Genetically Engineered Foods and Moral Absolutism: A Representative Study from GermanyScience and Engineering Ethics - Tập 29 - Trang 1-17 - 2023
Johanna Jauernig, Matthias Uhl, Gabi Waldhof
There is an ongoing debate about genetic engineering (GE) in food production. Supporters argue that it makes crops more resilient to stresses, such as drought or pests, and should be considered by researchers as a technology to address issues of global food security, whereas opponents put forward that GE crops serve only the economic interests of transnational agrifood-firms and have not yet deliv...... hiện toàn bộ
Conflicts of interest in Germany: A legal perspectiveScience and Engineering Ethics - Tập 8 - Trang 327-336 - 2002
Christina Lux
In spite of recent efforts to promote cooperation between universities and industry, Germany still lacks a sufficient legal framework for regulating potential conflicts of interest resulting from university-industry cooperation. Prospective regulation of conflicts of interest has to take into account specific constraints imposed by the German constitution. It has to follow stringent procedural and...... hiện toàn bộ
“An Ethics of Commitment for Engineers”Science and Engineering Ethics - Tập 28 - Trang 1-17 - 2022
Aaron Pratt Shepherd
This paper follows a trend in engineering ethics away from universal moral theories towards more contingent/contextual approaches such as pragmatist and care ethics. These methodological considerations are treated in the context of the Volkswagen Diesel Emissions scandal as a case study in the “paradox of loyalty,” (i.e. that company loyalty can be both virtuous and vicious). Building upon a combi...... hiện toàn bộ

Research misconduct (RM) remains an important problem in health research despite decades of local, national, regional, and international efforts to eliminate it. The ultimate goal of every health research project, irrespective of setting, is to produce trustworthy findings to address local as well as global health issues. To be able to lead or participate meaningfully in international research col...... hiện toàn bộ
Towards a Systematic Screening Tool for Quality Assurance and Semiautomatic Fraud Detection for Images in the Life SciencesScience and Engineering Ethics - Tập 23 - Trang 1113-1128 - 2016
Lars Koppers, Holger Wormer, Katja Ickstadt
The quality and authenticity of images is essential for data presentation, especially in the life sciences. Questionable images may often be a first indicator for questionable results, too. Therefore, a tool that uses mathematical methods to detect suspicious images in large image archives can be a helpful instrument to improve quality assurance in publications. As a first step towards a systemati...... hiện toàn bộ

The mentor and the trainee in academic clinical medicineScience and Engineering Ethics - Tập 12 - Trang 95-102 - 2006
Tadeusz S. Tołłoczko
Medicine is a scientific discipline, but it is sometimes difficult to separate what is scientific and what is a clinical, practical activity. Man is the object, but he is always the subject of medical research and therefore these two elements become closely bound together by a thread of moral interdependencies. Every mentor of a young academic and all institutions dealing with the teaching of and ...... hiện toàn bộ
