title: Remaking the Connections: Marxism and the French Regulation School

authors: Neilson, David

subjects: overdetermination

abstract: The current Robert Boyer-led French Regulation School (FRS) characterizes the contemporary era as a diversity of national capitalisms. Boyer’s new approach displaces the original FRS focus on “models of development.” This article rallies against the current direction and re-engages the FRS’s earlier mid-range Marxist-influenced account of capitalist development. In particular, key concepts of “regulation” and “model of development” are reworked in the context of a revised account of the Fordist model of development. These concepts are then adapted to work up an outline of the “neoliberal model of development.”

title: State of the art on formal methods for interactive systems

authors: Oliveira, Raquel

subjects: Computer science

abstract: This chapter provides an overview of several formal approaches for the design, specification, and verification of interactive systems. For each approach presented, we describe how they support both modelling and verification activities. We also exemplify their use on a simple example in order to provide the reader with a better understanding of their basic concepts. It is important to note that this chapter is not self-contained and that the interested reader should get more details looking at the references provided. The chapter is organized to provide a historical perspective of the main contributions in the area of formal methods in the field of human–computer interaction. The approaches are presented in a semi-structured way identifying their contributions alongside a set of criteria. The chapter is concluded by a summary section organizing the various approaches in two summary tables reusing the criteria previously derived.

title: Critical reflection for researcher–community partnership effectiveness: The He Pikinga Waiora process evaluation tool guiding the implementation of chronic condition interventions in Indigenous communities

authors: Rarere, Moana

subjects: community health planning

abstract: Critically reflecting on researcher–community partnerships is a key component in implementing chronic condition interventions in Indigenous communities. This paper draws on the results and learnings from a process evaluation that measures how well two research–community partnerships have followed the He Pikinga Waiora (HPW) Implementation Framework while co-designing chronic condition interventions in primary care. The HPW framework is centred on Indigenous self-determination and knowledge surrounded by community engagement, cultural centredness, systems thinking and integrated knowledge translation. The evaluation included in-depth interviews and online surveys with 10 team members. The findings demonstrate that the HPW framework was followed well, with strengths particularly in community engagement and relationship building. Areas for improvement included systems thinking and integrated knowledge translation to support sustainability of the interventions. The need for partnerships to use process evaluation results to support critical reflection is asserted, which helps build strong trust and synergy, power sharing and effective and sustainable implementation practices. It is concluded that the HPW framework is well suited to evaluating implementation of health interventions in primary care as it assists in the facilitation of better collaboration between researchers and Indigenous communities, and encourages the implementation team to reflect on power and privilege.
