SECTIO J 2016 STRESZCZENIEWspółczesna rzeczywistość jest niestabilna, niepewna i niespokojna. Kryzys finansowy, a w jego następstwie kryzys ekonomiczny, którego doświadczamy od pierwszej dekady XXI w., przyczynił się do wzrostu bezrobocia zwłaszcza wśród pokolenia młodych dorosłych. Pociągnęło to za sobą szereg następstw, jak odraczanie decyzji o zakładaniu rodziny czy powrót po ukończe-niu studiów do "rodzinnego gniazda". Z drugiej strony transformacje współczesnej rzeczywistości dotyczą zjawisk, które można rozpatrywać w kategoriach pozytywnych. Gwałtowny, niezwykle intensywny rozwój nowoczesnych technologii cyfrowych otwiera przed współczesnym człowiekiem granice nie tylko związane z miejscem zamieszkania czy pracy, ale również ułatwia dostęp do dóbr intelektualnych. Zasygnalizowane transformacje wpływają na funkcjonowanie młodego pokolenia, odbijają się na codziennym życiu i wpływają na oczekiwania dotyczące przyszłości. Powodują też zmiany realizacji zadań rozwojowych. Celem prezentowanych badań było przeprowadzenie charakterystyki porównawczej oczekiwań oraz nastawienia przyszłościowego młodych Polaków i Ukraińców w warunkach transformacji społecznych. W badaniach zastosowano Zmodyfikowaną Skalę Strategicznego Podejścia do Stresu, "drabinę Cantrila" oraz ankietę autorską L. Oryshchyn Wizja przyszłości. Uzyskane wyniki wskazują na wprawdzie optymistyczne, lecz zróżnicowane nastawienie wobec przyszłości obu badanych grup narodowościowych.Słowa kluczowe: transformacje społeczne; wkraczanie w dorosłość; zadania rozwojowe; oczekiwania życiowe

“…It refers to the subjective evaluation of the degree of the potential threat of a particular event or activity (Lima 2005). This means that the assessments people make about risk are in accord with their perceptions rather than with a scientific or objective assessment of the situation (Renn 1998 Several authors have also stressed the importance of perceived justice in the acceptance of technologies viewed as dangerous (Lima 2006) and different dimensionsmainly procedural and distributive justice -have been examined in various areas (Clayton & Opotow 2003). Regarding the use of smart meters, procedural justice specifically can be an important determinant -as Stragier (2010) emphasizes, "if we want to change energy consumption patterns and make them smarter, we cannot do it from a top-down perspective" (p. 135).…”

Making energy visible: sociopsychological aspects associated with the use of smart meters

Abstract:This study aims to improve the understanding of the socio-psychological and technological aspects that influence the use of smart meters -innovative electricity meters that provide real-time data on consumption and are instrumental in increasing energy efficiency. Few studies have examined the socio-psychological factors that influence their use. We argue that the Theory of Reasoned Action (TRA), the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and other specific factors from the social psychology literature, such as perceived procedural justice and risk perception, can help understand what determines the use of smart meters. To empirically examine that, first a quantitative survey was conducted with 515 households with smart meters installed. Results indicate that smart meter use is influenced by subjective norms, perceived utility, health-related risk perception, procedural justice and time of usage. In a second study, internet blogs discussing smart meters were analyzed. This study corroborated some of the results of the first study and suggested additional factorssuch as perceived distributive injustice and loss of control and privacy-related risk perception -that may influence the use of smart meters.

“…Researchers, in preparing informed consent documents for participant enrolment and protocols for ethical review, should seek to denote all foreseeable risks associated with their research projects 23 . Any potential benefits identified in the document should be clearly stated as referring to the individual research participants, their health care system (or similar), people in their local community, or for the wider society.…”

Risk and benefit assessment is one of the fundamental requirements in the ethical review of research involving human participants. As a result, researchers should evaluate and seek to minimize all foreseeable risks involved in their proposed research and members of research ethics committees should evaluate and balance the risks and potential benefits involved in each research proposal as a part of their ethical obligations regarding research protocols. However, current literature provides little detailed guidance on the specifics of how this balancing process should occur. Consequently, this article provides some details of the process to balance risks and benefits in biomedical research and reminds members of research ethics committees of their responsibility to protect those who are vulnerable from exploitation in research projects. Keywords: Research subjects-Protocols-Ethics. Human experimentation. Ethics Committees, research. Research design. Health vulnerability. ResumoExplorando o balanceamento entre riscos e benefícios em pesquisa biomédica: algumas considerações A avaliação de riscos e benefícios é um dos requisitos fundamentais na revisão ética da pesquisa envolvendo participantes humanos. Consequentemente, os pesquisadores devem avaliar e procurar minimizar todos os riscos previsíveis envolvidos nas pesquisas propostas e os membros dos comitês de ética em pesquisa devem avaliar e balancear os possíveis riscos e benefícios envolvidos em cada proposta de pesquisa como parte de suas obrigações éticas em relação aos protocolos de pesquisa. No entanto, a literatura atual fornece poucas orientações detalhadas sobre como especificamente esse processo de balanceamento deve ocorrer. Consequentemente, este artigo fornece alguns detalhes do processo de balanceamento de riscos e benefícios na pesquisa biomédica e lembra aos membros dos comitês de ética de pesquisa de sua responsabilidade de proteger os vulneráveis da exploração em projetos de pesquisa.
