procedure

Examples of procedure in the following topics:

• Formal Structure

  • Formal structure of an organization or group includes a fixed set of rules for intra-organization procedures and structures.
  • The formal structure of a group or organization includes a fixed set of rules of procedures and structures, usually set out in writing, with a language of rules that ostensibly leave little discretion for interpretation.
  • A formal organization is a fixed set of rules of intra-organization procedures and structures.

• Institutional Prejudice or Discrimination

  • Institutionalized discrimination refers to discrimination embedded in the procedures, policies or objectives of large organizations.
  • These practices are embedded in the operating procedures, policies, laws, or objectives of large organizations, such as governments and corporations, financial institutions, public institutions and other large entities.

• Hypotheses about the means of multiple groups

  • The procedure Tools>Testing Hypotheses>Node-level>Anova provides the regular OLS approach to estimating differences in group means.
  • Because our observations are not independent, the procedure of estimating standard errors by random replications is also applied.

• Determining the Research Design

  • The research design is the methodology and procedure a researcher follows to answer their sociological question.
  • A research design encompasses the methodology and procedure employed to conduct scientific research.
  • Although procedures vary from one field of inquiry to another, identifiable features distinguish scientific inquiry from other methods of obtaining knowledge.

• Ethnomethodology

  • Ethnomethodology studies procedures people carry out in order to create a sense of orderliness within a particular institution or community.
  • While traditional sociology usually offers an analysis of society, taking the objective truth of the social order for granted, ethnomethodology is concerned with the procedures by which that social order is produced and shared.
  • While traditional sociology usually provides descriptions of social settings, which compete with the actual descriptions offered by the individuals who are party to those settings, ethnomethodology seeks to describe the actual procedures that individuals use in their descriptions of those settings.

• Innovation

  • This system aids in better evaluation of policies and procedures with accountability and efficiency in terms of time and money.
  • This system aids in better evaluation of policies and procedures with accountability and efficiency in terms of time and money.

• Misleading Research Subjects

  • If a researcher deceives or conceals the purpose or procedure of a study, they are misleading their research subjects.

• Approaches to network positions and social roles

  • The relations that I have with the university (as "Professor") are similar in some ways to the relations that my students have with the university: we are both governed by many of the same rules, practices, and procedures.

• Correlation between two networks with the same actors

  • Tools>Testing Hypotheses>Dyadic (QAP)>QAP Correlation calculates measures of nominal, ordinal, and interval association between the relations in two matrices, and uses quadratic assignment procedures to develop standard errors to test for the significance of association.
  • The idea of the "Quadratic Assignment Procedure" is to identify the value of the measure of association when their really isn't any systematic connection between the two relations.

• Paying for Medical Care

  • Advances in medical technology have arguably driven up the prices of procedures, especially cutting edge and experimental procedures.
  • Also, since current private plans are not very good at limiting spending to cost effective procedures and schedules, those consumers exploiting this will view the transition to a public system as a reduction in their compensation or benefits, and will question whether a society that will allow them to buy a better car or a European vacation, but not better health care, is truly free.
  • Because insurance companies can avoid paying claims for experimental procedures, this has lead some insurers to claim that procedures are still experimental well after they have become standard medical practice.
  • This phenomenon was especially prevalent among private insurance companies after organ transplants, particularly kidney transplants, first became standard medical practice, due to the tremendous costs associated with this procedure and other organ transplantation.
  • Rather than allowing such decisions to be made by health care professionals who know which procedures or treatments are necessary, these health plan administrators are dictating medical practice through their refusal to cover claims.
