Ethical Concerns Regarding Research on Human Subjectsijtsrd
Research involving human subjects is important to develop new therapeutics for the betterment of the human race. To take part in such research as volunteers is moral duty of any human. But such experiments should be justifiable and minimal risky for the participants. History of unethical research involving humans led to the development of many guidelines to make such research ethical as well as to gain maximum possible output. Several guidelines have been formulated to ensure research with human participants ethical. All the guidelines emphasize on one thing in particular informed consent of the human subjects. Other considerations include rational benefit harm ration, beneficence, justice, adequate research design and approval from proper authorities. All these guidelines aim to prevent any unethical research involving humans against their will.

The Belmont Report (Three Benchmark Rules)ClinosolIndia
The Belmont Report, published in 1979, is a seminal document in the field of research ethics. It was developed by the National Commission for the Protection of Human Subjects of Biomedical and Behavioral Research in response to unethical research practices, particularly the infamous Tuskegee Syphilis Study. The report sets forth three fundamental ethical principles, often referred to as the "Three Benchmark Rules," that guide the ethical conduct of research involving human subjects. These principles are:
Respect for Persons:
The principle of respect for persons emphasizes the autonomy and dignity of individuals. It requires that individuals be treated as autonomous agents capable of making informed decisions about their participation in research. Researchers must obtain informed consent from potential subjects and provide them with all relevant information regarding the purpose, risks, benefits, and alternatives of the study. Special provisions must be made for individuals with diminished autonomy, such as children or those with cognitive impairments, to ensure their rights and welfare are protected.
Beneficence:
The principle of beneficence emphasizes the obligation to maximize benefits and minimize harm to research subjects. Researchers must ensure that the potential benefits of the study outweigh the potential risks. They should conduct a thorough risk-benefit analysis and design their studies to maximize potential benefits while minimizing any potential harm or discomfort to participants. Additionally, researchers must make ongoing assessments of the risks and benefits throughout the course of the study and take necessary steps to minimize harm and maximize benefits.
Justice:
The principle of justice requires the fair distribution of the burdens and benefits of research. It emphasizes the need for equal access to participation in research, regardless of factors such as race, gender, socioeconomic status, or other characteristics. Researchers must ensure that the selection of research subjects is fair and avoid exploiting vulnerable populations. Additionally, the benefits derived from research should be distributed equitably, ensuring that the burdens of research are not borne solely by disadvantaged groups while the benefits accrue to others.
These Three Benchmark Rules provided in the Belmont Report serve as the foundation for modern ethical guidelines and regulations governing research involving human subjects. They have significantly influenced the development of ethical review boards and informed consent processes, ensuring the protection of individuals' rights and well-being in research studies.
The document discusses ethical guidelines for biomedical research involving human participants as outlined by the Indian Council of Medical Research. It covers the history of ethical codes emerging from inhumane experiments, key principles of informed consent, protecting vulnerable populations, and preventing therapeutic misconception. Guidelines address general research principles, review procedures, clinical trials, and other specialized research areas. The importance of ethics committee oversight and obtaining valid informed consent is emphasized throughout.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

6. MEANING OF ETHICS
Ethics is derived from the Greek word “ethos” meaning custom or character.
Rules that govern “right” conduct, what “ought to be”/right thing to do, the
“should” of human behavior.
ETHICS
It refers to the study of philosophical ideals of right and wrong behavior.
Ethics judges good, bad, right or wrong in human behavior.
BIOETHICS
It is ethics as applied to life (i.e. to life and death decision making). It is
concerned with human behavior in health care.
PROFESSIONAL CODE OF ETHICS
It is a set of collective statement about group’s expectations and standard of
behavior, and serves as guidelines to assist nurse and other health professional
groups when conflict or disagreement arises about correct practice or
behavior.
7. HISTORICAL EVOLUTION OF ETHICAL PRACTICES
IN RESEARCH
During 1942 and 1943, prisoners’ wounds were deliberately injected with
bacteria. Infection was aggravated due to forcing of wood shavings and ground
glass into the wounds. Sulfanilamide was then given to these prisoners to
determine effectiveness of this drug. Some subjects died and others suffered
serious injury.
Between June and September 1944, photographs and body measurements were
taken on 112 Jewish prisoners. Then, they were killed and their skeletons were de-
fleshed. One purpose of this study was to determine if photographs from live
human beings could be used to predict skeletal size. Widespread knowledge about
unethical research conducted in Germany was obtained immediately after World
War II. Shearer (1982) revealed some of the horrible experiments.
1.Infecting women prisoners with syphilis having them impregnated by male
prisoners, then dissecting the live babies and mothers.
2.Draining the blood from prisoners’ veins and substituting horse blood.
3.Exploding gas gangrene bombs next to prisoners tied to stakes.
8. During the 1960’s and 1970’s, a group of mentally retarded children
in Willowbrook, New York were deliberately exposed to infectious
hepatitis. In July 1963, doctors of New York injected live cancer cells
into 22 elderly patients. The study was designed to measure patients’
ability to reject foreign cells. The patients were told that they were
being given skin tests.
The present ethical standards used in nursing research, and in research
conducted by other disciplines are based on the guidelines that were
developed after world war-II. In 1947, Nuremberg code resulted from
the revelations of inhuman ethical behavior that occurred during the
war.

Likelihood of some good result
Based on prior research (animal models)
Avoidance of physical or psychological injury

10. REQUIREMENT FOR HUMAN RESEARCH ETHICS
CLEARANCE
CODE OF ETHICS
Who needs to apply for human research ethics clearance?
Human research is “research which is conducted with or about people, or their data
or tissue”
Anybody wishing to conduct any research involving:
Human participants
Human tissue
Personal records, or unpublished human research; must obtain ethics approval
before the research commences
11. TYPES OF HUMAN PARTICIPATION IN RESEARCH
As persons whose body organs or tissues are obtained and/or retained
for research.
As research participants from whom information is obtained.
As people who might be identified in official documents.
As people whose information (identified or de-identified) is part of an
existing, unpublished source.
12. ETHICAL PRINCIPLES (BELMONT REPORT)
I. RESPECT FOR HUMAN DIGNITY
It is the concept that all people deserve the right to fully exercise
their autonomy and assume that every individual is able to make a choice. It
comprises of two essential moral requirements:
a. Right for Autonomy (Self Determination)
An autonomous person is defined as an individual who is capable to make
judgments and actions based on his/her particular set of values, preferences,
and beliefs.
It also requires that subjects be treated in a non-degrading manner or out of
respect for their dignity. Respect for persons is practiced by doing followings
Obtaining informed consent
Protecting the autonomy of all people
Treating them with courtesy and respect
13. b. The Right to Full Disclosure
Researchers must have fully disclosed information about the study and
explained the voluntary nature of participation (including the right to
refuse without repercussion) and possible benefits and risks related to
study participation. Without complete information, a potential
participant cannot make a truly informed decision. People have a right
to make informed, voluntary decisions about study participation which
requires full disclosure. Full disclosure can be troublesome for some
researchers based on their study designs and research questions
14. II. BENEFICENCE (ABOVE ALL, DOES NO HARM)
The philosophy of "Do no harm" while maximizing benefits for the research project and
minimizing risks to the research subjects. There are four aspects of beneficence i.e.
a. Freedom From Harm
Researchers may strive to minimize all types of physical, psychological, social and
economic harm and discomfort and achieve balance between potential benefits and risks
of being a participant.
b. Freedom From Exploitation
Involvement in a research study should not place participants at a disadvantage or expose
them to a situation for which they have not been prepared for. Assure participants that the
information provided by them will not be used against them in any way.
c. Benefits From Research
People agree to participate in research investigations for a number of reasons such as
direct personal benefits, benefits to society and other individuals or participate in desire to
be helpful. Researcher may communicate potential benefits to participants.
15. d. The Risk/Benefit Ratio
In designing a research study, carefully assess the risks and benefits that would be
incurred. In evaluating risk/benefit ratio researcher should consider how
comfortable he would feel if his family participated in the study.
16. III. PRINCIPLE OF JUSTICE
In research ethics, justice is the fair selection of research participants.
Justice is the ideal distribution of risks and benefits when scientists
conducting clinical research are recruiting volunteer research
participants to participate in study. In this, non-exploitative and well-
considered procedures are administered fairly — the fair distribution of
costs and benefits to potential research participants. There are two
aspects of justice i.e.
a. The Right to Fair Treatment
Study participants have the right to fair and equitable treatment
before and during their participation in the study. Fair treatment
includes:
The fair and non-discriminatory selection of participants.
Respect for culture and other form of human diversity.
The non-prejudicial treatment of those who decline to participate or
who withdraw from the study after agreeing to participate.
17. b. The Right to Privacy
Researchers must keep any shared information in their strictest
confidence. Upholding the right to privacy often involves procedures for
anonymity or confidentiality. For participants’ data to be completely
anonymous means that the researcher cannot connect participant to their
data.
18. NATIONAL ETHICAL GUIDELINES (ICMR 2017)
PRINCIPLE OF ESSENTIALITY
PRINCIPLE OF VOLUNTARINESS
PRINCIPLE OF NON-EXPLOITATION
PRINCIPLE OF SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
PRINCIPLE OF ENSURING PRIVACY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

PRINCIPLE OF MAXIMIZATION OF BENEFIT
PRINCIPLE OF INSTITUTIONALARRANGEMENTS
PRINCIPLE OF TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
PRINCIPLE OF TOTALITY OF RESPONSIBILITY
PRINCIPLE OF ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION
19. INFORMED CONSENT
It is a voluntary agreement to participate in research. It is not merely a form
that is signed but is a process, in which the subject has an understanding of
the research and its risks. Informed consent is essential before enrolling a
participant and ongoing once enrolled. The ethics code of the American
psychological association describes that the researcher should inform
participants about followings
1. The purpose of the research, expected duration and procedures.
2. Their right to decline to participate and to withdraw from the research
once participation has begun.
3. The expected consequences of declining or withdrawing.
4. Reasonably expected factors that may influence their willingness to
participate such as potential risks, discomfort or adverse effects.
5. Any prospective research benefits.
6. Limits of confidentiality.
7. Incentives for participation

21. DEVELOPING A CONSENT FORM
• Organize the consent form coherently.
• Use large font so that form is easily read, use spacing that
avoids making document too dense.
• Make form attractive.
• Use clear, consistent terminology and avoid technical terms.
• If possible, use a readability formula to estimate the form’s
reading level and make revisions to ensure an appropriate
reading level for the group under study.
• Test the form with people similar to those who will be
recruited and ask for feedback.
22. ELECTRONIC CONSENT
Electronic media can be used to provide information as in the written
informed consent document, which can be administered and documented
using electronic informed consent systems.
GATEKEEPERS CONSENT
Permission of the gatekeepers, that is, the head/leader of the group or
culturally appropriate authorities, may be obtained in writing or audio/video
recorded on behalf of the group and should be witnessed.
COMMUNITY CONSENT
In certain populations, the community plays an important role in the consent
process. Some participants may not participate in the research unless the
community’s consent is available. There may be situations when individual
consent cannot be obtained as it will change the behaviour of the individual.
In such situations community consent is required.
23. WAIVER OF CONSENT
The researcher can apply to the EC for a waiver of consent if the
research involves less than minimal risk to participants and the waiver
will not adversely affect the rights and welfare of the participants.
ASSENT
A child’s agreement to participate in research is called assent. In
addition to consent from parents or legal guardian, verbal/oral or written
assent, as approved by the ethical committee, should be obtained from
children of 7–18 years of age.
24. ETHICAL DILEMMAS IN CONDUCTING RESEARCH
An ethical dilemma is a problem in the decision-making
process between two possible ethical principles, neither of which is
absolutely acceptable from an ethical perspective. Ethical dilemmas are
extremely complicated challenges that cannot be easily solved.
Therefore, the ability to find the optimal solution for ethical dilemmas is
critical to researcher.

26. HOW TO SOLVE AN ETHICAL DILEMMA
Following approaches can help to some extent to solve ethical dilemma.
Primary Consideration: decision on the basis of welfare of the
prospective study participants.
Value theory approach: Choose the alternative that offers the greater
good and the lesser harm.
Find alternative solutions: In some cases, the problem can be
reconsidered, and the new alternative solutions may arise.
Seek advice from institutional ethics committee:- Health care
institutions use an ethics committee to process dilemma. These
committees generally are multidisciplinary and include representatives
who are nurses as well as representatives from other disciplines.
27. DECEPTION
This is a process where participants are misled or wrongly informed about the aims of the
research. There are two possible types of deception include
1. Deliberate misleading, for example informing participants that the present study will
assess their health practices but the actual purpose of study is to assess the prevalence of
substance abuse..
2. Deception by omission, e.g., failure to disclose full information about the study, or
creating ambiguity.
The researcher should avoid deceiving participants about the nature of the research unless
there is no alternative and even then this would need to be judged acceptable by an
independent expert. However, there are some types of research that cannot be carried out
without at least some element of deception. Some researchers argue that deception can
never be justified and object to this practice as it
Violates an individual’s right to choose to participate.
It is a questionable basis on which to build a discipline.
Leads to distrust of researcher in the community.
28. THE AMERICAN PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSOCIATION
PROVIDED STANDARDS GUIDELINE FOR USE OF
DECEPTION IS AS FOLLOW
Non-deceptive alternative procedures are not feasible:-
Researchers do not conduct a study involving deception unless they
have determined that the use of deceptive techniques is justified by the
study's significant prospective scientific, educational or applied value
and that effective non-deceptive alternative procedures are not
feasible.
No physical pain or severe emotional distress:- Researchers do not
deceive prospective participants about research that is reasonably
expected to cause physical pain or severe emotional distress.
Earliest disclosure of deception:- Researchers must disclose
deception to participants as early as is feasible, preferably at the
conclusion of their participation.
29. DEBRIEFING
Debriefing is a process that can be undertaken at the conclusion of any research
activities, regardless of whether deception is part of the research design. It is
appropriate to provide participants with a simple, clear, and informative
explanation of the research purpose and the methods that were used.
The APA outlines three basic requirements for debriefing:
Researchers provide prompt and appropriate information about the nature, results,
and conclusions of the research, and correct misconceptions of participants.
If scientific or humane values justify delaying or withholding this information,
researchers take reasonable measures to reduce the risk of harm.
When research procedures have harmed a participant, researcher must take
reasonable steps to minimize the harm.
30. DEHOAXING
It is the process of convincing subjects who have been
deceived as part of a research study that they have in
fact been deceived. The purpose of dehoaxing is to
prevent possible future harm to the subject. For
example, subjects may be given false pretest scores in
order to test the effect of these scores on subsequent
tests of motivation levels. If subjects believe that the
false scores represent their true abilities, their level of
self-esteem would be high and put the person at risk.
31. ETHICS COMMITTEE
Research ethics committees have an important role to play in ensuring the
ethical standards and scientific merit of research involving human subjects.
There are three important obligations placed on the ethics committee.
1. Firstly and most importantly, the ethics committee must ensure that the
rights of research participants are protected. This is achieved by ensuring
that individuals receive sufficient information which can be easily
understood and ensuring that appropriate strategies are in place to protect
participants from potential adverse consequences of the research.
2. Secondly, the research ethics committee has an obligation to society which
provides the resources for research and will ultimately be affected by the
results.
32. Thirdly, the research ethics committee has an obligation to the
researcher. The research proposal should be treated with respect and
consideration. The research ethics committee should strive to meet each
of these obligations

36. CHAPTER FOCUS POINTS
Ethics refers to the study of philosophical ideals of right and wrong
behavior. Ethics judges good, bad, right or wrong in human
behavior.The Belmont Report is one of the leading works concerning
ethics and health care research. Its primary purpose is to protect subjects
and participants in clinical trials or research studies. This report consists
of three principles: beneficence, justice, and respect for persons.
Minimal risk-as risk anticipated to be no greater than those ordinarily
encountered in daily life or during routine physical or psychological
tests. Principle of justice means the fair distribution of costs and benefits
to potential research participant and keep shared information in their
strictly confidential. ICMR in the year 2017 propose the National
Ethical Guidelines for Biomedical and Health Research Involving
Human Participants. Debriefing is a process that can be undertaken at
the conclusion of any research activities, regardless of the whether
deception is part of the research design.
