Knowledge management for the provision of health information services is an under-developed field of research and therefore needs to be informed by applied research. The current study was conducted with healthcare professionals and general public in Australia to capture and distil their views in regard to a developing a web-based information service. Given the complex and dynamic context of healthcare sector, there is still a challenge in understanding the process of knowledge management in the healthcare environment. This research explores the use of Q methodology as an integrated and practical approach to the acquisition and sharing and creation of knowledge in an organizational health context. The aim is to scope the relevant issues to the problem at hand, which is to maintain and innovate better web based health care information system, from wide selection of stakeholders (qualitative). The second step of the process is to sort, group, rate and priorities these issues (quantitative), in order to give the health care information system designers relevant information in order of importance. The use of Q methodology is somewhat established in several social research communities including psychology, political science and health research. The current manual method of concourse can be difficult in demanding environments, such as, health care services. Thirty seven health care participants successfully sorted 50 different statements about their views on web-based health information systems. The data analysis shows that a 4-factor solution is capable to explain this unique phenomenon. The overall conclusion of this particular study relies in its unique contribution to the existing literature in the field of knowledge management and Q methodology.

Technological advances, availability of similar goods and easier ways of attaining knowledge in the marketplace make the issues of innovation more important than ever before. Firms need innovation in order to survive in the competitive market and to enhance their competitiveness. Firms need various sources and knowledge to perform innovation activities. One way to reach these sources is knowledge transfer and knowledge sharing. Knowledge transfer can be achieved in various ways, for example through networks. The objective of this paper is to reveal the relationship between knowledge transfer and networks with technology and innovation in the hotel sector in the Antalya Province. The results of the analysis support that there is a significant relationship between technology and innovation with knowledge transfer and networks.

As in other sectors, tourism is an industry where competition is intense. Therefore, the countries, gaining the majority of their national income from tourism, develop tourism strategies and policies in order to achieve competitive advantage against their competitors and to sustain these advantages. Thus, the primary aim of this study is showing Turkey’s growth in terms of tourism and the markets that Turkey has more shares by using the shift share approach, developed by Esteban-Marquillas in order to measure the regional development. The evaluation is carried out in comparison with six countries (France, Germany, Italy, Malaysia, England and the United States) which are in top ten in terms of visitor numbers. With the results of the analysis, it is determined that in what areas Turkey and other studied countries have become specialized and in which markets they have become competitive.

This paper discusses findings from a survey designed for analyzing the availability of essential laboratory equipments for the teaching of Biology in some selected Govt. secondary schools of North Nazimabad Town, Karachi. This study had four research dimensions. 08 secondary schools and fifty Biology teachers were selected as a sample in the study for data collection. The laboratory equipments in each of the Govt. secondary schools were scored under four dimensions, (1) microscopes, (2) Slides, test tubes, and petri dishes,(3)Forceps, probes, and scalpels, (4) Beakers, flasks, and Bunsen burners. A questionnaire was used as a research instrument to collect the data. The collected data was analyzed by using a simple percentage statistics. The results highlighted five secondary schools all in North Nazimabad having essential laboratory equipments while the other three schools had inadequate equipments. The interpreted findings were discussed and appropriate recommendations were made in order to improve their equipment for teaching of Biology in North Nazimabad Town, Karachi.

In this research the proposed antenna was A novel design made out of (Q- slot) that fed by step impedance micro strip line design open mouth ended. The proposed antenna was intended to work at four bandwidth frequency groups meet the specifications of(DO,1xRTT-3G),(WiMAX-IEEE802.11e)and(WiMAX-IEEE802.16m) communications. The surface current distribution at resonant frequencies and the effect of varying the dimensions of parameters had been studied carefully in this research to enhanced the performance of resonant frequency. Also the radiation patterns in (E-plane) and (H-plane) for the antenna had been studied and compared with the equations for slot antennas .
