Why hospitals hire tobacco lobbyists: conflicts of interest among lobbyists’ clients

Abstract Lobbyists sometimes represent clients with seemingly adversarial policy interests. We seek to explain the occurrence of such ostensible conflicts of interest. In hiring lobbyists, interests encounter a tradeoff between access and agency. Although some lobbyists promise access to lawmakers, they may not lobby as contracted. Interests hire seemingly conflicted lobbyists more often when access is costlier and reputational risks are smaller. We examine the hiring of tobacco lobbyists by health interests, given the possibilities for shirking and reputational damage. We find that institutions such as hospitals hire tobacco lobbyists regularly and more often than membership-based health groups. Intergroup competition for access and lobby laws, especially anti-conflict laws, affect the use of tobacco lobbyists independent of rates of multi-client lobbying. Conflicts are more common today than ever but interests can protect themselves somewhat from opportunistic agents. Our findings also suggest that reforms can improve the representation of client interests.

Towards Fairness-Aware Federated Learning.

Recent advances in federated learning (FL) have brought large-scale collaborative machine learning opportunities for massively distributed clients with performance and data privacy guarantees. However, most current works focus on the interest of the central controller in FL and overlook the interests of the FL clients. This may result in unfair treatment of clients, which discourages them from actively participating in the learning process and damages the sustainability of the FL ecosystem. Therefore, the topic of ensuring fairness in FL is attracting a great deal of research interest. In recent years, diverse fairness-aware FL (FAFL) approaches have been proposed in an effort to achieve fairness in FL from different perspectives. However, there is no comprehensive survey that helps readers gain insight into this interdisciplinary field. This article aims to provide such a survey. By examining the fundamental and simplifying assumptions, as well as the notions of fairness adopted by the existing literature in this field, we propose a taxonomy of FAFL approaches covering major steps in FL, including client selection, optimization, contribution evaluation, and incentive distribution. In addition, we discuss the main metrics for experimentally evaluating the performance of FAFL approaches and suggest promising future research directions toward FAFL.

Whom to ask? Whom to trust? Parents’ preferences for sources of advice on social-emotional parenting issues

ABSTRACT Accumulating evidence shows how parents can support children’s social-emotional development with positive parenting practices. However, when confronted with parenting challenges, few parents seek evidence-based counseling. This study identifies main sources of advice for parents and examines the reasons why parents decide which sources to trust and use. Therefore, we interviewed parents of preschoolers on parenting challenges, sources of advice, general trust in these sources, and dimensions of trustworthiness. Parents’ trust was highly correlated with their intention to seek advice from someone. Furthermore, parents were most likely to seek advice within their close personal environment. Regarding the dimensions of trustworthiness, namely ability, benevolence, and integrity, we found that benevolence best predicted parents’ trust. Concerning ability, participants’ judgements were based on personal experience for some advice sources (e.g. friends, family) and on theoretical knowledge for others. Overall, this study emphasizes the important role of interpersonal trust and the dimensions of trustworthiness in advice-seeking settings. Parents already attribute evidence-based ability to professional counseling services. Consequently, we discuss how to improve evidence-based counseling by enhancing its perceived benevolence and integrity, for example, through promoting transparent and ethical practices, showing a commitment to the best interests of clients, and building strong relationships with clients.

კლიენტთა კმაყოფილება როგორც ბანკებისადმი ერთგულების ახალი პარადიგმა

At least two parties are involved in any relationship. It is the same in banks – both parties have their own interests. It is in the interest of the bank to get more profit from any transaction, and in the interest of the client – less loss. Until recently, banks functioned only in their own interests. Even now, Georgian banks either do not consider the interests of clients at all, or consider them minimally. According to a special study, the satisfaction of clients in Alpha and Beta banks of Georgia is only at an average level, and some components of satisfaction are at an even lower level. This refers to the appearance of sympathy and consideration for the client on the part of the bank's representative. It is concluded that evaluating the quality of service of Georgian banks, the factor of customer satisfaction will be evaluated as a weak point. Banks should strengthen their efforts in this direction, because customer satisfaction leads to their loyalty to the banks, which is a necessary condition for achieving their long-term goals.

Cannabis donation as a harm reduction strategy: a case study

BackgroundThe United States (US) continues to experience unprecedented rates of overdose mortality and there is increased need to identify effective harm reduction practices. Research from Canada describes cannabis donation through harm reduction agencies as an adjunctive strategy to mitigate the negative consequences of more harmful drugs. This case study describes the operational logistics, feasibility, and potential benefits of a cannabis donation program that was operated through a harm reduction program in rural Michigan.Case presentationWe applied a community driven research approach to gather information from harm reduction program staff about the implementation and evolution of cannabis donation efforts in Michigan. We also examined 20-months (September 2021 through May 2023) of administrative data from a cannabis company to compare the sale and donation of cannabis products. Ten cannabis-experienced harm reduction clients received cannabis donations, with clinical staff determining client interest and appropriateness, and providing weekly pick-up or delivery. To expand product availability and sustainability, we examined administrative data from a commercialcannabis company that volunteered to provide donations. This administrative data suggests that while flower products constitute most of the adult and medical sales, edible, oil, and topical products predominated donations. Further, cost analysis suggests that donations represent only 1% of total gross sales and account for much less than the expected yearly donation amount.ConclusionsResearch suggests there is potential to reduce alcohol and drug use related harms of more dangerous substances through substitution with cannabis. This case study is the first to document cannabis donation as a harm reduction practice in the US and suggests potential for sustainability dependent on state laws. Findings from this case study provide a starting point for inquiry into cannabis donation as a harm reduction strategy in the US; future research is needed to fully understand the individual-level outcomes, public health impacts, necessary legal regulations, and best practices for cannabis donation programs through harm reduction organizations.

PENERAPAN PRINSIP HAK IMUNITAS ADVOKAT ATAS INTERPRETASI OBSTRUCSTION OF JUSTICE DALAM PERKARA PIDANA DI INDONESIA.


 
 
 
 An advocate is a person whose profession is to provide legal services both inside and outside the court which fulfills the requirements based on the provisions of the law/the role and function of an advocate includes work carried out in court regarding criminal or civil law matters. Advocates cannot be prosecuted civilly or criminally. carry out their duties in good faith, namely to defend the client's interests in the trial process. These provisions expressly state the protection or immunity of advocates against all legal claims if they are carrying out their duties to accompany their clients on condition that they are based on good faith. According to the explanation of Article 16 of the Law on Advocates, what is meant by good faith is carrying out professional duties for the sake of upholding justice based on the law. Then the scope of this principle was expanded through the Constitutional Court decision Number 26/PUU-XI/2013. However, in criminal cases, advocates who defend their clients often commit acts aimed at obstructing and impeding the criminal justice process, known as obstruction of justice. The problem formulated is how does the principle of advocate immunity rights apply to the interpretation of obstruction of justice in criminal cases in Indonesia? What is the legal protection for advocates' immunity rights when defending their clients in criminal cases in Indonesia?
 To answer the problems above, the author uses legal research with a normative juridical approach. The type of legal research carried out in this research is normative juridical where law is conceptualized as what is written in statutory regulations (law in books) or law is conceptualized as rules or Norms are standards for human behavior that are considered appropriate. The approach applied is the Statute Approach and the Case Approach. The theories used in this research are the Law Enforcement Theory from Soerjono Soekanto, the Legal Protection Theory from Satjipto Raharjo and Philipus M. Hadjon, and the Professional Ethics Theory Advocate.The results of this research show that; The application of the principle of the Right to Advocate Immunity should not be interpreted excessively by an advocate, let alone as a shield in acting on behalf of a client who is in conflict with the law and not based on good faith. This is so vulnerable to being hit by legal violations such as obstruction of investigations or another term, Obstruction Of Justice. If it is proven that an advocate is not carrying out his duties in good faith, then the Law on Advocates and also the Code of Ethics for Indonesian Advocates will not protect his Immunity Rights. According to him, advocates in carrying out their profession are carried out carefully, carefully, alertly, and accompanied by high dedication, so that they become law enforcement figures who uphold the law, maintain the credibility and good name of the profession, and the most important thing is that every action taken must be based on good intention.
