Philosophical foundations for a zigzag theory structure
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper describes a specific zigzag theory structure and relates its application to the information systems field. The foundations discussed are related to reality, knowledge, action and theory structure. The zigzag theory structure can be differentiated and used to describe task processes such as information systems development, and the use of information systems in business processes.

Zigzag Persistence
We describe a new methodology for studying persistence of topological features across a family of spaces or point-cloud data sets, called zigzag persistence. Building on classical results about quiver representations, zigzag persistence generalises the highly successful theory of persistent homology and addresses several situations which are not covered by that theory. In this paper we develop ...
متن کاملAdopting Constructivist versus Objectivist Grounded Theory in Health Care Research: A Review of the Evidence
Background and aim: Grounded theory has taken some different theoretical perspectives since its creation in 1967 by Barney Glaser. Considering that applying grounded theory partly depends on an awareness of its philosophical perspectives, gaining knowledge about these various perspectives is required for health care professionals who are interested in studying the social processes. This review ...
متن کاملStructure and electronic properties of single–walled zigzag BN and B3C2N3 nanotubes using first-principles methods
The structure and the electronic properties of single-walled zigzag BN and B3C2N3 nanotubes (n, 0; n=4–10) were investigated using first-principles calculations based on a density functional theory. A plane–wave basis set with periodic boundary conditions in conjunction with Vanderbilt ultrasoft pseudo-potential was employed. The energy gap of ZB3C<su...
متن کاملA Zigzag Theory with Local Shear Correction Factors for Semi-Analytical Bending Modal Analysis of Functionally Graded Viscoelastic Circular Sandwich Plates
Free bending vibration analysis of the functionally graded viscoelastic circular sandwich plates is accomplished in the present paper, for the first time. Furthermore, local shear corrections factors are presented that may consider simultaneous effects of the gradual variations of the material properties and the viscoelastic behaviors of the materials, for the first time. Moreover, in contrast ...
