Sustainable Development – Causality Loop Economic Development with Due Care of the Environment Systems approach: linking human activities and their consequences in closed loop Each component depends on its causal upstream driver – and external environment The causal loop can be used as an organizing principle for sustainability analysis

5. Systems Biology a paradigm, usually defined in antithesis to the so-called reductionist paradigm, although fully consistent with the scientific method. The distinction between the two paradigms is referred to in these quotations:paradigmreductionistscientific method Systems biology is a biology-based inter-disciplinary study field that focuses on the systematic study of complex interactions in biological systems, thus using a new perspective (integration instead of reduction) to study them... to discover new emergent properties that may arise from the systemic view in order to understand the entirety of processes that happen in a biological system.biological systemsintegrationreduction
