چکیده
In this paper we will reconsider the dichotomy of "perspective" that conventionally informs most methodological discussions. This dichotomy separates the perspective of the actor from the perspective of the social scientist and is a crucial premiss of positivistic social science. It is not the separation of actor and scientist that is problematic; if the activities of the scientist are not negligible, a distinction will be made in any case. It is the supposition of a privileged perspective of the scientist that is problematic, as it is an implicit ontological distinction. Let us consider these perspectives.

متن کاملA Comparative Study of Least-Squares and the Weak-Form Galerkin Finite Element Models for the Nonlinear Analysis of Timoshenko Beams
In this paper, a comparison of weak-form Galerkin and least-squares finite element models of Timoshenko beam theory with the von Kármán strains is presented. Computational characteristics of the two models and the influence of the polynomial orders used on the relative accuracies of the two models are discussed. The degree of approximation functions used varied from linear to the 5th order. In ...
