Ethical dilemmas in researching sensitive issues online: lessons from the study of British disability dissent networks
This paper presents an unconventional approach to the resolution of the key ethical dilemmas raised by the study of politically charged personal content posted on social media. In particular, this study suggests that Internet research ethics should remain informed by the disciplinary perspectives of those who study online communities. Hence, Internet scholars must build on established ethical practices from their respective disciplines in such a way as to address these âhuman-centredâ ethical issues. A âmedium-cloakedâ strategy towards data anonymization was adopted for this study of the comments posted on the Facebook pages of UK disability rights groups. Key themes were typically conveyed without the disclosure of personally identifiable information and direct quotes were only used if they could not be located using a search engine. The rationale for such an approach is elucidated in order to identify the limitations in the ways in which such ethical issues are dealt with in existing guidelines in this area. The paper suggests that the automatic categorization of disabled people and others experiencing disadvantage as âvulnerable groupsâ in many of these protocols might further disempower these stakeholders through the omission of their personal stories from relevant scholarship. A more nuanced approach towards the protection of user privacy is advocated; one that allows for the use of direct quotes when it is unlikely to prove harmful to the user but also sets out to provide the maximum level of anonymity possible for those who divulge sensitive information in these semi-public spaces

Ăndice de qualidade ambiental suinĂcola (IQAS): Aspectos conceituais e metodolĂłgicos e aplicação Swine environmental quality index (SEQI): Conceptual and methodological aspects and case studies
O IQAS Ă© uma ferramenta que avalia as condiçÔes nos sistemas de produção de suĂnos em relação ao meio ambiente, atravĂ©s de indicadores com pesos para identificação, exame e avaliação das caracterĂsticas do local, da infra-estrutura e das formas de manejo. Os sistemas de produção avaliados se encontram na bacia hidrogrĂĄfica do rio Toledo, estado do ParanĂĄ. A coleta de dados atravĂ©s de visitas tĂ©cnicas atendeu ao conjunto de indicadores do IQAS. Com as informaçÔes realizaram-se simulaçÔes, classificando-se as unidades na faixa regular, irregular e crĂtica. Para as propriedades de pequeno porte, as que sofreram reformas nos bebedouros, cochos basculantes, esterqueiras e na rede coletora, se classificaram na faixa regular, na qual se enquadraram, tambĂ©m, as que possuem equipamentos para aplicação nas culturas, responsĂĄvel pelas atividades e ĂĄrea disponĂvel, representando 16,13%. Na faixa crĂtica, estas se encontram prĂłximas aos recursos hĂdricos e residĂȘncias, com esterqueiras em solo e baixa capacidade de armazenamento, com taxas de aplicação acima de 60 mÂł ha-1, alĂ©m de resĂduos na ĂĄrea, com 32,26%. As demais unidades, 51,61%, se enquadraram como irregular o que implica em risco de poluição das ĂĄguas.<br>SEQI is a tool that evaluates the conditions in swine production systems in relation to environment, by using indicators with weights for identification, examination and evaluation of the characteristics of location, infrastructure and farm management procedures. The production systems evaluated in this study are located in the Toledo River basin, ParanĂĄ state, Brazil. The collection of data through technical visits met the set of SEQI indicators. With the information, simulations were performed and the units were classified in three groups: regular, irregular and critical. For small farms, the ones that reformed their water nipples, storage tanks, feeding devices and pipe installations, were classified as regular, as well as the ones that have their own equipments for applying manure, a worker responsible for the activities and available area, representing 16.13%. In the critical level, 32.26% of the farms are located near water resources and housings, with manure in the ground and low storage capacity, with application rates above 60 mÂł ha-1, besides presenting residues in the area. The other units (51.61%) were classified as irregular, which implies a risk of water pollution
