Sheila Jasanoff Technologies of Humility: Citizen Participation in Governing Science

Building on recent theories of science in society, such as that provided by the ‘Mode 2’ framework, this paper argues that governments should reconsider existing relations among decision-makers, experts, and citizens in the management of technology. Policy-makers need a set of ‘technologies of humility’ for systematically assessing the unknown and the uncertain. Appropriate focal points for suc...

Law's knowledge: science for justice in legal settings.

Legal developments following Daubert v Merrell Dow Pharmaceuticals, Inc indicate a growing need to reevaluate the decision's fundamental assumptions about law, science, and their interactions.I argue that in Daubert and two successor cases, the Supreme Court misconceived both the nature of scientific practice and its links to legal fact-finding. The decisions endorsed a separatist model of law ...

The effect of localizing the design and production of Meta-text based e-book on the levels of student learning and retention

Also, localization is the consideration of indigenous knowledge in order to accumulate global knowledge of local needs and desires. In this research, with the native approach and according to the existing need, first In this research, the e-book، d...

Localizing of a Four-Level Atom via Absorption Spectrum

We propose a scheme for localizing an atom in a four-level configuration inside a classical standing wave field, conditioned upon the measurement of frequency of a weak probe field. In the classical standing wave field, the interaction between the atom and the field is position dependent due to the Rabi-frequency of the driving field. Hence, as the absorption frequency of the probe field is mea...
