AbstractNew definitions of 'dimensionality' and 'dimension' are set forth that dominate older definitions. Dominance means not that older interpretations are violated, but that the sense of the new interpretation extends substantially the sense of older interpretations, thereby opening up the use of the term in a much broader class of situations.Among the benefits of the new interpretation of dimensionality are: Greater understanding of situations, greater effectiveness in describing situations, more lucid descriptions, better system designs, substantive cross‐discipline problem‐solving activities that cannot now be carried out in a common framework, and the potential for a more coherent community of scholars.

Discussed is the concept of one-dimensionality, which is seen to have been outdated in the early 1960s because the phase of capitalist development it describes was already in the process of being superseded. The critical theory which formulated the thesis is examined & found wanting owing to the unwillingness of orthodox Marxists to break with traditional thought. The role of psychoanalysis in Marxist critical theory is discussed. The processes of homogenization & depersonalization are analyzed & related to the Vietnam War, the civil rights movement, the women's movement, & the rise of criminality. The international context of the elimination of specificity & otherness is examined. A. Rubins.

The Q-analysis governance approach and the use of simplicial complexes—type of hypergraph—allow to introduce the formal concepts of dimension and conjugacy between the network of entities involved in governance (typically organizations) and the networks of those attributes taken into account (e.g. their competences), which offer a specific angle of analysis. The different sources of existing data (e.g. textual corpora) to feed the analysis of governance—environmental in particular—are mentioned, their reliability is briefly discussed and the required pre-processing steps are identified in the perspective of evidence-based analyses. Various indices are constructed and evaluated to characterize the context of governance as a whole, at mesoscale, or locally, i.e. at the level of each of the entities and each of the attributes considered. The analysis of ideal-type stylizing boundary cases provides useful references to the analysis of concrete systems of governance and to the interpretation of their empirically observed properties. The use of this governance modeling approach is illustrated by the analysis of a health-environment governance system in Southeast Asia, in the context of a One Health approach.

This study posits three dimensions of self-report measures of readership based on the extent to which a measure reflects a general predisposition to expose oneself to a magazine or is tied to a specific issue. Confirmatory factor analysis of specific indicants related to the three general dimensions was used to test the resulting measurement model with a readership study conducted in Venezuela (N = 500). The results demonstrate that the specified dimensions provided a good fit to the data, with higher loadings and less measurement error associated with the dimension reflecting the most abstract measures. As predicted, the intercorrelations between the dimensions indicated they reflect differing underlying dimensions of readership.
