  • Social Determinants to Real FreedomsAn Empirical Development of the Capabilities Approach

    Creator:
    Trujillo, Michael A.
    Abstract:
    In the Capabilities Approach literature “capabilities” are the real freedoms individuals possess to achieve certain “functionings,” which are the doings and beings that constitute a good life. I argue that this approach requires, or at least can benefit from, an account of the psychosocial mechanisms involved in capability limitation. The...

  • A Bayesian Treatise on the Replication Crisis in Science

    Creator:
    Gibson, True E.
    Abstract:
    Over the past decade, it has come to light that many published scientific findings cannot be reproduced. This has led to the replication crisis in science. Many researchers feel that they can no longer trust much of what they read in scientific journals, and the public is becoming ever more...

  • The pen as mighty as the microscope : ethical issues in science and medical journalism

    Creator:
    Moser, Jennifer C.
    Abstract:
    Science is difficult for even its researchers to understand. Science journalists must understand scientific discoveries well enough to write clear, accurate explanations of scientific discoveries for laypeople. A sense of ethical judgment will help journalists ensure that their accounts are reliable and appropriate. Responsible science journalists will maintain a working...

  • Moral Truth and Hume's Fork: The Prospects of Reconciliation

    Creator:
    Embleton, Clark A.
    Abstract:
    Hume’s division of truth into agreement with matters of fact or relations of ideas casts doubt on our capacity to have moral knowledge, as moral propositions do not seem to fall obviously into either category. This thesis looks at how two views, ‘descriptive moral functionalism’ and ‘moral concept essentialism’, try...

  • Moral Disagreement and Moral Genealogy : Two Sources of Empirically-Based Epistemological Challenges to Robust Realism

    Creator:
    Pho, Alexander
    Abstract:
    I defend robust realism from arguments that raise epistemological challenges to it based on considerations about either moral disagreement or the genealogy of our moral beliefs. The first argument is the “Argument from Conciliationism,” which contends that the moral disagreements that obtain between moral peers give us reason to believe...

  • Toward a more ethical engineering : four habits of highly ethical engineering practice

    Creator:
    Sugie, Masayuki Luke
    Abstract:
    In this thesis, I conduct an analysis of paradigmatic background assumptions deployed in engineering decision-making processes, in order to understand how these assumptions, operating tacitly and in tension with each other, contribute to decisions that are ethically less effective and less substantial than they would otherwise be. I do so...

  • The Impact of Malolactic Fermentation Conducted by Oenococcus oeni on Brettanomyces bruxellensis Growth and Volatile Phenol Production

    Creator:
    Lauderdale, Adam D.
    Abstract:
    Wine is particularly vulnerable to infection by Brettanomyces bruxellensis during or shortly after malolactic fermentation (MLF). While different methods and techniques enable winemakers to prevent wine spoilage due to this organism, no single intervention is universally sufficient. Moreover application of sulfur dioxide, the most commonly used of these methods, is...
