We propose a framework using system dynamics to model the dynamic behaviour of organisations in accident analysis. Most current accident analysis techniques are event-based and do not adequately capture the dynamic complexity and non-linear interactions that characterize accidents in complex systems. In this paper we propose a set of system safety archetypes that model common safety culture fla...

BACKGROUND Exchange of Electronic Health Record (EHR) data between systems from different suppliers is a major challenge. EHR communication based on archetype methodology has been developed by openEHR and CEN/ISO. The experience of using archetypes in deployed EHR systems is quite limited today. Currently deployed EHR systems with large user bases have their own proprietary way of representing ...

Unconscious mental processes have recently started gaining attention in a number of scientific disciplines. One of the theoretical frameworks for describing unconscious processes was introduced by Jung as a part of his model of the psyche. This framework uses the concept of archetypes that represent prototypical experiences associated with objects, people, and situations. Although the validity ...

PURPOSE To assess the clinical validity of visual field (VF) archetypal analysis, a previously developed machine learning method for decomposing any Humphrey VF (24-2) into a weighted sum of clinically recognizable VF loss patterns. MATERIALS AND METHODS For each of 16 previously identified VF loss patterns ("archetypes," denoted AT1 through AT16), we screened 30,995 reliable VFs to select 10...

Carl Gustav Jung, the   founder   of   the   analytical   psychology   in the twentieth century   believes    that   under   the   appearance   of   human   consciousness   exists   an eternal collective unconscious   which is   part   of   the   hereditary   psychological   factor   common in the entire human race. He successfully introduced   the common archetypes in the mythology of   the di...

Despite a wealth of prescriptive literature intended to assist practitioners to manage information technology more effectively, there is ample evidence that many organizations continue to experience serious difficulties in achieving desired levels of success in implementing strategic IT initiatives. This paper describes a research design intended to investigate whether identification of an orga...

Intel IT developed a unique standardized threat agent library (TAL) that provides a consistent, up-to-date reference describing the human agents that pose threats to IT systems and other information assets. The TAL quickly helps risk managers identify accurately and understand the importance of relevant threat agents. The library consists of 22 standardized archetypes defined using eight common...

The inner world of the child is a community of archetypes potentially available for the child's healthy ego development. Many forces limit and prohibit their utility. Play therapy in the context of a hypnotic relationship can potentiate these archetypes into becoming "playful metaphors" for healing and strengthening ego development. In this article, the author describes her use of playful metap...
