The Challenge of the Social and the Pressure of Practice
InThe Challenge of the Social and the Pressure of Practice,philosophers, sociologists, and historians of science offer a multidisciplinary view of the complex interrelationships of values in science and society in both contemporary and historic contexts. They analyze the impact of commercialization and politicization on epistemic aspirations, and, conversely, the ethical dilemmas raised by \"practically relevant\" science in today's society. For example, much scientific research over the past quarter century has been guided by the financing that supports it. What effect has this had on the quality of research produced and the advancement of real knowledge?
The contributors reveal how social values affect objectivity, theory, and the direction of inquiry, and examine the byproducts of external value systems in topics such as \"expertise\" and \"socially robust knowledge,\" among others. They view science's own internal value systems, the earlier disconnection of societal values from the scientific process, and the plausibility of \"value free\" science.
The Challenge of the Social and the Pressure of Practicepresents an in-depth analysis that places the role of values at the center of philosophical debate and raises questions of morality, credibility, and the future role of values in scientific inquiry.

Aerobic Exercise Improves Cardiorespiratory Fitness But Does Not Reduce Blood Pressure in Prehypertensive African American Women
To determine the effectiveness of a 10-week aerobic exercise training intervention on blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, and workload in African American women with prehypertension.
After we obtained informed consent and medical clearance, each participant underwent baseline measurements, an aerobic exercise-training regimen, and postintervention assessments.
This investigation took place in Columbus, Ohio, on the campus of The Ohio State University.
Twelve sedentary African American women with prehypertension volunteered to participate.
Study participants trained three days per week for 30 minutes per session at an intensity of 70% maximal oxygen consumption (VO2 peak) for 10 weeks.
Blood pressure, cardiorespiratory fitness, and workload achieved.
Exercise training resulted in a significant improvement in cardiorespiratory fitness and workload capacity. However, no significant reductions in blood pressure were seen after the 10-week aerobic exercise period.
Ten weeks of 30 minutes of aerobic exercise, three times a week at 70% VO2 peak, is a sufficient stimulus to improve cardiorespiratory fitness and workload achieved. However, this exercise regimen was not adequate in eliciting a simultaneous reduction in systolic, diastolic, or mean arterial blood pressure in this cohort of prehypertensive African American women. Additional studies are needed to determine specific exercise protocols that would be effective in lowering blood pressure in various populations. These exercise protocols may vary across ethnicity, sex, and disease status.

Original Reports: Cardiovascular Disease and Risk Factors--Aerobic Exercise Improves Cardiorespiratory Fitness but Does Not Reduce Blood Pressure in Pre-Hypertensive African American Women
This study determined the positive effectiveness of a 10-week aerobic exercise training intervention on cardiorespiratory fitness and workload capacity among a small group of African American women with pre-hypertension, but found no significant reduction in blood pressure during the time period under review.
