Art


Services archive

We have two focus groups where members might like to consider this question:

Art and Science Connections

Art and Design in Indonesia

I would like to add another question to your question...

Is there any person who is not interested in art (in one form or another)?

OK... so only you can answer the question! But it is useful to find out what other people think about the subject. Your real reasons might seem trivial (e.g. "I thought the course would be easy and give me more time outside and not so much time inside with books") - but the real personal reasons are what drive motivations, and can have more than just personal significance. Many scientists do not really explain their personal reasons for doing research, or entering a particular field of study, and this is a pity, because it can help to communicate a subject if the writer is able to link it to the same kinds of ordinary confusion and concern that most people face, in all areas of life. Don't be shy about giving your real reasons, but show that you are conscious of other reasons that others might choose as explanation, even if they are not your reasons. How does anyone make decisions about anything, in reality? The subject of decision making is an entire research field in its own right.... and has applications throughout the sciences. So - speak from your heart, but be analytical at the same time.

The answer depends on the context, but your question has no context.

For example, if there is a large programme of forestry planting happening in your own country, it can be predicted that tree care will be needed in the early stages, and forestry road builders and timber mill managers will be needed in about 20 to 30 years time, depending on the species being planted. So a good reason to study forestry in this context would be to get employment in the industry.

In another context, there might be no forestry industry at all, and no investment, but there might be a real need to develop an industry. In this case, you might study forestry but also science writing, publishing and journalism with the aim of promoting development of an industry.

Dear ET,

Thanks for the suggestion. If Tokyo hospitals are thinking about this, what about the hospitals in Sendai, Morioka, and other towns and cities that are closer to the Fukushima power plant, and likely to be downwind when the prevailing winds change from offshore to onshore in late Spring?

Perhaps on our Research Co-op Japan page , we can start building our own page of links to important sources of information (Japanese, English, and other languages) on the problems that are emerging day by day. We will need help with this from many people.

Today I received a phone call from my brother in New Zealand, who studied medicine when he was at university. He recommended that our family here in Kyoto try to establish our own threshold level for making a decision to move before any dangerous level of radiation is reached here... even if we have no expectation that levels in Kyoto will become dangerous. For me and my wife, the level of tolerance could be quote high, but for our son, we should think about this carefully, as any intake of Cesium, Strontium or other long-lived isotopes could be damaging for his health, or for his children, in future decades.

My view is that e-publishing refers most often to electronic publishing using online formats, or digital recording media such as CDs and DVDs.

Multimedia publishing refers to the use of combined visual, audio, static image, moving image, and other forms of information transfer; e.g. a video that contains text, static images, and moving images. This can also be called mixed media publishing.

In this view, e-publishing is the more general term. It can include multimedia formats, but can also be entirely entirely visual, or entirely in another form.

Dear Labito,

I went to the search tab above, and used Ning Profile Search (in the drop down menu), and the keyword irrigation in the box for work interests. There are four members listed. I did not look at all of them. The following member has list of journals that might be useful for you, and you might like to contact him directly:

See: http://researchcooperative.org/profile/HAMMAMIMONCEF

Link checking for Research Cooperative


Services archive

Thanks,

What we need is someone to go through all or many of one particular kind of information or text area in the site, to see if there are any common problems. The links between Group pages can get broken when I make changes to Group page titles for example. So it would be good to go through the Group page description texts to make sure the links to other Groups are working.

A larger job are the notes.... but this can be reduced by looking at Notes that might most often be visited by people; e.g. the FAQ notes.

Probably the most likely area to find broken links is in pages set up to link to outside websites (e.g. the pages for publishers).
