I begin with two books about the cosmos. The first one is Olaf Almqvist's Chaos, Cosmos and Creation in Early Greek Theogonies. This monograph skilfully combines approaches from classical studies, ...anthropology, and philosophy to offer an in-depth analysis of three competing cosmologies: Hesiod's Theogony, the Orphic theogony, and the creation myth in Plato's Protagoras. It also explores the repercussions of these tensions on ritual life. The book introduces it all through a lucid and enjoyable analysis of the opening lines of Pindar's Nemean Six, which the author sees as stressing the ontological tensions present in early Greek creation myths and blurring the lines between myth and philosophy.
High pressure chemistry is a widely used methodology in organic synthesis which helps to increase the rate and to improve the efficiency of chemical processes. The current publication outlines the ...impact of pressure on many types of chemical reactions important from synthetic point of view and gives practical considerations how to plan and perform synthetic experiments under high pressure in the lab.
This study aims to reveal women desires for freedom (without any menace), but she reproduces of male power restraints as it is represented in the drama script of Harold Pinter’s The Room. This ...research uses Žižek’s critical thinking framework regarding ideology, subject and practice. The approach used in this research is ground theory, the data used are quotations in the script, and the data source is the play script Harold Pinter’s The Room. With interpretation analysis techniques, this research reveals that the great ideals of women’s freedom are fantasmatic. Women’s freedom is an ideological fantasy. This play script reflects women’s freedom but instead explains the reality that they are shackled by patriarchal discourse. Harol Pinter seems to assert male power through the definition of women’s freedom through Rose in The Room. Therefore, the result shows that postmodernist, whose perspective is opposed to hierarchal system, is still trapped in patriarchal perspective AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkap hasrat perempuan akan kebebasan (tanpa ancaman), namun ia justru mereproduksi pengekangan kekuasaan laki-laki seperti yang ada dalam naskah drama The Room karya Harold Pinter. Penelitian ini menggunakan kerangka berpikir kritis Žižek tentang ideologi, subjek dan tindakan. Pendekatan yang digunakan dalam penelitian ini adalah grounded theory, data yang digunakan adalah kutipan dalam naskah, dan sumber datanya adalah naskah drama The Room karya Harold Pinter. Dengan Teknik analisis interpretasi, penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa cita-cita agung kebebasan perempuan bersifat fantasmatik. Kebebasan perempuan adalah fantasi ideologis. Teks drama ini merefleksikan Kebebasan perempuan tetapi justru menjelaskan realitas bahwa ia terbelenggu oleh wacana patriarkis. Harold Pinter menegaskan kuasa laki-laki melalui definisi kebebasan perempuan melalaui Rose dalam The Room. Dengan kata lain, hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa posmodernis, yang notabene menentang hirarki, juga ada yang patriarkis.
► We explore the merits and weaknesses of between-subjects and within-subjects designs in experimental work. ► We describe experiments in economics and in psychology that make comparisons using ...either of these designs (or both) that sometimes yield the same results and sometimes do not. ► Both have advantages; between-subjects designs are more conservative, but have less power. ► The overall goal is to establish a framework for understanding which critical questions need to be asked about such experimental studies.
In this article we explore the issues that surround within-subject and between-subject designs. We describe experiments in economics and in psychology that make comparisons using either of these designs (or both) that sometimes yield the same results and sometimes do not. The overall goal is to establish a framework for understanding which critical questions need to be asked about such experimental studies, what authors of such studies can do to ameliorate fears of confoundedness, and which scenarios are particularly susceptible to divergent results from the two approaches. Overall, we find that both designs have their merits, and the choice of designs should be carefully considered in the context of the question being studied and in terms of the practical implementation of the research study.
Transsexual people receive cross-sex hormones as part of their treatment, potentially inducing hormone-sensitive malignancies.
To examine the occurrence of breast cancer in a large cohort of Dutch ...male and female transsexual persons, also evaluating whether the epidemiology accords with the natal sex or the new sex.
Number of people with breast cancer between 1975 and 2011.
We researched the occurrence of breast cancer among transsexual persons 18–80 years with an exposure to cross-sex hormones between 5 to >30 years. Our study included 2,307 male-to-female (MtF) transsexual persons undergoing androgen deprivation and estrogen administration (52,370 person-years of exposure), and 795 female-to-male (FtM) subjects receiving testosterone (15,974 total years of exposure).
Among MtF individuals one case was encountered, as well as a probable but not proven second case. The estimated rate of 4.1 per 100,000 person-years (95% confidence interval CI: 0.8–13.0) was lower than expected if these two cases are regarded as female breast cancer, but within expectations if viewed as male breast cancer. In FtM subjects, who were younger and had shorter exposure to cross-sex hormones compared with the MtF group, one breast cancer case occurred. This translated into a rate of 5.9 per 100,000 person-years (95% CI: 0.5–27.4), again lower than expected for female breast cancer but within expected norms for male breast cancer.
The number of people studied and duration of hormone exposure are limited but it would appear that cross-sex hormone administration does not increase the risk of breast cancer development, in either MtF or FtM transsexual individuals. Breast carcinoma incidences in both groups are comparable to male breast cancers. Cross-sex hormone treatment of transsexual subjects does not seem to be associated with an increased risk of malignant breast development. Gooren LJ, van Trotsenburg MAA, Giltay EJ, and van Diest PJ. Breast cancer development in transsexual subjects receiving cross-sex hormone treatment. J Sex Med 2013;10:3129–3134.
Bioelectrochemistry is a fast growing field linking together electrochemistry, biochemistry, medicinal chemistry and analytical chemistry. The current book outlines the recent progress in the area ...and the applications in biological materials design and bioenergy, covering in particular biosensors, bioelectronic devices, biofuel cells, biodegradable batteries and biomolecule- based computing.
This volume is dedicated to a fundamental and comprehensive assessment of research on students' conceptions in the field of religion. Various theoretical approaches to researching students' religious ...conceptions are revealed, terminology is clarified and differentiations are introduced, and content-related and methodological prioritisations in the field of research are identified and reflected upon. By doing so fundamental opportunities and problems of researching students' religious conceptions are highlighted and new perspectives are developed.
Dieser Band widmet sich der Erforschung der Vorstellungen von Schüler:innen in der Domäne Religion mit einer grundlegenden und umfassenden Standortbestimmung. Verschiedene theoretische Zugänge der Erforschung religiöser Vorstellungen von Schüler:innen werden offengelegt, Begrifflichkeiten werden geklärt und Differenzierungen eingeführt, inhaltliche und methodische Schwerpunktsetzungen im Forschungsfeld werden ausgemacht und reflektiert. So werden prinzipielle Chancen und Probleme der Erforschung religiöser Vorstellungen von Schüler:innen aufgezeigt und neue Perspektiven entwickelt.
