I Kings 12:1-24 and The Challenge of Religion and Ethnicity in Nigeria
Authors: Uroko Favour , Agbasianya Maria Nneka
Published: October 2024

This paper examines the account of segregation in 1 Kings 12:1-24, where the Kingdom of Israel divides into two distinct entities due to political, religious, and ethnic tensions. By analysing this biblical narrative, the study highlights the destructive consequences of division based on cultural and religious differences. The paper draws parallels to the contemporary context of Nigeria, a nation marked by diverse ethnic and religious identities. It argues that the story serves as a cautionary tale for Nigeria, emphasizing the dangers of allowing cultural and religious differences to foster division and conflict. This is a qualitative study using the narrative method. Data was obtained from secondary sources and analysed using the content analysis method of analyzing qualitative secondary data. The impacts of the culture of religion and ethnicity reveal that it affects electoral politics, governance and representation, conflict and instability, social cohesion, education and socialisation, and economic inequality. Emerged themes include a) leadership and consultation, b) economic disparities and grievances, c) responses to grievances, d) secessionist movements, and e) the role of mediation and reconciliation. Nigerian leaders might draw a cue from Rehoboam's failures by encouraging communication, attending to the economic requirements of all areas, and using mediators to help settle disputes amicably.

Published: October 2024

This paper evaluates the potential effect that operation lifetime could have on the accuracy and reproducibility of the Condor reflectometer. For this purpose, three Condors with different operation lifetimes have been used and compared in this study. In addition to the device’s operation lifetimes, reproducibility and the repeatability of the measurements have also been evaluated. Silvered glass mirrors at different states have been used, e.g., clean, soiled and eroded in order to evaluate the effect of the surface properties on the difference reported using different devices. The obtained results have shown that the difference in specular reflectance reported by the three different Condors is more noticeable in case of soiled and eroded glass mirrors compared to clean sample. This could be linked to the surface roughness more than to the years of operation of the device itself.
Data Efficient, Robust, and Interpretable Deep Reinforcement Learning for Robotics and Dynamical Systems
Authors: Botteghi Nicolò
Published: October 2024

Deep reinforcement learning has achieved outstanding success in learning optimal control strategies directly from high-dimensional data by exploiting the expressive power of neural networks. However, neural network-based control policies tend to be over-parametrized, which means they need large amounts of training data, show limited robustness, and lack interpretability. These drawbacks become even more severe when controlling dynamical systems requiring real-world interaction and expensive simulation platforms, e.g., robots and fluids. In this talk, we will look at how to improve sample efficiency, robustness, and generalization in deep reinforcement learning through (i) unsupervised learning of low-dimensional data representations for robotics, (ii) sparse dictionary learning of control policies for parametric partial differential equations, and (iii) neural ordinary differential equations to blend physics and machine learning and to achieve energy-efficient control.

Published: October 2024

In this study, a 10 CMM capacity combustion type oxidizer (RTO) is designed and a mobile-based automatic design simulator is implemented for safe work design work. The automatic design simulator aims to design, manufacture, and utilize the RTO in accordance with international standards. The simulator using the RTO design formula uses mobile and PC and obtains quick calculations of design priorities and design specifications. It facilitates service between designers and field engineers, or designers and managers on a mobile network, and supports optimal deployment according to priorities. The program is constructed with rotary selection and design from the main menu, basic data input and management for body design, ceramic menu selection and calculation, purge diameter calculation, gas inlet/outlet diameter calculation, and various pressure calculations. The design platform can be standardized through calculation procedures and programming for 10 CMM design, and the effectiveness of design and production can be increased through standardized simulators in various environments. In particular, it can support the automation and monitoring of the PLC (Programming Logic Controller) control panel of the RTO device through a standardized program simulator, as well as an important role in the automatic setting operation of the system installation and operation. In the future, simulators are directly related to the establishment of the causes and countermeasures for RTO failure and provide good information for monitoring PLC mapping interface and responding to trip information for failure cause analysis.

Published: October 2024

The Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR) heralds a transformative era characterized by the integration of advanced technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) into various sectors, notably supply chain management. This paper explores how AI optimizes supply chains, enhancing efficiency, responsiveness, and resilience from a business model perspective. Traditional supply chain models often face challenges such as demand variability, inventory management, and logistical inefficiencies. By harnessing AI technologies, businesses can address these challenges through improved data analytics, predictive modeling, and automation. AI-driven supply chain optimization involves the utilization of machine learning algorithms and big data analytics to forecast demand accurately, enabling businesses to adjust their operations proactively. This shift from reactive to proactive supply chain management fosters agility, allowing firms to respond to market fluctuations swiftly. Furthermore, AI enhances visibility across the supply chain, facilitating real-time tracking of inventory levels, order status, and supplier performance. This transparency enables organizations to identify potential bottlenecks and mitigate risks effectively. The research highlights several AI applications in supply chain optimization, including automated inventory management, predictive maintenance, and intelligent logistics. Automated systems reduce human error and operational costs, while predictive maintenance minimizes downtime by anticipating equipment failures. Intelligent logistics solutions, powered by AI, optimize route planning and delivery schedules, enhancing overall operational efficiency. However, the successful implementation of AI in supply chains also poses challenges, such as the need for significant investments in technology and infrastructure, data privacy concerns, and workforce adaptation to new technologies. This paper discusses these challenges and provides recommendations for businesses to navigate them effectively. In conclusion, AI presents substantial opportunities for optimizing supply chains in the context of 4IR. By adopting AI-driven approaches, businesses can create more resilient and efficient supply chains, ultimately driving competitive advantage and sustainability in a rapidly evolving market landscape.

Authors: 張博硯 張博硯 , 張哲瑞 張哲瑞 , 林特暐 林特暐 , 陳孟侃 陳孟侃
Published: October 2024

目的：肥胖是許多慢性疾病的重要危險因子，其盛行率與職業模式有關。新竹科學園區（以下簡稱竹科）的勞動人口主要從事高科技產業。本研究探討竹科工作人口的肥胖率，以及職業等因素與肥胖之間的相關性，希望能為臺灣不斷增長的高科技產業員工提供健康的建議。

方法：此混合橫斷研究的資料，取自於2017至2020年期間國立臺灣大學醫學院附設醫院新竹臺大分院新竹醫院健康管理中心的健康檢查資料庫，分析對象是竹科的工作者。肥胖率以身體質量指數(body mass index, BMI)和腰圍為測量標準。評估也納入了體脂率。我們的主要研究指標為肥胖盛行率，將其與國民營養健康調查2017至2020年的數據進行比較。我們亦探討不同性別、年齡或職業等因素對竹科肥胖率的影響。

結果：本研究共有3,202名竹科工作者納入分析。以BMI評估，過重（27＞BMI ≧24）和肥胖（BMI ≧27）的盛行率分別為25.9%和17.2%。根據腰圍評估，肥胖率（男性 ≧90公分，女性 ≧80公分）為29.3%。與國民營養健康調查相應年齡之一般臺灣人口相比，竹科工作者在19-44歲人口中的肥胖率較低，在45-64歲人口中男性腰圍肥胖率較低。對於肥胖的相關因素，職業別為技術人員（BMI odds ratio (OR)=2.24 (1.27-3.93)；腰圍OR=1.73 (1.05-2.86)）和年齡增加（BMI OR=1.03 (1.01-1.04)；腰圍 OR=1.04 (1.03-1.05)）對肥胖的風險較高。

結論：竹科工作者的肥胖率低於臺灣一般人口。健康工作者效應、社經地位與健康識能等的影響不能被排除。鑒於技術人員與較高年齡者在肥胖方面的風險較高，家庭醫師面對科學園區工作者時，針對健康促進計畫應給予個人化之健康指導。

Aims: Obesity is a significant risk factor for numerous chronic diseases, and its prevalence is related to occupational patterns. The working population in the Hsinchu Science Park (HSP) is mainly engaged in high-tech industries. This study explores the prevalence of the obesity in the HSP working population and the correlation between obesity and its contributing factors such as occupation, aiming to provide the increasing number of employees in Taiwan’s high-tech industries with key health recommendations.

 Methods: Data of the pooled cross-sectional study was acquired from the 2017-2020 Health Management Center database at National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch, and the participants examined were HSP workers. The prevalence of obesity was measured by body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC) with body fat percentage also incorporated into the assessment. The main outcome of interest was the prevalence of obesity. We compared the population with the data from the Nutrition and Health Survey in Taiwan (NAHSIT) during 2017-2020. We also analyzed the association of obesity with the different factors including sex, age, occupation, etc.

 Results: There were 3,202 HSP workers included. As measured by BMI, the prevalence of overweight 27＞BMI≧24 and obesity (BMI≧27) read respectively 25.9% and 17.2%. When measured by WC, the prevalence of obesity (WC≧90 cm for males, ≧80 cm for females) was 29.3%. Compared to their counterparts in NAHSIT, HSP workers aged 19-44 years reported a lower prevalence of obesity. For male HSP workers aged 45-64 years, the prevalence of obesity was also lower. Occupation as technicians (BMI OR=2.24 (1.27-3.93); WC OR=1.73 (1.05-2.86)) and older age (BMI OR=1.03 (1.01-1.04); WC OR=1.04 (1.03-1.05)) were identified as factors associated with a higher risk for obesity.

 Conclusion: Obesity is less prevalent in HSP workers than in the general population of Taiwan. The healthy worker effect and the influence of socioeconomic status cannot be excluded. In light of their higher risk for obesity, technicians and older workers deserve additional health management measures.

Authors: 吳佳澤 吳佳澤 , 李茵葶 李茵葶 , 王信民 王信民
Published: October 2024

目的：本研究欲探討，青少年運動員下肢關節活動度與動態平衡表現的相關性，以及兩者在測量表現上的差異。方法：招募 20 名國高中男性運動員，測量下肢髖關節及踝關節活動度、改良版星狀偏移平衡測試 (modified star excursion balance test, mSEBT) 和 Y 字平衡測試 (Y balance test, YBT)。以皮爾森積差相關係數，比較慣用腳 mSEBT、YBT 與下肢關節活動度之相關性。透過多元迴歸分析，分析下肢關節活動度對 mSEBT 和 YBT 的預測性，以成對樣本 t 檢定比較 mSEBT 和 YBT 之差異。結果：mSEBT 與踝背屈、髖外展和髖外轉活動度呈顯著正相關，前側以踝背屈活動度解釋力最大 (R2 ＝ .506)，後內側 (R2 ＝ .544) 和後外側 (R2 ＝ .399) 以髖外轉活動度解釋力最大。YBT 前側與踝背屈活動度 (r ＝ .519，p < .05)；YBT後外側與髖外轉活動度 (r ＝ .561，p < .05)；YBT後內側與髖外展活動度 (r ＝ .558，p < .05) 呈顯著正相關。mSEBT 和 YBT 在 3 個方向上皆有中至高度相關 (r = .473 - .736，p < .05)，測量距離在前側、後外側和總分達顯著差異。結論：mSEBT 受多關節活動度影響，而 YBT 僅和單一關節活動度有關。mSEBT 和 YBT 雖有中至高度相關，但測量距離表現上並不相同。日後實驗設計及臨床應用上，應考量測試之差異，針對受試者的動態平衡能力，選擇適合的評估方法。

 

Purpose: To examine the relationships of lower extremity range of motion (ROM), modified star excursion balance test (mSEBT) and Y balance test (YBT) and to compare the differences between mSEBT and YBT. Methods: Twenty adolescent high school male athletes were recruited to measure hip ROM, ankle ROM, mSEBT, and YBT. Pearson’s product-moment correlation coefficient were used to analyze the relationship between lower extremity ROM and dynamic balance. Multiple regression analysis were used to determine the predictors in explaining the variance to dynamic balance outcomes. Paired t test was used to compare the differences between mSEBT and YBT. Results: mSEBT was significantly correlated with ankle dorsiflexion, hip abduction and hip external rotation ROM. Ankle dorsiflexion ROM was the strongest predictor for anterior direction (R2 ＝ .506). Hip external rotation ROM was the strongest predictor for posteromedial direction (R2 ＝ .544) and posterolateral direction (R2 ＝ .399). Anterior YBT was correlated with ankle dorsiflexion ROM (r ＝ .519, p < .05). Posterolateral YBT was correlated with hip external rotation ROM (r ＝ .561, p < .05), and posteromedial YBT was correlated with hip abduction ROM (r ＝ .558, p < .05). There were significant correlations in all three directions between mSEBT and YBT (r = .473 - .736, p < .05). Conclusion: There were significant differences in anterior, posterolateral and composite performance between YBT and mSEBT. mSEBT performance was affected by multi-joint ROM and YBT performance was affected by single-joint ROM. Even though mSEBT and YBT were highly correlated, the absolutely reach distances are different. Future works should consider the differences between two dynamic balance measures and select the proper tool while examining dynamic balance in different sports.

Authors: 余秉諴 余秉諴 , 陳膺成 陳膺成 , 李坤哲 李坤哲
Published: October 2024

目的：本研究欲探討成棒選手肩髖的旋轉及肩髖分離程度與球速間的相關性，用以尋找提升球速的方法。方法：以 18 位大專公開一級棒球投手作為研究參與者，同時利用慣性感測 (IMU)、二維影像分析系統及測速槍測量研究參與者之投球運動學參數，包括肩與骨盆在各時間點的旋轉角度、肩髖分離的角度、旋轉峰值時機及球速等。以皮爾森積差相關係數分析肩與骨盆的旋轉情況及肩髖分離程度與球速之間是否具有相關性。結果：本研究顯示除了上軀幹在膝蓋最高點 (r =-.295, p =.441)外，其餘分別為上軀幹在前導腳落地時 (r = -.821, p < .001)、上軀幹在球離手時 (r = .765, p = .016)、骨盆在膝蓋最高點時 (r = -.791, p = .011)、骨盆在前導腳落地時 (r = .906, p= .001)、骨盆在球離手時 (r = .951, p < .001)，都與球速呈顯著相關；上軀幹與骨盆的旋轉速度峰值、時機與球速呈顯著相關 (r = .934, p < .001)、(r = .969, p < .001)、(r = .881, p = .002)、(r = -.749, p = .02)；肩髖分離程度與上軀幹和骨盆的旋轉及球速皆呈顯著相關。結論：本研究顯示不僅是上軀幹，骨盆的旋轉與球速也息息相關，因此在投球動作上應注重投球動作的整體性，而非強調單一肢段的發力，且若能同時妥善運用肩髖分離，則能提升運動表現。

 

Purpose: This study aims to investigate the correlation between hip-shoulder and separation degree with ball speed in skilled baseball pitchers to identify methods for enhancing pitching velocity. Methods: Eighteen collegiate level-Ⅰbaseball pitchers participated as research subjects. An inertial measurement unit (IMU), a two-dimensional motion analysis system, and a radar gun were employed to measure the kinematic parameters of the pitching motion. These parameters included rotational angles of the shoulder and pelvic at various time points, the degree of hip-shoulder separation, peak rotation timing, and ball velocity. Pearson correlation coefficients between ball velocity, hip shoulder separation, and all trunk and pelvic kinematic variables were computed, and the level of significance was set at α = .05. Results: The results indicate that, except for the upper trunk at the maximum knee height(r = -.295, p = .441), the rest were significantly related with ball velocity: the upper trunk at the landing of the leading foot (r = -.821, p< .001), the upper trunk at the ball off hand (r = .765, p = .016), the pelvic at the maximum knee height (r = -.791, p = .011), the pelvic at the landing of the leading foot (r = .906, p = .001), and the pelvic at the ball off hand (r = .951, p < .001). The peak rotation velocity and the timing of the peak rotation velocity of the upper trunk and pelvic is also significantly related to ball velocity(r = .934, p < .001)、(r = .969, p < .001)、(r = .881, p = .002)、(r = -.749, p = .02). The degree of shoulder-hip separation is significantly correlated with the rotation of the upper trunk and pelvic and ball velocity. Conclusion: Based on the findings of this study, we know the significance of not only the upper trunk but also pelvic rotation with ball velocity. Therefore, a holistic approach to pitching mechanics, emphasizing overall motion rather than isolating individual segments, is crucial. Additionally, effectively utilizing hip-shoulder separation can enhance overall athletic performance in baseball pitching.

Authors: 古智元 古智元 , 邱文信 邱文信
Published: October 2024

目的：內野手可以是整個棒球守備的核心，棒球守備各階段全身上下的協調，有許多值得探討的專項技巧。方法：本研究使用Google scholar，以Baseball infielder、內野、野球守備、內野捕球、守備ゴロ等關鍵字，搜尋台灣、日本、美國三國關於棒球內野守備專項技巧的文獻做歸納，以不同角度探討內野守備的專項技巧：一、內野守備接球，二、內野守備傳球，三、守備的分期與各分期之動作控制。結果：本篇回顧性論文發現，一、移動腳步到好接球的彈跳點是良好守備的關鍵。二、減少軸心腳在接球位置上的變化和較為前面的接球點，對於接球的穩定性至關重要，甚至會影響到後續傳球的動能。三、精簡接傳的動作相較於增加傳球球速可能可以更能有效減少整體守備時間。四、優秀選手在接球的過程中會儘早讓軸心腳著地，並前期和中期將重心保留在軸心腳。五、內野手傳球在前導腳接觸時，軀幹向後扭轉和肘部伸展角度都會比投手小。結論：無論是接球前腳步移動的節奏和精確性，還是接球時的接球點和接短彈跳的能力，甚至是軀幹和骨盆前傾的時機點，對於內野守備過程都產生一定的影響。建議在日常練習時，就能將接短彈跳、腳步移動，納入訓練課表中，並且在動作過程中，加以檢視軀幹的姿勢，方能在比賽時擁有良好的守備表現。

 

The standing throw with run-up is the best approach to evaluate the performance of energy transfer and the efficiency of throwing motions for handball players. Purpose: This research aims at analyzing the usage of the standing throw with run-up among the handball players in Taiwan. The roles of body kinematics, strength of core muscles and standing balance of the drive leg played in the standing throw with run-up are also discussed. Methods: Nine Division I handball players from college went through a series of tests. The motions and the speed of the handball throwing were detected by a 3D electromagnetic motion analysis system and a sports radar gun, respectively. The maximum isometric muscle strength of trunks and hips were measured by a torque sensor and a home-made device of strength measurement. The standing balance of the drive leg was measured by a force plate with a mat. Results: The maximal shoulder external rotation angle in the arm cocking phase, the maximal trunk rotation velocity in the arm acceleration phase and the maximal shoulder horizontal adduction velocity showed moderate positive relationships with the ball velocity. The strength of back muscles had a moderate negative relationship with the ball velocity. The correlation between the balance ability of the drive leg and the ball velocity was not observed. Conclusion: The importance of proximal segments to the standing throw with run-up is analyzed by kinematical analysis. It is suggested that the energy of handball throwing is generated by the upper extremities or other limb segments in the processes of the standing throw with run-up. Our findings can serve as a helpful reference for both coaches and players.

The relevance of life history theory to harvest and conservation
Authors: Landa Arild
Published: October 2024

“Life history theory” and “applied ecology” are two disciplines that together span much of the field of natural science. The first seeks to understand the basic patterns underlying the diversity of life cycles, whereas the second seeks to guide our interactions with nature. In this paper I have concentrated on how life history theory relates to “harvest” and “conservation” of wildlife. Life history theory has the possibility to help make some general predictions about the interrelationship between demographic life history traits and interests of management and conservation. Theoretically it can therefore be used as a predictive tool which might allow us to extrapolate data from well-studied species to poorly-studied species with similar life history traits. However, life history theory has concentrated on broad patterns at scales that involve many different taxa, and has so far not always been successful in explaining the patterns that occur at finer taxonomic scales. Nevertheless, applied ecology would be a far more mature science if it had a greater contribution from life history theory. There are obviously a finite number of general patterns of life history variation which can be used to make general predictions. However, successful management will also need a better understanding of species in context of communities and ecosystems. We have to handle harvest and conservation on several levels of organisation simultaneously. Perhaps conducting in situ studies with a life history perspective will ultimately allow us to make more reliable predictions at a lower level of scale than is possible today. Furthermore, management actions could be treated as ecological experiments. This will not only help the managers understand the process of research, it will also provide many more tests of hypotheses with potential value for applied ecology.

Published: October 2024

This article adds a further, early example of the ‘I have come’ + purpose formula, as used frequently in early Jewish literature by angelic visitors to earth. This case and other instances already known are relevant to the question of whether pre-existence christology is implied in the parallel statements of Jesus in the Synoptic Gospels.
‘Teachable’ and ‘reachable moments’ in violence prevention and reduction: Does coaching psychology have something to offer criminal justice and forensic psychology services?
Authors: Wilkinson Dean J.
Published: October 2024

‘Teachable’ and ‘Reachable’ moments interventions have been developed across a number of Violence Reduction Partnerships and Police forces. However, limited evidence currently exists about the effectiveness of this delivery. In addition, the precise delivery of a teachable and/ or reachable moment - what the conversation and interaction looks like - is also not detailed or captured in the existing literature and leaves questions about the format and approach. This paper makes a case for the input of coaching psychology to provide an underpinning for the approach adopted by teachable and/or reachable moments. The paper argues that a coaching psychology approach could build on the already established mechanisms within the intervention delivery by providing additional tools to understand the clients, and formats for shaping the interactions within these interventions.
An evaluation of UK psychological services for people with Parkinson’s disease: Current practice and recommendations for improvement
Authors: Ihnen Jana , Jones Rini , Marsh Jess , Mobley Amanda , Okai David , Foley Jennifer A.
Published: October 2024

Surveys repeatedly suggest inadequate psychological support for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). However, absence of official service or workforce statistics obscures our understanding of current service provision. The aims of this study were to provide the first formal evaluation of UK PD psychological services and identify any development needs. An online survey was distributed to clinical psychologists who were members of relevant professional groups and/or working in neurology centres. A total of 45 clinical psychologists responded to the survey. Respondents saw a mean of 19 PD patients in a year with marked variation in numbers seen and services offered, particularly between the different nations. There was limited integration with the multidisciplinary team and inclusion of carers. This may reflect inadequacies in professional training and supervision, as well as a lack of funding. Improved clinical guidelines, enhanced professional training and a better network for clinical supervision are now critical.

Congenital malformations (CMs) are structural, metabolic, or functional anomalies that arise during the embryonic phase, potentially manifesting at birth or throughout life. These malformations are classified as acyanotic or cyanotic, with Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) being one of the most significant within the cyanotic category, with a prevalence of 4 to 5 cases per 10,000 live births. TOF, when surgically treated, shows good survival rates, making a detailed analysis of its cardiac anatomy and the surgical approaches used in its treatment essential. This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of TOF, considering its anatomical variations and their impact on the success of surgical interventions. For this purpose, an integrative literature review was conducted, analyzing anatomical variations and the effectiveness of different surgical approaches. The results indicated that anatomical variations in TOF are common and significantly impact surgical treatment, with pulmonary valve reconstruction standing out as an approach that can improve long-term outcomes, despite the incidence of regurgitation during follow-up. Patient age was also identified as a crucial factor in determining the surgical intervention, with complete repair being associated with more favorable outcomes compared to staged repair. It is concluded, therefore, that a detailed description of the anatomical variables of TOF and the personalization of surgical strategies are essential to ensure comprehensive and systematic care for patients with this anomaly.

Sensing Facts and Emotions: Intelligent Technology's Redefinition of News Text Presentation
Authors: He Wei , Zhou Min
Published: October 2024

Intelligent technology represented by artificial intelligence has profoundly changed the boundaries and patterns of journalism. Traditional media reports are constrained by conditions such as the shape of the newspaper layout, presenting independent and objective content of individual reports. Intelligent technology has changed this pattern, the presentation of news text will reflect the characteristics of "information layer of basic facts" and "opinion layer of emotional analysis" co-presentation, while adhering to the separation of the facts and opinions of the report itself, the typical attitudes and emotions of the user feedback and the facts of the media report are jointly presented to the public. While maintaining the separation of facts and opinions in the report itself, the typical attitudes and emotions of user feedback are presented to the public together with the facts of the media report. This will present the public with an intuitive and visualized opinion environment through sentiment and text analysis while quickly distilling and summarizing the main facts in the information flood. At the same time, intelligent technology further shortens the time lag between the occurrence of an event and the release of a news report, shortening the time lag and the perception of the importance of time lag in a cyclical manner, shaping the practitioner's view of time lag.
Research on Women's Educational Inequality
Authors: Liu Jinxuan
Published: October 2024

Education is a tool to achieve social equality. To achieve educational equality, it is necessary to prevent inequalities caused by student capital (such as gender, family, city where one lives and studies, etc.). This paper focuses on the inequalities faced by women in education. This paper uses online interviews to invite participants to discuss their educational disparities. This paper found that females are easily bound by the stereotypes around them in the process of making choices, such as major choices, schools, and life choices. This kind of constraint pushes females in the direction of the social stereotype that women are more suitable. However, some women rebel against these constraints. Stereotypes influence women's professional choices and, indirectly, their job choices. Finally, it leads to a gap for women in STEM fields.

Genom två museer
Authors: Ekström Anders
Published: October 2024

This essay discusses, in a tentative way, the intertwined production of classifications and object-lessons in the history of museums. The essay is especially focused on two museums. The first example is Linnaeus' Hammarby, a museum located at a small estate outside the city of Uppsala that was bought by Carl Linnaeus in 1758. The second museum discussed in the paper is a collection of weapons used in connection with acts of suicide in Sweden in the late 19th century. This exhibition was arranged by a medical institute in Stockholm in the 1890s, and was open to students of forensic medicine as well as to a general audience.
Skådesamling och åskådlighet
Authors: Hedqvist Eric
Published: October 2024

An investigation of the exhibition of a natural history museum opened in Göteborg 1923 indicates two different ways of understanding. Emphasizing the picture in the entrance room of Adam among the animals in the Garden of Eden the exhibition might be regarded from a Christian point of view. In accordance with this view the exhibition could also be seen as a representation of the "chain of being", which unites all living things into a hierarchy reaching from the most minute organisms by way of every possible stage to God. On the other hand the exhibition contained elements of interest in the perspective of the theory of evolution such as varieties of different species, mimicry among insects and evolution of flat-fishes. Although there was no chronological perspective the exhibition might be looked upon as an illustration of the evolution, from the "low" to "high" developed animals. The main issue is how the two different meanings — the Christian and the evolutionary — could coexist in the same exhibition. Another question is what it was, that constituted the attraction of the evidently quite popular exhibition. The author proposes that the explanation of both questions is, that museum exhibitions are a visual medium, which the visitors take in primarily by intuition. The picture of Adam and the animals of the paradise are not the premises of a logical conclusion. They might instead give rise to different questions of philosophical nature of interest both to the Christian and the agnostic.
Den nya ekonomin — en kulturhistoria
Authors: Löfgren Orvar
Published: October 2024

This introduction to a collection of papers on what has been called the New Economy attempts to do an archaeology of the present, exploring the ways in which processes of culturalization have become an important part of production. There is a lot of energy devoted to produce not only material commodities and services but to produce atmosphere, symbols, images, "a feel", icons, auras, experiences and events. It is in many senses a very "cultural economy" we are watching, in which the technologies of imagineering, performance, styling and design play important roles.
The introduction moves on to look at the aesthetics and practices of speed, the cult of creativity, some traits of "the catwalk economy" among actors, "hot spots" and companies and cocnludes by discussing some alternative ethnological approaches to the study of the New Economy.
Bioekonomi — mellan människa och ting
Authors: Åkesson Lynn
Published: October 2024

Taking out patents from biological, human tissues often raises debate. Why is that? Answers to these, and similar questions, are often formulated from an ethical point of view. In this article cultural perspectives are used to reflect on patents. Relying on Igor Kopytoff's article The cultural biography of things: commoditization as process, I argue that the unease associated with patents has to do with the wish to keep a strict borderline between people and things. This borderline is constantly blurred since bio-economics, new economic niche created by the success of bio-technology, operates precisely in the border area between people and things. It nurtures from human materials that are reshaped into commodities in a commercial markets. The concept of patent represents bio-economy in a symbolic way, compressing the multiples consequences of this economy.
Etiska reflexioner kring bioteknik och kvinnors hälsa
Authors: Sherwin Susan
Published: October 2024

The aim of this paper is to reflect on the distinct challenges and opportunities biotechnology poses to women's health. I begin with a brief exploration of some of the reasons to be concerned about many biotechnologies. I then propose some conceptual tools that can help us decide how to evaluate some of the ethical dimensions of different forms of biotechnology. I conclude with reflections on the question of who bears responsibility for the regulation and management of biotechnology. I approach this topic from a distinctly feminist perspective: that is, I believe that the ethical evaluation of a practice or policy requires us to consider the likely impact of that practice on existing patterns of oppression. Hence, when exploring the development and management of different types of biotechnology it is essential to consider whether these activities are likely to reduce or to increase the disadvantages now experienced by women and other vulnerable social groups.
