A systematic review of the literature that explored the processes and perceived effectiveness of qualitative methods used to elicit the views of young people with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) about their educational experiences was conducted. Studies that were identified and screened using a trialled evaluation checklist and synthesised using the PRISMA guidelines identified data collection methods that were perceived to be useful. Limitations such as the over-representation of participants who were able to engage in verbal discussion and the lack of detailed description and evaluation of data collection methods were also identified. A multiple case study research was then conducted to explore two special schools' processes of eliciting the views of secondary school-aged pupils with ASD about their transition to adulthood and its perceived effectiveness. Qualitative data from semi-structured interviews with the school's staff and an observation of a transition meeting were gathered and thematically analysed individually, then compared and contrasted within school level. The findings revealed that both schools' processes of eliciting young people with ASD's views about transition to adulthood is a long process which involves three phases and is underpinned by a person-centred ethos. Perceived strengths and limitations of the process were also identified. Dissemination of the study's findings will include presentations and consultations with key stakeholders such as mainstream and specialist secondary schools and local authority post-16 steering group to explore the utility of the findings in different contexts. Collaboration with other educational psychologists (EPs) will also be conducted to explore this study's implications in the way they support schools in eliciting the views of young people with ASD.

The introduction of this dissertation presents a brief summation of what other sources have ushered with regard to the question of who Jesus is. The problem we seek to resolve; the justification of this dissertation; the definition of some terminology and the main source materials employed, are presented in this chapter. Since the problem statement is crucial for a good dissertation, chapter two will identify this problem from the grass roots level and will show us the turbulent tides it has encountered through the early centuries of the Christian church. The Aftermath of the early Christian church was a string of one Word Symbols, or tides for Jesus. The problem of embracing only one Word title for Jesus is also explained in chapter three. In contrast to the One-sided Word Christologies described in chapter four, an example of some symbols of the Word that inclusively describe in part, who Jesus really is, is presented. Since this dissertation has a holistic approach, it is paramount for the investigation to consider a religious figure that embraces or represents a Christology that denotes holism. This is covered in chapter five. It is in chapter five, where the writer, out of necessity, is prompted to devote a number of pages exploring White's Chiistological conviction. In this chapter the writer uncovers White's perception of the great conflict between good and evil. Retrospectively, the writer absoibs White's assumption and perception of the person of Christ. This chapter also looks at how Christ's role and function is perceived by White. During this research, the way she used the various Word symbols of Christ, who is the over-arching prism of the Almighty God, was found to be of particular interest. White also provides practical, theoretical knowledge of how Christ occupies the believer's life, the world and God's universe. As in chapter five, chapter six presents the exposition of the Christology of John Calvin. In chapter seven the Christology of White is compared to that of John Calvin. A table of data that illustrates how many different types of Word symbols and how many times those Word symbols are mentioned by both White and Calvin are presented. Chapter eight will present the conclusion of this dissertation. / Philosophy, Practical and Systematic Theology / M. Th. (Systematic Theology)

This dissertation analyzes the person and work of Christ in feminist theology, with particular attention to feminist critiques of traditional Christology. Chapter 1 is a brief introduction of the dissertation's thesis and the methodological commitments from which the dissertation proceeds. Chapter 2 provides an investigation and analysis of feminist theological method. Special attention is given to the influential work of Elisabeth Schüssler Fiorenza and Rosemary Radford Ruether. The sources and norms of feminist theology are considered also. Chapter 2 concludes with a discussion of the importance of feminist theological methodology for feminist Christology. Chapter 3 analyzes the person of Christ in feminist theology. Particular consideration is given to feminist arguments against the maleness of Jesus, as well as their alternative proposals to make Christology more inclusive of women. The chapter also offers a sustained evangelical response to the feminist ideas regarding Christ's person. Chapter 4 examines the work of Christ in feminist theology. The feminist contention that the cross is "divine child abuse" is addressed. Feminist assessment of classical atonement theories and alternative perspectives for understanding atonement are discussed. The chapter also challenges and answers the feminist allegation that traditional atonement theology grounds the perpetuation of violence and abuse. Chapter 5 assesses the influence of feminist criticisms within evangelicalism, especially among egalitarians. The chapter demonstrates egalitarian doctrinal revisions on the basis of an acceptance of feminist criticisms in the theological loci of theology proper, bibliology, and ecclesiology. Finally, emerging Christological revisions are considered, specifically related to the egalitarian resistance to the maleness of Jesus and also to a penal substitutionary understanding of atonement. Chapter 5 concludes that feminist criticisms are unacceptable for evangelical Christological formulation. Chapter 6 concludes the dissertation with a brief summary of feminist Christology and evangelical responses, and offers recommendations for further study in this and related areas. / This item is only available to students and faculty of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

Le vieillissement de population rend inévitables les questionnements sur l’autonomie des personnes âgées. La vie en établissement rend inévitables les questionnements sur l'autonomie d’une personne accueillie ou accompagnée. La mission de protection de la personne rend inévitables les questionnements sur l’autonomie d’un majeur protégé. La liste est longue et peut parfaitement se poursuivre. Tous ces questionnements recoupent en réalité, la difficile conciliation entre l’autonomie et la protection, entre la liberté et la sécurité. Le Droit ne peut plus ignorer ces réalités. Il ne peut plus ignorer par exemple, l’existence d’un questionnement lorsqu’une personne âgée refuse son entrée en maison de retraite, mettant alors sa vie en danger. Il ne peut plus ignorer aussi la difficulté du consentement aux soins des majeurs sous mesure de protection. Cette étude ambitionne donc de revenir sur ces réalités pour envisager une protection de la personne, de son autonomie, conforme aux questions d’aujourd’hui. / The ageing of population makes inevitable questionings on the autonomy of the elderly. The life in establishment makes inevitable questionings on the autonomy of the vulnerable person. The mission of protection makes inevitable questionings on the autonomy of major one protected. The list is long and can perfectly continue. The list is long and can continue. All these questionings recut in reality, the difficult conciliation between the autonomy and the protection, between the freedom and the safetyThe law cannot ignore any more these realities. It cannot ignore any more for example, the existence of a questioning when an elderly person refuses its entrance to retirement home, putting then its life in danger. He cannot ignore any more also the difficulty of the consent in the care of the vulnerable adults. This study aspires to return on these realities to envisage a protection of its autonomy, in compliance with the questions of today.

Title: Detention of person caught committing a crime Key words: Securing, a detention, suspicious person Abstract The purpose of this theses was an analysis of valid legislation of detention of a person while committing a crime and following judicature conclusions. The detention of an individual, as one of the ensuring institutes of the criminal procedure code, is one of the most important security measure immanent to the Czech laws. This measure breaches within the law the protection of personal liberty of an individual in favor of the public authority. Therefore it is necessary to pay attention to this issue and submit its regulation to the public professional debate. The resulting legislation must always reflect the principle of minimizing interference by public authority to the personal liberty of any individual, while reflecting current societal needs. The inspiration for the elaboration of this thesis was a brief insight by the author to the application practice of public prosecutor's offices and relevant police units. This thesis is divided into five chapters which are further divided into subchapters. In the first chapter the reasons for elaboration this thesis are specified in detail. The second chapter provides a general overview of the legislation of securing institutes across the Czech law. It...

THE INJURED PARTY IN CRIMINAL PROCEDURE AND HIS/HER PROTECTION The diploma thesis is engaged in position of injured party in criminal proceedings in the Czech Republic from many aspects: either regarding its historical development on the actual territory of the state, or definition of the term of aggrieved person in compliance with actual legal while respecting position of the Czech Republic within European Union and binding effect of certain European standards for the Czech Republic and its legal system, and binding effect of legal documents from the UN level. Additionally, one can follow the definition of the term "victim of the criminal activity" (oběť), which is not identical with the term "victims of the criminal activity" (poškozený) in the Czech legal system. In other legal orders, however, the terms are identical. Onwards, the attention is paid to process rights of the aggrieved person, particularly to the right to claim the indemnity in the accession proceeding. Next chapter of the diploma thesis describes the institute of declensions, which is relatively new and progressive phenomenon in the Czech law. Final part of the diploma thesis briefly describes condition of providing of information on criminal proceeding with emphasis to providing of information in cases, where victim of the...

Natural person insolvency in South Africa has primarily been governed by the Insolvency Act 24 of 1936, which is almost a century old. Despite a major jurisprudential shift that transpired in 1996, the Insolvency Act remains rigid to holistic transformation to align with the spirit of the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996 and international best practices regarding the treatment of the insolvency of natural persons. The South African insolvency system is still premised on the archaic policy of “advantage for creditors” as opposed to a fresh-start policy, the latter of which is widely commendable. International trends and guidelines promote the discharge of all pre-sequestration debts, with some exceptions. These exceptions, among others, include the exclusion of maintenance debt from the discharge to ensure that the human rights of maintenance creditors are maintained and sustained. International trends and guidelines advocate for a balanced approach, which seeks to balance the competing interest of both insolvent debtors and maintenance creditors. However, the South African approach, falls-short of the international best practices, because it does not exclude maintenance debt from the discharge. This approach is dangerous and problematic, because it potentially compromises certain human rights guaranteed in the Constitution. Furthermore, maintenance claims do not enjoy any preference when the insolvent debtor’s estate is being distributed. The maintenance creditors only have a concurrent claim against the insolvent estate. The implication of this, among others, is that maintenance creditors are burdened with liability for contribution, as envisaged in section 106(c) of the Insolvency Act, should there be insufficient funds in the free residue account to cover the costs of sequestration. International trends and guidelines are leaning towards affording maintenance creditors’ claims preference, with an aim to promote the public policy of family support and human rights. The study argues that the South African position on the ranking of maintenance creditors’ claims compromises the constitutional rights of maintenance creditors and this necessitate urgent legislative attention. The violation of constitutional rights of maintenance creditors through the legal position of the discharge of maintenance obligations, and the ranking of maintenance claims, does not comply with the proportionality test, that is applied when assessing whether a violation of a right guaranteed in the Bill of Rights is justifiable and reasonable in an open and democratic society based on human dignity, equality and freedom, taking into account all relevant factors. / Mini Dissertation (LLM (Banking Law))--University of Pretoria, 2020. / Mercantile Law / LLM (Banking Law) / Unrestricted

Since much of the existing research which points to the low validity of the Draw-a-Person technique has used differentiation of diagnostic categories as a criterion, this study will be restricted to a consideration of the Draw-a-Person technique as a means for discriminating between a group of individuals who manifest conflicts in the area of sexual adjustment and a control group which does not show these conflicts in any appreciable amount.
