Who Is the System? On the Externalisation and Depersonalisation of Responsibility for Abuse

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article examines the externalisation and depersonalisation of responsibility in the institutional communication of the Roman Catholic Church in the context of sexualised violence. Niklas Luhmann's theory of social systems is used to show how semantic constructions such as ‘systemic causes’ rhetorically blur responsibility and contribute ...

How Do We Measure and Increase Systems Thinking? Comparing Self‐Reported and Performative Metrics in Response to Building Causal Loop Models

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Systems thinking is a mindset and skill essential to understanding and addressing complex challenges. However, increasing and measuring systems thinking is difficult. In this research, we compared multiple approaches to measuring systems thinking, including self‐reported measures of a systems thinking mindset and performative measures of ...

Metaverse and Artificial Intelligence as Web 4.0: The Next Generation of the Internet

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study utilizes systems thinking to explore and entwine an evolving metaverse scholarship to a relatively underexplored phenomenon of Web 4.0. We adopt a soft systems thinking framework to guide the interpretation of complex and evolving metaverse scholarship, using bibliometric mapping of 5587 publications sourced from Scopus.

What Program for Love in the 21st Century? Thinking With and Beyond Luhmann

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT From a sociological perspective, the paper examines how normative frameworks for intimate relationships have changed since the publication of Luhmann's Love as Passion (1982). Building on Luhmann's notion of a program for love, we discuss his claim that late 20th century love semantics were organized around a program of understanding. We argue

Computational intelligence model for predicting the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete column

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) wrapping technology is commonly used to enhance the compressive strength (CS) of reinforced concrete (RC) members. Accurate prediction of the compressive strength of FRP‐confined concrete columns is crucial for optimizing structural design and helps reduce the time and costs associated with physical testing ...
