The evolution of the radial gradient of oxygen abundance in spiral galaxies (2016)
Working Paper
Mollá, M., Díaz, Á., Ascasibar, Y., Gibson, B., Cavichia, O., Costa, R. D. D. D., & Maciel, W. J. The evolution of the radial gradient of oxygen abundance in spiral galaxies

The aim of this work is to present our new series of chemical evolution models computed for spiral and low mass galaxies of different total masses and star formation efficiencies. We analyze the results of models, in particular the evolution of the r... Read More about The evolution of the radial gradient of oxygen abundance in spiral galaxies.

Community environmental management (CEM) involves achieving environmental objectives through the facilitation of community partnerships, local dialogues, consultations and participative decision making. This is increasingly seen as a solution to some... Read More about Systemic evaluation of a community environmental management programme.

Systemic lean intervention: enhancing lean with community operational research (2016)
Working Paper
Ufua, D. E., Papadopoulos, T., & Midgley, G. Systemic lean intervention: enhancing lean with community operational research

This paper discusses how the theory and methodology of Community OR can enhance Lean initiatives. We argue that Lean practice can benefit from going beyond just the involvement of organizational stakeholders: local communities can be swept into the p...

Moving beyond value conflicts : systemic problem structuring in action (2016)
Working Paper
Midgley, G. Moving beyond value conflicts : systemic problem structuring in action

Value conflicts can become entrenched in a destructive pattern of mutual stigmatization, which inhibits the emergence of new understandings of the situation and actions for improvement. In extreme cases, such patterns can even lead to violence. This... Read More about Moving beyond value conflicts : systemic problem structuring in action.
