How representative are referendums? Evidence from 20 years of Swiss referendums
2017
Direct democracy allows citizens to reverse decisions made by legislatures and even initiate new laws which parliaments are unwilling to pass, thereby, as its proponents argue, leading to more representative policies than would have obtained under a purely representative democracy. Yet, turnout in referendums is usually lower than in parliamentary elections and tends to be skewed towards citizens of high socio-economic status. Consequently, critics of direct democracy argue that referendum outcomes may not be representative of the preferences of the population at large. We test this assertion using a compilation of post-referendum surveys encompassing 148 national referendums held in Switze…
Genome-wide association studies identify 137 genetic loci for DNA methylation biomarkers of aging
2021
Abstract Background Biological aging estimators derived from DNA methylation data are heritable and correlate with morbidity and mortality. Consequently, identification of genetic and environmental contributors to the variation in these measures in populations has become a major goal in the field. Results Leveraging DNA methylation and SNP data from more than 40,000 individuals, we identify 137 genome-wide significant loci, of which 113 are novel, from genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analyses of four epigenetic clocks and epigenetic surrogate markers for granulocyte proportions and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 levels, respectively. We find evidence for shared genetic loci ass…
The Understanding of Human Rights and Rule of Law from the Perspective of Kohlberg’s Theory
2015
Human rights, democracy and the rule of law are considered to be the foundations of the normative order of modern societies (Habermas, 1996). Even though the universal validity of human rights is often criticized, they represent an ethical minimum consensus of the global society as conventions on human rights have been ratified by more than 150 states.
¿Naturalizar la idea de justicia? Una respuesta crítica desde la teoría moral de Jürgen Habermas
2017
The aim of this paper is to study critically, with the help of Habermas´s moral theory, the current naturalistic approach to morality —which is based on both the evolutionary theory and neuroscience—. In doing so it will be explained the specifically moral use of practical reason, as Habermas propose; it will be compared this moral use with Kohlberg's postconventional stage of moral development; and it will be claimed that naturalistic approach cannot explain this stage, that can be understood as specific justice area.

Pontificia Universidad Católica Argentina; Argentina Resum: La majoria dels articles publicats al voltant de les aportacions de Lawrence Kohlberg fan referència fonamentalment a la seua faceta com a investigador del desenvolupament moral més que al seu enfocament de l’educació moral. En aquest treball s’exposen les principal…

Reconstructing Moral Development—Kohlberg Meets Oevermann
2015
Biography and biographical research are also part of the work of the late Lawrence Kohlberg. Coming from developmental research in terms of morality, i.e. justice, at the end of his career he became interested in some holistic (biographical) concepts of development, putting different research traditions such as those represented by Erik H. Erikson, James Marcia, William Perry and others and his own research together. It is in this direction that we are going to focus our research.
Identifying Host Molecular Features Strongly Linked With Responses to Huanglongbing Disease in Citrus Leaves
2018
© 2018 Balan, Ibáñez, Dandekar, Caruso and Martinelli. A bioinformatic analysis of previously published RNA-Seq studies on Huanglongbing (HLB) response and tolerance in leaf tissues was performed. The aim was to identify genes commonly modulated between studies and genes, pathways and gene set categories strongly associated with this devastating Citrus disease. Bioinformatic analysis of expression data of four datasets present in NCBI provided 46–68 million reads with an alignment percentage of 72.95–86.76%. Only 16 HLB-regulated genes were commonly identified between the three leaf datasets. Among them were key genes encoding proteins involved in cell wall modification such as CESA8, pecti…
Voiko etiikkaa opettaa : etiikan opetettavuuden tarkastelua Lawrence Kohlbergin, D. Z. Phillipsin ja Martha C. Nussbaumin ajattelun valossa

VOIKO ETIIKKAA OPETTAA? Etiikan opetettavuuden tarkastelua Lawrence Kohlbergin, D. Z. Phillipsin ja Martha C. Nus- sabumin ajattelun valossa Vesa Nuorva Filosofia Pro gradu –tutkielma Yhteiskuntatieteiden ja filosofian laitos Ohjaaja: Professori Mikko Yrjönsuuri Kevät 2016 129 sivua Tutkimuksen tehtävänä oli selvittää etiikan opetuksen mahdollisuutta ja mielekkyyttä yleissivistä- vässä ja ammatillisessa koulutuksessa Suomessa. Näitä koulutuksia säätelevät lait edellyttävät, että oppilaista tulee eettisesti hyvin käyttäytyviä ja vastuullisia kansalaisia. Tutkimuksen näkökulma ei kuitenkaan ole ollut etiikan opetuksessa pedagogisena prosessina, vaan etiikan opetettavuu…
