Why Forensic Pathologists Maintain Uncertainty in Reporting Causes of Death
This paper examines how forensic pathologists in Sweden understand and reason around how to communicate the un/certainty of cause of death, given their position to other actors. The paper explores uncertainty work related to the understanding and reasoning on how to use a degree of certainty scale. To define the scale, I introduce the concept of communicative uncertainty device, a concept which can stimulate new questions and comparisons across d…
The Promise of Total Institutions in the Sociology of Organizations
Differences in secondary adjustments among monks and nuns
How do monks and nuns manage expectations regarding how to 'open their hearts'? What alternatives do they have and what are the consequences? Based on a multi-sited case study of Cistercian monasteries in France, this article compares the different situation of nuns and monks. The analysis shows how monks are free to choose who they will 'open their heart' to, whereas nuns are expected to rely on the abbess. While certain ways that nuns circumven…
The politics of monastic life
Total institutions are by definition totalitarian, but not necessarily authoritarian. Voluntary total institutions consist of members who have chosen to enter, but what opportunities do they have to leave? This article addresses opportunities for exit and voice in Catholic monasteries within the Cistercian Order of Strict Observance. Monasteries have institutionalized important democratic processes regarding membership and leadership. Members are…
You Can't Just Stick with Those You Like
Tensions between different relationship forms exist in every organisational setting. Catholic monasteries - as archetypical examples of voluntary total and greedy institutions - provide strategic cases of inquiry for understanding relational conflicts owing to the significance they assign to exclusively fraternal relations, resulting in explicit tensions regarding personal forms of relationships, such as friendship. Based on a multi-sited, qualit…
Creating Convincing Simulations in Astrophysics
Numerical simulations have come to be widely used in scientific work. Like experiments, simulations generate large quantities of numbers (output data) that require analysis and constant concern with uncertainty and error. How do simulationists convince themselves, and others, about the credibility of output? The present analysis reconstructs the perspectives related to performing numerical simulations, in general, and the situations in which simu…
Organizing Simulation Code Collectives
This article examines the ways researchers develop and use computer programs for numerical simulations and the different social relationships that are involved in creating the frames for these activities. On the basis of ethnographic case studies of numerical simulation practice in astrophysics, oceanography, and meteorology, including climate modelling, the present article discusses how work with simulation codes can be discussed by means of a t…
Cultures of simulations vs. cultures of calculations? The development of simulation practices in meteorology and astrophysics
The dynamics of coordinated comparisons
This paper explores the social dynamics of so-called intercomparison projects. An intercomparison project is a type of collaborative project that takes place in a number of simulation-based research areas such as astrophysics and climate modelling. Intercomparison projects can be seen as form of metrological practice in which the participants compare the results of numerical simulations of the ‘same’ scientific problem in order to ensure their re…
The Everyday World of Simulation Modeling
This article explores the practice of simulation modeling by investigating how parameterizations are constructed and integrated into existing frameworks. Parameterizations are simplified process descriptions adapted for simulation models. On the basis of a study of meteorological research, the article presents predictive and representative construction as two different ways of developing parameterizations and the trade-offs involved in this work.…
Parameterizations as Boundary Objects on the Climate Arena
This paper analyses the relationship between field experimentalists and simulation modellers in meteorological research on the one hand, and how this is related to climate change as a common arena of concern on the other. Climate has become the central topic in meteorological research and it is imperative to link specific research problems to climate change in order to receive funding and attract talent. In addition, climate models have become ga…
Scientific Models and Simulations
The term model is used in multiple ways in science and there are several different kinds of models. The most basic scientific models are material and conceptual analogues. They are copies that stand in for more opaque systems. Cloud chambers and cell cultures are examples of material models, whereas conceptual models are more abstract analogies that seek to render theories more comprehensible. Mathematical models are typically applications, appro…
Mobilizing Networks
Collaboration is an important part of scientific practice and work. This analysis of how field experimental collaborations within atmospheric science are organized focuses on how relations between researchers are established and how this is related to the mobilization of resources. It is argued that these relationships can be understood by being considered from the point of view of the different researcher roles that researchers play in relation …
Credulous Modellers and Suspicious Experimentalists? Comparison of Model Output and Data in Meteorological Simulation Modelling
This article studies the relation between two specialised practices in meteorology, modelling and field measurements. This relation is embodied in a number of joint practices of which model evaluation is one of them. The relationship between theory, model and observation has been of concern for many philosophers of science whereas the relationship between the working practices that underlie theories, models and observations, has received less att…
