Abstract:

Stadig mer forskning fokuserer på utviklingen og bruken av teknologi, ikke minst i forbindelse med den stadige mer utbredte bruken av informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi. Mange av disse studiene har vært motivert av ønsket om å vise til de fantastiske mulighetene som organisasjoner (særlig bedrifter) har ved å nyttiggjøre seg nyvinningene (se f.eks. Davidow og Malone, 1992 og Scott Morton, 1991). Mange samfunnsvitenskapelige studier har imidlertid inntatt en mye mer kritisk holdning til de teknologiske nyvinningene. Innenfor sosiologien er det flere slike tilnærminger.

Sosiologiske perspektiver på teknologi

I de funksjonalistiske tilnærmingene fokuseres det på hvilke effekter de tekniske systemene har på brukerne av dem, og spesielt hvordan alle systemer medfører uintenderte konsekvenser, blant annet ved at de nye systemenes latente funksjoner (Merton, 1967) trer fram i dagen etterhvert som systemene kommer i bruk. I disse studiene betrakter man de tekniske systemene som makrostrukturer som følger sin egen utvikling mer eller mindre uavhengig av brukerne (dvs de er teknologideterministiske).

I Marxistiske tilnærminger unngår man en ensidig determinisme ved at teknologiene antas å være i dialektisk motsetning til de sosiale systemene. Spesielt betraktes teknologiske nyvinninger som kapitalistenes middel for å beholde sitt herredømme over arbeiderklassen. I nyere perspektiver (se f.eks. Winner, 1977; 1986, Hirschorn, 1984; Feenberg, 1991) påpeker man at det er de kulturelle verdiene som er knyttet til teknologidesign som medfører uheldige konsekvenser (som for eksempel degradering av arbeidskraft), og ikke teknologien i seg selv.

Tilsvarende fokuserer de sosialkonstruktivistiske studiene (Bijker, Hughes og Pinch, 1987; Bijker og Law, 1992; Law, 1991) på hvordan den teknologiske utviklingen eller de teknologiske nnovasjonene ikke følger naturlige utviklingsveier, men konstrueres i nettverk av aktører som hver på sin måte presser fram sine interesser i forhold til et teknologisk artefakt. Mange av konstruktivistene benekter et skille mellom tekniske og sosiale systemer (eller aktører). De mener at det er umulig å egentlig separere det tekniske og sosiale, og velger i stedet å betrakte de totale relasjonene som et sømløst vev. Konstruktivistene bruker spesielt historiske studier av teknologi-utvikling for å identifisere aktører i slike vev, og dermed undersøke hva som ligger bak de løsninger som velges i utviklingen av tekniske artefakter.

I de senere årene er det blitt flere forskere som ved å bruke etnografiske studier av teknologisk praksis undersøker hvordan tekniske og sosiale aktører samhandler. I disse studiene er man i motsetning til de konstruktivistiske tilnærmingene mer opptatt av bruken av teknologi enn utviklingen av den. Men i samme ånd som konstruktivistene er man opptatt av å vise hvordan den teknologiske praksis i sterk grad utvikles ved hjelp av sosiale mekanismer, for eksempel i arbeidsgrupper, og hvordan tekniske praksisimperativer rekonstrueres i daglig sosial praksis (se f.eks. Suchman, 1987; Hutchins, 1988; 1990; 1995; Hutchins og Klausen, 1996; Heath og Luff, 1992; 1996; Orr, 1996; Engeström og Middleton, 1996).

Alle disse tilnærmingene har viktige bidrag til sosiologiske studier av utvikling og bruk av teknologi. Imidlertid ser det ut til at det er vanskelig å skape en teoretisk syntese av teorier som bygger på såpass forskjellige antakelser. I denne avhandlingen kombinerer jeg imidlertid deler fra teoriene ved et feltstudium der én type teknologi benyttes i flere ulike kontekster, slik at både aktør-perspektiver og struktur-perspektiver blir relevante. Et empirisk felt som gir denne muligheten er bruken av medisinske nødmeldesentraler i Norge.


The study of technology has recently become more focused in various schools of sociology. However, Marxist, functionalist, social constructivist, and ethnographic research, have tended to explain technological development either from macro or micro perspectives. Further research is needed to increase our understanding of technology as situated in its social and institutional contexts, where individual and professional relations are considered. In this thesis, elements from several approaches are applied to the study of communication technology in Norwegian medical emergency communication centres.

About ten years ago, LV (doctor-on-call) centres, each manned by one nurse to handle local requests for a doctor, were established in nursing homes. AMK (acute medical communication) centres were introduced in hospitals, and are manned by teams of two to four nurses and ambulance coordinators to handle medical emergency calls (113), internal hospital alarms and local requests for a doctor. Even though the intensity and work loads are very different between the LV and AMK centres, the technical artefacts that are used are basically similar in both types of centre.

Using a comparative case approach, the use of technology was studied through interviews with nurses, doctors and administrative personnel and by observations of the work in six LV and three AMK centres.

There are three main findings in this thesis. First, the operation of LV centres in nursing homes conflicts with the general nursing home practice, and many LV centres are redefined by its users as switchboards to decrease the burden that is placed upon them.

Second, the nurses who work with requests for doctors in a similar way in the AMK centres in fact manage to solve many problems on the phone. The thesis discusses how these differences have emerged from performing the same job with the same technological tools.

Third, the handling of emergency calls at the AMK centres is accomplished through intense social and technically coordinated work. An ideal model of this kind of coordination, “the coordinated climate”, is developed from the observations in the AMK centres, and results from control room studies are applied.

The three findings are summarised in a discussion of how structures constrain and facilitate social and technological practice.

Brosnan, Caragh Jean. "The sociology of medical education : the struggle for legitimate knowledge in two English medical schools." Thesis, University of Cambridge, 2008. https://www.repository.cam.ac.uk/handle/1810/265555.

Full text
Abstract:
The epistemological basis of medical education has been highly contested since the turn of the twentieth century, with 'traditional', science-based curricula gradually being replaced by 'innovative' curricula, purporting to be more holistic. Both curricular types are currently employed in the United Kingdom, amid calls for both fu11her reform and a return to traditional teaching. This thesis explores the sociological meaning and consequences of debates over knowledge in medical education by examining the construction of legitimate knowledge in two English medical schools, one 'traditional' and one ' innovative'. Part I includes a literature review and theoretical discussion. Research on medical students ' experiences shows that they learn to value scientific and clinical 'competence' rather than 'caring'. Furthermore, sociologists argue that curricular reform serves symbolic purposes in medical schools but does not effect meaningful change. However, the relationship between students and medical schools is not well understood. Pierre Bourdieu's theoretical framework is proposed as a way of reconciling the analytical schism between research focusing on either student socialisation or organisational factors. Part II presents the research findings. Data were collected via six months' paiticipant observation at the two schools, semi-structured interviews with thirty-six medical students and fifteen faculty members, and analysis of institutional documents. By analysing the schools' marketing strategies, histories and relationships to external bodies, I show that medical education operates as a field in which medical knowledge is a form of symbolic capital: medical schools compete for scientific capital on the one hand, sustained by mechanisms within the higher education field, and, on the other, for clinical capital, fostered by the healthcare field. The two schools I studied were positioned unequally and oriented towards different sides of the medical education field. Faculty members participated in the dualistic competition for knowledge-based capital, largely reproducing their own institution's construction of legitimate knowledge. Drawing on their habitus, students also perpetuated the field struggle through their choice of medical school and their perceptions of legitimate knowledge. In turn, students' practices and dispositions were shaped by their school's position in the field. Ultimately, the struggle for scientific and clinic.al knowledge precluded holistic medical education: humanistic and social knowledge were marginalised in both the 'traditional' and the 'innovative' school, having little value within the field. Educational reform is thereby limited by this competition over knowledge, which is a 'game' played to gain institutional and individual power, rather than to produce good doctors.

Abstract:
In this thesis it is argued that the migration of ideas and personnel from Britain to colonial Australia resulted in the reproduction of two distinctive medical archetypes, namely, the soldier/saviour and the generalist (family) physician and surgeon. These have been both conceptualised as ideal type carriers or expediters of two rival forms of medical professionalism. They each emerged in the modern era as institutional products of distinctive educational processes and work practices available for doctors in 19th and 20th century Britain and Australia. While Freidson (1988) asserts one of the problems of dealing with studies of professionalism is that researchers have failed to clearly define work patterns, he could be seen as being close to Foucault (1973) whose emphasis was on the different social spaces in which practitioners worked. I show firstly that the career of the imperial army medical officer was revived in the 19th century so that in colonial contexts they could alternate between military and civilian servicing, especially as administrators and managers in public office. The soldier/saviour was also associated with the 19th century revival of Masonic and quasi-Masonic military and religious orders, consecrated by royal sovereigns and exported to Australia. In contrast, the Scottish pedagogues and other generalist doctors coming to Australia from Britain were influenced by Edinburgh University's Medical Faculty's humanist traditions and design of the modern medical curriculum producing the generalist physician and surgeon who met community needs. Within wider imperial social relations, these generalist doctors were looked upon as dissenting or counter-hegemonic. The aim of this thesis is to examine these archetypes in terms of their characteristics of rationalisation to analyse and understand their professional differences historically as well as in the contemporary period. The significance is that one does not often come across studies which specifically look at doctors within the same society in such terms. Furthermore, by locating them within wider hegemonic and counter-hegemonic social relations, links between ideas about medical professionalism and issues of human rights become evident. This follows the World Health Organization's directives to treat health or medical issues and human rights as a cross-cutting research activity. To my knowledge, no study has been undertaken in Australia of the background and impact of these different traditions.

Griffiths, Frances Ellen. "Hormone replacement therapy : perspectives from women, medicine and sociology." Thesis, Durham University, 1997. http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/5084/.

Full text
Abstract:
Developed on the boundary between medicine and sociology, this thesis develops a critique of the perspectives of these disciplines through analysis of a study of women's perspectives on hormone replacement therapy. Women's perspectives are explored through a postal questionnaire survey and a study using individual interviews and focus groups. The survey results provide a measure of women’s attitudes towards, and knowledge of, hormone replacement therapy. The individual interviews detail the way women move towards a decision about the therapy and identifies common themes, particularly women's fears and what influences their fears. The focus groups explore contrasting themes including women's control and choice in decisions about therapy, contrary themes in women’s attitudes and the different ways of thinking used by the women. The results of the studies are assessed for their implications for clinical general practice. The thesis also takes a sociological perspective on women and HRT and on the research process, in particular exploring two themes. Firstly, the interaction between the social context, the research subject and the research process. This includes the social factors influencing the development of the research and choice of research methods, and the influence of the research methods on the results obtained. The second theme is the perspectives and levels of analysis used by the main disciplines contributing to the thesis; biomedicine, biostatistics, general practice and sociology. The thesis explores how the different perspectives and levels of analysis influence research and how they are used to manage the social context. These explorations are used to suggest future directions for research on hormone replacement therapy and for general practice.

Abstract:
Background During a period of continuing changes in society and increasing availability of medical information, publication of patients’ views on experiences of health and illness have gained greater prominence. By contrast, studies of medical perspectives have tended to concentrate on reported discontent and implications for workforce planning while leaving broader insights and concerns under-investigated. Since the applied skills of highly trained and publicly funded clinicians are vital for safe and effective delivery of the nation’s health care, it seemed important to explore new ways to consider components of medical professionalism and to set these in current NHS contexts. Rationale and fieldwork Focussing attention on the individual perspectives of NHS doctors in order to hear and understand their experiences of work was central to development of this thesis. An interpretive epistemological approach to biographical narratives as told by a group of 12 doctors drawing on 25 years of NHS experience included use of Situational Analysis Mapping to support detailed analysis of their richly informative, first-hand accounts. As knowledgeable and reflective informants with stories from diverse clinical specialties and differing personal viewpoints, their narratives produced a range of views and observations shaped by their lived experiences as clinicians. Poetic representation of sociologically-informative narrative extracts provided an effective vehicle for engaging mixed audiences and has evoked emotionally resonant reactions from doctors. Findings Strong connections between individuals’ core principles and enacted responses were evident; doctors identified preferred working practices which they believed supportive of delivery of high quality health care. Key aspects of professionalism, including professional autonomy, self-regulation and application of clinical knowledge, were challenged by progressive introduction of new working processes and regulatory mechanisms. Increased recording of clinical and administrative data for performance monitoring and achievement of targets produced reactive strategies in individuals and teams while challenging their sense of professional position or developed medical identity. Poorly performing colleagues and difficult team interactions caused much disruption while blurred ethical boundaries exposed contestable decision-making and demonstrated the limited effectiveness of external regulatory monitoring. Conclusions This research indicates that contemporary NHS doctors may experience conflict between what is expected in managed medical practice and their interpretation of best professional performance. Better understanding of these fundamental relationships could constructively contribute to reconsideration of contemporary medical professionalism and assist with progressive workforce preparation for an effective future NHS.

Abstract:
Background: The problem of social and psychological adaptation of externally displaced Ukrainians is extremely urgent today, as millions of citizens were forced to leave Ukraine as a result of the full-scale invasion. Given the differences in language, culture, religion, and administrative structure of the host countries, the problem of adaptation has become extremely acute for many. Without proper support and resources to help them integrate into their new communities, internally displaced persons may deal with a variety of challenges, including isolation, discrimination, and mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. This can make it difficult for them to rebuild their lives and achieve a sense of security and stability. Purpose: To identify the conditions that influence the successful psychosocial adaptation of externally displaced Ukrainians. Methods: The theoretical method was aimed at studying scientific papers and articles on the topic of social and psychological adaptation. An empirical method was also used, which included the Methodology for Diagnosing Socio-Psychological Adaptation by K. Rogers and R. Diamond and a questionnaire of our own design aimed at studying the difficulties and problems faced by people in the new social environment. Results: In general, most of the respondents have average levels of indicators according to the Rogers and Diamond methodology for diagnosing social and psychological adaptation, but a low level of social adaptation, emotional comfort and striving to dominate was also found in some of the respondents. The analysis of our own questionnaire showed that the process of adaptation of externally displaced Ukrainians is influenced by such factors as language skills, access to medical services, government support, education and employment, and social and cultural environment. Conclusions: The results of the study revealed that although most of the respondents have average adaptation indicators, externally displaced Ukrainians experience a range of problems and need support and additional measures. Keywords: adaptation, social and psychological adaptation, externally displaced Ukrainians, integration, social environment

Abstract:
Background: Institutionalization of social policy in the field of social welfare of children deprived of parental care is a very urgent problem in the modern world. According to UNICEF, more than 140 million children in the world need social protection, including children deprived of parental care. Institutionalization of social policy in the field of social security for children deprived of parental care means the creation and development of a state support system that provides children with the necessary housing, food, medical care, education and psychological support. Institutionalizing social policy is essential to ensure children have the resources and support they need to develop and live fulfilling lives. Purpose: Identifying ways and tools that can ensure the effective institutionalization of social policy in the field of social welfare of children deprived of parental care, and providing them with appropriate conditions for the development and exercise of their rights to a full life. Methods: The theoretical research method consisted in the analysis of documents used to study the works of scientists regarding the study of the processes of institutionalization of social policy in the field of social security. Results: The study showed that the institutionalization of social policy is a key element of creating an effective system of social protection, which provides children deprived of parental care with the necessary conditions for full development and exit from difficult life situations. The study indicates that an important component of the institutionalization of social policy is the creation of an effective system of management and coordination of work between various state authorities and public organizations that provide social protection for children deprived of parental care. Conclusion: It is also worth noting that for the Ukrainian social security system in the context of the institutionalization process, the issue of implementing social control, that is, public control in this area, is relevant and acute. In our opinion, the inclusion of public control is one of the ways to improve the activities of social institutions in the field of social protection of children deprived of parental care. Keywords: institutionalization, social policy, social security, social protection, social orphans, children, deprived of parental care.

Sasovets, Violeta. "International experience of social protection of persons affected by radiation exposure." In Sociology – Social Work and Social Welfare: Regulation of Social Problems. Видавець ФОП Марченко Т.В., 2023. http://dx.doi.org/10.23939/sosrsw2023.191.

Abstract:
Background: The study of the international experience of social protection of persons affected by radiation exposure is important for the development of social policy and ensuring the protection of the rights of this category of people. Unfortunately, radiation exposure can cause serious illnesses and health damage, and the restoration of health and social rehabilitation of such people requires significant efforts and resources. In this context, the study of international experience can help identify best practices and approaches to social protection of victims of radiation exposure in different countries. In addition, such research can contribute to increasing attention to the problem of radiation protection and protection of the rights of victims of radiation exposure at the international level and attracting additional resources for their social protection. Purpose: Аnalysis of information on how different countries of the world provide social protection for persons affected by radiation exposure. The study is aimed at identifying best practices and opportunities for improving social protection for this category of people in countries where this issue needs to be addressed. Methods: The theoretical research method consisted in the analysis of documents used to study works on international programs of social protection affected by radiation exposure. For a better understanding of the problem, an empirical method was used, namely, a study was conducted on the analysis of the effectiveness of social policy measures - "State social guarantees in the social security of victims of the consequences of radiation exposure." Results: Comprehensive social protection programs for radiation victims are an important element in ensuring the safety and well-being of the population affected by radiation. The development and implementation of such programs aims to provide adequate medical, financial and social support for victims and their families, which helps to improve their quality of life and social integration. International experience shows that countries that develop and implement such programs provide effective support to victims and reduce the impact of radiation on their health and social life. Conclusion: In general, the international experience of social protection of persons affected by radiation exposure emphasizes the importance of addressing the long-term consequences of radiation exposure and ensuring that victims receive the necessary support and resources to rebuild their lives. To ensure effective social protection, it is necessary to coordinate the efforts of international and national bodies, develop and implement effective strategies and measures to ensure social protection, and pay due attention to informing the population about radiation risks and measures to prevent them. Keywords: social protection, social security, social program, radiation exposure.

Burnett, Cathy. Scoping the field of literacy research: how might a range of research be valuable to primary teachers? Sheffield Hallam University, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.7190/shu-working-papers/2201.

Abstract:
Literacy research has an important role to play in helping to shape educational policy and practice. The field of literacy research however is difficult to navigate as literacy has been understood and researched in many different ways. It encompasses work from psychology, sociology, philosophy and neuroscience, literary theory, media and literacy studies, and methodologies include a range of qualitative, quantitative and mixed methods approaches. In mapping this complex field, I draw on a systematic ‘scoping survey’ of a sample of peerreviewed articles featuring literacy research relevant to literacy education for children aged 5-11. Studies were deemed relevant if they: addressed literacy pedagogies and interventions; and/or provided pertinent insights (e.g. into children’s experiences of literacy); and/or offered implications for the range and scope of literacy education. The results of this survey are important in two ways. Firstly they help to articulate the range of literacy research and the varied ways that such research might speak to literacy education. Secondly they challenge easy distinctions between paradigms in literacy research. Recognising this complexity and heterogeneity matters given the history of relationships between literacy policy and practice in countries such as England, where polarised debate has often erased the subtle differences of perspective and confluence of interest that this survey illuminates. Based on the results of this survey I argue that an inclusive approach to literacy research is needed in educational contexts. Otherwise alternative and/or complementary ways of supporting children’s literacy learning may be missed, as will important possibilities for literacy education and children’s current and future lives.
