Rethinking GLAMs as commons: a conceptual framework

In this paper, we reflect on ‘new commons’ theory and elaborate on the ontology of memory institutions with the aim to develop a comprehensive conceptual framework for ‘commons-oriented’ GLAMs (Galleries, Libraries, Archives and Museums). In doing so, we propose an alternative for governing and managing cultural heritage against a backdrop of limited public funding and pressures for developing memory institutions into more inclusive, participatory and ‘entrepreneurial’ organisations. Our theoretical analysis is grounded in the review of the extant literature, including both the ‘Ostromian’ and ‘Autonomist’ schools of thought, drawing particularly on the new commons (urban, digital, cultural/heritage commons) to inform our framework. The conceptual schema we present here is adapted to fit with the idiosyncrasies of the sector, describing the functioning of commoning practices in GLAMs. Such a framework is critical for navigating future research and devising workable solutions to address current challenges for memory institutions in Europe.

The Use of Scaffolding in Physics Learning: A Systematic Review

The scaffolding strategy has been researched in 17 countries around the world regarding its effectiveness in helping improve students' competence in learning. This strategy is implemented directly with the learning model and integrated into physics learning media. The purpose of this study is to provide a description of research trends, methods, and findings on the use of scaffolding in the physics learning process. Systematic Literature Review (SLR) is the method of this research. Article data in the last 6 years (2018–2023) was collected from the Scopus database with the help of the Publish or Perish (PoP) 7 program and the Science Direct database. There were 52 articles selected using the PRISMA technique. Future research has the opportunity to develop learning media that contain scaffolding strategies to support a meaningful physics learning process. The focus of future research can lead to increased learner independence and 21st century skills through scaffolding strategies implemented in various forms of learning media development.

This research aims to identify various models/methods/strategies and media that are effective in improving mathematical communication. This study uses the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) method with four stages, namely identification, scanning, eligibility, and inclusion. Harzing's Publish or Perish (PoP) is used to search for required research references. The research results found 30 publications regarding efforts to improve mathematical communication skills in schools and universities. Realistic Mathematic Education (RME), cooperative learning models, and the use of media are the methods most widely used in efforts to improve mathematical communication skills. Quantum learning models/methods, PBL, generative learning models, CBL, BBL, discovery, inquiry, and SSCS can also be chosen as alternatives in efforts to improve mathematical communication skills. Middle school level and geometry materials are most often used by researchers in efforts to improve mathematical communication. The results of this research can be a reference for teachers to choose the right model/method/strategy and media to improve mathematical communication skills in pupils and students.

Why do organizations take political stances? A review of reasons and risks

AbstractOrganizations and their leaders have begun publicly signaling political values in candidate endorsements, statements, and advertisements, yet political action often has negative organizational consequences, including lower public support, financial costs, and reduced trust. We review the costs of organizational politicization, moderators of those costs (such as ideological alignment and size of the organization), and potential reasons why leaders take political action. Scholars often attribute political action to public pressure to “take a stand”, but this public pressure may be misunderstood. Members of the public who want organizations to take political stances desire particular stances to be made in particular ways, tend to believe in the superiority of their own values, and are relatively likely to boycott businesses for political reasons. Catering to these individuals could lead to the accumulation of supporters who are especially politically zealous and likely to punish perceived political missteps. Demands to “take a stand” might seem like one unified call to action, but they may instead be a large set of directly conflicting demands. We make recommendations for future research to better understand leaders' reasons for political action and when, if ever, such actions support the interests of organizations and broader society.

Os protegidos de Ceres: produtores, moageiros e política cerealífera nos Açores (1923-1932)

This article departs from the economic and political context of the transition from the 1920s to the 1930s to study the evolution of the cereal policy in Azores. In this dynamic change process, agriculture, in general, and cereal farming, in particular, have been heavily targeted by public policies and governmental decisions. Our main purposes are the analysis of the organization, relations and implications of the activities of the agents involved in the commodity chain of wheat. It was concluded that the forms of public mobilization and pressure of the economic elites, in this case, the millers and agricultural landowners, on the political instances were not far from what occurred in the continental context, although the state has become the ultimate regulatory element.

Analysis of the world market of waste management

This paper provides an overview of the solid waste management market, which is the object of the study, including the processes of collection, transportation, utilization and recycling, supervision and monitoring of these processes. The volume and dynamics of the global waste management market in 2023 and its forecasting until 2033 are considered. The problem solved in the article is to identify the key factors of influence and interconnection on the development of waste management market components to determine the directions of an effective sustainable development policy. The author analyzes the methods of waste management in different European countries and identifies the key factors influencing the market dynamics: the effects of urbanization, environmental regulations, waste-to-energy technologies, circular economy initiatives, smart waste management systems, increased waste recycling, and the development of green infrastructure. It is determined that the growing awareness of environmental problems and increasing public pressure are leading to an increase in government investment in the development of innovative technologies for effective waste management. It is established that the promotion of recycling infrastructure and the implementation of campaigns aimed at raising awareness among the population leads to an increase in the importance of responsible waste management, the introduction of public-private partnerships in the field of waste management and the development of green infrastructure. The market is analyzed by region, end user, and waste type. According to the regional analysis, North America has the largest market share, but Asia Pacific is showing the fastest growth. North America has a large waste management market due to its developed infrastructure and high level of environmental awareness. However, Asia-Pacific, particularly China and India, is emerging as a growth center due to rapid economic development, population growth, and rapid urbanization, indicating the potential for new waste management markets in this region. According to the analysis by waste type, industrial waste is the largest category, with the electronic segment showing dynamic growth. This analysis allows to forecast the market and trends in the waste management industry, which makes it possible to calculate costs and profits, scale global trends to Ukrainian realities, and offer promising investment opportunities, which is especially important in the times of recovery of Ukraine.

Ousted

Abstract Founder-CEOs may hold power in a corporation in myriad ways: through managerial control, by designating seats on the board, or by holding significant voting power, which can be amplified by dual-class structures with superior voting rights. The debate on control mechanisms such as dual- and multi-class stock structures, as well as concomitant concerns about the cult of founder-CEOs and their grip on managerial power, have been a central theme of corporate law and governance in an era of “founder-friendly” startup governance and tech company dominance of markets. Amid the twists and turns of this debate, we observe that a small but important point is missing: a substantial number of founder-CEOs have been ousted—forced or pushed to step down from the CEO role despite maintaining important indicia of control that, according to prevailing theory, empowers them to withstand such pressures. We argue that a variety of countervailing forces and factors can work to limit the durability of a founder-CEO’s power and may ultimately lead to their resignation under pressure even though they may hold significant or even controlling voting power. Among these forces are performance problems or poor financial position of the company or its stock value, legal concerns, employee and public pressure, as well as personal motivations and struggles. A founder-CEO who faces strong opposition and adverse effects on the company’s performance is often better off stepping down than attempting to maintain managerial control. Further, we explore the limits of these forces on powerful founder-CEOs—they can only do so much to serve as guardrails against voting control and they exist in a particular moment. Ousting can be temporary, and founder-CEOs can find their way back to the throne or see a rebirth in new ventures. Finally, we examine how an appreciation of these forces and their limits can shed new light on why public investors might be willing to accept multi-class structures in venture-backed startup IPOs.

Platform work and traditional employee protection: The need for alternative legal approaches

Paid work via digital platforms (so-called crowd work and gig work) is gaining in importance in Europe. Platform workers often suffer poor working conditions. Most platform companies treat crowd and gig workers as self-employed or independent contractors and, thus, normally protective labour laws do not apply. In response, initiatives have been taken through case law and legislation to extend the reach of the traditional employmentship to platform work. For example, the German Federal Labour Court ( Bundesarbeitsgericht) reclassified and treated platform workers as employees in high-profile rulings, which are discussed in more detail below. The recently adopted EU Directive on Platform Work enshrines a legal presumption of employment for platform workers. Regulations have also recently been introduced in EU Member States that subsume platform workers under the concept of employee. However, as argued in this article, legal and judicial initiatives aimed at extending the employee status often have limits given the market dynamics and de facto adaptation and circumvention strategies used by platform businesses. Moreover, traditional labour law protection does not always seem to be suitable for tackling the complexities and peculiarities of the various types of platforms. The following theses therefore seem worth discussing: 1. Extending employee status to platform work appears promising if this is already anchored in the socio-economic reality and if a consensus can be reached between the social partners in this regard. An existing example is the Spanish riders’ law, which pursues a sectoral approach and was supported not only by trade union organisations but also by employers’ associations. 2. In addition, the creation of a substantial core of social rights for platform workers, irrespective of employment status, should be strongly focused and legally brought forward. The long-standing scholarly discussion about alternative regulatory approaches to forms of work in the legal grey area between dependent employment and self-employment should be revived and made fruitful for the new phenomenon of digital work platforms. 3. Thirdly, self-regulatory Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives by platform companies to improve working conditions should be encouraged by legislators and policymakers. As will be shown later in this article, a wide range of CSR efforts by the platforms already exist. In order to counter the risk of window dressing, the platform business operators’ own initiatives should be made effective through appropriate flanking legal measures and public pressure.

Corporate Governance as a Detector of Financial Statement Fraud: Systematic Literature Review

Financial reporting fraud occurs when someone misunderstands the financial condition of a company deliberately or not. One of the causes of financial statement fraud is poor governance. This study aims to describe the development of corporate governance research as a detector of financial statement fraud. The method used in this study is Systematic Literature Review. Publish or Perish (PoP) software is used to search for articles. Based on the synthesis results, there are five corporate governance structure mechanisms that can detect financial statement fraud: auditor, board of directors, internal control, shareholders, and performance. The synthesis results show that each corporate governance structure mechanism has not been able to work together to detect financial statement fraud. Therefore, there is a need for cooperation to minimize financial statement fraud. Future research is expected to use more data to increase understanding of how companies detect financial statement fraud by accessing e-resources such as Elsevier, Springer, Emerald Insight, and Wiley. Meanwhile, Scimago can be used to assess the quality and ranking of journals.

VOSviewer is also employed to map authorship and publication topic trends. This paper is innovative because it identifies trends and future research directions in data mining, specifically in association with AR-MBA. The findings show publication productivity, top authors, types of publications, annual topic trends within a decade, term distribution, most cited and most influential articles, and research gaps that can be opportunities for further research.

CASH WAQF FOR MICROFINANCE: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS

Introduction: Waqf is one of the Islamic social financial instruments, having the distinctive characteristic that waqf assets are donated voluntarily by the wakif and are permanently designated for social benefits. Waqf can be used for productive or commercial activities to generate profits by Sharia law. Cash waqf can play a role in supporting the overall development process, both in human resource development, as well as in economic and social development. This study tries to explore the role of cash waqf for microfinance which can subsequently help the people's economy. Methods: The research method used in this research is quantitative research with bibliometric analysis. Data sources collected secondary data obtained from the Google Scholar database. Data were obtained using Publish or Perish (POP) software and analyzed using VOSviewer software. Results: The results of this research show that, from data searches using the keywords "cash waqf", "microfinance" and "sharia microfinance" by limiting 500 papers in the 2010-2024 time period, the words "microfinance institutions" are the most frequent keywords, indicated by a darker color than other keywords. Conclusion and suggestion: Based on the results and analysis, it can be concluded that, from year to year, research on the topic of cash waqf for microfinance is most often used. However, research on the topic of cash waqf for Sharia microfinance is still limited. Therefore, future research can be carried out regarding cash waqf for sharia microfinance. Cash waqf plays an important role in supporting the overall development process, both in human resource development, as well as in economic and social development. The potential of cash waqf can be used as a means of economic empowerment for lower-middle-class communities with the role played by microfinance institutions.

How do local governments respond to central mandate in affordable housing policy? A qualitative comparative analysis of forty-one Chinese cities

Countries in developed and developing worlds have faced growing challenges to solve affordable housing shortages for lower-income households, prompting the adoption of various types of mandates to compel local implementation of affordable housing policy. A large volume of literature has focused on whether and how such top-down mandate indeed improves local supply of affordable housing. Insufficient understanding has been provided regarding the multi-faceted nature of local strategic responses to a top-down housing mandate. This research addresses this intellectual gap with an empirical study of local strategic behavior in response to the affordable housing mandate that was announced by the central government during the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (2011–2015). Through systematic content analysis of local news reports on affordable housing from 41 Chinese cities from various provinces, we describe the multiple-dimensional characteristics of local policy actions as cities were compelled to complied with the mandate. We further employ a fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis method to investigate how top-down political pressure combines with local policy interpretation, resource mobilization capacity, and local public pressure lead to more diverse policy actions in affordable housing. This research enriches the understanding of how city governments respond to top-down housing mandate, as well as offers valuable policy implications for affordable housing policy.
