distress. It is particularly problematic if moral distress results in nurses distancing and disconnecting themselves from the patients and their inner selves.

ObjectivesTo explore the objectives and outcomes most appropriate for evaluating clinical ethics support services (CESs) in the USA.MethodsA three-round e-Delphi was sent to two professional medical ethics listservs (Medical College of Wisconsin-Bioethics and American Society for Bioethics and Humanities) as well as 19 individual experts. The survey originally contained 15 objectives and 9 outcomes. In round 1, participants were asked to validate the content of these lists. In round 2, we had 17 objectives and 10 outcomes, and participants were asked to rank them for appropriateness in a top 10 list of objectives and a top 5 list of outcomes.ResultsParticipants came to a high(at least 70%) level of agreement on seven objectives: mediate, educate, develop policy, improve the moral quality of a decision or action, counsel, create a moral space and manage moral distress. Participants came to a moderate (at least 51%) level of agreement on three objectives: empower, awareness of ethics and preventative ethics. Participants also came to a moderate (at least 51%) level of agreement on five outcomes: ethical justification, transformation of institution, improvement of quality of life, principled consensus and satisfaction with the expertise of a CES.ConclusionThis e-Delphi identified 10 objectives and 5 outcomes that are a good starting point for developing outcome measures to evaluate CESs in the USA, while reminding us of the diversity of perspectives still evident in the field.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Persistent healthcare emphasis on universal moral philosophy has not advantaged indigenous and marginalised groups. Centralising cultural components of care is vital to provide ethical healthcare services to indigenous people and cultural minorities internationally. Woods’ theoretical explication of how nurses can integrate cultural safety into a socioethical approach signposts ethical practice that reflects culturally congruent relational care and systemic critique. Aim: To demonstrate the empirical utility of Woods’ ethical elements of cultural safety within a socioethical model, through analysis of indigenous nurses’ practice realities in Aotearoa New Zealand. Research design: The study used a qualitative indigenous narrative inquiry. Participants and research context: Participants were recruited nationally. Twelve Māori registered nurses and nurse practitioners were interviewed. All participants provided direct care in either primary or secondary health services. Ethical considerations: Research approval was gained from the Human Ethics Committee of the lead author’s tertiary institution. Participation was voluntary, and written informed consent was obtained. Findings: Analysis highlighted the following: (1) cultural needs, which for Māori were integral to care, were easily subsumed by clinical care being prioritised; (2) ethical care by non-indigenous nurses requires critical reflection about broader equity issues that impact Māori disengagement from healthcare; (3) retention of indigenous nurses was seen as essential because their advocacy and the cultural ‘fit’ for Māori contributed to positive healthcare outcomes; and (4) committed leadership ensured culturally safe care was not eroded through workplace efficiencies. Discussion: The data provide rich representation of Woods’ model. The data indicate that nurses must engage reflexively with a relational ethic of care and social justice dimensions in order to deliver culturally safe care. Conclusion: Woods’ model provides a critical lens for nurses to examine their relational practice and systemic factors that enhance or detract from culturally safe care when caring for members of any indigenous group.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Ethics consultation is the traditional way of resolving challenging ethical questions raised about patient care in the United States. Little research has been published on the resolution process used during ethics consultations and on how this experience affects healthcare professionals who participate in them. Objectives: The purpose of this qualitative research was to uncover the basic process that occurs in consultation services through study of the perceptions of healthcare professionals. Design and Method: The researchers in this study used a constructivist grounded theory approach that represents how one group of professionals experienced ethics consultations in their hospital in the United States. Results: The results were sufficient to develop an initial theory that has been named after the core concept: Moving It Along. Three process stages emerged from data interpretation: moral questioning, seeing the big picture, and coming together. It is hoped that this initial work stimulates additional research in describing and understanding the complex social process that occurs for healthcare professionals as they address the difficult moral issues that arise in clinical practice.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Ethical reflections over care practices are important. In order to be able to perform such reflections, healthcare professionals must learn to think critically about their care practice. Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate whether an introduction to and practice in ethical reflections in community healthcare have consequences for the healthcare personnel’s practice. Research design: A mixed-methods design was adopted with five focus group interviews and an electronic questionnaire based on results from the interviews. Participants and research context: A total of 29 community healthcare personnel with experience in ethical reflections participated in the interviews. The electronic questionnaire was sent via email to 2382 employees in community healthcare services in 13 municipalities in southern part of Norway. Ethical considerations: The study was guided by the intentions of the Declaration of Helsinki and ethical standard principles and approved by the Norwegian Social Science Data Services. Results: An introduction to and practice in performing ethical reflections brought about an ethical awareness with understanding and respect for both colleagues and patients. The leader had a key role. Lack of time was a hindrance for ethical reflections. Three factors could predict meaningful ethical reflections: higher age of personnel, higher percentage of employment and longer experience with ethical reflections. Discussion: According to other studies, ethical reflections may enhance moral development of colleagues and their actions as advocates for the patients. A deepened ethical awareness, professional competency and sufficient time resources will guarantee proper caregiving. Conclusion: A supportive environment that prioritizes participation in reflection meetings is decisive. To practice ethical reflections will provide better care for patients. A challenge for the community healthcare system is to offer adequate positions that provide the personnel an opportunity to be involved as caregivers and to participate in ethical reflections.

Full textAbstract:
Background: For the experience of end-of-life care to be ‘good’ many ethical challenges in various relationships have to be resolved. In this article, we focus on challenges in the nurse–next of kin relationship. Little is known about difficulties in this relationship, when the next of kin are seen as separate from the patient. Research problem: From the perspective of nurses: What are the ethical challenges in relation to next of kin in end-of-life care? Research design: A critical qualitative approach was used, based on four focus group interviews. Participants: A total of 22 registered nurses enrolled on an Oncology nursing specialisation programme with experience from end-of-life care from various practice areas participated. Ethical considerations: The study was approved by the Norwegian Social Science Data Service, Bergen, Norway, project number 41109, and signed informed consent obtained from the participants before the focus groups began. Findings and discussion: Two descriptive themes emerged from the inductive analysis: ‘A feeling of mistrust, control and rejection’ and ‘Being between hope and denial of next of kin and the desire of the patient to die when the time is up’. Deductive reinterpretation of data (in the light of moral distress from a Feminist ethics perspective) has made visible the constraints that certain relations with next of kin in end-of-life care lay upon the nurses’ moral identity, the relationship and their responsibility. We discuss how these constraints have political and societal dimensions, as well as personal and relational ones. Conclusion: There is complex moral distress related to the nurse–next of kin relationship which calls for ethical reflections regarding these relationships within end-of-life care.

This thesis aims to analyse the determinations and implications which embrace the demand of research Project submission in Social Service to the Ethics Committee based on the Postgraduate Program on Social Service and Social Politics and of the Ethics Committee in Research with Human Beings of the State University of Londrina. In order to reach this goal, I aim to analyse the ethics grounds built by Social Service and materialized in the Professional Ethics Code of the Social Workers. The needs to develop a study about ethics in Social Service is due to the my insertion to various Ethics Committee in Research during my academic history between 2006 and 2015. To reach the objectives I understand that the researcher must try repeatedly to access the object of study, aiming to get the reality in its multiple determinations. Categories are built every time there is approach and return. These categories allow the evident to make way to wider determinations. The method which is, at the same time, materialistic and dialectic, stems from the empiric and gathers the relation to other empirical groups, its historical origin taking into account the phenomenon historicity and this is rebuilt according to the researcher’s reflection. As method’s categories, those which contemplate the research object were contradiction, historicity, mediation and totallity. My research is exploratory and descriptive, mainly when I locate the Postgraduate Program in Social Service and Social Politics of the State University of Londrina and the Ethics Committee of the same University. This thesis was developed in the chapters. The first delas with my theoretical background based on Barroco (2005). I begin with a discussion about the ethical development aiming the praxis through the Project. The next step is to write about the ethical-political Project historically built by the social workers’ category. I end the first chapter writing about the bioethics and its basis: bioethics principialism.I seek a critique of the bioethical principles based on the Social Service Ethical Code, on Barroco and Terra (2012). I begin the second chapter making history of the developing process of the protocol whose result is the resolution 510/16, which deals with ethics in Human and Social Science research. Still in chapter II, I talk about the research and the production of human knowledge under the historical-critical perspective. I go on the second chapter creating a context and adding caracteristics to my research locus, which is the Postgraduate Program in Social Service and Social Politics of the State University of Londrina. I finish the chapter II positioning the Ethics Committee in Reseach of Human Beings of the State University of Londrina – CEP – UEL. The third chapter deals with my field research. For this section, I interviewed two students and one professor of the program. There are three aspects of my field research: the first is the reasons to submitt or not to the CEP research. Secondly, if there are any problems during the process and why the CEP evaluation process can become a problem through research. Finally, the last aspect relates to the implications of the submission to ethics in Social Service research. I understand that these aspects answer the first question about the implications and determinations of the CEP evaluation about ethics in Social Service research
A presente tese tem por objetivo analisar as determinações e implicações que envolvem a exigência de submissão dos projetos de pesquisa em Serviço Social aos Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa a partir do programa de Pós-graduação em Serviço Social e Política Social e do Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa com Seres Humanos da Universidade Estadual de Londrina. Para tanto busco analisar a fundamentação ética construída pelo Serviço Social e materializada no Código de Ética Profissional – CE – dos Assistentes Sociais. A necessidade de aprofundar o estudo acerca da ética na pesquisa em Serviço Social se deu devido minha inserção em vários Comitês de Ética em Pesquisa durante minha trajetória acadêmica desde o ano de 2006 até 2015. Para alcançar os objetivos entendo que o pesquisador faz sucessivas aproximações ao objeto de pesquisa, buscando extrair da realidade suas múltiplas determinações. A cada aproximação e retorno, vão se construindo categorias. Estas categorias fazem com que o aparente dê lugar a determinações cada vez mais abrangestes. O método materialista-dialético parte do empírico e apanha as relações com outros conjuntos empíricos, sua gênese histórica considerando a historicidade do fenômeno e isto é reconstruído no pensamento do pesquisador. Como categorias do método, as que contemplaram o objeto de pesquisa foram contradição, historicidade, mediação e totalidade. Desenvolvi uma pesquisa exploratória e descritiva, principalmente quando situo o Programa de Pós-graduação em Serviço Social e Política Social da Universidade Estadual de Londrina e o Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa da UEL. A presente tese foi elaborada em três capítulos. O primeiro trata de meu referencial teórico baseado em Barroco (2005). Inicio com a discussão da construção da ética como objetivação da práxis através do trabalho. Em seguida discorro acerca da construção do projeto ético-político construído historicamente pela categoria dos assistentes sociais. Finalizo o primeiro capítulo escrevendo acerca da bioética e de seu fundamento: o principialismo bioético. Baseado no Código de Ética do Serviço Social e em Barroco e Terra (2012), busco uma crítica aos princípios bioéticos. Inicio o segundo capítulo historicizando o processo de construção da minuta que resultou na resolução 510/16 que trata da ética na pesquisa para a área das Ciências Humanas e Sociais. Em seguida, ainda no capítulo dois, trato a respeito da pesquisa e da produção do conhecimento humano na perspectiva histórico-crítica. Dou continuidade ao segundo capítulo contextualizando e caracterizando meu lócus de pesquisa – o Programa de Pós-graduação em Serviço Social e Política Social da UEL. Finalizo o segundo capítulo situando o Comitê de Ética em Pesquisa Envolvendo Seres Humanos da Universidade Estadual de Londrina – CEP-UEL. O terceiro capítulo trata da minha pesquisa de campo. Para esta sessão foram realizadas três entrevistas com dois estudantes e um docente do programa. Como eixos de análise desta minha pesquisa de campo, delimitei três: primeiramente “por que submeter, ou não submeter as pesquisas ao CEP”. Em segundo lugar “se ocorrem algum problema no processo? Por que o processo de avaliação do CEP pode se tornar um problema no processo de pesquisa”. O último eixo se refere às “implicações da submissão para a ética na pesquisa em Serviço Social”. Entendo que estes eixos de análise respondem à pergunta inicial acerca das implicações e determinações da avaliação do CEP sobre a ética na pesquisa em Serviço Social

social-historical conditions. Guided by Netto's (2005) thesis that the profession contains a syncretic structure originate its social-professional condition in monopoly capitalism, we adopt the foundations of this structure, identified by the cited author, as the guiding threads of the reflections developed here, consecutively, has double justification. First is that the foundation of professional ethics is Social Work itself, and therefore, the theoretical-philosophical foundation it incorporates, professional morality and the ethicalpolitical effects of professional work, as well as the Code of professional ethics (BARROCO, 2003) are products that correspond to the demands and social needs placed on the profession, and, simultaneously, the choices that it makes under precise historical conditions. That is, the Social Work is carried out ethically from the determinants that explain it professionally. The second one is that the social question, the everyday and the "manipulation of empirical variables" (NETTO, 2005), as the foundations of the syncretic structure of Social Work, are taken here as those that guarantee the registration and the periodical update of Social Work in the division of labor, since they are only feasible by the correct articulation between the three highlighted grounds, forming or not syncretic components in the profession. If these fundamentals support the professional statute of Social Work, that is, their professional status, the ethical configuration of the profession necessarily passes through them, justifying them as conductors of the research. If the professional statute of Social Work results from the dynamism existing between the requisitions and demands placed on the profession and its "own reserves of forces", according to the same analysis of Netto (2005), the ethical condition of Social Work is engendered at the heart of this dynamism and expresses the social contradictions existing between one and the other. Thus, it is constituted by the professional statute of the Social Work itself, while simultaneously focusing on it as its ethical constituent. Given the radical historicity implied in this process, we inquire about the ethical perspectives potentially present in Social Work, in the face of contemporary capitalism ideologically articulated by neoliberalism and its immanent conservative condition; this scenario is compounded by traits that mark the formation of Brazilian society and state, persistent throughout history and which are evidenced today by the confrontation of the sequels of the social question, by the way of its moralization and by the militarization of daily life. The analysis of contemporary capitalism has shown a dominant ethos oriented by the values of competition, competitiveness, individualism, but also order and discipline, which guide the current sociability and rebate in the profession for the particularities processed in the dynamism between demands and requisitions professionals at such a conjuncture and the "own reserves of forces" of Social Work. In this place, we have identified the possibility of establishing a strictly normative / legalistic professional ethics compatible and functional to neoliberal-conservatism, which, precisely because of its enhanced dynamism, is confronted with the professional ethics built in the center of the ethical project in the last decades, and that is expressed in the Code of Ethics of 1993
Nesta pesquisa, procuramos compreender a realização ética do Serviço Social nas condições histórico-sociais atuais. Orientados pela tese defendida por Netto (2005) de que a referida profissão contém uma estrutura sincrética advinda da sua condição sócio-profissional no capitalismo monopolista, adotamos os fundamentos dessa estrutura, identificados pelo citado autor, como fios condutores destas as reflexões aqui desenvolvidas, o que, por sua vez, possui dupla justificativa. A primeira delas é a de que o fundamento da ética profissional é o próprio Serviço Social, e, portanto, a fundamentação teórico-filosófica que ela incorpora, a moralidade profissional e os efeitos ético-políticos do trabalho profissional, bem como, o Código de Ética profissional (BARROCO, 2003) são produtos que correspondem às exigências e necessidades sociais postas à profissão, e, simultaneamente, às escolhas que ela realiza em condições históricas precisas. Ou seja, o Serviço Social realiza-se eticamente a partir das condicionalidades que o explicam profissionalmente. A segunda delas é a de que a questão social, o cotidiano e a “manipulação de variáveis empíricas” (NETTO, 2005), como os fundamentos da estrutura sincrética do Serviço Social, são tomados aqui como aqueles que garantem a inscrição e a periódica atualização do Serviço Social na divisão social e técnica do trabalho, uma vez que elas só se viabilizam pela justa articulação entre os três fundamentos destacados, formando eles ou não componentes sincréticos na profissão. Se esses fundamentos sustentam a condição profissional do Serviço Social, isto é, seu estatuto profissional, a configuração ética da profissão passa necessariamente por eles, justificando-os como condutores da pesquisa. Se o estatuto profissional do Serviço Social resulta do dinamismo existente entre as requisições e demandas colocadas à profissão e suas “reservas próprias de forças”, segundo a mesma análise de Netto (2005), a condição ética do Serviço Social é engendrada no âmago desse dinamismo e expressa as contradições sociais existentes entre um e outro. Assim, ela é constituída pelo próprio estatuto profissional do Serviço Social, ao mesmo tempo em que incide nele como seu constituinte ético. Dada a radical historicidade implicada nesse processo, indagamos acerca das perspectivas éticas potencialmente presentes no Serviço Social, em face do capitalismo contemporâneo ideologicamente alinhavado pelo neoliberalismo e sua imanente condição conservadora; esse cenário é adensado por traços que marcam a formação da sociedade e do Estado brasileiros, persistentes ao longo da história e que se evidenciam hoje destacadamente pelo enfrentamento das sequelas da questão social, pela via de sua moralização e pela militarização do cotidiano. A análise do capitalismo contemporâneo evidenciou um ethos dominante orientado pelos valores da concorrência, da competitividade, do individualismo, mas também, da ordem e da disciplina, que norteiam a sociabilidade atual e rebatem na profissão pelas particularidades processadas no próprio dinamismo entre as demandas e requisições profissionais delineadas numa tal conjuntura e as “reservas próprias de forças” do Serviço Social. À vista disso, identificamos a possibilidade de estar-se configurando no Serviço Social uma ética profissional estritamente normativa/legalista compatível e funcional ao neoliberalconservadorismo, a qual, exatamente pelo dinamismo realçado, se confronta com a ética profissional construída no bojo do projeto ético-político, nas últimas décadas, e que se expressa no Código de Ética de 1993

Full textAbstract:
This study examined the hypothesis that the moral personality is one in which moral knowledge structures are chronically accessible. A spontaneous trait inference cued-recall paradigm was employed. It was expected that those with chronically accessible moral knowledge structures (N = 61) would spontaneously encode virtue-content information differently than those with less chronically accessible moral knowledge structures (N = 77). High and low moral chronic accessibility participants were instructed to memorize sentences that contained virtue-content implications. Sentence recall was then cued by either virtuous dispositional terms or by words that were linked semantically to the sentences. Within the spontaneous processing condition, dispositional cues prompted twice as much recall as semantic cues among participants with high moral chronic accessibility whereas semantic cues prompted twice as much recall as dispositional cues among participants with low moral chronic accessibility. As predicted, within the deliberate processing conditions, there were no high/low moral chronic accessibility differences. These findings support the claim that the moral personality is usefully conceptualized in terms of the chronic accessibility of moral knowledge structures.Department of Educational Psychology

Full textAbstract:
Although auditors engage in considerable social interaction (Gibbins & Mason, 1988; Solomon, 1987), little is known about how social interaction influences an auditor's moral reasoning process. In order to address this gap, this study used an experiment to examine the effect of social influence on 288 auditors' moral reasoning on realistic moral dilemmas. The results of this study indicate that social interaction influences the moral reasoning of auditors. Auditors' level of prescriptive reasoning appears to increase after engaging in discussion of a realistic moral dilemma, particularly for those which discuss dilemmas with others at high levels of moral development, while auditors' level of deliberative reasoning appears to decrease after engaging in discussion of a realistic moral dilemma. At a practical level, these findings suggest that auditors should be encouraged to prescriptively discuss moral dilemmas with others of high levels of moral development as this tends to result in the use of more principled moral reasoning. In contrast, auditors should avoid deliberative discussion of moral dilemmas, as this tends to result in the use of less principled moral reasoning than would be used in the absence of discussion.

Full textAbstract:
The growth of the managed investment industry brings with it the potential for institutional investors to exert their influence on boards of listed companies to deliver strong and sustainable growth. The concepts of socially responsible investment (SRI), responsible investment (RI) or ethical investment (EI) have become part of mainstream investment practices in many financial markets. While SRI is largely a qualitative concept, its survival and adoption by the mainstream investment community may, in part, be due to the formalising of its concepts into language that investors, asset managers and analysts can more readily understand: the benchmark index.
SRI indices may hold the key to attracting attention to ESG issues in listed corporates and to help bring about positive outcomes in sustainable development. Figures show SRI investments in emerging markets are minimal when compared to those in developed markets but emerging markets hold great potential for growth and development of these tools.
This research develops a tool for bringing together social construction theory and stakeholder theory in understanding the construction of SRI Indices and in development of new indices.
The core of this research is an analysis of SRI indices in three major emerging markets of Hong Kong, India and China, together with an analysis of different perspectives of SRI in Asia. The purpose is to identify opportunities to building SRI indices through a stakeholder engagement approach.
The research was conducted over several phases between October 2008 and August 2010 and can be defined by three different studies:
1. a comparative study on SRI indices and their ESG criteria;
2. a comparative study on SRI indices and their stakeholder engagement approach; and
3. an analysis on the feasibility of building SRI indices in Asian markets.
The findings from the three studies indicate three main arguments. First, ESG assessment and criteria of SRI indices does have an impact on the creditability and value of the SRI indices. Due to the lack of transparency on the ESG assessment and criteria, SRI investors and other stakeholder groups are deterred from adopting SRI indices as SRI tool.
Second, stakeholder engagement is essential for SRI indices. And lastly, SRI indices in emerging markets, especially in the three studied markets, are attractive to both global and local SRI investors; however, these SRI indices need to include local ESG contexts to reflect the actual ESG concerns of the societies and avoid blindly following developed markets’ SRI index model, which in the end become unrealistic and unpopular to investors and stakeholder groups.
We recommend that stakeholder engagement in index criteria and corporate assessment be widened and deepened; that governments and stock exchanges can play a pivotal role in SRI development and should take the lead. We also recommend that SRI indices strengthen the institution of corporate research to rely less on secondary data when making their corporate assessments.published_or_final_version

Full textAbstract:
This thesis considers the rationalization of health care in Canada. It focuses on the conflicting roles modern physicians play in our system, acting as both patient advocate and social agent. It begins by tracing the origin of both of these duties. It then examines the ethical, professional, and legal issues which arise in the limited circumstances where front-line physicians must participate in the rationing of health care. It offers a framework for resolving the double agent dilemma and states five interlocking recommendations which are the building blocks of the resolution.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter mainly focuses on the literature about the relationship between ethics, corporate social responsibility, and financial markets, which is broad and diverse as well as multi-disciplined. Some are concerned only with ethical banking, while others seek to establish a financial system based on social responsibility to society and people. The studies essentially bring attention to the question of how banks should act in the face of the moral-economic dilemma. In fact, ethical aspect is much more valuable than economic profitability and includes a social responsibility approach. In the concept of ethical concerns and corporate social responposibility, the literature has been reviewed and problematic areas discussed for ethical and Islamic banking. Islamic finance and specifically Islamic banking can be seen as a new practice to bring corporate ethical responsibility and social justice into the financial and economic spheres.

Full textAbstract:
Social technology has become ubiquitous in everyday life. Developers of social technologies seek design elements and new technologies, such as machine learning algorithms, aimed at increasing user engagement. Increased user engagement with products or services is sought after by both companies, which benefit from increased sales and customers who desire technology which they are motivated to use. However, increased user engagement also results in increased demand on user attention. High demand on user attention results in problems for social technology users, including decreased task performance, decrements in working memory, increased anxiety, and more. Developers of social technology should take these negative effects on users into account when implementing new features into their products or services. This chapter proposes a framework for the ethical design of social technology, with a specific emphasis on the balance between user engagement and attentional demands on the user.

Full textAbstract:
A new morality is generated in the present scientific and technical environment, and a new ethics is needed, an ethics which may be found in both individual and social morality, which can guide a moral evolution of different cultural fields and which has the chance to keep alive the moral culture itself. This chapter points out first the scientific, technical, and philosophical premises of artificial ethics. The specific, the status, and the role of artificial ethics is described by selecting ethical procedures, norms, and values that are suitable to be applied both by human and artificial moral agents. Moral intelligence as a kind of practical intelligence is studied and its role in human and artificial moral conduct is evaluated. Common features of human and artificial moral agents are presented. Specific features of artificial moral agents are analyzed. Artificial ethics is presented as part of the multi-set of artificial cognition, discovery, activity, organization, and evolution ways. A meta-ethical survey establishes the place of artificial ethics within the group of new and emergent ethical fields of the computer culture. Natural and artificial evolution are studied from an interdisciplinary and even from an intercultural perspective, and the co-evolution of human and artificial moral agents is sketched by means of technological and social prognosis.

Full textAbstract:
The chapter proposes to philosophically ground the ethics expertise in social work, starting from a series of ethics theories: utilitarian ethics, deontological ethics and ethics of virtues. During the foundation of ethics expertise we made conceptual distinctions between the theoretical and practical nature of expertise, between the ethical and the moral one, in order to justify the need for a new model of ethics expertise. In our approach, we debate the influence of such theories in the field of social services, which we consider to be representative in the context of the construction of a new model of ethics expertise, which underlies the constitutive values of social practice. The normativity of the ethical theories is extended to the level of certain different behavioural models and moral reasoning, summing up in practice the frameworks of the moral conduct the individuals can apply, when making an ethical decision, in social or organisational context, namely to determine whether the decision is morally acceptable or not.

Full textAbstract:
Technoethics relates to the impact of ethics in technology and technological change in biological, medical, military, engineering, and other applications. Accordingly, new questions arise about the moral right and wrong of corresponding technological issues. These, in turn, generate novel trade-offs, many of them controversial, involving the desirable versus undesirable ethical aspects of the new invention or innovation from a moral viewpoint. The discussion in this chapter suggests that frequently much can be said on both sides of an ethical argument and that therefore, at times, agonizing decisions must be made about which side has the greater moral merit based on numerous variables. The minicases sprinkled throughout the text and the longer automobile engineering case at the end are used as illustrations.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter considers the contributions that may be made to the evolution of an ethical and compassionate form of artificial general intelligence (AGI) by integrating knowledge graphs for classical economics, education, health, and space science. Classical economics offers pathways to the evolution of a form of AGI characterised as moral, ethical, and providing a capacity for building trust-based social capital of societies. Pathways that can be elucidated by applications of machine and deep learning to knowledge graphs of the fields of classical economics, ethics, and social capital. A network platform based on the application of distributed ledger technology is proposed to provide the basis for eliciting insights from interdependences between an ever expanding digital-quantum cloud hosting similarly empowered knowledge graphs for an ever increasing myriad of advancing fields. Knowledge graph sketches for education, health, space science, and other fields germane to building social capital serve to illustrate this proposed process and attendant business opportunities.

Full textAbstract:
We are witnesses and participants of Copernican changes in the world which result in major crises/challenges (economic, political, social, climate, demographic, migratory, MORAL) that significantly change “normal” circumstances. The law, as a large regulatory system, must find answers to these challenges. Primarily, these circumstances relate to (i) the pandemic - Corona 19, which requires ensuring economic development with a significant encroachment on human freedoms and rights; (ii) globalization, which fundamentally changes the concept of liberal capitalism as the most efficient system of production of goods and services and democracy as a desirable form of government; (iii) automation, robotics, artificial intelligence, and big data are changing the ways we work, live, communicate, and learn in a Copernican manner. The law should serve to shape the relationship between people in order to realize a life of love and freedom. This is done to the greatest extent through the constitutional engineering of selected institutions. The legal system focuses on institutions that have a raison d'etre in their mission, which is read as “ratio legis”, as a desirable normative and real action in the range of causal and teleological aspect. Crisis situations narrow social cohesion and weaken trust in institutions. It is imperative to seek constitutional engineering that finds a way out in autopoietic institutions in allopoietic environment. We believe that the most current definition of law is that = law is the negation of the negation of morality. It follows that morality is the most important category of social development. Legitimacy, and then legality, relies on morality. In other words, the rules of conduct must be highly correlated with morality - legitimacy - legality. What is legal follows the rules, what is lawful follows the moral substance and ethical permissibility. Therefore, only a fair and intelligent mastery of a highly professional and ethical teleological interpretation of law is a conditio sine qua non for overcoming current anomalies of social development. The juridical code of legal and illegal is a transformation of moral, legitimate and legal into YES, and immoral, illegitimate and illegal into NO. The future of education aims to generate a program for global action and a discussion on learning and knowledge for the future of humanity and the planet in a world of increasing complexity, uncertainty and insecurity.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to the study of problematic aspects of the implementation of the mediation procedure in Russia. The author noted that mediation on the path of its development in the country encountered a number of obstacles of a moral, ethical, psychological, economic and legislative nature, the solution and settlement of which requires certain efforts both from the side of society and public organizations, and from the state. Using the method of analytical review of theoretical and practical developments of domestic researchers and legislative documents, the article identifies the following problems of mediation: low legal culture of the population; lack of confidence in this service; lack of awareness of society as a whole, and of citizens in particular, about mediation, its advantages as an alternative to the trial method; the position of the parties that do not want to compromise; the difficulty of choosing a mediator - as a highly professional person; mainly the social foundations for the development of mediation and insufficient state support. These problems are interrelated, therefore, their solution requires an integrated approach.

Full textAbstract:
Before the COVID-19 pandemic, video was already one of the main media used on the internet. During the pandemic, video conferencing services became even more important, coming to be one of the main instruments to enable most social and professional human activities. Given the social distancing policies, people are spending more time using these online services for working, learning, and also for leisure activities. Videoconferencing software became the standard communication for home-office and remote learning. Nevertheless, there are still a lot of issues to be addressed on these platforms, and many different aspects to be reexamined or investigated, such as ethical and user-experience issues, just to name a few. We argue that many of the current state-of-the-art techniques of Artificial Intelligence (AI) may help on enhancing video collabo- ration services, particularly the methods based on Deep Learning such as face and sentiment analyses, and video classification. In this paper, we present a future vision about how AI techniques may contribute to this upcoming videoconferencing-age.

Full textAbstract:
The article presents the results of the study of factors, patterns and conditions for the formation of personal identity in student age. The conceptual provisions of the theory of integral individuality of V. S. Merlin, the integrative psychology of development of V. V. Belous and I. V. Boyazitova, the conceptual model of the personal potential of D. A. Leontiev served as the methodological basis for the study of subjectivity as the basic construct of the formation of personal identity among students. The article reveals the features of the development of subjectivity with different status of personal identity, the specifics of the relationship of personal identity with the properties of personal and socio-psychological levels of subjectivity at the student age. It is experimentally proved that the status of personal identity at the student age is determined by the development of multi-level properties of subjectivity, but to a greater extent is due to the development of properties that characterize psychological stability and self-regulation of a person. For the first time, the results are presented that reveal the patterns of achieving personal identity. The article describes the technology of implementing psychological support for the development of subjectivity as a basic condition for achieving a stable personal identity, aimed at forming the ability to understand and build a life perspective, to make independent conscious choices, developing moral stability and moral and ethical responsibility, teaching skills of confident behavior and active response to social changes in the student age. The results of the research can be used in the practice of psychological services of the University in the development of programs for the formation of a stable personal identity, the development of subjective activity, in the process of providing individual and group counseling during the period of adaptation to training and professional training crises.
