Psychoanalysis ushered in this century. Will its influence on developmental psychopathology end in the next? The paper explores some critical obstacles in the way of psychodynamic research, including the fragmentation of psychoanalytic theory. the relative independence of theory from its clinical and empirical base, the predominance of inductive scientific logic, the polymorphous use of terms, ...

This issue of Current Biology includes two reviews on the biophysics of cell motility. They focus on the mechanism of force generation by polymerizing and depolymerizing cytoskeletal filament proteins, and emphasise the contributions to understanding these processes of quantitative theoretical analyses. The work covered in these reviews is squarely in the tradition of biophysics, where — as in ...

Following the development of a framework for critical stylistics (Jeffries 2010) and the explication of some of the theoretical assumptions behind this framework (Jeffries 2014a, 2014b, 2015a, 2015b), the present article attempts to put this framework into a larger theoretical context as a way to approach textual meaning. Using examples from the popular U.S. television show, The Big Bang Theory...

This paper deals with the critical reevaluation of the methodology of classical Christaller Losch && Central Place Theory. In the beginning of the paper the reconstruction of Central Place Geometry on the basis of the Mobius && Barycentric Calculus was considered. On this basis a superposition model of the actual Central Place System is constructed. Building blocks of this model are the Beckman...

For those employing grounded theory as a research methodology, the issue of how and when to engage with existing literature is often problematic, especially for PhD students. With this in mind, the current article seeks to offer some clarity on the topic and provide novice grounded theory researchers in particular with advice on how to approach the issue of the literature review in grounded the...

Little is known about how individuals come to relate to settings in virtual worlds (VWs), which are defined as digital environments in which individuals, groups, and even organizations interact in virtual (that is to say, nonphysical) spaces. This research develops a theory of virtual space and place (VSP), specifically relating this to the setting of Second Life (SL), a prominent social virtua...

OBJECTIVE: Although rehabilitation psychology is more focused on empirical evidence and clinical application than theory development, we argue for the primacy of theory, and explain why theories are needed in and useful for rehabilitation psychology. Impediments to theory development are discussed, including the difficulties of applying psychological theories in multidisciplinary enterprises, a...

We show that the algebraic K -theory of generalized archimedean valuation rings occurring in Durov’s compactification of the spectrum of a number ring is given by stable homotopy groups of certain classifying spaces.We also show that the “residue field at infinity” is badly behaved from a K -theoretic point of view.

Little is known about how individuals come to relate to settings in virtual worlds (VWs), which are defined as 18 digital environments in which individuals, groups, and even organizations interact in virtual (that is to say, 19 nonphysical) spaces. This research develops a theory of virtual space and place (VSP), specifically relating 20 this to the setting of Second Life (SL), a prominent soci...
