Background and Objectives: South African businesses are feeling the brunt of HIV & AIDS and experiencing losses in productivity and profitability due to high levels employee absenteeism, sick leave and disability as well as the added costs of recruiting and retraining. These losses have had a negative impact on the national economy and in response some employers have agreed to recognize that HIV is a business issue and introduced HIV workplace programmes. It is not really known whether the employees that are most at risk are actually testing through these employer funded programmes in order for them as well as the employer to gain maximum benefit. There is a need to identify barriers to HIV testing so that workplace programmes can design better targeting strategies. Methods: This study was a retrospective review and analysis of the 2005 records of tested and untested employees in 8 companies registered on the Direct AIDS Intervention (DAI) Programme. Results: Overall there was very poor utilization of Voluntary Counselling and Testing (VCT) services with an average uptake of 13%. Multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that race, sex, period of employment and sector were significantly associated with HIV testing while there was no association with age and marital status. In general, Blacks were more likely to be tested for HIV (OR(95%CI)1.47(1.24 – 1.74);p<0.0001) and so were Coloureds (OR(95%CI) 1.79;(1.48 – 2.18); p<0.0001) and Indians(OR(95%CI)1.35(1.04 – 1.76);p=0.03) when compared to Whites. Males were less likely to have an HIV test (OR 0.69;p<0.0001) compared to female employees. Those who had been employed for more than one year were more likely to test (OR(95%CI); 1.83(1.37 – 2.43);p<0.0001) than newer employees. Employees who worked within a manufacturing company were more likely to have an HIV test (OR(95%CI) 2.39(1.96 – 2.92);p<0.0001) and so were those employed by a health/research companies (OR(95%CI) 2.83(2.11 – 3.81);p<0.0001) compared to those that were employed by a services sector company. Conclusions: The low uptake of VCT in this study is attributed to stigma which if not addressed will to continue to have a negative impact on the success of workplace programmes. Employers need to develop specific education activities in order to protect employees from discrimination and thus build confidence in the independence of the programmes thereby encouraging utilization.

Four major findings emerged from this study. First, the majority of the teachers in the study supported the implementation of Curriculum 2005. Second, teachers had varying levels of understanding of the Curriculum 2005 policy. Third, teachers lacked preparation for implementation because comprehensive staff development opportunities were not available. Fourth, structural problems relative to fiscal resources and a flawed policy development process hindered teachers' understanding and implementation of Curriculum 2005. The findings revealed there is great teacher support for the implementation of Curriculum 2005 (OBE). The teachers believed Curriculum 2005 (OBE) has the potential of changing policy direction in education for the black majority students who received a poor quality of education prior to its implementation. The findings also revealed that teachers' varying levels of understanding of the Curriculum 2005 policy initiative are due to a lack of (a) quality teacher preparation, (b) effective staff development, (c) financial resources, and (d) effective policy development and implementation. These findings partly explain the teachers lack of understanding of Curriculum 2005 (OBE) and their failure to implement it. Two major conclusions were drawn from this study. First, the variations in the levels of support and understanding of Curriculum 2005 (OBE) among primary school teachers in Atteridgeville and Saulsville resulted mainly from a lack of quality teacher preparation before the introduction of Curriculum 2005 (OBE) and effective staff development during the implementation of Curriculum 2005 (OBE). / 2031-01-01

A dissertação (...) tem por objecto de estudo o noticiário político dos quatro principais títulos da imprensa diária portuguesa de âmbito nacional e generalista, tendo em conta o papel das fontes de informação na respectiva produção noticiosa. Em concreto, a investigação tipifica as fontes presentes no noticiário político dos jornais seleccionados, afere o peso relativo de cada um dos tipos de fontes, identifica os meios de transmissão de informação aos media e caracteriza os graus de confidencialidade adoptados nesta tarefa. Correio da Manhã, Diário de Notícias, Jornal de Notícias e Público constituem os títulos em análise na dissertação, incidindo a pesquisa sobre uma amostra de notícias que resultou da selecção, aleatória e interpolada, de um dia por cada semana dos meses que o estudo contempla. Desenvolveu-se, posteriormente, um processo de aferição nominal e percentual das fontes presentes na massa noticiosa recolhida nos anos 1990, 1995, 2000 e 2005. A investigação abrange, exclusivamente, as secções denominadas por «Política» ou «Nacional» dos quatro títulos referidos, não incluindo, por conseguinte, todas as outras áreas editoriais que os jornais normalmente comportam. Além disso, o estudo contempla apenas dois géneros jornalísticos: a notícia e a reportagem. Deve acrescentar-se que, dentro destes dois géneros, só foram analisadas as chamadas hard news.

Doctorado en filosofía con mención en estética y teoría dle arte) / Esta tesis consiste en una investigación de carácter interdisciplinario acerca de la relación entre tiempo histórico, tiempo litúrgico y tiempo musical, a partir de los planteamientos de Paul Ricoeur en Tiempo y narración y en función de una obra contemporánea chilena particular, la Misa de Chilenía “En lo humano lo divino” de Fidel Sepúlveda y Fernando Carrasco. Para ello se recurre a un marco teórico amplio y “polifónico” que, además de Ricoeur, incluye principalmente aportes filosóficos, teológicos, antropológicos, históricos, estéticos y musicológicos con el fin de explicitar las condicionantes culturales que inciden en un trabajo de esta índole, exponer los principales hitos de la reflexión sobre el tiempo musical y mostrar el rito de la misa y la música como modalidades de narración al aplicar los conceptos de trama, mimesis y transtextualidad. Sobre esta base se muestra el vínculo entre palabra y sonido musical en el caso de la configuración temporal de obras musicales vocales y se expone la articulación entre tiempo musical y otros tiempos como posibilidad de mediación temporal en tanto tiempo narrado en el caso general de la misa musical y en el caso particular de la Misa de Chilenía. El resultado de esta investigación conduce a la formulación de la noción de escucha desdoblada o escucha al cuadrado como vivencia peculiar con esta obra músicopoética, la que a su vez nos conduce a la reflexión sobre el tiempo, la música, el sentido y la identidad.

Detta examensarbete är en kvantitativ attitydundersökning på gymnasieskolan om könsuppdelningen inom idrott och dess koppling till värderingar i såväl skola som övriga samhället. Syftet med arbetet är att undersöka hur gymnasieelever och lärare förhåller sig och tänker om idrott och kön och utifrån det formulera didaktiska ställningstaganden i lärarrollen. Informationen samlades in med hjälp av en tresidig enkät med 25 ettvalsfrågor och 3 öppna frågor på fyra olika gymnasieskolor i Mellansverige. Totalt svarade 234 personer på enkäten varav 220 elever och 14 lärare. Enkätresultatet indikerar att könsuppdelningen inom idrott delvis saknar grund dvs. den är inte bara prestationsmässigt motiverad utan också ett uttryck – och ett starkt fäste – för genussystemet i samhället. Det indikerar också att majoriteten av både män och kvinnor anser att kvinnor och män kan tävla tillsammans i golf, skytte, ridsport, curling, bowling, bordtennis, tennis, biljard, skidor, gymnastik, motorsport, schack, segling, slalom och bågskytte. Utifrån detta gör författaren det didaktiska ställningstagandet: Det är viktigt att inte glömma bort eller osynliggöra idrotten när man pratar om genus och jämställdhet. Samhället behöver en levande debatt om idrott och kön och den bör inte minst föras i skolan, t.ex. i samband med värdegrundsteman och jämställdhetsdagar men även i klassrummen.
