| Research Abstract |
Our sociological investigations are categorized in two groups. One is a research on 'standardiation' process in clinical chemistry and another is on the relationship between clinical practice and technology in various clinical fields. For the former we have investigated both theoretical and empirical aspects. The case study was carreid out on the 'standardization' of HbAlc in clinical chemistry. The study was based on bibliometrical analysis and interviews with experts. The latter research was carried out on 6 different fields, including psychological clinics, religeous medical institutes, self-help associations and medical clinics. The study showed various possibilities of shaping forms of clinical technologies in different clinical fields.
