Law Versus What People Want
Research on strokes using genetics and neurobiobanking has highlighted some ethical, legal and social implications. Blood donation, brain donation, blood storage, re-use and sample sharing, data sharing, return of individual results, disclosure of incidental findings, pattern and causes of preference for informed consent, governance and regulation, and biorights are some of the legal problems presented. This study, therefore, explores this aspect…
New health taxes in Ghana
In the context of a fiscal crisis and health pressures, Ghana’s government has been exploring additional pro-health taxes. The World Health Organization and World Bank support health taxes as ‘win-win’ policies that can, if designed effectively, simultaneously improve health and raise revenue for health spending. However, international evidence shows that health taxes can meet political and public opposition. Yet, there is little research that em…
Singlehood in Indian context
Over the past decades, singlehood has become prevalent globally. In India, the same trend has been observed in recent years. Many singles are delaying marriage or choosing never to get married even though marriage is considered important in Indian society. This article explores how singlehood is experienced among Indian singles aged 30 years and older ( N = 153) and their quality of life. Using a mixed-method approach, it was found that a differe…
Lol even poor Brahmin discriminates poor Dalit’
We examine how economic inequality is considered at the intersection of one form of structural inequity: caste in India. While caste and class intersections are topics of extensive study in social sciences, we focus on how people make sense of these intersections in rejecting or defending reservation policies. We undertake a discursive analysis of discussions on the social media platform Quora, with a particular focus on how class-predicates are …
An exploration of stakeholder views and perceptions on taxing tobacco, alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages in Ghana
BACKGROUND: Non-communicable diseases (NCDs) account for nearly 43% of Ghana's all-cause mortality. Unhealthy commodities (such as alcohol, sugar and tobacco) are an important factor in the growing NCD burden in the region of sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). Despite health taxes on tobacco, alcohol and sugar-sweetened beverages (SSBs) gaining renewed attention, adoption and implementation in SSA remain limited. This study aims to unpack the contextual p…
Framing health taxes
Health taxes are effective policy instruments to save lives, raise government revenues and improve equity. Health taxes, however, directly conflict with commercial actors’ interests. Both pro-tax health advocates and anti-tax industry representatives seek to frame health tax policy. Yet, little is known about which frames resonate in which settings and how framing can most effectively advance or limit policies. To fill this gap, we conducted qual…
Human Rights Implications of Stroke Biobanking and Genomics Research in Sub-Saharan Africa
Stroke is a major cause of death in Sub-Saharan Africa ( ssa ) and genetic factors appear to play a part in its pathogenesis. This led to the development of stroke biobanking and genomics research in ssa . Existing stroke studies have focused on causes, incidence rates, fatalities and effects. However, scant attention has been paid to the legal issues about stroke biobanking and genomics research in the sub-region. Therefore, this article examine…
Caste in contemporary Bollywood movies
Caste, an integral part of the Indian social system, has extensively influenced all walks of life. The media is not an exception for the persuasion of caste. The depiction of caste as a social reality is central to Indian cinema since its early years. However, there is a lack of studies examining the depiction of the caste system in mainstream Bollywood movies. In the present study, we have critically analyzed mainstream commercial Bollywood movi…
Location–allocation of bins in urban solid waste management
Unraveling the Ethical, Legal, and Social Implications of Neurobiobanking and Stroke Genomic Research in Africa
The ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of emerging neurobiobanks and data resources are unclear in an African scientific landscape with unique cultural, linguistic, and belief systems. The overarching goal of the African Neurobiobank for Precision Stroke Medicine--ELSI Project is to identify, examine, and develop novel approaches to address ELSI issues of biobanking and stroke genomic research in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). To accomplis…
