Abstract:

Thesis (MPhil (Information Science))--Stellenbosch University, 2008.<br>The functions of management and leadership are not new to the business fraternity. Whilst these functions are as pervasive and ubiquitous as the corporate organizations themselves, the same cannot be said of the organizational successes emanating from these functions. These functions have been cited throughout literature as pivotal in the successful running of businesses. By the same token, they have also been cited as the major causes of failed businesses within the corporate landscape. This has been established thro

Abstract:

<p>Background: Today, an increased need to value patents is expressed in several different situations. For example, banks more frequently accept patents as collateral for loans and patents are being exchanged more often between companies. It is argued that a hindrance for the recognition of the value of patents, and other assets lacking physical form, is that the current methods of valuation are not developed for this type of assets. </p><p>Purpose: Our objective is to investigate the practical relevance of four theoretical valuation approaches in the context of patent valuation and to point o

Abstract:

This thesis argues for the need to answer the question how can we use critical theory to rethink the meta-theoretical foundations of facilitated conflict resolution. It draws on Jurgen Habermas' discourse ethics-based framework and a methodology of communicative rationality to articulate the foundations of a Critical Theory of Peace Practice. An illustrative example of the Oslo Channel, which led to the Declaration of Principles and Letters of Mutual Recognition between Israel and the PLO with the third- party facilitative assistance of Norwegians in 1993, sets the stage for exploring the exte

Abstract:

This thesis provides a critique of existing understandings of the Cold War in International Relations theory, and offers an alternative position. It rejects the conventional conceptual and temporal understanding of the Cold War, which assumes that the Cold War was, essentially, a political-military conflict between the United States and the Soviet Union that originated in the collapse of the wartime alliance after 1945. Using a method derived from historical materialism, in particular the parcellization of political power into the spheres of 'politics' and 'economics' that characterises capita

The central argument of this project is that meaningful and intelligible experience is conditioned by the determinate relationship between realms of reality, and that our humanity is grounded on the semiotic process of symbolic references, which is manifest in Charles S.

Abstract:

Much of the current disengagement literature focuses on the causes of an individual leaving a radical social group with the intention of countering fundamentalism and violent extremism. However, the link between the cause and the decision to disengage is unclear as one cause may facilitate disengagement for one member and not another. Minimal empirical research exists on the individual’s psychological experience of disengagement and the studies that have been done tend to focus on sole ideologies or group types. What is lacking in the field of disengagement is a broader understanding of the co

Abstract:

We analyze dynamic equilibria of a multiple markets model with sparsely allocated participants. An example of such a market is the secondary radio spectrum market. In the first chapter a general model is represented by an allocation of a good from sellers to buyers where purchases can only occur if a buyer and seller are linked or if a buyer is located in the seller's coverage area. First, we study the static part of the model and show an optimal auction design for price efficiency. Second, we assume a dynamic structure where buyers can reallocate and show sufficient conditions to reach equili

Abstract:

Approximation algorithms employing Monte Carlo methods, across application domains, often require as a subroutine the estimation of the mean of a random variable with support on [0,1]. One wishes to estimate this mean to within a user-specified error, using as few samples from the simulated distribution as possible. In the case that the mean being estimated is small, one is then interested in controlling the relative error of the estimate. We introduce a new (epsilon, delta) relative error approximation scheme for [0,1] random variables and provide a comparison of this algorithm's performance

Abstract:

The current research used a grounded theory approach (Charmaz, 2006) to explore the ways in which a small group of teachers working in mainstream schools constructed the term ‘mental health’ and how they responded to young people who may be experiencing ‘mental health’ problems. The findings indicated that four conceptual categories emerged from the data. One of the conceptual categories indicated that the teachers had two constructs of mental health, with one construct suggesting teachers felt mental health language was limiting for young people. Conversely, it was also found that mental heal

Abstract:

Analyses of the nature and structure of scientific theories have predominantly focused on formalisation. The Received View of scientific theories considers theories as axiomatised sets of sentences. In Hilbert-style formalisation theories are considered formal axiomatic calculi to which interpretation is supplied by a set of correspondence rules. The Received View has long been abandoned. The Semantic View of scientific theories also considers theories as formal systems. In the Semantic conception, a theory is identified with the class of intended models of the formal language, if the theory w

The quest for artistic perfection, through knowledge, was united with courtly principles and iconography, resulting in the raising of the status of the arts above the level of the mechanical.

Abstract:

<p>An effective Integration policy is important in Sweden while our government has decided and committed to be a country where everybody will be given the same opportunities. There is a greater awareness in today’s society of integration policy goals such as equal rights, responsibilities and opportunities for all. In a number of areas, however, the disparities between immigrants and Swedish-born citizens are still too large.</p><p>The Swedish Riksdag decided on integration policy in 1997. The main task for this thesis will be to examine the motive behind the Government's decision to revoke im

Abstract:

This study draws on theories of punishment (Cavadino and Dignan 2007), leadership (West-Burnham 2013), social rules, (Burns and Machado 2014) and resilience (Fredrikson and Branigan 2005) to develop an understanding of Pupil Referral Units (PRUs). PRUs came into being through statute in 1993. They were set up to provide formal educational settings for young people who had been excluded from school. LEAs have responsibility for the education and welfare of all children in their catchment areas, irrespective of which school they attend. If an exclusion occurs, the LEA is obliged to assume respon

Abstract:

The field of critical theory within organizational theory discusses different specific situations in a middle manager´s work life. The focus often lies within the private sector and a gap can be found in research in the public sector. Universities are among the most complex environments in the public sector, and the middle manager position, the prefect, becomes even more complex than in other organizations. The purpose of this paper is to look at the dilemmas and paradoxes that middle managers in higher education, handle as prefects. We aim to uncover the conflict between interests, values and

Full text

Abstract:

This research advocates a multi-method approach to bioarts praxis, reflexively and critically questioning the contemporary contexts that frame our engagement with nonhuman life. In doing so, the research aims to generate further community engagement with nonhuman life and the environment, and engender critical discourse on the implications of developing biotechnologies. Hegemonic institutions influence the way culture is produced and how information is constructed and understood. Habermas (1987) suggests that these institutions will inevitably influence the individual’s lifeworld as they shape

Abstract:

Le traité de rythmique de Francisco Salinas, seconde partie de son De Musica Libri Septem de 1577, est révélateur de tendances communes à l’ensemble du mouvement humaniste européen du XVIe siècle. En restituant une modélisation « à l’antique » du rythme musical, Salinas prétend résoudre les contradictions du système mensural en vigueur, dans l’économie des agencements de durées sonores organisées par une battue proportionnelle, et suit un impératif de simplification qui concerne également les autres sciences du nombre. Cette entreprise de recadrage épistémologique se double d’une valorisation

Abstract:

In this work were considered the maxima and minima structures. Where number of value is random and is distributed by negative binomial distribution. There were theorems that were improved in this work, that helped to find the limit distribute function of this standard structures. These theorems generalize propositions, when set size is geometric random number. Also, there was the concrete distribution analysis done and such distributions were chosen: exponential, general logistic and uniform.

Abstract:

Det är vida känt att psykisk ohälsa är ett aktuellt och ökande problem. Däremot finns det en grupp människor som är starkt knutna till detta fenomen, men som inte uppmärksammas - de anhöriga. Denna kvalitativa och fenomenologiska studie ämnar att skildra hur det är att vara anhörig/informell vårdgivare till någon med psykisk ohälsa, vilka förväntningar de har på sig, samt hur de upplever samhällets stöd. Utifrån teorin om roller och stigma intervjuades tio anhöriga runt om i Sverige för att besvara studiens syfte och frågeställningar. Under analysen uppstod sju teman: upplevelse av vardag, att

Abstract:

This thesis reports results from a study that focuses on teachers’ professional development during an in-service training period. The aim is to analyse and describe how the teachers talk about and handle lesson content. The first question concerns changes in relation to a specific object of learning. The second question concerns how they relate to a theoretical framework and the third question concerns differences in the students’ learning outcome and if it can be understood in relation to the teachers’ development. The variation theory is the theoretical framework that is used for lesson plan

We study the asymptotic behavior of the quantization error for general information functions and prove results for distributions P with regular support. We characterize the information functions for which the uniform distribution on the set of prototypes converges weakly to P.

Bakgrund: Bipolär sjukdom orsakar ett stor lidande för individen med återkommande återfall i depression eller hypomani/mani. Omvårdnad som stödjer individen till att aktivt bedriva egenvård kan stärka individen till att bli mer självständig och aktiv i behandlingen av bipolär sjukdom. Det saknas en systematisk översikt över kvalitativa studier om individers erfarenheter av att genomföra egenvård vid bipolär sjukdom. Syfte: Belysa individers erfarenheter av att genomföra egenvård relaterat till bipolär sjukdom. Metod: Den kvalitativa metoden metaetnografi användes vid studien. Sökning i databas
