Application Of Structure Theory Research Articles

Structural theory as a research language for open complex systems, including social ones

The application of structural theory allows to see the same universal construction, called a “model,” applicable to a broad class of modeling areas. Everything in the world is a model in this theory: an agent, a complex of agents, and a complex of complexes. We can say that the widely known formula: “One in all and all in One” is true in this area, as well as the well-known aphorism of H. Poincare: “Mathematics is the art of calling different things by the same name.” The application of geometric theory is the consideration of morphisms of base sets and the assigning invariants that allow a complex system to remain under such morphisms. The proposed language for the complex systems behavior makes it possible to draw several interesting conclusions about the nature of complex open systems, simply due to its means of distinguishing entities. A complex system must sacrifice a part of its power (the most expensive and liquid that it has) to preserve its laws of life (maintain its structure and set of axioms). Otherwise, it will not be able to remain itself. It is interesting to remember that many religions teach that this world stands on the sacrifice.

The application of structural theory in the design of the upholstery fabrics furnishings using the folklore

The constructivist theory is one of the most modern philosophical trends that stand in its philosophy far from the sensory orientation of phenomena. The constructivist theory in all its models goes back to the philosophy of structural thought, which revolves around an intellectual approach that deals with the formation of information and integrates technology and technology, encompassing multiple areas within a holistic view of the world and the nature of things.The problem of research is to arrive at contemporary three-dimensional designs of the printing surfaces of the furniture fabrics by devising them from the structural direction. The problem of research is determined by two questions:

Application of structuration theory in the context of ICT: the case of DESH microfinance in Bangladesh

This paper is an exploratory nature of how to adapt structuration theory in the context of information and communication technology (ICT) as used in non-governmental organisation (NGO) in Bangladesh. Structuration theory, developed by Anthony Giddens in 1984, has been used to explain organisational structures with Giddens arguing that structure and human interactions are mutually interdependent. However the main aim of the paper is to evaluate the application of structuration theory in the context of ICT in the microfinance sector of Bangladesh. The case study has been conducted on a leading microfinance institution in Bangladesh (given the pseudonym of DESH). The paper finds that the theory provides a well organised framework to identify organisational and social issues and how they are interconnected to technology. The paper also provides suggestions how technology can be more meaningful to the practitioners.

Innovation system problems: Causal configurations of innovation failure

Innovation systems provide an approach to understanding, and managing, the innovation process. The application of structural theory from the sectoral innovations systems literature and the functional theory from technological systems literature to a series of projects provides an opportunity to explore how weaknesses in the innovation system relate to innovation failure. Findings from fuzzy set qualitative comparative analysis of multiple cases indicate that the weaknesses of the innovation system are recurrent across cases, and therefore, amenable to policy or management intervention to improve innovation outcomes. The weaknesses in structural theory conditions are more consistent than the weaknesses in technological theory conditions.

A distributed model of the structuration of information technology in organizations

Purpose– The purpose of this paper is to develop a distributed model of structuration of information technology (IT) in organizations to complement the collective that dominates the application of structuration theory to organizational phenomenon.Design/methodology/approach– This paper draws on secondary qualitative data to specify how differences among people's practices with and around IT determine the effect of IT in organizations.Findings– The paper provides an analytical framework to extend the structuration theory of IT in organizations that can also explain differences among people's use of IT and track their consequences for the effect of IT in organizations.Research limitations/implications– This paper extends the theory of the structuration of IT so that it can take into account the effect of the different ways in which people use IT at work.Practical implications– This paper underscores the increase adaptability that managers can build during IT implementation by taking advantage of the differences among people's appropriation of IT, instead of attempting to make people use IT in similar ways.Originality/value– The paper introduces the role of variation among people's practices into research on the structuration of IT on organizations. This research, which is one of the dominant approaches to the effect of IT in organizations, assumes that people share the same practices with and around IT and is ill suited to explain the consequences of variation among people's use of IT at work.

A Correlation of Some Terms Used in Theoretical Inorganic and Organic Chemistry

On the momentous occasion, in 1834, of the reading of Dumas' paper on substitution before the Academy of Sciences at Paris, the opening guns were fired in a long and bitter struggle between Berzelius, on the one hand, and the French school, headed by Laurent and Dumas, on the other. This extended argument marked the parting of the ways for inorganic and organic chemistry. Inorganic chemistry continued to use and to develop the electrochemical theory; organic chemists, however, abandoned the electrochemical theory almost entirely and contented themselves with the development and application of structural theory. There is admittedly some basis for this divorce of inorganic and organic chemistry. Whereas a great many of the reactions encountered in inorganic chemistry are ionic in character, relatively few organic molecules are ionized in solution. In organic reactions ions are postulated as existing, if at all, only as unstable and transient intermediates. With the development of the modern electronic theory, however, and its application to organic chemistry, it has become apparent that this separation is more superficial than real. Although organic molecules are not ordinarily ionized, nevertheless they are thought to be activated by the development, either permanently or incipiently, of positive and negative centers within the molecule, and a vast majority of organic reactions are initiated by the attack of the positive center of one molecule upon the negative center of another. Consequently, similar electrochemical concepts actually underlie both theoretical inorganic and organic chemistry. As a result of the separate development of these two divisions, however, the science has become cluttered with a dual system of nomenclature so that two completely unrelated, if not conflicting, sets of terms are often employed to describe similar or identical theoretical concepts or principles. The result is that the student of organic chemistry is compelled to learn a completely new and unfamiliar set of names for an old and familiar set of ideas. It is the purpose of this paper to correlate certain similar concepts of in-
