Title: Ethics in practice: Children who have difficulties interacting and their participation in day-care centres.Abstract: In recent years there has been a trend promoting "children’s right to participation". The point of departure for the article is qualitative data material collected from three day-care centres in Norway. The main objective has been to illuminate the choices the staff have and the dilemmas they face in their day-to-day practice when it comes to children who have interaction difficulties and their opportunities to participate. Findings: The practice is action-oriented. Actions, dilemmas and discretionary assessments are related to consequential- and deontological-ethics reasons.

Internet researchers increasingly have at their disposal of an array of automated software agents, or "bots," which can rapidly and efficiently retrieve a variety of economic and technical data from publicly accessible web sites. While these automated tools greatly facilitate the retrieval and analysis of data for academic research, they may pose ethical problems for Internet researchers. Specifically, automated software bots place some load on servers being accessed, possibly in contradiction to the expected use of such servers, and possibly in violation of the legal prerogatives of web site owners. Determining how and when to access such web sites, and whether to seek the consent of web site owners for retrieval of publicly accessible data presents an apparent conflict between general principles of information policy and the emerging legal precedent regarding trespass to computers. This conflict may be characterized as pitting utilitarian considerations against deontological considerations in a fashion reminiscent of previous debates over informed consent in on-line research. In this paper, we examine both utilitarian and deontological characterizations of the ethical obligations of researchers employing automated data retrieval bots, and argue that the contrasts between the two approaches do not necessarily result in conflict. Instead, we argue that the tension within the relevant practices indicates the need for a "meta-choice" between utilitarian and deontological considerations. We further suggest certain factors that may differentiate such a "metaethical" choice in the context of automated data retrieval from the "meta-ethical" choice presented in previously identified contexts of human subjects research or of web browser technology design. In the end, we argue that by analyzing the ethical issues in terms of the contrast between utilitarian and deontological ethics, it is possible to resolve some of the ethical dilemmas regarding automated data retrieval in fruitful and cogent ways.

Desde la perspectiva del “enfoque de derechos humanos” el trabajo aborda la distinción entre la exigibilidad judicial del derecho a la salud, y otras instancias y mecanismos administrativos de exigibilidad, que permiten monitorear ciertos aspectos del sistema de salud. Expone algunas ventajas y desventajas de ambas modalidades, concentrándose en la exigibilidad -no judicial- de este derecho en la provincia de Córdoba. Releva los principales organismos provinciales, competentes para fiscalizar actividades vinculadas con el derecho a la salud, así como la información disponible sobre los reclamos y denunciasformulados ante ellos. Particularmente se detiene en la Dirección de Defensa al Consumidor y Lealtad Comercial, el Registro de Unidades de Gestión de Prestaciones de Salud (R.U.GE.PRE.SA.) y el Consejo de Evaluación Ética de la Investigación en Salud (CoEIS) -en la esfera de la Administración Pública centralizada-, y -fuera del Poder Ejecutivo- en el Defensor del Pueblo de la Provincia.   From a human rights approach, this paper analyzes the distinction between judicial enforceability of the right to health and other enforcement mechanisms which allow monitoring of certain elements of local healthcare systems. The paper describes advantages and disadvantages of all these mechanisms,and it focuses on nonjudicial enforcement of the right to health in the province of Córdoba. The main provincial healthcare supervision offices are examined, as well as the information available on complaints filed before them. In particular, the paper centers on the Consumer Protection Office, the Registry of Healthcare Provision Units (Spanish acronym: RUGEPRESA) and the Council for Ethics Assessment in Health Research (Spanish acronym: CoEIS) -all of them part of the decentralized Provincial Administration- and the Ombudsman Office –external to the local Executive Power.

This chapter aims to identify and analyse the ethical problems of security, particularly cyber and digital threats. The concepts of security and safety are defined based on existing literature. The chapter addresses the key results and research gaps in the field (i.e., security issues in different areas) and future challenges, both theoretical and empirical. Moreover, the discussion is linked to an analysis of the relationship between utilitarian ethics and deontological ethics, which brings a new perspective to the debate on security ethics in general and cybersecurity. Finally, comprehensive security and absolute safety ideas are discussed, which sheds new light on the complexity of security concerns.

[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] Technology ethics seeks to identify the ways in which individuals and organizations might develop and sustain optimal relationships with the various technologies in their personal and professional lives. Secondary public schools have considered technology primarily through only a few very important but rudimentary lenses. The problem of practice was grounded in the ability and willingness of public schools to respond to the changing technological landscape in a way that was timely and meaningful. This study followed an exploratory sequential design and was two pronged: first, it investigated the ways public high schools supported technology ethics through their technology policies at the district and building levels; second, it developed a technology ethics assessment tool.
