<p>This paper deals with the relations between landscape rooms and monuments in an area north of Mönsterås in Kalmar län. After archaeological excavations had been carried out in the area 1991, an article promote it to the “Bronze Age district of Mönsterås” (Källström 1993). There are two main problems that I deal with in this paper. First: The relations between the natural places and the monuments or memorials. Secondly: The patterns with respect to the spread of certain monuments in the landscapes. My studies starts from the British landscape archaeology of Christopher Tilley and Richard Bradley, but also from a Scandinavian point of view with Terje Gansum et al.</p>

The Internet allows individuals to make contact with other individuals, without divulging personal details or information. This means that the user has the choice to remain anonymous. Although the Internet has numerous advantages, the anonymity with which it can be used could cause certain problems. The anonymous nature of the Internet makes it extremely difficult to determine who is gaining access to personal information about Internet users. Thus it becomes an ideal avenue for paedophiles to gain access to information about adolescents and to use this information in the process to get close to, and to abuse them. Few parents who allow their children to use the Internet are aware of paedophiles’ activities on the Internet. This dearth of knowledge about the ways in which paedophiles operate, necessitates that parents and guardians should be educated about the potential dangers the Internet could hold for their children. This is especially necessary “as computers are becoming more and more a part of our daily lives, and computer literacy is a necessity in today’s computer driven world” (Haupt, 2001:26). Within this study the qualitative approach has been used. Interviewing was used as a method of data collection. The purpose of the interviews was to probe particular aspects in depth. An interview schedule was used during the interviews as a guide for the interviewer, and contained relevant questions which ensured that all the necessary aspects were covered during the interview. The focus of the interviews was to determine new avenues that paedophiles utilise to approach children for sexual purposes. In addition, the interviewer enquired if the experts have dealt with South African case studies, where an individual used the Internet to gain access to children. The adequacy of current South African legislation regarding child pornography and sexual activities with adolescents via the Internet was explored. Research participants were asked to discuss the existence of preventative measures to curb the use of the Internet for the enticement of adolescents for sexual purposes. Subsequently the existence of awareness campaigns to make parents or caregivers and children more aware of the dangers that the Internet poses for adolescents was discussed. After conducting the interviews, they were transcribed and interpreted. The research findings derived from the interviews were categorised and these categories were discussed. The analysis of the data indicate that the global problem with regards to the use of the Internet as an avenue to initiate sexual activities with adolescents is still vaguely grasped in South Africa. The fact that only one reported case of a child in South Africa that was approached by a paedophile online was identified, accentuates the dearth of knowledge regarding this social problem. Although it is not easily detectable, it is still a serious problem that needs to be attended to, especially when taking into account that more than three million South Africans have access to the Internet. In addition, children spend the majority of their leisure time using computers and being on the Internet (CIA – The world factbook: Communications South Africa, n.d.). Thus, this problem can only become worse in future. The Internet can be the child’s best friend, or worst enemy. Therefore it is the responsibility of all parents, guardians and the community to protect children against the negative aspects of the Internet. / Dissertation (MA (Criminology))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Social Work and Criminology / MA / unrestricted

Operating room nursing skills are some of the most demanding skills in the nursing profession. At the moment nurses trained in operating room technique are in very short supply in Ethiopia, due to the exodus of nurses to better working environments with more reasonable payment. This is especially noticeable in one of the state hospitals in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, as emerged in conversations with the head nurse of the operating room in this hospital about the high turnover rate, as well as the high absenteeism rate amongst the nurses working in the operating room. Nurses working in the operating room also expressed unhappiness in their work environment which could cause them to look for other jobs or to be absent from duty. The nurses were facing numerous problems in their work environment such as work overload due to staff shortage, stress due to shortage of supplies because they are not able to do their job as much as the need requires. The researcher identified the need to explore the challenges that the operating room nurses are experiencing in their work environment. The researcher used the following questions to meet the research objectives: What are the experiences of the operating room nurses in their work environment?; What potential assistance would such nurses need to better cope with the problems they experience in their work environment? The research study aimed to explore and describe the experience of operating room nurses in their work environment and on the basis of the findings to develop guidelines to assist the operating room nurses in coping more effectively with their work environment. The researcher used a qualitative approach with an explorative, descriptive and contextual design. Fifteen registered nurses were selected using purposive sampling. Informed consent was obtained from the participants and permission from the Ethics Committee of the Nelson Mandela Metropolitan University, as well as Yekatit 12 Hospital. Data were gathered using face to face interviews and field notes were taken to determine the experiences of the participants. Data were analyzed using Tesch's method of descriptive data analysis (in Creswell, 2003:13). Two main themes with two sub-themes related to the experience of the registered nurses working in the operating room of the state hospital were identified. Main theme one focused on the non-conducive work environment and it focused on the lack of support from management and the problems experienced in the environment. It was found that OR nurses had good working relationships among the nursing staff. Main theme two focused on the limited training opportunities in OR techniques. The sub-themes described the limited exposure to new technology and the quality of nursing education which the participants felt was not taken seriously in Ethiopia. Based on the identified themes guidelines were formulated to assist the registered nurses working in the operating room of a state hospital in Ethiopia. Utilization of these guidelines should assist the registered nurses to cope more effectively with their work environment. Recommendation were made, further research and limitations identified.

In this project the aim was to see if there was a way to approach features and qualities which seemed detached of the function, in order to let such features and qualities be used in a variety of programs and functions in design. I wanted to see if this might be possible to achieve and in that case how this would affect the design. I tried to fulfill the intention of the project by making an attempt to lower the influence of the program on the design. In the project the rooms of the design were shown in different states, how the rooms changed and how they were altered when programs were applied to them. I also tried to reflect on how that affected the suggested features and qualities that were assumed to be outside the function. The project was not made for a specific site but Stockholm has been the place that the project was intended to relate to. / Intentionen med det här projektet var att försöka hitta ett sätt att relatera till egenskaper och kvalitéer vilka tycktes vara fristående från funktionen, som gjorde att sådana egenskaper och kvalitéer kunde användas för olika program och funktioner i design. Jag ville försöka se om det fanns ett sätt att göra detta och i så fall hur det skulle påverka designen. Jag försökte uppnå intentionen av projektet genom att minska programmets inflytande på de rum som ritades i projektet. I projektet visas de olika rummen från projektet i olika stadier samt hur rummen förändrades och anpassades till programmen som applicerades i dem. Jag försökte också reflektera över hur de förändringar som gjordes påverkade det som antogs vara egenskaper och kvalitéer utanför funktionen. Projektets design och rum planerades inte för en specifik plats men jag har försökt att relatera projektet till Stockholm som stad.

Magdaléna Moravcová Diplomová práce Ne/zavedení aplikačních místností v České republice Abstract The thesis titled Non/introduction of drug consumption rooms in the Czech Republic is devoted to the controversy that surrounds the debate on the possible introduction of drug consumption rooms in the Czech Republic. It focuses on understanding the attitudes of actors of czech drug policy towards this tool by examinig discourse through analysis of language and speech they use. The analysis of discourse identifies two discoursive groups . The first group are advocates of introduction of drug consumption rooms who adopt the discourse that is marked as a humanist and a second group are the opponents, who adopt the discourse I named as represionistic. The thesis reveals the value contest behind these discourses and also points to the associated discoursive conflict on how to make policy. Such a discourse significantly affects the form of the discourse on the possible introduction of drug consumption rooms in Czech Republic. By using the theory of social construction of target populations the text is looking for an answer on how the target population of problem drug users is socially constructed, and how the character of such a construction is related to the attitudes towards the introduction of drug consumption...

Magister Artium - MA / In 1980· het: die Noord-Amerikaanse Katolieke biskoppe 'n pastorale brief oor Marxisme laat verskyn. In gesprek met Hulpbiskop Peter Rosazza van Hartford het twee Franse priesters, klasmaats van hom, die volgende opgemerk: Hulle het gewonder, hoekom die biskoppe 'n brief uitgebring het oor Marxisme wat tog nie 'n brandende saak ("issueII) was nie. Hoekom nie 'n brief oor kapitalisme nie, was hulle vraag? (Berryman 1989:75). Dit het daartoe gelei dat Biskop Rosazza in 1980 by die biskoplike vergadering voorgestel het dat 'n pastorale brief oor "kapitalisme" opgestel moes word. Hierdie mosie is aanvaar en het dan gelei tot die pastorale brief oor die ekonomie van die VSA geti tel, Economic Justice for All: Pastoral Let ter on Catholic Social Teaching and the U.S.Economy. 'n Vyfman biskoplike kommissie het in 1981 aan hierdie opdrag begin werk en met verloop van tyd besluit om in plaas van op die kapitalistiese sisteem te fokus, eerder die ekonomie van die VSA te ondersoek en te beoordeel. In November 1984, na wye konsultasies, besprekings en konferensies het die eerste publieke konsepdokument verskyn. Die biskoppe het dit juis laat verskyn na die uitslag van die presidensiele verkiesing tussen Reagan en MoridaLe (Berryman 1989: 113). Hulle het geredeneer dat hiermee - om dit te laat verskyn na die verkiesing - hulle sou kon verhoed dat hulle daarvan beskuldig sou kon word dat"hulle polities kant kies. Inteendeel, dit is toe juis wat gebeur het en die biskoppe is daarvan beskuldig dat hulle kies vir die Demokratiese Party teen Reagan wat die verkiesing gewen het. Die dokument het wye mediadekking geniet - nuusblaaie, sowel as die televisie - en "vi.qorou s public discussion took place around the first two public drafts of the letter (November 1984 and October 1985)11 (Berryman 1989:114). In Junie 1986 het 'n derde konsep verskyn en gedurende November 1986 "isdie finale dokument aanvaar deur die Nasionale Biskoplike vergadering en vrygestel.
