Those who take this line agree that theoretical or instrumental reason is incapable of telling us or determining the moral truth, or motivating us.
In this paper we assess the theoretical rationale, instrumental aspects and the coping with policy constraints of three evolutionary policy approaches which have also been used in empirical studies: strategic niche management, transition management and time strategies.
Homophily theory and SNA provided the theoretical and instrumental techniques for identifying theory, measures, and empirical models.
Through theoretical calculations and instrumental analysis, we conclude that non-photochemical quenching rather than the fluorescence resonance energy transfer and charge transfer dominates the quenching of NPDs by aromatic compounds.
Mapping phase: In this phase, the key elements of the selected studies (conceptual, theoretical, methodological, and instrumental) were identified and articles meeting the inclusion criteria were reviewed.
As Sumner and Tribe indicate in the case of development studies, there are varying degrees of instrumentality, from weakly instrumental approaches that involve theoretical and abstract knowledge-seeking, to more applied, strongly instrumental forms.
Yet the historical, cultural, instrumental, and theoretical materials of earlier times are equally informative and fascinating.
Theoretical models can be instrumental in the construction of testable hypotheses; but ultimately, the studies that serve to test these hypotheses – rather than data from the models – should remain the source of information pertaining to hominin paleobiology and evolution.
From theoretical considerations about the instrumental genesis of the artifact and the appropriation of resources, we try to characterize appropriation processes through a threshold which means that appropriation is done without misappropriating the design goal of resources and scenario.
The PCP rate of discretionary colonoscopy was the variable with the best theoretical attributes of an instrumental variable, and was associated with the most variation in the receipt of colonoscopy.
