This is the accompanying dataset for the publication Bottom-up Ethics - Neuroenhancement in Education and Employment (https://doi.org/10.1007/s12152-018-9366-7). The data was collected during the European Commision-funded NERRI project, which sought to facilitate Europe-wide discussion about the ethical acceptability and social desirability of neuroenhancement. We conducted an online survey with over 1000 respondents from 10 European countries and the United States. The survey included two contrastive vignette experiments and 14 attitude questions, which were derived from a series of public engagement activities. The SPSS dataset contains 50 variables, capturing sociodemographic indicators, the experimental manipulations, the 14 attitude statements, and two scales constructed using PCA. Paper abstract: Neuroenhancement involves the use of neurotechnologies to improve cognitive, affective or behavioural functioning, where these are not judged to be clinically impaired. Questions about enhancement have become one of the key topics of neuroethics over the past decade. The current study draws on in-depth public engagement activities in ten European countries giving a bottom-up perspective on the ethics and desirability of enhancement. This informed the design of an online contrastive vignette experiment that was administered to representative samples of 1000 respondents in the ten countries and the United States. The experiment investigated how the gender of the protagonist, his or her level of performance, the efficacy of the enhancer and the mode of enhancement affected support for neuroenhancement in both educational and employment contexts. Of these, higher efficacy and lower performance were found to increase willingness to support enhancement. A series of commonly articulated claims about the individual and societal dimensions of neuroenhancement were derived from the public engagement activities. Underlying these claims, multivariate analysis identified two social values. The Societal/Protective highlights counter normative consequences and opposes the use of enhancers. The Individual/Proactionary highlights opportunities and supports use. For most respondents these values are not mutually exclusive. This suggests that for many neuroenhancement is viewed simultaneously as a source of both promise and concern.

Public Views On Gene Editing And Its Uses

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) (2017)

George Gaskell Imre Bárd Agnes Allansdottir Rui Vieira da Cunha Peter Eduard

Rapid advances in genome editing, including CRISPR-Cas9 endonucleases, and their potential application in medicine and enhancement have been hotly debated by scientists and ethicists. Although a veto on germ line gene editing has been proposed¹, the use of gene editing on human cells in the clinical context remains controversial, particularly for interventions aimed at enhancement². In a report on human genome editing the US National Academy of Sciences (NAS) note that “important questions raised with respect to genome editing include how to incorporate societal values into salient clinical and policy consideration”³. We report here our research that opens a window onto what the public think.

Os primeiros reis-de-armas do Brasil

Revista de História (1963)

Rui Vieira da Cunha

A filiação direta dos arautos aos fetiales romanos (1) é negada pela pesquisa moderna, embora longe de dissipar as som-bras envolventes de suas origens (2) . Referidos nos poemas de Chrétien de Troyes, circa 1170, aparecem vinculados aos tor-neios e, pelos meados do século XIV, erravam à busca de onde prestar seus serviços, salvo uns poucos felizardos que estavam incluídos na casa de grandes senhores . Nesse último grupo, alguns, com autoridade sôbre os companheiros, eram denomi-nados reis, apelativo escolhido para significar, à época, análo-ga preeminência entre os menestréis, os devassos, os mendigos.

Títulos para os Príncipes

ÁGORA: Arquivologia em debate (1993)

Rui Vieira da Cunha

E uso em familias reinantes a atribuicao de titulos nobiliarquicos a seus membros, o que nao vinga no Brasil. Corre o boato, ac final do 1 2 Reinado, que os recem-chegados Marqueses de Loule foram feitos Duques de Mariana. Dois estrangeiros caro quaisquer outros e sem servicos ac pais, explode um pasquim, em dura critica: Nao bastam os nobres do teatro que o Executivo tem por ca feito para desonra desses titulos, que a Constituicao faculta? Ninguem deve reconhecer esses dois nobres frescos, com que se pretende aviltar ainda mais a nobreza vil, que por aqui existe Respeite-se muito embora a irma do imperante e seu cunhado, foras a Duquesa de Mariana e irrisoria, e marquesa de teatro, que 95 recebe atencoes e cortesias dos cenicos; e patearmos da plateia quando nao faz bem a seu papel:(1)
