Towards trustworthy medical AI ecosystems – a proposal for supporting responsible innovation practices in AI-based medical innovation
In this article, we explore questions about the culture of trustworthy artificial intelligence (AI) through the lens of ecosystems. We draw on the European Commission’s Guidelines for Trustworthy AI and its philosophical underpinnings. Based on the latter, the trustworthiness of an AI ecosystem can be conceived of as being grounded by both the so-called rational-choice and motivation-attributing accounts—i.e., trusting is rational because solutio…
Relational Ethics and Structural Epistemic Injustice of AI in Medicine
With this contribution, we propose an initial, relational ethics approach to epistemic inclusion in the development and application of medical decision support systems. We revisit issues of epistemic injustice in various forms of medical AI and consider different orders of epistemic oppression. We argue that AI-based decision support risks excluding patients and medical personnel from relevant epistemic processes vital to good medical practice. F…

Tailoring responsible research and innovation to the translational context
We discuss the implementation of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) within a project for the development of an AI-supported exergame for assisted movement training, outline outcomes and reflect on methodological opportunities and limitations. We adopted the responsibility-by-design (RbD) standard (CEN CWA 17796:2021) supplemented by methods for collaborative, ethical reflection to foster and support a shift towards a culture of trustworthi…
A systemic perspective on bridging the principles-to-practice gap in creating ethical artificial intelligence solutions – a critique of dominant narratives and proposal for a collaborative way forward
We critique demands in artificial intelligence and technology development for bridging the so-called principles-to-practice gap that are voiced for instrumental reasons, such as accelerating adoption or creating trust, via clearly actionable ethical rules or via outsourced guidance offered by ethics ‘experts.’ We contend that these views are prone to amount to a simple reconfiguration of technical implementation. We support inclusive and philosop…
Applying Thematic Analysis to Analyse Press Coverage in Cross-Country Comparative Research
The aim of this exploratory study is to investigate similarities and differences in how the press report on school education and policy in England and Germany. For the purpose of analysing relevant regional and national press coverage, we will create four data sets. Inspired by Bourdieu’s theories of the state and work in relation to news media, and applying thematic analysis, we will investigate which specific contents are reported and how issue…
Bildung und Schule im Spannungsfeld pandemiebedingter Herausforderungen
Im deutschen Schulsystem wurde auf die Coronapandemie mit vielfältigen, teilweise schnelllebigen Maßnahmen reagiert. Insbesondere drei Akteursgruppen versuchten dabei Einfluss zu nehmen: Schulen, Familien und Politik. Theoretisch gerahmt von Schimanks (2010) Akteur-Struktur-Dynamiken, wird im Beitrag empirisch der Fragestellung nachgegangen, wie Schulen, Familien und Politik sich in Presseberichten positionieren bzw. positioniert werden. Auf der …
On the Ethical and Epistemological Utility of Explicable AI in Medicine
In this article, I will argue in favor of both the ethical and epistemological utility of explanations in artificial intelligence (AI)-based medical technology. I will build on the notion of “explicability” due to Floridi, which considers both the intelligibility and accountability of AI systems to be important for truly delivering AI-powered services that strengthen autonomy, beneficence, and fairness. I maintain that explicable algorithms do, i…
Three Risks That Caution Against a Premature Implementation of Artificial Moral Agents for Practical and Economical Use
In the present article, I will advocate caution against developing artificial moral agents (AMAs) based on the notion that the utilization of preliminary forms of AMAs will potentially negatively feed back on the human social system and on human moral thought itself and its value—e.g., by reinforcing social inequalities, diminishing the breadth of employed ethical arguments and the value of character. While scientific investigations into AMAs pos…
Public Service Broadcasting-Friends groups as a microcosm of public interest media advocacy
This article is concerned with the interdependencies between public service broadcasters and the third sector, an area in which there is little research that has provided in-depth analysis of case studies. It investigates and compares three public service broadcasting (PSB)-Friends groups in the UK, Australia, and South Africa. By means of analyzing semi-structured interviews and archival data, we address development, institutionalization and pol…
Dimensions
Until recently, comprehensive scientometrics data has been made available only in siloed, subscription-based tools that are inaccessible to researchers who lack institutional support and resources. As a result of limited data access, research evaluation practices have focused upon basic indicators that only take publications and their citation rates into account. This has blocked innovation on many fronts. Dimensions is a database that links and …

The end of the television licence fee? Applying the German household levy model to the United Kingdom
While the United Kingdom (UK) government has renewed the BBC Royal Charter until 2027 and confirmed that the television licence fee will last for this period, a medium-term shift from the television licence fee to a household levy is still a policy option. Drawing on the German experience, we discuss the probable difficulties, possible benefits and the overall implications of such a shift in the UK. The article employs a comparative media policy …

Experimental media policy
Experiments are part of the methodological toolkit in empirical political, economic and social science research. However, perhaps surprisingly, there is very little elaboration on the use and potential of experiments for media and communications policy, an issue addressed in this article. To float the idea we introduce some basic features of experiments and experimental approaches. Subsequently, five models of broadcasting organization that diffe…

Elite interviewing in media and communications policy research
This article critically examines the use of elite interviews in media and communications policy research. It addresses the fit between various analytical frameworks and elite interviews as a primary source of data, interviewee selection, access, the conduct of interviews and data analysis. It is argued that there is a lack of methodological explanation and reflection in our field of study. Partly, this is determined by the preferences of publishe…
Policy streams and public service media funding reforms in Germany and Finland
On 1 January 2013, Germany and Finland made the switch from the traditional broadcasting licence fee tied to television-set ownership to a compulsory excise duty collected from all citizens, households and places of business. This article compares the changes in these countries’ public service media funding arrangements on the basis of John Kingdon’s ‘multiple streams’ framework of public policy-making which, to date, has been rather neglected in…
A fully liquid DTPw-HepB-Hib combination vaccine for booster vaccination of toddlers in El Salvador
This study demonstrates that the fully liquid combined DTPw-HepB-Hib vaccine is highly immunogenic and has a favorable safety profile when given as a booster vaccination to toddlers who have received a primary vaccination course with a different pentavalent vaccine that requires reconstitution
Infraestrutura Verde
Cities are open ecosystems frequently vulnerable to climatic events. Urban sprawl based on private cars requires grey infrastructure development (roads, parking lots, and others impervious surfaces), which leads to recurrent impacts, such as floods and landslides, traffic congestion, high energy consumption, greenhouse gases emissions (GHG) and wide spread pollution. This paper focuses on the potential of green infrastructure as a means to mitiga…
