Ethical dilemmas as professional challenge : case study on management in reception centers in Finland
2017
This study examined what kinds of ethical dilemmas managers working in reception centers in Finland have encountered as well as what kinds of strategies they applied in ethically challenging situations, and finally, what ethical dimensions the strategies included. This specific topic has not been investigated before, thus, this study aimed to theoretically and empirically examine it. Theoretical framework bases on Geva’s (2006) typology of ethical dilemmas, Jones’ (1991) issue- contingent model of moral intensity, and Rahim & Bonoma’s (1979) model of the styles of handling interpersonal conflict. The study is qualitative in nature, and was conducted by interviewing ten (10) managers working…
Reporting in Conflict Zones in Pakistan: Risks and Challenges for Fixers
2020
As a backbone of reporting in war and conflicts, fixers offer essential assistance to the foreign correspondent in conflict zones, also in Pakistan. With valuable local knowledge and contacts, fixers can arrange travel to secure entry of foreign correspondents into conflict zones in addition to securing interviews with otherwise unattainable figures, while offering reliable translation services. Pakistani media, despite being one of the largest and most developed in South Asia, remains under the strict control of powerful military establishment and government, while seeming to mirror the overarching government sentiment with a distinct lack of research-based news. Challenging this state of …
¿Por qué la mediación es un buen instrumento para resolver conflictos civiles en tiempos de COVID-19 y post-COVID-19?
2020
El colapso generado por la pandemia del COVID-19 en el funcionamiento de la Administracion de Justicia por la suspension de las actuaciones judiciales junto con la prevision de un aumento de la litigiosidad provocada por la situacion economica derivada de la misma han propiciado la necesidad de replantear los sistemas actuales de tutela judicial. Desde el ambito interno se esta propiciando por el Consejo General del Poder Judicial la incorporacion efectiva de la mediacion como cauce de resolucion de los conflictos. Situaciones de crisis de la justicia como la actual deben ser determinantes para el impulso efectivo de la mediacion como via idonea para la gestion y solucion de conflictos civi…
Genomic conflicts and sexual antagonism in human health: Insights from oxytocin and testosterone
2015
We review the hypothesized and observed effects of two of the major forms of genomic conflicts, genomic imprinting and sexual antagonism, on human health. We focus on phenotypes mediated by peptide and steroid hormones (especially oxytocin and testosterone) because such hormones centrally mediate patterns of physical and behavioral resource allocation that underlie both forms of conflict. In early development, a suite of imprinted genes modulates the human oxytocinergic system as predicted from theory, with paternally inherited gene expression associated with higher oxytocin production, and increased solicitation to mothers by infants. This system is predicted to impact health through the i…

Pedagogiczny wymiar sądowego rozstrzygania konfliktów rodzinnych
2017
Przedmiotem rozważań są zagadnienia wychowawcze związane z rozpoznawaniem przez sąd spraw dotyczących konfliktów rodzinnych. Konflikty są nieodzownym elementem życia zbiorowego ludzi. Stwarzają jednak zagrożenie dla trwałości środowiska rodzinnego, kiedy relacje między jego członkami stają się zaburzone. W sytuacji niemożności uzyskania satysfakcjonującego porozumienia, obniżają poczucie zadowolenia z jakości tworzonego związku. Tym samym negatywnie wpływają na realizacje funkcji rodziny, zwłaszcza emocjonalnej i socjalizacyjnej. Dziecko w takim środowisku narażone jest na nieprawidłowy proces przystosowania społecznego. Zwłaszcza wtedy, gdy zostaje uwikłane w konflikt między rodzicami. W p…
Biocultural conflicts: understanding complex interconnections between a traditional ceremony and threatened carnivores in north Kenya
2022
Abstract Biological and cultural diversity are inextricably linked and rapidly eroding worldwide. As a response, many conservation efforts foster synergies between cultural and biological diversity agendas through biocultural approaches. However, such approaches do not always address biocultural conflicts, where certain cultural practices can lead to biodiversity loss and, in turn, threaten the continuance of such practices. In this study, we examined a biocultural conflict in the Dimi ceremony, the most important rite of passage of the Daasanach agro-pastoralists of north Kenya, in which skins from threatened carnivore species are used extensively as traditional ornaments. We quantified th…
Assessing tolerance for wildlife: human-elephant conflict in Chimanimani, Mozambique
2020
Human–elephant conflict (HEC) is a common problem for rural populations in sub-Saharan Africa. Recent studies have shown that willingness to tolerate wildlife is largely a function of perceived risks and benefits, but most technical assessments are limited to the immediate cause of the conflict and neglect the broader socioeconomic and political contexts. Based on two sets of interviews, this article provides a socioeconomic analysis of HEC in the buffer zone of Chimanimani National Reserve in Mozambique. Although traditional methods to scare off elephants were found to have little effect, a beehive fence introduced in 2016 initially appeared to be successful. However, follow-up three years…
The Positive Spiral Between Problem-Solving Management and Trust: A Study in Organizations for Individuals With Intellectual Disability
2021
To achieve their goals, organizations for individuals with intellectual disability have to stimulate high-quality relationships between professionals and family members. Therefore, achieving professionals’ trust in family members has become a challenge. One relevant factor in explaining professional’s trust in families is the degree to which family members use the “problem-solving” conflict management strategy (high concern for oneself but also for the other party) in their disputes–disagreements with professionals. It is reasonable to argue that when family members use problem-solving conflict management, professionals’ trust increases. Professionals’ trust, in turn, stimulates the use of …
