T1 - Privacy, personal data protection, and the need to differentiate T2 - Ethics of New Information Technology. Proceedings of the 6th International Conference of Computer Ethics: Philosophical Enquiries (CEPE2005) N2 - The coming years will be characterized by the development of mobile ICT that will enable con - sumers to use information and communication services everywhere and anytime. Technologies like GPRS, WLAN, or UMTS can be used stand-alone or in combination with other technologies like RFID or GPS to provide, for instance, location-aware services. Mobile ICT is to be expected to evolve to that what often is called Ambient Intelligence, Ubiquitous or Pervasive Computing. It is likely that such new technologies will affect personnel privacy because providing mobile ICT services inherits the identification and often the exact localization of users. In the following text we shall analyze possible threats of privacy. We will distinguish different dimensions or aspects of privacy to show how new technologies can affect them. After that, we shall argue that it is necessary to make a distinction of privacy and data protection: privacy primarily is a matter of social norms and data protection the realm of technical measurements. Additionally, we will provide some empirical evidence that users of the Internet make that distinction. Finally, we will claim that the right to privacy and privacy itself only can be protected if there are widely accepted social norms regarding privacy.

ED - Milford, Karl ED - Miller, David T1 - Science Wars – Remarks from a Critical Rationalist's Point of View T2 - Karl Popper: A Centenary Assessment. Volume II: Metaphysics and epistemology N2 - In this text I would like to make some remarks on the so called ‘Science Wars’ from a Critical Rationalist’s point of view. First I will describe the beginning of this war, which was given public awareness by Alan Sokal in 1996 publishing his text Transgressing the Boundaries. Toward a transformative Hermeneutics of Quantum Gravity in the postmodernist journal Social Text. In 1997 Alan Sokal, together with Jean Bricmont, again attacked postmodernist and poststructuralist scholars with the book Impostures Intellectuelles. I will describe the aims of their book and in addition portray briefly the postmodernist relativistic epistemology. Since Sokal and Bricmont identify Critical Rationalism as a source of that relativism, I then will show possible reasons for this reproach. I will reject their critique, since it is based on false estimations about Critical Rationalism but I also will show that there are some good reasons to criticize Critical Rationalism. As a kind of conclusion I will argue that in the future it is necessary that Critical Rationalists will dispute more offensively against postmodernist thinking to prevent a deepening of the gap between the humanities and science and because science is an important means to the improvement of our society.

The purpose of this paper is to provide an outline of how core values of the health systems, such as the principles of biomedical ethics, are in a supportive or conflicting relation to cybersecurity. Design/methodology/approach This paper claims that it is possible to map the desiderata relevant to cybersecurity onto the four principles of medical ethics, i.e. beneficence, non-maleficence, autonomy and justice, and explore value conflicts in that way. Findings With respect to the question of how these principles should be balanced, there are reasons to think that the priority of autonomy relative to beneficence and non-maleficence in contemporary medical ethics could be extended to value conflicts in health-related cybersecurity. Research limitations/implications However, the tension between autonomy and justice, which relates to the desideratum of usability of information and communication technology systems, cannot be ignored even if one assumes that respect for autonomy should take priority over other moral concerns. Originality/value In terms of value conflicts, most discussions in healthcare deal with the conflict of balancing efficiency and privacy given the sensible nature of health information. In this paper, the authors provide a broader and more detailed outline.

Der Abbruchanteil für die immunmodulatorische Basistherapie mit COPAXONE® betrug 2008 in den ersten drei Monaten bis zu 30 % (COPAKTIV Schwestern-Service, 2008), worauf das Aktiv-mit-MS-Patientenbetreuungsprogramm, eine begleitende pflegerische Fachberatung und ein Servicetelefon, installiert wurde. Die Auswirkungen der Zusammenarbeit innerhalb des Teams und mit Ärzt/innen sowie die peer-to-peer Beratung in einem Online-Forum auf Therapietreue und Krankheitsbewältigung der Patient/innen wurde im Längsschnitt untersucht. Ein Methoden-Mix wurde erfolgreich zur Evaluation der pflegerischen Multiprofessionalität eingesetzt. Es zeigte sich, dass die Angebote im Betreuungsprogramm zu einer Verminderung der Abbruchquote führten und die Patient/innen eine gute Therapietreue einhalten.

One conclusion that can be drawn from the case studies described for RRI is that the conscious steering of innovations fails because of diffuse and uncoordinated resistance from very different stakeholders. The case studies also suggest that the effectiveness of RRI might be rather limited.

Eine disruptive Strategie bei der Einführung (voll-)automatisierten Fahrens könnte daher auf fehlende Akzeptanz treffen. Um dem zu entgehen, laufen evolutionäre Strategien darauf hinaus, durch die Entwicklung adaptiver Fahrassistenzsysteme Vertrautheit, Vertrauen und damit Akzeptanz bei den prospektiven NutzerInnen zu schaffen. Erste Ergebnisse einer Pilotstudie lassen jedoch Zweifel an der Nachhaltigkeit dieser Strategie aufkommen.
