Summary: This paper discusses the importance of expert communication in scientific integrity codes and introduces a new ethical framework, emphasizing that expert communication should be viewed as an intrinsically ethical activity of a deliberative agent. It points out that expert communication involves moral trade-offs, and ethicality cannot be ensured simply by complying with various requirements.

Summary: As the world population ages rapidly, attention to the care of the elderly becomes crucial. The loss of dignity is a common concern associated with aging, due to conditions such as dementia and mobility issues. However, the concept of dignity is often deemed useless by some ethicists. To address this, the authors propose four concepts to better define and accurately utilize the notion of dignity. The importance of solicitude and human dignity in geriatric care is also emphasized, aiming to ensure respect, friendship, and dignity for the elderly.

Summary: The care for women in the sex trade with substance use disorder (SUD) poses ethical challenges. The proposed framework, focusing on autonomy, power, and place, aims to improve ethical clinical care for these individuals seeking SUD treatment. By considering relational autonomy, power relations in clinical settings, and geographical analysis, this framework provides guidance on creating space for those with sex trade experience in substance use treatment facilities. The practical applications of this framework address the clinical and ethical gap in providing better care for marginalized women in the sex trade.

Summary: Through our study of the top 100 largest multinational companies worldwide, we have discovered that approximately one-third of these companies have started using letters to stakeholders, which adopt a multi-stakeholder orientation. Our findings demonstrate that letters to stakeholders are positively related to firms' willingness to engage with multiple stakeholders and that they welcome stakeholder recognition, support, and dialogue. This positions letters to stakeholders as a promising tool and approach in corporate communication, improving the legitimacy and moral consideration of stakeholders.

Summary: This article investigates how residents in England and Scotland enacted, understood, or criticized (the lack of) solidarity during the first national lockdown in the United Kingdom in April 2020. It finds that although solidarity was practiced by some people, the perceived lack of solidarity was just as pronounced. The authors conclude that actual practices of solidarity are poorly understood, despite the importance of solidarity for public health and policy.

Summary: This study analyzes descriptions of moral stress among Swedish healthcare workers, refining a definition through conceptual analysis. Three main themes emerged: feeling prevented from acting, hindered by organizational obstacles, and pandemic-related hindrances. The study argues for the importance of framing the concept of moral stress to develop prevention measures for negative outcomes.

The research findings suggest that the presence of a critical mass of women on the board of directors significantly increases the likelihood of establishing a sustainability committee within organizations, highlighting the universal importance of gender diversity in driving sustainable governance initiatives.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the views on euthanasia and its variants among medical students and residents in Brazil, and to explore the correlation between these views, empathy, religiosity/spiritualism, and the stages of medical training. The results showed that the refusal rates for passive euthanasia, active euthanasia, dysthanasia, and assisted suicide increased with longer medical training. Religious belief and empathy did not significantly influence the opinion about these concepts.

Summary: In 1999, Bangladesh introduced the Human Organ Transplantation Act allowing organ transplants from brain-dead and living-related donors. The law was later amended in 2018 to include certain distant relatives in the donor lists. The study found that potential donors may not always be available or suitable for transplantation, and amending the regulation to permit unrelated donations could contribute to organ selling and buying.

Summary: Several studies have shown that people tend to make more utilitarian decisions in virtual reality than in standard questionnaires. However, the existing explanation based on the visual salience of harmful consequences is not coherent with the predictions of the moral judgment dual-process account. This paper presents two original VR studies that test the robustness of the increased utilitarian tendency and find the proposed explanation inadequate.

Summary: This study provides an in-depth examination of the relationship between environmental, social, and governance (ESG) performance and idiosyncratic volatility in Korean companies. The findings suggest that strong ESG performance is associated with a reduction in firm-specific volatility, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. Companies with strong ESG performance in ESG-sensitive industries are particularly effective at mitigating idiosyncratic volatility. These findings highlight the importance of ESG enhancement for firm managers and policymakers.
