This article on the ready-made garment (RMG) sector of Bangladesh shows how over-reliance on foreign capital for development financing and deregulated investment-a hallmark of neoliberal economic arrangements-undermines
REINFORCE (REsearch INfrastructures FOR Citizens in Europe) is a "Science with and for Society" (SwafS) project, funded by the European Union under the Horizon 2020 research programme. REINFORCE partners have developed four demonstrators, two of which were presented in a hands-on session during the Engaging Citizen Science Conference 2022 in Aarhus, Denmark. In the "Search for new particles at CERN" demonstrator, citizen scientists contribute to the search for undiscovered particles at the ATLAS experiment, while in the "GWitchHunters" demonstrator, they contribute to the improvement of the sensitivity of the current generation of gravitational-wave detectors.

An experiment is described in which the method of visual distortion was used to induce symptoms of motion sickness and spatial disorientation in members of a group of student pilots at the commencement of their flying training. A questionnaire designed to elicit histories of motion sickness was also given. Follow-up testing after 14 months of training consisted of self-ratings by students of the experiences of airsickness and spatial disorientation; final flight ratings by instructors were also available. Significant positive intercorrelations were found among scores on the Visual Distortion Test, the Motion Sickness Questionnaire, and the Airsickness and Spatial Disorientation Questionnaire. Also, instructors' final flight ratings of success correlated negatively with the students' self-ratings of airsickness and spatial disorientation. Instructors' final flight ratings also correlated negatively with Motion Sickness Questionnaire scores, but failed to correlate significantly with the Visual Distortion Test.
Motion SicknessAlthough motion sickness is traditionally associated with the effects of acceleratory forces acting on the nonauditory labyrinth, there are a number of situations in which symptoms may be induced without primary stimulation of the vestibular organs.* This paper is based on an experiment being part of the research undgrtaken for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Psychology at the University of Queensiand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
