Contingency Theory: Science Or Technology?

Health Technology Assessment – science or art?

The founding disciplines of HTA are clearly scientific, and have been firmly based among the natural sciences. However, common definitions of HTA indicate that HTA is something more than the "pure application of science". This article investigates whether this "something" also makes HTA an art. The question of whether HTA is a science or an art is pursued in two specific and historically rich d...

ARPN Journal of Science and Technology::Fuzzy Soft Lattice Theory

Soft set theory was introduced by Molodtsov in 1999 as a general mathematical tool for dealing with problems that contain uncertainty. In this paper, we define concept of fuzzy soft lattice, fuzzy soft sublattice, complete fuzzy soft lattice, modular fuzzy soft lattice, distributive fuzzy soft lattice, fuzzy soft chain and study their basic properties.

Disciplining the Sustainable City: Moving Beyond Science, Technology or Society?

Tool or Science? The History of Computing at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology

One may characterize the history of computing at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology by a tension between the computer as a tool in other disciplines and computer science as discipline in itself. This tension has been latent since the pioneering period of the 1950s until today. This paper shows how this have been expressed in the early attempts to take up computing at the Univers...
