The Stanford Prison Experiment03:20

The Stanford Prison Experiment

24.4K
The famous and controversial Stanford Prison Experiment, conducted by social psychologist Philip Zimbardo and his colleagues at Stanford University, demonstrated the power of social roles, social norms, and scripts.

Social Traps01:41

Social Traps

26.2K
Social traps are negative situations where people get caught in a direction or relationship that later proves to be unpleasant, with no easy way to back out of or avoid. The concept was orignally introduced by John Platt who applied psychology to Garrett Hardin's "Tragedy of the Commons", where in New England herd owners could let their cattle graze in the common ground. This situation seems like a good idea, but an individual could have an advantage. If they owned...

Robbers Cave04:49

Robbers Cave

14.7K
During the 1950s, the landmark Robbers Cave experiment demonstrated that when groups must compete with one another, intergroup conflict, hostility, and even violence may result. At the Oklahoman summer camp, two troops of boys—termed the Rattlers and the Eagles—took part in a week-long tournament. During this time, their negativity culminated in derogatory name-calling, fistfights, and even vandalism and destruction of property. However, this work also revealed that such tension...

Quarrying of Stone01:15

Quarrying of Stone

459
Quarrying is the process of extracting stone from a quarry, where specialized techniques are employed to remove large blocks of stone safely and efficiently. This process can involve controlled explosions or more precision-oriented methods such as cutting and drilling.
One common method involves using a diamond belt saw to cut large blocks from the quarry face. These blocks can be about 50 feet long and 12 feet high. After the initial vertical cut, drilling is performed at the base of the...

Stresses in a Shaft01:18

Stresses in a Shaft

786
The shaft PQ is subjected to a twisting force when equal and opposite torques are applied on either side. A section that cuts perpendicular to the shaft's axis at any arbitrary point R is examined to understand this. When the free-body diagram of the QR segment is analyzed, it reveals the shearing forces exerted by the PR portion onto the QR segment as the shaft experiences twisting.
Applying equilibrium conditions to the QR segment establishes that the internal shearing forces within the...

Design Example: Strain Gauge Bridge or Wheatstone Bridge

903
The utilization of strain gauges as transducers for converting mechanical strain into electrical signals is a common practice in various engineering applications. These strain gauges are frequently integrated into Wheatstone bridge circuits to accurately measure parameters such as force or pressure. Within this context, each element within the circuit exhibits a resistance that undergoes subtle variations when subjected to mechanical strain. The primary objective is to convert minuscule...

Area of Science:

  • Orthopedic Surgery
  • Medical History

Background:

  • The Girdlestone situation, described in 1945, was originally a femoral head excision for acute pyogenic hip infections.
  • Surgical procedures and their indications often evolve over time based on new research and clinical experience.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a biography of Gathorne Robert Girdlestone.
  • To investigate the evolution of the Girdlestone situation's indications and surgical techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of historical and contemporary publications.
  • Biographical research on Gathorne Robert Girdlestone.

Main Results:

  • The Girdlestone situation procedure has undergone significant changes since its inception.
  • Indications for the procedure have also evolved considerably over the decades.

Conclusions:

  • The Girdlestone situation remains a relevant, albeit modified, surgical option in specific orthopedic contexts.
  • Understanding the historical evolution provides valuable insight into current surgical practices and future developments.
