Aretaic considerations of humor

ABSTRACT A virtue often neglected in character education is humor. Sometimes it is deprioritized to focus on virtues deemed more important. Occasionally, it is forgotten altogether. Other times, humor’s formation is regarded as incidental to the process of character formation, with the expectation that, as learners proceed through moral education, they are likely to come away decently well-positioned in their humor, too. This article explores how humor ought to be regarded in character education. It assesses humor’s status as a virtue, its moral and civic value, and potential liabilities. It defends the claim that, without a curricular emphasis on humor, students do not cease to laugh but laugh at the wrong things, and this is an obstacle to the overall success of character education. This article provides a preliminary account of how to educate humor, as part of a general sequence of character development.

Contracts rethought and redesigned: A new era with AI

This article discusses the potential of generative artificial intelligence (AI) to revolutionize contract thinking and design. Experience and research tell us that most contracts focus on the wrong things—failure rather than success—and are presented in a way that is inaccessible to many people. Using the principles of proactive contracting and contract design, AI-powered writing assistants such as ChatGPT can help change the contracting paradigm by facilitating the transition from drafting to design and from reaction to proactive action. They can help transform the content, language, structure, and presentation of contracts, simplifying the tedious parts and increasing stakeholder empowerment and choice. This exploratory article presents examples of using AI tools to generate ideas and clauses for commercial contracts and to support contract redesign. This facilitates the creation of easy-to-read explanations, headings, and layered layouts that make contracts more effective, transparent, and sustainable, leading to better business and societal outcomes.

O-182 To err is human, also for those working in ART

Abstract Medically assisted reproduction (MAR) centers combine clinical and technical expertise with a very high complexity. Over the years, MAR centers have undergone increased intricacy due to incorporating laboratory techniques, such as cryopreservation of oocytes and embryos and micromanipulation, embryo culture, and pre-implantation genetic testing. Not only the technicality of the MAR laboratory profession is challenging, but the complexity of each phase has increased over the years; the patient population undergoing treatment has expanded, where not only the intended parents’ gametes are involved but also the utilization of gametes from egg and sperm donors, as well as including a gestational carrier receiving the embryo. These complexities have led to the implementation of rigorous control measures to mitigate the risk of errors. Nevertheless, a zero-risk fertility clinic is an illusion, given the many necessary interventions and manipulations in each treatment cycle. Errors in fertility practice involving gametes or embryos can be devastating to patients and clinical personnel, often raising psychological, legal, ethical, economic, and practical concerns. The most critical cases of risk of harm in MAR procedures involve misidentifying a patient, gamete, or embryo, called ‘mix-up,’ which could lead to dramatic consequences. Although the frequency is low, mix-up cases have been described worldwide. Other adverse events derive from preventable human actions, e.g., overlooking an embryo when carrying out assessments, dropping a dish, incorrect labeling, improper pipetting technique, unusually poor thawing, and inadvertent discard of the sample. Human error cannot be eradicated. In the old view, human error was perceived as the root cause of problems, with individuals being viewed as variables requiring control. Conversely, contemporary perspectives consider human error a symptom of deeper systemic issues. As suggested by the Institute of Medicine in 2000, which published the report “To Err Is Human,” the core of the problem lies not with the fallibility of healthcare personnel but the flawed systems within which they operate. Preventing errors is possible by incorporating safety into system processes and hospital structures. Latent errors are errors that arise due to system inefficiencies. In the context of MAR, these latent conditions can, amongst others, be work-related pressure, high workload, lack of communication between team members, distraction, a suboptimal setup of the lab, a lack of clarity in the procedures, and insufficient time for thorough communication. In the famous Reason’s Swiss cheese theory of error, these latent conditions are weaknesses (or gaps/ holes) in the system’s defense layers. When all the holes from each layer (i.e., policy, planning, design, communication) align, they will permit an error to cause harm. Understanding the theory of human errors and building safety into various layers of care processes in MAR are effective ways of reducing errors rather than blaming sentinel individuals. Errors within MAR centers can be prevented by designing the healthcare system at all levels to make it safer, making it hard for people to do the wrong thing and easy for people to do the right thing.

“Angry at the Wrong Thing:” Queering Ketamine Assisted Psychotherapy for Clients Experiencing Body Image and Eating Distress

ABSTRACT Unlike classic serotonergic psychedelics, whose psychoactive shifts are recognized as having therapeutic value, ketamine’s perceptual effects are often overshadowed by its rapid antidepressant properties. However, within a ketamine assisted psychotherapeutic (KAP) context, ketamine’s distinct anxiolytic and dissociative features can cocreate a safe setting for client-directed psycho-spiritual exploration, including around body image and feeding disturbances. Eating disorders affect approximately 9% of Americans, and present a significant concern for LGBTQ2SIA+ community. This paper outlines a KAP framework, for further study, that is foundationally queer and grounded in postcolonial and intersectional feminist theories. This paper introduces societal body dysphoria, as a tool for clinicians to recontextualize how unrealistic ideals, identified as a societal distortion rooted in white supremacy, are individually internalized and collectively enforced through self-policing, with the belief that adherence will yield access to power and resources. Within this framework, a case report presents an example of how KAP can facilitate the deconstruction of societal constructs and alleviate distress.

Unpacking complexity in addressing the contribution of trauma to women's ill health: a qualitative study of perspectives from general practice.

There is an intricate relationship between the mind and the body in experiences of health and wellbeing. This can result in complexity of both symptom presentation and experience. Although the contribution of life trauma to illness experience is well described, this is not always fully recognised or addressed in healthcare encounters. Negotiating effective and acceptable trauma-informed conversations can be difficult for clinicians and patients. To explore the experience of primary care practitioners caring for women through a trauma-informed care lens. Qualitative study in the general practice setting of England, with reflections from representatives of a group with lived experience of trauma. This was a secondary thematic analysis of 46 qualitative interviews conducted online/by telephone to explore primary care practitioners' experiences of supporting women's health needs in general practice, alongside consultation with representatives of a lived-experience group to contextualise the findings. Four themes were constructed: 'you prioritise physical symptoms because you don't want to miss something'; you do not want to alienate people by saying the wrong thing; the system needs to support trauma-informed care; and delivering trauma-informed care takes work that can have an impact on practitioners. Primary care practitioners are aware of the difficulties in discussing the interface between trauma and illness with patients, and request support and guidance in how to negotiate this supportively. Lack of support for practitioners moves the focus of trauma-informed care from a whole-systems approach towards individual clinician-patient interactions.

THE FUNCTION OF ISLAMIC RELIGIOUS EDUCATION IN RENEWING CHACATER BUILDING

This study aims to explore how Islamic religious education influences the formation of individual character with high moral values. Furthermore, character education also aims to enhance the quality of educational outcomes by paying specific attention to develop personalities in line with the education graduate competency standards. Additionally, the goal of character education is to refine ethical intelligence and strengthen moral aspects by cultivating a better understanding of right and wrong things. In conducting this study, the methodology employed was systematic literature review involving gathering information from various literary sources related to the discussed topic. Statistical data utilized in this research was derived from books, research journals, and supporting articles. The research findings indicated that the role of Islamic religious education in enhancing character involved regulating and supervising the younger generation by instilling religious values, faith, piety, knowledge, and good conduct in order to ensure that despite the currents of globalization, the younger generation remains capable of upholding Islamic traditions and applying the positive values derived from the religion.

Clueless loneliness: Loneliness beyond frustrated pro‐attitudes

AbstractAccording to Tom Roberts and Joel Krueger's frustrated pro‐attitude account of loneliness, loneliness is primarily characterized as an affective state in which individuals perceive certain social goods as unattainable. The frustration of pro‐attitudes, or the desire for social connections, plays a significant role in understanding the nature of loneliness. However, in this article, I argue that the frustrated pro‐attitude account falls short in explaining a specific type of loneliness known as clueless loneliness, wherein a person feels lonely without experiencing a salient frustration of pro‐attitude. By analyzing five cases of clueless loneliness—the case of desiring the wrong thing, the case of failing to form concrete desires, the case of having an illusion of desire fulfillment, the case of holding self‐deceptive beliefs about need fulfillment, and the case of lacking a desire for social goods—I propose a revised account that acknowledges the complexity of loneliness and the potential disconnect between perceived social goods and the actual fulfillment of one's need for connection. My objective in this article is to demonstrate that this revised understanding of loneliness provides a more comprehensive framework for examining the nature of loneliness and its impact on different groups of people within society.

Characteristics of Crime Convenience: The Case of Corporate Offenders

ABSTRACT This article presents a review of the research addressing the seriousness of corporate crime and the convenience for corporate offenders. Insights from this review are important as detection and prevention of corporate crime is dependent on addressing convenience issues for offenders. The perspective in this article suggests that convenience is a matter of avoiding strain and pain, saving time and efforts, overcoming barriers where the fences are at their lowest to gain from business possibilities and to avoid business threats such as bankruptcy. The opportunity for deviance among corporate offenders is typically based on their high social status and their legitimate access to resources to do both the right things and the wrong things. The opportunity structure to conceal deviance consists of institutional deterioration, lack of oversight and guardianship, and sometimes also criminal market forces. This is a scoping review article to identify convenience characteristics of corporate offenses and corporate offenders. Insights

Examining Teacher Concerns and Anxiety on the Implementation of a Universal Body Image Program.

In the past 30 years, there have been numerous positive body image and eating disorder prevention programs targeting youth developed for school-based settings. Frequently, teachers are used as interventionists to increase dissemination, decrease costs relative to researchers, and increase scalability. However, little is known about teacher concerns and barriers that may hinder successful uptake and implementation. The current study recruited a total of 269 teachers who consented to implement a universal body image and appearance-related bullying and teasing prevention program in their classrooms as part of a randomized controlled trial. Teachers expressed some worry that they may say the wrong thing, and concern about feeling uncomfortable teaching the program due to their own body dissatisfaction. Teacher's ethnicity, gender, years teaching, dieting behaviors and other weight control behaviors, and self-efficacy were not associated with concerns related to teaching the curriculum. Teachers with lower body esteem reported higher concerns and anxiety related to teaching a body image curriculum. In free response items, teachers worried about handling student comments that were beyond the scope of the curriculum. Teacher self-efficacy was the only variable associated with the number of program sessions implemented. Findings suggest avenues to increase implementation.

Source-credibility information and social norms improve truth discernment and reduce engagement with misinformation online

Misinformation on social media is a pervasive challenge. In this study (N = 415) a social-media simulation was used to test two potential interventions for countering misinformation: a credibility badge and a social norm. The credibility badge was implemented by associating accounts, including participants’, with a credibility score. Participants’ credibility score was dynamically updated depending on their engagement with true and false posts. To implement the social-norm intervention, participants were provided with both a descriptive norm (i.e., most people do not share misinformation) and an injunctive norm (i.e., sharing misinformation is the wrong thing to do). Both interventions were effective. The social-norm intervention led to reduced belief in false claims and improved discrimination between true and false claims. It also had some positive impact on social-media engagement, although some effects were not robust to alternative analysis specifications. The presence of credibility badges led to greater belief in true claims, lower belief in false claims, and improved discrimination. The credibility-badge intervention also had robust positive impacts on social-media engagement, leading to increased flagging and decreased liking and sharing of false posts. Cumulatively, the results suggest that both interventions have potential to combat misinformation and improve the social-media information landscape.

Comparative Analysis of the Concept of Death in Turkish and Japanese Proverbs

Death constitutes the last part of the life cycle. Although both being born and living are welcomed with joy by human beings, death brings pain and eternal unhappiness. This paper focuses on revealing how the concept of death, which contains deep sadness, is handled in Turkish and Japanese proverbs. Proverbs are stereotypes passed from one generation to another and are very important in reflecting the lifestyles and ways of thinking of the societies to which they belong. Proverbs are essential in transferring cultural knowledge because our ancestors created them with the accumulation and experience of many years. In this study, comparative analysis method is employed. Total of 127 proverbs, including 80 Turkish proverbs and 47 Japanese proverbs, are examined. They are grouped into death has causes, death as an unknown end, death has time to occur, grief for death, death is not welcomed, death occurs one time, death as a bad situation, understanding the value of things and people after death, death and animal, after death there is no meaning, comparing the wrong things with death, death relates to funerals and religious rituals, death is a relief and escape, and contradicting proverbs. As a conclusion, although Turkish and Japanese people have different cultural backgrounds, it is seen in proverbs that they have similar cultural values to death. All categories as mentioned above have similarities except the grief for death seen in Turkish proverbs but not in Japanese. The religious rituals that relate to death differ as both (Turks and Japanese) have different religions. Although there are expressions about Islam in Turkish proverbs, expressions about Buddhism are seen in Japanese proverbs.

Fooled by Diversity? When Diversity Initiatives Exacerbate Rather Than Mitigate Bias and Inequality

To advance the discussion on Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives, we analyze the management literature and examples of advocacy practices inspired by the three DEI logics of moral justice, business case, and power activism. By emerging litigation, self-interest and coercion as the mechanisms driving change within these logics, we show how the concept of diversity is approached differently in the three logics. Based on this discussion we explain why diversity has taken precedence over equity and inclusion in both research and practice. We further show how the tensions between DEI logics inform diversity initiatives and exacerbate rather than mitigate bias and inequality. To rejuvenate scholarly and managerial debates around DEI initiatives and address managerial biases to focus on the wrong things, we discuss what could be learned from the rationales of such initiatives, including how one can be fooled into focusing on diversity at the expense of equity and inclusion.

What Matters is the Deployment, Not the Possession of Gifts: A Tribute to Marcia Gentry

ABSTRACT The late Marcia Gentry sought equity in the identification and instruction of the gifted. This was a noble and proper goal: Inequity has been a problem in the field of giftedness since the very beginning. A related challenge that feeds into the inequity problem is that educators often look for the wrong thing. What matters is not merely how gifted a person is, or how many gifts they possess, but rather what they do with those gifts. Many of the problems in today’s world derive from people who are gifted and then use their gifts for selfish and even narcissistic ends. A model is needed that takes into account one’s deployment of gifts, not just one’s possession of them.

Editorial: Wokeness in Education

Over the last few decades, students in secondary and higher education have become increasingly vocal about expressions of racism, sexism, heteronormativity, colonialism and other mentalities tied to inequalities in power. These forms of concern with social injustice, especially in its creeping, veiled or hidden forms, are often summarized under the heading of ‘wokeness’. Lately, the ‘woke movement’ has been faced with fierce critique and is often casted in the role of a language police, leading others, for fear of saying the wrong things or using the wrong words, to keep their mouths shut. But what if these tensions are not an expression of the closure of an argument, but rather a sign that something is beginning to open up? Do we need to move/work through these tensions in order to foster free debate in educational settings?

ISLAMIC LAW REVIEW OF THE CONTROVERSY AND IMPACT OF LGBT FOR FAMILY DEVELOPMENT IN INDONESIA

This paper examines the controversy of LGBT on family development in Indonesia. LGBT is a group of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender. Recently it was hotly discussed because the British Embassywhich raised the rainbow flag as a symbol of LGBT at its headquarters in Jakarta. It attracted public attention. This paper is library research. The results of this research analysis show that behavior that deviates from LGBT violates rules and human nature and has a negative impact on the development of families and the nation in general. The negative impact are in the form of health, education, security and social. Thus if it is left too long then this wrong thing will become a natural thing. In fact, from the point of view of religious and humanitarian law. This contradicts both. Even though these LGBT perpetrators argue based on human right principles, all this cannot prove the truth of their deviant behavior because human rights in Indonesia must be in harmony with the philosophy of the state based on Pancasila in which Pancasila plates Believe in One Almighty God as the main foundation for trenght of a notion. The majority of this notion adheres to Islamic Law and adheres to Pancasila.

Konvergensi IFRS terhadap Manajemen Laba (Studi Konseptual)

Accounting standards are guidelines used in accounting practice. The existence of profit management cases carried out by several large companies in the United States such as Enron, WorldCom, and so on triggered the creation of a new accounting standard that is applied globally, namely IFRS. IFRS was developed by the IASB with the aim that this international standard can minimize profit management practices in addition to improving the quality of financial statements. Profit management practices are one of the topics that are often debated because this practice can reduce the credibility of financial statements and can add bias in financial statements. However, when viewed from the point of view of management who wants to display the company's performance and condition remains good, it is also not a wrong thing. This profit management practice will actually not be negative if in managing the profits of a company using accounting methods that are allowed by generally accepted Financial Accounting Standards. This article is designed to describe the convergence of IFRS in Indonesia and its impact on profit management.

What is rational belief?

AbstractA theory of rational belief should get the cases right. It should also reach its verdicts using the right theoretical assumptions. Leading theories seem to predict the wrong things. With only one exception, they don't accommodate principles that we should use to explain these verdicts. We offer a theory of rational belief that combines an attractive picture of epistemic desirability with plausible principles connecting desirability to rationality.
