The Meanings of Modesty : Education of Daughters in the Culture of the Nobility in Northern Europe in the late 18th Century

By the end of the 18th century the daughters of the nobility in the northern parts of Europe received a quite different kind of education from their brothers. Although the cultural aims of the upbringing of girls were similar to that of boys, the practice of the raising of girls was less influenced by tradition. The education of boys was one of classical humanistic and military training, but the girls were more freely educated. The unity and exclusiveness of the culture of nobility were of great importance to the continued influence of this elite. The importance of education became even greater, partly because of the unstable political situation, and partly because of the changes the Enlightenment had caused in the perception of the human essence. The delicate and ambitious hônnete homme was expected to constantly strive to a greater perfection as a Christian. On the other hand, the great weight given to aesthetics - etiquette and taste - made individual variation of the contents of education possible. Education consisted mainly in aesthetic studies; girls studied music, dancing, fine arts, epistolary skills and also the art of polite conversation. On the other hand, there was a demand for enlightenment, and one often finds personal political and social ambitions, which made competition in all skills necessary for the daughters as well. Literary sources for the education of girls are Madame LePrince de Beaumont, Madame d'Epinay, Madame de Genlis and Charles Rollin. Other, perhaps even more important sources are the letters between parents and children and papers originating from studies. Diaries and memoirs also tell us about the practice of education in day to day life. The approach of this study is semiotic. It can be stated that the code of the culture was well hidden from the outsider. This was achieved, for instance, by the adaptation of the foreign French language and culture. The core of the culture consisted of texts which only thorough examples stated the norms which were expressed as good taste. Another important feature of the culture was its tendency towards theatricalisation. The way of life was dictated by taste, and moral values were included in the aesthetic norms through the constant striving for modesty. Pleasant manners were also correct in an ethical perspective. Morality could thus also be taught through etiquette

FAIR-IMPACT

In this poster we present the FAIR-IMPACT project, “Expanding FAIR solutions across EOSC”, which is funded by the European Commission Horizon Europe programme. The acronym FAIR stands for Findable, Accessible, Interoperable and Reusable. The project is coordinated by DANS and supported by 27 additional partners from 11 countries. FAIR-IMPACT will build on the successful practices, policies, tools and technical specifications arising from FAIRsFAIR other H2020 projects and initiatives, and from the FAIR and other relevant Working Groups of the former European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) Executive Board. The FAIR-IMPACT project is active between June 2022 and May 2025.Cascading grants will be available to support uptake of FAIR solutions and practices. The overall objective of FAIR-IMPACT is to realise a FAIR EOSC, that is an EOSC of FAIR data and services, by supporting the implementation of FAIR-enabling practices across scientific communities and research outputs at a European, national, and international level. Advancing findability, accessibility, interoperability and reusability (“FAIRness”) of data and other research objects are at the core of this project, which closely collaborates with the FAIRCORE4ESOC project (https://faircore4eosc.eu/ ).We will coordinate the implementation of frameworks and the alignment of FAIR data practices on metadata and persistent identifiers (PIDs) in order to achieve the wide uptake of and compliance with FAIR principles by national and European research data and metadata providers and repositories. In the poster we present our work on the implementation of the FAIR principles and practices. Among other things we aim at a coherent implementation of PIDs and more exact data citation, as services then are able to support better data quality with suitable PID solutions. A broader and more targeted use of PIDs, based on end-user needs, can support trust and risk management and requires collaboration among PID service providers and developing PID policies. Special attention will be paid to reproducibility and to sensitive data. As semantic artefacts are an important element in creating semantic interoperability, they are also regarded as digital objects with their own recommendations for FAIR implementation, as are software. Working together with the FAIRCORE4ESOC project, we can address things like kernel information profiles that are highly relevant for FAIR digital objects.The project will also focus on increasing data accessibility through enhancing interoperability on all levels, with specific steps taken to address recommendations outlined in the EOSC (The EOSC Interoperability Framework). Validation of core interoperability components through metadata mechanisms across scientific disciplines, fostering interoperability alignment with the nine European Data Spaces, and the DAMA framework (DAMA-DMBoK), i.e. the EOSC ecosystem, are of relevance.Metrics and FAIR assessment are also addressed in this project, that will extend and adapt the FAIRsFAIR data object assessment metrics and F-UJI tool to be more disciplinary-context aware and to include more discipline specific tests. The FAIR-IMPACT project will closely work with how the FAIR principles are implemented within the EOSC and how digital objects can be identified and managed

White paper on Terrestrial Ecological and Environmental Research Infrastructures in Finland

This White Paper presents a vision of globally leading, scientifically important and socially relevant environmental research infrastructures (RIs) in Finland, and identifies what we consider as the key issues to be developed to improve the impact and to support the Finnish national infrastructures in their international visibility. The focus is on: 1. The scientific questions driving the terrestrial ecosystem and environmental research globally and in Finland; 2. Specific requirements by different user groups in Finland for ecological and environmental RIs; and 3. Roadmap for the sustainable ecological and environmental RI in Finland. We also present the strategies of organizations regarding their RI development, and the existing infrastructures and networks which form the basis for future development. The final goal of this document is to encourage the development of a coherent vision at national level, and to increase the scientific significance, national synergies and benefits towards a stronger research community. The need for developing a national RI strategy for environmental field arises from the global challenges, which threaten the ecosystems’ functioning. Human activities are imposing many identified, but also previously unknown pressures to ecosystem properties and functions, which are also feeding back to the societies via the quality and quantity of ecosystem services. However, the ecosystem responses to changes in environment are in many cases poorly quantified and the studies only cover short time scales. In order to succeed in providing answers to the grand challenges (ICSU 2010), integrated research infrastructures and efficient analysis tools are crucially needed. The request to improve our knowledge of the state of the environment and the complex biosphere-hydrosphere-atmosphere interactions, and to detect and analyze the impact of global change on these systems has been recognized as a general priority in developing environmental research infrastructures in EU and globally. Currently, Finland is one of the world leaders in atmospheric and environmental sciences, both in terms of research and in coordinating the European and global observation station networks and infrastructures. With this existing experience from close-by research fields and the high research outputs from ecology and ecophysiology in our research organizations, Finland has also the potential to actively promote the ecosystem RI concept, and to act as an example of integrated RIs for other countries. The vision is to develop the capacity of the Finnish ecosystem research community to integrate, upscale and synthesize the observations with relevant holistic process understanding as well as open and reliable data management practices. This can be implemented by creating functional and cost-efficient in-situ platforms and by providing quality-checked data in findable, accessible, interoperable and reusable (FAIR) manner for high-level environmental research. This White paper was made in connection with the INAR Ecosystems initiative funded by Academy of Finland and updated with proceeding of European processes, and it provides a starting point for national cooperation in environmental research infrastructures
