Textbook Question
Chapter 51, Problem 10TYU
SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, AND SOCIETY Researchers are very interested in studying Identical twins separated at birth and raised apart. So far, the data reveal that such twins frequently have similar personalities, mannerisms, habits, and interests. What general question do you think researchers hope to answer by studying such twins? Why do identical twins make good subjects for this research? What are the potential pitfalls of this research? What abuses might occur if the studies are not evaluated critically? Explain your thinking.

Then, provide some solutions for how can we eliminate the raciacl bias from STEM? what can professors or students do about it? some facts about this issue would also be fine. If have, please include that too. thanks.arrow_forwardThe following is an excerpt from a discussion of Principlism, which we have studied. (https://www.encyclopedia.com/science/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/principlism) Consider, for example, the question of what health professionals should do when they discover that a patient infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is having unprotected sex with partners who are ignorant of his condition. First, respect for the patient's autonomy supports a policy of medical confidentiality, requiring health professionals not to reveal to others private information discovered in the course of caring for patients. According to this policy, health professionals should do nothing to warn the sexual partners of their HIV-positive patient, as doing so would violate his confidentiality. Second, if there is evidence that public disclosure of the patient's condition would harm him economically, socially, psychologically, or physically, the principle of nonmaleficence would also urge…arrow_forward1.

- Do you agree or disagree why? Prior to this video I had not been introduced to the concept of genetically modified babies or "designer babies". However, a concept that was brought up in comparison to the designer babies was IVF babies. This concept is more familiar to me and made me think of the great possibilities designer babies could bring, but at what cost? As IVF first became popular it seemed to be well known that was was a possibility for well-off financially families. Although designer babies may have benefits such as lowering the risk to develop hereditary diseases, I don't think this concept would be widely accessible to varying income levels.arrow_forwardOne effective way to learn new information is to create an R-E-C table. A R-E-C table allows you to evaluate how new information... •reinforces previous knowledge •extends your previous knowledge •challenge your understanding Making a quick R-E-C tables is an excellent summary exercise to do right after a lecture or reading a complex book chapter. Placing new information in the context of your prior knowledge is helpful for learning, and so is evaluating what is still fuzzy for yourself. This is another example of metacognitition (thinking about thinking). Then read this passage from Variation in cancer risk among tissues can be explained by the number of stem cell divisions by Tomasetti and Vogelstein in 2015 (you will discuss this paper in greater detail during lab): "Some tissue types give rise to human cancers millions of more times often than other tissue types.

Are there other potential ethical concerns? Do you agree with the observations about how the research study is being conducted and the possible issues involved? How would you recommend addressing the potential ethical issues in the study? This study analyzed the research trends in the field of digital twins by examining metadata from 9639 peer-reviewed articles published between 2000 and 2023. We processed the metadata using an NLP-based toolkit and manually labeled each article with its most relevant application field. Using the KCN methodology, we performed temporal research trend analysis, mapping popular sensing technologies to six application fields and identifying representative examples of digital twins in each field. For researchers, this analysis provides a comprehensive view of the field's development, identifying key areas for future exploration. For architects, the findings highlight technological applications and…arrow_forward
