Research Ethics in Japanese Higher Education: Faculty Attitudes and Cultural Mediation
Principles of research ethics, derived largely from Western philosophical thought, are spreading across the world of higher education. Since 2006 the Japanese Ministry of Education has required universities in Japan to establish codes of ethical conduct and ensure that procedures are in place to punish research misconduct. Drawing on semi-structured interviews with 13 academics in a research-intensive university in Japan, this paper considers how research ethics is interpreted in relation to their own practice. Interviewees articulated a range of ethical issues connected with data gathering and interpretation, applying for and using research funds, relationships with peers and research subjects, and the dissemination of results. The paper also explores the effect of personal values and cultural norms on the Japanese interpretation of research ethics identifying the impact in terms of the treatment of graduate research students and decision-making processes.journal articl

The red arrows indicates the wild type hybridization signals. The DNA obtained was individually annealed with the two pairs of stacking oligonucleotides and hybridized in one assay. Above Multiplex Assay with sample L7. The hybridized with their respective array of probes having sequence variations. The DNA obtained was annealed the two pairs of stacking oligonucleotides and hybridized in the multiplex format with. (B) The electropherogram showed the sequence wild type of the interest codon. The pink row pointed the signal of the probe in the microarray (point mutation)

Synthetic targets were annealed with prelabeled stacking oligonucleotides and hybridized with the array of probes having sequence variations. (B) Heterozygous pattern. Hybridization patterns produced by heterozygous combination of synthetic targets (ST) on probes. Equivalent amounts of wild type and mutant synthetic targets were annealed with prelabeled 5'and 3'stacking oligonucleotides, then hybridized with the array of probes having sequence variations (see Table 1)
