PERSON CENTERED MEDICINE, WELL-BEING AND QUALITY OF LIFE

Background: Person Centered Medicine places the person at the center of the
 concept of health and as the proper target of health actions. This makes positive
 health, including wellbeing and quality of life, a matter of high interest among the
 concepts, procedures and activities of person centered medicine and health.
 Objectives: This paper is aimed at exploring, documenting and discussing the
 concepts and procedures for positive health, particularly well-being and quality of
 life, within the framework of person centered medicine and health.
 Method: For addressing these objectives, first, a selective review of the literature
 was conducted concerning the place of positive health within the recognized
 concepts and practical procedures of the programmatic movement on Person
 Centered Medicine. Then, a more systematic review of the medical and health
 literature was conducted on concepts and procedures for addressing and assessing
 well-being and quality of life within the framework of person centered medicine.
 Results: Findings concerning positive health developments (particularly involving
 well-being and quality of life) produced under the aegis of the International
 College of Person Centered Medicine included, first, its place in the systematic
 conceptualization of person centered medicine, where it is part and parcel of the
 principles on ethics commitment and holistic framework, as well as the principlesbased
 Person-centered Care Index (PCI). Second, positive health is a distinctive
 and prominent element of the informational domains of the Person-centered
 Integrative Diagnosis (PID) model, as well as in practical applications such as the
 Latin American Guide for Psychiatric Diagnosis developed and published by the
 Psychiatric Association of Latin America (APAL). A second set of findings
 emerged from a systematic review of the literature on “Person centered medicine,
 well-being and quality of life”. It yielded 27 papers, dealing with theoretical
 concepts and instrumentation, which were tabularly analyzed. The concepts of
 well-being (WB) and quality of life (QoL) tended to be used interchangeably as
 well as complementarily, with QoL tending to be seen as more encompassing and
 often incorporating WB. Some major well-being studies have used a group of
 instruments to cover key aspects of WB. Several encompassing instruments for
 the assessment of QoL and WB were identified, having a range of features and
 applications. Among the most frequently used seem to be the WHO-instrument
 for Quality of Life and the Multicultural Quality of Life Index.
 Discussion: The importance ascribed to positive health is growing internationally,
 with particular focus on WB and QoL. This is illustrated by the United Nations’
 Sustainable Development Goals, which formulates its Goal on Health in terms of
 promoting healthy lives and well-being for all.
 Conclusions: The importance of QoL and WB in the health field in general and
 in particular for person-centered medicine has been well documented. Some
 useful and encompassing instruments for assessing these concepts have been
 elucidated, which have general applicability and are substantially validated
 internationally.

Professional Ethics of Auditors and Its Impact on Audit Quality

This study investigates the professional ethics of auditors and its impact on audit quality. A qualitative literature review methodology was employed to synthesize findings from existing studies. The analysis revealed a nuanced relationship between auditors' ethical conduct and audit quality, with some studies indicating a positive association, while others presenting conflicting or inconclusive results. Factors such as organizational culture, ethical training, regulatory mechanisms, and client characteristics were identified as influential determinants of auditors' ethical behavior and audit quality outcomes. Theoretical implications suggest the need for further development to comprehensively understand the determinants and consequences of auditor ethics. Managerial implications highlight the importance of fostering a positive ethical culture, investing in ethical training programs, strengthening regulatory oversight, and prioritizing clients with strong ethical commitments. This study contributes to the ongoing discourse on enhancing the effectiveness of auditing practices and regulatory mechanisms in safeguarding investor interests and maintaining confidence in financial markets.

Methodology to evaluate transversal competences in the master's degree in industrial engineering based on a system of rubrics and indicators

<p>This paper presents a methodology to evaluate transversal competences in the context of the subject “Design and application of industrial equipment” in the Master's Degree in Industrial Engineering at Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain). The competency-based education implies several activities, such as a project-based learning that must be eventually defended in public by students in groups. Evidence of learning is collected based on a well-defined system of rubrics and indicators, which are known in advance by students. We have observed that the use of such techniques improves the students learning on the contents of the subject, allows to acquire the transversal competences related to the analysis and problem solving, and enhances the ability to understand concepts intuitively. Moreover, results clearly show a positive influence on the use of such tools for improving the professional and ethical commitment to the issues raised.</p>

This study aims to examine the causal relationship between corporate governance mechanism variables, board of directors commitment ethics, and company performance. Corporate governance is measured by looking at the effectiveness of commissioners and audit committees, ethical commitment of the board of directors is measured score of 0 to 4 and company performance is measured by return on assets (ROA) and return on equity (ROE). This study found that corporate governance have an influence on company performance as measured using return on assets (ROA), while corporate governance have no influence on company performance as measured using return on assets (ROE). The ethical commitment of the board of directors is unable to strengthen the relationship between corporate governance and company performance as measured by ROA or ROE.

EDUCAÇÃO FÍSICA NA EDUCAÇÃO INFANTIL

A educação infantil é a primeira etapa da educação básica pela qual as crianças iniciam o percurso na educação formal e passam a vivenciar novas aprendizagens que potencializam o seu desenvolvimento psicomotor e social, a exemplo da Educação Física. Sendo assim, o presente estudo tem por objetivo discutir a importância da Educação Física na Educação Infantil. Foi utilizada uma pesquisa bibliográfica com abordagem qualitativa. Os resultados apresentaram que apesar da Educação Física ser um componente curricular obrigatório na educação básica, observa-se a ausência na educação infantil. Nesse contexto, torna-se essencial o compromisso ético, político e social dos professores de Educação Física em exigir o cumprimento da LDB, a fim de não perder esse espaço tão importante para a formação cognitiva, social e mental das crianças.

Add Business and Stir

Abstract This essay makes a case for teaching an interdisciplinary undergraduate course at the intersection of religion, ecology, and business. At a basic level, this approach gets students with diverse intellectual orientations and career interests in the same room; letting business and environmental studies majors work together on these questions fosters a variation on interfaith engagement. More deeply, it creates space for them to develop critical self-awareness about their own ethical commitments. The fact that no single instructor can be an expert in all three fields should not prevent us from stepping boldly into uncharted territory. The degradation of the earth is an interdisciplinary problem that requires interdisciplinary solutions, and each of us has something to contribute right now even if we cannot do it all. As teachers and lifelong learners, we can and must model intellectual humility even as we look for ways to take decisive individual and collective action.

How formal is the ethics of responsibility?

Max Weber’s last in his life publications give grounds to correct the traditional notions of the ethics of responsibility as purely calculative and one that subordinates the ethical goal to the right means of achieving it and the strictness of its observance. For Weber devotion to certain values is ultimately the basis of any possible ethics: in the ethics of conviction, this devotion is contrasted with taking into account all the results of the ethical act, and in the ethics of responsibility these results seek to take into account what should make certain values more reliable. Passionate commitment to political goals that express the interests of the community, rather than the selfish and vain intentions of the politician is a solid basis for the responsibility of the politician. The passionate pursuit of truth directs the scientist’s well-thought-out research pro- gram. In economics, the pursuit of personal gain, which is inherent for the “economic man”, requires consideration of the common economic good both for those with whom the man makes his business and for the community, which is his lifeworld and creates the necessary conditions for any possible economic activity. In any social sphere, each social system has its own logic of calculating success, but each time this calculation involves respecting and protecting the basic values for this system. In everyday life we observe numerous deviations from this clear and transparent logic of the ethics of responsibility, which create the illusion of its dysfunction. Similarly, insincere and inconsistent adherence to declared beliefs can give the wrong impression of the whole ethics of conviction. It is these deviations from the intrinsic integrity of the ethics of responsibility and the ethics of persuasion that create the false impression of them as mutu- ally exclusive behavioral strategies. In their conscientious pursuit, the ethics of conviction and the ethics of responsibility complement each other. The formalism of the ethics of responsibility makes sense only for a stricter and more impartial protection of the values that are important to the adherents of this ethic. This formalism is a denial only of all other, irrelevant values, and not a designation of responsibility for a particular ethical commitment as a value-empty, indifferent form. Weber points to the prospect of recognition as a path to a collective ethic of responsibility in its positive sense — as a conscious commitment by a community of like-minded people to commit to values that are significant to them.

Reducing moral ambiguity in partially observed human–robot interactions

Human–robot interactions are increasingly taking place between a robot agent and a human observer who, unable to witness all aspects of the robot's behaviour, is uncertain as to how the robot will behave. This uncertainty has serious consequences when it concerns the normative aspects of machine behaviour: that is, whether the robot's actions are morally permissible. Bringing together distinct threads from robotic design and machine ethics, we demonstrate the importance of conveying ethical understanding and commitment in order to reduce moral ambiguity and how this can demand a behavioural demonstration. We provide a framework that structures these considerations in the form of a broad constraint on robot behaviour: roughly, to avoid behaviour, even if it is permissible, if that behaviour could appear impermissible. Thus, we formalise a model of communicative-behavioural ethics in human–robot interactions. We apply this constraint to a series of example cases demonstrating how it can be modified to incorporate different sources of information including preferences and probabilities. This reveals the complexity of less idealised cases and highlights how the constraint can be fine-tuned along a number of dimensions to take into account, amongst other thing, risk attitudes.

The environmental enrichment model revisited: A translatable paradigm to study the stress of our modern lifestyle.

Mounting evidence shows that physical activity, social interaction and sensorimotor stimulation provided by environmental enrichment (EE) exert several neurobehavioural effects traditionally interpreted as enhancements relative to standard housing (SH) conditions. However, this evidence rather indicates that SH induces many deficits, which could be ameliorated by exposing animals to an environment vaguely mimicking some features of their wild habitat. Rearing rodents in social isolation (SI) can aggravate such deficits, which can be restored by SH or EE. It is not surprising, therefore, that most preclinical stress models have included severe and unnatural stressors to produce a stress response prominent enough to be distinguishable from SH or SI-frequently used as control groups. Although current stress models induce a stress-related phenotype, they may fail to represent the stress of our urban lifestyle characterized by SI, poor housing and working environments, sedentarism, obesity and limited access to recreational activities and exercise. In the following review, we discuss the stress of living in urban areas and how exposures to and performing activities in green environments are stress relievers. Based on the commonalities between human and animal EE, we discuss how models of housing conditions (e.g., SI-SH-EE) could be adapted to study the stress of our modern lifestyle. The housing conditions model might be easy to implement and replicate leading to more translational results. It may also contribute to accomplishing some ethical commitments by promoting the refinement of procedures to model stress, diminishing animal suffering, enhancing animal welfare and eventually reducing the number of experimental animals needed.

The role of blinded independent radiologic review in ovarian cancer clinical trials: Discerning the value

Clinical trials are the cornerstone of medical research whereby hypothesis testing leads to meaningful advancements in care. Clinical trials require close monitoring for patient benefit and safety, as well as proper design to minimize bias and ensure applicability and validity. Clinical trialists have an ethical commitment to perform high quality research and optimize the deployment of limited resources including patients and funds.

Feminist Critical Hindu Studies in formation

AbstractThis article outlines the philosophy, methodology, and aims of Feminist Critical Hindu Studies (FCHS). We propose a series of strategies and commitments for change and action in the fields of South Asian Religions, Hindu Studies, and South Asian Studies. We draw on the work of scholars in Queer, Critical Race, and Feminist theories. We argue for a queering methodology that disorients us from and seeks to make visible the structures of knowledge and power on which Hinduism and Hindu Studies rest, including the intersecting processes of racialization, the regulation of sexuality and gender, and the violence of caste. We use the concept of Hindu formations to complicate the notions of “Hinduism” and “Hindus” as categories that not only arise in conjunction with forms of white supremacy and caste supremacy, but are imbricated with them. This approach allows us to explore how these categories have been used by various groups throughout history to empower and subjugate people. Driven by the theoretical frameworks of disorientation, intersectionality, and assemblage, FCHS reorients us in our relationship to Hindu Studies, as well as the spaces, practices, and people that inhabit academic institutions, newly attentive to who and what is missing. The work of FCHS is both academic and activist in nature: we call for ethical commitments to build meaningful relations of solidarity and allyship. Working against systemic oppression requires a willingness to interrogate our own positionalities and challenge our complicities.

Campos de atuação e os desafios da arqueologia empresarial no Brasil

Em um contexto de aumento de projetos de infraestrutura no Brasil e de uma legislação que busca regular e orientar a atuação dos arqueólogos no âmbito de obtenção de licenças ambientais, as empresas de arqueologia vêm crescendo em número. Além deste contexto, a arqueologia empresarial atua em outros campos de gestão do patrimônio arqueológico, como a avaliação de cavidades, as obras de restauro de edificações e a consultoria para museus. Junto com este crescimento surgem questões a serem discutidas, das quais destaca-se o tema da qualidade das pesquisas e do compromisso ético dos arqueólogos envolvidos. O diálogo entre os arqueólogos que atuam em diversos contextos de pesquisa é crucial para a evolução deste debate, principalmente tenho em vista a atual situação em que as ciências humanas buscam maior investimento por parte do governo e reconhecimento da sociedade como um todo.

Ethnographic stews: Decennial reflections

This issue also features a book symposium on Sophia Stamatopoulou-Robbin’s Waste siege: The life of infrastructure in Palestine. This outstanding book analyzes waste in both its ontological and phenomenological forms—that is to say, it considers both the biological effects of waste on the human bodies of those who are forced to live with it, and the social effects of the often scientifically inaccurate interpretations of waste that those same people make. In the symposium, Rosalind Fredericks, Amahl Bishara, Kali Rubaii, and Munira Khayyat question the political and ethical commitments and effects of an ethnography that simultaneously deals in the ontological and the phenomenological. What are the hazards of thinking waste siege in Palestine as part of a global condition versus the hazards of thinking it primarily in terms of Israeli occupation? In what senses are the material transformation of waste (processes of decay, oxidation, dispersal, and concentration) political and in what ways are the imagined politics of waste scientific? In their respectful but critical comments and in Stamatopoulou-Robbin’s thoughtful reply, the contributors to this section ensure that the provocative and inescapable problems of waste receive the attention they deserve.

Second ethical comments towards COVID-19 (one year later)

At the beginning of COVID-19 development, when social vulnerability in the face of the global infectious threat became obvious, we presented target information on a key civilizational issue — the role of ethics in epidemic emergencies. The compliance of RF legislation and the world ethical standards analyzed on based on the study of the humanitarian heritage of pandemic management and a review of existing international documents. Today, one year later, it is time to practically evaluate the effectiveness of the ideology of ethical commitment and objectively comprehend the conflicts that have arisen, their causes and consequences. It should be emphasized that this work is not a so-called “moral lesson learned from COVID-19”, but representation of a real picture of how the centuries-old experience of former epidemics and pandemics was taken into account and the unique truth of the ethical content of management decisions and actions was accepted. It is particularly important to have a possibility to present this article as a continuation of our research topic on the bioethics of pandemics, on the pages of such an authoritative, specialized journal, which fully allows us to preserve the integrity of ideas about the humanitarian essence of anti-epidemic measures. This humanitarian parallel starts from the moment of managing a particular patient with infectious pathology until large-scale measures for eradication vaccine-preventable diseases. A comprehensive and dynamic look at the need to find ways and the nature of overcoming ethical conflicts during the ongoing pandemic of the new coronavirus infection could determine the ethical approach of longterm recommendations in the field of public health protection and ensure the stability of social trust in the future.

Les choix moraux du psychopathe sous le prisme de la théorie de l’identité morale

GoalsContrary to the hypothesis that psychopaths do not possess the moral discernment required to think about their actions on the basis of certain moral reasons, several studies suggest the presence of a gap between what these individuals evaluate, judge, or recognize and what they actually choose to do. While theories of moral motivation designed to account for this discordance generally favor either rationalist or emotivist positions, recent work in experimental philosophy as well as in moral psychology tends to give an increasingly central place to the notion of moral identity, which would constitute an additional – and ultimately truly decisive – source of moral motivation, drawing on norms that are not objective and impersonal, but subjective and personal. MethodAfter having shown that our moral reasoning and our affects are not in themselves sufficient to shed light on the origin – and the intra- and inter-individual variability – of our moral decisions, we present the personological conception of the moral self and the normative relationship to oneself that it supposes. We then discuss the nature of the relationship between psychopathic personality and moral identity. ResultsSome research with adults has shown that differences in moral judgment skills do not predict the levels of psychopathic traits assessed. However, subjects who function psychopathically would only minimally – and anecdotally – incorporate moral traits into their self-concept. They would find it difficult to perceive or conceive of themselves as moral agents shaped and defined by a series of ethical commitments. DiscussionThe motivational influence of the moral self on our moral choices rests on a self-referential process that resembles a third-order reflection consisting in questioning – and then conforming to – the kind of person I want to be, that I have to be; to evaluate the degree of conformity of my momentary desires with what I wish to desire on the moral domain. This presupposes, as we will see, a kind of extraction, of detachment from the present, in order to identify – and thus identify with – past moral resolutions. ConclusionWe finish by defending the thesis according to which psychopathy could, in some cases at least, result from the subject's inability to mentally “time travel,” thus compromising the capacity to distance or to disengage oneself from a present desire, or to situate it in the competitive “space” of previously (self)contracted normative requirements. Such temporal inefficiency disrupts the movements of identification with particular moral commitments; paralyzes the prospective impulses projecting the person we will be if we make such and such a choice; and, moreover, neutralizes the narrative process that contributes to the construction of our moral identity by assigning us moral dispositions or tendencies to which we ultimately refer when it comes to making moral decisions.

Science education research practices and its boundaries: on methodological and epistemological challenges

In this commentary, I try to explore more consequences of the objective set by Sherman, Bateman, Jeong and Hudock (Cult Stud Sci Edu, 2019. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11422-019-09961-8 ), namely, “what is science education research as to consider the possibilities of what may also be, but not yet is”. I argue that the main potency of the article is the fact that they push on the practices of science education research field, potentially expanding the way we can think science education research. I put forward the argument that this can be done epistemologically and methodologically and it must be guided by a broad ethical commitment to education, so that we can restore the debate on the ends of science education. To this end, I divide the article into three sections: in the first, I take science education as a set of scientific practices, and as such, it is open to the dispute of meanings and ways of doing. Secondly, I draw considerations on the challenges and opportunities of qualitative research in post-positivist (science) education, which challenge certain traditions found in science education that still rely on a positivist bias. Finally, I elaborate some final comments, where I discuss possibilities for the direction of science education as a field of scientific practices.
