A comparison of California and Texas secondary science teachers’ perceptions of climate change
This study investigates climate change perceptions of secondary science teachers in a Blue state and a Red state. A total of 832 secondary science teachers, 456 from California, and 376 from Texas public schools responded to an online questionnaire regarding their climate change perceptions. Findings indicate that a significant proportion of teachers in both states lack adequate knowledge and have misconceptions about basic climate change concept…
In Vitro Neurochemical Assessment of Methylphenidate and Its “Legal High” Analogs 3,4-CTMP and Ethylphenidate in Rat Nucleus Accumbens and Bed Nucleus of the Stria Terminalis
3,4-dichloromethylphenidate (3,4-CTMP) and ethylphenidate are new psychoactive substances and analogs of the attention deficit medication methylphenidate. Both drugs have been reported on online user fora to induce effects similar to cocaine. In the UK, 3,4-CTMP appeared on the drug market in 2013 and ethylphenidate has been sold since 2010. We aimed to explore the neurochemical effects of these drugs on brain dopamine and noradrenaline efflux. 3…
Confucian Role Ethics and Relational Autonomy in the Mengzi
Whether role-ethics interpretations of early Confucianism possess the resources to identify and redress gender inequality and oppression is examined here. Argued for is a conception of Confucian autonomy, grounded in Mengzi's remarks about zhi 智 (wisdom), that is a substantive account of autonomy competency: substantive because renyi 仁義 guide junzi 君子 in determining right and wrong; a competency because it emphasizes a repertoire of skills and ca…
Confucian Role Ethics
This article surveys recent scholarship on Confucian role ethics, examines some of its fundamental commitments, and suggests future directions for scholarship. Role ethics interprets early Confucianism as promoting a relational conception of persons and employs this conception to emphasize how a person's roles and relationships are the source of her ethical obligations and ethical growth. While there is much consensus among role ethic scholars, t…
Wisdom, Agency, and the Role of Reasons in Mengzi
I examine the role moral reasons play in the Mengzi and their relationship to Mengzi's conception of wisdom. Some commentators have argued that agency in early Chinese thought is best characterized as performance based rather than deliberation based. I propose that Mengzi's conception of agency is both performative and deliberative because he understands wisdom as a sort of expert decision making. Consequently, Mengzi relies on moral reasons of t…
Mengzi’s Externalist Solution to the Role Dilemma
The role dilemma raises a problem for role ethic interpretations of Confucianism. The dilemma arises from the conflict between the demands and obligations of Humaneness and the demands and obligations of roles one occupies. Favoring the demands of Humaneness (i.e. externalism) undermines a role ethic because roles and role-obligations no longer ground the ethic. However, favoring social role-obligations (i.e. internalism) permits immoral and unju…
Estimating the Harms of Nicotine-Containing Products Using the MCDA Approach
Background: An international expert panel convened by the Independent Scientific Committee on Drugs developed a multi-criteria decision analysis model of the relative importance of different types of harm related to the use of nicotine-containing products. Method: The group defined 12 products and 14 harm criteria. Seven criteria represented harms to the user, and the other seven indicated harms to others. The group scored all the products on eac…
