[Gender specificity and interdisciplinarity. Methodological-theoretical observations].

In public, sex specifity of humans is under a lively discussion, dominated by Social Sciences. It could be observed that between the theoretically involved disciplines natural sciences, social sciences and liberal arts exist very little flow of information and discussion. It was pointed out that sex specifity matters several disciplines because of the complexity of the phenomenon, but the research still lacks epistemological prerequisites to apply to this goal. The contribution makes methodological and theoretical remarks in order to promote an interdisciplinary approach. Obstacles from tradition and organisation of research are mentioned as well as dominating epistemological and theoretical advances.

[Nursing science and natural sciences. Critical notes on a difficult relationship as a starting point for its new definition].

This article deals with the question of how nursing, supported by its own science, can gain benefit from natural science disciplines, if it can be presupposed that such disciplines represent one of the most important bases of nursing science. In the context of this question it is necessary to ascertain the condition, which must be fulfilled by the natural sciences in order to be able to occupy the honorable position of a cognate discipline of nursing science. This position is elucidated on the background of following aspects: The fundamental relationship between nursing science and the natural science with regard to their traditional perspectives and scientific objectives is discussed and illuminated on the background of differing concepts of body and person. In a further elaboration of this theme the particular meaning of the concept of person for nursing action is taken up and on its bases an extension of nursing issues which should be further developed is devised. In conclusion some propositions are brought up for discussion.

[Schelling and experiential science].

Schelling's philosophy of nature is shown to be part of the scientific discussions of his day, not set apart from it. His terminology describing the potentialities and polarities of nature was formed during Schelling's collaboration with the physicist Johann Wilhelm Ritter. This scientist adopted the schema Schelling had developed for the categorization of natural phenomena to describe the peculiar facts that interested him in his area of research. Thus Ritter was able to develop a classification of the various phenomena of animal galvanism. Thus it can be shown that the idealistic "Naturphilosophie" was part of the scientific culture of about 1800. It is to be interpreted as philosophy of science and has to be evaluated not only in a philosophically systematic way but in particular in its influence on the way scientific categories were ordered at the time. Thereby it can be shown that the idealistic vocabulary had close correspondence to French morphology and English Natural Theology.

Research progress and accomplishments on International Space Station.

The first research payloads reached the International Space Station (ISS) more than two years ago, with research operating continuously since March 2001. Seven research racks are currently on-orbit, with three more arriving soon to expand science capabilities. Through the first five expeditions, 60 unique NASA-managed investigations from 11 nations have been supported, many continuing into later missions. More than 90,000 experiment hours have been completed, and more than 1,000 hours of crew time have been dedicated to research, numbers that grow daily. The multidisciplinary program includes research in life sciences, physical sciences, biotechnology, Earth sciences, technology demonstrations as well as commercial endeavors and educational activities. The Payload Operations and Integration Center monitors the onboard activities around the clock, working with numerous Principal Investigators and Payload Developers at their remote sites. Future years will see expansion of the station with research modules provided by the European Space Agency and Japan, which will be outfitted with additional research racks.

Science at a crossroads.

Science is entering an alliance with the economy that will speed the effect of innovation through society. Despite the slowdown of the 'new economy', a cascade paradigm of innovation appears key to increasing the rate of economic growth. Yet for science to continue to thrive and make this contribution to innovation, it must traverse at least three key crossroads. First, while life sciences have built a strong advocacy model to secure growing federal research funding, the physical sciences (including mathematics and engineering) have not and must now do so to thrive. Second, the drop in the numbers of physical scientists and engineers must be reversed if we are to have the talent to maintain a strong trend of scientific advance. Third, although science advances are increasingly interdisciplinary and occurring in the space between the historic science stovepipes, the organization of federal science support is largely unchanged since the beginning of the cold war. While a decentralized model has value, we must also consider new approaches that encourage deeper cooperation across science sectors and agencies.
