Abstract:
The article considers the activities of the Kola Branch of the Mineralogical Society, the Northern Branch of the Geographical Society of USSR (SFGO), and the branch of the All Union Society “Znaniye”. Scientific, organizational, and educational activities of the named societies were various and successful for quite a long period. They were aimed at promoting development of science and research, popularization of most recent achievements in science, mutual informing and coordinating of corresponding research being the main trend. The Kola Branch of the Mineralogical Society assisted in joining geological research in mineralogy. SFGO was mainly involved in humanitarian research inviting experts for cooperative joint archeological, ethnographic expeditions in the region. Popularization of science was extensively performed in cooperation with the society Znaniye.

Abstract:
In present times it would not be appropriate to say art made a “debut” in science centres, as it has been a feature since the beginning of their history, and it appeared precisely in the ‘parent’ science centre, the Exploratorium. However, now it is time to check the progress. There is unrest for this issue, as in history-making times, and it is worthwhile to follow the new developments and hear the words of the coordinators of the artistic activities in science centres and, more in general, in science museums, and also of the artists involved in the process. The goal is to promote a debate on the final results of this phenomenon and on what will happen next. Also, emphasis should be put on the importance for each museum to define right from the start an ‘art policy’, even a complex one, but somehow structured, that may be employed at many levels according to the needs of the museum itself.

ECSITE is the European network of science centres and museums (www.ecsite.net). The ECSITE Annual Conference, attended every year by several hundreds of professionals in science museums and science centres (870 at the last edition), and the ECSITE director forum, where full members of the association discuss on focused topics, are excellent observation points. Looking at what goes on in these meetings allows to track what is high on the agenda of the science-centre community, how the focus of interest moves, what are the main concerns of museum professionals.

Abstract:
The social sciences are bedeviled by terminological promiscuity. Terms and phrases are used at one time in a certain context and later borrowed and applied in different circumstances to somewhat different phenomena. Sometimes different groups of actors or researchers simultaneously use the same term with somewhat different meanings. Such is the use of the term civil society. In this 5th Anniversary of the Cosmopolitan Civil Societies: An Interdisciplinary Journal, it is timely to trace the evolution of the idea of civil society to its multiple guises in the present. The paper reviews the term’s 18th and 19th century roots, its recent resurrection and the opposing views of civil society, including views that question its applicability to non-western settings. It then discusses prospects for developing agreed approaches to the study of civil society. To guide our thinking the paper presents a brief overview of different approaches to defining civil society taken by some of the major so-called centres for civil society in Australia and internationally. The paper concludes by reflecting on these definitional challenges as it has played out at one particular cross faculty research centre, the University of Technology, Sydney’s Cosmopolitan Civil Societies Research Centre.

Science musums and science centres are wonderful places to host, support and mediate the dialogue between science and society. In fact, they are a natural crossroad where scientists, general public, media and insitutions for formal and informal learning meet. During the recent political and health crisis concerning the rubbish treatment in the Italian region of Campania, the science centre "Città della Scienza" has promoted an unusual dialogue between citizens and scientists.

Goodlett, Dana Louise. "Resilience in Uncertainty: An Examination of a Moroccan Centre Serving Unwed Mothers." Scholar Commons, 2016. http://scholarcommons.usf.edu/etd/6089.

Full text
Abstract:
Utilizing a gender-based violence approach, this study investigated service delivery realities for a Moroccan women’s centre serving unwed mothers and their babies. Primary research methods included participant observation and semi-structured interviews (n=20) with unwed mothers and centre staff. This study aimed to determine what factors lead mothers to seek assistance, types of assistance offered, and challenges and future opportunities for services. Findings indicate a lack of social support to mothers, lack of social and economic support for the centre and reduced service capacity, and the use of deceit in interactions between mothers and staff rooted in cultural notions of shame. Future opportunities for program development and sustainability are discussed. This work hopes to contribute to a richer understanding of gender-based violence in local contexts through the investigation of unwed mother’s experiences of gender-based violence in Moroccan society and how these experiences impact the reality and capabilities of social service provision.

Abstract:
Esta tese objetiva analisar a representação social da ciência resultante das ações de divulgação científica desempenhadas em exposições de museus e centros de ciência interativos. Partindo da premissa de que para a promoção de canais de comunicação pública, democrática e integradora acerca da ciência e sua produção é necessário o entendimento de que tais fenômenos se inserem numa relação de dependência e reciprocidade com demais elementos que compõem o tecido social, discute acerca dos fatores que impossibilitam um diálogo capaz de identificar com clareza que a ciência é, em última instância, socialmente construída. A insistência na adoção de linguagens pautadas em uma historicidade progressivamente retilínea e num superestímulo visual massificador de ‘imagens/aparência’, vem contribuindo para a afirmação de uma ideia universal e homogênea de ciência, ou seja, aprocessual e produtora de conhecimentos irrefutavelmente verdadeiros. Assim considerando, toma aqui a noção de ‘sociedade do espetáculo’ tanto como teoria sobre a sociedade, quanto, condição social que se projeta de forma verticalizada sobre a divulgação científica operada em instituições museológicas, implicando diretamente na construção da ciência e seus significados sociais. Tal condicionamento exercido pelo ‘espetáculo’ se sustenta, portanto, em dois vetores ideológicos fundamentais, por um lado, a ‘imagem’ tomada como ‘aparência’, configurando um território linguístico-narrativo pautado na alienação, na naturalização e na universalização. E por outro lado, a ‘historicidade’ como supressão do tempo social – socialmente construído –, delineando um quadro no qual a comunicabilidade é baseada na ausência de processos, na concepção do tempo como mercadoria, no conceito de ‘ideia fora do lugar/tempo’ e no pressuposto da neutralidade (científica). Do ponto de vista empírico, opta por investigar diferentes exposições em quatro museus e centros de ciência interativos, no Brasil e em Portugal, implementando as técnicas da observação e da entrevista fundamentalmente.
This thesis aims to analyze the social representation of science as a result of the actions of scientific divulgation performed in exhibitions from interactive museums and science centres. Starting from the premise that the promotion of public communication channels, democratic and inclusive about science and its production is necessary to the understanding that such phenomena are in a relationship of dependency and reciprocity with other elements that make up the social structure, discusses about the factors that prevent a dialogue capable of identifying with clarity that the science is ultimately, socially constructed. The insistence on adoption of languages based on a rectilinear and progressively historicity and in a super-stimulus visual massive of ‘images/appearance’, has contributed to the affirmation of a universal and homogenous idea of science, in other words, a-processual and producer of irrefutably true knowledge. So considering, here takes the notion of 'society of the spectacle' as much a theory of society, as, social condition that is projected in a vertical way on the scientific divulgation operated in museological institutions, implying directly in the construction of science and their social meanings. This conditioning exercised by the 'spectacle' is based, therefore, on two fundamental ideological vectors, on the one hand, the 'image' as 'appearance', setting up a linguistic and narrative territory based on alienation, naturalization and universalization. And on the other hand, the 'historicity' as suppression of social time - socially constructed - outlining a framework within which the communicability is based on the absence of processes, in the conception of time as a commodity, in the concept of 'idea out of place/time' and the premise of neutrality (scientific). From an empirical point of view, chooses to investigate different exhibitions in four interactive museums and science centres, in Brazil and Portugal, implementing the techniques of observation and interview, fundamentally.

Abstract:
La formation d’un territoire scientifique et technologique est le fruit d’un processus, dont les origines institutionnelles remontent au XIXe siècle, mais auquel prend part une grande variété de phénomènes à compter des années 1950. Cette thèse explore plusieurs itinéraires dans l’histoire de Grenoble qui sont autant de points de vue sur l’émergence de l’un des premiers pôles de recherche de la province française. Entre les années 1950 et 2015, la recherche s’organise et devient progressivement le cœur des institutions d’enseignement supérieur. L’acquisition d’importants instruments de recherche et le développement des technologies électroniques définissent certains types d’organisation de la recherche et façonnent, par là, tout l’environnement scientifique. De nouvelles manières d’occuper l’espace et d’intégrer la structure urbaine se développent avec le déploiement des campus et des parcs technologiques. Peu à peu, les acteurs scientifiques et politiques se saisissent explicitement de ce territoire scientifique en l’intégrant à leurs propres stratégies ou en produisant à son sujet un discours normatif. Mais, la formation de ce territoire est aussi l’enjeu de controverses. Elle génère des contestations sociales qui, subissant de profondes reconfigurations au cours du temps, peinent à peser sur le développement des sciences et technologies. En définitive, Grenoble ne devient un véritable territoire scientifique et technologique qu’après les années 1980, car c’est à partir de ce moment que les activités de recherche et d’innovation occupent une position déterminante dans l’espace social et géographique grenoblois
The creation of a scientific and technological territory results from a historical process. It takes its institutional origins in the 19th century, but many phenomena take part of it since the 1950s. This doctoral thesis examines several ‘trajectories’ in the history of one of the first scientific cities of the French Province. Between 1950 and 2015, the research structures itself. It becomes the heart of the higher education institutions. The Grenoble scientific instruments and the development of the electronic technology define the organization of the scientific research and shape the scientific environment altogether. New ways of occupying the space and integrating the urban structure are developed with the deployment of the university campus and of technology parks. Progressively, scientific and political actors are involved in the scientific territory by integrating it to their own strategies or by producing a normative discourse about it. Besides, the creation of this territory generates social protests that, however, barely succeed in influencing the development of science and technology. Ultimately, Grenoble really becomes a scientific and technological territory after the 1980s when science and innovation become central in social and geographic space of Grenoble

Full text
Abstract:
This research aims to contribute to knowledge about the design of interactive systems sited in public spaces. In particular, the study concerns "optional interactions" where systems invite interaction from passers-by. These systems are action-orientated ratherthan goal-oriented, are designed to encourage engagement, and offer positive and rewarding experiences through the activity of interaction. This is in contrast to systems that provide functional services that are actively sought out by people, such as ticketvending machines or cash dispensers. This thesis asserts that this kind of optimal, designed experience can be examined and understood through comparisons with approaches taken by new-media artists working in interactive, technological media. Artists have different priorities, and use different methods to those employed by Human-Computer Interaction researchers, and this study aims to further understanding of the potential of these artistic approaches for interaction designers. The setting for these optional interaction systems is any public or semi-public environment, including museums, galleries, shopping centres, foyers and urban settings. As well as understanding the public and social context of these interactions, the experiential aspects of interaction are of primary importance in this study. The work is conducted with the aim of providing practical and theoretical resources to interaction designers tasked with creating engaging interactive systems that initiate and sustain experiences that are highly regarded by the participant. The thesis presents a designframework titled the Optional Interactions Design Framework.

Abstract The aim of this thesis is to suggest a model to assist in the ability to judge access by private persons to Information Technology, IT, and to Public Information Sys-tems, PIS. It has its starting point in the Swedish Government´s endeavour to turn Sweden into the first information society for all. When the available statistics con-cerning the access to a PC and the Internet in Swedish homes are studied it is easy to think that this vision may soon be realised. Of course, access to the technical equipment is a fundamental condition in order to be able to use the Public Informa-tion Systems, but unfortunately, is not the only one. A number of studies have shown that it is not possible to equate possession and use. A number of access models or frameworks designed to judge whether or not a person has access to the ICTs do exist. However, it is my opinion that there is a de-ficiency in these models; they do not start out from the individual user´s prerequi-sites, but rather judge the external conditions available for possible access. Assisted by four empirical studies, interviews and questionnaires, a number of ac-cess barriers experienced by the users have been identified. The studies show that in addition to the technological hindrances, a series of more elusive ones also exist originating from prevailing norms and values in the environment the user lives in. The barriers are categorised into five groups; to have, to be able, to will, to may and to dare. Together these notions form the User Centred Access Model, UCAM, which is suggested for use in charting and communicating the necessary considera-tions that must be taken into account in the development of Public Information Sys-tems.

Abstract:
Virtual Reality (VR) systems have become widely recognised by the public as a result of media attention, but the cost of the underlying hardware has limited research in the field. Recent improvements in computing power, rendering software, and their availability have started to lower the price of personal VR system components, allowing VR to become an increasingly affordable technology. Science centre exhibits have traditionally been a starting point for high impact science products, presenting them directly to the public. VR technology is currently in a state where its introduction into a science centre is feasible. This thesis describes three computer-based science exhibits that have been designed and introduced to the Science Alive! science centre in Christchurch, New Zealand. The first exhibit, called Juggling In a Virtual Environment (JIVE), teaches the user to juggle virtual objects in VR. The exhibit was constructed using an IBM compatible personal computer, a modified Mattei PowerGlove, a data projector, a 2 metre by 1.5 metre fabric screen, and public domain rendering software. The main advantages of the system are that it is economical and it attempts to teach skills that are otherwise difficult to learn. Overall, the PowerGlove proved to be unreliable due to background noise, a restricted working angle of the ultrasonic tracking, and a high breakage rate of the finger sensors. The second exhibit, called Cybertennis, was constructed using the same hardware as JIVE, except for modifying the breakage-prone PowerGlove into a bat. A new virtual world was designed to allow the user to play a game of tennis with an artificial opponent. The third exhibit, called the Data Digester, is an electronic questionnaire; consisting of a Macintosh personal computer, a touch screen device, and HyperCard developing software. The Data Digester gathers information for market research, demographic investigations, and exhibit evaluation.

Abstract:
Esta tese trata, de forma ampla, da relação ciência e sociedade. Especificamente procura compreender o processo de construção do sistema biotecnológico em face do contexto ao qual está relacionado. A argumentação teórica estrutura-se em torno de questões levantadas pelos estudos sociais da ciência e tecnologia, e tem como marco teórico a teoria dos sistemas sociais de Niklas Luhmann, que parte da diferença sistema/entorno para compreender a relação ciência e sociedade. A questão levantada refere-se à estrutura de reprodução da ciência contemporânea e sua relação com o entorno. A hipótese argumenta que a estrutura do sistema biotecnológico sofreu uma mudança, da reprodução baseada na "verdade" à reprodução baseada no "funcionamento". Esta última forma de reprodução emerge em função das perturbações do entorno da ciência, principalmente em função do contexto caracterizado por exigências tecnológicas. Vinculadas a tais exigências estão ainda exigências de aplicação, legalidade, lucratividade, segurança, inovação. A pesquisa utilizou entrevista semi-estruturada com líderes de grupos de pesquisa em biotecnologia em seis estados da federação, e pesquisa documental, como métodos de coleta de dados, e utilizou técnicas qualitativas de análise, especificamente, a análise de conteúdo temática. De maneira mais específica, a investigação localiza-se na periferia do sistema global de ciência e tecnologia, e apresenta como a diferenciação centro/periferia também incide na reprodução do sistema biotecnológico. Para tanto, constrói-se o conceito de regime de produção de conhecimento, um regime de perturbações recíprocas entre sistemas, limitado pelas configurações institucionais dos Estados nacionais. Tal regime, no Brasil, foi caracterizado pelos sistemas do direito, da economia, da política e da ciência, e as perturbações dos três primeiros na biotecnologia é o que se investiga nesta pesquisa. Conclui-se que a pesquisa biotecnológica produz um outro tipo de verdade, a saber, a verdade eficaz.
This thesis deals with the relationship between science and society. It particularly seeks to understand the process of construction of biotechnology and its context. Beyond this, it searches to link biotechnology research to the global society and to the specific context of peripheral science The theoretical argument is structured around issues raised by social studies of science and technology, and uses the theoretical framework of the theory of social systems of Niklas Luhmann, who considered the difference system / environment to understand the relationship between science and society. The main question raised refers to the structure of the reproduction of contemporary science and its relation with the environment. Therefore, our hypothesis argues that the structure of the biotechnology has changed from a reproduction based on "truth" to a reproduction based on "operation". The latter form of reproduction emerges in the light of disturbances around the science, especialy in a context characterized by technological requirements. Besides theses, there are requirements for application, legality, profitability, safety and innovation. This research was conducted using semi-structured interviews with leaders of biotechnology research groups from six brazilian states. Besides, a documentary research was conducted and a thematic content analysis was performed. Particularly, this research is located at the periphery of the global system of science and technology, and presents how the differentiation center/periphery also affects the reproductive system of biotechnology. In this sense, we construct the concept of knowledge production regime, a regime of mutual disturbances between systems, which is limited by the institutional configurations of national states. In Brazil, such regime was characterized by systems of law, economy, policy and science. This research has focused on the disturbance of the first three on biotechnology. It is concluded that research biotechnology produces another kind of truth, namely truth effectively.

Full text
Abstract:
The radical democratic conception of civil society strives for theoretically constructing and politically defending civil society as a social sphere autonomous from both the economy and state. As a position taken against Marxist and liberal theories, radical civil societarianism views the cultural and normative structures of modern societies as independent from and prior to systemically conceived economic and political relations. These structures is purported to give way to spontaneous social solidarity characterising civil society. With the mechanisms of domination and exploitation defined outside civil society, this approach ends up with excessive voluntarism characterising social relations thereof. Similarly, in the Turkish context, the dominant centre-periphery approach is predicated upon the external contradiction between the vertical state-society relations and horizontal relations between social actors. It is argued that the dominance of the former has caused the underdevelopment of civil society which is a particular expression of the latter. In any case, social conflicts are detached from structural political and economic mechanisms and conceived in voluntaristic terms. Consequently, the normative position radical civil societarianism takes vis-à
-vis social movements fails to go beyond an imposition of the arbitrary notion of &ldquo
civility&rdquo
through the discourse of self-limitation.

Thesis (MTech. degree in Architecture: Applied Design)--Tshwane University of Technology, 2012.
The current state of the South African education system is woefully inadequate to support and sustain students’ interest in further studies, especially in the field of science and technology. The number of young scientists graduating from tertiary education facilities is very low and should be increased greatly during the next few years if South Africa is to progress technologically. The introduction on of an interactive science centre is one of the methods which could affect the youth and potentially spark their interest in science and technology. The current network of science centres in South Africa is unable to provide sufficient facilities to support the informal education sector.

Abstract:
AbstractTo rethink the relation between science and society and its current problems authoritative scholars in the US and Europe, but also around the globe, have since 1980 implicitly and increasingly explicitly gone back to the ideas of American pragmatism. Pragmatism as conceived by its founders Peirce, James and Dewey is known for its distinct philosophy/sociology of science and political theory. They argued that philosophy should not focus on theoretical esoteric problems with hair-splitting abstract debates of no interest to scientists because unrelated to their practice and problems in the real world. In a realistic philosophy of science, they did not accept foundationalism, dismissed the myth of given eternal principles, the unique ‘scientific method’, absolute truths or let alone a unifying theory. They saw science as a plural, thoroughly social activity that has to be directed to real world problems and subsequent interventions and action. ‘Truth’ in their sense was related to the potential and possible impact of the proposition when turned in to action. Knowledge claims were regarded per definition a product of the community of inquirers, fallible and through continuous testing in action were to be improved. Until 1950, this was the most influential intellectual movement in the USA, but with very little impact in Europe. Because of the dominance of the analytic positivistic approach to the philosophy of science, after 1950 it lost it standing. After the demise of analytical philosophy, in the 1980s of the previous century, there was a resurgence of pragmatism led by several so-called new or neo-pragmatists. Influential philosophers like Hillary Putnam and Philip Kitcher coming from the tradition of analytic philosophy have written about their gradual conversion to pragmatism, for which in the early days they were frowned upon by their esteemed colleagues. This new pragmatist movement gained traction first in the US, in particular through works of Bernstein, Toulmin, Rorty, Putnam and Hacking, but also gained influence in Europe, early on though the works of Apel, Habermas and later Latour.

Abstract:
AbstractIn the true spirit of Dewey and pragmatism, knowledge, insights and experience have to be translated into interventions and actions. Only when knowledge is ‘reduced to practice’ its social robustness and value will be determined. In light of the conclusions of the previous Chapter, to be able to have more impact and to hold up our promise to society we have to reflect who our science is organized and how it could be improved. From these reflections, several interventions in the practice of research have been proposed. When we, the Science in Transition Team, started to make public our critical accounts of the practice of science, I was ‘friendly advised’ by influential older scientists to first clean up the mess in my own institution, instead of pointing to others and to the system. As a matter of fact, that is what we have been doing at University Medical Centre Utrecht (UMC Utrecht) since 2009. In this chapter I present a brief outline of our actions ‘on the ground’ in UMC Utrecht and some early actions to promote these activities abroad.

Abstract:
The public prefers to express their opinions on the development of the surrounding area, make assessments and comments, as well as participate in surveys. However, the involvement of the public itself in improving the immediate surroundings and in solving the problems of its fellows is not always sufficient. The research aims to determine whether there are differences in public involvement in addressing municipal problems across various population groups within a municipality. The paper presents the results of an extensive survey. The research considered problems within one municipality in Latvia – Jelgava municipality – and analysed the rural territories located in the immediate vicinity of the centre of the municipality as well as those being the furthest from the centre. The results of the research revealed that young people were most satisfied with their lives in their municipality if their places of residence were closer to the centre of the municipality. The ability to influence the decisions of one’s own local government was highly valued by residents in the age group from 26 to 44 years in the rural territories that were in the immediate vicinity of the centre the municipality, yet this possibility was most often rated as weak among the youth living in the most remote rural territories from the centre of the municipality. Population involvement in solving a problem relevant to the society was the most frequently used way when the population requested a municipal employee to solve this problem. A large segment of the society in rural areas admitted that they did nothing, and this passivity was also evident in the group of young people who lived further away from the centre of the municipality. The involvement of the population in national-level public activities across all age groups and territories was quite equal, as the active population were involved in Saeima elections, campaigns for collecting signatures and donating various thing

Abstract:
The paper focuses on the science fiction novels Permutation City and Quarantine by Greg Egan and analyses his ideas on how life-altering technologies and life-simulating sciences are transforming human life, our consciousness, and our understanding of concepts, such as human/non-human, ecology, and the world around us. The paper studies the way Egan explores the themes of posthumanism, simulated realities, and digital immortality, through the prism of various ethical, social, philosophical, ecological and other problems that these concepts inevitably generate. The rich scientific background of these hard sf novels is analysed. The author also analyses Altered Carbon by Morgan, and compares it to the works of Greg Egan.

Abstract:
Since February 2021, countless lives have been lost in India, which has compounded the social and economic devastation caused by the second wave of COVID-19. The sharp surge in cases across the country overwhelmed the health infrastructure, with people left scrambling for hospital beds, critical drugs, and oxygen. As of May 2021, infections began to come down in urban areas. However, the effects of the second wave continued to be felt in rural areas. This is the worst humanitarian and public health crisis the country has witnessed since independence; while the continued spread of COVID-19 variants will have regional and global implications. With a slow vaccine rollout and overwhelmed health infrastructure, there is a critical need to examine India's response and recommend measures to further arrest the current spread of infection and to prevent and prepare against future waves. This brief is a rapid social science review and analysis of the second wave of COVID-19 in India. It draws on emerging reports, literature, and regional social science expertise to examine reasons for the second wave, explain its impact, and highlight the systemic issues that hindered the response. This brief puts forth vital considerations for local and national government, civil society, and humanitarian actors at global and national levels, with implications for future waves of COVID-19 in low- and middle-income countries. This review is part of the Social Science in Humanitarian Action Platform (SSHAP) series on the COVID-19 response in India. It was developed for SSHAP by Mihir R. Bhatt (AIDMI), Shilpi Srivastava (IDS), Megan Schmidt-Sane (IDS), and Lyla Mehta (IDS) with input and reviews from Deepak Sanan (Former Civil Servant; Senior Visiting Fellow, Centre for Policy Research), Subir Sinha (SOAS), Murad Banaji (Middlesex University London), Delhi Rose Angom (Oxfam India), Olivia Tulloch (Anthrologica) and Santiago Ripoll (IDS). It is the responsibility of SSHAP.

Abstract:
Occupational therapy (OT) educators strive to prepare entry-level practitioners who have the expertise to meet the diverse health care needs of society. A variety of instructional methods are used in the University of Tennessee Health Science Center (UTHSC) MOT program, including traditional lecture-based instruction (LBI), problem-based learning (PBL), team-based learning (TBL), and game-based learning (GBL). Research suggests that active learning strategies develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that are necessary for effective clinical reasoning and decision-making abilities. PBL, TBL, GBL are being successfully implemented in the UTHSC MOT Program to enhance the learning process and improve student engagement.
