In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, “informed consent” emerged as a particular way to operationalize respect in medical and behavioral research contexts. Today, informed consent has been challenged by increasingly advanced networked information and communication technologies (ICTs) and the massive amounts of data they produce—challenges that have led many researchers and private companies to abandon informed consent as untenable or infeasible online.Against any easy dismissal, we aim to recover insights from the history of informed consent as it developed from the late 19th century to today. With a particular focus on the United States policy context, we show how informed consent is not a fixed or monolithic concept that should be abandoned in view of new data-intensive and technological practices, but rather it is a mechanism that has always been fluid—it has constantly evolved alongside the specific contexts and practices it is intended to regulate. Building on this insight, we articulate some specific challenges and lessons from the history of informed consent that stand to benefit current discussions of informed consent and research ethics in the context of data science and Internet industry research.","PeriodicalId":175866,"journal":{"name":"PRN: Political Processes","volume":"22 6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125000411","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Oshodi","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2788120","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2788120","url":null,"abstract":"Africa is a civilization built on three pillars, in principle, and yet in practice the actors are influenced by these forces of the African triple heritage; as represented by Ali Mazrui’s reflection of the African people, are not yet acting as such in economic unison. Indeed there is a discordant mix of economic consciousness, or conflict between tradition and modernity which has inhibited the impact on economic growth and development. What then has destabilized these innocent states of Africa? Where are the spirits of peace and wisdom? Wole Soyinka’s god of lyrics and idiomatic expression is present in African literature but not economics. Islamic finance certainly has some empirical solutions to offer on issues of human wellbeing (falah) and communal good life (hayya al tayyibah) but not yet in coherent guise; and the Christian missionaries have exposed Africans to Western education. Why then would the iroko tree near the reverend father’s house be cut down due to some extreme beliefs? How can one imagine an Africa that finds purposefully accommodating an integral mix of perceptions – of their own indigenous believes, Islamic affiliations and Westernized Christian ideologies? The African World System purportedly addresses development matters and unequal opportunities across nations while accommodating both political and also intellectual issues where theory and practice are interwoven. Many previous socio-economic theories are unfavourable to African development even though they worked in the North and West, at least to some point – before the melt down of neo-classical economic activities. With all these challenges, Africa still contends with the forces of the triple heritage and this piece illustrate a practical economic application of such.","PeriodicalId":175866,"journal":{"name":"PRN: Political Processes","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116373218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Savvides","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.2784802","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.2784802","url":null,"abstract":"Following the severe financial crisis of 2012/2013 and the subsequent contraction of the Cyprus economy, the authors consider the policies and institutional changes required to regenerate economic growth. It is argued that the crisis emanated largely from the wasteful use of investible funds both in the private and public sectors. The authors contend that only a substantial trend increase in quality public and private investments can produce the sustained economic growth necessary to alleviate the very high levels of unemployment and non-performing loans currently afflicting the economy. Subsequent to an analysis of the factors affecting investment performance, policies are proposed for raising productive investments. These should focus on building a capability to source funds and competently appraise and select investment projects, and also to restructure debt-laden, but potentially profitable enterprises. It is proposed that an institution with expertise in project financing, such as a National Development Finance Agency, be established to disentangle the complex web of the outstanding loans of enterprises and ascertain their viability and repayment capability. Furthermore, through a conversion of debt to equity and by attracting new funds this institution should facilitate potentially viable enterprises to undertake investments. In addition the institution should play a key role in the appraisal and financing of major developmental public sector projects and Public Private Partnerships.","PeriodicalId":175866,"journal":{"name":"PRN: Political Processes","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123746926","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Academic Inbreeding and Research Productivity of Russian Faculty Members 俄罗斯教员的学术近亲繁殖和研究生产力

There are contradictory results both in studies of different countries and within countries. Such a variety of results makes it impossible to transfer the findings from one academic system to another, and in Russia this problem has been under explored. This paper focuses on the relationship between inbreeding and publication activity among Russian faculty members. The results, using Russian data from the Changing Academic Profession survey, showed no substantial effect of academic inbreeding on research productivity. Inbred and non-inbred faculty members do not differ substantially in terms of the probability of having publications, or how many, although for inbreds such probability is slightly higher. These results are robust for different operationalizations of inbreeding and measures of publication activity. However the absence of significant differences in the number of publications may not mean the absence of a difference in their quality. The possible explanations and limitations of the standard measures of research productivity are discussed.","PeriodicalId":175866,"journal":{"name":"PRN: Political Processes","volume":"51 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-05-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114885875","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
