...Igor Perko Purpose This paper aims to introduce a semi-structured interaction observation methodology to highlight how structures, roles, constraints and feedback loops shape the publishing process, examining in detail a single instance. It focuses on academic publishing as a systemic interaction...

...Matjaz Mulej; Robert Vallée Purpose To present the concept of inverse transfer of the internal structures of a dynamical system to the perception it has of its environment and itself. Design/methodology/approach We use the formalism of mathematical operators acting on functional spaces...

...Matjaz Mulej; Pasqual Francesc Esteve‐Calvo; Miguel Lloret‐Climent Purpose Based on some of the results and definitions provided in the paper “system linkage: structural functions and hierarchies” and adding new definitions that are in keeping with the spirit of the same paper, new results have...

... to provide homeomorphic structures serving as frames of reference in order to account for the successive positions of any objects present in the system. Mappings from one section to the next involve morphisms of the general structures, representing a continuous reference frame, and morphisms of objects...

... a particular kind of space‐time‐like structure which favors the aggregation of such deformations into fractal forms standing for massive objects. A correlative dilatation of space appears outside the aggregates. At large scale, this dilatation results in an apparent expansion, while at submicroscopic scale...

... in Parts 2 and 3 of the study. © MCB UP Limited 2003 Whatever be the actual structure of our observable space‐time, no system of measure can be operational if it does not match the properties of the measured objects. Scanning a light‐opaque world with a light beam, by ignorance...

... an approach to understand and discuss organisational identity through analysis of stakeholders. Second, it describes structural modelling of activities, which is followed by the crucial idea in the method of unfolding the organisation’s complexity. Fourth, it shows a tool for studying the distribution...
