A history of how Chinese officials used statistics to define a new society in the early years of the People's Republic of China In 1949, at the end of a long period of wars, one of the biggest challenges facing leaders of the new People's Republic of China was how much they did not know. The government of one of the world's largest nations was committed to fundamentally reengineering its society and economy via socialist planning while having almost no reliable statistical data about their own country. Making It Count is the history of efforts to resolve this "crisis in counting." Drawing on a wealth of sources culled from China, India, and the United States, Arunabh Ghosh explores the choices made by political leaders, statisticians, academics, statistical workers, and even literary figures in attempts to know the nation through numbers.Ghosh shows that early reliance on Soviet-inspired methods of exhaustive enumeration became increasingly untenable in China by the mid-1950s. Unprecedented and unexpected exchanges with Indian statisticians followed, as the Chinese sought to learn about the then-exciting new technology of random sampling. These developments were overtaken by the tumult of the Great Leap Forward (1958-61), when probabilistic and exhaustive methods were rejected and statistics was refashioned into an ethnographic enterprise. By acknowledging Soviet and Indian influences, Ghosh not only revises existing models of Cold War science but also globalizes wider developments in the history of statistics and data.Anchored in debates about statistics and its relationship to state building, Making It Count offers fresh perspectives on China's transition to socialism

The Healthy City program is a comprehensive health promotion program implemented by local governments to improve citizens' health. The Healthy City program aims to improve citizens' quality of life through health promotion activities in daily life. It also improves health by eliminating health risk factors and increasing citizens' happiness. Therefore, this study investigated the effects of the Healthy City program on the happiness index of local residents and the correlation between the Healthy City program and the happiness index using quality of life as a parameter. We conducted a questionnaire survey of residents of Seoul, where Healthy City networks are actively promoted. A total of 392 responses were obtained. Structural equations were used to analyze the collected data. The Healthy City program had positive effects on the happiness index. In other words, it increased the happiness index by improving the health of the local residents. Relevant policy efforts are also being made to advance health services through Healthy City programs. For an effective Healthy City program, it is necessary to implement policies regarding health equity, to expand Healthy City programs based on a settings approach, and to implement a sustainable Healthy City program through the establishment of Healthy City governance.

Cet article vise à décrire les trajectoires professionnelles des femmes avec diplôme universitaire en République Démocratique du Congo au travers des récits de vie de femmes de trois générations (moins de 30 ans, 30 à 40 ans, plus de 40 ans), identifier les causes individuelles, organisationnelles, et sociétales de leurs choix, réorientations et changement, les succès, mais aussi les difficultés, les échecs, et les frustrations qu'elles connaissent dans leurs parcours professionnels, ainsi proposer des plans d'actions pour l'amélioration de l'égalité entre les hommes et les femmes en RDC. Notre positionnement épistémologique étant constructiviste, nous cherchons à voir qu'elle est la perception que les femmes ont de leurs parcours professionnel. C'est ainsi que nous avons jugé intéressant de recourir à l'approche qualitative, pour collecter les récits de vie de ces femmes et faire une analyse thématique de ce qu'elles nous ont raconté sur leur vécu professionnel, c'est elles qui vont isoler les éléments qu'elles jugent importants et qui ont influencé leurs trajectoires professionnelles. ; Peer reviewed

The philosophy of age is mostly an inquiry into the temporal parameters of human existence. The aim of this article is to review the senile temporality as qualitatively different in time production (chronopoesy) from the temporality of youth and maturity. To achieve this I have considered different types of senile chronopoesy, especially its most radical version (eschatologic time), which correlates with chronoaesthetics of the decrepit and Christian Messianic time. As a result, I managed to identify the main conditions of transformation of time production while aging. I considered the problem, using comparative analysis, in the perspective of the methodological horizon of hermeneutics phenomenology (analytics of Dasein). The results of the study can be reduced to several points. The reduction of 'age' and 'inner age' future that requires an answer from Dasein determines a shift in the human temporality and configures the particular senile temporality. Changes are the most significant if man accepts his life as meaningfully completed, and the will to Other (that is good on its own) replaces the will for particular achievements (i. e., self-realisation). Goal-setting and the production of over situational temporality persist in eschatologic senility, while 'heroic', 'finishing' and petty senilities have no big goals and only situational temporality, uncompensated by the verticalization of temporality (by the orientation to the Other). The period between the substantial and physical eschatons is kindred to the time or the aesthesis of the decrepit and the Messianic time of Christian historiosophy as they all are forms of the present (end time). End time is an intransitive present, free from the past and future, correlated with the Other (that is timeless). Once started, it never ends and never become past until the end of the life.

Contributors to this theme issue examine the history of the life sciences at the Botanical Gardens in Bogor (Kebun Raya Bogor) in Indonesia. Each of the essays in this theme issue, focusses on a major transformation which the garden, its networks, and staff underwent in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Next to summarizing individual contributions, this introductory essay familiarizes readers with more recent scholarship in the field. Taken together, our theme issue suggests that the practice of the life sciences at the Gardens can be best analyzed as the outcome of historical processes of coordination and competition in which different disciplines, communities, networks not only in insular Southeast Asia but also other parts of the world played a formative role.

This article provides a critical reflection of care from the perspective of ethical construction and politics based on the word-action which, if built upon a love-passion relationship, causes subjectivities to arise that rethink human conditions of life which are contrary to autonomy. They ethically dare to turn a word-action - something that's said - into an action that transforms human beings, and like pedagogy, but particularly experiential pedagogy, is the driver that turns a word-action into wisdom and caretaker of the same. ; El artículo desarrolla una reflexión crítica del cuidado, desde la construcción ética y la política, a partir de la palabra acto, al construirse desde la relación del amorpasión emergen subjetividades que replantean las condiciones humanas de vida adversas a la autonomía, se atreven éticamente a hacer de la palabra acto, algo dicho, la acción transformadora del ser humano, y cómo la pedagogía y en particular la pedagogía vivencial es la operadora encargada de hacer que la palabra acto sea sabiduría y el cuidador de la misma. ; O artigo desenvolve uma reflexão crítica do cuidado, desde a construção ética e a política, a partir da palavra ato, que ao se construir desde a relação de amor-paixão, emergem subjetividades que reconsideram as condições humanas de vida adversas à autonomia, se atrevem eticamente a fazer da palavra ato, ou seja, a ação transformadora do ser humano, e como a pedagogia e em particular a pedagogia vivencial é a operadora para fazer que a palavra ato seja sabedoria e o cuidador da mesma.
