Learnings and Reflections on Transition to New Competency-based Medical Education, MBBS curriculum in Microbiology: A Cross-sectional Observational Study

Introduction: Conventional teaching in microbiology revolved around the study of microorganisms without clinical relevance. Therefore, a New Competency-based Undergraduate (UG) Medical curriculum (New CBME) was rolled out in the academic year 2019 to make Indian Medical Graduates more clinically competent yet globally relevant. Aim: To assess the impact of the change in curriculum on students’ performance and desired educational outcomes before and after the implementation of the new curriculum. Likewise, the study aimed to analyse the experiences and reflections of medical teachers towards these amendments. Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional observational study was conducted on 82 students from the second year Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery (MBBS) with a traditional curriculum and 74 with the new Competency-based Medical Education (CBME) curriculum at the Department of Microbiology, Smt. B.K. Shah Medical Institute and Research Centre, Piparia, Vadodara, Gujarat, India, between February 2020 and November 2021. In both batches, topics from core as well as non core areas of various systems were included along with the Attitude, Ethics and Communication (AETCOM) modules. A comparison of both groups was done, and Chisquare values and p-values were calculated. Results: The batch with the new CBME curriculum was able to provide a provisional diagnosis for a case-based question better than the Traditional batch {n=60/74 (81%) vs n=44/82 (54%), p-value=0.0005, significant}. However, the correct aetiology, pathogenesis, and laboratory diagnosis were written better in the traditional batch compared to the new one, n=44/82 (54%) vs n=24/74 (32%). Regarding the AETCOM skills, the new batch had a better understanding of proper communication and ethics, i.e., 73/74 (99%), p-value<0.00001, Significant, while 66/82 students (80%) of the traditional batch and 67/74 (90%) of the new batch were aware of confidentiality issues. In viva voce, the new batch showed a lot of confusion regarding the names, types of micro-organisms, and the laboratory diagnosis of diseases caused by them compared to the traditional batch (p-value <0.00156, significant). Conclusion: After implementing the new CBME curriculum to undergraduate students and analysing the feedback of teachers and the performance of students, it was felt that an appraisal of the new curriculum is required for a satisfactory outcome in microbiology so that microbiology content can be incorporated with clinical relevance.

Хозяйственно-управленческая этика советских руководителей предприятий 1930–1940-х гг. По источникам личного происхождения

This article, for the first time in domestic historiography, scrutinizes the ethical principles guiding the managerial activities of directors in Russian enterprises during the 1930s and 1940s. To address this issue, a selection was made from sources of personal origin, consisting of expressions concerning the principles of managerial ethics, followed by a structured description of these principles. The study employs historical-comparative and historical-genetic methods. The significance of the economic-ethical aspect of the soviet leaders mentality allows for a fresh understanding of the genesis of the soviet elite and its role in the transformation of the socio-economic structure of the country. Furthermore, the examination of the labor ethics of soviet leaders based on personal origin sources is undertaken by the author for the first time in historiography. Additionally, the article introduces a novel approach by applying a systematic structuring method to the managerial-ethical principles of enterprise leadership. The study of managerial ethics is conducted based on personal origin sources, such as memoirs and diaries of enterprise directors. The primary portion of the source complex is extracted from the archives of the Russian State Archive of Economics (memoirs of A. L. Kozlov, A. M. Kontorshchikov, Yu. N. Kozhevnikov, and the diary of M. V. Yasvoin), the majority of which remain unpublished and minimally incorporated into scholarly discourse. The methodological foundation for studying these sources is rooted in A. Rikh's works on the understanding of economic ethics, as well as contemporary Russian historians works on new property relations in the soviet economy of the 1930s to the early 1950s. The author concludes that the fundamental ethical principles adhered to by enterprise leaders in their managerial activities consisted of an «oath» to the fundamental postulates of soviet authority and the requirements formulated by the state. The leaders deemed the principles of centralized command and personal labor participation in enterprise affairs as correct. Regarding moral norms of management, the leaders considered personal gain, nepotism, and favoritism, among other practices, as unacceptable. However, the principles of economic-labor ethics identified through published sources do not encompass the latent stratum of the soviet economic model, where deviations from certain economic-ideological norms, disregard for subordinates, «everyday» norms of managerial material support, etc., were deemed acceptable. The article concludes that a significant portion of soviet enterprise leaders in the 1930s and 1940s adhered to the proposed soviet ideological system of ethical values, striving to uphold and cultivate «socialist» ethical parameters.

Robotic Virtue, Military Ethics Education, and the Need for Proper Storytellers

The introduction of artificial intelligence (AI) challenges much of our traditional understanding of military ethics. What virtues and what sort of ethics education are needed as we move into an ever more AI-driven military reality? In this article we suggest and discuss key virtues that are needed, including the virtue of prudence and the accompanying virtue of good and proper storytelling. We also reflect on the ideal of “explainable AI,” and philosophize about the role of fear in helping us understand what is actually at stake in a military infused with AI-enabled and AI-driven weapons.

EXPLORING MORAL DEVELOPMENT AND ETHICAL UNDERSTANDING IN CHILDREN WITH LEARNING DISABILITIES: A STUDY OF TEACHING ETHICS AND AKHLAQ IN SPECIAL NEEDS EDUCATION

This study investigates the moral development and comprehension of ethics and akhlaq (moral virtues) in children with learning disabilities, particularly focusing on the influence of educational practices and environmental interactions. Utilizing a sample of 15 primary schoolers from Sekolah Kebangsaan Pendidikan Khas Kuantan, aged 8 to 12 years, with disorders like autism spectrum disorder (ASD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and dyslexia, the study employs the Piagetian method, children evaluation, and teacher assessments to explore ethical understanding and behavior. The research integrates principles from Islamic teachings, Western ethics, and developmental psychology, particularly drawing on theories from Piaget, Vygotsky, Gardner, and Bandura. Findings reveal nuanced moral perceptions among the children, with their judgments in given scenarios reflecting a combination of autonomous morality and the age-related cognitive shift in understanding actions based on intentions and consequences. The study also highlights the effectiveness of creative and adaptive teaching methods, including psychomotor activities, in enhancing moral understanding in children with learning disabilities. Teacher evaluations indicate the impact of school curriculum and individualized teaching methods on instilling ethical values. Despite its limited sample size and challenges in maintaining a controlled environment, the study provides valuable insights into the moral development of children with learning difficulties, suggesting the need for tailored educational strategies and community involvement in moral education. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of ethical development in special needs education and underscores the importance of considering cognitive, social, and environmental factors in teaching ethics and akhlaq to children with learning disabilities.

Ethics And Human Morality Communication As Social Responsibility

The environment, especially family, plays a crucial role in shaping a person's communication ethics and morality. Modern life filled with technology and globalization demands awareness of the importance of ethics and morals in communication as the basis of human behavior. As time goes by, there is a visible decline in ethical awareness, which needs to be passed on to future generations. This research proposes three main questions, namely the role and influence of human ethics and morality in communication as people in social responsibility, the challenges faced in the modern era, and the opportunities that can be taken. Research methods involve a deep understanding of ethics and morality, with results and discussions highlighting the role of communication in social responsibility. This research recognizes that ethics and morality play a key role in shaping the character of individuals and society, especially in policy and regulation making. Amid the challenges of moral pluralism and technological risks, this research emphasizes the importance of awareness of ethics and morality in building healthy relationships, creating an inclusive communication environment, and supporting the development of a better society as a whole.

Beyond the good and the right: Rethinking the ethics of academic entrepreneurship from a relational perspective

This paper critically reviews the ethical resonance of the academic entrepreneurship (AE) phenomenon in light of contemporary concerns about ethics and responsibility in public engagements with science, technology and the commercialisation of technological discoveries through the creation of university spin-offs. In this context, we address the question of how we can know when we may consider AE as being ethical. We draw on the works on ethics of the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur ̶ one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century ̶ to provide an answer which encompasses but also goes beyond the association of ethics solely with ‘good’ purposes or ‘right’ norms to value it in each situation by paying special attention to how academic entrepreneurs behave in their relationships with others. We conclude that it is the manner and quality of open, generous, meaningful and appropriate ‘self-regulation’ that defines academic entrepreneurs as ethical individuals. The paper helps to improve the understanding of ethics in this field and may also illuminate academic entrepreneurs and university policymakers seeking to improve qualitative outcomes in university spin-offs.

Educational Thought According to Al-Ghazali and Ibnu Miskawaih

In general, the thoughts of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Miskawaih reflect two different approaches to the synthesis between Greek philosophy and Islamic teachings. Al-Ghazali firmly rejected philosophy, while Ibn Miskawaih tried to integrate elements of philosophy into the framework of Islamic teachings more harmoniously. Both made important contributions to intellectual and ethical understanding in the context of medieval Islam. To provide a deeper understanding of Islamic intellectual and philosophical developments, as well as their contribution to global thought. The research method that will be used is library study, which involves searching for data and information from various sources available in the library. These sources include books, magazines, historical documents, and various other references. In this journal, data sources are divided into two categories, namely primary data (primary) and additional data (secondary). Because this research is a type of comparative study. As a result of this research, the thoughts of Al-Ghazali and Ibn Miskawaih made valuable contributions to the history of Islamic thought, especially in the fields of philosophy, ethics and education. Although both were Muslim scholars who lived during the same period, their approaches to various aspects of thought were different. Al-Ghazali and Ibn Miskawaih, as two key figures in the history of Islamic thought, showed different approaches in responding to issues of religion, philosophy, ethics and education.

The Reformed conceptualisation of morality

This article distinguishes, on the one hand, between the characteristic features of Reformed ethics and Reformed conceptualisations of morality on the other. With this distinction in mind, the article first highlights – by drawing on the work of some contemporary Reformed theologians and their interpretation of some key figures and texts from this tradition – the centrality of categories such as belonging, gratitude, the law and holiness for a Reformed understanding of ethics. This discussion opens a window onto some features related to the conceptualisation (or conceptualisations) of morality in the Reformed tradition.Intradisciplinary and/or interdisciplinary implications: The article emphasises four aspects in this regard, namely that Reformed ethics is grounded in faith and doctrine, that ethics and the practical Christian life belong at the heart of the Reformed faith, that Reformed ethics is an ethics of freedom and that the theological logic of the Reformed tradition implies a deeply historical and contextual vision.

The Indigenous Practice of Braiding Sweetgrass and the Expansion of Ethical Imagination

The tradition of braiding sweetgrass in indigenous cultures is the practice of picking strands of the plant sweetgrass, drying the strands, and intertwining the distinct strands into a braid of different textures. This braid is given to others as a form of goodwill and gratitude. The braids are also used and burned during ceremonies and prayers. Indigenous tradition teaches that the sweet smell and smoke are attractive to good spirits and can carry prayers to the spirit realm. The Greek origin of the botanical nomenclature for sweetgrass, hierochloe, derives from the words sacred (hieros) and grass (chloe). This study utilizes accounts of indigenous sweetgrass practices and myths in anthropological and religious studies fields to evaluate how indigenous approaches serve to expand Western ethical imagination around plants and ecological preservation. Indigenous harvesting practices and uses of sweetgrass are embedded in sacred myths and assumptions about the interconnection between humanity and plants. In this interconnection, plants and humans are envisioned to be in a sacred relationship of symbiotic mutuality. The indigenous understanding of the relationality between plants and humans provides a different, potentially instructive paradigm in contrast to common Western understandings of ecology and ethics around plants.

Etika Bisnis Jual Beli Online Dalam Perspektif Islam: Tinjauan Pustaka

Buying and Online selling is buying and selling activities online by utilizing internet technology. This form of marketing can be done by displaying the seller's product by uploading photos of the product so that communication between the seller and the buyer will be formed, but the buyer cannot see the desired item directly. Even though buying and selling online has various benefits, there are also problems that may arise, especially in uncertainty, namely whether the items in the photos match when they are received and the goods sent will actually be sent. Therefore, it requires a very high application of business ethics from online, namely a study that shows that trust in user acceptance of online buying and selling. So it is important to explore how to build trust in buying and selling online from an Islamic perspective. This research method is qualitative, using the field of literature review ( literature review ).

Rethinking Appropriateness of Actions in Environmental Decisions: Connecting Interest and Identity Negotiation with Plural Valuation

Issues of interest, identity and values intertwine in environmental conflicts, creating challenges that cannot generally be overcome using rationalities grounded in generalised argumentation and abstraction. To address the growing need to engage interests and identities along with plural values in the conservation of biodiversity and ecological systems, we introduce the concept of ‘appropriateness of actions’ and ground it in a relational understanding of environmental ethics. A determination of appropriateness for actions comes from combining outputs from value elicitation with those of interest and identity negotiation in ways that are salient to specific people and their relationships to specific places. Drawing on the Blue Mountain Forest Partnership in the Pacific Northwest, we propose factors of success for supporting appropriate actions: 1) understanding context and identifying key stakeholders; 2) surfacing a diversity of interests and building system-level trust; 3) building empathy for different identities grounded in specific places; 4) eliciting diverse values and seeking to understand their links to worldviews and knowledge systems and; 5) seeking out appropriate actions.
