Current universities are equipped with communication, marketing and PR departments. They are also furnished with research integrity officers and formalities to fight academic misconduct. In Europe half a century ago, such university features were unheard-of. They evolved at roughly the same time, but are they interrelated and, if so, how? Why does the otherwise frank, but strangely isolated research integrity discourse hardly ever enquire critically into institutional PR efforts? In addition, is there a risk that universities—although liberal institutions—might develop illiberal traits and, to further their reputation as efficient business corporations, distance themselves from classic academic virtues? These are salient questions to anybody concerned with research integrity and the university as an institution, and form the focus of this book. Composed of three interconnected essays and considering historical developments, it will inspire reflection and debate on the future of European universities as liberal, cultural institutions.
Respect for patient autonomy and data privacy are generally accepted as foundational western bioethical values. Nonetheless, as our society embraces expanding forms of personal and health monitoring, particularly in the context of an aging population and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, questions abound about how artificial intelligence (AI) may change the way we define or understand what it means to live a free and healthy life. Who should have access to our health and recreational data and for what purpose? How can we find a balance between users' physical safety and their autonomy? Should we allow individuals to forgo continuous health monitoring, even if such monitoring may...
"Digital therapeutics (DTx) is a dynamic, emerging subcategory within the larger supercategory field of 'digital health' or 'digital medicine'. As defined by the nonprofit trade group, Digital Therapeutics Alliance, "DTx deliver clinical-grade therapeutic interventions to patients [that] may be used independently or in tandem with in-person or remote clinician-delivered therapy to optimize patient outcomes." In this new book, three expert editors have enlisted the support of contributors to explain what DTx represents (and how it differs from other digital health solutions), how DTX solutions can help individuals and their healthcare providers meet their health goals, and how DTx tools can be conceptualized, created, and brought to market"--
While theoretical statistics relies primarily on mathematics and hypothetical situations, statistical practice is a translation of a question formulated by a researcher into a series of variables linked by a statistical tool. As with written material, there are almost always differences between the meaning of the original text and translated text.
A new, hopeful pathway to understanding children’s trauma and providing effective interventions to build healthier communities Each year at least a billion children around the world are victims of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) that range from physical abuse to racial discrimination to neglect and food deprivation. The brain plasticity of our most vulnerable makes the adverse effects of trauma only that much more damaging to mental and physical development. Those dealt a hand of ACEs are more likely to drop out of school, have a shorter life, abuse substances, and suffer from myriad mental health and behavioral issues. The crucial question is: How do we intervene to offer these child...

“과장은 했지만 허위는 아니다?” 학문 윤리와 연구 윤리에 관한 적나라한 고발과 반성 유명인들의 허위 경력 기재나 논문 표절은 심심하면 사회적 이슈가 되는 드물지 않은 문제다. 그만큼 많은 사람들에게 학문에 대한 도덕불감증이 심각한 현실이다. 영국의 심리학자 스튜어트 리치는 신간 《사이언스 픽션》에서 전 세계적으로 학계 내부에 만연한 기준 미달의 연구와 불량 논문에 대한 실태를 파악하고 낱낱이 내부고발한다. 학자들의 “그릇된 ‘탐구욕’이 어떻게 ‘탐욕’이 되는가?”를 추적하는 이 책은 대학생, 대학원생, 교수 등 연구를 하거나 논문을 쓰는 사람이라면 누구나 읽어야 할 필독서다.
