Item type:Publication, International guidelines on good governance practice for research institutions(Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS), 2023)Scientific research is essential to improve the health and well-being of people around the world, and to respond to health emergencies. Since the 1960s many ethical and professional guidance documents have been adopted, typically focusing on individual researchers’ responsibilities to conduct ethical, good quality scientific studies. But to what extent are researchers given the necessary resources for this purpose at their institutions? These CIOMS guidelines review the existing standards and best practices in the field, and offer research institutions detailed and specific guidance on how to implement them. © The authors © - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, System Over Lebenswelt in Communicative Action: Inner Mechanisms of the Institutionalisation of Advertising(Lithuanian Academy of Sciences, 2025)Garduño, MarianaDrawing from Habermas’ distinction between the system and life-world, the article explores and analyses how advertising operates within both domains, influencing not only the institutional structure but also everyday social interactions, thus providing the framework for the institutionalisation of advertising as a social actor and force in contemporary society. Using Super Bowl commercials to explain the way that they reflect and shape dominant cultural values, and based on George Ritzer’s McDonaldisation, Shoshana Zuboff’s surveillance capitalism, Manuel Castells’ social capital and power dynamics, and Pierre Bourdieu’s concepts of symbolic capital and habitus, the article examines how advertising has evolved beyond its commercial role to become a central institution that shapes behaviours, identities and cultural norms. It highlights the role of advertising in reinforcing social power and cultural capital, which can be identified by the data driven personalisation, narrative control and standardisation that brands use to leverage their power through their commercial narratives. It also addresses critiques of the institutionalisation of advertising which provides an understanding on how advertising functions as a powerful institution that reflects and shapes social realities in the digital and mass consumption era. © The author © Lithuanian Academy of Sciences. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Dynamic effect of legal complexity on the value added tax in Mexico(Economics Bulletin, 2025); ;Mata, Leovardo ;Beltrán, Jaime HumbertoThis paper studies legal complexity and its dynamic relationship with the Value Added Tax Law, from its original version published in 1978 to the current version. To this end, the variables structure, entropy, and interdependence of the legal texts associated with the VAT Law constitute the complexity index. A VAR model then finds evidence of Granger causality between legal complexity and VAT, although no cointegration relationship exists. Furthermore, an inverse relationship between the variables is confirmed, quantifying the short-term effect of legal complexity and comparing it for robustness with the estimation of an ARIMAX and generalized OLS model. © 2025, The authors. © Economics Bulletin.

Item type:Publication, SmilingThis chapter delves into the intricate relationship between smiles, laughter, and human reactions to humor, examining the historical and modern perspectives on these expressions. Traditionally, smiling and laughing were seen as distinct in their moral implications, with smiling often celebrated as classy and tasteful, while laughter was deemed excessive and unpleasant. Recent advancements in neuroscience and psychology, however, challenge this conventional wisdom by revealing different organic underpinnings for these actions and unveiling various types of smiles and laughter. Drawing upon what I call the classical theory of laughter (CTL) and the modern theory of laughter (MTL), I will first explore how our understanding of these phenomena has been reshaped. Then I will argue that despite these transformations, the classical account regarding humoristic laughter remains relevant, and I will highlight the enduring moral implications of these expressions in light of contemporary scientific discoveries. ©The author ©Springer. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Classical Islamic PhilosophyThis chapter explores the role of humor (hazl/muzāḥ) and laughter (ḍāḥik) within the classical Islamic intellectual tradition with special emphasis on the philosophical approach. It provides, first, an overview of some relevant studies dealing with humor and laughter in the Qurʾān and the ḥādīth materials. Then, it deals with joking and laughter in one of the most prominent Islamic theologians, namely, al-Ghazālī. Finally, it moves on to a philosophical approach to humor, joking, and laughter. Even though philosophers in Islamic lands did not treat the various manifestations of humor systematically, in several works they expressed their views in this regard usually in the context of ethical and educational discussions on the shaping of moral character, self-control, the psychology of emotions, and the moral role of poetry. I collect, perhaps for the first time, references on humor and its manifestations from the philosophical works of al-Kindī, al-Abū Bakr Rāzī, al-Fārābī, the Syriac Christian Jacobite Yaḥyā ibn ʿAdī, Miskawayh, and Avicenna. The chapter concludes with a brief comparison between the different approaches to humor and laughter within the Islamic intellectual tradition. ©The author ©Springer. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Episiotomy Decision‐Making and Perceived Consequences: A Qualitative Study From Two Public Hospitals in Mexico(Wiley, 2026) ;Jaimes‐Jiménez, Ithandehui ;Valtierra‐Gutiérrez, Erika Sofia ;González‐De Ita, Rodrigo A. ;Caballero‐Torres, Luis ErnestoGonzález‐Ledesma, ArturoIntroduction: Episiotomy remains a widely performed procedure in many countries, despite international recommendations favoring a restrictive approach. In Mexico, high rates persist in several settings, including public hospitals. Understanding the factors that sustain this practice is key to designing evidence-based respectful birth care strategies. This study aimed to explore healthcare professionals' perspectives on the decision-making process, performance, and perceived consequences of episiotomy, and to engage them in the co-design of behavioral science–informed interventions to promote its restrictive use. Methods: A two-phase qualitative study was conducted in two public hospitals in Mexico, as part of a broader project aimed at promoting the restrictive use of episiotomy. In Phase 1, we conducted 22 semi-structured interviews with maternal health care workers, selected through purposive sampling. Interviews were analyzed inductively using iterative coding and thematic grouping. In Phase 2, group interviews were conducted to discuss findings and collaboratively design interventions for a future pilot quasi-experimental study. Results: Episiotomy decisions are often guided by clinical and preventive considerations. Non-clinical factors, including productivity burdens and training, also contributed to the high rates of episiotomy. Despite the absence of formal institutional monitoring of episiotomy rates, professionals expressed a strong interest in receiving feedback and training. Conclusion: Episiotomy practices in this setting are influenced by clinical, systemic, and educational factors. Addressing potential overuse of episiotomy requires institutional feedback systems, evidence-based training, and strategies to improve dignity in care. Engaging stakeholders through a participatory approach helps ensure that potential interventions are contextually relevant and feasible to implement. ©the authors © Wiley. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Extending computational trinitarianismComputational trinitarianism is the view that a single notion of computation has three different manifestations: in logic as proofs, in typed-calculus as programs, and in category theory as morphisms. This idea has traditionally been closely associated with intuitionistic logic but here we argue that the connection is not exclusive. We provide a logician friendly, self-contained introduction to this topic by presenting the trinities for linear, affine, and relevant logic. The ground we set for that goal is then used to show how to obtain paraconsistent trinities by including the De Morgan negation. ©The author © Oxford University Press. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Intraoperative identification of a left non-recurrent laryngeal nerve by neuromonitoring: a critical anatomical finding—case report(Oxford University Press, 2026) ;Lanzagorta Ortega, Dioselina ;Hernández Martínez, Ana Sofía ;Gómez Woodworth, Juan Ramón ;Peña Garcia, Juan FranciscoMercado Atri, MoisesInjury to the recurrent laryngeal nerve (RLN) and its non-recurrent variant (NRLN) remains one of the most significant complications of thyroid and parathyroid surgery. The NRLN is a rare anatomical variation that arises directly from the cervical vagus nerve without looping into the thoracic cavity, most often associated with an aberrant subclavian artery. Identification of this structure is essential to avoid iatrogenic injury, particularly during thyroidectomy. We report the intraoperative neuromonitoring (IONM) identification of an unexpected non-recurrent left inferior laryngeal nerve; emerging directly from the vagus nerve and coursing horizontally towards the larynx. This case emphasizes the importance of IONM, surgical awareness of anatomical variation to prevent RLN and NRLN injury, and ensuring optimal postoperative laryngeal function. © The authors © Oxford University Press - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, The evolution of craniotomies, from the ancient civilizations to modern warfare: a historical review(Elsevier BV, 2026) ;Cherem-Kibrit, Marcos ;Moreno-Palacios, Jorge ;Zonana-Schatz, Elias ;Romano-Feinholz, SamuelBarron-Cervantes, Natalia MaríaBackground: Craniotomies represent one of the oldest surgical procedures in human history and have evolved significantly through centuries of medical innovation and wartime necessity. From prehistoric trepanation practices to modern neurosurgical interventions, military conflicts have repeatedly accelerated advances in cranial surgery. Methods: This historical review examines the evolution of craniotomies across major historical periods, including prehistoric civilizations, the Renaissance, and modern warfare. Emphasis was placed on the influence of battlefield medicine, technological innovation, and ethical considerations in shaping contemporary neurosurgical practice. Results: Early civilizations such as the Egyptians, Greeks, and Incas performed trepanation for therapeutic, traumatic, and ritualistic purposes, demonstrating surprising procedural sophistication and postoperative survival. During the Renaissance and subsequent military conflicts, including World Wars I and II, the Korean War, Vietnam War, and recent Middle Eastern conflicts, craniotomy techniques rapidly advanced due to the urgent demands of combat-related neurotrauma. Innovations including standardized debridement techniques, mobile neurosurgical units, rapid evacuation systems, neuroimaging, minimally invasive procedures, and robotic-assisted surgery significantly improved survival and neurological outcomes. Modern military neurosurgery additionally recognizes the importance of integrating psychological and rehabilitative care alongside surgical intervention. Conclusions: The evolution of craniotomies reflects the continuous interaction between warfare, technological progress, and medical innovation. Although modern neurosurgery has achieved remarkable precision and improved outcomes, ongoing ethical and logistical challenges remain, particularly in military settings. Understanding the historical development of craniotomies highlights both the resilience of surgical innovation and the enduring pursuit of improved care for patients with traumatic brain injury. © The authors © Elsevier BV. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Sustainable Development and Religious Discourse: A Qualitative Media Framing Analysis of the Karnataka Hijab Issue(University of Nigeria Department of Mass Communication, 2026); ;Venkata Chary, Sri Ramoju Dr ;Singh, RashmiTripathi, SaumayaBackground: India’s cultural identity is deeply rooted in its religious pluralism; however, hardened belief systems can occasionally foster sectarian identities that resist inclusive dialogue. Such rigidity often limits intergroup interaction, particularly among the youth. As both a mirror and a shaper of societal attitudes, the media plays a pivotal role in framing religious discourse. The nature of this coverage has direct implications for the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), specifically SDG 4 (Quality Education), SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities), and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). Objective: This study investigates how religious issues are framed within Indian media discourse, focusing on the Karnataka Hijab controversy. It evaluates whether media coverage advanced exclusive ideological lines or contributed to an inclusive, pluralistic understanding of the event. Methodology: The research utilised a qualitative content analysis of secondary data from two leading Indian newspapers, The Hindu and The Deccan Herald. The analysis focused on identifying framing patterns and the degree to which these reports reflected or exacerbated socio-political tensions. Results: The findings underscore the influential role of the media in disseminating religious discourse and shaping the perceptions of the youth. The results indicate that media representations often reflect the broader socio-political tensions within Indian society, highlighting the challenges of maintaining neutrality in reporting on religious conflicts. Conclusion: This paper offers a critical reflection on the representation of religious discourses during the Karnataka Hijab controversy, which began in December 2021. This event was particularly significant as it unfolded within a secular educational institution—an environment traditionally perceived as neutral and unifying—rather than a religious setting. Unique Contribution: This study contributes to the global discourse on advancing inclusive societies as envisioned in the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. It provides empirical evidence of how media framing can impact social cohesion and the implementation of SDGrelated educational values. Key Recommendation: Educational institutions should reaffirm their commitment to constitutional secularism and remain insulated from communal influences. Furthermore, academic environments must promote constitutional literacy and ethical media engagement to counter polarisation and reinforce pluralistic values within the education system. ©The authors © University of Nigeria Department of Mass Communication.
