Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to examine women composers’ use of online communities of practice (CoP) to negotiate the traditionally masculine space of music composition while operating outside its hierarchical structures.
Design/methodology/approach
The authors employed a mixed methods approach consisting of an online survey (n=225) followed by 27 semi-structured in-depth interviews with female composers to explore the concept and use of CoP. Content analysis was used to analyze the survey responses and interpretative phenomenological analysis was used to interpret respondents’ lived experiences as relayed in the interviews.
Findings
The findings reveal that the online environment can be a supportive and safe space for female composers to connect with others and find support, feedback and mentorship, increase their visibility and develop career agency through learning and knowledge acquisition. CoP emerged as an alternative approach to career development for practicing female music workers and as a tool which could circumvent some of the enduring gendered challenges.
Originality/value
The findings suggest that online CoP can have a positive impact on the career development and sustainability of women in male-dominated sectors such as composition.

Abstract
Purpose – The chapter provides an exposition both of Hayek's causal theory of the mind (especially as applied to intentionality) and of Popper's critique of causal theories, argues that Hayek fails successfully to rebut Popper's critique, and shows how the dispute between Hayek and Popper is relevant to controversies in contemporary philosophy of mind.
Methodology/approach –The chapter elucidates Hayek's ideas and Popper's by situating them within the history of the mind/body problem and comparing them to the views of contemporary philosophers like Fred Dretske, Jerry Fodor, and Hilary Putnam.
Findings – Popper's critique has yet to be answered, either by Hayek or by contemporary causal theorists.
Originality/value of the chapter –The chapter calls attention to some important but neglected ideas of Hayek and Popper and examines some of their as-yet-unpublished writings.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explain the requirements of SEC Rule 613 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which requires national securities exchanges and FINRA jointly to develop a national market system plan (NMS Plan) that provides for the creation, implementation and maintenance of a consolidated order tracking system (“consolidated order trail” or “CAT”) as well as the creation of a central repository responsible for the receipt, consolidation, and retention of all order and quote information for NMS securities.
Design/methodology/approach
The paper discusses weaknesses of current, multiple order tracking systems; core features of the framework adopted by the SEC to create a CAT, including the creation of a central repository; key considerations for market participants, including data reporting methods and funding the creation, implementation and maintenance of the CAT; timing and phased implementation of the NMS Plan; security and order types covered by the CAT; persons required to report information to the central repository; reportable events and CAT data elements; timing and reporting to the central repository; ownership, governance and operation of the central repository; access to CAT data; parties required to comply with Rule 613e and the NMS Plan; and governance and operation of the NMS Plan.
Findings
Under the requirements of Rule 613, and through the NMS Plan that must be developed by the exchanges and FINRA, the CAT is intended to provide a comprehensive and uniform tracking mechanism for secondary market activity in all NMS securities.
Originality/value
The paper provides guidance by experienced financial services lawyers.

Abstract
THE article which we publish from the pen of Mr. L. Stanley Jast is the first of many which we hope will come from his pen, now that he has release from regular library duties. Anything that Mr. Jast has to say is said with originality even if the subject is not original; his quality has always been to give an independent and novel twist to almost everything he touches. We think our readers will find this to be so when he touches the important question of “The Library and Leisure.”

Abstract
BY the time these words appear the majority of those who attend Library Association Conferences will have made tentative arrangements for their visit to Margate in June. Already, we understand, adhesions are coming in as many in number as for any September conference, and, if this is so, the fact will reassure those who have doubts of the wisdom of the change from September to June. We give on other pages some outline of the programme and in Letters on Our Affairs are presented with a Study of the subjects of the papers. Here we can concentrate upon one or two important points.

Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to describe issues clinicians encounter when delivering cognitive analytic therapy (CAT) within a high secure hospital (HSH).
Design/methodology/approach
Focus groups were conducted with six staff using a semi‐structured interview. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
Findings
Five main themes emerged from the data. These were: concerns around therapy and the therapeutic relationship; issues with CAT stages and structure; issues around CAT tools; issues connected with the HSH setting; and concerns about integrating CAT and teamwork. Clinicians addressed these issues by helping others understand therapeutic relationships and adapting CAT tools and structure.
Research implications
It is recommended that HSH managers ensure that therapists are fully supported and subsidiary therapy staff members are appropriately trained. Additionally, the Association for Cognitive Analytic Therapy (ACAT) and CAT training organizations need to demonstrate sensitivity to the HSH context and fully prepare trainees for forensic work.
Originality/value
This paper describes how clinicians effectively address challenges when delivering CAT and makes recommendations for future delivery.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to explore service-users’ hopes and expectations of a psychologically informed planned environment (PIPE) located in the high-security prison estate.
Design/methodology/approach
A semi-structured interview was used to explore the hopes and expectations of five male Category A PIPE prisoners. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and thematic analysis was used to analyse the data.
Findings
Analysis resulted in two overall themes: “Progression” and “Being Part of a Community”. Relevant sub-themes were considered to portray processes within these two wider themes.
Practical implications
In applying these findings to practice, this study provides evidence that places value on the current referral process which ascertains prisoners’ motivations to attend the PIPE.
Originality/value
This is the first known study that explores service-users’ hopes and expectations of the pilot PIPE service. The PIPEs are included within the recently introduced Offender Personality Disorder Pathway.
