The journey is still unfolding as this web site continues to evolve over time. Semiotics Encyclopedia Online - Welcome This reference website is freely usable for educational and personal use. It will provide in-depth articles written by experts in a great variety of disciplines bearing upon the ways in which organisms in general, and humans in particular, process information, discover or construct meaning, represent and share their knowledge, interact through the mediation of signs and symbols that change over time, and elaborate diverse cultures and systems of thought. It will offer articles documenting the historical development of semiotics while emphasizing that this variegated epistemological movement is still in the making. The Semiotics Encyclopedia Online will endeavor to bring into focus important advances in the sciences, which are bound to have an impact on our understanding of the issues which have been traditionally raised by semiotics.
Systems Analysis Interesting Web Sites List Systems Analysis Web Sites General Systems Analysis Links Systems and Systems Thinking Definition of a System Welcome to ARTstor Far Left Robert Henri La Reina Mora, 1906 Colby College Museum of Art Top Center Why I don’t agree that systems thinking is a ‘fallacy’ It’s been some time since I wrote my counterpoint to Bojan’s article on quitting GTD, and in that time I’ve come to know him a great deal better, to respect his opinion, and I consider him a friend. However when I read his latest post on the fallacy of systems thinkers I felt compelled to lay out the things I disagree with, and to defend what I see as my position as one of the ‘systems thinkers’ he refers to. Here’s the case for the defence: Exhibit A: The Review process ‘doesn’t work’
Anthony Judge Anthony Judge Anthony Judge, (Port Said, 21 January 1940) is mainly known for his career at the Union of International Associations (UIA), where he has been Director of Communications and Research, as well as Assistant Secretary-General.[1] He was responsible at the UIA for the development of interlinked databases and for publications based on those databases, mainly the Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential, the Yearbook of International Organizations, and the International Congress Calendar. Judge has also personally authored a collection of over 1,600 documents of relevance to governance and strategy-making. All these papers are freely available on his personal website Laetus in Praesens.[2] Now retired from the UIA, he is continuing his research within the context of an initiative called Union of Imaginable Associations.[3]
Fallacy of systems thinking and reversing the productivity game The problem with productivity enthusiasts these days, is that they will pay more attention to the hacks and tricks, than doing the actual work. We’ve created this “work masturbation” environment, where doing it better is more important than doing it at all. The problem lies with the saturation of the marketers in the field. Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential The Encyclopedia of World Problems and Human Potential is published by the Union of International Associations (UIA) under the direction of Anthony Judge. It is available as a three-volume book,[1] as a CD-ROM,[2] and online.[3][4] Databases, entries, and interlinks[edit]
Complex systems tutorial Jan Burian burianj (at) vse.cz You can find here: Basic introduction to Complex Systems Science and relevant modeling tools Many links to web resources and a list of relevant literature "Complex systems" (4IZ636), lecture on University of Economics, Prague Content White Paper: Pragmatic Randomized Trials: Considerations for Design and Implementation - Evidera One of the challenges of designing effective PRTs is the choice of outcomes and endpoints. The term outcome is used here to mean a measured variable or event of interest (e.g., time to first occurrence of a composite outcome such as myocardial infarction [MI], stroke, or cardiovascular death, which collectively are referred to as major adverse cardiovascular events [MACE]), whereas an endpoint refers to an analyzed parameter that is expected to change over time as a result of an intervention (e.g., change in LDL-C from baseline). For a PRT to meet the requirements of both regulators and payers, it is important that the selected endpoints and outcome measures resonate with key stakeholders (patients, payers, regulators, and healthcare providers), and be defined with sufficient sensitivity (typically more important for safety) and specificity (typically more important for effectiveness estimates) to translate the trial objectives into precise definitions of treatment effect.
Resources A sense of space and place www.geography.org.uk/download/GA_Conf10Barlow.ppt This presentation was given at the 2010 GA Annual Conference: Places are multi-layered, sensory, diverse and often complex spaces, given meaning and form through human interaction. In turn, places help define our identity and evoke a range of emotions. This workshop will explore techniques to help you bring places alive in the classroom and reflect on personal and shared meanings. Links with sustainability and social cohesion and refers to the new primary curriculum. Complex systems science allows us to see new paths forward We’re at a unique moment in the 200,000 years or so that Homo sapiens have walked the Earth. For the first time in that long history, humans are capable of coordinating on a global scale, using fine-grained data on individual behaviour, to design robust and adaptable social systems. The pandemic of 2019-20 has brought home this potential. Never before has there been a collective, empirically informed response of the magnitude that COVID-19 has demanded. Yes, the response has been ambivalent, uneven and chaotic – we are fumbling in low light, but it’s the low light of dawn.
