The procedure consists of data set building, appli- cation of various digital tools and interpretation of outputs. The analysis is conducted in order to acquire the basic topic structure of articles, to identify most frequently used terms, collocations and their occurrences with respect to the year of publishing, and to expose basic statistical author‘s data. The purpose of contribution is to present statistical overview of the journal between the years 1999 and 2016, thus to illustrate, by means of computational method, its main trends and bibliometrics data.

What kind of digital tools can be applied to analyze EIT in order to obtain relevant Ethical aspects of new technologies have been in focus statistical outputs? There are three main aims: of scholars for a relatively long time – Norbert Wiener, a) to gather and prepare digital resources and to compile EIT professor of mathematics and engineering, during the 1940s corpus; created “cybernetics”, a branch of applied science in which b) to extract various statistical data sets from corpus and to he foreshadowed most of topical issues such as computer and interpret the outputs; security, digital privacy, ethics of programmer, information c) to examine methodological possibilities of applied digital networks, virtual communities. Later on in the 1970s Walter tools. Maner coined a new field of applied ethics “computer ethics” which is concerned with ethical problems created and aggravated The purpose is to offer the overview of computer and by computers. After that James Moor [1] offered more profound information ethics (represented by EIT journal) through the use definition of computer ethics reflecting the fundamental nature of quantitative computational methods. We are going to work and social impact of computer technology. In the 1990s Donald with digital tools that fall under the approaches elaborated in Gotterbarn redefined computer ethics as a professional ethics statistics, computational linguistics, natural language processing, that deals with codes of conduct for computing professionals; and bibliometrics and digital humanities (DH). finally, Floridi [2] based his “information ethics” on metaphysical assumption that world is made of informational objects (humans, animals, artifacts, electronic objects, data...) regarded as potential 2.

    How should the protection of privacy, threatened by new technologies like radio frequency identification (RFID), be seen from a Judeo-Christian perspective? A dissertation by Erwin Walter Schmidt submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of Master of Theology in the subject Theological Ethics at the UNIVERSITY OF SOUTH AFRICA Supervisor: Prof Dr Puleng LenkaBula Co-supervisor: Dr Dr Volker Kessler November 2011 1 © 2012-11-10 UNISA, Erwin Walter Schmidt, student no. 4306-490-6 Summary Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) is a new technology which allows people to identify objects automatically but there is a suspicion that, if people are tracked, their privacy may be infringed. This raises questions about how far this technology is acceptable and how privacy should be protected. It is also initiated a discussion involving a wide range of technical, philosophical, political, social, cultural, and economical aspects. There is also a need to consider the ethical and theological perspectives. This dissertation takes all its relevant directions from a Judeo-Christian theological perspective. On one side the use of technology is considered, and on the other side the value of privacy, its infringements and protection are investigated. According to Jewish and Christian understanding human dignity has to be respected including the right to privacy. As a consequence of this RFID may only used for applications that do not infringe this right. This conclusion, however, is not limited to RFID; it will be relevant for other, future surveillance technologies as well. 2 © 2012-11-10 UNISA, Erwin Walter Schmidt, student no. 4306-490-6 Key terms: Radio frequency identification, privacy, human rights, right to privacy, technology, information and communication technology, privacy enhancing technology, Internet of Things, data protection, privacy impact assessment.

    Pragmatism, Ethics, and Technology / 10 Pragmatism, Ethics, and Technology Hans Radder Free University of Amsterdam

    Techné 7:3 Spring 2004 Radder, Pragmatism, Ethics, and Technology / 10 Pragmatism, Ethics, and Technology Hans Radder Free University of Amsterdam Pragmatist Ethics for a Technological Culture presents a variety of essays on a significant and timely issue. The plan of the book is thoughtful. It comprises nine major chapters, each followed by a brief commentary. The volume is divided into four parts: technology and ethics, the status of pragmatism, pragmatism and practices, and discourse ethics and deliberative democracy. In addition, the introductory and concluding chapters by the editors help to connect the various contributions. Moreover, these chapters sketch an interesting programmatic approach for dealing with the ethical problems of our technological culture. The only complaint one might have about the book's composition is the lack of a subject and name index. In this essay, I will not present the usual summary review but instead offer some reflections on the three main concepts of the book (pragmatism, ethics and technology) and on the way these concepts have been explained, employed and related in the various contributions. My overall conclusion is that, although much can be learned from the book, it also falls short in some respects. The most important problem is that, appearances notwithstanding, the full significance of technology for our ethical problems is not being appropriately acknowledged. Pragmatism Let me start with a preliminary issue. As do most of the authors, I think that it is appropriate to speak of a pragmatist, instead of a merely pragmatic, approach to ethics. As I see it, a pragmatist approach requires the commitment to engage in discursive explanation and argumentation, while a pragmatic approach suggests that these more theoretical activities may be omitted.

    Information Ethics in the Context of Information Literacy

    Proinflow: časopis pro informační vědy 2/2016 Information ethics in the context of information Literacy Františka Tomoriová Comenius University on Bratislava, Department of Library and Information Science Abstract The concept of information ethics is quite extensive. It is necessary to deal with it also with regard to information literacy, as prove recent and traditional concepts and definitions of information literacy with incorporated ethical espects. Information ethics and information literacy are closely connected, as illustrates the RPT (R-Resource, P-Product, T-Target) model of information ethics created by Luciano Floridi1, Christine Bruce's model of Seven Faces of information literacy, which deals with ethical aspects in connection with wise use of information2 and Nancy Tuana's concept of moral literacy3. Critical thinking is perceived as necessary in the context of both information literacy and information ethics. As Richard Paul4 stresses, information ethics without critical thinking can lead to indoctrination. On the basis of these approaches were created visualizations of connection between information ethics and information literacy.

  • Ordinary Technoethics

    Ordinary Technoethics

    Ordinary Technoethics MICHEL PUECH Philosophy, Paris-Sorbonne University, Paris, France Email: [email protected] Web site: http://michel.puech.free.fr ABSTRACT From recent philosophy of technology emerges the need for an ethical assessment of the ordinary use of technological devices, in particular telephones, computers, and all kind of digital artifacts. The usual method of academic ethics, which is a top-down deduction starting with metaethics and ending in applied ethics, appears to be largely unproductive for this task. It provides “ideal” advice, that is to say formal and often sterile. As in the opposition between “ordinary language” philosophy and “ideal language” philosophy, the ordinary requires attention and an ethical investigation of the complex and pervasive use of everyday technological devices. Some examples indicate how a bottom-up reinvention of the ethics of technology can help in numerous techno-philosophical predicaments, including ethical sustainability. downloaded on http://michel.puech.free.fr 1/21 This paper resists “Ideal Technoethics”, which is implicit in mainstream academic applied ethics approaches and is currently favored by the bureaucratic implementation of ethics in public and private affairs. Instead, some trends in philosophy of technology emphasize the importance of ordinary technologically- laden behaviors. If we take this approach one step further, it leads to ordinary technoethics. In my take on ordinary technology, values are construed differently, starting from the importance of the ordinary use of technology (humble devices and focal1 familiar practices). The primacy of use in the history of the Internet provides a paradigm for the ordinary empowerment of users. What are the ethical consequences of this empowerment, and how is the average human being today equipped to address them in the innumerable micro-actions of ordinary life? Technoethics Technoethics as a research and practice field is situated in between philosophy of technology and applied ethics.

    Guide for Implementation of Helping Babies Breathe®

    Guide for Implementation of Helping Babies Breathe® Strengthening neonatal resuscitation in sustainable programs of essential newborn care Guide for Implementation of Helping Babies Breathe® (HBB): Strengthening neonatal resuscitation in sustainable programs of essential newborn care. 2011. Elk Grove Village, IL: American Academy of Pediatrics Helping Babies Breathe® (HBB) aims to help meet Millennium Development Goal 4 targets for reduction of child mortality by addressing one of the most important causes of neonatal death: intrapartum-related events (birth asphyxia). HBB is an evidence-based educational program which teaches the simple steps that effectively resuscitate the majority of infants not breathing at birth. Helping Babies Breathe is designed to coordinate with other interventions in a package selected to improve neonatal and maternal health. HBB can be used as the resuscitation component in courses teaching Essential Newborn Care (WHO) and courses in midwifery skills. HBB can be used at all levels in the health system. It extends resuscitation training to first-level health facilities and health workers in resource-limited settings, where these skills are most lacking. It also can be used in higher-level health facilities, including tertiary facilities, where it complements, but does not replace, comprehensive resuscitation programs such as the Neonatal Resuscitation Program (NRP). Both HBB and NRP teach the same first steps in resuscitation, but NRP also includes the use of supplemental oxygen, chest compressions, intubation, and medications. HBB uses a learner-centered educational methodology with emphasis on mastery of key skills. Pictorial, color-coded print materials and a low-cost, high-fidelity neonatal simulator engage learners and empower them to continue learning in the workplace.

Gonzalez Editor New Perspectives on Technology, Values, and Ethics Theoretical and Practical Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science Volume 315 Series editors Alisa Bokulich, Department of Philosophy, Boston University, Boston, MA, USA Robert S. Cohen, Boston University, Watertown, MA, USA Jürgen Renn, Max Planck Institute for the History of Science, Berlin, Germany Kostas Gavroglu, University of Athens, Athens, Greece The series Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science was conceived in the broadest framework of interdisciplinary and international concerns. Natural scientists, mathematicians, social scientists and philosophers have contributed to the series, as have historians and sociologists of science, linguists, psychologists, physicians, and literary critics. The series has been able to include works by authors from many other countries around the world. The editors believe that the history and philosophy of science should itself be scientifi c, self-consciously critical, humane as well as rational, sceptical and undogmatic while also receptive to discussion of fi rst principles. One of the aims of Boston Studies, therefore, is to develop collaboration among scientists, historians and philosophers. Boston Studies in the Philosophy and History of Science looks into and refl ects on interactions between epistemological and historical dimensions in an effort to understand the scientifi c enterprise from every viewpoint.

  • Challenging Hidden Assumptions in Language Teaching

    Challenging Hidden Assumptions in Language Teaching

    LEARN Journal: Language Education and Acquisition Research Network Journal, Volume 12, Issue 1, January 2019 Challenging Hidden Assumptions in Language Teaching Vivian Cook Newcastle University, United Kingdom [email protected] Abstract Much language teaching still depends on assumptions established in the nineteenth century, namely the priority of speech over writing, the maximal use of the target language in the classroom, the rejection of explicit explanation of grammar and the use of the native speaker as the role model for the student. None of these assumptions are supported by contemporary view of second language acquisition: written language has its own characteristics and functions; however much the first language is banned, it is still active in the students’ minds; grammar is a central component of language learning, whether explicit or otherwise; students should aim to be successful second language users, not imitation of native speakers. The assumptions need then to be re-examined in the light of current ideas of second language learning. Keywords: Language Teaching, Hidden Assumptions, Second Language Learning Introduction This paper is the latest version of an argument that I have been trying to develop for some time (for example Cook 1999, 2003, 2010), namely that certain ideas put forward in the late nineteenth century still have a covert influence on much of what goes on in language teaching classrooms. The debate about language teaching methods such as the communicative approach, task-based learning and post-method lack of method (Kumaravadivelu, 2006) seldom deals with these all pervasive underlying ideas and so these aspects of language teaching never change.
  • Classical Ethics in A/IS

    Classical Ethics in A/IS

    The IEEE Global Initiative on Ethics of Autonomous and Intelligent Systems Classical Ethics in A/IS We applied classical ethics methodologies to considerations of algorithmic design in autonomous and intelligent systems (A/IS) where machine learning may or may not reflect ethical outcomes that mimic human decision-making. To meet this goal, we drew from classical ethics theories and the disciplines of machine ethics, information ethics, and technology ethics. As direct control over tools becomes further removed, creators of autonomous systems must ask themselves how cultural and ethical presumptions bias artificially intelligent creations. Such introspection is more necessary than ever because the precise and deliberate design of algorithms in self-sustained digital systems will result in responses based on such design. By drawing from over two thousand years’ worth of classical ethics traditions, we explore established ethics systems, including both philosophical traditions (utilitarianism, virtue ethics, and deontological ethics) and religious and culture-based ethical systems (Buddhism, Confucianism, African Ubuntu traditions, and Japanese Shinto) and their stance on human morality in the digital age.1 In doing so, we critique assumptions around concepts such as good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, and we attempt to carry these inquiries into artificial systems’ decision-making processes. Through reviewing the philosophical foundations that define autonomy and ontology, we address the potential for autonomous capacity of artificially intelligent systems, posing questions of morality in amoral systems and asking whether decisions made by amoral systems can have moral consequences. Ultimately, we address notions of responsibility and accountability for the decisions made by autonomous systems and other artificially intelligent technologies.

Abstract. With the increasing complexity of public affairs, MPA teaching must strengthen the cultivation of both theory and practice. By discussing the course goal, the course duty and the content, the course characteristic and so on, this paper proposes a Governance Risk course design mentality and the pattern based on the practical ability training. Introduction Several catastrophes coping tells us: in today's society, the nature of risk and the environment which leading to risks have been changing [1-3]. The most prominent feature is that the risk formation and evolution is a complex system, resulting in the risk is caused by a variety of complex factors, whether in the existing form, occurrence model and influence scope, both show the characteristics of composite [4], so that the risk is becoming more external and public, more serious and influential which not only changes the Traditional disaster, even made a new disaster [5]. At the same time, the ability of social management is also changing, which is mainly manifested in the propagation mode of emergency, the change of coping style, and the expansion of the vulnerability of social and economic critical system [6,7].
