Does application of complexity theory simplify concepts of psychiatry: Analogies and insights

open access: yesIndustrial Psychiatry Journal, 2021
Scientific curiosity has not been able to explain the cause of psychiatric illness based on primarily biological or social paradigm. Available literatures were explored to understand causality of psychiatric illness from perspective of physics. Theory of

Advancing Complexity Theory as a Qualitative Research Methodology

open access: yesInternational Journal of Qualitative Methods, The, 2018
Although complexity theory is increasingly used to explain and understand complex health-system behavior, little is known about utilizing complexity theory to augment qualitative research methods. We advance this field by describing our use of complexity

Complexity theory

open access: yes, 2014
[Extract] What is complexity theory? To use complexity theory is to unlearn the way we traditionally understand the world. Our ways of thinking and of teaching and learning are often based on concepts such as linearity and cause-and-effect, of ...

Complexity theory and geographies of health: a critical assessment [PDF]

open access: yesSocial Science and Medicine, 2005
The interest of social scientists in complexity theory has developed rapidly in recent years. Here, I consider briefly the primary characteristics of complexity theory, with particular emphasis given to relations and networks, non-linearity, emergence ...

Process Complexity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2021
We develop the ontology of “process complexity” and describe how the dynamics of “becoming” can be framed as the emerging, stabilising, and ultimate dissolving of “patterns of relationships.” By extending traditional complexity thinking through ...

Missio Dei through complexity theory: Complexity to total salvation

open access: yesIn die Skriflig, 2022
Complexity theory continues to fascinate the academics owing to its capability to describe complex systems holistically. This theory makes it possible to understand a complex system by studying its constituent subsystems. Understanding the missio Dei has

Optimization of coupling and global collapse in diffusively coupled socio-ecological resource exploitation networks

open access: yesNew Journal of Physics, 2021
Single- and multi-layer complex networks have been proven as a powerful tool to study the dynamics within social, technological, or natural systems. An often observed common goal is to optimize these systems for specific purposes by minimizing certain ...

Smoothed Complexity Theory [PDF]

open access: yesACM Transactions on Computation Theory, 2012
Smoothed analysis is a new way of analyzing algorithms introduced by Spielman and Teng. Classical methods like worst-case or average-case analysis have accompanying complexity classes, such as P and Avg-P, respectively. Whereas worst-case or average-case analysis give us a means to talk about the running time of a particular algorithm, complexity ...
