Cis-regulatory Sequences02:02

Cis-regulatory Sequences

11.7K
Cis-regulatory sequences are short fragments of non-coding DNA that are present on the same chromosomes as the genes that they regulate. These fragments serve as binding sites for transcriptional regulators, proteins that are responsible for controlling gene transcription and differential gene expression across cell types in eukaryotes. Cis-regulatory sequences can be close to the gene of interest or thousands of bases away in the DNA sequence; however, those sequences that are further away are...

Biodiversity and Human Values

Professional Values

10.6K
Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.
The values that are the foundation of the nursing profession are altruism, autonomy, human dignity, and social justice.
First, altruism refers to the concern for the welfare and well-being of others without personal...

Critical Values01:31

Critical Values

10.3K
A critical value is a definite value obtained from a particular probability distribution at a predecided confidence level (or a predecided significance level) for a given population parameter. The critical value provides demarcation that separates the sample statistics that are likely to occur from the ones that are unlikely to occur based on the given probability distribution and the population parameter to be estimated. The critical value for normal distribution is obtained from the z...

Psychology as a Science

3.9K
Psychology, as a scientific discipline, aims to understand the mind and behavior through rigorous and systematic methods. The foundation of psychological research is evidence-based, relying heavily on the scientific method to derive and validate knowledge. This structured approach ensures that findings are reliable, valid, and applicable to broader contexts.
The scientific method in psychology involves six critical steps: making observations, formulating hypotheses, conducting tests, analyzing...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Concerns about politicizing regulatory science are common, but the ideal of value-free science is flawed. This study offers a constructive alternative by analyzing how regulatory science aims can legitimize value-laden choices.

Area of Science:

  • Regulatory Science
  • Environmental Health
  • Philosophy of Science

Background:

  • Concerns about political interference in regulatory science are widespread among scientists and the public.
  • The ideal of value-free science, which excludes political and economic values, is often used in these discussions.
  • However, the value-free ideal faces significant conceptual and practical challenges.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the literature on the problems associated with the value-free ideal in regulatory science.
  • To propose a constructive alternative to the value-free ideal.
  • To analyze the relationship between regulatory science goals and scientific standards.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of conceptual and practical problems with the value-free ideal.
  • Analysis of the relationship between regulatory science goals and scientific activity standards.
  • Examination of public deliberation, adaptive management, and community-based participatory research.

Main Results:

  • The value-free ideal in regulatory science is prevalent but self-undermining and can delay protective regulations.
  • Regulatory science aims can legitimize value-laden choices in research methods and study designs.
  • Public deliberation and participatory research can enhance the legitimacy of scientists in environmental knowledge issues.

Conclusions:

  • Reflecting on regulatory science aims, such as protecting health and environment, clarifies legitimate roles for values.
  • Informing democratic deliberation and promoting environmental justice are key aims.
  • Values have legitimate roles in regulatory science when aligned with these aims.
