- Social Representations of Political Polarization through Traditional Media: A Study of the Brazilian Case between 2015 and 2019.Andréia Isabel Giacomozzi,Juliana Gomes Fiorott,Raquel Bertoldo &AlbertaContarello -2023 -Human Affairs 33 (1):67-81.Brazil has recently been experiencing a phenomenon of political polarization: a conflict involving political views and social identities. Considering the extent to which this socially constructed conflict has been partially fueled by the media, we propose to use the Social Representations Theory. The present study explores how discourses in the mainstream media construct the political polarization taking place in Brazil. The topics covered in 82 texts published between January 2015 and August 2019 in Brazilian mainstream press, Folha da S. Paulo (...) and Estado de S. Paulo, were examined using content analysis and Reinert’s method with IRaMuTeQ software. A descending hierarchical analysis divided the corpus into four classes, and content analysis showed that both daily newspapers strongly criticized the political polarization underway, which was anchored to and objectified through episodes of violence, and they supported the valorization of democracy.

- Risk Disclosure and the Recruitment of Oocyte Donors: Are Advertisers Telling the Full Story?Hillary B.Alberta,Roberta M. Berry &Aaron D. Levine -2014 -Journal of Law, Medicine and Ethics 42 (2):232-243.In vitro fertilization using donated oocytes has proven to be an effective treatment option for many prospective parents struggling with infertility, and the usage of donated oocytes in assisted reproduction has increased markedly since the technique was first successfully used in 1984. Data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on the use of assisted reproductive technologies in the United States indicate that approximately 12% of all ART cycles in the country now use donated oocytes. The increased use (...) of oocyte donation in the United States has prompted discussion regarding risks associated with the process and how best to ensure the safety of oocyte donors.Physical risks associated with oocyte donation include bleeding, infection, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome and a potential, although unconfirmed, increased risk of developing various forms of cancer, such as uterine, colon, breast, ovarian, and endometrial cancers.

- Psychological and Physiological Biomarkers of Neuromuscular Fatigue after Two Bouts of Sprint Interval Exercise.Albertas Skurvydas,Vaidas Verbickas,Nerijus Eimantas,Neringa Baranauskiene,Margarita Cernych,Erika Skrodeniene,Laura Daniuseviciute &Marius Brazaitis -2017 -Frontiers in Psychology 8:294343.The main aim of our study was to determinate whether a repeated bout (RB) (vs. first bout [FB]) of sprint interval cycling exercise (SIE) is sufficient to mitigate SIE-induced psychological and physiological biomarker kinetics within 48 h after the exercise. Ten physically active men (age, 22.6 ± 5.2 years; VO2max, 44.3 ± 5.7 ml/kg/min) performed the FB of sprint interval cycling exercise (12 repeats of 5 s each) on one day and the RB 2 weeks later. The following parameters were (...) measured: motor performance (voluntary, electrically induced and isokinetic skeletal muscle contraction torque, and central activation ratio [CAR]); stress markers (BDNF, cortisol, norepinephrine, and epinephrine); inflammatory markers (IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-); metabolic markers (glucose and lactate); muscle and rectal temperature; cycling power output; and psychological perceptions. The average cycling power output and neuromuscular fatigue after exercise did not differ between the FB and RB. There were significant decreases in cortisol and BDNF concentration at 12 h (P< 0.05) and 24 h (P< 0.001) after the FB, respectively. The decrease in cortisol concentration observed 12 h after exercise was significantly greater after the RB (P< 0.05) than after the FB. The immune-metabolic response to the RB (vs. FB) SIE was suppressed and accompanied by lower psychological exertion. Most of the changes in psychological and physiological biomarkers in the FB and RB were closely related to the response kinetics of changes in BDNF concentration. (shrink)
- Problematic Aspects of the Beginning and end of Human Life in the Context of Homicide (article in Lithuanian).Albertas Milinis,Agnė Baranskaitė &Armanas Abramavičius -2011 -Jurisprudencija: Mokslo darbu žurnalas 18 (3):1123-1143.Both in criminal law science and in the judicial practice there are a lot of discussions as to what should be considered as the beginning and end of human life. Birth and death are not instantaneous acts, but rather processes made up of time-spans that can be construed as evidence of the beginning or end of a human life. From a biological point of view the human life is a constant, continuous metabolic process after cessation of which the human life (...) also ceases. These circumstances very much aggravate the definition of criteria of the moments of beginning and end of human life. There are disagreements in the criminal law science with respect to from which moment the human life is to be protected by the criminal law. Herewith this presupposes also the other problematic question—what is to be considered a “living human” as a homicide subject (a victim). Complication of the said question is also determined by the fact that it is related not only to legal but also to medical, religious, and moral aspects. This article exactly analyses certain aspects of the beginning and end of human life in the context of the homicide composition attributes. (shrink)
- Religious feminists and the intersectional feminist movements: Insights from a case study.Alberta Giorgi -2021 -European Journal of Women's Studies 28 (2):244-259.Scholars describe Global North feminisms as mostly ‘secular’ and often opposing religion. Contemporary feminist intersectional movements seem to offer different approaches able to overcome distances and articulate the role of religion in feminist emancipatory practice. This contribution explores the complex role of religion in intersectional feminist movements, drawing on the experiences of religious-feminist and secular-feminist women in Italy. The results highlight that religious women are increasingly part of feminist intersectional movements. Nonetheless, religious inequalities are often overlooked, and religion triggers ambivalent (...) reactions, often resulting in a process of othering minority women. (shrink)No categories

- Coping With Adolescents Affected by Anorexia Nervosa: The Role of Parental Personality Traits.Alessio Maria Monteleone,Alberta Mereu,Giammarco Cascino,Maria Chiara Castiglioni,Chiara Marchetto,Melissa Grasso,Maria Pontillo,Tiziana Pisano,Stefano Vicari &Valeria Zanna -2021 -Frontiers in Psychology 12.IntroductionAnorexia nervosa promotes psychological distress in caregivers who adopt different coping strategies. Dysfunctional caregiving styles exacerbate further distress in the patient promoting the maintenance of the illness. We aimed to assess the possible contribution of personality traits of caregivers to the adoption of different coping strategies to deal with the affected relative.MethodsAbout 87 adolescents with AN were recruited. Their parents completed the Family Coping Questionnaire for Eating Disorders and the Temperament and Character Inventory-Revised. Differences between mothers and fathers were assessed (...) through the independent sample t-test. Multivariate regression analyses were run to assess if personality traits, the occurrence of psychiatry conditions in the parents, the marital status, and the duration of the illness predicted parental coping strategies.ResultsThe group of mothers showed higher levels of avoidance and seeking for information coping strategies than the sample of fathers. Lower illness duration predicted higher collusion with the illness in both parents. Harm avoidance, cooperativeness, and self-directedness positively predicted parental coercion, collusion, and seeking for information strategies with some differences between mothers and fathers.DiscussionIllness duration and personality traits of parents affect the type of parental coping strategies developed to face AN in adolescents. These variables should be considered in the assessment of families of adolescents with AN and may be addressed to promote more fine-tuned clinical interventions for caregivers. (shrink)
- Scientific discovery: Between incommensurability of paradigms and historical continuity. [REVIEW]Alberta Rebaglia -1999 -Foundations of Science 4 (3):337-355.Discoveries in physics imply two elements. The firstone is the belief that formal tools, already foundedin the framework of existing mathematical theories,may offer the solution to a puzzling anomaly. Thesecond one is the ability to assign a physical meaningto the adopted formalism, and to consider all itstheoretical implications.Discussing an historical case where the adoption of aparticular formalism represents the real motor of thecreative intuition, we mean to delineate scientificdiscovery both as a discontinuous change with respectto previous achievements and as a (...) linear process ofknowledge enrichment.

- Is it always really mothers' fault?Caterina Spiezio &Alberta Lunardelli -2004 -Behavioral and Brain Sciences 27 (4):523-524.Falk's paper provides a nice cross-species perspective and an interesting background to formulate a theory of the evolution of human language. However, the author does not provide a complete overview and analysis of the origins of language and takes for granted the “continuity hypothesis.” Also her “infant parking theory” is questionable, as it is not well supported by observations.

- Human Life as Legal Value and its Protection in the Roman Law (article in Lithuanian).Marius Jonaitis &Albertas Milinis -2011 -Jurisprudencija: Mokslo darbu žurnalas 18 (3):821-840.Right to life is an essential natural right protected and defended by law. The aim of this publication is to discuss the main issues regarding human right to life and its protection in the Roman law. Article deals with the problems of beginning and end of the human life and legal capacity in Rome, elements of legal protection of slaves and family members subject to pater familias life as well as the principle crimes attempting to human life. First of all, (...) the right to life as well as the right to liberty were held to be the institutes of natural law (ius naturale) meanwhile institutes that provided possibility to withdraw those rights (e. g. patria potestas that in the most ancient époque included right to decide on subject person’s right to life) are derived from the branches of positive law—civil (ius civile) and law of nations (ius gentium). Such attitude of the Roman jurisprudence had a solid impact on recognizing right of life to be an inherent law of every person, deriving immediately from the human nature and not conferred by the society and the state.

- Actual implementation of sick children’s rights in Italian pediatric units: a descriptive study based on nurses’ perceptions.Sofia Bisogni,Corinna Aringhieri,Kathleen McGreevy,Nicole Olivini,José Rafael Gonzalez Lopez,Daniele Ciofi,Alberta Marino Merlo,Paola Mariotti &Filippo Festini -2015 -BMC Medical Ethics 16 (1):33.Several charters of rights have been issued in Europe to solemnly proclaim the rights of children during their hospital stay. However, notwithstanding such general declarations, the actual implementation of hospitalized children’s rights is unclear. The purpose of this study was to understand to which extent such rights, as established by the two main existing charters of rights, are actually implemented and respected in Italian pediatric hospitals and the pediatric units of Italian general hospitals, as perceived by the nurses working in (...) them.

- Food safety risks, disruptive events and alternative beef production: a case study of agricultural transition inAlberta.Debra J. Davidson,Kevin E. Jones &John R. Parkins -2016 -Agriculture and Human Values 33 (2):359-371.A key focus for agri-food scholars today pertains to emerging “alternative food movements,” particularly their long-term viability, and their potential to induce transitions in our prevailing conventional global agri-food systems. One under-studied element in recent research on sustainability transitions more broadly is the role of disruptive events in the emergence or expansion of these movements. We present the findings of a case study of the effect of a sudden acute food safety crisis—bovine spongiform encephalopathy, or mad cow disease—on alternative beef (...) production in the Province ofAlberta, Canada. Employing the conceptual lens of Sustainability Transition Theory, we explore the perspectives of conventional and alternative beef producers, treating alternative beef production as a niche operating within the dominant regime of global industrial agri-business. Three key findings are presented here. First, food safety risks and disruptive events can emerge as a direct consequence of the socio-ecological contradictions embedded in industrial agriculture, representing an opportunity for expansion of agricultural niches. Second, certain features of socio-economic regimes can also contribute to niche emergence, such as an economic system that disenfranchises beef-producing families. Finally, our study highlights the high level of diversity among niche agents and the complex and nuanced nature of their support for the niche. (shrink)
- Problem etičkog svjetonazora kodAlberta Schweitzera.Borut Ošlaj -2012 -Synthesis Philosophica 27 (1):51-67.Im ersten Teil des Beitrags wird das Problem der Weltanschauung innerhalb von Schweitzers Ethik der Ehrfurcht vor dem Leben dargestellt, im zweiten Teil werden die Grenzen seines Konzeptes sichtbar gemacht und anschließend die möglichen weltanschaulichen Perspektiven für die Zukunft behandelt. Aufgrund der Philosophiekritik und ihrer Untauglichkeit, eine allgemein praktizierbare Ethik zu erstellen, versucht Schweitzer die traditionelle Philosophie zu einer Weltanschauung zu transformieren, um somit den Prozess einer ethischen Renaissance der Kultur in Bewegung zu setzen. Der Großteil seiner ethischen Bemühungen dient (...) dem Projekt der Begründung und zugleich der möglichen Verwirklichung einer tätigen und bejahenden ethischen Beziehung zur Welt und zum Leben, die nicht nur auf einzelne, hochsensible, oder gar erleuchtete Individuen setzt, sondern womöglich die ganze Gesellschaft zu mobilisieren fähig wäre. Schweitzer versucht die Weltanschauung, nicht wie üblich, aus der Gesellschaft heraus zu begründen, sondern aus einer unmittelbaren Anschauung des Lebens und seiner erkenntnistheoretischen Unergründlichkeit , um damit den gesellschaftlichen Raum für eine unmittelbare, optimistische, alle Lebensformen bejahende Handlungsorientierung zu eröffnen. Das Bemühen um den enthusiastischen Charakter der moralischen Handlungen, der aus dem denkenden Erleben des Willens zum Leben zur ethischen Weltanschauung aufsteigen sollte, war das große Novum Schweitzers.In the first part of this paper we present the problem of worldview within Schweitzer’s ethics of reverence for life, in the second we delineate the limits of his concept, followed by the discussion on possible worldview perspectives for the future. Based on the critique of philosophy and its inability to create a universally practicable ethics, Schweitzer tried to transform the traditional philosophy into a worldview, thus trying to initiate a process of ethical renaissance of culture. Most of his ethical efforts serve for the project of grounding and simultaneously possible realising an active and affirmative ethical relationship toward world and life which focuses not only on particular, highly sensible or even enlightened individuals, but which could also be capable for mobilising the entire society. Schweitzer tried to justify the worldview not according to the society, as it is usual, but from a direct view of life and its epistemological inscrutability , thereby opening the social space for a direct, optimistic action orientation which accepts all forms of life. The effort for the enthusiastic character of moral actions, the character that should rise from the thinking experience of the will to live to the level of ethical worldview, was Schweitzer’s great novum.

- ‘You’re In Oil Country’: Moral Tales of Citizen Action against Petroleum Development inAlberta, Canada.Joshua Evans &Theresa Garvin -2009 -Ethics, Place and Environment 12 (1):49-68.The Canadian province ofAlberta has experienced phenomenal growth in its oil and gas industry. As the petroleum-industrial complex expands it has sparked a number of community-based conflicts over noxious facilities that are seen by some to be the cause of a number of health problems. The research reported here used two case studies to examine siting conflicts involving natural gas extraction facilities in ruralAlberta. We found that the stories shared by citizens involved in these conflicts functioned (...) as 'moral tales'. These moral tales were political in the way they challenged implicit and institutionalized rationales for redistributing benefits and burdens of oil and gas development. They also created a space for collective action by articulating spatial transgressions and by constructing a type of moral citizenship. (shrink)

- Conflicts of conscience in the neonatal intensive care unit: Perspectives ofAlberta.Natalie J. Ford &Wendy Austin -2018 -Nursing Ethics 25 (8):992-1003.Background: Limited knowledge of the experiences of conflicts of conscience found in nursing literature. Objectives: To explore the individual experiences of a conflict of conscience for neonatal nurses inAlberta. Research design: Interpretive description was selected to help situate the findings in a meaningful clinical context. Participants and research context: Five interviews with neonatal nurses working in Neonatal Intensive Care Units throughoutAlberta. Ethical consideration: Ethics approval from the Health Research Ethics Board at the University ofAlberta. (...) Findings: Three common themes emerged from the interviews: the unforgettable conflict with pain and suffering, finding the nurse’s voice, and the unique proximity of nurses. Discussion and conclusion: The nurses described a conflict of conscience when the neonate in their care experienced undermanaged pain and unnecessary suffering. During these experiences, they felt guilty, sad, hopeless, and powerless when they were unable to follow their conscience. Informal ways to follow their conscience were employed before declaration of conscientious objection was considered. This study highlights the vital importance of respecting a conflict of conscience to maintain the moral integrity of neonatal nurses and exposes the complexities of conscientious objection. (shrink)
- “That’s the Way We’ve Always Done It”: A Social Practice Analysis of Farm Animal Welfare inAlberta.Emilie M. Bassi,Ellen Goddard &John R. Parkins -2019 -Journal of Agricultural and Environmental Ethics 32 (2):335-354.Although beef and dairy production inAlberta, Canada, enjoys strong public support, there are enduring public concerns, including farm animal welfare. Evolving codes of practice and animal care councils prescribe changes and improvements to many areas of farm management, and may be seen by farmers as an appropriate response to public animal welfare concerns. However, codes of practice do not address every animal welfare concern, and new concerns can arise over time. Drawing on social practice theory and in-depth field (...) research with 36 cattle and dairy farmers, this paper explores the materials, competencies, and meanings of four animal husbandry practices: branding, dehorning, weaning, and on-farm handling and moving. Findings show that branding and dehorning are evolving slowly with attention to pain management, but remain firmly rooted in ranching tradition and communities of practice. Weaning and animal handling practices are evolving more quickly with attention to changing materials, attitudes, and values that are more prevalent within producer communities. (shrink)

- Crisis in the Tar Sands: Fossil Capitalism and the Future of theAlberta Hydrocarbon Economy.Tyler McCreary -2021 -Historical Materialism 30 (1):31-65.Using a case study ofAlberta, Canada, this paper demonstrates how a geographic critique of fossil capitalism helps elucidate the tensions shaping tar sands development. Conflicts over pipelines and Indigenous territorial claims are challenging development trajectories, as tar sands companies need to expand access to markets in order to expand production. While these conflicts are now well recognised, there are also broader dynamics shaping development. States face a rentier’s dilemma, relying on capital investments to realise resource value. Political responses (...) to the emerging climate crisis undercut the profitability of hydrocarbon extraction. The automation of production undermines the industrial compromise between hydrocarbon labour and capital. Ultimately, the crises of fossil capitalism require a radical transformation within or beyond capital relations. To mobilise against the tar sands, organisers must recognise the tensions underpinning it, developing strategies that address ecological concerns and the economic plight of those dispossessed and abandoned by carbon extraction.

- Work without workers: legal geographies of family farm exclusions from labour laws inAlberta, Canada.Emily Reid-Musson,Ellen MacEachen,Mary Beckie &Lars Hallström -2022 -Agriculture and Human Values 39 (3):1027-1038.Under the Canadian labour laws that govern workplace safety, wage, and other work conditions, ‘family’ workers are not covered by the law under special rules for agriculture. Among other legal exclusions, the family farm exclusion contributes to a dearth of basic work, health, and safety standards in the sector, despite the commercialization and industrialization of family farming activities. Through a focus onAlberta, Canada—where farm labour rules have only applied to agriculture since 2016—this article explores the family exclusion in (...) relation to family farming experiences with work and risk, based on interviews with farm operators, their family members, and farm employees inAlberta. While some participants continued to press for exemptions for farms from labour rules under the rationale that there is intrinsic safety within families, the findings also reveal how other participants have begun questioning this rationale, despite their overall support for the family farm exemption inAlberta. Using the lens of legal geography and critical perspectives on the family, we argue that the family is a significant but under-examined dynamic in the legal regimes governing farm labour and agricultural safety and health. Together, the law and dominant narratives about family farming treat farm operations as hyper-private domains, where operators have disproportionate power to dispose of their own work and the work of others how they wish. These legal geographies of hyper-privacy contribute to the indecent work conditions that characterize farm labour systems inAlberta and other jurisdictions. (shrink)
- Values and Canadian Health Care: anAlberta Exploration.Donna M. Wilson &Doris M. Kieser -1996 -Nursing Ethics 3 (1):9-15.In March 1994, a health care conference was held in Edmonton,Alberta, at which the values of conference participants towards health care were systematically recorded and analysed. This exploration is significant because the values that underpin the structure of the current publicly-funded and administered Canadian health care system rarely enter current discussions regarding health care system reform. Rather, economic and other sociopolitical forces now seem to be having a major impact on plans and actual changes within the health care (...) system. Thus, the underlying attitudes and beliefs of Canadians towards health care have not been articulated or given due credence. The conference par ticipants identified three dominant values: (1) the dignity of the human person as an indi vidual and social being; (2) respect for pluralism and difference; and (3) accountability These values were found to be robust, in that they sustain a focus on the 'common good'. The common good is the core of the Canadian health care system, and is enshrined in the 1984 Canada Health Act. Conceptually, these values could also lead to significant changes in health care, in keeping with the common good, particularly those changes focusing on the current deficiencies of the Canadian health care system.

- Perceptions of healthy eating in fourAlberta communities: a photovoice project.Brent A. Hammer,Helen Vallianatos,Candace I. J. Nykiforuk &Laura M. Nieuwendyk -2015 -Agriculture and Human Values 32 (4):649-662.Peoples’ perceptions of healthy eating are influenced by the cultural context in which they occur. Despite this general acceptance by health practitioners and social scientists, studies suggest that there remains a relative homogeneity around peoples’ perceptions that informs a hegemonic discourse around healthy eating. People often describe healthy eating in terms of learned information from sources that reflect societies’ norms and values, such as the Canada Food Guide and the ubiquitous phrase “fruits and vegetables”. Past research has examined how built (...) environments shape people’s access to healthy living options, such as distribution of grocers versus convenience stores and fast food restaurants. Often overlooked is an in-depth understanding of how social contexts interact with built environments, molding peoples’ perceptions of healthy eating. This paper reports on perceptions of healthy eating in four communities acrossAlberta, Canada. A photovoice methodology was employed to elicit perceptions of healthy eating with 35 participants. This study illustrates how participants’ photographs and their stories convey multiple meanings about healthy eating within their own lives and communities. Findings suggest that a ‘local’ context is an important part of the discourse centered around the promotion of healthy eating practices in these and potential other communities. (shrink)
