Niklas Luhmann is recognised as a major social theorist, and his treatise on the sociology of law classic text. For Luhmann, provides framework state, lawyers are main human resource for legal theory most suitable base from which to theorize nature society. He explores concept in light general systems, showing important part plays resolving fundamental problems society may face. then goes discuss detail how modern 'positive' – opposed ‘natural’ comes fulfil this function. The work whole not...
Drawing on the Marxist, French structuralist and American pragmatist traditions, this is a lively accessible introduction to sociology of knowledge.

Urban wet-weather discharges from combined sewer overflows (CSO) and stormwater outlets (SWO) are a potential pathway for micropollutants (trace contaminants) to surface waters, posing threat the environment possible water reuse applications. Despite large efforts monitor in last decade, gained information is still limited scattered. In metastudy we performed data-driven analysis of measurements collected at 77 sites (683 events, 297 detected micropollutants) over decade investigate which...
The reason why agency/structure and micro/macro debates remain unresolved is the bad essentialist habit of treating such pairs as opposite natural kinds. Once variation allowed, agency structure, or micro macro, are temporary poles bracketing a continuum, with social entities moving along this continuum over time. Explaining these transformations from into vice versa challenge for explanatory theory. This met by switching to constructivist level second-order observing. Then, structure become...
For a long time people have questioned what the "best" sewer system is for limiting pollution load released into receiving waters. In this paper traditional separate and combined systems are compared using balance. The investigation based on measured concentration data range of pollutant parameters in from new database "ATV-DVWK Datenpool 2001". approach also accounted wastewater treatment plant outflow which contributes to total considerably. spite number neglected effects, results show...
There are two forms of deconstruction. Radical DECONSTRUCTION is rare. It a sign deep crisis and extraordinary skepticism among intellectual workers facing high uncertainty. Moderate deconstruction, however, occurs wherever conflicts over knowledge built into the competitive adversarial structure social fields. We illustrate dynamics moderate deconstruction for specific cases: making facts in science building cases law. strategies common to both law which generalize untrustworthiness thus...
In the sociology of racial prejudice, two major paradigms can be distinguished: Cultural-environmental and social class or conflict paradigms. On basis Durkheimian theory, it is hypothesized that cultural-environmental variables (education, knowledge) offer stronger more consistent explanations prejudice than status (self-perceived position, occupational prestige, income). To test this hypothesis, National Opinion Research Center (NORC) data are analyzed. Findings corroborate hypothesis...
Over the past two decades, Niklas Luhmann has elaborated a general functionalist theory of social systems that continues program grand tradition in to develop theories universal range and applicability. But while current discussions focus on reinterpreting, reconstructing, synthesizing classics, Luhmann's work is based recent developments theory, cybernetics, biological epistemology, information theory-to name just few. At present, only can claim introduce new paradigm field. Utilization...
Combined Sewer Overflows (CSO) of 671 Functional Urban Areas (FUAs) throughout the European Union + UK (EU28), representing almost half EU28 population. CSO loads can be quantified at local scale through measurements, or with calibrated hydrological models. However, they are difficult to quantify a large (e.g. regional national), due lack data, and models used cannot applied in absence knowledge combined sewer (CS) network. This paper presents 6-parameter lumped model simulate CS network its...

In current science studies, there are only few systematic efforts at explaining how different scientific specialties change over time. Such viewed here as organizations in which workers deal with various degrees of task uncertainty and mutual dependence. The sociological theory suggests that is generally triggered by competition, but types depend on the social organization status groups. Some fields through permanent discoveries, some specialization cumulation, yet others cognitive...
Since sociology's titular founding (Comte, 1830-1842), discourse on the nature of sociology as a science has been major preoccupation. On one side longstanding debate are those who openly admire and seek to emulate more mature sciences, especially physics. In this tradition stands Auguste Comte's (1830-1842) effort create social physics, although it is Popper's (1959) portrayal logic scientific discovery that had most impact how sociologists view their enterprise. For in other's (e.g.,...
Abstract In an extensive monitoring programme, event mean concentrations of 12 heavy metals, 16 polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH), nine pesticides/biocides, three pharmaceuticals, benzotriazoles, acesulfame, and DEHP (di-(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate) were measured at 10 combined sewer overflow (CSO) facilities throughout Bavaria, Germany, for more than 110 events. A harmonised approach with large volume samplers was used to produce volume-proportional composite samples. wide range durations...
