Understanding Of Science

Our understanding of science itself as a body of knowledge and as asystem of analysis and research has changed over the last decades, just asover the last two centuries, or especially after the age of Enlightement inEurope, science has become more powerful, more sophisticated and complex.It is rather difficult to determine where science ends and where technologybegins. In fact there is a gmwing awareness that the physical or nam sciences,as a means of studying and understanding nature, are relying on the more“humanistic“ and cultural approaches adopted by the social sciences or thehumanities. The tradition of natural science is being challenged by newdiscoveries of the non-physical and non-natural sciences which go beyondthe physical world.Certainly research is vital for the growth and development of all sciencesthat attempt to discover and understand the “secrets” of nature. The validityof any scientific theory depends on its research and methodological premisesand even that-its proposition or theories (in the words of a leading cosmologistand theoretical physicist, Stephen Hawking) -is tentative. Hawlung says: “Anyphysical theory is always provisional, in the sense that it is only a hypothesis:you can never prove it. No matter how many times the results of experimentsagree with some theory, you can never be sure that the next time the resultwill not contradict the theory. On the other hand, you can disprove a theoryby finding even a single observation that disagrees with the predictions ofthe theory.”The history of Western science is rooted in the idea of finding the ’truth’by objectivity. Nothing can be believed until there is a scientific proof ofits existence, or until it can be logically accepted by the rational mind. Theclassical scenario of scientific work gives you an austere picture of heroicactivity, undertaken against all odds, a ceaseless effort to subjugate hostileand menacing nature, and to tame its formidable forces. Science is depicted ...

O objeto de pesquisa deste artigo é o discurso midiático feito sobre o astrofísico Stephen Hawking. O jornal brasileiro Folha de S.Paulo é o meio de comunicação delimitado para estudo. O período para levantamento de dados midiáticos é de janeiro até março de 2015. Este artigo é parte integrante de uma pesquisa maior, que pretende estuda a imagem midiática de Stephen Hawking do ano de 2015 inteiro. O objetivo geral deste estudo é responder à seguinte questão: na grande mídia brasileira, especialmente no jornal delimitado, há sinais de discurso mitificador sobre o astrofísico Stephen Hawking? Os objetivos específicos são dois: primeiro, apresentar resumidamente a noção de “mito” segundo a semiologia de Roland Barthes; segundo, aplicar o método análise de conteúdo para levantamento e crítica dos textos publicados pela Folha de S.Paulo. Os resultados desta pesquisa, enfim, confirmam que há elementos de “hawkinidade” no material analisado.Palavras-chave: Mitificação. Stephen Hawking. Folha de S. Paulo. Semiologia. Roland Barthes.

The 1960S

Johan Liljencrants was a KTH oldtimer. His interests focused early on speech analysis and synthesis where in the 1960s he took a leading part in the development of analysis hardware, the OVE III speech synthesizer, and the introduction of computers in the Speech Transmission Laboratory. Later work shifted toward general speech signal processing, for instance in his thesis on the use of a reflection line synthesizer. His interests expanded to modelling the glottal system, parametrically as in the Liljencrants–Fant (LF) model of glottal waveshapes, as well as physically including glottal aerodynamics and mechanics.
