‘No expectations’: straight men's sexual and moral identity-making in non-monogamous dating

This article juxtaposes the discursive strategies of two groups of heterosexual men in the context of non-monogamous internet-mediated dating in Belgium, notably men who are open about their extra-dyadic sexual practices and 'cheating' men. The analysis shows that regardless of the men's use of openness or discretion to construct narratives of sexual identity, morality and care, their accounts seem to be deeply intertwined with monogamist and gendered ideas on sex, care and commitment, which serves to define a largely uncaring and consumeristic dating culture. The article argues that attentiveness to power inequalities should be the main focus of 'ethical' non-monogamy

The role of routine intravenous urography in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

The plain abdominal radiographs and intravenous urograms of 72 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism were reviewed. Renal tract calcification was detected on plain abdominal radiographs in 27 patients (38%), and intravenous urography revealed no calculi not detected on the plain radiographs. Intravenous urography did, however, show abnormalities not detected on plain abdominal radiographs in 22 patients (37%), but these findings influenced clinical management in only five patients (7%). In these five patients there were indications other than primary hyperparathyroidism for performing an intravenous urogram. Intravenous urography incurs a small risk and should not be performed as a routine investigation in primary hyperparathyroidism

Methodological innovation and research ethics: forces in tension or forces in harmony?

This paper is an exploration of the tensions inherent in the interaction between ethics and methodological innovation. The authors focus on three cases of innovation in qualitative research methods in the social sciences: netnography, child-led research, and creative research methods. Using thematic analysis of data collected through semi-structured interviews with the innovators and commentators on the innovations, they discuss the cases in terms of ethical responsibly, the democratisation of research, matters of empowerment, and the relationship between research and the academy. The paper highlights the ways in which innovation does not necessarily equate to taking risks but rather to risk management: the innovators are cautious as much as creative, operating within the context of a culture in which procedural ethical regulation acts to limit methodological development, and in which they (and other users of their method/approach) communicate the safe qualities alongside the innovative qualities of their approac
