Summary
This study explores the labor of science and the science of labor, focusing on invisibility to create a more inclusive history of science. It highlights gendered practices and interdependencies in scientific work.
Area of Science:
- History of Science
- Sociology of Science
- Labor Studies
Background:
- The relationship between the science of labor and the labor of science is often overlooked.
- Historical understanding of science and labor can be deepened by examining their connections.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore themes of vulnerability, affect, and interdependence in the context of scientific labor.
- To articulate research questions about science and labor through a co-created syllabus focusing on invisibility.
- To challenge and historicize the concept of invisible labor by facilitating cross-disciplinary and cross-temporal comparisons.
Main Methods:
- A collaborative syllabus development process.
- Thematic organization into six modules.
- Facilitating comparisons across geographic, temporal, conceptual, and disciplinary boundaries.
Main Results:
- The co-created syllabus addresses research questions on science and labor from multiple angles.
- The syllabus aims to challenge the concept of invisible labor.
- It promotes a more expansive understanding of scientific labor and its history.
Conclusions:
- Greater attention to the connections between science and labor can lead to more inclusive histories of science.
- Highlighting gendered labor practices and interdependencies is crucial for understanding scientific production.
- Promoting self-reflexivity on methods used to narrate the history of science is essential.

As a system undergoes a change, its internal energy can change, and energy can be transferred from the system to the surroundings, or from the surroundings to the system.

01:23Methods of Documentation V: CBE
906
Charting by Exception, or CBE, is a method of documentation used in healthcare, particularly in nursing, that focuses on documenting only significant or abnormal findings rather than recording every detail. This approach aims to streamline the documentation process, improve efficiency, and ensure that healthcare providers can quickly identify deviations from normalcy in patient assessments.
In CBE, healthcare professionals establish predefined standards of practice that define what constitutes...

00:51Radical Formation: Elimination
1.7K
Another method of radical formation is the elimination process. It is the opposite of the addition route and is driven by the instability of the radical. For example, as depicted in Figure 1, dibenzoyl peroxide yields a pair of unstable radicals upon homolysis. Given its instability, this radical spontaneously undergoes elimination via a C–C bond cleavage to form a relatively more stable phenyl radical. The mechanism involves cleavage of the bond between the α and β positions...

Problem-intervention-evaluation (PIE) is a systematic approach to documentation used in healthcare settings for clinical decision-making and patient care planning. It is a structured approach to organizing patient data based on problems, interventions, and evaluations. Here's a breakdown of its key features and considerations:

01:13Principle of Virtual Work: Problem Solving
1.2K
The principle of virtual work is an essential concept in the field of mechanics and engineering. This is used to solve problems related to the equilibrium of a structure or system. It is based on the assumption that if a system is in equilibrium, the work done by all the forces during a virtual displacement is zero. This principle is applied by considering virtual displacements of the system and the corresponding work done by internal and external forces.

01:06Virtual Work for a System of Connected Rigid Bodies
388
Virtual work is a powerful method used to solve problems involving several connected rigid bodies. When the system is in equilibrium, virtual work is zero. This allows the calculation of the resulting forces when a system undergoes a virtual displacement. When attempting to analyze such a system, first, use a free-body diagram, where an independent coordinate represents the configuration of the links, and mark its deflected position resulting from the positive virtual displacement.
