Protecting affiliation during pandemic crises
During the COVID-19 pandemic, non-pharmaceutical interventions that affected people's ability to access and maintain social relationships, which philosopher Martha Nussbaum calls "affiliation", were implemented. However, the WHO has reported that no measures to actively protect social relationships have been put in place. Furthermore, existing pandemic ethical frameworks do not explicitly specify affiliation protection as a relevant ethical consi…
Parenting the Forgotten Mourners. Caring for Siblings Amidst a Family Life Marked by Child Loss to Cancer
The aim of the paper was to examine the experiences of bereaved parents when parenting a bereaved sibling following the loss of a child to cancer in Switzerland. For this secondary analysis, we interviewed 19 bereaved parents who together had 25 surviving siblings. Reflexive thematic analysis revealed that many parents recognized that their grief could have a negative impact on their surviving children. They expressed uncertainty and sometimes re…
Could electrohypersensitivity be a specific form of high sensory processing sensitivity
Introduction: Electrohypersensitivity (EHS) refers to a syndrome in which individuals claim to suffer from a variety of symptoms that they attribute to electromagnetic fields. The characteristics of this specific hypersensitivity, particularly in terms of symptoms, are similar to those associated with high sensory processing sensitivity (HSPS). This article raises the question of the superposition of these two types of sensitivity and investigate…
Bittersweet encounters. A qualitative exploration of parents’ unexplainable grief experiences after child loss
When a loved one dies, some grievers report experiencing phenomena for which no rational explanation seems to exist. This qualitative study, based on a secondary analysis of interview data, aimed to contribute to a deeper understanding of the value and meaning of unexplainable grief experiences for 23 parents who lost a child to cancer and to integrate these insights into bereavement support. Many cancer-bereaved parents had a variety of unexplai…
Trends in socioeconomic inequalities in cause-specific premature mortality in Belgium, 1998–2019
Premature mortality rates have declined over time, but inequality has increased due to a faster pace of decrease in the least deprived areas compared to the most deprived areas. As the causes of death related to poor lifestyle choices contribute the most to the inequality gap, more effective, country-level interventions should be put in place to target segments of the population living in the most deprived areas as they are facing disproportionat…
Cooling facilities in paediatric palliative care
Parental grief is often found to be more intense and prolonged than other types of loss. Cooling facilities such as air-conditioned rooms or cold cots can allow parents to spend more time with their child by slowing the body?s decomposition. Similar to other bereavement interventions, the implementation of these technologies is largely practice based. We conducted a scoping literature review on cooling facilities to contribute to the development …
Rethinking advanced motherhood
The aim of the study is to rethink the ethics of advanced motherhood. In the literature, delayed childbearing is usually discussed in the context of reproductive justice, and in relationship to ethical issues associated with the use and risk of assisted reproductive technologies. We aim to go beyond these more “traditional” ways in which reproductive ethics is framed by revisiting ethics itself through the lens of the figure of the so-called “old…
Inequalities in mortality associated with housing conditions in Belgium between 1991 and 2020
Thousands of deaths in Belgium could be avoided if all Belgian neighborhoods had the mortality rates of the least deprived areas in terms of housing. Hotspots of housing inequalities need to be located and targeted with tailored public actions
Waking up” the sleeping metaphor of normality in connection to intersex or DSD
The aim of the study is to encourage a critical debate on the use of normality in the medical literature on DSD or intersex. For this purpose, a scoping review was conducted to identify and map the various ways in which “normal” is used in the medical literature on DSD between 2016 and 2020. We identified 75 studies, many of which were case studies highlighting rare cases of DSD, others, mainly retrospective observational studies, focused on impr…
Towards a pragmatist dealing with algorithmic bias in medical machine learning
Machine Learning (ML) is on the rise in medicine, promising improved diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic clinical tools. While these technological innovations are bound to transform health care, they also bring new ethical concerns to the forefront. One particularly elusive challenge regards discriminatory algorithmic judgements based on biases inherent in the training data. A common line of reasoning distinguishes between justified differenti…
A Tsunami of Love
This study provides insight into the experiences of young adults born with variations of sex characteristics to identify aspects of care and social support that need improvement. Semi-structured interviews with intersex youths in Switzerland were analyzed using interpretative, phenomenological analysis. Young adults desire timely, patient-centered information about their diagnoses. Peer support is key to delivering high-quality care but rarely sy…
Epic and vernacular production in Tomar Gwalior in the fifteenth century
The development of literature in the vernacular in fifteenth-century Gwalior has been attributed to its local rulers’ intentionality at that time. The patronage of the Tomars, a Rajput dynasty, for retellings of the epics in Classical Hindi has been ascribed to a reaction to ‘Muslim’ sovereignty and to a desire to ascertain their ‘son of the soil’ credentials. This paper complicates this commonplace reduction of the motives of patronage, and open…
Working Through Ethics Review of Big Data Research Projects
The employment of Big Data as an increasingly used research method has introduced novel challenges to ethical research practices and to ethics committees (ECs) globally. The aim of this study is to explore the experiences of scholars with ECs in the ethical evaluation of Big Data projects. Thirty-five interviews were performed with Swiss and American researchers involved in Big Data research in psychology and sociology. The interviews were analyz…
Memories of Yoginīpura
This paper discusses the lengthy eulogies (praśasti) framing the Apabhraṃśa-language compositions of Raïdhū, a Digambara Jaina from early-fifteenth-century Gwalior. In these praśastis, the patron of the work, his family and their noteworthy deeds are immortalised by the poet. Many of these patrons, all of them merchants, had ancestors living in Delhi, here named Yoginīpura, who seem to have migrated to Gwalior and elsewhere around the time of Tim…

The Seduction of the Female Body
Drawing on the ambiguous meaning of the notion of vulnerability, the book offers an innovative approach to the topic of the female body in relation to women's rights; going beyond the age-old dichotom
Karman and Compassion
As a religious tradition which largely defines itself by its propagation of non-violence (ahimsa) and respect for all living beings, Jainism gives particular attention to the wellbeing of animals, for example, in the prescription of a strict (lacto-)vegetarian diet, in advocating animal rights and the sponsorship of animal shelters. Against this background, this article examines the presence of animals and other non-human beings in Jaina mytholog…
