Trustworthy AI beyond the technical
Bifurcations in beneficence
Interest in the integration of traditional and biomedical health practices is growing globally, as indicated by the WHO’s 2023 global summit on traditional medicines. The place of traditional medicines in a biomedical health system is also gaining attention locally in the Singaporean context, where recent health policy changes have emphasised an integrative approach that prioritises continuity of care to improve health outcomes. Yet, this drive t…
Beyond the algorithm
In this paper, we present an overview of the main conceptual framework for trustworthy AI and argue that the network account offers a superior alternative. We identify and illustrate the possible nodes within an AI network, specify the key attributes each node should possess, and clarify what constitutes a sufficient threshold for each attribute. Building on this foundation, we introduce a novel framework for the network account of trustworthy AI…
Using technology, partnerships and innovation to build an integrated care pathway for mental health across the lifespan
Background: In the Simcoe, Ontario, Canada, the mental health (MH) system is fragmented with primary care providers reporting being ill equipped to manage MH concerns across the lifespan. This often leads to referrals to tertiary care or emergency departments (EDs) regardless of acuity of symptoms as evidenced by clogged EDs and long waits. This highlights the key role primary care can play in care pathways to first diagnosis before referral to s…
What hepatology clinicians and their patients with alcohol‐related liver disease think of wearable alcohol biosensors to aid abstinence from alcohol
Sustained Reduction in Severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Micropremature Infants
Brain-protective initiatives such as midline head positioning and minimal handling are associated with a significant and sustained reduction in severe IVH among inborn micropremature infants
The influence of German emigration on American intellectual life
Calendars for the People
Runestaves are perpetual calendars that were made and used in Sweden and surrounding areas from the turn of the first millennium until printed almanacs superseded them in the seventeenth or eighteenth century. They represent a sophisticated form of vernacular science-tools that enabled lay users to calculate lunar cycles, feast days, and even Easter, independent of clerical authority. As such, runestaves exemplify locally maintained systems of em…
The myth of translational bioethics
In recent years, the case has been made for special attention to be paid to a branch of research in the field of bioethics called ‘translational bioethics’. In this paper, we start by considering some of the assumptions that those advancing translational approaches to bioethics make about bioethics and compare them to the reality of bioethics as an academic field. We move on to explain how those who make this case, implicitly or explicitly, for t…
Transforming healthcare with integrated inter-professional education in a research-driven medical school
Singapore, located strategically at the meeting point of the Malacca Strait and the South China Sea, has established itself as a global financial and economic hub. Despite its small geographical size, Singapore is home to over 5 million people from diverse cultural backgrounds. The city-state's medical education landscape has evolved significantly over the past century. Originally, Singapore had only one undergraduate medical school, the NUS Yong…

Loanwords in Basic Vocabulary as an Indicator of Borrowing Profiles
Loanwords carry information on linguistic interactions, and can also reveal (pre-)historical population contacts. The contact history of a particular language family is an essential component of historical linguistics, but it is also illuminating for integrative studies of the human past. However, data availability and the time-consuming nature of etymology mean that comprehensive research on loanword layers exists for relatively few languages, f…
Challenges and Solutions for Monitoring Alcohol Use in Patients With Alcohol-Related Liver Disease
OBJECTIVES: Early alcohol use identification can prevent morbidity/mortality for alcohol-associated liver disease (ALD). Innovative wearable alcohol biosensors (biosensors) that identify alcohol use through perspiration are an emerging technology with potential application for patients with ALD. Our primary aim was to determine biosensor acceptability and feasibility for patients with ALD. We describe participant acceptance and challenges using b…
Investigating Writing Instruction Practices for Students With Deafness and Hearing Loss
This case study investigated the writing instruction practices of teachers (grades 6 and 7) of students with deafness and hearing loss. The researchers focused on what classroom practices and strategies teachers employed with students, what teachers’ perspectives were about best-practices for writing instruction, students’ perspectives about writing, and scores from their end-of-unit writing samples. The authors completed qualitative interviews a…
The ‘human element’ in the social space of the courtroom
The context- and person-specific nature of the Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) in England and Wales means inherent indeterminacy characterises decision-making in the Court of Protection (CoP), not least regarding conflicting values and the weight that should be accorded to competing factors. This paper explores how legal professionals frame and influence the MCA's deliberative and adjudicative processes in the social space of the courtroom through…
Justifying and practising effective participation in the Court of Protection
Under the Mental Capacity Act 2005 in England and Wales (MCA), the participation of persons in making decisions that affect their lives is embedded within the legislation and has also been addressed directly in Court of Protection (CoP) rules and guidelines. Nonetheless, various studies and reports have indicated a potential gap between practice on the ground and the participatory aspirations of the MCA. This article presents an analysis of semi‐…
The Challenges of Struggling Writers
Writing is a necessary skill in our technological world. Many people have a mobile device that they use for e-mailing, social media, as an alarm clock to start the day, reading the news, searching for information, ordering food, managing transportation (e.g., monitoring traffic, accessing public transit), or for relaxing pursuits, such as watching a movie or listening to music. While these tasks are natural and almost effortless for numerous peop…
Public involvement in the governance of population-level biomedical research
Population-level biomedical research offers new opportunities to improve population health, but also raises new challenges to traditional systems of research governance and ethical oversight. Partly in response to these challenges, various models of public involvement in research are being introduced. Yet, the ways in which public involvement should meet governance challenges are not well understood. We conducted a qualitative study with 36 exper…
Gender Differences and Lost Flexibility in Online Freelancing During the Covid-19 Pandemic
We report findings from an ongoing panel study of 68 U.S.-based online freelancers, focusing here on their experiences both pre- and in-pandemic. We see online freelancing as providing a window into one future of work: collaborative knowledge work that is paid by the project and mediated by a digital labor platform. The study's purposive sampling provides for both empirical and conceptual insights into the occupational differences and career plan…
Golden Section Proportionality in the Music of dZihan and Kamien
Academic studies of the golden section are evidenced across a range of disciplines. In music the discourse has been dominated by analytical studies from the realm of classical music but much less with relation to popular music. In order to explore this absence an in-depth case study was undertaken into the golden section within EDM through an analysis of the musical output of the European duo, dZihan & Kamien. The authors employed time-based rath…
Consent in the time of Covid-19
The COVID-19 pandemic crisis has necessitated widespread adaptation of revised treatment regimens for both urgent and routine medical problems in patients with and without COVID-19. Some of these alternative treatments maybe second-best. Treatments that are known to be superior might not be appropriate to deliver during a pandemic when consideration must be given to distributive justice and protection of patients and their medical teams as well t…
‘Your country needs you’
As the COVID-19 pandemic impacts on health service delivery, health providers are modifying care pathways and staffing models in ways that require health professionals to be reallocated to work in critical care settings. Many of the roles that staff are being allocated to in the intensive care unit and emergency department pose additional risks to themselves, and new policies for staff reallocation are causing distress and uncertainty to the prof…
Tragic choices in intensive care during the Covid-19 pandemic
Tragic choices arise during the COVID-19 pandemic when the limited resources made available in acute medical settings cannot be accessed by all patients who need them. In these circumstances, healthcare rationing is unavoidable. It is important in any healthcare rationing process that the interests of the community are recognised, and that decision-making upholds these interests through a fair and consistent process of decision-making. Responding…
Slow Ethics and the Art of Care
Care, as it is currently practiced, is in crisis. This is the core motivational claim that drives Ann Gallagher’s powerful and polemical new treatise on ethics and care, Slow Ethics and the Art of
Ethics and chronic illness
This is a book that sheds light on a notable, but rarely acknowledged, blind spot in the field of health care ethics. It poses a critical question: how ought good care be conceived for, and provide
Work Precarity and Gig Literacies in Online Freelancing
Many workers have been drawn to the gig economy by the promise of flexible, autonomous work, but scholars have highlighted how independent working arrangements also come with the drawbacks of precarity. Digital platforms appear to provide an alternative to certain aspects of precarity by helping workers find work consistently and securely. However, these platforms also introduce their own demands and constraints. Drawing on 20 interviews with onl…
Making gigs work
Technology has driven new organisations of work and employment relationships, rendering changes that would have been unimaginable just a decade ago. The rise of digital platforms has not only enabled new forms of work activity but also transformed the way workers find new opportunities. This development, referred to as gig work, is distinct from traditional employment in that it is mediated through online platforms. While we can somewhat objectiv…
Structural Phylogeny in Historical Linguistics
Using various methods derived from evolutionary biology, including maximum parsimony and Bayesian phylogenetic analysis, we tackle the question of the relationships among a group of Papuan isolate languages that have hitherto resisted accepted attempts at demonstration of interrelatedness. Instead of using existing vocabulary-based methods, which cannot be applied to these languages due to the paucity of shared lexemes, we created a database of S…
Constructing and Reconstructing ‘Best Interests’
The Mental Capacity Act 2005 (MCA) authorises substitute decision-making in England and Wales, in relation to 'acts in connection with care or treatment', for a person lacking the capacity to make an autonomous decision, if it is both necessary and in his or her 'best interests'. The approach adopted by the MCA is consistent with the common law, but widens both the scope and procedures of a 'best interests' determination to allow for a general mo…
A Combined Comparative and Phylogenetic Analysis of the Chapacuran Language Family
The Chapacuran language family, with three extant members and nine historically attested lects, has yet to be classified following modern standards in historical linguistics. This paper presents an internal classification of these languages by combining both the traditional comparative method (CM) and Bayesian phylogenetic inference (BPI). We identify multiple systematic sound correspondences and 285 cognate sets of basic vocabulary using the ava…
Time and Place in the Prehistory of the Aslian Languages
The Aslian language family, located in the Malay Peninsula and southern Thai Isthmus, consists of four distinct branches comprising some 18 languages. These languages predate the now dominant Malay and Thai. The speakers of Aslian languages exhibit some of the highest degree of phylogenetic and societal diversity present in Mainland Southeast Asia today, among them a foraging tradition particularly associated with locally ancient, Pleistocene gen…
Distancing Bonus Or Downscaling Loss? The Changing Livelihood of Us Online Workers in Times of Covid‐19
We draw on data from the Online Labour Index and interviews with freelancers in the United States securing work on online platforms, to illuminate effects of the COVID‐19 pandemic. The pandemic's global economic upheaval is shuttering shops and offices. Those able to do so are now working remotely from their homes. They join workers who have always been working remotely: freelancers who earn some or all of their income from projects secured via o…

Ethical issues in the use of fall detectors
Fall detectors are a form of remote monitoring assistive technology that have the potential to enhance the wellbeing of adults at risk from falling. In this paper, the ethical issues raised by the use of fall detectors are examined. The fall detection devices currently available are outlined, and a summary of how these devices require social-care services, or family carers, to respond in particular ways, is provided. The ethical issues associated…
Spiritual Coping in American Buddhists
Researchers in the United States have examined spiritual coping in Christians, Jews, Hindus, and Muslims, but rarely Buddhists. Using qualitative methodology, the present study represents an initial investigation into Buddhist forms of coping. Twenty-four Buddhists from across the United States were interviewed by phone, examining how their spirituality is used to cope with stress. Thematic analyses revealed six forms of Buddhist coping—right und…

Dative sickness
A major argument against the feasibility of reconstructing syntax for proto-stages is the widely discussed lack of directionality of syntactic change. In a recent typology of changes in argument structure constructions based on Germanic (Barodal 2015), several different, yet opposing, changes are reported. These include, among others, processes sometimes called dative sickness, nominative sickness, and accusative sickness. In order to tease apart…

Intrasexual competition as a potential influence on anabolic-androgenic steroid use initiation
An estimated 293,000 people living in the United Kingdom have used anabolic-androgenic steroids. However, there is currently no intervention to reduce usage available in practice or academic circulation throughout the United Kingdom. This study aimed to test a novel hypothesis that increased levels of intrasexual competition may play an important influential role in the use of anabolic-androgenic steroids. Significantly higher levels of intrasexu…
