Despite decades of sociology scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) research, integration of SoTL in sociology remains insufficient. First, some reasons for the insufficient integration of SoTL ...in the discipline are noted, and the foci of publications on the history and status of the SoTL in sociology are briefly summarized. Literature related to three questions about the integration of SoTL in sociology is then presented: (1) To what degree are theories, methods, and research findings of the discipline used in sociology SoTL? (2) Is there strong disciplinary support and recognition for SoTL and involvement in SoTL in departments and professional organizations? (3) Do sociologists use SoTL findings in the practice of teaching and learning in the discipline? Finally, some existing and new strategies to increase integration are described.
Over the last decade, expanded participation among stakeholders has been increasingly adopted by both public and private organizations in different domains. This approach is used to strengthen the ...involvement of stakeholders in decision-making processes about meaningful decisions that will affect their communities. This paper aims to review, categorize, and offer a better understanding of the different issues that stakeholders' participation processes (SPPs). To meet this aim, a systematic literature review has been conducted. This paper has two main contributions. First, it presents a typology of issues that is arranged in nine categories: economic, efficiency and effectiveness, ethical, legislative, political, administration, socioeconomic, stakeholders and social, and technology. Second, it proposes a conceptual model of SPPs dimensions of issues. A real-world scenario of use of the proposed conceptual model and recommendations are presented.
•A systematic literature review provides an overview of the existing knowledge on stakeholders' participation processes (SPPs)•SPPs implementation faces nine multidisciplinary categories of issues.•SPPs categories of issues are grouped into four dimensions, which are Application, Governance, Stakeholders and Society.•A real-word scenario illustrates the applicability of the conceptual model in planning and assessing SPPs.•Recommendations are identified to face these issues.
This chapter is derived from a research project, conducted and completed in the United Kingdom (UK), which investigated the nature and characteristics of a disciplinary inclusion room (IR). I argue ...that such internal disciplinary approaches need not interfere with student learning, the educational purpose of schooling.
Pregnant women are highly susceptible to periodontal disease due to changes in hormonal and immune levels, which places a huge burden on the healthcare system and requires multidisciplinary ...interventions. This study aimed to assess the scientific profile and research trends related to periodontal disease in pregnancy through a bibliometric approach.
Publications about periodontal disease in pregnancy from 2000 to 2022 were extracted from Science Citation Index Expanded. The knowledge networks of countries, institutions, authors, journals, references, and keywords in this field were constructed using the Citespace, VOSviewer, Bibliometrix, and BIBLIOMETRIC.COM platforms. Furthermore, correlations between the characteristics of countries and the number or impact of publications were analyzed.
1162 original studies and reviews were included. There was a trend toward increased publications and citations in this field. The United States had the highest academic productivity and impact by a significant margin, while correlation analyses indicated that economic power may correlate with national scientific activity. The University of North Carolina and Offenbacher S were the most influential institution and author, respectively, taking center stage in the collaborative networks. However, only several loose connections between countries or institutions were identified in the global collaborative network analysis. Six of the top ten most productive journals were in Q1 in the Journal Citation Report, and there was intensive interaction between different research subfields, such as immunology, molecular biology, and microbiology. Frontier topics were primarily clustered in two areas: (1) oral microbiology, such as microbiome, oral bacteria, and Fusobacterium nucleatum; and (2) public health, such as quality of life, pregnancy outcomes, oral health, obesity, and classification.
Since 2000, periodontal disease in pregnancy is receiving increasingly widespread attention and is rapidly evolving at a multidisciplinary level. Oral microbiological pathogenesis and public health impact-related research deserve more exploration and may be the future direction of research. Enhanced Collaboration and interdisciplinary communication may further facilitate progress in this discipline.
