Towards the responsible development of microbiome engineering in the built environment
This Perspective calls for a transdisciplinary framework for the responsible advancement of Microbiome Engineering of the Built Environment (MEoBE). Acknowledging MEoBE's potential to improve public health, we highlight the need for early core practices and principles incorporating societal and ethical considerations. We propose integrating Responsible Research and Innovation (AIRR: anticipation, inclusion, responsiveness, reflexivity) with the N…
Ring-ing in the Future
Biodiversity? Yes, But What Kind? A Critical Reassessment in Light of a Challenge from Microbial Ecology
The Structural Links between Ecology, Evolution, and Ethics
Between Foucault and Derrida
Implicit Cognition and Gifts
This article takes the following two assumptions for granted: first, that gifts influence physicians and, second, that the influences gifts have on physicians may be harmful for patients. These assumptions are common in the applied ethics literature, and they prompt an obvious practical question, namely, what is the best way to mitigate the negative effects? We examine the negative effects of gift giving in depth, considering how the influence oc…
Between Deleuze and Foucault
The first rigorous, comparative discussion of Deleuze and Foucault: their philosophical relationship, their personal relationship and their divergences Deleuze and Foucault had a long, complicated and productive relationship, in which each was at various times a significant influence on the other. This collection combines 3 original essays by Deleuze and Foucault, in which they respond to each other's work, with 16 critical essays by key contempo…
Biopower
Michel Foucault's notion of has been highly fertile concept in recent theory, influencing thinkers worldwide across variety of disciplines and concerns. In The History of Sexuality: An Introduction, Foucault famously employed the term to describe a power bent on generating forces, making them grow, and ordering them, rather than one dedicated to impeding them, making them submit, or destroying them. With this volume, Vernon W. Cisney and Nicolae …
Characteristics Associated with HIV Drug Resistance Among Women Screening for an HIV Prevention Trial in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa
Baseline Predictors of High Adherence to a Coitally Dependent Microbicide Gel Based on an Objective Marker of Use
A randomized, placebo-controlled, efficacy trial of Carraguard was unable to demonstrate a reduction in women's risk of HIV infection, which may have been due, in part, to low adherence (gel used in 42 % of vaginal sex acts, on average). A secondary analysis was undertaken to understand baseline factors associated with high adherence (gel used in ≥85 % of sex acts). Women who reported ≥1 vaginal sex act, returned ≥1 opened applicator, and had ≥1 …
Against the Yuck Factor
The view we defend is that in virtue of its nature, disgust is not fit to do any moral or social work whatsoever, and that there are no defensible uses for disgust in legal or political institutions. We first describe our favoured empirical theory of the nature of disgust. Turning from descriptive to normative issues, we address the best arguments in favour of granting disgust the power to justify certain judgements, and to serve as a social tool…
User experiences and acceptability attributes of the diaphragm and lubricant gel in an HIV prevention trial in southern Africa
Methods for Improving Reproductive Health in Africa (MIRA), a phase III HIV prevention trial, was conducted among 5039 Zimbabwean and South African women to test the Ortho All-Flex diaphragm and Replens(®) lubricant gel. Among the 2418 intervention group participants, 105 women who had completed the trial and 41 male partners participated in focus group discussions and in-depth interviews about the acceptability of the diaphragm and gel and their…
