In this article, the authors comprehend the moral and ethical phenomenon of "Adyge habz the problems of its preservation and development in modern society in the context of globalization. The study of traditions is undoubtedly relevant in modern conditions, when many ethnic groups persistently retain interest in past values, their origins and prospects. The authors note that this problem is relevant not only for the Adygs, but also for other peoples of the North Caucasus, which have their own analogues of national moral and ethical codes. Based on the results of the conducted sociological research, it is concluded that the role of Adyghism (adygag) in the system of traditional ethno-cultural values of the Adyghes has decreased, and therefore there is a need to revive and develop the national identity of the Adyghes.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to make a contribution to the theoretical understanding of documents and documentary agency in society through examples from a defined institutional and professional setting; and second, to create an understanding for the role of ethical codes in the process of defining and developing modern librarianship. Design/methodology/approach This study analyses the role of documentation carrying content of professional ethics in the formulation of modern librarianship. This is done through a series of example documents of various kinds, such as founding charters, peer handbooks and ethical codes systematically analysed through the use of document theory and theory on institutional change. Findings The findings of this study suggest that documents pronouncing ethical self-regulation within librarianship play a primarily legitimising role in situations where new types of libraries emerge or when libraries adapt to social change. The study proposes legitimacy as a key aspect of documentality, thus supplementing the established understanding of the concept. Originality/value This study is the first to analyse the role of ethical codes in libraries using document theory. It brings new knowledge to the role of ethical self-regulation in librarianship over time and in different institutional contexts. In suggesting a developed definition of documentality, it contributes to the theoretical understanding of the role of documents and documentation in institutions and in society at large.

The authors examine a number of examples of "soft law": written and unwritten instruments and influences which shape administrative decision- making. Rather than rendering bureaucratic processes more transparent and cohesive, or fostering greater accountability and consistency among decision-makers, "soft law" in this context frequently reinforces artificial divisions. Moreover, it insulates decisions and decision-makers from the kinds of critical inquiry typically associated with "hard law." If it is to realize its potential as a bridge between law and policy, and lend meaning to core principles — like fairness and reliability — soft law ought to be subjected to similarly critical consideration. The authors maintain that doing so allows one to preserve soft law's promise of flexibility. Moreover, one avoids falling prey to the misleading dichotomies soft law tends to bolster in the absence of critical administrative, political, and judicial scrutiny.

This article looks at the increasing need to consider the role of ethics in construction. The industry, historically, has been challenged by allegations of a serious shortfall in ethical standards. Only limited attempts to date in Australia have been made to address that concern. Any ethical analysis should consider the definition of ethics and its historical development. This paper considers major historical developments in ethical thinking as well as contemporary thinking on ethics for professional sub-sets. A code could be developed specific to construction. Current methods of addressing ethics in construction and in other industries are also reviewed. This paper argues that developing a code of ethics, supported by other measures is the way forward. The author’s aim is to promote further discussion and promote the drafting of a code. This paper includes a summary of other ethical codes that may provide a starting point. The time for reform is upon us, and there is an urgent need for an independent body to take the lead, for fear of floundering and having only found ‘another debating topic’ (Uff 2006).

This chapter addresses the role of ethical rules in the field of art law and international protection of cultural heritage. The examination of the legal nature of the codes of ethics and of their effectiveness is preceded by the analysis of their role which is frequently twofold. On the one hand, ethical codes can inspire market regulation by establishing or by confirming a catalogue of good practices in this field. This is the case of the CINOA (International Confederation of Art and Antique Dealers) Code of Ethics and the ICOM (International Council for Museums) Code of Ethics. In such cases, the codes of ethics may have a direct and/or an indirect effect to the functioning of the commercial transactions in this sector. Ethical codes may also represent a source of inspiration for the development of law rules, at both national and international levels.

All books in this flagship series contain carefully selected substantial extracts from key cases, legislation, and academic debate, providing students with a stand-alone resource. This chapter first summarizes the rules governing experiments on animals and explains the meaning of ‘research’. It then examines: international ethical codes and the UK’s regulatory system; the role of ethics committees in authorizing and monitoring research; whether the benefits and burdens of research participation are evenly distributed; conflicts of interests and publication ethics; and compensation for injuries sustained as a result of participation in research.

In companies, it is necessary to set boundaries and norms of conduct, to supervise their implementation, and to implement them consistently through the efforts of a manager who has an impact on the activities of his employees. The research goal is to identify employee views on the implementation of ethical principles in the company, as well as to define the role of a manager in this process. A hypothesis has been formulated: in the surveyed enterprises, managers apply ethical principles resulting from ethical codes binding in the company, known to everyone. The conclusions of the primary study on a group of employees forced the hypothesis to be rejected. They also showed that ethical principles are created based on a manager’s instructions or based on management/owner guidelines, and the ethical aspect is an important element of a good manager’s work. The application of appropriate rules may affect the functioning of the enterprise.

Tort reform advocates take varying dispositions regarding whether or not comparative fault tort reform has sufficiently compromised the ethical practices of sports industry practitioners. It follows that two of the best place to look for evidence supporting or refuting such claims is in the laws that govern sports and the sports cases that have been brought before the courts regarding the rights of individuals within the communities in which those individuals exist. Consequently, the aim of this chapter is to provide an overview of the role of comparative fault tort reform in sports cases. Examination appears regarding how that role has factored into meeting societal demand calling for a re-definition of fairness, as well as changes in the ethical codes of sports practitioner acumen.
