In this paper, an anatomy is given of the ambiguous representations of the subsoil produced by the Schlumberger Company during the 1930s. In ‘normal’ scientific work, ambiguities are carefully concealed so that the visual depictions that accompany a text lend it authority and give it the appearance of clarity. However, in a patent trial instigated by Schlumberger over electrical methods of picturing the subsoil adjacent to oil wells, sharp relief is thrown on the shading of information. In particular, we see that it was in the interests of Schlumberger and their rivals to produce graphics open to multiple interpretation, and that the juggling and control of these was a conscious part of their work – and indeed necessary to their survival.

The Impact

Countries need teams of well trained epidemiologists with extensive field experience to work with clinicians and laboratory scientists to conduct prompt and effective outbreak investigations of epidemics. To identify these outbreaks of possible emerging or re-emerging problems, existing surveillance must be strengthened and the quality of data validated routinely. In addition, ministry of health officials and international agencies need an open, collaborative, scientific work environment. The best environment to design effective interventions and control measures to limit the impact of these newly identified problems on the public’s health is one of cooperation and collaboration

Field Of Inquiry

The Problem Meta-science, that is, science about science, is an application of scientific method to explain and control the methods and enterprise of science. The field of inquiry of meta-science emerged originally in reaction to problems with reproducibility and replicability of seemingly settled science. These same problems could affect research evidence conducted by human resource development (HRD) researchers and, as a result, could limit the applicability of HRD research outcomes to HRD practice. The Solution Discussed in this article are examples of meta-scientific issues and solutions that ultimately affect the transition of knowledge derived through research to practice in the field of HRD. Problems with the reproducibility and replication of research conducted in the field are detailed as are meta-scientific issues involved in judging the quality of scientific work, methodology-agnostic applications of meta-scientific inquiry, requirements for sharing data and code, and the need to let theory guide research. The Stakeholders Researchers would benefit from the considerations of meta-scientific concerns in the design, conduct, and reporting of research to improve the replicability and reproducibility of research outcomes. Knowledge of meta-scientific principles and cautions by adopters of research outcomes would inject healthy skepticism into decisions about whether research outcomes are worthy for application in practice or to guide future research.

The Ideal

AbstractThis paper introduces the concept of “nation-state science” to describe the scientific work of ethnoracial classification that made possible the ideal of the homogenous nation-state. Swedish scientists implicitly defined their nation for Continental Europeans when they explicitly created knowledge about the “Lapps” (today's Sámi/Saami). Nation was coupled to state through such ethnoracial categories, the content of which were redefined as Sweden's geopolitical power rose and fell. These shifts sparked methodological innovations to redefine the Lapp, making it a durable category whose content was plastic enough to survive paradigm shifts in political and scientific thought. Idiosyncratic Swedish concerns thus became universalized through the scientific diffusion of empirical knowledge about Lapps and generalizable anthropometric techniques to distinguish among populations. What Sweden lost during the nineteenth century in terms of geopolitical power, it gained in terms of biopower: the knowledge and control of internal populations made possible by its widely adopted anthropometric innovations. Nation-state science helps unpack the interrelationships between state-building, nation-making, and scientific labor.

Due to negative environmental impacts caused by the building industry, sustainable buildings have recently become one of the most investigated fields in research. As the design technique itself is mainly responsible for building performance, building energy design optimization is of particular interest. Several studies concentrate on systems, operation, and control optimization, complemented by passive strategies, specifically related to the envelope. In building physics, different architectural considerations, in particular, the building’s shape, are essential variables, as they greatly influence the performance of a building. Most scientific work that takes into consideration building geometry explores spaces without any energy optimization or calculates optimization processes of a few basic variables of simplified space geometries. Review studies mainly discuss the historic development of optimization algorithms, building domains, and the algorithm-system and software framework performance with coupling issues. By providing a systemized clustering of different levels of shape integration intensities, space creation principals, and algorithms, this review explores the current status of sustainability related shape optimization. The review proves that geometry design variable modifications and, specifically, shape generation techniques offer promising optimization potential; however, the findings also indicate that building shape optimization is still in its infancy.

Abstract. Brief biographical information about Maxim SemenovichSubbotin, the founder of aseptic and antiseptic in Russia, is provided. In 1884, M.S. Subbotin heads the Department of Surgical Pathology at Kharkov University. In addition to scientific and pedagogical activities, he will devote a lot of time to the organizational issues of the clinic. He uses the surgical department of a military hospital as a clinical base for training students at Kharkov University. In addition to the course of surgical pathology with desmurgy, he also conducts a course of surgical surgery, and since 1887, a parallel course of the faculty surgical clinic. However, teaching and scientific work in a small clinic (25 beds) could not satisfy Maxim Semenovich, since by this time he had formed into a major surgeon and scientist, ready for wide surgical and scientific activities. Becoming the head of the Department of Surgical Pathology of the Imperial Medical and Surgical Academy (1890) M.S. Subbotin began its reorganization according to the requirements of asepsis. He organized a new dressing room, the walls and ceilings of which were painted with light oil paint, the floor is covered with ceramic tiles.An operating unit began to function, consisting of two operating rooms, a sterilization room, a bathroom and a material room. A laboratory was established to conduct research and control operations. The clinic strictly and sequentially carried out sterilization of instruments, dressings, processing of the surgical field. M.S. Subbotin studied the effect of carbolic acid on the body, used it to treat wounds. He created his own tent for operations, invented a sterilizer oven, a catgut sterilizer with dry steam, an autoclave, and hemorrhoidal forceps. M.S. Subbotin invented a drainage pump for the treatment of purulent cavities, first made thoracoplasty with pleural empyema. He introduced aseptic and antiseptic into surgical practice. Created a scientific surgical school: P.I. Bukhman, S.S. Girgolav, L.V. Orlov, N.N. Petrov, N.A. Schegolev and others

There are several hundred of abandoned oil wells in Jianghan oil field now. They were mainly started to be used in 70-80`s of last century, and mainly closed around 2000. After closure, the soil around the oil wells left uncultivated because of oil pollution, which caused serious waste of soil resource. In the present paper, 135 soil samples were collected from 15 oil well areas. Salinity, pH, petroleum hydrocarbon, heavy metals and some other elements were analyzed. According to the investigation, the soil of Jianghan oilfield showed high salinity, and tended to alkali. Petroleum hydrocarbon is dotted distribution, and some sites showed extremely high content as 24.67%. Some elements containing some heavy metals in Jianghan oilfield exceeded standard values and control samples, which may also be caused by oil exploitation.
