“…At the same time, the benign effects are highlighted by economists such as William Baumol or Edmund Phelps. In contrast to Stanfield and Stanfield (2011), Baumol (2010) does not share the view that business firms undermine the quality of life. To the contrary, he claims that innovation as the prime routine function of the capitalistic firm has dramatically improved the quality of life of ordinary men.…”

The paper reconstructs Niklas Luhmann's diagnosis of the dysfunctional character of moral communication in the modern society by emphasizing the emergent character of today's moral problems. In the systems-theoretic literature, emergence means the irreducibility of the properties of the whole to the characteristics of its parts. Two arguments have been advanced. First, the dysfunctional character of moral communication has been traced back to the emergent character of many moral problems. Moral communication has thus been shown to be not inherently dysfunctional, but rather needful of semantic forms that take account of the emergent properties of the economic and other social systems. Second, these properties highlight the moral aspect of the precariousness of system-environment relations as seen by Luhmann. As a moral problem, this precariousness can be resolved through greater sensitivity of social systems to their environment, social and natural alike.Accordingly, the emergent properties of the economic and other social systems can be captured by recasting the concept of responsibility as the individual-level or organizationallevel projection of the environmental sensitivity of these systems.

“…Both reach (<500 m, defined as 20× bankfull width) and quadrat-scale environmental data were collected during mussel and benthic macroinvertebrate surveys including water chemistry, channel morphology, substrate classification, discharge, flow velocity, adjacent vegetation, and nutrient concentrations. Collection methods for environmental data predominantly followed Ontario Stream Assessment Protocols (Stanfield et al 2017, see Supplementary Methods).…”

Benthic macroinvertebrate communities, which include unionid freshwater mussels, enhance the health of river ecosystems. Human impacts have driven declines within freshwater mussel communities and due to their complex life cycles, mussel recovery efforts are complex. In Canada, conservation of imperiled species has focused on biodiversity hotspots such as the Sydenham River in the Laurentian Great Lakes Basin. In practice, species conservation and habitat monitoring are siloed between federal agencies and local conservation authorities, limiting the potential for alignment of conservation policy and practice. Here we bring together federal, local, and our own survey data to explore patterns of co-occurrences between mussel species and other macroinvertebrate taxa to explore the extent to which knowledge of one benthic community informs the other. Mussel communities (species richness, community composition) differed between sites where imperiled mussel species were present and/or absent. Benthic macroinvertebrate metrics (e.g., family richness, percent Ephemeroptera, Plecoptera, and Trichoptera taxa) and specific indicator taxa were correlated with mussel species richness and the presence of imperiled mussel species. We show that benthic macroinvertebrate diversity indicators provided insight into imperiled species occurrences that warrant further investigation. These findings underscore support for coordinated watershed monitoring efforts and could be crucial for more successful freshwater mussel conservation.

“…They have received considerable attention from academics. The first concept of the intellectual capital was proposed by an economist, John Kenneth Galbraith, in 1969 (Stanfield, 2016). He described that intellectual capital as behaviors requiring the exercise of the brain is understood as dynamic intellect-creating activities.…”

Many countries are in the process of transforming from manufacturing- to knowledge-based economies. This trend has created a need for innovative and in which information and communications technology (ICT) has had an increasingly large impact on economic and social life, especially in Industrial Revolution 4.0 era. The development of ICT has enabled “information societies” of more than three billion people to access the Internet, with eight out of 10 Internet users owning a smartphone (VietNamNet, 2020). The demand for ICT services is increasing by leaps and bounds. This rapid growth has led ICT to become the one of the main drivers of economic growth as well as a cornerstone of daily life in many countries.
