How and Why ‘Theory’ Is Often Misunderstood in Information Systems Literature
2019
IS theory accounts have increased our understanding of scientific theories. However, many influential theory accounts in Information Systems (IS) are influenced by the Received View of scientific theory (RV), which flourished in the philosophy of science around 1930-1969. The RV has been widely rejected in the philosophy of science, as the theory ignored much of the actual scientific context, and it mischaracterized several important characteristics of scientific research and theories. Although RV ideas were crafted for philosophers’ philosophical purposes, and not for scientists’ use, several IS scholars seem to believe that some of the RV theses represent actual (good or strong) scientifi…

A case-control study on risk factors for nuclear, cortical and posterior subcapsular cataract: The Casteldaccia Eye Study
2005
Purpose: To investigate risk factors for nuclear, cortical and posterior subcapsular age-related cataract. Methods: A case-control study was carried out on subjects aged 40 years and older, living in Casteldaccia, Sicily. Twenty-seven potential risk factors were investigated. Nuclear, cortical and posterior subcapsular opacities of the lens were classified according to the Lens Opacities Classification System II. Subjects with advanced lens opacities represented the cases, while an identical number of subjects without or with early cataract, matched for sex and age, were recruited as controls from within the same population. Results: Univariate analysis showed that myopia and iris atrophy w…
Erityisopettajien rooliristiriidat ja rooliepäselvyydet perusopetuksen vaativan erityisen tuen kontekstissa
2017
Tutkimuksen tavoitteena oli selvittää, millaisissa tilanteissa vaativan erityisen tuen piirissä työskentelevät erityisopettajat kokevat rooliristiriitoja ja rooliepäselvyyttä. Aihe on merkityksellinen, koska rooliristiriitojen ja rooliepäselvyyden on tutkittu aiheuttavan työmotivaation ja työssäjaksamisen heikkenemistä. Erityisopettajan rooliin liittyvien haasteiden ymmärtämisestä voi myös olla hyötyä koulujen toimintakulttuurin kehittämisessä. Tutkittavina oli 21 perusopetuksen vaativan erityisen tuen piirissä työskentelevän opettajan tuottama aineisto. Se koostui täydennyskoulutusta varten syksyllä 2012 kirjoitetuista ennakkotehtävistä, jotka analysoitiin teoriaohjaavalla sisällönanalyysi…
Irish-Italian Studies-New Perspectives on Cultural Mobility and Permeability
2018
The volume gives new insights into aspects of Irish-Italian Cultural Studies, while offering a new cultural perspective offered by academics from different countries as well as a homage to William Butler Yeats on the 150th anniversary of his birth. Keywords: Ireland/Italy relations; literature; liminality, Irish culture and identity; translation studies. The position of Ireland – historical, as well as geographical and cultural – and the moments of change through which Ireland has passed and is passing have made it a liminal space. The legacy of the past is intersecting with the present. Traditions are questioned and future outcomes are thrown into doubt. Furthermore, physical and social mo…
Mehr als Musik: Die sieben Dimensionen des Eurovision Song Contests
2008
"Der Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) ist der weltweit größte internationale Wettbewerb für populäre Musik und das erfolgreichste Fernsehunterhaltungsprogramm in Europa. Obwohl der ESC ursprünglich das Ziel verfolgte, die Entstehung neuer Lieder zu fördern, handelte es sich doch stets um ein von den Fernsehanstalten inszeniertes Medienereignis, das erst nachrangig musikökonomischen Zwecken dient. Für das Publikum ist der ESC auf Grund seiner Periodizität, seiner spezifischen Programmstruktur und nicht zuletzt des Zugehörigkeitsgefühls der Zuschauer, das auf Schemata nationaler und kultureller Identifikation beruht, zu einem hochgradig ritualisierten Medienereignis geworden. Seine Bedeutung geh…

Demystifying the Influential IS Legends of Positivism
2018
Positivism has been used to establish a standard that Information Systems (IS) research must meet to be scientific. According to such positivistic beliefs in IS, scientific research should: 1) be generalizable, 2) focus on stable independent variables, 3) have certain ontological assumptions, and 4) use statistical or quantitative methods rather than qualitative methods. We argue that logical positivist philosophers required none of these. On the contrary, logical positivist philosophers regarded philosophizing in general and ontological considerations in particular as nonsense. Moreover, the positivists’ preferred empirical research method was not a survey, but rather a qualitative observa…
Demystifying the Influential IS Legends of Positivism : Response to Lee’s Commentary
2020
We respond to Lee’s (forthcoming) commentary on our article “Demystifying the Influential IS Legends of Positivism” (Siponen & Tsohou [S&T], 2018). Lee offers four arguments against our analyses and conclusions in S&T (2018). First, because logical positivism (LP) has been discredited, he contends it cannot be used as a normative standard in IS. We clarify that our conclusions in S&T (2018) point to (1) the lack of justification for certain IS beliefs, and (2) a misunderstanding rather than legitimacy of LP as a philosophy of science. Second, Lee argues that IS researchers characterizing positivism never said they were following the tenets of LP. We provide evidence to show some influential…
