<p class="Bodytext20">Language and media are accused of being an effective tool for perpetuating the dominance of men over women through word and image. This paper reviews how language uses words that deliberately 'marginalize' women. While the media continues to contain images and events that also discredit and degrade women's dignity. Because of the many perspectives on violence, this article will only understand violence according to the Galtung perspective. Because, as known Johan Galtung is a sociologist who devoted his attention to violence as a social phenomenon two decades past. Injustice and inequality due to social gender either through language with the harsh and degrading selection of words and degrading women's dignity or through the media that shows women as sex objects and commodities shows that violence will continue. Because, in addition to the media have the authority as the holder of the news an event, women themselves attitudes justify, underline and accept the myth of male domination of women. If people think women are not as smart as men, they tend to accept because they accept the authority of society.</p><p class="Bodytext20"> </p><p class="Bodytext20">Bahasa dan media dituding sebagai alat yang efektif untuk mengekalkan dominasi laki-laki atas perempuan melalui kata maupun gambar. Tulisan ini mengulas bagaimana bahasa menggunakan kata yang dengan sengaja ‘meminggirkan’ kaum perempuan. Sedangkan media terus menerus memuat gambar dan peristiwa yang juga memojokkan dan merendahkan martabat kaum perempuan. Karena banyaknya perspektif tentang kekerasan, tulisan ini hanya akan memahami kekerasan menurut perspektif Galtung. Sebab, sebagaimana diketahui Johan Galtung merupakan sosiolog yang mencurahkan perhatiannya pada kekerasan sebagai fenomena sosial dua dasa warsa terakhir. Ketidakadilan dan ketidak setaraan akibat jenis kelamin sosial baik melalui bahasa dengan pemilihan kata-kata yang kasar dan merendahkan martabat perempuan maupun melalui media yang menayangkan perempuan sebagai obyek dan komoditas seks menunjukkan bahwa kekerasan masih akan terus berlangsung. Sebab, selain media memiliki otoritas sebagai pemegang pemberitaan sebuah peristiwa, perempuan sendiri sikapnya ikut membenarkan, menggarisbawahi dan menerima saja mitos dominasi laki-laki atas perempuan. Kalau masyarakat menilai perempuan tidak sepintar laki-laki, mereka cenderung menerima karena mereka menerima otoritas masyarakat.</p>

By drawing on a selection of interviews from the website Engaged Philosophy, this paper highlights the work of philosopher-activists within their classrooms and communities. These philosophers have stepped out of the ivory towers and work directly with media, community and political groups, people in prison; or they encourage their students to engage in activist projects. The variety of approaches presented here shows the many ways philosophically inspired activism can give voice to those who are marginalized, shine a light on injustices, expose the root of social problems, and empower others to seek solutions. This work shows the relevance of philosophy to practical problems and the powerful effects it can have in the world.

W00t is a contraction of an exclamation once popular in Dungeons & Dragons, Wow, Loot! , imported online by nostalgic gamers. W00t is a codeword for root, the privileged user account of a system administrator, in the jargon of old-school hackers. W00t is onomatopoeic, imitating the sounds made by video games or by Daffy Duck or by railroad trains. W00t is an acronym, standing for “We owned the other team” and also “Want one of those.” W00t originated in dance clubs, where rappers in the early 1990s inspired shouts of “Whoot, there it is!” W00t comes from the Arsenio Hall Show, the Wizard of Oz books, Pretty Woman, Bloom County. Or it may be an inversion of the old Scots negation hoot, or a perversion of woeten, ostensibly an antiquated Dutch greeting. The many contradictory etymologies of w00t, of which the above are only a sampling, have baffled journalists and addled lexicographers since at least 2007, when the dictionary publisher Merriam-Webster announced that w00t was the Word of the Year. The term was chosen in a poll conducted on the Merriam-Webster website from a selection of the twenty most popular entries in the company’s user-generated Open Dictionary. In a public announcement the publisher was vague about the significance of the vote: “The word you’ve selected hasn’t found its way into a regular Merriam-Webster dictionary yet—but its inclusion in our online Open Dictionary, along with the top honors it’s now been awarded—might just improve its chances.” And in interviews with the media the Merriam- Webster staff seemed befuddled by the choice. “This is a word that was made up, has no classical roots, but has lasted,” the editor at large Peter Sokolowski told Newsweek. “I can’t say that w00t will stick, but it does show that sense of adventure in language that young people have.” In the absence of more authoritative information about the meaning of the word or where it came from reporters cobbled together whatever origin stories they could from the vast repository of lore on Wikipedia, the Urban Dictionary, and the web.

Utilizing a 2 (lyrics: present or absent) × 2 (images: present or absent) design, this study examined the unique effects of sexually degrading music videos and music lyrics on males’ aggressive behavior toward women, as well as males’ endorsement of rape myths and sexual stereotypes. Under the guise of a media memory study, 187 male undergraduate students were randomly assigned to one of four conditions. Despite the many psychological theories predicting an effect, the presentation of sexually degrading content in a visual or auditory medium (or combination thereof) did not significantly alter the participants’ aggression and self-reported endorsement of rape myths and sexual stereotypes. The null findings challenge the many corporate and governmental restrictions placed on sexual content in the media over concern for harmful effects.

The Viennese modern choreographer Gertrud Bodenwieser's black coat leads to an analysis of her choreography in four main phases – the early European career; the rise of Nazism; war's brutality; and postwar attempts at reconciliation. Utilising archival and embodied research, the article focuses on a selection of Bodenwieser costumes that survived her journey from Vienna, or were remade in Australia, and their role in the dramaturgy of works such as Swinging Bells (1926), The Masks of Lucifer (1936, 1944), Cain and Abel (1940) and The One and the Many (1946). In addition to dance history, costume studies provides a distinctive way to engage with the question of what remains of performance, and what survives of the historical conditions and experience of modern dance-drama. Throughout, Hannah Arendt's book The Human Condition (1958) provides a critical guide to the acts of reconstruction undertaken by Bodenwieser as an émigré choreographer in the practice of her craft, and its ‘materializing reification’ of creative thought. As a study in affective memory, information regarding Bodenwieser's personal life becomes interwoven with the author's response to the material evidence of costumes, oral histories and documents located in various Australian archives. By resurrecting the ‘dead letters’ of this choreography, the article therefore considers how dance costumes offer the trace of an artistic resistance to totalitarianism.

This chapter reviews the many appearances, disappearances, and reappearances of axiomatic thought about social choice and elections since the era of ancient Greek democracy. Social choice is linked to the wider public-choice movement because both are theories of agency. Thus, just as the first public-choice theorists include Hobbes, Hume, and Madison, so the first social-choice theorists include Pliny, Llull, and Cusanus. The social-choice theory of agency appears in many strands. The most important of these are binary vs. nonbinary choice; aggregation of judgement vs. aggregation of opinion; and selection of one person vs. selection of many people. The development of social choice required both a public-choice mindset and mathematical skill.

Evidence-based assessment relies on research and theory to inform the selection of constructs to be assessed for a specific assessment purpose, the methods and measures to be used in the assessment, and the manner in which the assessment process unfolds. An evidence-based approach to clinical assessment necessitates the recognition that, even when evidence-based instruments are used, the assessment process is a decision-making task in which hypotheses must be iteratively formulated and tested. In this chapter, we review (a) the progress that has been made in developing an evidence-based approach to clinical assessment in the past decade and (b) the many challenges that lie ahead if clinical assessment is to be truly evidence-based.

This essay derives from the primary need to make order between direct and indirect sources available for the reconstruction of the history of video art in Italy in the seventies. In fact, during the researches for the Ph.D. thesis it became clear that in most cases it is difficult to define, in terms of facts, which of the different historiographies should be taken into consideration to deepen the study of video art in Italy. Beyond legitimate differences of perspectives and methods, historiographical narratives all share similar issues and narrative structure. The first intention of the essay is, therefore, to compare the different historiographic narratives on Italian video art of the seventies, verifying their genealogy, the sources used and the accuracy of the narrated facts. For the selection of the corpus, it was decided to analyze in particular monographic volumes dealing with the history of the origins of video art in Italy. The aim was, in fact, to get a wide range of types of "narrations", as in the case of contemporary art and architecture magazines, which are examined in the second part of the essay. After the selection, for an analytical and comparative study of the various historiography, the essay focuses only on the Terza Biennale Internazionale della Giovane Pittura. Gennaio ’70. Comportamenti, oggetti e mediazioni (Third International Biennial of Young Painting. January '70. Behaviors, Objects and Mediations, 1970, Bologna), the exhibition which - after Lucio Fontana's pioneering experiments - is said to be the first sign of the arrival of videotape in Italy (called at the time videorecording), curated by Renato Barilli, Tommaso Trini, Andrea Emiliani and Maurizio Calvesi. The narration given so far of this exhibition appeared more mythological than historical and could be compared structurally to that of the many numerous beginnings that historiographyies on international video art identify as ‘first’ and ‘generative’. In the first part of the essay the 'facts' related to Gennaio ’70, as narrated by historiography on video art, are compared. In the second part the survey is carried out through some of the direct sources identified during the research, with the aim of answering to questions raised by the comparison between historiographies. Concluding, it is important to underline that the tapes containing the videos transmitted have not been found and seem to have disappeared since the ending of the exhibition. Nevertheless, the deepening of the works and documentation transmitted during the exhibition is possible thanks to other types of sources which give us many valuable information regarding video techniques and practices at the beginning of 1970 in Italy.

Four hundred seven healthy, full-term infants were divided into three groups and fed, respectively, a formula of evaporated milk and water with 5% carbohydrate; human milk; and a special modified evaporated milk designed to simulate human milk. No other foods were added to the diet. A comparison of the three groups was made, based on weight gains from birth to the end of the first 4 weeks. The conclusions refer only to weight gains; no attempt was made to determine the superiority of any particular diet. The data show no significant differences in the 4-week weight gains among the three groups of infants, although sensitive statistical methods could be validly applied to the problem. These methods are explained. The authors wish to emphasize the many variables which must be taken into account in a study of this sort; the necessity for careful selection of valid statistical methods; the importance of critical clinical judgement in the evaluation of the results.

This article considers the role of the media as a partner of the state and society, as well as spontaneity. Due to this, media serve as one of the factors in the formation of national self-consciousness and its elements, such as shame. The author analyzes such element of national identity as national shame. It is proved that national shame as a social phenomenon has a social meaning of the regulator of human relationships in social existence. It is noted that national shame is socially determined, has a permanent character, and its socially significant semantic principles are passed from generation to generation as a form of behavior through implantation and interspersing it as a daily norm of people's behavior, giving each act a value-significant meaning.

As the level of Si-wafer surface directly affects device line-width capability, process latitude, yield, and throughput in fabrication of microchips, it needs to have ultra precision surface and flatness. Polishing is one of the important processing having influence on the surface roughness in manufacturing of Si-wafers. The surface roughness in wafer polishing is mainly affected by the many process parameters. For decreasing the surface roughness, the control of polishing parameters is very important. In this paper, the optimum condition selection of ultra precision wafer polishing and the effect of polishing parameters on the surface roughness were evaluated by the statistical analysis of the process parameters.
