Science and Technology Studies presentation
Science and Technology Studies (STS) examines how science and technology shape society and how society shapes the development of science and technology. There are several perspectives in STS, including the sociology of scientific knowledge which questions the idealized accounts of the scientific process. Actor-network theory, developed by Bruno Latour, examines how scientific knowledge is produced through relationships between human and non-human actors. The field also studies topics like the influence of gender on scientific fields and work-family conflicts in academia. The Sokal Affair showed how scientific jargon can be misused and highlighted tensions between natural and social scientists.
Science, technology and society
Traditional vs. contemporary science and technology
- Traditional tools included the abacus and Morse code, while contemporary tools include scientific calculators and laptops.
- Fields of study have expanded from chemistry to include biochemistry, which studies chemical processes in living organisms.
- Technology has become more complex, as seen in the Apollo 8 spacecraft having 5.6 million parts compared to automobiles today containing around 14,000 parts on average.
- Scientific research now requires large teams and facilities rather than individual work, and the number of scientific publications has grown exponentially in the last centuries.
Humanizing Change in the Fourth Industrial Revolution
How can we make workplaces more human and use behavioral science in leading change? What are the ethical challenges of the 4th industrial revolution?

When we google, search Wikipedia, and share information on Mendeley, we obviously deal with complex networks of information. But also traditional information spaces – the collections of libraries for instance – and their classification systems are evolving complex systems. This talk explores the possibilities to use concepts and methods from statistical physics to analyze information dynamics. We depart from information dynamics in scholarly communication, and point to current encounters between physics and scientometrics. We discuss more in-depth the evolution of category systems in libraries (Universal Decimal Classification) in comparison to on-line spaces (Wikipedia). The talk closes with an introduction into a new European network – the COST Action KnowEscape – in which information professionals, sociologists, computer scientists, physicists and digital humanities scholars in an unique alliance seek for knowledge maps to better navigate through large information spaces.

Other parts include the cell membrane, cytoplasm, ribosomes, vacuoles, chloroplasts, and the nuclear membrane surrounding the nucleus.
Goods and bad’s of chemicals
The document discusses both the positive and negative effects of chemicals. Positively, chemicals like preservatives help preserve food, medicines treat illnesses, fertilizers promote plant growth, and pesticides kill pests. However, some chemicals can cause allergies or food intolerance. While preservatives preserve food, they can harm the body. Fertilizers and pesticides also hurt the environment as runoff can pollute drinking water and make people or plants sick.
Harmful chemicals
This document discusses several harmful chemicals and the diseases they can cause. It explains that cancer is caused by abnormal cell growth and can affect different organs. Carcinogens like those in tobacco can cause lung cancer. Exposure to chemicals like alcohol and drugs while pregnant can harm the unborn child and cause issues like fetal alcohol syndrome. Heart disease, a leading cause of death, occurs when arteries are narrowed by chemicals like cholesterol. Kidney disease can also result from chemicals damaging the kidneys.
Identifing chemicals
This document discusses the key concepts of chemicals, matter, and elements. It defines a chemical as a substance formed through a chemical process. Matter is anything that has mass or volume. Elements are the most basic substances that substances can be broken down into. The document also distinguishes between natural elements that exist in nature and synthetic elements created by scientists.
Ddt concentation
DDT concentration increases greatly as it moves up the food chain. Specifically, DDT concentration increased more than 8 million times between lower and higher levels of the food chain. This demonstrates how toxins can bioaccumulate in organisms that consume other organisms and become concentrated at each level.
Gabe and david pp
The document discusses the risks and benefits of chemicals used for sanitation and food preservation. It describes how sanitation aims to treat wastewater to make it safe for human and environmental use through removal of contaminants. It also explains that food preservatives have been used for centuries to inhibit microbial growth that causes spoilage, with common preservatives being salt and vinegar which both chemically prohibit spoilage microorganisms.
Sarah and abigail power point
Chemicals can be defined as substances that have a definite composition and are formed through chemical processes. Water is made up of the same two substances, hydrogen and oxygen, in the same proportions regardless of where it is found. Matter is anything that takes up space and has mass, while mass is the amount of matter in a substance and volume is the space it occupies. Elements are substances that cannot be broken down further, mixtures are combinations of substances that are not chemically joined, and compounds form when elements chemically combine.
Identifying substance_a_1
The document discusses several physical properties that can be used to identify substances:
Density is the mass per unit volume and can be calculated using the formula density=mass/volume. Melting and boiling points refer to the phases of matter - solid, liquid, gas - and the energy absorbed or released during phase changes. Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance and can be measured in joules per gram per degree Celsius. Solubility measures how much of a substance dissolves in another substance, such as sugar dissolving in water to form a solution.
Project chris and tirth
Harmful chemicals can cause several diseases and disorders including cancer, birth defects, heart disease, kidney disease, and asthma. Cancer is caused by abnormal cell growth that can affect specific organs. Birth defects may occur if a woman smokes, drinks alcohol, or uses drugs during pregnancy which can cause problems like cleft lip or palate. Heart disease develops when arteries that supply blood to the heart are narrowed or blocked. Kidney disease may happen when chemicals harm the kidneys' ability to filter waste from the blood. Asthma involves difficulty breathing due to swollen, inflamed air passages in the lungs.

The document discusses the effects of chemicals on organisms, using DDT as an example. It explains that while DDT was initially produced to act as an effective pesticide, saving many lives, it was later discovered to negatively impact bird populations. The document also defines key concepts like dose, potency, exposure time, individual susceptibility, and chemical concentration that determine how chemicals impact organisms.
Jordans law powerpoint_2
The document discusses the law of conservation of matter, which states that the total mass of a chemical reaction remains the same even as the substances change form. It provides examples like rust forming or cooking eggs, where the total mass before and after the reaction is equal. The document also shows a chemical equation for methane and oxygen reacting to form carbon dioxide and water, illustrating how the total mass is conserved during the reaction.

Physical properties like density, melting and boiling points, and specific heat can be used to identify substances. Density is a substance's mass per unit volume. Melting point is the temperature when a solid turns to a liquid, while boiling point is when a liquid turns to a gas. Specific heat is the amount of heat needed to raise the temperature of a substance. Solubility measures how well a substance dissolves in another, and chemical properties describe how a substance changes under certain conditions like reactivity.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Scientific investigations, reporting and analyzing data,
- 1. SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS, REPORTING AND ANALYZING DATA, SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, AND PROCESS OF ENGINEERING AND DESIGN
- 2. SCIENTIFIC INVESTIGATIONS The goal of a scientist is to discover and explain the patterns of work at natural systems As scientists gather more evidence, their theories can change When scientists explain their observations, they sometimes make inferences Scientists often make a hypothesis to predict what will happen to the experiment An explanation shows why or how the event happened
- 3. REPORTING AND ANALYZING DATA Some coastal regions of North Carolina may be underwater within the next few centuries Tables and graphs are useless if they are not well organized Different graphs and tables can help scientists in certain ways Scientists rely on computer to help them run experiments, analyze data, and present their findings Simulations use the calculating power of a computer to recreate events that are too dangerous, expensive, or time-consuming to produce in a regular laboratory
- 4. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Technology can refer to both how people use it and the object itself Technology can mean more than human-made things Science is the foundation of technology 1900-40% of the nations population lived and worked in farms and grew enough for 2.5 people Today-less than 5% live and work on farms and grow enough for 100 people Science is able to answer questions about the natural material
- 5. SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY Some technologies are solutions to problems that are specific to the scientific practice Neither science nor technology can address the moral and ethical of humanity
- 6. PROCESS OF ENGINEERING AND DESIGN A constraint is any factor that limits what can be done when designing and building different types of technology There are two main types off constraints: natural and social A natural constraint is one that exists because of a set natural law A social constraint is one that exists because it is socially set Many car engines are developed through social constraints scientist try to discover and explain the patterns at work in the natural systems
