Characteristics of Practical Op Amps

Characteristics of Practical Op Amps

A difference amplifier, a crucial component in numerous electronic devices, ideally amplifies only the difference-mode signal, which is the difference between two input signals. However, in practical circuits, the output voltage depends on both the differential gain and the common-mode gain.
The ratio of differential gain to the common-mode gain is defined as the common-mode rejection ratio (CMRR). This ratio quantifies the ability of operational amplifiers (op-amps) to reject common-mode...

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theoretical Foundations of Nursing Practice

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

Equivalent Circuits for Practical Transformers

Equivalent Circuits for Practical Transformers

The practical equivalent circuits of single-phase two-winding transformers exhibit significant deviations from their idealized versions due to the inherent properties of winding resistance and finite core permeability. These properties result in real and reactive power losses, affecting the transformer's performance. Understanding these deviations is crucial for designing more efficient transformers.
In a practical transformer, each winding exhibits resistance and leakage reactance. The...

Sustainable Development

Sustainable Development

As the human population continues to grow and use resources, we must be mindful of our planet’s natural limits. Sustainable development provides a pathway to maintain and improve human life now while also ensuring that future generations will have the resources that they need. The long-term success of sustainability efforts rests on understanding the interplay between human actions and ecological systems.

pH

The potential of hydrogen (pH) is a measure of the acidity or basicity of a water-based solution determined by the concentration of hydronium ions (H3O+). In one liter of pure water at neutral pH, there are 1×10−7 moles of hydronium ions. However, the extensive range of hydronium ion concentrations present in water-based solutions makes measuring pH in moles cumbersome. Therefore, a pH scale was developed to convert moles of hydronium ions into the negative logarithm of the hydronium...

Atomic Mass

Atomic Mass

Atoms — and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them — are extremely small. For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × 10−23 g. When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu). The amu was originally defined based on hydrogen, the lightest element, then later in terms of oxygen. Since 1961, it has been defined with regard to the most abundant isotope of carbon, atoms of which...

This study reveals how choreography perpetuates social hierarchies and gender expectations. It uses dance-making to challenge ingrained assumptions in the United Kingdom's dance world.

Area of Science:

Sociology of the arts
Gender studies
Performance studies

Background:

The United Kingdom's dance field exhibits a status disparity between female and male choreographers.
Choreographic practices can embody and reinforce societal values.
This research is part of a broader ethnographic study on choreographers.

Purpose of the Study:

To explore embodiment and gender representation within choreographic practice.
To investigate how choreography perpetuates sociocultural values and gender expectations.
To challenge habitual assumptions in dance performance and training.

Main Methods:

Utilized a dance-making process named Sonnet.
The process aimed to expose ingrained expectations in dance performances.

Keywords:

Bourdieu choreography embodied gender habitus identity practice-as-research

Employed Pierre Bourdieu's concept of habitus (embodiment) for analysis.

Main Results:

The study indicates that social hierarchies are perpetuated within dance training and practice.
Choreography was shown to embody and reinforce sociocultural values related to gender.
The Sonnet process heightened awareness of gendered expectations in dance.

Conclusions:

Dance training and practice reflect and perpetuate social hierarchies, influenced by gender.
Choreographic methods can be used to critically examine and challenge ingrained sociocultural norms.
Sociological perspectives, particularly Bourdieu's habitus, offer valuable frameworks for understanding embodiment in dance.
