Principles And Standards

The new NCTM Principles and Standards for School Mathematics (2000) were presented to the public with great fanfare at the NCTM Annual Meeting in Chicago in April of this year. The mood was celebratory, perhaps even more so than when the 1989 Standards were presented. How will these new Principles and Standards be accepted? What influence will they have? Are there messages here to which the research community ought to be attending?

The articles in this special issue of Practicing Anthropology grew out of a symposium on "Women Anthropologists in the Public and Private Sectors: Opportunities for Non-Academic Career Advancement" sponsored by the Committee on the Status of Women (COSWA) at the 1981 Annual Meeting of the American Anthropological Association. As organizers of the panel, Donald Lindburg and I sought participants from each subfield of anthropology working in both the public and private sectors. In the first regard we were successful, with presentations by social, linguistic and physical anthropologists and two archeologists. In the second regard we were less successful, with four of the five panelists—Sibley, Wynn, Wildesen, and Brockman—employed by private concerns.

Bad Data

COVID science is being both done and circulated at a furious pace. While it is inspiring to see the research community responding so vigorously to the pandemic crisis, all this activity has also created a churning sea of bad data, conflicting results, and exaggerated headlines. With representations of science becoming increasingly polarized, twisted, and hyped, there is growing concern that the relevant science is being represented to the public in a manner that may cause confusion, inappropriate expectations, and the erosion of public trust. Here we explore some of the key issues associated with the representations of science in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these issues are not new. But the COVID-19 pandemic has placed a spotlight on the biomedical research process and amplified the adverse ramifications of poor public communication. We need to do better. As such, we conclude with 10 recommendations aimed at key actors involved in the communication of COVID-19 science, including government, funders, universities, publishers, media, and the research communities.

Deep Learning Model

Abstract After significant earthquakes, we can see images posted on social media platforms by individuals and media agencies owing to the mass usage of smartphones these days. These images can be utilized to provide information about the shaking damage in the earthquake region both to the public and research community, and potentially to guide rescue work. This paper presents an automated way to extract the damaged building images after earthquakes from social media platforms such as Twitter and thus identify the particular user posts containing such images. Using transfer learning and ~6500 manually labelled images, we trained a deep learning model to recognize images with damaged buildings in the scene. The trained model achieved good performance when tested on newly acquired images of earthquakes at different locations and ran in near real-time on Twitter feed after the 2020 M7.0 earthquake in Turkey. Furthermore, to better understand how the model makes decisions, we also implemented the Grad-CAM method to visualize the important locations on the images that facilitate the decision.

Opt Out

Very few attempts have been made to survey patient opinions, particularly regarding the use of residual biospecimens and health information in research, to clarify their values. We conducted a questionnaire survey that targeted outpatients of a university hospital to gauge their awareness levels and understand patient perspectives on research that uses these items. Few patients felt that obtaining individual consent for each research study was necessary. Most patients expressed the view that researchers should be obligated to inform them about the research use of their items and be subject to self-directed rules (including sanctions). The research community should try to obtain “societal consent regarding an opt-out system” from the public. A salient value-sharing-based governance structure is necessary for obtaining public trust.
