Full textUniversity rankings have become more popular and represents an emergent topic (Hazelkorn, 2011; Dill, 2005; Albach, 2012; Tomàs Folch & Castro,2015) .Consequently, this research study the role of rankings in the marketing strategy four metropolitan Catalan universities and how this universities apply their international positions through their official webpage for answering this questions: • How do these Catalan universities use their rankings positions in their marketing strategies for better competing? • What are the outcomes for the 4 mentioned Catalan universities, by highlighting their rankings positions through their official website? General objective of this study is to analyze, the role of rankings and to describe how effectively the website indicators such as: technical, marketing and rankings have been applied by those mentioned Catalan universities in their official website for burnishing their images among others as the main instruments for competing in the global markets. The methodology of this study is a mixed combination of both qualitative and quantitative methods. It is about studying the role of rankings in the marketing strategy of the mentioned Catalan university and how universities implement their international ranking position through their website for better presentation and manifestation. To do this, three instruments will be applied: a web analysis guideline, interviews with communication and promotion department of each Catalan universities and a questionnaire of 558 PhD and master students. The responses of majority of students show that most of the students have made their selection of their university, based on the rankings position. Universities with a better rankings position could attract more elite students. In addition, universities that have the web page with the best design and more notifications of rankings could attract and get more students and researchers than other universities. However, it is observable that the PhD students regarded the importance of rankings more than the Master students. Finally, according to the responses and interviews, it has been reached to this conclusion that now a day; rankings play a very important role between the universities. The ranking provides and manifest information to the public, students, elites, researchers. Therefore, the marketing strategies is involved with the design and rankings positions of the universities in their webpage which play a very important role in the university management.

Full textMpigi District is a rural district in Uganda with high maternal morbidity and mortality. While most pregnant women in Uganda attend antenatal clinics, few ultimately deliver their babies in a health facility. Interventions have not achieved increased utilisation of maternal services. A review of maternal determinants and factors associated with health facility delivery is the focus of this study. To determine the reasons why women deliver in health facilities; to identify the maternal determinants or factors associated with health facility delivery; and to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of women who deliver in health facilities. This quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study of 257 women who delivered in the Mpigi District in 2008/2009 used face-to-face interviews at which a questionnaire was administered. Women delivered in health facilities because they expected a safe delivery. Ten factors were found to be significantly associated with a higher possibility of health facility delivery: eight or more years of education (P=0.002); previous health facility delivery (P<0.0001); first delivery in a health facility (P<0.0001); no history of a non-health facility delivery (P <0.0001); more than 50% of deliveries in a health facility (P=0.007); three or more antenatal care visits (P=0.031); above-average socio-economic status (P=0.016); living in a household of three or fewer individuals (P=0.028); living within 30 minutes? travel time of a health facility (P=0.007); and history of contraceptive use (P=0.046). These are the maternal determinants of health facility delivery in this rural setting. The mothers that delivered in health facilities were 15 and 29 years old (85.2%), either married or cohabiting (77.5%), had completed eight years or more of formal education (53.5%), lived within a radius of up to 30 minutes? journey from a health facility (67.2%) and lived in a household of four or more individuals (76.0%). This study shows that there are specific maternal characteristics (sociodemographic descriptors) that are associated with increased possibility of health facility delivery.

Full textThis study focuses on the Langa Enrichment Programme an educational support programme for black students studying under the Department of Education and Training in the Cape Peninsula. The study aimed to determine students' reasons for attending the programme, their perceptions of its strengths and weaknesses and their recommendations for improvements. Student expectations of the programme and reasons for the high dropout rate especially amongst Standard Nine and female students were explored. To contextualise the study and to give further insights into student views a brief summary of the apartheid education crisis is given. Educational support programmes are reviewed as is liberalism's response to the crisis in education and the history and culture of the South African Institute of Race Relations. The methodology used was two-fold: self-administered questionnaires to 126 Standard 10 Mathematics students and a series of focus group interviews with small groups of students. The findings may be summed up as follows. Students were generally positive towards the teachers, teaching methods and administration of the programme. They requested that teachers should teach and complete the syllabus, emphasizing exam questions, revision and scientific experiments, and explore alternative small group teaching with critical discussions. Students also requested a comprehensive career guidance programme, bursary information and increased financial assistance. Students expressed a reluctance to pay fees and this, coupled with increasing requests for financial and educational supp01t, raises the issue of welfarism on the programme. Reasons for the high dropout rate amongst Standard Nines included that they write an internal examination. Social pressures from boyfriends and peer groups and regarding clothes were given as reasons for female students dropping out of the programme. The students appear to determine the direction of the school in that as a result of their demands the programme has changed from an enrichment programme to a compensatory one. Recommendations in the concluding chapter of this study are that the Enrichment Programme should draw up clearer policy guidelines in conjunction with staff and students; liaison with DET secondary schools, tertiary institutions and other enrichment programmes should be improved; career guidance programmes linked to bursary information should be implemented; bursaries and other incentives should be linked to attendance and academic performance on the programme; a full time co-ordinator should be employed.

Report of a community research process undertaken by the International Centre for Participation Studies, University of Bradford and Sharing Voices (Bradford)." International Centre for Participation Studies, 2005. http://hdl.handle.net/10454/3798.
Full textThe International Centre for Participation Studies and Sharing Voices Bradford (for information on these organisations, see Appendices 3 and 4) maintain that participation is an important part of a healthy democracy, with benefits for all. However, participation can be anything from empowering to tokenistic, and must be critically examined if we are to understand how to use it effectively. This paper considers the contribution of participation to improved service delivery in the health service. For beneficiaries, participation can be about ownership and responsibility for the services we use, as well as rights and the chance to express what we want from them. For service providers, participation is widely recognised as an effective way of tailoring services to the needs of the different communities they serve. The NHS and other service providers have made great strides in developing mechanisms for participation by service users. However, these do not always reach all sections of the community. Many individuals feel sceptical about getting involved, unconvinced that their contribution could make a real difference. Through the Participation ¿ Why Bother? workshops, we set out to explore these feelings, to reflect on perceived barriers and identify changes that might help overcome them. The aim was not to look at the substance of service delivery issues, but to try and work out how the process of involving people in decision-making in the NHS could be improved, to make it easier for voices from Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities to be heard.

Milandri, Laura Elise. "Bridging death: grief and liminality in the Johannesburg mortuary." Thesis, 2017. http://hdl.handle.net/10539/23029.
Full textEvery society must accommodate death. For this reason, the mortuary provides a vital service in the twenty-first century city, as it caters for the effects of unexpected death on individuals and society. In Johannesburg, South Africa, the city’s main mortuary currently functions in outdated and insufficient facilities, even though this urban centre has one of the highest death rates on the continent. An exploration of the Johannesburg Mortuary’s physical context and urban history reveals that this area remains fundamental to Johannesburg City’s health infrastructure and understanding of unnatural death. In addition, a theory study explores the influential ideas surrounding the mortuary typology at large. Here, three aspects are considered: the institutional role, the emotional role, and the spiritual role of the mortuary. Although the important medical and legal needs of state are acknowledged, this paper argues that the mortuary must also cater for the emotions of mourners and mortuary employees. In addition, the mortuary must seek to address death’s spiritual significance through an architectural expression of “liminality,” a concept that represents the transitional moment of death. Equipped with an understanding of the Johannesburg Mortuary’s physical, historic and theoretical contexts, this paper pursues an architectural response. The project’s final design represents the findings of this paper’s theory investigation, as applied to the chosen study site in Braamfontein, Johannesburg. Instead of perceiving the mortuary as an institutional barrier, the mortuary is designed as a bridge; the living are linked to the dead while they are held in a state of transition.

Many social issues in Taiwan and most partly other countries worldwide are Largely derived for low birth rate and the increase in the proportion of the elderly in the population With the retirement of baby-boomers. For the elderly who own the realty but are cash poor , reverse mortgages loan , a means where they can leave the realty as a mortgage with the financial institutions instead of moving out just like equity release products allow retirees to convert their housing wealth into liquid assets while staying in their home, is an option to get cash flow that they needed every day to cover basic needs. The Modified Delphi Method expert questionnaire is used in this study discussing the importance of factors of risks in relation to reverse mortgages loan that financial institutions take charge of. Exports consider the collateral was choicest and the value of the collateral is the most important of all factors of risks, followed by the liquidity of realty by public sold, expected return of the realty to increase or decrease、morality and fraud are tied for third. According logical deduction, the graph shows how financial institutions make reverse mortgages loan work and how estimated value of collaterals is related to Maximum Claimed Amount the risks that financial institutions have to afford.Estimated value of collaterals comes from Maximum Claimed Amount and the risks that financial institutions take. The risks that financial institutions afford involve costs and profits. That estimated value of collateral times the β of risks is the risks that financial institutions afford. Reverse mortgages loan is nothing of boost in income for elderly older who own the house–rich but cash–poor.It is not a bad idea to get a leg up on the house–purchasing though mortgage when we are young. By the time we don`t have a nest egg to retire on, putting Housing Endowment might be a financial means to live a comfortable in the golden years.

The research was targeted at the period from January 2007 to December 2010, which was further separated into 8 periods, six months each, to aim at the time of finan-cial tsunami during second half of 2008 to second half of 2009. The focus of this re-search is to explore major financial factors which influenced derivatives hedge transac-tions undertaken by listed electronics companies in Taiwan, and the relation between major financial factors and various risks & hedge tools. Observing from studies in the past, the incentives for companies to undertake de-rivatives hedge consist of company size, risk exposure, financial cost, and expansionary investment opportunities. The main finding in this paper is that, the major risk being hedged was fluctuation of currency exchange rates, and the major hedge instrument was forward contract for Taiwanese listed companies. Moreover, this paper used independ-ent samples for t-test, Logistic regression analysis and Multinomial Logistic regression analysis, to explore the incentives & purposes undertaking derivatives hedge and hedge instruments chosen by Taiwanese listed electronic companies, which can be reference to companies for efficient derivatives hedge. The empirical results of this study by independent sample t-test results showed that hedgers have higher turnover, export ratios, debt ratios, revenue growth rates, research expenses; and lower interest coverage ratios as well as gross margins. The empirical re-sults of this study by Logistic regression analysis showed that for electronic companies during the selected period, the higher the turnover, export ratios, and debt ratios, the more possible to hedge by derivatives. This also indicated that the larger the company sizes and risk exposure, the more incentives for companies to hedge. The empirical results of this study by Multinomial Logistic regression analysis showed that company size, risk exposure and financial cost are main factors to lead hedge decisions against various risks. The higher the turnover sizes, export ratios and debt ratios, the more likely that companies may choose option and swap contracts as hedge instruments. Furthermore, the higher the turnover sizes and export ratios, the more likely that companies may choose forward (future) and other contracts for hedge.
