abstract: Many students spend a significant portion of their college life outside of the classroom, yet very little is known about the learning they experience as a result of their interactions outside of the classroom. Intentional out-of-class educational experiences offer educators a powerful window into not only understanding the college student experience, but gaining insight into what students are learning that has meaning for them. This research study employed a qualitative approach to examine how students make meaning of their intentional out-of-class educational experiences at a small, Catholic, liberal arts college. Four recent graduates of the college were interviewed on two separate occasions to garner a broad picture of what they learned beyond their classrooms. All four participants were members of the college's honor society whose membership criteria included not only excellence in the classroom, but excellence in the out-of-class arena as well. The students represented athletic teams, honor societies, service societies and clubs in their out-of-class educational experiences. While the participants discussed an array of outcomes as a result of their out-of-class educational experiences, each participant identified specific events that lead them to make new or revised meaning from their internal and external understandings of their world. Labeled as turning points, this research study found that there was a powerful interaction when combining out-of-class educational experiences with the opportunity to cognitively reflect on what each student was experiencing both in understanding how they viewed themselves, as well as the world around them. Consequently, student affairs practitioners, at least in this campus setting, can routinely discover cognitive gains of students implementing opportunities for college students to reflect on out-of-class educational experiences. / Dissertation/Thesis / Ed.D.

Magister Commercii - MCom / Privatization has become a central feature of the economic policies of nations in the developed and developing world. Eritrea has also embarked on a privatisation program for the state-owned enterprises. It privatised 39 manufacturing enterprises from 1997-2001 in the hope that the enterprises might be restructured into more efficient, profitable, competent and value creating private enterprises. This thesis assessed the impact of privatisation on the operating efficiency, profitability, employment, wages and tax payment of the Eritrean newly privatised manufacturing enterprises. / South Africa

The aim of this study was to explore the relationship between work-family conflict, stress and burnout among South African Social Security Agency (SASSA) employees. For this purpose data was collected from the SASSA agency offices in Alice, King Williams Town and East London. A sample of 72 agency employees was drawn from the population. Results of the study indicated that the study variables are significantly positively correlated with one another. Work family conflict was found to be significantly positively correlated with stress. Stress was also found to be significantly positively correlated with burnout. A significant positive relationship was also found to exist between work family conflict and burnout. The findings of this study are helpful in the social security agency industry in order to design human resources policies which will reduce turnover of agency employees by reducing stress, work family conflict and burnout among the agency employees.

Home carers working chiefly with older adults were invited to participate in the study. Fifty nine consented and completed the questionnaires. Data was collected on external stressors, mediating factors, and strain indices experienced by home carers in their workplace. Well established measures were used, the General Health Questionnaire, the Occupational Stress Inventory, the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (short-form), the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Minnesota Job Satisfaction Scale, as well as a demographic questionnaire designed for the study. The results indicated that the majority of home carers experienced various aspects of their jobs as stressful, namely role demands but do not necessarily report strain. A range of coping strategies used by this group were assessed. As expected wishful thinking as a coping strategy was positively correlated with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation dimensions of burnout, reduced job satisfaction and general emotional mental health. Social support and problem-solving were also used as strategies, the success of social support was highlighted by the negative correlations found with the emotional exhaustion and depersonalisation dimensions of burnout, and positive correlations found with job satisfaction. The differences between the home carers sample and the norm groups on the job satisfaction scale, the burnout scale, and GHQ-12 indicated significant lower levels of burnout, equal levels of job satisfaction, and a significantly lower proportion of clinical caseness. The stressful aspects of the home carer work were discussed. Although care work was viewed as rewarding by many nevertheless some indicators of stress were present. It was conjectured that the deleterious effects of reported stress was being effectively mediated through use of the various constructive strategies, namely social support from family and colleagues. Limitations of the study are discussed both in terms of method used, the nature of the sample and the issues around the measure of stress and relevant moderators.

Burn-out is a wide concept and similar to other medical diagnoses and concepts, for example fatigue syndrome. In this study we chose to use burn-out. Burn-out unfortunately occurs both in the working life and the elite sport world, which brings very large consequences for both individuals and society. What does it take for a person to recover from burn-out? This study is about the recovery process from a burn-out among workers and elite athletes and how educated people work to help people in this condition. The results of this qualitative study show that it mostly is about recovery. A concrete concept is not available because of the difference between individuals, but methods exist.

O presente trabalho teve como objetivo avaliar as correlações existentes entre as três diferentes formas de poupança (externa, privada e pública) para o caso brasileiro. Para isso, foram construídos alguns modelos econométricos, conforme estabelecido pela literatura internacional, com forma de auxiliar o diagnóstico aqui apresentado. Dentre as conclusões que foram extraídas deste trabalho destacaram-se considerações acerca da existência da Equivalência Ricardiana e do grau de substitutabilidade entre as poupanças externa e doméstica. Essas pontuações, entre outras, podem contribuir para a implementação de políticas públicas mais eficientes que visem a elevação da taxa de poupança da economia

Foram utilizados 18 ratos que sofreram trauma cirúrgico no assoalho orbitário, simulando uma fratura tipo "blow-out". O lado direito do animal recebeu implante de Medpor® e o lado esquerdo não recebeu qualquer tipo de material. Nos períodos de 15, 40 e 90 dias foram realizadas as eutanásias e obtenção das peças para processamento histológico e imunohistoquímico. Os cortes obtidos foram corados com hematoxilina e eosina, tricrômico de Masson e marcação imunohistoquímica nos períodos de 15, 40 e 90 dias com a osteocalcina e RUNX2. O processo de reparo no lado controle finalizou com neoformação óssea aos 40 dias e perda do contorno ósseo inicial, criando um defeito no assoalho de órbita. O grupo tratado mostrou prevalência de tecido conjuntivo em contato com o implante de Medpor®, tanto em sua periferia quanto no seu interior. Não houve processo inflamatório intenso e ou agudo junto ao material. A imunomarcação mostrou escores intensos de OC após 15 dias de pós- operatórios e manteve expressão moderada após 40 e 90 dias pós-operatório, a RUNX2 foi moderadamente expressa em todos os períodos avaliados. Concluimos que o polietileno poroso (Medpor®) é um biomaterial bionert seguro e eficaz, a sua presença levou ao reparo ósseo local e compensou a ausência de tecido ósseo na sustentação do globo ocular. / The aim of this research was to assessed histological and immunohistochemi cal properties in the use of porous polyethylene (Medpor®) for orbital floor reconstruction. Under general anesthesia 18 male rats (Rattus, norvegicus, albinus, Wistar) underwent bilateral surgical defect, simulating blowout fracture and infraorbital rim. Groups were divided as follow: GI control group and GII surgical defects were reconstructed with Medpor®. After 15, 40, and 90 days animals were euthanized with anesthetic overdose. Orbital specimens were laboratorial process, coronal slices were stained in Hematoxylin and Eosin and Masson trichrome. Immunohistochemical assess of osteocalcin (OC) and Corebinding factor alpha1 (Cbfa1) were performed. Bone repair at the control group was achieved after 40 days with loss of the orbital rim and lack of ocular support. Immunolabeling showed intense scores of OC after 15 days post-operative and maintain moderate expression after 40 and 90 days postoperative, Cbfa1 was moderately express within all the periods evaluated. Medpor® group showed fibrous tissue in contact with the implant in the inner and outer surface, without newbone formation and without intense inflammatory infiltrate nearby the biomaterial, the Medpor® gave enough support for the ocularglobe.
