Doctors often use theory to inform medical practice. The current bio-psycho-social model of health may be advanced still further with theoretical rigour. Traditional fields of thermodynamics and newer fields of non-linear dynamics including chaos theory and complex systems science can inform our understanding of the complexity of human health, illness and disease. Commonly accepted aspects of h...

We suggest an approach focused on community strengths and resources that stresses the role of measures of social interaction variables and the utilization of analytic strateg...
متن کاملEmpiricism in Ecological Economics: a Perspective from Complex Systems Theory
Economies are open complex adaptive systems far from thermodynamic equilibrium, and neo-classical environmental economics seems not to be the best way to describe the behaviour of such systems. Standard econometric analysis (i.e. time series) takes a deterministic and predictive approach, which encourages the search for predictive policy to ‘correct’ environmental problems. Rather, it seems tha...
متن کاملThe web from a complex adaptive systems perspective
The web continues to grow at a phenomenal rate, and the amount of information on the web is overwhelming. Finding the relevant information remains a big challenge. Due to its wide distribution, its openness and high dynamics, the web is a complex system, for which we have to imagine mechanisms of content maintaining, filtering and organizing that are able to deal with its evolving dynamics and ...
متن کاملResearch-Oriented Perspective on Information Management
The technology that has emerged to facilitate the evolution {rom data 'processing into information processing calls for a concomitment transformation in management perspective, from that of the management of information systems to one of information resource management (IRM). Not only the nature of the technology, but also its widespread dispersion throughout the organization, imply new conside...
