International Scientific Cooperation

Basic science is an inherently international activity. Its principal goal is the production of new knowledge which is evaluated according to universal standards. In terms of membership and goals scientific communities have been international since their emergence during the seventeenth century. Basic science today consists of hundreds of research problem areas in which groups of scientists study similar problems and exchange information across national boundaries. International scientific cooperation occurs on several levels ranging from informal communication between individual researchers to multilateral agreements between governments and intergovernmental organizations (IGOs).

Chapter 9 contains a description of Lorentz’s role in the Dutch and international peace movement and his efforts to keep communication alive between the scientific communities of the two warring parties during World War One. It deals with the differences in the political opinions between scientists in Germany and in other parts of Europe, as well as various efforts, particularly on the part of Lorentz, to salvage international scientific cooperation.

International Scientific Cooperation

Science facilitates a confluence of ideas, knowledge, expertise, and resources that transcend national boundaries and traditional disciplines towards efficiently addressing global problems. Science should be leveraged to promote effective knowledge-based international partnerships to solve common problems. Science diplomacy transcends borders, politics, culture, and religion where all accept the universality of science. It is through the use of international scientific cooperation more excellent quality can be fostered. The collaboration among the peoples of diverse geography from all nations can promote greater global peace, prosperity, and stability. However, there are invisible walls in accepting science as diplomacy; the bridge needs to be built.

The paper presents and discusses the travel notes diary of Canadian scientist Robert J. Wilson when he visited Brazil in April 1967 during the Smallpox Eradication Programme run by the World Health Organisation. Wilson's report makes it possible to reflect on the smallpox eradication campaign in Brazil; on the Canada-Brazil cooperation to improve the quality of the smallpox vaccine; on his assessment by of scientists and Brazilian laboratories; on the effects of intersections between scientific activity and social and cultural activities; on the role played by specialist communities of experts role in international scientific cooperation projects; and on a Canadian traveller's concepts and prejudices about Brazil at the end of the 1960s.

This study aims to determine the use of Anates software based media in learning evaluation courses at Batanghari University, Jambi. The design of this study uses descriptive qualitative. Meanwhile, the technique in this study uses a purposive technique that is the determination of informants not based on guidelines or based on population representation, but based on the depth of information needed related to the research problem. The results showed that there was an influence between the application of the use of Anates software-based applications in the learning evaluation course with the item analysis material at Batanghari University, Jambi. Thus, the use of media in lectures is very helpful for students to be able to understand new knowledge and insights that are not only limited to theory, but rather to practice to support the theories they learn.

Dutch Brazil

This article deals with the textual legacy of Dutch Brazil, in particular the ethnographic descriptions in one of the most popular works about the colony: Barlaeus’ Rerum per Octennium in Brasilia et alibi nuper gestarum. Barlaeus never set foot in Brazil, but was an important Dutch intellectual authority in the seventeenth century. To compose the Rerum per Octennium, he relied on a wide variety of available sources, not only firsthand observations, but also classical, biblical and other contemporary sources. From these, he made a careful selection to produce his descriptions. Recent research shows that the Dutch participated in networks of knowledge and imagination as well as in a more familiar early modern trading network. This article reveals that Barlaeus’ descriptions not only circulated as knowledge, but also produced new knowledge. The Rerum soon became one of the standard works about the colony due to the importance of its author and its composition. Furthermore, the article discusses the rhetorical techniques used in some selected descriptions in order to shed light upon the strategies Barlaeus used in his discourse on the strange reality of the New World. For example, his ethnographic descriptions employed parallel customs or events from the classical Antiquity or the Bible. In these comparisons he displays both his intellectual capacities and shows his desire to comprehend this exotic reality.

East West

This chapter focuses on computer-based global modeling, a new technology of knowledge production that emerged in the early 1970s and played an important, transformative role in Soviet governance by opening it up to East-West cooperation. Global modelers conceptualized the planet as a complex, interconnected system, the understanding of which required transnational scientific cooperation, enabling both scientists and data to cross national boundaries and Cold War divides. Moreover, Soviet scientists forged and used models of possible long-term futures of the world to reveal and criticize problems being experienced, but not always acknowledged, in the Soviet Union. Therefore, a history of computer-based global modeling is a history of East-West transfer, the transformation of the late state socialism and globalization.
