“…Hogben was an important figure in the work at the London School of Economics (LSE) to be noted below. He was appointed as Professor of Social Biology there in 1930, in preference to Fisher (Tabery and Sarkar, 2015). Fisher presently succeeded Karl Pearson as head of the department of eugenics at UCL in 1933.…”

An account is provided of the historical context of the work one of the best-known figures in British psychology in the 20th century, Hans Eysenck. Recently some of this has come under critical scrutiny, especially in relation to claims of data rigging in his model of smoking and morbidity, produced from the 1960s to the 1980s. The article places that controversy, and others associated with Eysenck, in the longer context of the shifting forms of epistemological and political legitimacy within British psychology in the past hundred years. Eysenck was both lionised and disparaged during his life and after his death. This account explores that ambiguity in order to discern the challenge for British psychology to maintain disciplinary coherence. An understanding of this fluxing historical picture is guided by the meta-theoretical resource of critical realism.

“…The writer of the field of finance who received more public attention who expressly discussed the importance of finance and corporations was Fisher in 1930. Fisher wrote about separation theory, known as Fisher Separation Theorem which suggests that individual (Tabery & Sarkar, 2015) investment decisions can be made independent of individual consumption patterns over a period of time. Then Cowles in 1932 and Working (1948) were two experts who tried to research about stock price movements over long time that showed that stock prices move randomly.…”

Financial research issues and trends continue to evolve today. Financial management discusses several issues that became a financial attraction in the 1950s related to corporate funding sources. The issue is emphasized on debt funding sources, maturity period extensions, forms of financial assets, increased use of financing sources. The issue continues to grow to this day. Financial management is always concerned with the company’s financial issues that address the financial aspects of the company and also the administrative side during the initial development of the company. Bookkeeping problems are related to the difference between capital and revenue, the administrative side resulting from growth and expansion, and of course financial adjustments are needed to strengthen companies that are experiencing financial difficulties. The problems raised in this study are how the development of financial management theory and the development of financial research until now, as well as how the application of financial management theory to financial research. This research uses qualitative methods. Data collection is carried out by data collection methods in qualitative research, namely observation, visual analysis, and literature study. The development of financial management theories as well as types of financial management research emerged gradually. The development of financial management theory has a history of financial thought can be grouped into several concepts that have their own developments. The foundations of modern financial theory stem from the application of neoclassical economic theory which already uses the assumption that individuals behave rationally. Until the1970s, the application of financial theory was growing up to the current concept, namely behavioral finance.

Until recently the British zoologist Lancelot Hogben (1895-1975) has usually appeared as a campaigning socialist, an anti-eugenicist or a popularizer of science in the literature. The focus has mainly been on Hogben after he became a professor of social biology at the London School of Economics in 1930. This paper focuses on Hogben's life in the 1920s. Early in the decade, while based in London, he focused on cytology, but in 1922, after moving to Edinburgh, he turned his focus on experimental zoology, first concentrating on vertebrate endocrinology and later moving over to the comparative physiology of invertebrate muscle. In the early 1920s Hogben played an active role in the development of experimental zoology in Britain. As such he was a fearless critic of evolutionary and metaphysical speculations. But in this period Hogben's career prospects were seriously hampered by his confrontational nature and serious depression. As a result he was forced to leave Britain in 1925. He first accepted a position in Canada and in the period 1927-1930 he was a professor of zoology in South Africa. This paper will also add crucial new material to James Tabery's recent discussion of the history behind Hogben's ideas about the interaction of heredity and environment in individual development. In addition a previously unknown Lamarckian controversy will be discussed.
