This paper compares the 2012 International Federation of Library Associations and Institutions’ Code of Ethics for Librarians and Other Information Workers and the 2013 Data Science Association’s Data Science Code of Professional Conduct and discusses the disjuncture and related considerations that might strengthen practical understandings of the implications of ethics in library and information professional practice. This paper cautions against conflating a data scientist’s ethical framework with those of the traditional librarian and supports the development of a more robust framework for library and information ethics and a more comprehensive and inclusive framework for thinking about and conceptualizing data ethics.

Code Of Professional Conduct

Ethics is the foundation of a profession which becomes a common concern because of frequent misusesymptoms to the profession. The emergence of the discourse of professional code of ethics for judgesdeparted from the reality of law enforcement officials (especially judges) that ignores the values ofmorality. Although professional actors (judges) already have the code of professional conduct of judgesas moral standards, it has not been a positive impact, especially not able to change the image of societyto face justice for the better. Existing code of ethics is not providing value in favor of the realization ofthe purpose of the law, so it needs to be reviewed or revised to suit the changing situation. One way toenforce the rule of law is to enforce ethics, professionalism, and discipline. The values contained in thecode of professional conduct of judges in an ethical standpoint of Islamic law is very important to bestudied. Professional ethics of judges in principle contain moral values underlying professional personality,namely freedom, fairness and honesty. Professional ethics of judges and law is a unity that isinherently contained ethical values of Islam which is the foundation of understanding the Islamic law,so basically the code of professional conduct of judges in line with the values of the Islamic ethicalsystem. Islamic legal ethics built on four basic values which are the values of truth, justice, free will andresponsibility.

Aborda as possibilidades de estabelecimento da relação entre os termos identidade, ética e informação atestando a observância da configuração de uma identidade da ética que possa influir no comportamento informacional dos profissionais e usuários. Considera a ética como um pressuposto filosófico e político que deve estar relacionado aos fatos cotidianos para poder desenvolver estudos mais efetivos acerca do comportamento moral da humanidade. Para tanto, atesta a importância da ética historicista a fim de conceber uma concepção mais precisa sobre o termo em questão. Estabelece como condição problematológica os seguintes questionamentos: o código de ética do bibliotecário é bem elaborado? Quais são as suas deficiências e pontos qualitativos do documento? O código de ética tem sido cumprido pela categoria biblioteconômica? Analisa o código de ética do bibliotecário considerando todos os pontos que o constituem, suas deficiências e qualidades, bem como aponta sugestões para o aprimoramento do código, além de verificar que as reflexões expostas possibilitam inferir que, no caso de analisar atitudes não condizentes com a dignidade da profissão, seria mais adequado uma Comissão de Ética constituída para avaliar ações que aparentemente não se enquadrem num Código de Conduta Profissional do que um Código de Ética com prescrições para fixar normas de conduta. Aponta finalmente que é preciso uma reformulação do código e que muito do que se tem apregoado não tem sido cumprido nas práticas profissionais e cotidianas do bibliotecário.AbstractDiscusses the possibilities of establishing the relationship among the terms identity, ethics and information observing the configuration of ethics identity that can influence the behavior of information professionals and users. It considers the ethic as a philosophical and political condition that must be related to everyday events, in order to develop a more effective research on the moral behavior of mankind. To do so, certifies the importance of historicist ethics to devise a more accurate meaning for the term in question. It poses as the problem the following questions: the librarian code of ethics is well prepared? What are the weaknesses and qualitative points of the document? The code of ethics has been followed by the librarian’s category? It examines the librarian code of ethics considering all the qualities and weaknesses, and make suggestions for improving it. It also verify if the above considerations permit to infer that if attitudes do not look consistent with the dignity of the profession it would be more appropriate to be submitted to an Ethics Committee - established to assess actions that apparently did not fit in a Code of Professional Conduct as an Ethics Code, with requirements for setting standards of conduct. Finally suggests that the code need to be reformulated and much of what has been proclaimed has not been fulfilled in everyday work practices of the librarian.

ABSTRACT: Lisa Martin, the newly promoted controller at International Retail Computer Solutions (IRCS), faces an ethical dilemma. According to her calculations, the company should record a substantial inventory impairment loss. However, top management at IRCS is concerned that Martin's proposed inventory impairment adjustment will place the company in violation of an important debt covenant, which would allow the bank to call IRCS's $10 million note. Should Martin insist on keeping her original inventory impairment adjustment? Or should she be a team player and revise the adjustment downward to prevent a debt covenant violation? As students respond to the case questions, they are exposed to a realistic scenario requiring them to think critically about the underlying accounting issues and to consider the ethical implications of Martin's actions. In addition, the case requires them to apply an ethical framework (the AICPA's Code of Professional Conduct) to determine the ethical course of action.

A code of professional conduct is a collection of norms appropriate for the nursing profession and should be the point of reference for all decisions made during the care process. Codes of ethics for nurses are formulated by members of national nurses’ organizations. These codes can be considered to specify general norms that function in the relevant society, adjusting them to the character of the profession and enriching them with rules signifying the essence of nursing professionalism. The aim of this article is to present a comparative analysis of codes of ethics for nurses: the ICN’s Code of ethics for nurses, the UK’s Code of professional conduct, the Irish Code of professional conduct for each nurse and midwife, and the Polish Code of professional ethics for nurses and midwives. This analysis allows the identification of common elements in the professional ethics of nurses in these countries.

The term “ethics” comes from the Greek word 'ethos/ethikos', which means 'tradition, custom or habit". On the other hand, the science that addresses the requirements/duty to act ethically is called Deontology. In exercising the legal profession, Deontology is found as a discipline incorporating a set of principles and rules which must be acknowledged and adhered to by an exercising lawyer in his/her profession. The conduct of lawyers must be exemplary both in exercising profession and outside, in accordance with the dignity inherent to the profession. In recognizing principles and rules of the Code of Professional Conduct and deontology, lawyers must also adhere in their own professional conduct. In exercising their functions, all lawyers are under oath and must live to the commitment of strict adherence and full willingness to an Ethical Code of the profession. The Code of ethics determines the rules of behaviour, which must be adhered to by all lawyers in exercising their profession and rendering their services, to maintain and uphold the dignity and reputation of the Bar Profession. Failure to know the code of ethics does not justify any breach that a lawyer may commit. The idea of addressing this topic stems from the fact that often, lawyers as legal professionals come to confront with their Code of Professional Ethics. Therefore, considering the role and relevance of ethics in the bar profession, in this paper, I have elaborated on the legal grounds of KCA foundation, the regional coverage of the KCA, with a special emphasis on the professional legal ethics and the disciplinary system established by the Chamber of Advocates of Kosovo, a constitutionally established institution, disciplinary proceedings and measures imposed on the lawyers in case of breaches of their own Professional Ethics, concluding with basic principles of conduct and service provision by lawyers.

This article explores how events of a particular era, 1959–1974, contributed to the reshaping of ideas about planners’ social responsibilities. It describes encounters between Planners for Equal Opportunity and American Institute of Planners (AIP) relating to the need for planners to help protect the disadvantaged and to counter racial or economic oppression in professional practice. It suggests that the years from 1959, when AIP issued a slight revision of its code of professional conduct, to 1974, when it developed a proposal for dispersed advocacy planning, were the setting for major changes in understanding about the need for social justice in planning practice.
