Schoolchildren of the COVID-19 Pandemic: Impact and Opportunities
Preface : This book is about organisational behaviour in the public sector. It adopts an explicitly critical perspective. ‘Critical’ does not denote a narrow political or ideological point of view but is understood as a wider concern with criticality in relation to theory, politics and – especially – practice. The book offers an alternative approach to the orthodoxy of mainstream texts in organisational behaviour and public management. It provides instead a text which is theoretically sceptical of the dominant unitarist and functionalist orthodoxies of organisational behaviour – that is, of perspectives which assume consensus and stability in the organisation and where conflict is seen as dysfunctional and damaging – and which provides a lively and timely coverage of current debates, informed throughout by an enquiring perspective on the real daily issues faced by those who work in public sector organisations, including local government, the NHS, education and other areas of public service.

Moving Spaces and Places
Abstract : This chapter examines the trends in published comparative and international education research from 2014 to 2019 with a special focus on 2019 publication in open access journals and by authors situated in the Global South. In particular, two trends from 2019 are (1) the increasing number of research publications in the field of comparative and international education that are being published in online, open access journals and (2) the representation among these research publications between authors situated in Global North versus Global South contexts. Evidence from the six years of data collection suggests that single country studies and qualitative methods continue to dominate published research in comparative and international education journals. 2019 data also show that there are significant different in the publication trends in subscription versus open access journals in the field, and that authors from the Global South are more likely to publish in open access journals, especially if they are female.

Public Value Co-Creation
Introduction : We are all aware that there is a substantial sense of one Self, which provides a core for our own existence. Yet within this experience, changes are evident which may or may not reflect or alter this sense of a single Self. It seems that one is at once a person with consistency across time and yet different and changing with each fresh experience. I have no reason to believe that this is a peculiar quirk of my private imagination – it is shared by all of us and is central to an understanding of people as persons. In this monograph, a specific point of view is put forward concerning persons and personal development. From the moment of birth (and probably before), the individual's potential for personal growth is evident. This point is derived from research and observational evidence which confirm each other. The infant, both from the mother's point of view and their own, has psychological as well as physical needs which must be met willingly in order that babies learn in time to differentiate themselves easily from the people who care for them.

ICT and Innovation in Teaching Learning Methods in Higher Education
Abstract : The 1990s ushered in the ‘third wave of democratisation’ (Huntington 1991), where authoritarian regimes had to re-structure their political system to embrace a much more liberal, inclusive and participatory politicking. The checks on the government machinery and inclusiveness were what will prevent tyranny, guarantee human rights and bring about development. While the dominant theory in the literature cites the fall of the Soviet Union as the reason for this wave, the importance of the domestic factors, emphasis on calls and protests of the indigenous citizens themselves for democracy cannot be under-emphasized. But the transition to democracy was not enough, as the need for institutionalization became the burden of many African states (Gazibo 2019). Foreign interventions in African states have then been meant to supplement domestic efforts in consolidating democracy. At best, democracy is the only system of government the human rights of citizens can be guaranteed (Peksen 2012). Thus, foreign influence on the continent has been justified from the perspective that it is needed to ensure the smooth running of democratic systems so citizens' human rights and freedoms will be protected (Gegout 2017).

Changing the Conventional University Classroom
Abstract : Persons from socioeconomically disadvantaged and minority group backgrounds have increased risk for developing both acute and chronic health conditions. Kidney disease is a prominent example. Diabetes and hypertension are chronic conditions with high prevalence among disadvantaged and minority persons, and these conditions are in turn closely associated with the development of both acute kidney injury (AKI) and chronic kidney disease (CKD). AKI is an abrupt decline in kidney function that typically requires patients to be supported by renal replacement therapy (RRT) in a critical care setting. CKD is defined by laboratory measured levels of kidney function damage and reduction. In advanced stages CKD may progress to kidney failure, and patient survival then depends on undergoing chronic dialysis treatment or receiving a successful kidney transplant.
