Triadic Analysis: A Conceptual tool for Clinical Sociologists

This paper explores the utility of triadic analysis as a conceptual tool for clinical sociologists. Departing from earlier research on patterns of interaction, triads are emphasized over dyads as the structural basis of both micro- and macro-processes, and interdependency is recognized as a decisive influence in the formation and dynamics of triads. Clinical examples and applications of triadic analysis suggest that stress and conflict within a dyad prompt its members to seek out a third party to neutralize the tension. A third party functions to stabilize the dyad, in some cases as participant in a new dyadic coalition within the triad. Until the original dyadic stress is effectively lowered, third parties are continuously sought. This predictable outreach creates networks that stabilize dyads and relationship systems

Crowdsourcing in Software Development: A State-of-the-Art Analysis

As software development cycles become shorter and shorter, while software complexity increases and IT budgets stagnate, many companies are looking for new ways of acquiring and sourcing knowledge outside their boundaries. One promising solution to aggregate know-how and manage large distributed teams in software development is crowdsourcing. This paper analyzes the existing body of knowledge regarding crowdsourcing in software development. As a result, we propose a fundamental framework with five dimensions to structure the existing insights of crowdsourcing in the context of software development and to derive a research agenda to guide further research

Domingo

With these five stories, the intention is to prompt reflection through description of varied themes and conditions. In some cases, the character's thoughts and words outline the shape of the reflection; in other cases, it is hoped the reader will reflect on what has not quite been said. In "The Doctor" one man's relation to love in his life is described. In "Evolution" the shape of reflection is fanciful, though perhaps not unrelated to trends in modern life. "Domingo" is the Spanish day of rest. The musings of one boy are presented in this story, and in "Life Is Not A Job" the events in the life and thoughts of a very different boy are related. "On the Way to New York" returns to a theme of relationship, though in this story the concern is not love, but kindliness
