The aim of this paper is to assess the need for a common ethics strategy shared by 2 of the cornerstones of human welfare: the healthcare and social services sectors.
An observational cross-sectional ...descriptive study was performed by surveying social services and healthcare professionals. A purposive sampling technique was used. The questionnaire consisted of 10 questions about ethical conflicts in professional practice and respondents' views on a proposed shared approach to bioethics and ethics in social intervention.
124 professionals completed the questionnaire, 56% of the health sector and 44% of the social services sector. About 90% professionals surveyed had had to make difficult ethical decisions in their work and would welcome a common approach to ethics in the social services and healthcare sectors. 75% said that conflicts are occurring more frequently in both sectors simultaneously and that they were resolved preferably individually and independently.
The survey respondents believe that a common approach to tackling ethical conflicts in professional practice is required. Nevertheless, it is still rare for ethics committees to intervene in the conflict resolution process and for decision-making support and evaluation tools to be used.
Photoacid catalyzed jettable inks containing monomers with epoxy and silane functionalities have been successfully formulated. In contrast to inks based on conventional sol–gel processes, the ...hydrolysis and condensation processes in these materials are triggered after printing using UV light favoring the long-term stability of the ink, a prerequisite for industrial applications. UV light can trigger the photocuring reaction of the epoxy groups and the hydrolysis and condensation of the silane groups leading to a crosslinked organic–inorganic hybrid polymeric network. Advantageously, the inks use no solvents and therefore the deposited material can be polymerized immediately after the deposition step by exposure to UV light. No additional baking steps are required allowing the use of thermally sensitive substrates and notably simplifying the process to one single step. Deposits with excellent adhesion and good transparency can be obtained by proper selection of the curing conditions through this process. Planar and channel optical waveguides have been prepared using these formulations by inkjet printing technology on a variety of substrates. The waveguides support optical modes with propagation losses as low as 0.5 dB cm −1 , demonstrating the potential of these photoacid catalyzed organic–inorganic hybrid formulations and inkjet printing for the preparation of photonic devices.
