Das kybernetische ZeitalterSmit, Jan Gerhard 28 January 2011 (has links)
Es gibt kaum etwas, worauf unsere Zivilisation stolzer ist als auf die Eindämmung von Säuglingssterblichkeit, Infektionen und Seuchen. Die modernen medizinischen Bemühungen scheinen für das Leben des einzelnen ein Segen zu sein. Beziehen wir größere Zeiträume ein, so müssen wir feststellen, daß auf die Dauer als einziges Resultat dieser Bemühungen das übrigbleibt, was wir zur Zeit als den größten Schock dieses Jahrhunderts erleben: das explosionsartige Anwachsen der Menschheit. Mit den damit zusammenhängenden Problemen beschäftigen sich mehr oder weniger alle Kapitel dieses Buches. (aus dem Text)

Organizačně-kybernetický přístup k mezinárodním institucím / The Organizational-Cybernetic Approach to International InstitutionsParízek, Michal January 2013 (has links)
The Organizational-Cybernetic Approach to International Institutions Michal Parízek Abstract of the dissertation One of the key tasks of the institutionalist research in international relations should be to explore how the functioning of international institutions can be enhanced through alterations of their design, where design is understood as the only factor that can have a direct causal effect on the institutions' functioning and that, at the same time, is at least in principle amenable to conscious manipulation. The task of this dissertation is to elaborate on whether this can be at all done and, if yes, how exactly and under what conditions. To deal with these problems, I present what is best labelled as the organizational-cybernetic approach, a theoretical and conceptual framework based on insights from the field of organizational cybernetics. Building on the organizational-cybernetic framework, I outline the concept of information transmission capacity as the right dependent variable for the study of how design impacts on functioning of institutions. Subsequently I present the viable system model, an organizational- cybernetic model that identifies on a general level all the key information channels necessary for viability of any governance scheme. Using this approach, we can proceed in the...

.-¨-RNDR ¨M3, 4S (“1”) 0F UR^ AVATAR G!RLS*-¨-.; : Virtual Performance Avatar ExperienceDahlén, Marie January 2023 (has links)
This thesis is aimed at investigating virtual embodiment and how it can affect a performer's experience of; and relationship to the physical body. With this auto ethnographic case study I hope to shed some light on the ways virtual reality technology enables critical experiences and what effects these experiences could have, through my own personal journey. The study was conducted in the setting of my home using a Pico 4 VR head mounted display and HTC vive full body tracking. The project used for the case study was an audiovisual pole dance performance that was performed on the platform Neos VR and streamed to Studio 44 in Stockholm. The research is rooted in the artistic field but draws knowledge from psychological and social research on VR as a cognitive and embodied technology. The research methods used to gather and analyse the research material were visual research, phenomenology and deep listening. The data collection consisted of visual and text based data. On the visual data I applied thematic analysis, coding and categorising of the text based data and analysing hyper reflections with a phenomenological approach. I found that the experience of virtual embodiment did change my relationship to my own body in a positive way by feeling more grounded and accepting. I was less anxious about performing and felt more confident in myself. Because of the entanglement of the study it was not possible to solely contribute the outcomes of the effect to virtual avatar embodiment in itself. It did however demonstrate how these VR technologies could be used to enable norm critical experiences by the use of norm critical design applied to avatars challenging beauty ideals and societal norms of performativity. My virtual embodiment and its effects on me can give a unique insight that would benefit developers and users active in these platforms as well as for personal introspection and self development. The study serves as a good base to build future research on and I intend to further elaborate on the extensive research data that was gathered.

Implementing strategic decisions. The implementation of capital investment projects in the U. K. manufacturing industry.Falshaw, James R. January 1991 (has links)
This thesis reports an exploratory, quantitative study into the
implementation of strategic. decisions. Implementation was viewed as a
discontinuous organisational activity involving strategic change. The
organisational vehicle of change is seen as "the project" and the
specific unit of analysis adopted is the capital investment project.
Manufacturing organisations were studied because these were shown to
most frequently undertake such projects. '
Adopting a theoretical perspective derived from systems theory
and cybernetics a model of implementation was developed which recognises
two dimensions of implementation success (modes of organisational
change) to be contingent upon a dimension of project uncertainty
and two dimensions of information. From this model ten hypotheses were
developed.
Data on 45 projects was collected from a diversity of manufacturing
companies. This was obtained using a structured questionnaire
instrument administered to a single informant during a retrospective
personal interview. Initially the data was analysed using principal
components factor analysis to determine the factorial compositions and
reliabilities of scales measuring theoretical constructs. Subsequently,
causal modelling and stepwise regression techniques were employed
to test the hypotheses.
Analysis demonstrated that the essentially structural approach
to implementation taken in the study adequately explained many of the
observed associations between constructs. Hypothesised associations
between organisational structure and implementation success could not,
generally, be supported. Finally, the theoretical model adopted was
not able to account for a number of empirically observed associations.
These associations were explicable in terms of a behavioural or social
dimension. The wider implications of the study are also discussed. / Economic and Social Research Council

Doelbewuste gebruik van die element van onsekerheid van die terapeut in gesinsterapieVan der Westhuizen, Hedwig Ruth 30 November 2003 (has links)
This is a constructivistic, qualitative single case study of the reflections of a social work post-graduate student in a practical family therapy training situation, to illustrate the integration of person centered and systemic family therapy theory. The element of uncertainty of the therapist, is the focus of this study.
The element of uncertainty, being a part of both the therapist and the therapeutic process, especially if challenged to make paradigm shifts and master new theory and skills, is identified, described, redefined and contructively applied.
The focus is to highlight the use of the reframed element of uncertainty in empowering the therapist in the therapeutic process of family therapy. It is outlined how uncertainty can also be of value to empower the therapist to evolve an own unique therapeutic style. / Social work / M.A. (Geestesgesondheid)

Sports coaching as an ecology of ideasMuller, Gene 01 1900 (has links)
In this study an ecosystematic approach to sports coaching is forwarded. This approach is illustrated using the analogy of an ecology of ideas. Ideas informing the life span of a coach within an elite team are explored. The researcher engaged four subjects in conversations the life span of a coach in an elite team. these conversations are viewed as co-constructions of realities. The coach abides within a team for a limited time. he or she enters an existing ecology of ideas, which can contribute to, or detract from, the efficacy of the coach in a team. This ecology of ideas evolves as aold meanings shift and new meanings emerge. These menings are explored in this disertation. An awareness of the ecology of ideas within a team can inform the coach to perturb the ecology of ideas in a direction that is mutually qualified as successful / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical psychology)

Chroniese moegheidsindroom : 'n ekosistemiese perspektiefMorgan, Leona 06 1900 (has links)
Hierdie studie is 'n kwalitatiewe ekosistemiese ondersoek van die fenomeen Chroniese Moegheidsindroom (CMS) . Die paradigmaverskuiwing vanaf die Cartesiaans-Newtoniaanse epistemologie na die kubernetiese epistemologie, het 'n aantal belangrike implikasies vir die bestudering en konseptualisering van CMS, soos uiteengesit in hierdie studie.
'n Bespreking van die konseptualisering en behandeling van CMS
vanuit die tradisionele, reduksionistiese navorsing word verskaf.
Die aannames van twee-orde kubernetika en sosiale konstruksionisme,
is bespreek en toegepas op die beskrywing van twee sisteme waarin
CMS voorkom. Die navorsingsmetodologie van die studie is gegenereer
op grand van die genoemde teoretiese aannames. Die implikasies van die toepassing van die ekosistemiese epistemologie vir die konseptualisering van CMS word uitgewys. Die herkonseptualisering van CMS as 'n transisieproses word bespreek en riglyne vir verdere navorsing en psigoterapie word aangedui. Die huidige studie bied 'n beskrywing van die unieke betekenisse en oplossings wat gesinne genereer tydens die veranderings wat CMS vergesel. / The present study is a qualitative ecosystemic exploration of the phenomenon known as chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS). The paradigm shift from the Newtonian epistemology to the epistemology of cybernetics, has important implication for research and the conceptualisation of CFS, as indicated in the study. The traditional, reductionist conceptualisation of CFS in research and treatment methods, is discussed. The suppositions of second order cybernetics and social constructionism, are discussed and applied in the description of two systems where CFS occurs. The research methodology of the present study is generated from the theoretical suppositions.
Die implications of the use of the ecosystemic epistemology for
the conceptualisation of CFS are indicated. The re-conceptualisation
of CFS as a transition process is discussed and guidelines are
given for future research and psychotherapy. The present study is
a description of the unique meanings and solutions that the families generated during the changes that accompany CFS. / Psychology / M.A. (Kliniese Sielkunde)

Hypnotic analgesia in obstetrics : an ecosystemic descriptionMarkman, Andrea 02 1900 (has links)
In this study, hypnotic analgesia in obstetrics is explained in terms of ecosystemic
thinking, as opposed to traditional conceptualisations of hypnosis. Five case studies
were used. Each case is described in detail, as well as the therapeutic rationale behind
each case, in order to present the reader with an understanding for the thinking behind
the doing of ecosystemic hypnotherapy. The study utilises a new paradigm approach
to research which is explained and is in keeping with ecosystemic epistemology. / Psychology / M.A. (Clinical Psychology)
