Effectiveness of behavior change techniques to address barriers to follow-up colonoscopy: Results From an Online Survey and Randomized Factorial Experiment
BACKGROUND: Nonattendance at colonoscopy is associated with reduced colorectal cancer (CRC) survival. PURPOSE: The aim of this research was to quantify barriers to colonoscopy and test the effectiveness of behavior change techniques (BCTs) to address them. METHODS: Two studies were conducted. In the first study, participants were asked to imagine their next CRC screening result was abnormal, and were presented with the standard abnormal result le…
‘I Do It All Alone’: The Burdens and Benefits of Being Diagnosed With, and Treated for, Colorectal Cancer During the Covid‐19 Pandemic
INTRODUCTION: The Covid-19 pandemic dramatically altered the way cancer care services were accessed and delivered, including for colorectal cancer (CRC). In the United Kingdom, patients were discouraged from presenting in primary care, many consultations took place remotely, investigative procedures and screening programmes were temporarily suspended, and fewer operations and treatments were delivered. People had to face the practical consequence…
Difusión e isomorfismo en las organizaciones el caso de las multinacionales
Aunque la sociología de las organizaciones y del trabajo se ocupa cada vez más de estudiar las empresas multinacionales, todavía se conoce poco el impacto que la internacionalización de la producción tiene en la tendencia al isomorfismo que se observa en las plantas operadas por multinacionales. Con los resultados del estudio de tres multinacionales, los autores señalan que las redes trasnacionales de directivos y el sistema de competición cooper…
Relaciones laborales en fusiones y adquisiciones transnacionales. Una aproximación política
Este artículo estudia la reestructuración que siguió a la fusión de dos multinacionales del sector farmacéutico. Los procesos de fusión y adquisición constituyen un buen escenario para la investigación de la capacidad de las multinacionales para difundir sus políticas y prácticas más allá de las fronteras de sus países de origen. Se seleccionaron cuatro plantas comparables en cuatro países suficientemente diversos por lo que se refiere a sus marc…

Attitudes and beliefs of non‐participants in a population‐based screening programme for colorectal cancer
BACKGROUND: Uptake of colorectal cancer screening programmes needs to be improved or at least maintained in order to achieve projected reductions in mortality and morbidity. Understanding the origins of non-participation in screening is therefore important. OBJECTIVE: To explore the beliefs and experiences of individuals who had not responded either to their screening invitation or reminder. DESIGN: A qualitative study using in-depth interviews w…
Analysis of operating environments: A diagnostic model for linking science, society and policy for sustainability
Relaciones laborales en fusiones y adquisiciones transnacionales. Una aproximación política (Labour Relations in International Mergers and Takeovers. A Political Approach)
This article studies the restructuring process following a cross-border merger between two pharmaceutical companies. Mergers and take-overs make a favourable scenario for researching the capacity that multinationals have for disseminating their policies and practices beyond the frontiers of their countries of origin. Four comparable plants in four countries that were sufficiently diverse as r gards their institutional frameworks for regulating em…
High School Sports
High school sports, arguably the most popular extracurricular activity in American schools, have been inextricably linked to the ideology of modernity. Conventional wisdom has it that participants in interscholastic athletics learn educational skills necessary for success in higher education and positive cultural values upon which they can draw as they develop into productive and well‐balanced adults. In short, there is widespread public faith th…
Worker Responses to Quality Organisation: Discourse and Materiality in Organisational Change
This paper explains varying degrees of employee commitment to organisational change across four organisations. Of the many workplace innovations in recent years, Quality Management (QM) is one of the most common and also, potentially, the most far-reaching. QM is the backdrop for a focus on variations in worker acceptance of change and the factors which explain this. These factors are split into two dimensions. First, the discursive aspects of qu…

Globalization of Sports Activities and Sport Perceptions among Adolescents from Berlin and Suburban New York
While economic-oriented theories identify a “homogenized” or “Americanized,” unidirectional model of global sport, figurational theories conceptualize globalization as much more complicated, multifaceted, and interactional. However, the spread of “achievement” sport is seen as central in both approaches. This paper investigates the degree to which “achievement” criteria characterize the sporting behavior and sporting perceptions of adolescents in…

Race and Sport in Global Perspective. Lessons From Post-Apartheid South Africa
This article discusses the implications of recent developments in South African sport for images of race and sport perpetuated internationally and in America. It is argued that the nonracial sports movement, an important symbol for racial equality in South Africa and abroad, has been helped by the international boycott of apartheid sport. Howerver, the image of Black athletes as genetically superior to Whites is also common in international sport…
Do high school sports build character? A quasi-experiment on a national sample
Popular sport culture, conventional social wisdom and promotional ideology by athletic associations suggest that participation in high school varsity sports programs has positive effects on prosocial personality traits (i.e., sport “builds character”). While it is an open ended process to specify which facets of personality are affected during the high school years by playing sports, we use a broad array of personality measures in a secondary ana…
On the Trail of the “Turkey Trotters”: The Effect of Previous Sport Involvement and Attitudes on Commitment to and Skill in Running
This study tests the degree to which previous sport involvement (PSI) and attitudes toward PSI (APSI) influence present attitudes toward running (ARUN) and commitment to and skill in running. A questionnaire measuring these variables was mailed to a random sample of 210 participants drawn from a local 5-mile race; it was returned by 103 males (60%) and 38 females (90%). Commitment was operationalized as respondents’ training mileage per week, ski…
Do High School Athletics Pay: The Effects of Varsity Participation on Socioeconomic Attainment
It has been reported that participation in high school athletics has a positive effect on education, occupational status attainment, and earnings. (Otto and Alwin, 1977; Howell and Picou, 1983). The findings regarding the economical benefits of sport participation have emerged from two regional panel studies and need to be examined for generalizability beyond local labor markets. We test this hypothesis using the five-wave Youth in Transition pan…
Intragroup Competition, Equity, and Interpersonal Attraction
Conflict Resolution in Games and Sports
Structural elements which seem to limit and control conflicts in games and sports are examined. How these elements may be developed within sport environments is then discussed. Valuable lessons can be learned (a) from sports and games in non-Western societies where conflict is often controlled by ritual, (b) from the informal games of children, where the play element often is maintained, and (c) from the concept of subordinate goals, developed as…
