    Science in Context 23(4), 393–399 (2010). Copyright C Cambridge University Press doi:10.1017/S0269889710000153 Introduction Leo Corry and Tal Golan Tel Aviv University and University of California, San Diego The history of Israeli science and technology offers a unique case study of a young and small nation that has developed an unprecedented love affair with science and technology.Unlike other nineteenth-century ideologies, Zionism was never considered to be founded on science. Nevertheless, from the very start, the Zionist movement perceived the sciences, pure and applied, as central to its program of creating a new Jewish society in the Land of Israel (Funkenstein [1985] 2003). Modern science was to provide twice for the Jews: a relief from their suffocating religion and the tools needed to recover their ancient land from its ruins. Israel would remain the people of the book, but it would be the Book of Nature, not of God, that would set it free. Sharing the universal knowledge and values of science with mankind, the Jews would finally become both normal and self-determined. Thus, already in the nineteenth century, long before the State of Israel was founded, Zionist visionaries had dreamt of it as a modern version of Francis Bacon’s utopian Kingdom of Bensalem, where science and technology would provide health, wealth, and power (Elboim-Dror 1993; Herzl 1902). This did not remain a mere dream for long. By the 1920s, the Jewish population in Palestine, which sported by most generous estimates no more than 50,000 souls, had already boasted a high-minded research university in Jerusalem; an equally ambitious technical university in the northern city of Haifa; and a number of agricultural and medical stations throughout the land.

However, no study to date has examined gender differences in the outcomes of this type of hair loss. The current study aimed to investigate gender differences in health and psychosocial outcomes of hair loss resulting from childhood irradiation for tinea capitis, and to identify the risk factors associated with depression in both men and women. Medical records held at the archives of the Israel National Center for Compensation of Scalp Ringworm Victims were retrospectively reviewed for 217 women and 105 men who received maximum disability compensation due to severe hair loss resulting from irradiation for tinea capitis. We found that women were at increased risk of developing psychosocial symptoms, including depression. Gender emerged as a significant predictor of depression, distinct from other predictors, such as marital status, age at radiation, exposure to verbal and physical Citation: Hoffer, L.; Achdut, N.; bullying, low self-esteem, social anxiety, and physical health problems.

  • Child Welfare in Palestine, 1917-1950 by Julia R. Shatz a Dissertation Submitted in Partial Satisfact
    Governing Global Children: Child Welfare in Palestine, 1917-1950 By Julia R. Shatz A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor James Vernon, Chair Professor Beshara Doumani Professor Samera Esmeir Professor Christine Philliou Spring 2018 Governing Global Children: Child Welfare in Palestine, 1917-1950 Copyright © 2018 Julia R. Shatz All rights reserved Abstract Governing Global Children: Child Welfare in Palestine, 1917-1950 by Julia R. Shatz Doctor of Philosophy in History University of California, Berkeley Professor James Vernon, Chair This dissertation examines the construction of a regime of child welfare initiatives in interwar Palestine and the organizations, networks, and individuals that promoted them. In exploring the different arenas in which poor children were brought into systems of aid and care, it argues that child welfare in Mandate Palestine was part of a new form of transnational welfare governance in the twentieth century. My dissertation shows how this form of governance was predicated upon new relationships between local and global forces and born out of mixed economy of care in a colonial setting. The child welfare initiatives described in this narrative created both political spaces in which Palestinians asserted claims to governance and new political subjectivities of the child and those tasked with his or her care. Movements for child welfare reform gained international attention in the years following the First World War. Through international organizations, such as Save the Children, and the novel infrastructure of the League of Nations, the child rose to prominence as a new global subject of governance.

Universal healthcare, while unprecedented in Israel, did not have a significant impact on the country’s Jewish majority. Yet for minority citizens such as the Bedouin community in the southern Israel, the NHIL transformed access to medical services, increasing insurance coverage from 60% to 100%, and changing the patient demographic in the regional hospital. Nonetheless, since 1995 when the law was implemented, disparities in health outcomes between Jewish and Arab citizens in the country have widened. Healthcare reform took place within a geo-political landscape that continues to marginalize its Arab citizens. Thus the paradigm of equality of healthcare intersects with national policies that create a differential citizenship in Israel.

Since 1995, the Israeli National Health Insurance Law (NHIL) has provided universal health services to every resident, but the effect of this law on health and health services among minorities has not been examined sufficiently. The goals of this study were to track some of the first changes engendered by the NHIL among the Negev Bedouin Arabs to examine the effects of universal health care services. Methods included analysis of historical and health policy documents, three field appraisals of health care services (1994, 1995, 1999), a region-wide interview survey of Negev Bedouins (1997), and key informant interviews. For the interview survey, a sample of 515 households was chosen from different Bedouin localities representing major sedentarization stages.

  • The Government of Israel and the Health Care of the Negev Bedouin Under Military Government, 1948-1966
    Medical History, 2003, 47: 47-66 The Government of Israel and the Health Care of the Negev Bedouin under Military Government, 1948-1966 SHIFRA SHVARTS, JEFREY BORKAN, MOHAMAD MORAD, MICHAEL SHERF* Introduction Bedouin Arabs in Israel are a Muslim society undergoing dramatic social change. The Bedouin have lived in the Negev desert since the sixth century, having migrated there from the Arabian Peninsula. In the course of the last five decades this traditionally nomadic/semi-nomadic population has undergone rapid modernization and urbanization, and today approximately 120,000 Bedouin Arabs live in the Negev.' Traditionally herders and farmers, only about 5 per cent of the Negev Bedouin are still semi-nomadic tent dwellers.2 Most families are sedentary, living in sub-tribal groups in shacks and houses. The Negev Bedouin population has the lowest socio-economic rating of all localities and social groups in Israeli society.3 Even as late as 1917, when Ottoman rule over the region was concluded at the end of the First World War, modern medical services for the rural population were rare and mostly inaccessible, except for infrequent and unscheduled visits by a physician.4 Although the British made some limited attempts to introduce western health care to the Negev Bedouin Arabs during the Mandate Period (1917-48), their efforts were largely confined to preventive services and hygiene. However, by the mid-1930s there was a small eight-bed hospital in Beer Sheva and four clinics in the Negev region.5 None the less, these meagre services and personnel were totally incapable of providing for the health needs of the Bedouin population, the majority of whom still lived on the periphery of settlement in the country.6 * Shifra Shvarts, PhD, Jefrey Borkan, MD, PhD, the country's area.
