    Diversité des droits dans la quête de la sécurité humaine

    Full text link
    La sécurité humaine est tributaire de tous les secteurs de la vie humaine. Elle se trouve confrontée à l’immensité de l’insécurité multiforme : l’absence d’une politique adéquate de planning familial, dans une approche plutôt qualitative que quantitative, l’insécurité alimentaire que nutritionnelle, l’insécurité sociale des travailleurs comme l’insécurité militaire créée par multiples menaces à la paix et par des violences inhumaines de toutes sortes. Cet ouvrage contribue offre l’information adéquate et pratique sur différentes catégories de droits partagés dans le cadre d’une mondialisation aussi bien unitaire que plurielle. L’ouvrage s’adresse surtout aux Pouvoirs Publics pour l’adoption d’une politique cohérente et souple, emprunte des évidences de fait et de droit,en vigueur ou à légiférer. L’auteur présente ici un laboratoire spécifique et holistique d’idées en matière de la sécurité humaine

    Vacuna contra covid-19 : autonomía y responsabilidad social

    Full text link
    The fight against covid-19 invites us to reflection and social change. The great scientific technological advance applied to medicine has made it possible for us to have vaccines that turn out to be our only weapon against covid-19. Which, as it is a relatively new, variable disease with no cure, is a cause for concern in societies and that has filled the population with doubts about the decision to get immunized or not. Since the vaccines became available speculation and information crossovers have increased, causing completely justified fear. Reason that drives many to refuse to receive it, making full use of respect for the fundamental principles of autonomy and freedom. While it is true, no one can force anyone to take a treatment. However, the common good and the advantages that we would have if we achieved complete immunization cannot be ignored. Governments have made their effort to guarantee public safety and protection. However, the information regarding vaccines must be timely,accurate and clear to guide us in making a responsible decision, respecting our rights and acting in search of the greatest social good

    La biohermenéutica de Jesús Conill : una alternativa a la naturalización y tecnologización de la vida

    Full text link
    The continous development of biotechnology and of philosophical transhuman proposals have questioned the existance of human nature. To state or deny a human nature is the necessary pretext to modify technologically the human being and take it to a new Project of being: the bioartfactual. The present analysis reflects on human nature from the perspective of biohermeneutics proposed by Jesús Conill in his work. “Corporal intimacy and human person”. Fort he spanish philosopher, critical hermeneutics represent an alternative answer to the naturalization and techonlogization efforts of life. Two paths have to be walked to formulate a proposal. The first one, to take on the concept of “human nature” from a interpretive perspective, with the intention of correcting the notions of substance and essence. The second one, to advance the experience of corporal intimacy as a way to understand the human person and the value of it’s dignity. In this way, it is expected, that the efforts to winnow oroutgrow the traditional notion of human nature, will be reflected in an autonomous moral that qualifies the person to judge it’s own actions and the actions of others. Just as Zubiri and Laín had taught, being a person is a Project of appropiation and self delivery

    Informatización del registro y la evaluación de los comités de ética en investigación : experiencia en el ámbito de la ciudad de Buenos Aires, Argentina

    Full text link
    Including health research in a publicly accessible registry provides transparency and reliability for all stakeholders. With this in mind, a transformation process was carried out in the way Research Ethics Committees (RECs) perform their activity in Buenos Aires City, Argentina. In 2019 the Computerized Registry Platform for Health Research of the City of Buenos Aires (PRIISA.BA) was developed. Through it, the ethical and methodological evaluation of the protocols is managed, until the effective issuance of the Committees’ opinion.The platform allows REC to make observations and interact with principal investigators and sponsors. After a study is approved or rejected, it is incorporated into a public access registry. Since its use is mandatory, experience has shown that underreporting has been eliminated, providing the RECs with a management and communication tool, which facilitates their activity. The objective of this work is to share the experience and review the different stages of the process, through which the use of the platform was developed, implemented and consolidated for all the research ethics committees of the public and private sector, from the Ministry of Health of the City of Buenos Aires

    Yo soy, el Señor, tu médico (Éxodo 15, 26) : Biblia, salud, y medicina

    Full text link
    The formulation of public policies for the health of citizens must dialogue with the problems and dilemmas of the context. Bioethics and ethical action must generate awareness in the processes of social change. A leader with these traits was Jesus of Nazareth, recognized as a doctor or healer in the first century, who put health at the center of social justice. The narrative method uncovers the suffering of Palestinian society under Roman rule. Justice and law seem attainable only with a violent change of powers. Jesus chose a path other than violence, he went through towns and villages like a doctor, and the simple people showed the people whom he healed and gave back their dignity and identity. Jesus was interested in the physical health of human beings; is the meaning of the word “savior”. The leading role of bioethics and health in human history appears in ancestral culture, in the gospels and, in the Bible, it is a trait of God the Creator, it is enough to bring the concluding sentence of Exodus 15, 26, which Martin Luther translated: “I am, the Lord, your physician”

    Full text link
    Ce livre rassemble les enjeux géopolitiques et géoéconomiques du réalisme politique dans le contexte africain. Pour réussir dans la vie politique, il faut un mélange de détermination, d’éthique, d’équité, de prégnance et surtout de persévérance. Il ne suffit pas d’avoir une idée claire de ce que l’on veut, encore faut-il trouver les moyens de réaliser son objectif. Pour être efficient, le réalisme lucide recommande des moyens éprouvés de survie collective. Un pays devrait se doter de dirigeants compétents et non poursuivre des utopies sans principe du bien socialement établi. Transposant les préceptes de l’éducation du dirigeant réaliste classique au contexte africain, voici toute l’entreprise de l’auteur qui peint un tableau splendide du bon leader, de sa capacité d’anticipation, de décision et de son caractère intègre. Un vrai manuel pour comprendre la notion d’équilibre des pouvoirs à l’usage du leadership politique

    Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 : teaching, research and training. Vol. 2, Asia, Australia, Russia and America

    No full text
    The Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 (GSBE) incorporates the full 36 country or regional reports that were collated over three years of investigation by 94 reporters. The sheer volume of content required the publication of three volumes. This second volume is collated as follows: Volume 2: Short introduction to the Global Survey of Business Ethics 2022-2024 and the reports from Asia, Australia, Russia, South and North America. While volume 1 and volume 3 present the country reports from one continent, that is, from Africa and Europe, respectively, in contrast, this volume 2 contains 13 reports from five continents and includes seven from the ten most populous countries on Earth (Worldometers 2024): India (1,428,627,663), China (1,425,671,352), United States 339,996,563), Indonesia(277,534,122), Brazil (216,422,446), Russia (144,444,359) and Mexico (128,455,567). Adding the most populous country in volume 1, that is, Nigeria with 223,804,632 people, the GSBE book includes a total of 4,184,976,704 people or ca. 52% of the world population (8,118,835,999). Given this enormous population, the reports in this volume can only provide some tiny, but not insignificant insights of the huge diversity of challenges and opportunities in the field of business ethics. The reports are presented in this volume and include Mainland China, Hong Kong, Macau, Japan, Indonesia, Philippines, India, Australia, Russia, Latin America, Brazil, United States, and Mexico
