Violent and victimized bodies: sexual violence policy in England and Wales
This paper uses the notion of the body to frame an archaeology of sexual violence policy in England and Wales, applying and developing Pillowâs ideas. It argues that the dominant construction is of sexual violence as an individualized crime, with the solution being for a survivor to report, and with support often instrumentalized in relation to criminal justice objectives. However, criminal justice proceedings can intensify or create further trauma for sexual violence survivors. Furthermore, in addition to criminalizing the violent body and supporting the victimized one, there is a need for policy to produce alternative types of bodies through preventative interventions. Much sexual violence is situated within (hetero) sexual dynamics constructing a masculine aggressor and a feminine body which eventually yields. Prevention must therefore focus on developing embodied boundaries, and narratives at the margins of policy could underpin such efforts
Neutron charge form factor at large
The neutron charge form factor is determined from an analysis of
the deuteron quadrupole form factor data. Recent calculations, based
on a variety of different model interactions and currents, indicate that the
contributions associated with the uncertain two-body operators of shorter range
are relatively small for , even at large momentum transfer . Hence,
can be extracted from at large without undue
systematic uncertainties from theory.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

Death and Science: The Existential Underpinnings of Belief in Intelligent Design and Discomfort with Evolution
The present research examined the psychological motives underlying widespread support for intelligent design theory (IDT), a purportedly scientific theory that lacks any scientific evidence; and antagonism toward evolutionary theory (ET), a theory supported by a large body of scientific evidence. We tested whether these attitudes are influenced by IDT's provision of an explanation of life's origins that better addresses existential concerns than ET. In four studies, existential threat (induced via reminders of participants' own mortality) increased acceptance of IDT and/or rejection of ET, regardless of participants' religion, religiosity, educational background, or preexisting attitude toward evolution. Effects were reversed by teaching participants that naturalism can be a source of existential meaning (Study 4), and among natural-science students for whom ET may already provide existential meaning (Study 5). These reversals suggest that the effect of heightened mortality awareness on attitudes toward ET and IDT is due to a desire to find greater meaning and purpose in science when existential threats are activated
# 78 Methods to Support Co-operative Product Development
Abstract World-wide distributed product development processes and manufacturer supplier co-operation has become more important in recent years. This requires support for collaboration on the one hand and the administration of the generated data on the other hand. In this paper methods for determination of co-operation needs during distributed product development processes are presented. The particular cooperation situation which shall be supported can be classified by given criteria. New data management methods to support a distributed co-operation process are shown. A mapping scheme is provided that allows to assign these new data management methods to the classified co-operation needs
Multimediale Telekooperation im betrieblichen Umfeld Schlussbericht
1. A market analysis determined the need for distributed engineering. Common methodologies and information technologies to support distributed engineering teams are not broadly available. 2. The objective of MUVER (multimedia support for distributed engineering) is the stimulation of new services and applications in the field of teleworking especially in the domain of distributed engineering. 3. Based on the market analysis the project developed methodologies to support distributed engineering. The methodologies were presented, validated and updated by technical prototypes. 4. Essential results of the project are: Methods for task analysis, specification and modeling, a virtual task-based and team oriented multi-user environment, a generic, component based architecture to integrate task- and domain-specific toolboxes and to bridge different platforms. 5. The methodologies were presented within the DaimlerChrysler Company. They influence different internal projects where they were validated, updated and used. The prototypes were used as well for the presentation of the results as for real use in the company.
