Nursing and nurses have become reliant on qualitative methods to understand the meaning of nursing care, and many nurse researchers use Heideggerian Interpretivist phenomenology approaches. Often these nurses are unaware of Martin Heidegger's role in the German National Socialist Party of the 1930s and his allegiance to fascist ideology. We ask: can a bad person have good ideas? In line with pragmatic thinkers such as Richard Rorty, we argue that instead of value judgements on people and their ideas, nurses should consider ideas as a product of a historical/social and political time and space. In urging a critical political engagement, we argue for a Husserlian approach. In opposition to Heidegger's interpretivist phenomenology approach, in which the hegemony of the day is integral to the phenomena being studied, we propose that a more expressive, collaborative engagement using Husserlian descriptive phenomenology approach would serve better in encouraging a more critical engagement with how ideas are used by groups of people, how some groups might be advantaged and others disadvantaged. Our conclusion is that the separation of ideas from political and social context is dangerous, and nurses, including nurse researchers, must understand how their research ideas and methods influence and are influenced by political agendas.

THE 1987 FIJIAN GENERAL ELECTION AND THE SUBSEQUENT MILITARY COUPS ARE INEXTRICABLY LINKED AND REQUIRE A FRAMEWORK FOR ANALYSIS THAT INCORPORATES ELECTORAL GEOGRAPHY WITHIN A BROADER POLITICAL GEOGRAPHY FRAMEWORK. TAYLOR'S REVISED MODEL OF ELECTORAL GEOGRAPHY PROVIDES SUCH A FRAMEWORK. IT ALLOWS FOR THE ANALYSIS OF TWO DISTINCT PROCESSES THAT ARE FUNDAMENTAL TO ANY ELECTORAL SYSTEM: THE GEOGRAPHY OF SUPPORT AND THE GEOGRAPHY OF POWER.

Production responsiveness refers to the ability of a production system to achieve its operational goals in the presence of supplier, internal and customer disturbances, where disturbances are those sources of change which occur independently of the system's intentions. A set of audit tools for assessing the responsiveness of production operations is being prepared as part of an EPSRC funded investigation. These tools are based on the idea that the ability to respond is linked to: the nature of the disturbances or changes requiring a response; their impact on production goals; and the inherent response capabilities of the operation. These response capabilities include information gathering and processing (to detect disturbances and production conditions), decision processes (which initiate system responses to disturbances) and various types of process flexibilities and buffers (which provide the physical means of dealing with disturbances). The paper discusses concepts and issues associated with production responsiveness, describes the audit tools that have been developed and illustrates their use in the context of a steel manufacturing plant.
