  • Healthy Food and Nutrition Offerings at Midwestern Food Pantries

    Open AccessJoan M Hermsen, Lexi Oetterer et al.ARTICLEJournal of Applied Social Science2025

    Food pantries differ in terms of their commitment to, capacity for, and practices in support of healthy eating options and nutrition programming for food pantry users. We assess these differences in a sample of 476 food pantries in the Midwestern United States. Using survey data collected in 2021 from food pantry directors, we find high support for offering healthy food options at pantries, although there are some pantry infrastructure and staff …

  • Toward a complexity theory of information systems development

    Open AccessHind Benbya, B Mckelvey et al.ARTICLEInformation Technology and People2006Cited by: 4References: 5

    Purpose Existing literature acknowledges information systems development (ISD) to be a complex activity. This complexity is magnified by the continuous changes in user requirements due to changing organizational needs in changing external competitive environments. Research findings show that, if this increasing complexity is not managed appropriately, information systems fail. The paper thus aims to portray the sources of complexity related to IS…

And as he himself admitted many times and as his work suggests so clearly, he also became an avowed evolutionary epistemologist. Scientific realism resolved the first dilemma. Evolutionary epistemology abrogated the third one and Campbell’s later conflation of evolutionary epistemology with hermeneutics nullified the…
