Ethics and Water Governance
Provedor de dados: Ecology and Society
Autores: Groenfeldt, David; Water-Culture Institute; Adjunct Associate Professor of Anthropology, University of New Mexico; dgroenfeldt@newmexico.com; Schmidt, Jeremy J; University of Western Ontario; jschmi7@uwo.ca.
Ethics and values are important dimensions of water governance. We show how a "values approach" contributes to an understanding of global water governance, and how it complements other perspectives on governance, namely management, institutional capacity, and social-ecological systems. We connect these other approaches to their own value systems and the ethical attitudes they engender. We then offer a way to explicitly incorporate, and where necessary adjudicate, competing value systems through a values-based approach to governance. A case of the Santa Fe River in New Mexico, USA illustrates how value systems are reflected in water policies and how these values affect governance priorities, such as in environmental flows. The values-based approach...

In a continuously expanding, globalizing, and industrializing organic market, organic consumers confront increasing complexity in organic product representation, labeling, and information that challenges how they build trust in organic products. We present a conceptual framework to analyze how consumers might build and practice trust in the organic agrifood chain. We asked specifically about the role of multicriteria assessment tools (MCATs) for trust building. We identified three consumer trust types: uninformed trust in labels (type 1); informed trust in extensive information, control, and certification (type 2); and informed and engaged trust in forms of close farmer&amp;#8211;consumer relationships (type 3). Three concepts of...

Construction of ethics in clinical research: clinical trials registration
Provedor de dados: Journal of Venomous Animals and Toxins Including Tropical Diseases
Autores: Caramori,C. A.
Scientific development that has been achieved through decades finds in clinical research a great possibility of translating findings to human health application. Evidence given by clinical trials allows everyone to have access to the best health services. However, the millionaire world of pharmaceutical industries has stained clinical research with doubt and improbability. Study results (fruits of controlled clinical trials) and scientific publications (selective, manipulated and with wrong conclusions) led to an inappropriate clinical practice, favoring the involved economic aspect. In 2005, the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), supported by the World Association of Medical Editors, started demanding as a requisite for...

Ethnic marketing possibilities and its ethics issues
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sas,   Annamaria; Kozma,   Agota.
This paper focuses on the possibilities of ethnic marketing and its ethic connections. The differences found in our face-to-face interviews and analysing questionnaire data will provide opportunities for Hungarian small enterprises. Targeting ethnic groups for marketing purposes results in ethical difficulties. In Hungary, ethnic marketing is yet an inexperienced concept. Based on these ideas the authors examine the ins and outs of using ethnic marketing in case of Germans in Hungary. Consumers with German ethnic attitude really want German products and brands. At the same time, enterprises have to emphasise the products’ “Germanness” and character in a better/stronger way because this can help for  better consumer  decision making.

The objective of this article is to weave hermeneutic considerations and philosophies concerning ethics, economy and climate, with a specific focus on the relationship between Kant's categorical imperative and the question of improved sustainability. The economic perspective of Georgescu-Roegen has been considered, to this end. Although economy, ethics and biology constitute distinct fields of specialization, this work seeks to show reasons for which this perspective could be seen as an intersection between the three disciplines. The article concludes with the message of Georgescu-Roegan, held in his saying “minimal bioeconomic program” in accordance with the fundamental precepts of the Kantian ethics, in respect to the question of sustainability.

An Exploration of Factors Influencing Ethical and Unethical Behavior in Negotiations
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Perry,   Gregory M.; Duffy,   Patricia A.; Nixon,   Clair J.; Robison,   Lindon J.
The issue of ethics has received little notice in agricultural economics journals.  This study utilized a survey technique to reveal the ethical attitudes among some 500 students at four Land Grant Universities. The data were analyzed using multiple regression techniques. Individuals negotiating with strangers were more willing to use questionable ethical tactics. Women, individuals who were cooperative rather than competitive in negotiation situations, and those who regularly attended religious services wer consistantly less willing to use questionable ethics in negotiation. The size of the individual's hometown and family income had no clear impact on ethical attidutes in regotiations.

Ethical challenges of the globalization process
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Balj,   Branko; Maric,   Radenko.
Whereas roots of globalization are far reaching, it is primarily a modern age phenomenon. Modern business operation and the world economy are characterized by domination of multinational corporations, strong presence of the government in economy and the long-term tendency towards globalization in manufacturing, trading and consumption in the world. Containing both risks and opportunities, globalization is a problem of manifold nature. For some it means regression and falling into “neocolonialism”, the others glorify it. It is logical to ask the following questions: What are the consequences of globalization for governments, nations, companies and individuals? What are the business, social and ethical issues it causes? In one word, is it possible to be...

Ethics and Agriculture: A Teaching Perspective
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Diebel,   Penelope L.
Ethics and agriculture is a complex debate, but one in which agricultural economics students must be prepared to participate.  There are many links between economics and ethic or moral philosophy.  Classroom teaching tends to focus on discussion of issues involving behavioral ethics and disregards the teaching of philosophical ethics and its application in agricultural economics.  A discussion is presented regarding the ethical context we have inherited in agricultural economics.  I offer some broad moral philosophy concepts and an argument for providing students with tools to develop a philosophical ethics perspective of agricultural economics.

Consumers' and Professionals' Responses to Situations Raising Ethical Questions
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Sirieix,   Lucie; Gurviez,   P.; Rohrig,   C.
In this study we have attempted, in collaboration with an agrifood company, to compare and contrast the responses of consumers and professionals to the same set of situations raising ethical questions, in order to highlight the differences and the similarities of viewpoint between these two groups of stakeholders. In order to do this, we constructed multi-stakeholder scenarios comprising a description of the situation and the various possible approaches to managing the situation. We constructed two scenarios, dealing with the origin of the gelatin used in the company's products and the company's product information on livestock feed (GMO). This allowed us to: - study the extent of the professionals' ethical perceptions and the possible compromises between...

Comparative Public Support for Conserving Reptile Species is High: Australian Evidence and its Implications
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.; Wilson,   Clevo; Swarna Nantha,   Hemanath.
This paper investigates factors influencing the public’s support for conservation of tropical reptile species in a focal group drawing on Australian data and an experiment involving a sample of the Australian public. The influences of the likeability of the species, their degree of endangerment, ethical considerations as well as knowledge are examined and found to be important. Likeability is found to be much less important than the existing literature suggests. This is highlighted by comparing the likeability of the focal group of reptiles with that for a group of birds and a group of mammals with differences in willingness to pay for their conservation.

Is the Just Man a Happy Man? An Empirical Study of the Relationship Between Ethics and Subjective Well-Being
Provedor de dados: Research in Agricultural & Applied Economics (AgEcon Searh)
Autores: Harvey,   James S., Jr.
In this paper I consider the question of whether ethical decision-making affects a person’s happiness. Using cross-country data from the World Values Survey, I find that people who agree that it is never justifiable to engage in ethically-questionable behaviors report that they are more satisfied with their life than people who are more tolerant of unethical conduct, even after controlling for other factors known to affect self-reported happiness. The size of the ethics effect is roughly similar to that of a modest increase in income, being married and attending church, while the effect is smaller than that of having poor health or being dissatisfied with one’s personal finances. These results are robust across the four countries studied (the US, Canada,...

Nós e as plantas: ontem e hoje
Provedor de dados: Revista Brasileira de Botânica
Autores: SALATINO,ANTONIO.
Áreas verdes, ruas e praças arborizadas em locais urbanos são características que apenas recentemente adquiriram relevância no mundo ocidental. Parece que os habitantes antigos das cidades não valorizavam uma estreita proximidade com plantas. Neste artigo, sugere-se que isso é uma conseqüência de uma ruptura entre o homem e a natureza, que ocorreu na emergência da tradição judaico-cristã na história da civilização ocidental. A ausência de laços entre natureza e cristianismo é evidente na ausência de árvores, jardins e outros aspectos representativos da natureza em torno de templos cristãos. O cristianismo também representou o fim da mitologia, um processo que conduziu ao desenvolvimento do pensamento racional, favorecendo assim o desenvolvimento da...

The involvement of naturalists: Introduction to the Special Feature "Applying ecology"
Provedor de dados: Revista Chilena de Historia Natural
Autores: CAMUS,PATRICIO A.
This article firstly introduces the Special Feature "Applying Ecology", addressing the use of ecological information for dealing with conservation and environmental problems in Chile. This is part of a series of special features in Revista Chilena de Historia Natural, intended for exploring the contribution of naturalists in making sound decisions in social-environmental planning. However, the low involvement of Chilean biologists has become a factor potentially affecting the quality of environmental decisions and policies, and increasing the chance of unwanted results, which raises some open questions about ethics. In such a context, the second part of the article analyzes the issue of involvement from different perspectives, considering its causes and...

Sustainability or Colonialism? Legislative obstacles to research and development of natural products and patents on traditional knowledge in Brazil
Provedor de dados: Acta Botanica Brasilica
Autores: Pedrollo,Camilo Tomazini; Kinupp,Valdely Ferreira.
ABSTRACTHistorically, developed countries have benefited from the biodiversity and traditional knowledge of developing countries. Since the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) was approved, the world-view regarding access to biological resources has changed. This change marked the introduction of legal agreements regarding access to genetic resources, traditional knowledge and benefit sharing, seeking a fair return for owners and local communities. Unfortunately, as with most national laws, these legal devices complicated collection programs and research initiatives, and diminished the emphasis on the discovery of natural products. There remains a lack of discussion on the establishment of a fair international market value for the access to genetic...

Animal models in biological and biomedical research - experimental and ethical concerns
Provedor de dados: Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências

ABSTRACT Animal models have been used in experimental research to increase human knowledge and contribute to finding solutions to biological and biomedical questions. However, increased concern for the welfare of the animals used, and a growing awareness of the concept of animal rights, has brought a greater focus on the related ethical issues. In this review, we intend to give examples on how animals are used in the health research related to some major health problems in Brazil, as well as to stimulate discussion about the application of ethics in the use of animals in research and education, highlighting the role of National Council for the Control of Animal Experimentation (Conselho Nacional de Controle de Experimentação Animal - CONCEA) in these...

ABSTRACT The application of a humane endpoint (HE) for mice in vaccine trials and further challenging tasks with lethal samples is necessary to reduce or prevent pain and suffering in these animals, and is a refinement of the 3R policy enforced for animal testing in both national and international scenarios. In order to investigate the application of HE in Brazil, researchers from the vaccine sector have answered a questionnaire about their research profile, their usage of HE and their knowledge of its defining criteria, monitoring of animals, staff training, and euthanasia methods employed. The main results revealed that researchers failed to recognise the very concept of HE as well as when to apply it. In addition, the Institutional Animal Care and Use...

The corporate bias and the molding of prescription practices: the case of hypertension
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
Autores: Fuchs,F.D.
Drug management of hypertension has been a noticeable example of the influence of the pharmaceutical industry on prescription practices. The worldwide leading brands of blood pressure-lowering agents are angiotensin receptor-blocking agents, although they are considered to be simply substitutes of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors. Commercial strategies have been based on the results of clinical trials sponsored by drug companies. Most of them presented distortions in their planning, presentation or interpretation that favored the drugs from the sponsor, i.e., corporate bias. Atenolol, an ineffective blood pressure agent in elderly individuals, was the comparator drug in several trials. In a re-analysis of the INSIGHT trial, deaths appeared to...

Laboratory animal: biological reagent or living being?
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
Autores: Cardoso,C.V.P.; Almeida,A.E.C.C. de.
The duties of humans toward non-human animals and their rights in society have been debated for a long time. However, a discussion on the terminology used for the identification of laboratory animals is usually not considered, although the employment of inadequate terminology may generate disastrous consequences for the animals before, during, and after the experiment. This study intends to defend the use of appropriate terminology, call attention to an unethical attitude of certain professionals when dealing with experimental animals, and also propose operational mechanisms, which allow for those distortions to be corrected.

Practices and ethical concerns regarding preimplantation diagnosis. Who regulates preimplantation genetic diagnosis in Brazil?
Provedor de dados: Brazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research
Autores: Damian,B.B.; Bonetti,T.C.S.; Horovitz,D.D.G.
Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) was originally developed to diagnose embryo-related genetic abnormalities for couples who present a high risk of a specific inherited disorder. Because this technology involves embryo selection, the medical, bioethical, and legal implications of the technique have been debated, particularly when it is used to select features that are not related to serious diseases. Although several initiatives have attempted to achieve regulatory harmonization, the diversity of healthcare services available and the presence of cultural differences have hampered attempts to achieve this goal. Thus, in different countries, the provision of PGD and regulatory frameworks reflect the perceptions of scientific groups, legislators, and...
