Past research indicates that Sociology is a low-consensus discipline, where different schools of thought have distinct expectations about suitable scientific practices. This division of Sociology into different subfields is to a large extent related to methodology and choices between qualitative or quantitative research methods. Relying on theoretical constructs of the academic prestige economy, boundary demarcation and taste for research, we examine the methodological divide in generalist Sociology journals. Using automated text analysis for 8737 abstracts of articles published between 1995 and 2017, we discover evidence of this divide, but also of an entanglement between methodological choices and different research topics. Moreover, our results suggest a marginally increasing time trend for the publication of quantitative research in generalist journals. We discuss how this consolidation of methodological practices could enforce the entrenchment of different schools of thought, which ultimately reduces the potential for innovative and effective sociological research.

Critical Overview

In this article, we take a view on the current state of the art of empirical sociological research on the family and draw some conclusions concerning challenges of future research. We identify the main research topics of family sociology and provide a critical overview over the knowledge already gained and the scientific discourse in important fields of research. Deficits are addressed und future research topics are proposed. We need more research on cultural and social determinants of family dynamics, thus requiring an innovative thrust in research methods, more interdisciplinary openness and more comparative research. From the substantive point of view, more research is needed on the performance and the capabilities of families in modern societies. These research endeavours should be accompanied by a serious discussion about the future of the family. Zusammenfassung In diesem Beitrag wird, notgedrungen selektiv, der derzeitige Stand der soziologischen Familienforschung beleuchtet und es werden einige Schlussfolgerungen zu zukünftigen Aufgaben abgeleitet, denen sich die Familiensoziologie zu stellen hat. Das Forschungsprogramm der Familiesoziologie wird näher bestimmt. Darauf bezogen wird ein kritischer Überblick über den Forschungs- und Diskussionsstand in den wichtigsten Forschungsfeldern gegeben. Einige Forschungsdefizite werden diagnostiziert. Die Bestandsaufnahme mündet in die Formulierung einer Reihe von wichtigen Herausforderungen familiensoziologischer Forschung. Dazu gehört, die Analyse der kulturellen und sozialen Determinanten der Familienentwicklung zu stärken, was nur durch einen Innovationsschub in der familiensoziologischen Empirie, eine noch stärkere interdisziplinäre Ausrichtung der empirischen Familiensoziologie und mehr international vergleichende Forschung erreicht werden kann. Inhaltlich sollte die Forschung zu den Leistungen und zur Leistungsfähigkeit der Familie unter verschiedenen gesellschaftlichen Rahmenbedingungen stärker in den Vordergrund gerückt und eine engagierte Diskussion um die Zukunft der Familie initiiert werden.

Angioplasty And Stenting

Cerebrovascular diseases are a problem of the world today, and according to the forecast, the problem of the near future arises. The main risk factors for the development of ischemic disorders of the cerebral circulation include oblique and aging, arterial hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus and heart disease. An effective strategy for the prevention of cerebrovascular events is based on the implementation of large-scale risk control measures, including the use of antiagregant and anticoagulant therapy, invasive interventions such as atheromectomy, angioplasty and stenting. In this connection, the efforts of neurologists, cardiologists, angiosurgery, endocrinologists and other specialists are the basis for achieving an acceptable clinical outcome. A review of the SF-36 method for assessing the quality of life in patients with the effects of transient ischemic stroke is presented. The assessment of quality of life is recognized in world medical practice and research, an indicator that is also used to assess the quality of the health system and in general sociological research.
