“Mayor or Manager – Why Changing the Management Model is under Discussion in Municipalities?” The aim of this study is to produce new knowledge on why municipalities consider changing their management model and what contexts and issues lead to such considerations. Based on previous research we comprise a synthesis about the factors that bring about the need for changing the management model. We use it as an analytical tool in analysing our empirical qualitative data, which consists of Finnish news articles. Our findings strengthen and complement the previous research: the changing operational environment and dissatisfaction with management and distribution of power are the key issues that bring up considerations for changing the management model. Our empirical data analysis comprehends previous research by revealing new factors, the growing demands for local politicians and practical reasons, that may lead to changes in the management model. Keywords: mayor, manager, management model, municipalities, Finland

Recent texts on globalisation and education policy refer to the rapid flow of education policy texts producing or responding to common trends across nation states with the emergence of new knowledge economies. These educational policies are shaping what counts as research and the dynamics between research, policy, and practice in schools, creating new types of relationships between universities, the public, the professions, government, and industry. The trend to evidence-based policy and practice in Australian schools is used to identify key issues within wider debates about the ‘usefulness’ of educational research and the role of universities and university-based research in education in new knowledge economies.

Trading volume is a sheet of company shares traded on a particular transaction and has beenagreed between the seller and the buyer, Simple Moving Average is a method that studies themovement of the previous stock price based on the number of certain days in order to predict thestock price that will occur to the next.The objective of the study is to find out how much influenceTrade Volume and Simple Moving Average on Stock Prices is and what are the most dominantaspects in influencing Stock Prices. The type of the research uses a quantitative approach, namely anapproach in which the data are in the form of numbers or qualitative data that have been used asnumbers. The technique of collecting data uses documentation. The analytical tool used is multiplelinear regression tests including T Test, F Test and Coefisein R² Determination processed usingEviews. The results of the study show that partially the trading volume variable does not have asignificant effect on Stock Prices and the Simple Moving Average variable shows a positive andsignificant effect on stock prices while the results of the research simultaneously show that theTrading Volume and Simple Moving Average variables simultaneously affect the Stock Price .

Background/Context In this paper we draw on an intersectional critical framework to analyze and account for the simultaneous interworkings of race and dis/ability. Specifically, we draw on this framework to examine two aims of modern science: (a) to identify distinct biological markers of race and (b) to locate biological and neurological origins of Learning Disabilities (LD). These aims persist despite evidence that both race and LD are socially and politically constructed categories. Purpose/Objective By reviewing historical and contemporary attempts by researchers to locate race and LD as immutable features embodied by individuals, we reveal how the science behind these categories shares similar underlying systems of logic; both efforts attempt to locate social problems within bodies and illustrate what Samuels (2014) calls “fantasies of identification,” or culturally embedded desires to definitively identify and categorize bodies. Research Design This is a historical analysis Conclusions/Recommendations We assert the need to engage with intersectional analyses, not simply as demographic variables along the lines of identity categories, but as an analytical tool for uncovering underlying logics that undergird systems of oppression. Examining the shared scientific explanations of race and learning disabilities illuminates possibilities for rethinking key issues at the intersection of race and disability.

Organizations are facing many challenges to remain relevant in the face of new technology, emerging markets, and changing consumer behaviors. Many organizations look to become learning organizations with knowledge management strategies to leverage their knowledge assets and continuously innovate their strategies and products. However, organizations struggle to achieve success with knowledge management because their organizational culture does not support knowledge-sharing and must be adapted for this new behavior. Knowledge must flow through the organization, and so, therefore, these necessary behaviors must work within the existing corporate culture. Observations from a case study at a software company are discussed, and a new knowledge management model, the Knowledge Management Triangle, is introduced. The Knowledge Management Triangle is a simple model to explain and implement knowledge management within organizations and is customizable to work within the organization's culture to ensure the new knowledge management behaviors are appropriately adopted.

The focus of this chapter is on reporting the qualitative research in peer-reviewed journal articles. Researchers may publish the qualitative data in a standalone journal article, or combine quantitative and qualitative process evaluation data in the same article, or combine the qualitative and RCT research in the same article. Writing these articles can be challenging, even when focusing solely on the qualitative research. Researchers need to consider the number of articles to be published from the whole study, the focus of each article, selecting a journal, and communicating implications for the RCT. Guidance is offered on the key issues to report in journal articles that focus solely on the qualitative research undertaken with an RCT.

Increasingly, the construct of resilience has been used by social scientists and (social) policy makers in relation to individual resilience to economic hardship. There are a number of issues within the literature on the subject that are unresolved including: whether it is an attribute or a process; the extent to which resilience is a positive phenomenon; the extent to which individuals living in economic hardship have agency; and whether it is finite. The article unpacks these issues, drawing on qualitative data from a longitudinal study in Northern Ireland. It found resilience to be a negative experience for study participants, although they did exhibit a number of attributes that may be described as being positive. They were often unable to exercise ‘positive’, transformative agency, because the choices available were limited and pernicious in nature. The article concludes that as an analytical tool for exploring the experiences of people living in economic hardship, the construct of resilience is not helpful.
