In this paper, we conceptualize Open Data ecosystems by analysing the major stakeholders in the UK. The conceptualization is based on a review of popular Open Data definitions and business ecosystem theories, which we applied to qualitative empirical data. Our work is informed by a combination of discourse analysis and a content analysis of in-depth interviews, undertaken during the summer of 2013. Drawing on the UK as a best practice example, we examine a set of structural business ecosystem properties: circular flow of resources, sustainability, demand that encourages supply, and dependence developing between suppliers, intermediaries, and users. We identify that gaps and shortcomings remain. Most prominently, demand is not yet fully encouraging supply and actors have yet to experience fully mutual interdependence.

Depth Interviews

Objectives The number of doctors directly entering UK specialty training after their foundation year 2 (F2) has steadily declined from 83% in 2010 to 42.6% in 2017. The year following F2, outside the UK training pathway, is informally termed an ‘F3’ year. There is a paucity of qualitative research exploring why increasingly doctors are taking F3s. The aim of this study is to explore the reasons why F2 doctors are choosing to take a year out of training and the impact upon future career choices. Design This is an exploratory qualitative study, using in-depth interviews and content analysis. Setting UK. Participants Fourteen participants were interviewed from one foundation school. Participants included five doctors who commenced their F3 in 2015, five who started in 2016 and finally four recently starting this in 2017. Main outcome measures Content analysis was conducted to distill the themes which exemplified the totality of the experience of the three groups. Results There were four predominant themes arising within the data set which can be framed as ‘unmet needs’ arising within foundation years, sought to be fulfilled by the F3 year. First, doctors describe exhaustion and stress resulting in a need for a ‘break’. Second, doctors required more time to make decisions surrounding specialty applications and prepare competitive portfolios. Third, participants felt a loss of control which was (partially) regained during their F3s. The final theme was the impact of taking time out upon return to training (for those participants who had completed their F3 year). When doctors returned to NHS posts they brought valuable experience. Conclusions This study provides evidence to support the important ongoing initiatives from Health Education England and other postgraduate bodies, exploring approaches to further engage, retain and support the junior doctor workforce.

AbstractIn the UK and Scotland, considerable resources have been devoted to tackling the persistent issue of young people who are, or are at risk of becoming, not in education, employment or training (NEET), a pathologized status that incurs significant penalties for young people and the economy. Using critical discourse analysis, this paper analyses and evaluates policy rhetoric to explore how the NEET ‘problem’, agenda and population are constituted by the UK and Scottish governments. In doing so, numerous unifying and problematic NEET policy tropes are identified, challenging the popular notion of significant policy divergence between the punitive reputation of Westminster and the image of Scottish governance as more socially democratic. Moreover, this paper differs from traditional policy analysis by also evaluating policy from the perspective of young people, drawing on empirical data from a qualitative study of the school-to-work transitions of NEET and marginally employed young people in Scotland.

Valid Information

This paper focuses on the spread of disinformation on novel coronavirus (COVID-19) and creating the larger phenomena of information disorder. It analyses an array of definitional meaning and disinformation on COVID-19, which has been identified and grounded with valid information by the fact-checkers. The study’s aim is to explore and analyse the intents behind the circulation of misleading information (intended and unintended) on COVID-19. For the study, quantitative content analysis and qualitative discourse analysis methods were utilised to explore the extent of the misleading information on COVID-19. Further, in-depth interviews were conducted with fact-checkers, media professionals, academicians, and a psychologist to understand the purpose of disinformation and its impact on society at large. The study’s findings propose that fact-checking is a crucial method to identify fake/misleading information, which can be counter acted by accurate and verified information. This paper argues that holding journalists, fact-checkers, the Government, and the citizens’ accountable, is necessary to counter the threat of disinformation about the pandemic.

Them and us: Why they are nationalists and we are not. An analysis of journalists’ language in relation to others

Liberal opinion often views nationalism as a distasteful and reactionary concept. But what does it mean to be a nationalist? This article seeks to investigate what selected newspapers in the UK mean when they label a political party or an individual as nationalist. An initial content analysis demonstrates that journalists use the label to cover a variety of movements and individuals with disparate political and cultural goals. Making use of the banal nationalism concept and the idea of strategy in discourse analysis, it is suggested here that these disparate groups are brought together under the banner of nationalist to convey a sense of otherness, in contrast to the natural, timeless world of nation states which the journalists and readers inhabit. Time and space considerations require reporters to use forms of journalism shorthand when reporting on complex situations but it is argued here that the use of the label nationalist does little to enhance understanding of these complex stories. Furthermore, it is argued that, in a UK context, the exclusion by newspapers of those who support the continuation of the current British state from being categorized as nationalist is useful for those who are campaigning against local independence movements.

Municipalities play a crucial role in health and welfare promotion. Promotion should have a strong participative, collaborative emphasis and it should be strategically oriented. The purpose of this article was to examine the practices and contents of health and welfare promotion strategy work in municipal context. Empirical data consisted of 1) 46 municipal welfare strategy documents, which were analysed using a special maturity model developed for the study and 2) 26 in-depth interviews collected from municipal managers, sector managers and municipal health coordinators and analysed using content analysis. Findings showed that strategy work is based on the limited conceptions of health and wellbeing, participation and collaboration has not been fully implemented and strategic actors are uncertain about making strategic choices. To develop the maturity of the strategy work, we suggest increasing the polyphonic and collaborative conditions with unifying leadership and with the tools of social marketing.

O objetivo é averiguar a correlação dos fatores motivacionais e produtivos no contexto institucional da Polícia Civil. O estudo de caso foi conduzido por entrevistas em profundidade com um Delegado de Polícia, um Investigador de Polícia, e um Escrivão de Polícia. A análise de conteúdo foi utilizada. Conclui-se que há evidente correlação entre o desenvolvimento de artefatos motivacionais, sejam eles de ordem ambiental ou individual, com a produtividade na instituição da Polícia Civil. Destaca-se também, que apesar do controle e avaliação dos índices de produtividade serem predominantemente burocráticos, institucionalizados e legitimados, a ligação que se estabelece com a manifestação dos artefatos motivacionais é subjetiva, relacional e intangível nas normas institucionais. Destaca-se este evento neste artigo, porque como foi visto anteriormente, tanto a natureza do trabalho, quanto o ambiente da Polícia Civil, estão em total desencontro ao desenvolvimento de produtividade e motivação no sentido clássico destas vertentes. The aims is to determine the correlation of the motivational and productive factors in the institutional context of the Civil Police. The case study was conducted by in-depth interviews with a Chief of Police, Police Investigator, and Actuary Police. The content analysis was used for fixed grid. It is concluded that there is clear correlation between the development of motivational artifacts, whether environmental or individual order, with productivity in the civil police institution. Also noteworthy is that despite the control and evaluation of productivity indexes were predominantly bureaucratic, institutionalized and legitimized, the connection that is established with the manifestation of motivational artifacts is subjective, relational and intangible assets in the institutional rules. It highlights this event in this article, because as discussed above, both the nature of the work, as the environment of the Civil Police, are in complete disagreement with the development of productivity and motivation in the classical sense of the aforementioned areas.
