b'The Ethicality of using Data from Nazi ExperimentsKatherine A. NicholsSponsor: Dr. BowersThis presentation focuses on the ethicality of using the data retrieved from Nazi experimentation in modern-day research projects. Nazi experimentation is the title given to any experiment that was performed on behalf of the Nazi Regime. A few major experiments are briefly highlighted in this presentation but there is a specific focus on the freezing experiments conducted by Doctor Sigmund Rascher between 1942 and 1943. This specific experiment contains data that could bring insights into modern-day hypothermia studies. Some modern researchers feel that since the data is already available it should be utilized.Others question the ethicality of data since it was forcibly taken from unwilling victims. The victims, many of whom were killed by Dr. Raschers study, were already in poor condition before testing. The weakened state of the victims causes other scientists to question the validity of the gathered research. A reflection is made that displays multiple sides of this debate and offers possible solutions.Langdale College of Business:The Department of Accounting and EconomicsAn Examination of the Impact of Multiple Variable on Employee Retirement Planning ChoicesRoberto Perez and Amy SayedzadaSponsors: Dr. Gupta and Dr. CsehThe money saved by an employee in an employer sponsored retirement plan will most likely be their largest single savings. There is, however, widespread lack of financial education among employees about the different retirement plans offered by their employers, which may have prompted employees to pick a defined benefit retirement plan where the benefits paid in retirement are a function of the salary earned by the employee and the number of years of service and not the investment choices made or the returns generated by the investments.More recently, however, there has been a steady decline in the use of defined benefit plans and a corresponding increase in the use of defined contribution plans which places the burden of making appropriate investment choices on the employee. There has been no research so far, to our knowledge, that has examined the impact of several variables, such as age, gender, marital status, number of dependents, education level, academic rank, academic discipline, salary earned, and years to retirement, on the investment choices made by employees.This research will examine the impact of these variables on the investment choices made by employees at a regional comprehensive institution.38'
