Issues related to compositional technique using the software environment Nodal are discussed. The particular focus in this paper is the use and characterisation of nodal networks. These networks are the generative engine of Nodal. Network configuration is explored by discussing the compositional process for the work “Network Study #1” that employs Nodal exclusively. Observations are made regard...

recent developments in leadership theory have shifted interest from earlier theories of charismatic leadership, that viewed the leader as extraordinary and the followers as dependent on the leader, to neo-charismatic theories and transformational leadership theory, which are concerned with the development and empowerment of the followers to function independently .because of the increasing noti...

Grounded theory has been evolving methodologically since Barney Glaser and Anselm Strauss first described it in the late 1960s. Initially underpinned by modernist philosophy, grounded theory has had recent turns including the adoption of both constructivism and postmodernism. This article explores ontological offerings of critical realism as a basis for transformational grounded theory informed...

The generative revolution in linguistics, started in the 1950s, culminated around 1980, when it was demonstrated that “rules of grammar” were not construction-specific, as had been believed since Antiquity, but following from the interactions of various constructionindependent principles. Perhaps most important among those principles were the locality principles, with such well-known highlights...

Abstract. For high-level synthesis transformational design is a promising design methodology which combines correctness by construction and interactive design. In this design methodology the design steps are behaviour preserving transformations of one design representation into another. Because of the importance of visualisation of design-information several kinds of graphs are used as design r...

Two major schools of grammar emerged in the 20th century, namely American Structural Grammar represented by L. Bloomfield and Transformational-Generative (TG Grammar) Chomsky. This paper compares differences between two from aspects background, stage development, philosophical psychological basis, view language, goals study, objects methods language acquisition theory other aspects. also Englis...

We draw upon transformational leadership theory to develop an instrument to measure transformational parenting for use with adolescents. First, potential items were generated that were developmentally appropriate and evidence for content validity was provided through the use of focus groups with parents and adolescents. We subsequently provide evidence for several aspects of construct validity ...
