Abstract The purpose of this article is to show that animal rights are not necessarily at odds with the use animals for research. If hold basic moral similar those humans, then we should consequently extend ethical requirements guiding research humans animals. spells out how can be done in practice by applying seven proposed Ezekiel Emanuel, David Wendler, and Christine Grady These (1) social value, (2) scientific validity, (3) independent review, (4) fair subject selection, (5) favorable...
Vulnerability has been extensively discussed in medical research, but less so health care. Thus, who the vulnerable this domain are still remains an open question. One difficulty their identification is due to general criticism that vulnerability not a property of only some, rather everyone. By presenting philosophical analysis conditions ascription, we show these seemingly irreconcilable understandings contradictory. Rather, they interdependent: refer same concept with different likelihoods...
Abstract In the literature on medical ethics, it is generally admitted that vulnerable persons or groups deserve special attention, care protection. One can define as those having a greater likelihood of being wronged – is, denied adequate satisfaction certain legitimate claims. The conjunction these two points entails what we call Special Protection Thesis. It asserts with their claims Such thesis remains vague, however, long do not know are. This article aims at dispelling this vagueness...
Abstract While human vulnerability has been discussed for some time in the contemporary philosophy and bioethics literature, animal received less attention. In this article, I investigate whether concept of vulnerability, as it is currently used bioethics, can be meaningfully extended to animals. Furthermore, discuss ethical implications ascribing animals show what discourse add debates on ethics. a first step, analyse conditions ascription. By taking my basis definition presented by Martin,...
ABSTRACT Following in the wake of Benedict Anderson's work particular, cultural geographers and studies scholars have analyzed nation nationalism as primarily 'imagined' or abstract entities. Coincidentally, greatest analytic attention has been given to nationalist representations place, rather than everyday discursive practices constitutive lived. Drawing on Pierre Bourdieu's practice theory, this paper I develop beginnings a corporeal approach nation. Here relationship between identity...
Induction of the lactose-galactose regulon is strongly repressed by glucose in some but not all strains Kluyveromyces lactis. We show here that strains, two to three times less Kl-GAL4 mRNA synthesized and expression structural genes such as LAC4, gene for beta-galactosidase, down regulated 40-fold or more. Comparative analysis having a strong weak repression phenotype revealed two-base difference promoter (also called LAC9) positive regulatory gene. This responsible versus phenotype. The...
In May 1992, I traveled to the Republic of Ireland for first time. was a graduate student in anthropology, living small rural community West Ireland and studying local devotional practices associated with Virgin Mary. newly arrived, inexperienced ethnographer country that throes enormous moral and political change as result recent events which knew little at best. At time did not feel equal tremendous task interpreting effect of massive national on lived. couldn’t see what Mary might have do...
Despite higher reported rates of mental ill-health than the general population, professionals working in animal care industry have low help-seeking behavior. Potential factors involved veterinary professionals' reluctance to seek help include stigma toward ill-health, practical barriers accessing supports, and a cultural normalization symptoms industry. This preliminary study sought explore these sample veterinarians, nurses, technicians examine effects gender, years' experience, practice...
Ibuprofen is commonly used by warfighters in the deployed environment. This study investigated its dose effects on vitro coagulation human and pig blood.Blood samples were collected from 6 normal volunteers healthy pigs processed to make platelet-adjusted (100 × 10(3)/μL, common transfusion trigger trauma). was added at concentrations of 0 μg/mL (control), concentration highest recommended oral (163 μg/mL, 1×), 2×, 4×, 8×, 10×, 12×, 16×, 20×. Platelet aggregation Chrono-Log aggregometer...
The GAL4 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisiae and the LAC9 Kluyveromyces lactis are transcription activator proteins with similar structure function. Greatest similarity occurs in C region near carboxy terminus, where 16 18 amino acids identical. function is unclear. Here we show that structural reflected functional similarity. Single acid changes create a phenotype: constitutive gene expression. In S. phenotype caused by mutants can be abolished overproduction GAL80. These results support...

This paper describes a novel approach to implementing the ISO 45003 Psychological Health and Safety at Work Standard using an adaptation of health guideline implementation strategy. The used combination teams facilitated planning process assist organisational stakeholders develop plan for 45003. Six organisations from regional part Australia participated in case study research project. A total 29 semi-structured interviews were conducted with team members, two different time points,...
