This thesis deals with the issue of the crime of disorderly conduct, which is one of the offences against public order covered in the title tenth of the special part of the Criminal Code.

Thesis (M.A. (Folklore Studies)) --University of Limpopo, 2013 / The purpose of this study is to investigate whether human conduct and behaviour can be “seen” through the actions of trickster tales. This study focuses on how Bapedi people’s actions can be manifested in the actions of these tales. A variety of trickster tales will be used in trying to investigate the above claim. There will be some folktales that will be sampled from a variety of existing Literature. The sampled folktales will be brought together for analysis at the end of this study. The other folktales will be gathered from respondents. A number of respondents will be sampled through the snowballing technique. Each respondent will be interviewed through the face to face interview to gather more information in as far as folktales are concerned especially trickster tales. Gender sensitivity will be taken into cognizance when sampling the respondents in order to make the study more representative. Interviewees will be sampled from youth to senior citizens. Information gathered will thereafter be brought together with those collected from existing literature for creation of manuscripts. There manuscripts will thereafter be analysed through contend analysis technique.

The purpose of this dissertation study was to investigate the direct and interactive relationships between depression and conduct problems and substance abuse treatment outcomes in a national sample of adolescents participating in substance abuse treatment. This study involved a secondary analysis of data from the National Institute on Drug Abuse's- Drug Abuse Treatment Outcome Study for Adolescence (DATOS-A), a multi-site, longitudinal study of substance abusing adolescents seeking treatment. Participants completed a battery of self-report and interview measures at treatment intake including the Diagnostic Interview Schedule for Children Revised (DISC-R), which assessed depression and conduct problems. Adolescents also completed structured interviews relating to substance use at intake and 12 months after treatment. Results from the multiple regression analyses supported hypotheses relating to greater conduct problems predicting greater post-treatment substance use. Results from the multiple regression analyses failed to support study hypotheses relating to depression and the interaction of conduct problems and depression predicting post-treatment substance use. Significant control variables included age, length of treatment, and intake level of substance use. Results are discussed within the context of the relevant literature.

The following is an exploration of the use of epideictic rhetoric strategies in nineteenth-century conduct manuals, Sarah Stickney Ellis’s The Women of England: Their Social Duties and Domestic Habits, and Harriet Martineau’s Household Education. In examining the rhetoric of the conduct manuals, this researcher has identified the audience, the rhetorical situation, the exigence of that situation, and the use of phronisis, areti, and euonia by both authors. Because the rhetoric of the conduct manual has not been discussed in current critical perspectives, this research is a starting point for further study. The different types of rhetorical strategies used by each author are the focal points used to uncover how epideictic rhetoric can be understood beyond the restrictions of funeral orations and ceremonial speeches. The primary critical research used in this project has been that focused on epideictic rhetoric and the conduct manuals themselves.

This research regards ASE(Advanced Semiconductor Engineer) company as the subject of studying, combine with two subjects of resources construct and competitive advantage, to discuss that the ASE technology receives process and the situation of resource constructing. The main research purpose, is to probe into constructing of the resource and ability organized, how move and transfer knowledge that outside make to and organize the inside effectively, and via the study mechanism of, make useful knowledge organize the memory to store and spread after absorbing , melting and putting into inside, become the foundation of organization key ability. This research adopt ¡§case study method¡¨, choose ASE by the way of depth interview, to combine the relevant paper and develop the proposition to report the resource constructing process comprehensively deeply. The main conclusion has: The ASE, to accumulate and to study experience, and strong study willing, carry on with the technological provider FCT in the dynamic course of technological transfer, study to latent know-how and skill of management in a lot of different nature nearer and nearer in a proper order, and play an aggressive role in the course of technological transfer, learn tactic knowledge and cooperate with the characteristic of technology to launch the corresponding study activity during the process of transferring, and after accumulating certain knowledge resource foundation, have build up the competitive advantage by the knowledge learning. In addition, ASE set the cross-function mechanism that communicates and role crossing over department boundary person while organizing, in order to improve the horizontal communication. This suggestion on this industry development is: 1.Key ability is obtained, cultivation, subordinate to a ministry can not be reached shortly. So, short-term interests may not represent and succeed for a long time . 2.Key value of ability come from value of customer, because one urviv grasp customer need new value e in market early than competitor only.
