An important tool of regulatory self-regulation are codes of ethics in the digital economy, which only take into account certain features of digital transformations and are a universal trend of modern development of legal regulation of the economy in Ukraine and the world. Analysis of recent research and publications.

The aim of the study is to determine the features of codes of ethics in the digital economy. Materials and methods.

Objective This study examined the code of ethics, which offers guidelines for early childhood teachers’ ethical decisions and practices. Results and Conclusion In the second section of this paper, the meaning of the code of ethics is reviewed. The issues of the code of ethics are also investigated to resolve moral and ethical dilemmas and to maintain high standards of professional conduct in early childhood care and education. In the third section of this paper, a comparison of the ethical codes in South Korea, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States is conducted. Based on the results raised in relation to the code of ethics principles and the results of comparing domestic and international ethics codes, the fourth section of this paper focuses on three topics in the current and future direction of the Korean code of ethics: (a) concreteness and clarity, (b) switching from the viewpoint of least harm to the viewpoint of maximum benefit, and (c) the range of benefits of the code of ethics. Then, including the existence of the last two codes of ethics, we discuss the direction of future difficulties currently associated with the situation in Korea.

This chapter outlines the features of the professional practice which lead to the necessity for codes of professional ethics, and which underpin the nature and typical content of such codes. There are a variety of codes and regulations regarding professional practices, which may serve different purposes. Members of a profession possess certain skills, knowledge and capacities that their clients and the general public typically lack. This creates a gradient of power and of relative vulnerability between the professional and others. Codes of ethics aim to mitigate the potentially deleterious effects, or the misuse, of such professional power. Codes of professional ethics may be backed up by hard or soft power. Since each profession deals with a certain area of endeavour, codes of professional ethics typically concern themselves with values, benefit and harms in relation to their own area of expertise. Nonetheless, there are general values underlying such codes, even if these are implicit. These may be hard to articulate and may indeed be controversial. The value of autonomy is examined as an example especially relevant to AI. Codes of ethics can only function effectively with both adequate institutional and societal backing. Understanding the history and context of development of codes of ethics is important to understand their underlying values, and especially where social and technological change is occurring. Codes of ethics may develop in response to catastrophe, in anticipation of problems, and with reference to codes of ethics in key areas, and all of these may give rise to problems. Codes of ethics may have certain failings, and in some cases even make a situation worse.

Science, applications, and regulation

The changing Australian health care system is creating new opportunities for nurses who work directly with clients in private practice settings. This study examines the scope of practice of a cohort of nurses in private practice. In a questionnaire sent to 106 self-employed nurse entrepreneurs, questions were asked pertaining to the participants' scope of practice, their clients, the types of services offered, and their fee structures. Questions about scope of practice were divided into domains of clinical practice, business consultancy, education, and research. Quantitative and qualitative data were collected for a final sample 54 eligible responses. Participants had been in private practice for an average of 7.6 years (range: 1-20) and reported a mean of 21 years of nursing experience (range: 4-42) before entering private practice. Over half held diplomas in specialty areas. Most participants reported clinical practice, consultancy, or education as the primary work domain; research was much less important as a work activity. Nurses reported difficulties with building client base and receiving adequate fees for service, particularly in clinical practice. Increasing awareness within the nursing profession and health sector about various aspects of private practice nursing could improve service quality for their clients.

Context: Public health practitioners are involved in a wide array of contexts. Local and national government public health agencies; domestic and international nongovernmental organizations (NGOs); and academic institutions are just a few examples of the settings where public health practitioners work. Acting ethically and meeting ethical commitments in a practical and transdisciplinary endeavor as complicated as public health necessitates careful consideration. Ethical practice ensures that public health institutions work properly and that individual public health practitioners maintain their integrity. There is little debate about the importance of ethics in public health professional practice and, as a result, the necessity for a corresponding professional code of ethics. Policy Options: Only an US-American code of public health ethics has been created so far. Since ethical considerations in public health are heavily dependent in contexts, the aim of this document is to initiate a discussion surrounding the establishment of a Code of Ethics for Public Health Professionals in Europe. Recommendations: Stimulate the discussion on a European code of public health ethics. Make a clear distinction between public health ethics and medical ethics. Recognize public health as a profession and not just a medical specialty. Recognize the need for a common code of ethics among public health professionals in Europe. Use Kotter's Model based on the Theory of Change as a roadmap when creating the European public health code of ethics. Treat the European code of ethics as a "living document". Encourage further research on a European code of ethics.
