Exploring the Ethical Dimensions of AI in Decision-Making Processes

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has swiftly integrated into decision-making processes across various sectors, transforming how choices are made. This review examines the ethical considerations of using AI in decision-making, focusing on the implications of algorithms, automation, and machine learning. The integration of AI introduces numerous ethical concerns that require thorough examination. The opacity of algorithms raises issues of transparency, accountability, and bias. AI-driven decision-making can be complex and challenging to interpret, leading to difficulties in understanding how specific decisions are reached. This lack of clarity and accountability poses ethical challenges, particularly when decisions impact individuals or groups. Bias in AI algorithms is a significant ethical issue. Machine learning models trained on biased data can perpetuate and amplify existing biases. Addressing this requires careful evaluation of training data, algorithm design, and ongoing monitoring to ensure fairness and reduce discrimination. The growing reliance on AI for decision-making also raises questions about accountability and responsibility. Determining who is responsible for AI-made decisions is complex. Establishing an accountability framework is essential to ensure shared responsibility among individuals, organizations, and developers. Ethical considerations also encompass the broader societal impact of AI in decision-making. Issues such as job displacement, economic inequality, and the concentration of power require careful ethical analysis. Balancing technological progress with social responsibility is crucial to ensure AI benefits society. In conclusion, this review emphasizes the ethical implications of integrating AI into decision-making. It highlights the importance of transparency, fairness, and accountability in addressing concerns about bias, responsibility, and societal impact. Ethical frameworks must evolve alongside technology to ensure responsible and equitable AI integration in decision-making.

“I Buy Paraffin So He Can Read in the Evening” – A Study from Kenya about Parental Involvement in School

The present paper investigates parental involvement in a rural primary school in Kenya. Qualitative interviews have been used to gather information from ten parents, a class teacher and a head teacher. The aim of the case study is to find out how – if at all – parents are involved in their children’s education, and how important parents’ background and involvement in school activities are for their children’s results. It is also interested in determining whether the school-home relationship in rural Kenya may provide new knowledge to the relationship between minority parents and schools in western countries. The findings of the study indicate no shared responsibility between parents and school; the school is solely responsible for students’ education. Normally, parents’ responsibility is limited to providing economic resources: buying school uniforms, books and other necessities. Where the mother tongue is not a school language, some parents also prepare their children for school by code-switching at home: using both the school language and the mother tongue. There is hardly any relationship to be found between parents’ involvement and students’ results. The findings from the study may provide new knowledge about minority parents’ involvement in school in western education.

Evaluating the implementation of Nuevo Amanecer-II in rural community settings using mixed methods and equity frameworks

BackgroundThe 10-week Nuevo Amanecer-II intervention, tested through a randomized controlled trial, reduced anxiety and improved stress management skills among Spanish-speaking Latina breast cancer survivors. This paper describes the implementation and equity evaluation outcomes of the Nuevo Amanecer-II intervention delivered in three California rural communities.MethodsUsing implementation and equity frameworks, concurrent convergent mixed methods were applied to evaluate implementation (feasibility, fidelity, acceptability, adoption, appropriateness, and sustainability) and equity (shared power and capacity building) outcomes. Quantitative data were collected using tracking forms, fidelity rating forms, and program evaluation surveys; qualitative data were collected using semi-structured in-depth interviews. Respondents included community-based organization (CBO) administrators, recruiters, compañeras (interventionists), and program participants.ResultsOf 76 women randomized to the intervention, 65 (86%) completed at least 7 of 10 sessions. Participants’ knowledge (85% correct of 7 questions) and skills mastery were high (85% able to correctly perform 14 skills). Mean fidelity ratings across compañeras ranged from 3.8 (modeled skills) to 5.0 (used supportive/caring communication); 1–5 scale. The program was rated as very good/excellent by 90% of participants. Participants and compañeras suggested including family members; compañeras suggested expanding content on managing thoughts and mood and healthy living and having access to participant’s survivorship care plan to tailor breast cancer information. CBOs adopted the program because it aligned with their priority populations and mission. Building on CBOs’ knowledge, resources, and infrastructure, implementation success was due to shared power, learning, responsibility, and co-ownership, resulting in a co-created tailored program for community and organizational contexts. Building intervention capacity prior to implementation, providing funding, and ongoing technical support to CBOs were vital for fidelity and enhancement of recruiter and compañera professional skills. Two of three CBOs created plans for program sustainability beyond the clinical trial; all administrators discussed the need for new funding sources to sustain the program as delivered.ConclusionsBuilding on community assets and using equitable participatory research processes were central to the successful implementation of a peer-delivered psychosocial intervention in three rural communities among Spanish-speaking Latinas with breast cancer.

Green Tax Policy Model: Towards Green Growth Environment

The objective of green tax law is to promote green growth among companies, people and communities as well as environmental preservation. The Malaysian green tax law, however, is more concerned with tax incentives than with tax penalties. Evidence showed most companies in Malaysia are not even aware of the incentive-based tax and thus, do not include them as part of their strategies for environmental sustainability. The green tax penalty has become a popular environmental policy tool for many countries, but not in Malaysia. The Malaysian system of environmental taxes should include the green tax penalty. Therefore, this study aims to identify key drivers for companies to respond to the green tax policy. The study uses institutional theory to explore the driving force of green tax acceptance within companies. Institutional pressure suggests that the three mechanisms of organisational changes are coercive, mimetic, and normative pressures. Coercive pressure stems from political influences and the legitimacy problem; mimetic pressure results from a standard response to uncertainty, and normative pressure is associated with professionalisation. The study utilises the survey questionnaire to identify opinions, experiences and behaviours towards green tax acceptance among manufacturing companies. The population of the study is manufacturing companies and the unit of analysis is managers or accountants who represent the manufacturing companies and members of the Federation of Malaysian Manufacturer (FMM). The outcomes from the study confirmed the institutional theory to support the green tax reform acceptance for companies in Malaysia. The study also develops a green tax model that the government can take into account when enacting green tax reform so that companies can cooperate with Malaysia's green tax law. The study contributes to institutional theory by conceptualising the key drivers of green tax laws among Malaysian companies. The conceptualisation is used to formulate a structural model that explains the key drivers of green tax laws, and the structural model is tested against empirical data. A better understanding of factors influencing green tax policy acceptance is relevant to the government to strengthen the green growth environment and enhance awareness to create a shared responsibility among Malaysian companies.

Guidelines for Physical Activity, Sedentary Behavior, and Sleep in Colombian Youth during COVID-19

Abstract The Canadian 24-Hour movement guidelines integrate physical activity, sedentary behaviour and sleep habits for children and adolescents. This study aims to assess the compliance of these guidelines in Colombia, as an instrument to design strategies of health promotion in this population. A cross-sectional study in 619 scholars aged 7-17 in Caribbean Colombian region was performed to measure aerobic activity, muscular force and flexibility during 7 days through the ActivityGram questionnaire of the Cooper Institute. The data was gathered in May, 2021, through phone interviewing, and parents and participants signed an informed consent form. The screen time was measured (in hours/day), as well as the times sitting and sleeping, to perform a regression analysis and determine the Pearson coefficient characterizing the correlation between the total time in physical activity and the time in aerobic exercise. A 73.5% of the sample do not comply with the Canadian physical activity guidelines. The mean sleeping time per day is 7.9±1.2 h, being 8.1±1.2 h for 7-13 scholars and 7.5±1.3 h for 14-17 adolescents (p = 0.003). Sedentary behaviour exceeds 2 h per day, being 4.7±1.3 h sitting and 3.2±1.9 h screen time. Aerobic exercise was the most influential in the total time of physical activity (r = 0.82, p = 0.0001). The sample was composed of 51.5% males, and the mean age was 11.5±3.2 years. In this sample, 80.5% were socioeconomically vulnerable, and 55.7% were involved in remote learning activities. The COVID-19 health emergency increased the non-compliance of the physical activity guidelines and the sedentary behaviour in childhood and adolescence. It is mandatory to design health promotion strategies to encourage active life styles during these stages, as they lay the foundations of healthy habits in the future, and this is a shared responsibility between educational institutions, families and policy-making institutions Key messages • The ActivityGram test assesses physical activity in children and adolescents. • Analysis of physical activity and sedentary habits help to design health promotion policies in young people.

Factors Associated with Life Satisfaction among Teachers Working in Primary Education

In recent years, there has been an increasing amount of literature on teaching well-being. Reasearch has identified two broad aspects of subjective well-being, i.e. and affective component, which is usually divided into pleasant affects and unpleasant affects, and a cognitive component, which is referred to as life satisfaction. Current research points out that, in order to be effective in the educational classroom activities and in order to have a sense of self-fulfillment, teachers must acquire and maintain well-being. It has been argued that well-being improves teachers’ability to interact with students, teach concepts, face psychological, educational and social challenges, and avoid burnout. Furthermore, the physical, emotional, and social health of teachers is a shared responsibility and a critical component of student learning. Therefore, addressing teacher well-being is a key step in school-wide well-being programs to promote student well-being, motivation, achievement, and success. This study aimed to investigate the factors associated with life satisfaction among Romanian teachers working in primary education. Participants (N = 62; age range: 24-54) completed the Romanian versions of Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS; Diener et al., 1985), Big Five Inventory (BFI; John, Donahue, & Kentle; 1991), and Teacher Self-Efficacy Scale (TSES; Schwarzer, Schmitz, & Daytner, 1999). Correlational data provided full/partial support for working hypotheses. Some practical implications are discussed.

‘Malgré la pandémie’

This article presents an analysis of the 2021 New Year address to the nation given by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, after nine months of the COVID-19 crisis. The theoretical perspective used is systemic functional linguistics, and comparisons are made with my prior analysis of his address for the previous year. The study focuses on Macron’s use of personal pronouns. It was found that the first-person singular subject pronoun, je, occurs predominantly with mental processes, but that the plural subject pronoun, nous, occurs more frequently, and that the dominant process type is material. Further, whereas the first-person singular is rarely present other than as the subject, the first-person plural frequently occurs as a possessive. Thus, as is common in Macron’s discourse more generally, je is avoided in favour of nous, and Macron plays on the ambiguity of this pronoun to draw the public into shared responsibility for governmental policy. One difference with the 2020 address is that here he uses few expressions of modality, and these are rarely deontic (obligation), most being dynamic (physical possibility).

Workplace approaches to teaching digital accessibility: establishing a common foundation of awareness and understanding

Accessibility in the digital world is a shared responsibility, requiring a common foundation of awareness and understanding. However, little is known about how digital accessibility can be effectively taught, and research on workplace teaching and training in accessibility is highly scarce, despite its crucial role in building accessibility capacity in the workforce. This paper considers workplace accessibility pedagogy to focus on aspects of foundational education, characterized as a pedagogically informed set of teaching strategies, cultivated through organizational and workplace cultures and practices. It contributes an analysis and synthesis of pedagogic research with 55 experienced accessibility educators in higher education and the workplace, in the UK and internationally, drawing on insights from expert panel methods including interviews, forums and focus groups. We find that digital accessibility is identified as a necessary core competency for an inclusive digital world. We examine the prevalent approaches that experienced workplace educators use to establish foundational awareness and understanding of accessibility to enable learners to achieve core learning objectives. We report the challenges that workplace educators face, negotiating different contexts and working practices and adapting foundational learning experiences to meet the pedagogic demands of different roles, responsibilities, and specialist advancement. In doing so, we demonstrate that establishing a common foundation of awareness and understanding is the basis for a pedagogic framework for digital accessibility education, with relevance for both workplace and academic settings.
