Conducting researches entails a tedious process! However, this ppt introduces students about the nuance of research in the field of sociology. This could also be used in some other fields!
In sociology, a few theories provide broad perspectives that help explain many different aspects of
social life, and these are called paradigms. Paradigms are philosophical and theoretical frameworks
used within a discipline to formulate theories, generalizations, and the experiments performed in
support of them. Three paradigms have come to dominate sociological thinking, because they provide
useful explanations: structural functionalism, conflict theory, and symbolic interaction.

Have you ever wondered why individuals and societies are so varied?
Do you ask what social forces have shaped different existences?
The quest to understand society is urgent and important, for if we cannot understand the social world, we are more likely to be overwhelmed by it. We also need to understand social processes if we want to influence them.
Sociology can help us to understand ourselves better, since it examines how the social world influences the way we think, feel, and act.
It can also help with decision-making, both our own and that of larger organizations.
Sociologists can gather systematic information from which to make a decision, provide insights into what is going on in a situation, and present alternatives.

Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
Joel Best “Telling the Truth about Damned Lies and Statistics”
Purpose of Sociology?
Provide abstract analytical “models” of society
to aid in understanding
Getting back to social reform…

Difference between reform (radical…desire to rebuild society…we need a new system) and applying expert knowledge to particular contexts
“Public sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
Michael Burawoy
Sociological knowledge for whom?
For what purpose?
NOT easy questions!
“Since the middle of the 19th century,
social scientists have been asking about the influence of their work on society (27)
Contribute to social order and stability?
Promote social change?
Address problems; devise solutions?
Objectivity? Neutral and value-free? Passion?
Opening scene of the essay…
“Public sociologies: Contradictions, Dilemmas, and Possibilities”
References a meeting of the ASA in 2003. Why?
Vote on a member resolution
Should sociologists have or act on opinions regarding important “issues of the day”?
Overwhelming opposition to the war in Iraq
“Foreign interventions that do not have the support of the world community…” (27)
Intervention could spark terrorist attacks…
Passed by 2/3 majority (22% abstained)
In an opinion poll; 75% opposed the war
Ethos
Historical shift…1968, Vietnam war
Hypotheses of shift
1) ASA – has moved further left
In 1968…many sociologists held beliefs similar to the majority of the country population (54% opposed the war)
In 2003, the inverse…75% sociologists opposed the war; 75% of the public supported it
2) the world itself is different
1968… world ripe for change…the 60s/70s
Public context and sociological conscience moved in opposite directions….
The vote
Controversial
Ethics/ code of conduct
Scientifically and professionally derived knowledge
Is taking a moral or political position incompatible with scientific objectivity?
What is Burawoy’s position? Explain.
Pure science/ public engagement?
Policy interventions?
Education?
Housing?
Healthcare?
Public sociology
Engages the publics beyond the academy (beyond the university) in dialogue about matters of political and moral concern (30)

Voilá, mon concept de la sphère hyperbolique intégrale du temps! Cette vidéo est presente des méditations sur la question « Le temps exist-il? » posée par d’ Étienne Klein au Commissariat à l’énergie atomique et aux énergies alternatives (CEA), publié le 12 juin 2006.
A presentation held by Tabea Hirzel at the SMCU Residency with Prof. Hardy Boullion.
Abstract.
“Anarchy, State, and Utopia” [CITATION Noz74 \l 2055 ] is a work in the libertarian tradition of constitutional theory in which Robert Nozick sets up an explanation why societies are organized as states and how these states came to be. His major point is to justify the state and the state’s actions morally. Nozick bases his theory on the normative paradigm of rights held by individuals where the act of violating them is considered unfair and unjust [ CITATION Lef79 \l 2055 ]. Starting from a state-of-nature theory he defines rights as redistributive side constrains [CITATION Noz74 \p 32 \l 2055 ] leading to what he denominates his “entitlement theory” from which, by each and every one’s primordial intention to protect one’s own rights, emerges the state in an evolutionary process based on free exchange of obligations and rights. This theory defines the minimal state as the ideal form and any further extended state as illegitimate, following that its extension could only come in existence by violation of individual rights only. Even though his theory remains at the end unreliable its moral justification [ CITATION Bar77 \l 2055 ] or “incoherent” in his explanatory attempt [ CITATION Dav77 \l 2055 ], his approach based on rights where people as free agents use moral values as functions towards the goal of the individuals higher happiness is revolutionary in constitutional theories and future theories may find a rich foundation to build on its dynamics.

(May 29th, 2024) Advancements in Intravital Microscopy- Insights for Preclini...Scintica Instrumentation
Intravital microscopy (IVM) is a powerful tool utilized to study cellular behavior over time and space in vivo. Much of our understanding of cell biology has been accomplished using various in vitro and ex vivo methods; however, these studies do not necessarily reflect the natural dynamics of biological processes. Unlike traditional cell culture or fixed tissue imaging, IVM allows for the ultra-fast high-resolution imaging of cellular processes over time and space and were studied in its natural environment. Real-time visualization of biological processes in the context of an intact organism helps maintain physiological relevance and provide insights into the progression of disease, response to treatments or developmental processes.
In this webinar we give an overview of advanced applications of the IVM system in preclinical research. IVIM technology is a provider of all-in-one intravital microscopy systems and solutions optimized for in vivo imaging of live animal models at sub-micron resolution. The system’s unique features and user-friendly software enables researchers to probe fast dynamic biological processes such as immune cell tracking, cell-cell interaction as well as vascularization and tumor metastasis with exceptional detail. This webinar will also give an overview of IVM being utilized in drug development, offering a view into the intricate interaction between drugs/nanoparticles and tissues in vivo and allows for the evaluation of therapeutic intervention in a variety of tissues and organs. This interdisciplinary collaboration continues to drive the advancements of novel therapeutic strategies.
A brief information about the SCOP protein database used in bioinformatics.
The Structural Classification of Proteins (SCOP) database is a comprehensive and authoritative resource for the structural and evolutionary relationships of proteins. It provides a detailed and curated classification of protein structures, grouping them into families, superfamilies, and folds based on their structural and sequence similarities.
Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

Nutraceutical market, scope and growth: Herbal drug technologyLokesh Patil
As consumer awareness of health and wellness rises, the nutraceutical market—which includes goods like functional meals, drinks, and dietary supplements that provide health advantages beyond basic nutrition—is growing significantly. As healthcare expenses rise, the population ages, and people want natural and preventative health solutions more and more, this industry is increasing quickly. Further driving market expansion are product formulation innovations and the use of cutting-edge technology for customized nutrition. With its worldwide reach, the nutraceutical industry is expected to keep growing and provide significant chances for research and investment in a number of categories, including vitamins, minerals, probiotics, and herbal supplements.
Richard's entangled aventures in wonderlandRichard Gill
Since the loophole-free Bell experiments of 2020 and the Nobel prizes in physics of 2022, critics of Bell's work have retreated to the fortress of super-determinism. Now, super-determinism is a derogatory word - it just means "determinism". Palmer, Hance and Hossenfelder argue that quantum mechanics and determinism are not incompatible, using a sophisticated mathematical construction based on a subtle thinning of allowed states and measurements in quantum mechanics, such that what is left appears to make Bell's argument fail, without altering the empirical predictions of quantum mechanics. I think however that it is a smoke screen, and the slogan "lost in math" comes to my mind. I will discuss some other recent disproofs of Bell's theorem using the language of causality based on causal graphs. Causal thinking is also central to law and justice. I will mention surprising connections to my work on serial killer nurse cases, in particular the Dutch case of Lucia de Berk and the current UK case of Lucy Letby.
Earliest Galaxies in the JADES Origins Field: Luminosity Function and Cosmic ...Sérgio Sacani
We characterize the earliest galaxy population in the JADES Origins Field (JOF), the deepest
imaging field observed with JWST. We make use of the ancillary Hubble optical images (5 filters
spanning 0.4−0.9µm) and novel JWST images with 14 filters spanning 0.8−5µm, including 7 mediumband filters, and reaching total exposure times of up to 46 hours per filter. We combine all our data
at > 2.3µm to construct an ultradeep image, reaching as deep as ≈ 31.4 AB mag in the stack and
30.3-31.0 AB mag (5σ, r = 0.1” circular aperture) in individual filters. We measure photometric
redshifts and use robust selection criteria to identify a sample of eight galaxy candidates at redshifts
z = 11.5 − 15. These objects show compact half-light radii of R1/2 ∼ 50 − 200pc, stellar masses of
M⋆ ∼ 107−108M⊙, and star-formation rates of SFR ∼ 0.1−1 M⊙ yr−1
. Our search finds no candidates
at 15 < z < 20, placing upper limits at these redshifts. We develop a forward modeling approach to
infer the properties of the evolving luminosity function without binning in redshift or luminosity that
marginalizes over the photometric redshift uncertainty of our candidate galaxies and incorporates the
impact of non-detections. We find a z = 12 luminosity function in good agreement with prior results,
and that the luminosity function normalization and UV luminosity density decline by a factor of ∼ 2.5
from z = 12 to z = 14. We discuss the possible implications of our results in the context of theoretical
models for evolution of the dark matter halo mass function.

4. Process of Human InteractionThree Factors
• Human actors
o As subjects of interaction
• Meanings, values and norms
• Material phenomena
o As conductor for meaning
Hirzel - Sorokin, 2010 4
6. Quantum Politics
"Stripped of their meaningful aspects, all
the phenomena of human interaction
become merely biophysical phenomena
and, as such, properly form the subject of
the bio- physical sciences.''

13. Social degree of intensity
Degree of social interaction and closeneth of bonding
• Unibonded
o based on one main value, (religious, occupational, or kinship groups)
• multiple bonds (nation or a social class)
Openess or closeness of entrance barriers and cost of abundance:
• Open
• Closed

Hirzel - Sorokin, 2010 15
16. Philosophy of Sorokin
"Life, even the hardest life, is the most beautiful, wonderful, and miraculous
treasure in the world. Dante was banished for life and then sentenced to be
burned at the stake if he returned to Florence. Before that he had been a prose
writer on political reform and government. (We do not even know where he
lived while banished.) His outstanding writing after banishment (in this new
language for writing—Italian) was the Divine Comedy. (Why it is called either
"divine" or a "comedy" is completely unclear because it is, par excellence, a
political polemic of a profound social change nature.)"
Hirzel - Sorokin, 2010 16
17. General background of social philosophers
• A man in constant movement: originating outside of the
cultures about which he writes
• early engagement in political agitation
• unorthodox educations
• passage out of life, and then return (re-incarnation)
Hirzel - Sorokin, 2010 17
18. "immanency of change is the unexceptional, ever-present,
permanent, universal and necessary reason ('cause') of their
(sociocultural systems) change"; and (b) that "an enormous
number of sociocultural systems and processes have a limited
range of possibilities in their variation, in the creation of new
fundamental forms" (Dynamics, Vol. IV, p. 667 and p. 710).
Hirzel - Sorokin, 2010 18
19. • "Identically recurrent sociocultural processes are impossible."
"Eternally linear sociocultural processes are also impossible."
