A Paradigm Interpreting the City and the Analytic Network Process for the Management of Urban Transformations
2018
When urban and environmental transformations occur in areas where the equilibrium between nature and culture is complex and fragile, public ad-ministrations could decide to induce private investments using several tools, such as financial contributions to those projects of refurbishment that better re-spect the purpose of improving the environmental quality and of preserving the local architecture. Multicriteria models may support public decision process re-garding this issue, but it is essential to adopt a scientific paradigm that provides a major theoretical reference. This study proposes the development of a net-work model based on the scientific paradigm by Rizzo and the Analytic Net-wo…
Analysis of Socio-Spatial Differences in Germany for the Definition of Online Milieus
2017
This research paper is part of a research project that analyses the influence of socioeconomic variables on the usage of online social networks to provide quality ensured social media supported business transactions. The research in this paper contains the analysing of the online milieu groups from the Responsibility-Driven Individuals and the Digital Vanguards, which were defined 2012 as milieu groups for online users in Germany. Both target groups are part of the in Germany well-established approach of lifeworlds and milieus for the differentiation of groups in the society. With such a distinguishing of customer groups, the communication with agents in social media communication will be m…
Fotballklubbers forankring og betydning i det norske samfunn : en casestudie av Viking fotballklubb
2008
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap- Universitetet i Agder 2008 Fotballklubbers lokale forankring og betydning vil ses nærmere på gjennom teoretisk refleksjon og empirisk observasjon der Viking FK er case. Teorien som anvendes er Luhmanns systemteori og det som danner det empiriske materialet er dokumenter og kvalitative intervjuer. Ifølge Luhmann (2000a) er sosiale fenomen, som eksemplifisert ved Viking FK i denne avhandlingen, sosiale system som danner seg selv gjennom å skille seg fra omverden. Skille mellom systemet selv og dets omverden danner en unik betraktning av seg selv som noe forskjellig fra omverden. Det utgjør systemets realitetsforståelse, dets mening som uttrykkes gjennom forve…
Is translation an autopoietic system?
2010
Translation is analyzed from the standpoint of its systemic properties. Translation is shown to have the capacity to observe itself and its difference from the environment. Observation being a major autopoietic factor, translation may be considered as an autopoietic system. Doubts about this hypothesis arise because of the peculiarities of communicative properties of translation. Translation plays the role of the mediating party in complex translation communication events and its communicative behavior is ‘defective’ in that translation does not act upon source messages because its communicative function is passing messages on to the target party. As a system, translation may be studied aga…
The contribution of public relations to organisational decision making and autopoiesis of organisations : the perspective of the Luhmannian social sy…
2018
This doctoral dissertation investigates the contribution of public relations professionals to organisational decision-making processes and autopoiesis of organisations. The research approach utilises Niklas Luhmann’s functional method approach, regarded as an observational tool to create a distinction between problems and solutions. The research progresses through three parts: Part 1, the preliminary empirical work; Part 2, insights gained from academic articles and reports, and Part 3, empirical work on the perceptions of professionals. This qualitative, content-oriented, interpretive research approach concludes that public relations (PR) is a responsive, managing and adapting function in …
Decentralization and heterogeneity in complex adaptative systems
2015
Purpose – Following a bacterial-based modeling approach, the authors want to model and analyze the impact of both decentralization and heterogeneity on group behavior and collective learning. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach – Inspired by bacterial conjugation, the authors have defined an artificial society in which agents’ strategies adapt to changes in resources location, allowing migration, and survival in a dynamic sugarscape-like scenario. To study the impact of these variables the authors have simulated a scenario in which resources are limited and localized. The authors also have defined three constraints in genetic information processing (inhibiti…
Engagement by lamination of autopoietic concentric interaction systems in games : a study of football and Pokémon GO
2018
The aim of this paper is to rethink games and game design within the theory of self-producing interaction systems. With this research, I seek to identify several dynamics of play and engagement elicited by games that, by extension, can serve as game design parameters. The research is oriented toward an analysis of football (soccer) and Pokémon GO within the context of Niklas Luhmann’s (2002/2012) theoretical framework of autopoiesis (i.e., self-producing interaction systems). The theoretical discussion of play situations in the two games reveals five concentric interaction systems through which games motivate play and engagement. These game dynamics are continuing simultaneous communication…
Pašvaldība kā pašregulējoša sistēma
2016
Maģistra darba nosaukums ir “Pašvaldība kā pašregulējoša sistēma”. Darba mērķis ir izpētīt, vai Latvijas pašvaldības pēc to darbības, ir uzskatāmas par pašregulējošām sistēmām. Dotā darba uzdevumi: sniegt teorētisko bāzi par pašregulējošu sistēmu; meklēt pazīmes, kuras raksturo sociālo vidi caur šo sistēmu; noteikt kritērijus, pēc kuriem tiks veikta Jūrmalas, Daugavpils un Ventspils pilsētu pašvaldību gadījumu analīze, tā parādot, kā izvēlētie kritēriji izpaužas šo pašvaldību gadījumā. Rezultāti norāda uz to, ka pašvaldības var uzskatīt par pašregulējošām sistēmām. Atslēgas vārdi: Latvijas pašvaldības, pašregulējoša sistēma (autopoiesis)
Hacia una metodología del análisis crítico del discurso desde la enacción aplicada al género y la traducción: Una visión liminar en Bridget Jones. Ma…
2023
En esta investigación se abordan los presupuestos biológico-cognitivos de la Enacción y se refieren a un sistema lingüístico-perceptivo mediante la Gramática Liminar (GL) y el Análisis Crítico del Discurso (ACD) aplicado al estudio enactivo entre Bridget Jones. Mad about The Boy (2013) y Bridget Jones. Loca por él, de H. Fielding. Analizamos cómo la enacción sexista resulta de la forma sistémica de comunicarnos, incardinada en el cuerpo como matriz cognitiva biológica-cultural, donde el lenguaje actúa como bucle de retroalimentación en perpetua intratraducción entre el ser/mundo y viceversa, y se configura en lenguas de cuya intertraducción depende el grado de connotación sexista. This rese…
