A changing society and problems of method: a politically committed research type

This essay examines a politically engaged research genre, which follows the biography of the author who founded two journals: one on mathematical models published in English (Quality and Quantity) and one on politically committed social and economic research published in Italian (Inchiesta). The research considered focuses on Italy in the 1950s, the research by Lazarsfeld in Vienna in the 1920s and in the United States in the 1950s and 1960s, and post-1968 politically committed research in Italy. The analysis of such politically committed types of research (all very different from one another in terms of the interpretative model of reality, the methods used and the relations with the tendering party and the people observed) allows one to understand how this kind of research can be performed with very different methods—all of which do, however, seek to modify reality on the grounds of the research results. The metaphor of the crystal and the flame presented by Italo Calvino in order to classify facts and ideas and styles and feelings can also be used to visualise the polarity (and the difficulty/impossibility of contact) that has always been present in sociology between two different tendencies: towards a discipline that offers the most abstract and objective interpretative model of reality possible with the use of mathematical models (the crystal), and, instead, towards a discipline in which an interpretative model of reality is central, one that produces a social change and in which the qualitative and quantitative methods utilised are at the service of this change (the flame). This polarity thus allows us to separate first and foremost all the politically committed research performed by others for different purposes (market research, research to verify some theoretical hypotheses, etc.) but the same polarity also lies within the politically committed research. We can, indeed, identify a type of politically committed research in an area that has, at one extreme, research tending towards the utmost objectivity and scientific quality of the results and where the co-ordinators try to have all the information on the subjects maintaining the greatest possible distance (the subjects must not know they are being observed); at the other extreme, there is a type of research in which the coordinator completely involves the subjects in the gathering of information that will serve to realise a piece of research whose political aims are explicitly shared. For the identification of a sufficiently articulated typology it has been important to consider five dimensions of politically committed research: (a) the characteristics of the research coordinator (his/her belonging to the type and the academic/non-academic professional status) and his/her interpretative model of reality (b) some general characteristics of the research (the tender and funding, the topic choice, the aims, the contributions to the sociological theory, the duration); (c) the research coordinators relations with the political actors (the intensity of the relations, the political use of the research); (d) the relations of the research co-ordinator with the research subjects; (e) the methodological choices (the basic strategies, the methods used, the use of mathematical procedures). The research that exemplifies this typology is all politically committed to the left and was realised in different times and contexts. I start by considering a kind of politically engaged research (co-research) that appeared in Italy in the 1950s; I then analyse two types of politically engaged research realised in Austria at the end of the 1920s and one in the United States in the 1950s; there then follow two kinds of research realised in the 1960s and 1970s in the United States and a further two kinds realised in Italy in the 1970s and early 1980s. In order to have other kinds of research please refer to the two Journals of which I am the editor: one is an English language journal of mathematical models (Quality and Quantity, International Journal of Methodology, founded in 1966 and published today by Kluwer of Amsterdam), and a politically engaged review (Inchiesta, founded in 1971 and still published today by Dedalo of Bari).

研究了碳酸氢铵-还原剂体系选择性浸出废旧三元锂电池中锂、镍、钴的过程。考察了浸出温度、碳酸氢铵浓度、还原剂的种类和浓度、固液比及浸出时间等对有价金属浸出率的影响,并通过XRD、SEM-EDS和FT-IR等表征方法对选择性浸出机理进行了初步探明。结果表明：在浸出温度80 ℃、浸出时间2.5 h、碳酸氢铵浓度2.5 mol/L、固液比50 g/L、还原剂亚硫酸钠浓度0.6 mol/L的条件下,锂、镍、钴的浸出率分别为96.86%、96.36%、93.43%,而锰几乎不被浸出。碳酸氢铵-亚硫酸钠还原浸出体系可以实现从废旧三元锂电池材料中高效、选择性回收锂、镍和钴。     

Twelve-Nitrogen-Atom Cyclic Structure Stabilized by 3d-Element Atoms: Quantum Chemical Modeling

Using various versions of density functional theory (DFT), DFT M06/TZVP, DFT B3PW91/TZVP, DFT OPBE/TZVP, and, partially, the MP2 method, the possibility of the existence of 3d-element (M) compounds with nitrogen having unusual M: nitrogen ratio 1:12, unknown for these elements at the present, was shown. Structural parameter data were presented. It was shown that all MN4 groupings have tetragonal-pyramidal structure. It was noted that the bond lengths formed by nitrogen atoms and an M atom were equal to each other only in the case of M = Ti, V, Cr and Co, whereas for other Ms, they were slightly different; moreover, the bond angles formed by nitrogen atoms and an M atom were equal to 90.0°, or practically did not differ from this value. Thermodynamic parameters, NBO analysis data and HOMO/LUMO images for this compound were also presented. Good agreement between the calculated data obtained using the above three quantum chemical methods was also noted.

^（60）Co γ-rays irradiation effect in DC performance of AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors

Unpassivated/passivated AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors （HEMTs） were exposed to 1.25 MeV 60Co γ-rays at a dose of 1 Mrad（Si）. The saturation drain current of the unpassivated devices decreased by 15% at 1 Mrad γ-dose, and the maximal transconductance decreased by 9.1% under the same condition; more- over, either forward or reverse gate bias current was significantly increased, while the threshold voltage is relatively unaffected. By sharp contrast, the passivated devices showed scarcely any change in saturation drain current and maximal transconductance at the same γ dose. Based on the differences between the passivated HEMTs and un- passivated HEMTs, adding the C–V measurement results, the obviously parameter degradation of the unpassivated AlGaN/GaN HEMTs is believed to be caused by the creation of electronegative surface state charges in sourcegate spacer and gate–drain spacer at the low dose （1 Mrad）. These results reveal that the passivation is effective in reducing the effects of surface state charges induced by the 60Co γ-rays irradiation, so the passivation is an effective reinforced approach.
