Human subject research

recently appointed as director of research within my department, myself and my team attend the National Institute of Helath Office of Extramural Research online training course on the basics of human subject research protection issues. After completing the program, I take back to my team and constituents what protocols will be in place to protect the key ethical issues of human subject research. We will examine the following areas regarding human subject research: research fraud, remaining ethical, no harm to participants, informed consent and confidentiality. As with any type of research, whether it is social science driven, one of the greatest expectations is to refrain from plagiarizing and the use of fraud. For example, the…

Recent scholars have proposed that prisoners be used as research subjects in clinical trials requiring human subjects. Scholars suggest this in order to address the problem of using non-ideal research participants and not having enough research participants to satisfy a study. Finding research participants is a lengthy process, including sufficiently explaining the potential risks and benefits of a study, getting informed consent, and maintaining the participants for the entire duration of the…

as social differences, are perceived through research and studies in a negative manner. Gender, race, socioeconomic status, and income are one many examples of social differences that exist. Through articles that we have read in the past, it could be arguably be seen that the question of race and gender alone are motivation for medical professions to conduct research to distinguish and/or create a type of person out of the spectrum that society have created.

People still have access to news outlets such as MSNBC, Fox News, and CNN, but also a person can get news from their conspiracy theorist friend on Facebook. With a smorgasbord of choices, people need to be aware of three categories…

four year old kid I had started kindergarten and my writing career had took off fast! When my teacher first started to teach us how to write, we started with learning all of the letters and writing all the small simple words that young kids do when we are first taught to read and write, such as cat, dog, cow and pig. At this stage I had thought that reading and writing was the best thing in the world because they were so new and strange to me! It was just one of those things that I wanted to…

children in the baseline task must be coded for a passive or active voice structure response. Responses are to be considered active if they follow the sentence structure of agent + transitive verb + patient. The agent is the ‘doer’ of the action and the patient is the object or being something gets done to. For example, “the man kicked the ball” follows the above mentioned sentence structure, and would therefore be considered active. Responses that were transitive in nature and omitted the…

all truths are “errors”, Gadamer’s view that all understanding involves interpretation, his notion of “effective historical consciousness” and Schott’s critical stance when finally, I will add my own personal thoughts on how understanding involves interpretation. Nietzsche says that all truths are “errors” that human beings find useful. He states that “Truth is the kind of error without which a certain species of life could not live. The value of life is ultimately decisive”. There are no…

devices can be useful aids in the classroom, if—and only if—they are used correctly. They are a quick and efficient way to jot down information. More importantly, everything the professor explains is taken down word-for-word, which allows the student to draw themselves back to the class when they review the notes at a later time. Every crucial detail would, without a doubt, be included in the notes since everything is recorded. Moreover, topics that are being explained by the lecturer can be…
