Principles of Disease Surveillance01:26

Principles of Disease Surveillance

178
Disease surveillance is the systematic collection, analysis, and interpretation of health data essential to the planning, implementation, and evaluation of public health practice. This process integrates data dissemination to entities responsible for preventing and controlling disease, injury, and disability. Surveillance systems provide crucial information for action, helping public health authorities make informed decisions to manage and prevent outbreaks, ensure public safety, optimize...

Causality in Epidemiology01:21

Causality in Epidemiology

765
Causality or causation is a fundamental concept in epidemiology, vital for understanding the relationships between various factors and health outcomes. Despite its importance, there's no single, universally accepted definition of causality within the discipline. Drawing from a systematic review, causality in epidemiology encompasses several definitions, including production, necessary and sufficient, sufficient-component, counterfactual, and probabilistic models. Each has its strengths and...

At the different levels of the healthcare system, we see varying methods of healthcare used. These methods include managed care systems, case management, and primary healthcare.
Managed Care System:
The managed care system is designed to control the cost while maintaining the quality of care. The patient's care from admission to discharge is planned by the primary care provider or the case manager, also known as the gatekeeper. In a managed care system, the number of care providers is...

Social Exchange Theory02:06

Social Exchange Theory

35.3K
We have discussed why we form relationships, what attracts us to others, and different types of love. But what determines whether we are satisfied with and stay in a relationship? One theory that provides an explanation is social exchange theory. According to social exchange theory, we act as naïve economists in keeping a tally of the ratio of costs and benefits of forming and maintaining a relationship with others (Rusbult & Van Lange, 2003).

Pareto Chart00:52

Pareto Chart

7.0K
A Pareto chart is a bar graph or a combination of both line and bar graphs. The bar lengths represent the individual values or the frequency, while the lines represent the cumulative total values. In this chart, the longest bars are arranged on the left and the shortest bars on the right, which makes it easier to read and interpret the data. It can also be called a Pareto diagram or Pareto analysis.
The Pareto chart is named after the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who described the Pareto...

Area of Science:

  • Social Sciences
  • Education Policy
  • Labor Studies

Background:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic necessitated a rapid shift to online operations and remote work in higher education globally.
  • University responses to the pandemic, including campus closures and lockdowns, created unprecedented labor challenges for academic faculty.
  • The UK higher education sector experienced significant operational and structural changes due to the pandemic.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the UK higher education sector.
  • To examine how the pandemic accelerated existing trends within universities, particularly neoliberalization and corporate managerialism.
  • To investigate the effects of the pandemic on academic work, focusing on precarization and work-based inequities.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative analysis of 12 months of reporting from the academic trade press.
  • Focus on articles published in *Times Higher Education* concerning the pandemic's effects on UK universities.
  • Content analysis to identify key themes related to university operations, management, and academic labor.

Main Results:

  • The pandemic intensified the neoliberalization of universities, increasing market-oriented practices and competition.
  • Corporate managerialism within UK universities was amplified, with a focus on efficiency and performance metrics.
  • Academic work became more precarious, with increased workload, job insecurity, and exacerbated inequalities among faculty.

Conclusions:

  • The COVID-19 pandemic acted as a catalyst, accelerating pre-existing trends of neoliberalization and managerialism in UK higher education.
  • The shift to remote work and online platforms highlighted and worsened existing labor inequities and job precarity for academic staff.
  • Urgent attention is needed to address the structural changes and their impact on the academic profession and the future of higher education.
