Polysystem Modelling of Geographical Processes and Phenomena in Nature and Society
Polysystem methodology elaborated for comprehensive analysis of geographical objects considers them as interrelated systems of different types. Each systematic interpretation of a territorial object is formed as a theory describing this object with a special language used for construction of a certain type of models. This paper proposes new methods to develop geographical models and describes several types of systematic models constructed by these methods.
Mathematical Modeling and Quantitative Analysis of the Demographic and Ecological Aspects of Russian Supermortality
We have carried out a polysystem analysis of the population dynamics by using a variety of hypotheses and their respective models based on different system interpretations of the phenomenon under investigation. Each of the models supplements standard dynamic equations for explaining the effects observed. A qualitative model-based analysis is made of the age-specific male mortality for a Siberian industrial city. The study revealed the tendencies...
