The value of work for doctors in Pakistan: towards a framework for ensuring decent work

ABSTRACT The critical frontline work of doctors in Pakistan was overlooked and undervalued by the government, hospitals, and the public during the COVID-19 pandemic. Media reports and studies highlight that public sector doctors in Pakistan facing new societal, professional, and organisational challenges, compounding to the inherent demands of work potentially leading to its undervaluation. This study, explores how the work of doctors is (under)valued in Pakistan’s public sector hospitals, and how this aligns to the underpinnings of decent work. 27 semi structured in-depth interviews were conducted with doctors in Pakistan’s public sector hospitals. We found that serving others, recognition and appreciation, and professional learning and development were valuable aspects, while flaws in the healthcare system, issues from patients and public, poor work environment, a lack of essential health facilities, and physical and mental health challenges associated with work were considered factors which undervalue the work for doctors. Drawing on the intersect between the concept of decent work and psychology of working theory, we establish a value framework for decent work that aligns with its psychological and sociological dimensions. Based on the findings we offer policy and practice implications ensuring the provision of decent work to public sector doctors in Pakistan.

Pulmonary Rehabilitation Exercises Effectively Improve Chronic Cough After Surgery for Non-small Cell Lung Cancer.

Cough is a major complication after lung cancer surgery, potentially impacting lung function and quality of life. However, effective treatments for managing long-term persistent postoperative cough remain elusive. In this study, we investigated the potential of a pulmonary rehabilitation training program to effectively address this issue. Between January 2019 and December 2022, a retrospective review was conducted on patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who underwent lobectomy and lymph node dissection via video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery (VATS) at Daping hospital. Based on their postoperative rehabilitation methods, the patients were categorized into 2 groups: the traditional rehabilitation group and the pulmonary rehabilitation group. All patients underwent assessment using the Leicester cough questionnaire (LCQ) on the third postoperative day. Additionally, at the 6-month follow-up, patients' LCQ scores and lung function were re-evaluated to assess the long-term effects of the pulmonary rehabilitation training programs. Among the 276 patients meeting the inclusion criteria, 195 (70.7%) were in the traditional rehabilitation group, while 81 (29.3%) participated in the pulmonary rehabilitation group. The pulmonary rehabilitation group showed a significantly lower incidence of cough on the third postoperative day (16.0% vs 29.7%, P = .018) and higher LCQ scores in the somatic dimension (5.09 ± .81 vs 4.15 ± 1.22, P = .007) as well as in the total score (16.44 ± 2.86 vs 15.11 ± 2.51, P = .018, whereas there were no significant differences in psychiatric and sociological dimensions. At the 6-month follow-up, the pulmonary rehabilitation group continued to have a lower cough incidence (3.7% vs 12.8%, P = .022) and higher LCQ scores across all dimensions: somatic (6.19 ± .11 vs 5.75 ± 1.20, P = .035), mental (6.37 ± 1.19 vs 5.85 ± 1.22, P = .002), sociological (6.76 ± 1.22 vs 5.62 ± 1.08, P < .001), and total (18.22 ± 2.37 vs 16.21 ± 2.53, P < .001). Additionally, lung function parameters including FVC, FVC%, FEV1, FEV1%, MVV, MVV%, DLCO SB, and DLCO% were all significantly higher in the pulmonary rehabilitation group compared to the traditional group. Pulmonary rehabilitation exercises significantly reduced the incidence of postoperative cough and improved cough-related quality of life in patients undergoing lobectomy, with sustained benefits observed at the 6-month follow-up. Additionally, these exercises demonstrated superior lung function outcomes compared to traditional rehabilitation methods.

Identifying the Sociological Dimensions of Emotional Divorce and Typology of its Types in Tehran

Objective: This study aims to identify the sociological dimensions and typology of emotional divorce in Tehran. Methods and Materials: The study employs a qualitative research approach with a phenomenological strategy. The statistical population includes couples aged between 25 to 40 years. Using purposive sampling, 21 participants were selected based on theoretical saturation. Data collection was conducted through semi-structured interviews. For data analysis, open coding and axial coding processes were used to extract relevant structures and indicators. The reliability of the coding process was ensured through re-coding and high levels of agreement. Findings: The research identified four main categories of emotional divorce, encompassing 14 initial codes and 55 semantic codes. The primary dimensions identified include compulsory living, lack of emotional behavior towards the spouse, emotional void, and changes in emotional relationships. Additionally, six types of emotional divorce were identified: lack of emotional support, communicative divorce, sexual divorce, reduced empathy, attentional divorce, and respect divorce. These types were derived from a detailed analysis of 82 semantic codes collected from the interview data. Conclusion: Emotional divorce is a complex and multifaceted phenomenon with profound and long-lasting effects on family and social relationships. The study underscores the importance of considering sociological factors in mitigating the negative impacts of emotional divorce. The findings suggest that appropriate training in communication and emotional management skills can significantly reduce the likelihood of emotional divorce. These insights are valuable for family counselors, psychologists, and policymakers in developing effective strategies and policies to enhance marital quality and prevent emotional divorce.

Mikrohistoria Bronisława Zielińskiego w polu translatorsko-literackim

Translators and interpreters have always played a key role as intercultural mediators, however, their biographies and functions as active agents of cultural change have only recently started to be studied. Following the sociological and material turn in translation studies, there has been a growing interest in the figure of the literary translator, not as a category of the translation process, but as a living human being who not „only” produces texts, but influences cultural transfer, introduces new poetics and shapes literary canons. Nowadays, researchers point to the necessity of describing the place and role of translators not only within Translation Studies, but above all, in the network of social contacts and relationships. The sociology of translators includes such issues as the status of translators in different cultures, pay rates, place and conditions of work, the public discourse of translation, i.e. the manifestations of the public image of the translating profession, which is visible, for example, in the press or in literary works. This area also encompasses research on translators’ attitudes towards their work, as revealed in essays, interviews, prefaces and translators’ archives. The paper focuses on the biography of the translator, placed in a broad historical and social context and thus, in the cultural and sociological dimensions of translator studies. In examining the biography of the Polish translator Bronisław Zieliński, the methodology of microhistory (adapted for translation studies by Jeremy Munday) will be used and combined with Anthony Chesterman’s theoretical proposal of translator studies.

Analiza socioloških aspekata informacione bezbednosti primenom HAIS-Q modela

The aim of the paper is to research the sociological aspects of information security through the HAIS-Q model, at the Faculty of Engineering Management. The research was conducted anonymously, within a time frame of four months, on a sample of 179 respondents. The HAIS-Q model is built from seven focus groups, which pervade the variables of knowledge, attitudes and behaviours, while the subject research is focused on the focus area "use of the Internet". By analyzing the variables with the lowest scores in one of the seven focus areas of this model, gaps in information security awareness among employees are explored. The paper highlights the implications of these deficiencies for organizational security and information protection, with an emphasis on the importance of improving the variables with the lowest scores. Through a comprehensive consideration of the sociological dimensions of information security, this paper contributes to a better understanding and management of this important field, emphasizing its importance in today's digital age.

Synthesizing sociological dimensions into engineering programs: challenges for the sociology teachers in Bangladesh

This qualitative study examines the challenges and opportunities faced by sociology teachers in engineering universities in Bangladesh, focusing on the integration of sociology courses into engineering programs. Interviews with 13 faculty members reveal institutional constraints, including faculty shortages, awkward questioning from engineering department heads, perceived less social prestige alongside student-related barriers such as skepticism about sociology's relevance, perceptions of engineering disciplines' technical superiority, etc. These factors underscore the cultural and disciplinary divergences within the educational realm. While current teaching methods are acknowledged, they are deemed inadequate. The study proposes a proactive approach, leveraging principles from Social Construction of Technology, Actor-Network Theory, and Agential Realism to bridge the gap between engineering and social sciences. Recommendations include addressing curriculum deficiencies, raising awareness of sociology's importance, employing innovative teaching methods, and fostering interdisciplinary understanding. By adopting these measures, sociology educators can navigate barriers effectively, enriching educational experiences within Bangladeshi engineering universities and beyond.

Changing pedagogy in rural secondary schools through the technology, pedagogy, content, and spaces (TPeCS) knowledge framework

The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic exposed insecurities and inequalities in schools. As such, there has been changing pedagogy in rural secondary schools in the uMkhanyakude district. Teachers adopted the technology, pedagogy, content, and spaces (TPeCS) knowledge framework, integrating planned behaviour. Teachers and learners engaged in discussion as a means of teaching and learning mathematics after school hours. This implicated cultural and sociological dimensions that were common among rural teachers and learners. Although the findings of this study could not be generalised, an all-encompassing framework for rural secondary school teachers and learners through online discussions is recommended. Novel technology-enhanced out-of-school teaching and learning activities were developed through progressive, participatory action-research. Furthermore, the findings support collaboration and a new contextualised theory called the technology, pedagogy, content, interaction, and spaces (TPeCIS) knowledge framework.

A Socio-Cultural Research on The People of Yağlıdere Living in The Usa within The Scope of Diaspora Tourism

While many tourists become attached to a destination after repeated visits, immigrant tourists feel connected to the people, culture, and heritage of the destination prior to their visit. In this context, this study examines the visits of immigrants from Yaglidere who visit their ancestral lands as tourists in a sociological dimension from the United States of America. Exploratory research approach and phenomenology model were adopted as the research method in the study. In this study, in which qualitative research design was used, in-depth semi-structured interview technique was used as data collection technique. The research data was determined with maximum diversity using purposive sampling. The data obtained were coded, categorized and interpreted by content analysis used in qualitative data analysis. In the study, it was concluded that the main motivation for the participants to visit Turkey was to fulfill family and homesickness. It was determined that the participants visited Turkey because of its historical background, cultural diversity, food and natural beauties. Based on the results obtained in the study, it is thought that the tourism sector can develop marketing strategies for the development of diaspora tourism by considering the demands of the participants, thus providing more added value to the national economy and increasing the satisfaction rate of diaspora tourists.

The sociological dimension of media interactions: current state and author's design of the study

In the research of modern digital society, interaction through various channels and media is increasingly coming to the fore as a “|gaining momentum” trend of social development. Meanwhile, despite the abundance of empirical data in this area, the scientific understanding of interactions understood as media is in the process of formation, which is especially noticeable from the point of view of sociological discourse. It thoroughly represents the interactions of the traditional type, that is, social, in the works of E. Durkheim, M. Weber, G. Simmel, T. Parsons, J. Homans, J. Mead, P. Bourdieu and other classics of sociological thought. The Russian sociological science, starting with P.A. Sorokin and up to the present day, in which interactions form the essence of all social processes, does not stand aside either. Actually, media interactions have been considered by foreign sociologists since the 70s of the twentieth century, in line with the interaction of the audience with the media and social networks (J. Nordlund, P. Robinson, J. Blommaert). The paper is intended to represent the author’s vision media interactions studies design and is based sociolinguistic and socio- communication approaches allowing to most accurately identify essence of these processes.

A figurational approach to environmental sustainability in the context of sport.

Discourses around environmental sustainability and climate change are increasingly prominent in the sports sector, with a growing range of sports organisations developing policies to address these issues. This paper contends that figurational (or process) sociology can offer a useful framework for examining the development of policy as a process in the context of sport and, specifically, mega-events. The Olympic Games serve as an example for purposes of contextualisation, illustrating four interconnected dimensions of figurational sociology: lengthening chains of interdependence, established-outsider power relations, internalisation of social values, and unintended consequences. Further, the paper seeks to highlight the utility of a figurational perspective particularly when this is enhanced through the integration of complementary concepts, namely knowledge transfer, isomorphism, and diffusion of innovations. Thus, it is asserted that a blended figurational approach can help facilitate understanding of interdependencies and dynamic power relations across expanded stakeholder networks in relation to sports mega-events. Finally, the paper touches on the relevance of sport in relation to the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals to highlight the need for policy coherence that is arguably unachievable without the understanding of stakeholder interdependencies and power relationships a figurational lens enables. Such understanding is therefore considered to be important as a foundation for the enactment of meaningful policy in the fight against climate change.

Social Determinants of Conducting Innovative Business Activity in the Opinion of the Inhabitants of the Silesian Voivodeship (Poland)

Abstract This article analyzes the results of social research on the determinants of decision-making in the field of running a business – especially the innovative one. The research was conducted on a sample of 400 inhabitants of the Silesian Voivodeship (Poland). The region of the Silesian Voivodeship is, in this respect, a specific region in Poland - highly urbanized, industrialized with a rich communication and transport infrastructure. The analyzed research was based on the results of a survey conducted using a questionnaire based on selected socio-demographic characteristics, considering the current distribution characterizing the inhabitants of the Silesian Voivodeship. Supporting factors and areas of expected support in starting a business activity were identified, as well as factors limiting the interest and readiness to start such activity. The results indicate that the main obstacles are the lack of financial support for starting, fear of risk, lack of access to information on the possibilities of financial support, frequent changes in legal regulations, lack of updating knowledge regarding the possibilities of financing and starting a business, lack of support in strengthening skills. in managing all areas of management of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. An interesting result with a sociological dimension is the support of family and relatives in terms of motivation to start a business.

Reassessing Public Participation in Constitution-Making Processes

Scholars have long debated public involvement in constitution-making and will continue to do so. Yet, despite the multitude of opinions, we are no closer to resolving some of the most fundamental questions regarding the role of the public in constitution-making processes than decades ago when these discussions first started. The recent participatory Chilean constitution-making process, the growing wave of authoritarian constitution-making, and the plethora of new empirical evidence present another occasion to revisit this topic. In contrast to earlier literature, this article approaches this topic by addressing both the normative and the sociological dimensions of public participation in constitution-making. It first argues that public participation in constitution-making should only be considered a sociological necessity, not a normative one. Second, using a bottom-up approach, it provides a list of guiding principles to ensure that public participation in constitution-making, when conducted, allows for a net positive for both the constitution and the society it governs.

IMPORTANCE OF PLAY IN EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION AND CHILDREN’S RIGHT TO PLAY

Children’s play is first and foremost a matter of human rights. As declared in the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC, 1989), all children and young people have the right to play and have an intrinsic need to play. Play provides opportunities for children and young people to be free to choose what they do, and to challenge themselves, take risks and enjoy freedoms. (Playboard Northern Ireland, Young researchers’ team, 2013). General Comment 17 of the UNCRC states that children need to play in order to grow, learn and that play is a way of taking part in everyday life. Play also provides opportunities to promote gender equality and is essential for children’s health and well-being. The importance of play in early childhood education (ECE) will be analyzed with a specific emphasis on the sociological dimension and as a right granted to children by the UNCRC.

Impact of family moral support on female entrepreneurs involved in craft tourism

ABSTRACT The paper examined how family moral support influenced the performance of women entrepreneurs involved in craft tourism in Southern Africa. Relativist ontology and subjectivist epistemology were adopted to understand the rural women entrepreneurs' experiences and perspectives. The stakeholder theory was applied to disaggregate the family system and identify how each member impacts women entrepreneurs' performance. The family's structure and composition helped to explain women entrepreneurs' resilience. Thematic content analysis was used to present rural women entrepreneurs' narratives. Evidence from the study indicated that spouses and children's moral support boosted women entrepreneurs' confidence and ability to collaborate with other entrepreneurs. The research analysed the social context (family) and explained the role played by the family in sustaining rural women-owned craft tourism ventures. Apart from localising the tourism perspectives from rural women entrepreneurs' perspective, the ensuing discussion puts into perspective the emotional support mechanisms that enable women entrepreneurs to balance family-venture commitments. This paper contributes to the literature by examining how individual family members' moral support impacts women entrepreneurs' performance. It also makes a theoretical contribution by analysing craft tourism entrepreneurship from a sociological dimension and disaggregating the family system to identify and explain each family member's contribution to the informal economy.

THREE-DIMENSIONAL ASPECTS OF THE MAIN CHARACTER IN DELIA OWENS' WHERE THE CRAWDADS SING

Egri's three-dimensional theory (1923) was employed to examine the multifaceted aspects of Catherine Danielle Clark, the main character in Delia Owens' novel "Where the Crawdads Sing." This qualitative study utilized a narrative approach to gather and analyze data through inductive and deductive techniques. The findings revealed several three-dimensional aspects of Catherine Danielle Clark. Physically, she possessed beauty, long black hair, and a well-proportioned body with a deep-tanned complexion, which improved as she matured. Socially, she hailed from a lower-class American family, held various jobs as a seafood seller, book writer, and poet, and experienced discrimination and singledom. Her hobbies included reading books and collecting organisms from the marsh. Psychologically, she exhibited introversion, insecurity, sensitivity, irritability, selfishness, anxiety, and a reluctance to forgive. However, she also displayed independence, optimism, and a determined fighting spirit for survival, showcasing remarkable talent in painting and writing. Overall, the study found that the psychological dimension was more pronounced than the physiological and social dimensions. Keywords: main character, physiological dimension, psychological dimension, sociological dimension, three-dimensional aspects

Patriotism of the regional youth in the sociological dimension (case of the Penza region)

The article presents the results of a study of the relationship between a number of socio-political dispositions of young people with variants of everyday patriotic ideas in terms of «civil» vs «protective» patriotism. For the empirical base of the study the authors used the data of a survey of young people aged 18-30 years, conducted in September 2020 in the Penza region (N=530). Based on the results of the study, it was found that the options for attitudes towards the country on the scale of «civil» vs «protective» patriotism, in connection with their characteristic socio-political dispositions, are systemic integrities that have both positive and negative characteristics, if we evaluate these variants in terms of their consolidation potential, that is so much in demand in the current situation. The civilian version of patriotism contains a serious resource for the development of the country in all areas, but it does not have any significant potential for nationwide consolidation. This variant of patriotism is extremely important and in demand during the period of sustainable development of society in favourable political and economic conditions, but is fraught with risks of fragmentation of the community into separate, explicitly or implicitly conflicting groups in critical situations. The protective version of patriotism is characterised by the vision of the Russian socio-cultural environment as a closed self-sufficient system. This does not provide a significant potential for the socio-economic and socio-cultural development of the country. The most serious drawback of the protective version of patriotism is the risk of its gradual degeneration into chauvinism. At the same time, the protective version of patriotism has a serious potential for the consolidation of almost all layers and groups of the Russian population. During periods of peaceful development of society in favourable external and internal conditions, this variant of patriotism is little in demand and even undesirable, but in critical situations, the protective variant of patriotism can become relevant and popular.
