This document provides training on conflict of interest for Happy County employees. It defines conflict of interest and discusses the importance of avoiding it to ensure fair treatment and maintain public trust. It outlines North Carolina's State Ethics Act and scenarios involving potential conflicts of interest for a licensing board member, advocacy group member, inspector offered a bribe, manager favoring their father's land, and commissioner owning land under consideration. For each scenario, it recommends recusal, caution, rejecting gifts, disclosure, or recusal to comply with ethics laws and avoid actual or perceived conflicts of interest when fulfilling public duties.
Nonprofit organizations are just as susceptible to conflicts of interest as any other businesses, but often awareness of the risk is lower because ethics are sometimes taken for granted in the social sector.
This presentation teaches staff to recognize, avoid and manage conflicts of interest. It can be used as an introduction to the particulars of your own Conflicts policy.
A conflict of interest arises whenever there is any potential bias that could affect a researcher’s work. Avoid post-publication headaches by disclosing all conflicts of interest upfront.
Personal Interest and Conflict of InterestNilendra Kumar
The law enforcement by police officers, by its very nature, requires man management. The police force is based on a hierarchial system. The officers in command of a body of policemen have to present a model behaviour capable of inspiring confidence and exacting discipline. In such an expectation, personal interests would invariably need to be sidelined and a careful decision taken in situations of conflict of interest. Finally, it is the public interest that needs to prevail.

While we depend more and more on research to make our clinical decisions, research misconduct is a malady that seriously undermines the credibility of the evidence generated. It is universal, ubiquitous and more common than we know
Ethical research and publication practices are essential for honest scholarly and scientific research. Most journals today are keenly aware of this: they publish policies on these issues and expect authors to “be aware of, and comply with, best practice in publication ethics”.This article discusses two widespread and related publishing practices that are considered unethical—duplicate publication and simultaneous submission. It draws on definitive international publication ethics guidelines.
One of the most important research ethical issues that should be taken into consideration is “scientific misconduct” such as fabrication, falsification and plagiarism. Plagiarism can occur at any stage of the research activities such as reporting, communicating, authoring, and peer review. The purpose of this workshop is to engage researchers in their responsibility to conduct an ethical research.
This is a presentation I gave to the Research Coordinators in the Federal Ministry of Health, Sudan (04.03.2015).
It included the following topics:
• Overview on the Knowledge Management Cycle and how research fits in it
• Brief historical background on research ethics
• What makes research ethical?
• Definition and examples of scientific misconduct
• How to make your research ethical and avoid scientific misconduct?
In academia, the pressure to publish is high and the competition intense. This can lead authors to follow unethical publication practices, such as salami slicing, duplicate publication, and simultaneous submission. This slide deck explains these malpractices and shares tips on how authors can avoid them.
The involvement of multiple individuals in different capacities naturally evokes the question of who should be credited and held accountable for the research published, especially since careers, ethics, and scientific integrity are at stake. This article outlines the major concepts pertaining to authorship.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
1. Conflict of Interest TrainingHappy County Dwane Brinson, Annie Francis, Kendra Jensen, Amanda Kaufman, Jonathan Yeomans
2. What is a “Conflict of Interest” Significant and pervasive financial, familial or personal interest, which poses an impermissible conflict with the relevant public interest that he or she has a duty to protect
3. Why is this important? To ensure equitable and fair treatment If ignored, it undermines public trust Legal ramifications
4. NC State Ethics Act Chapter 138A: Public disclosure of economic interests Use of public position for private gain State policy regarding acceptance of gift
6. Happy County Values Independent, impartial and responsible to the people Decisions made in context Public office not be used for personal gain Public have confidence in integrity of its government
8. Scenario 1 An elected official sits on an occupational licensing board. She recently applied for a business permit to open her own woodworking shop and her application is slated for review in the December meeting. Can she participate in the decision about her business application? What should she do?
10. ANSWER She should recuse herself from the decision. Her presence on the board constitutes a potential conflict of interest. However, she can still participate in the licensing of other persons in the same industry, so long as she has no financial or personal relationship with the applicant.
11. Scenario 2 An outspoken member of PETA gets elected to Happy County Council. Now that the councilman serves the public in two capacities, must he stop working with the advocacy organization?
13. ANSWER Not necessarily. Public officials — elected or otherwise — aren’t required to leave advocacy organizations once they are elected or hired. However, significant involvement can give rise to an actual conflict of interest. The official must weigh this risk and exercise caution so their involvement does not cause a conflict of interest, or the appearance thereof.
14. Scenario 3 A Happy County inspector fails an addition a resident built on their house. The resident offers the inspector $50 to “let a few things slide.” What should the inspector do?
16. ANSWER Reject the offer. Under the NC State Ethics law, a public employee may not accept “anything of value” that may influence that employee’s duties.
17. Scenario 4 The Happy County Board of Commissioners is considering buying land. They ask the manager for a detailed report about potential parcels. The manager’s father owns one of the parcels the commissioners are considering purchasing, and the manager considers skewing the report so his father’s parcel is the most attractive option. Is this OK?
19. ANSWER No. Under state ethics law, a public employee may not use their public position for private gain, if the gain would benefit that employee, their family or their business interests. The manager must disclose this information to the commissioners.
20. Scenario 5 Similarly, a Happy County Commissioner owns part of a piece of land that the commissioners are considering selling. Does the commissioner have to disclose this information? Can they participate in the decision?
