A New Semantic Similarity Based Measure For Assessing Research Publication’s Contribution
Impact depends on content, not interactions
In this paper, we present an approach for assessing the impact of a paper based on its full-text (Section 2). In this context, we use the term impact to refer to the research contribution to the discipline, which we believe is independent of the number of interactions in a…
Life, The Multiverse And Everything: An Introduction To The Ideas Of Humberto Maturana Interpreting Maturana
What science does
Science can only deal with structure-determined systems, with composite entities, i.e. with systems whose structures determine what will happen. [In proposing a generative mechanism as an explanation for the phenomenon to be explained science always proposes a…
Consensual behaviour (linguistic behaviour)
Consensual behaviour is behaviour between two systems as a result of living together. These would not have appeared had they not lived together. The behaviour is contingent upon their ontogenies. These behaviours can be described as interactions in the medium. This consensual…
Two types of structural changes; the structure specifies four domains
1- Changes where the organizational invariance is conserved 2- Changes without conservation of organisation A living system will last as long as its organisation is conserved and as long as it can be realised in its domain of existence. The structure of a system specifies the…
The medium; the path of drift is a path without any choices
Both the living system and the medium change in congruence with one another. They change their structure / shape so that they fit together in a drift. The concept of drift does not imply a chaotic situation because it is being determined on a moment- to-moment basis by the…
Structural determinism, main points
(1) Interactions in the medium only trigger structural changes of composite unities. (2) The structure of the system fully determines its interactions by specifying the variety of interactions it can undertake. (3) The structure of the system specifies what it will accept as an…
The Ego Trick (baggini, Julian)
Social life involves performance
Goffman appears to be either agnostic about, or indifferent to, the question of the reality of different selves. His interest was not essentially ontological, that is to say, concerned with the nature of being. It was primarily sociological, concerned with the nature of social…
Theories of Childhood, Second Edition (Carol Garhart Mooney)
Vygotsky versus Piaget on stretching children
Curriculum planning is perhaps the area most affected by Vygotsky’s theory. Unlike Piaget, who thought children’s cognitive learning was more internal than interactive, Vygotsky believed that interaction had a huge impact on cognitive development. Until Vygotsky’s work became…
