Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A growing concern exists about the tensions that may be found between medical professionalism and the concept of conscientious objection, on the part of physicians and other healthcare professionals, regarding healthcare decisions made by patients or their surrogates. This tension reflects the concept of what it means to be a healthcare professional in contrast to one's strongly held personal or religious ethical convictions. The major concerns revolve around issues at the beginning or at the end of life. These issues must be addressed to avoid serious conflicts with those for whom healthcare professionals have a duty to serve.

Fetched live from OpenAlex and de-inverted. Abstracts are not stored in this database: the inverted indexes are 8.6 GB of the frame’s 9.3 GB of text, and the host has 13 GB free.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
