Psychological Pathways Linking Neighborhood Socioeconomic Factors to Cognitive Health in Black and White Older Adults
Objectives Both the level and distribution of neighborhood-level socioeconomic resources are associated with cognitive health in later life. This study examined psychological mechanisms underlying these associations for Black and White older adults. Methods Data from 591 (50% Black, 43% White) older adults from the Michigan Cognitive Aging Project were linked to census tract-level information on neighborhood disadvantage, affluence, and racial in…
A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma
The use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare comes with opportunities but also numerous challenges. A specific challenge that remains underexplored is the lack of clear and distinct definitions of the concepts used in and/or produced by these algorithms, and how their real world meaning is translated into machine language and vice versa, how their output is understood by the end user. This “semantic” black box adds to the “mathematical” …

Using Social Media as a Research Recruitment Tool
The use of social media as a recruitment tool for research with humans is increasing, and likely to continue to grow. Despite this, to date there has been no specific regulatory guidance and there has been little in the bioethics literature to guide investigators and institutional review boards (IRBs) faced with navigating the ethical issues such use raises. We begin to fill this gap by first defending a nonexceptionalist methodology for assessin…
Understanding public perceptions of biotechnology through the “Integrative Worldview Framework”
Biotechnological innovations prompt a range of societal responses that demand understanding. Research has shown such responses are shaped by individuals’ cultural worldviews. We aim to demonstrate how the Integrative Worldview Framework (IWF) can be used for analyzing perceptions of biotechnology, by reviewing (1) research on public perceptions of biotechnology and (2) analyses of the stakeholder-debate on the bio-based economy, using the Integra…
Political and ethical aspects in the ethnography of policy translation
A currently burgeoning literature in planning and policy studies engages with the travel of policy models across countries and sites through novel concepts such as policy translation, policy mobility, and mutations. Increasingly, this literature calls for ethnographic methods to study the travel of policy models. Such methods require various degrees of researcher's participation in the policy process. As a result, ethnographers become entangled i…
Away from fossil-fuels and toward a bioeconomy
In the face of energy security and climate change, and with technological advances, many industrial countries have embraced the transition to a bioeconomy – an economy based on energy, chemicals and materials obtained from biomass. However, the policy and academic discourses on a bioeconomy transition suggest growing controversy around its social, environmental and ethical impacts. In this article, we apply an epistemic forms framework to better …
