Design Example: Calculating Safe Diameter for Wind-Exposed Disc

Assessing safety in wind-exposed installations is crucial to preventing potential failures. This example explores the calculation and design adjustments needed to mount a circular disc on a building facade, where wind forces are a primary concern. A 4-meter diameter disc was initially designed as an aesthetic feature facing winds at a velocity of 25 meters per second, with an air density of 1.25 kilograms per cubic meter. Given these conditions, the drag force on the disc was determined using...

INVISIBLE WOMEN IRELAND AND THE FIGHT TO ACCESS SAFE AND LEGAL ABORTION.

Chiara Cosentino

Medicina Nei Secoli

|September 1, 2018

Summary

Ireland's restrictive abortion laws render most women invisible, denying bodily autonomy. Legal termination requires travel abroad, criminalizing those unable to afford it or forcing clandestine procedures.

Area of Science:

Reproductive Health Law
Sociology of Law
Human Rights Law

Background:

The Irish legal framework for abortion is exceptionally restrictive, permitting it only when a woman's life is at risk.
This legislation effectively denies legal abortion access to the majority of women, infringing upon their bodily autonomy and reproductive rights.

Purpose of the Study:

To analyze how the Irish abortion legislation creates intersecting layers of invisibility for women.
To critique the legal and social implications of restrictive abortion laws on women's rights and agency.

Main Methods:

Qualitative analysis of Irish abortion legislation and constitutional provisions.
Discourse analysis of legal and social narratives surrounding abortion access in Ireland.

Main Results:

The legal framework equates a pregnant woman's life with the fetus', reducing her to a biological support and denying her subjectivity.
The necessity of traveling abroad for legal termination geographically and politically invisibilizes the choices and wills of most women.
Women unable to afford international travel are completely neglected, forced into clandestine and criminalized procedures.

Conclusions:

Irish abortion legislation constructs three tiers of 'invisible women,' systematically marginalizing their reproductive rights and bodily autonomy.
The law fails to recognize women as subjects with agency, particularly those facing socioeconomic barriers to accessing legal abortion services.
Urgent legal reform is needed to ensure equitable access to abortion and uphold the human rights of all women in Ireland.
