The paper investigates the development issues associated with the conceptual framework of the innovation studies in forensic science as a new research area in forensic science. The author studies the methodological problems of developing and grouping categories and concepts of the subject matter. It is substantiated that the level of development and validity of any scientific theory, including the innovation studies in forensic science, is determined according to the degree and level of development of its theoretical and methodological principles and the framework of categories and concepts of this theory. In particular, this refers to such concepts as forensic innovation, innovative forensic product, their functions, classifications, stages of the innovation process, etc. The study analyses the scientific approaches to understanding the basic categories of the matter under consideration, which are innovative forensic product and forensic innovation. The author offers their definitions, describes essential features and properties, and analyses the correlation of these concepts. Furthermore, the author analyses the general and universal dialectical method of rising from the abstract to the concrete and from the concrete to the abstract, including their role in the development of the conceptual framework of innovation studies in forensic science. The study notes that the methodological framework for the development and implementation of innovative forensic products and the application of forensic innovations in law enforcement also includes activity-based, system-structural, and technological approaches, the use of which is promising both in the study of basic concepts of innovation studies in forensic science and in the development of this forensic theory. The author articulates proposals and individual insights in the solution of particular debating points associated with innovations in forensic science and law enforcement practice. The study substantiates that a comprehensive approach to the development of basic concepts and categories of innovation studies in forensic science constitutes a methodological foundation for further research on this subject, which determines the promising areas for the development of forensic scienc

PurposeEmployees are considered as important contributors to service innovation, but the literature is not unanimous about what employee involvement in service innovation entails. To advance theoretical understanding of the topic, this paper develops a conceptual framework for analysing employee involvement in service innovations, reviews existing research on the topic and proposes a research agenda.Design/methodology/approachDifferent modes of employee involvement in service innovation are distinguished based on two dimensions: (1) the intensity of employee influence on service innovation and (2) the breadth of the innovation activity in which employees are involved. This conceptual framework is abductively developed through a literature review of empirical service innovation studies to identify and analyse whether and how these modes of employee involvement are manifested in the service innovation literature.FindingsThe findings delineate six modes of employee involvement in the reviewed service innovation studies. Employees are primarily seen as having a strong influence on situated innovation activities but a limited influence on systemic innovation activities. The findings show that more research is needed to assess the connections between different modes of employee involvement.Practical implicationsThe findings can be used by practitioners to assess the possibilities different modes of employee involvement may bring to service innovation activities.Originality/valueThe proposed conceptual framework and the analysis of current research and research gaps in service innovation studies provide a clear research agenda for progressing multidimensional understanding of employee involvement in service innovation.

Reading is very important to access knowledge. Reading skills starts during preschool level no matter of the types of languages. At present, there are many preschool children who are still unable to recognize letters or even words. This leads to the difficulties in reading. Therefore, there is a need of intervention in reading to overcome such problems. Thus, technologies were adapted in enhancing learning skills, especially in learning to read among the preschool children. Phonological is one of the factors to be considered to ensure a smooth of transition into reading. Phonological concept enables the first learner to easily learn reading such to learn reading Malay language. The medium of learning to read Malay language can be assisted via the supportive of multimedia technology to enhance the preschool children learning. Thus, an interactive system is proposed via a development of interactive reading Malay language learning system, which is called as I-ReaMaLLS. As a part of the development of I-ReaMaLLS, this paper focus on the development of conceptual framework in developing interactive reading Malay language learning system (I-ReaMaLLS). I-ReaMaLLS is voice based system that facilitates the preschool learner in learning reading Malay language. The conceptual framework of developing I-ReaMaLLS is conceptualized based on the initial study conducted via methods of literature review and observation with the preschool children, aged 5 – 6 years. As the result of the initial study, research objectives have been affirmed that finally contributes to the design of conceptual framework for the development of I-ReaMaLLS.

Abstract Background: Policy formulation and implementation are important aspects of the policy process that have attracted the attention of several researchers. From these studies, it has been determined that a reliable policy system is needed for progress and growth in any sector. Methods: A robust theoretical or conceptual framework is designed in this paper to enable a seamless policy formulation and implementation through the implementation of a variant of the Kingdon’s Multiple Streams Framework. The framework designed in this study employs various building blocks needed to form a reliable policy for any sector in order to facilitate growth and development. The conceptual framework (building blocks) serves as a lens through which the data collected for the study is analysed, based on the constructs upon which the study is conducted. To apply the proposed model, some hospitals in the Niger Delta were visited and served questionnaire. The questionnaire focused on the level of infrastructural development and the introduction of information and communication technology(ICT) e-health solution for healthcare delivery. Results: Statistical results from the questionnaire were obtained and used to address organizational, infrastructural and individual challenges in relation to policy formulation and implementation within the sector. The overall result proves the robustness of the proposed model. Conclusion: The paper presents a detailed and painstaking examination of the various aspects of the Kingdon’s model, and its application in the proposed model for policy formulation and implementation. The proposed framework is adopted in the study of Nigeria’s healthcare sector with a case study on the Niger Delta.

E-commerce has several benefits with many challenges. The identity of the involved parties and verifying the suitability of the goods is a matter of debate. There is no proper theory to explain this complex online purchasing behavior. A conceptual framework development was conducted specifically to find a model to measure online purchasing intention.

Chapter 1 serves as the introduction to the book. It outlines the problematic, source base, and basic conceptual framework of this study and introduces Ivan Nikitich Kononov, one of the book’s central protagonists. It also gives a general summary of the argument, discusses methodological problems, and situates the book in a wider historiographical context. The book reconstructs the motivations, background, and experience of a significant minority of Red Army soldiers: those who willingly crossed the front line to give themselves up to the Germans. The book asks how many of these defectors there were, what share of Stalin’s fighting forces they composed, why they committed treason, how they went about doing it, and what happened to them afterwards. It argues that desertion across the front line was an extreme behaviour, but one that tells us much not only about this war but also about Soviet society under Stalin.
