This article examines the benefits and pitfalls of using topic modeling to analyze discursive changes in sixteenth- and eighteenth-century German midwifery books. These periods were marked by transformations in the perspectives of midwives’ knowledge and practices, providing important insight into how midwifery was discussed as a field between private practice and public legitimization.

Modern Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies have a rapidly growing impact on a wide range of human activities. AI methods are being used in varied domains such as healthcare, material science, infrastructure engineering, social media, surveillance technologies, and even artistic expression. They have been used for the purposes of drug discovery via protein folding prediction, power usage opti

This epilogue presents the main insights from Women’s PrivatePractices of Knowledge Production in Early Modern Europe, demonstratingthe key ways in which privacy factored into women’s knowledge-makingpractices. The chapter highlights women’s strategies of publicizing theprivate as a knowledge-sharing strategy, the role of the home in knowledgemaking in the early modern period, and the limitations

This chapter introduces the Privacy at Sea volume, demonstrating the contributions of privacy studies in researching early modern and maritime history. It provides a more dynamic understanding of privacy in the challenging environment of life at sea, focusing on the many strategies that enable people a certain level of negotiation and regulation of how information, bodies, behaviours, and accounts

This article addresses the ethical and epistemological challenges of interdisciplinary efforts through the interactional lens of proximity. How can we ensure interdisciplinarity in unequal institutional, disciplinary, and geopolitical environments? What does it mean to do research when epistemological frameworks clash between fields and sectors? Which echo chambers are perpetuated when we limit in

This chapter introduces the research area by proposing the angle of privacy to analyse the subject of everyday conversations in early modern Europe. Such conversations are especially hard to tackle, as they were very rarely recorded, either for being considered trivial exchanges or for dealing with issues that people preferred to keep out of public scrutiny. Nevertheless, through a careful explora

This epilogue wraps up the findings of the volume by weaving together key elements of the previous chapters. It first provides a summary of the different reasons for talking in private, locations where the exchanges took place, and expectations connected to private conversations that are presented in the case studies. The typically dual character of private conversations as a danger—but also as a

Understanding how affect interacts with the neural dynamics of syntactic processing remains an open question in neurolinguistics. While syntactic anomaly detection has been extensively characterised through electrophysiological markers such as LAN and P600, the extent to which pervasive affective states, or moods, modulate these components is still poorly understood. Existing studies suggest that

The transition towards low-carbon societies is creating winners and losers, raising new questions of justice. Around the world, litigation increasingly articulates these justice questions, challenging laws, projects and policies that aim to deliver climate change adaptation and/or mitigation. In this Perspective, we define and conceptualize the phenomenon of ‘just transition litigation’. This conc
