Physiology of Organisations: An Integrated Functional Perspective
Cecilia Margaretha Dean
Cambridge Scholars Publishing, 16-Jan-2013 - Business & Economics - 210 pages
Can we imagine organisations to be like human bodies? Modern medicine has advanced since the study of blood, phlegm, yellow bile and black bile was assumed to explain how the body functions. Organisational science today is in a similar mediaeval position, with fragmented theories of structure, competitiveness and human resources, and no overall theory of organising. This book fills that gap by constructing a physiological theory of organising.
During the middle of the twentieth century, the anthropologist Radcliffe-Brown asserted that there should be a single branch of science for the study of human society. He maintained that a natural science, in the form of the study of the physiology of societies, was not yet available to form a link between theory and applied science. This research-based book explores the feasibility of studying the physiology of organisations, and determines whether this sort of knowledge can offer an improved perspective on organisational functioning. If we think about organisations in the same way that we think about human bodies, then we will be able to treat them when they are ill, and ensure that they work at maximum efficiency.
The first chapter has good content on research methodology.

International conference "Language Teaching in Increasingly Multilingual Environments: From Research to Practice"
16-18 September 2010
University of Warsaw, Poland
16-18 September 2010
University of Warsaw, Poland
Conference announcement
We are pleased to announce an international conference “Language Teaching in Increasingly Multilingual Environments: From Research to Practice”, which will take place in September 2010 at the scenic campus of the University of Warsaw.
The aim of the conference is to provide a multilingual, international platform for exploration and exchange of research findings, perspectives, and experience in language teaching and language development in multilingual environments. The event will bring together academics, researchers, teacher trainers, materials writers, practitioners, and students concerned with foreign/second language acquisition and instruction. Special emphasis will be given to empirical research which can inform foreign language teaching practice. The event will combine plenary addresses, roundtable discussions, paper sessions in thematic strands, and a poster session.
Second call for papers
There are still a few presentation slots available. Proposals are invited for high-quality, original 20-minute oral presentations and posters that broadly fall within the following themes and topics:
A. language instruction, acquisition and learning, including CLIL, bilingual education, and TLA;
B. resources and technology, including native- and non-native corpus-based materials;
C. language assessment and program evaluation;
D. special education, including sign language and teaching students with a visual impairment.
Paper submission:
Please send two copies of an abstract of no more than 300 words (excluding references), in .rtf format, as e-mail attachments to Michal.Paradowski(at)uw.edu.pl by April 30, 2010. The e-mail should use the subject header “LTIME submission”, your last name, the language of your submission, the letter of your chosen thematic strand, and whether you intend to present a paper or poster

A progesterone injection can help breast cancer patients
The research related to this discovery and prescription was carried out by Dr. Rajendra Badwe, Director, Tata Memorial Hospital. The research has a 18 year history. Dr. Badwe observed that women who were operated in the second half of their menstrual cycle had a better outcome.
On 12th December 2009, Dr. Badwe presented his recent research paper that describes the validation of the hypothesis. The study was conducted on more than 1000 women.

Science
A fundamental hypothesis of science is that appearances are deceptive adn that there is a way of looking at or interpreting or organising the evidence that will reveal superficially disconnected ad diverse phenomena to be manifestations of a more fundamental and relatively simple structure.
A theory is the way we perceive "facts,' and we cannot perceive "facts" without a theory. - Milton Friedman in Essays Positive Economics.
What Friedman means by the statement "A theory is the way we perceive "facts,' and we cannot perceive "facts" without a theory." is that unless a theory is developed by some scientists, many cannot perceive the facts appropriately. Only when a theory was proposed and empirically found to be acceptable, proper perception of the facts takes places.

What is Theory?
The purpose of any theory in an subject is to facilitate deduction of logical propositions that help us to predict the phenomenon related to the theory. Theories keep changing on the basis of research results. Sutton and Staw have pointed out that references, data, lists of variables or constructs, diagrams, and hypotheses are not theory. They point out that "theory is the answer to queries of why. Theory is about the connections among phenomena, a story about why acts, events, structure, and thoughts occur. Theory emphasizes the nature of causal relationships, identifying what comes first as well as the timing of such events. Strong theory in our view, delves into the underlying processes so as to understand the systematic reasons for a particular occurrence or non-occurrence.

Descriptive Accuracy and Analytical Relevance in Theory Building
Milton Friedman says "ideal types" in the abstract models developed by economists have been regarded by some as strictly descriptive categories intended to correspond directly and fully to entities in the real world. Economists take the real world as it is, and construct "ideal types" to analyse it. Analysis means judgment regarding future outcomes. Marshall's perfect competition is an engine to analyse say, price formation in real world markets. An "ideal type" used in the model is not a photographic reproduction. Scientists have to focus on analytical relevance in theory building.

28.5.2009 - Talcott Parsons - Theory
Theory according to one view, would consist only in generalisation from known facts, in the sense of what general statements the know body of fact would justify. Development of theory would consist entirely in the process of of modification of these general statements to take account of new discoveries of fact. The process of discovery of fact is held to be essentially independent of the existing body of "theory". Discovery of facts is the result of some such impulse as "idle curiosity.
Against the above view may be set another. Theory most generally defined as a body of logically interrelated "general concepts" of empirical reference - in not only a dependent but an independent variable in the development of science. A theory to be sound must fit the facts but it does not follow that the facts alone, discovered independently of theory, determine what the theory is to be. Also one cannot say theory is not a factor in determining what facts will be discovered, what is to be the direction of interest of scientific investigation.
