An investigation into the factors that influence commuters in the North West Province with specific references to the Mafikeng area / Kelebogile Violet HatebeHatebe, Kelebogile Violet January 2006 (has links)
Since time in memorial, mobility by humans has been a major activity which
has undergone a lot of transformation. During the ancient times, people
moved from one place to another for various reasons using different methods.
Modernisation has brought along a new dimension of commuting from one
place to the other. Unlike the olden times when commuters used to walk long
distances with the help of stars, clouds and other natural landmarks to
navigate their way to the desired destinations .
The invention of a wide variety of modes of commuting has brought about
different choices of which mode to use with certain factors being the influence
of such choices.
The study has explored a wide variety of issues pertaining to the factors which
influence commuters in the North West Province particularly in the Mafikeng
area and among other things, source of income, status in society, speed,
affordability and age have been thoroughly investigated in order to come up
with the influencing factors.
The research revealed that the majority of commuters who utilize both public
and private commuting modes are of the school going age which is below 20
years. That means this category of commuter has a great influence on the
commuting sector. Other factors that influence the choice of mode are age
and income. Also, weather can have an impact on the service provided and
therefore, cause disruptions. On the other hand, government needs to be in
partnership with private service providers. It will regulate public transport and
overhaul the entire road infrastructure.
The researcher recommends that both government and the public sectors
need joint effort in order to effectively respond to the challenges of providing
an effective and efficient transport system recommendations have further
been made regarding the issue so that the identified gaps may be sealed to
have a smooth running system. / (MBA) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2006

The constitutional protection of freedom of speech and the prohibition of hate speech in South Africa : promises and pitfalls / P.R. MsaluleMsaule, P.R. January 2004 (has links)
Freedom of expression is one of the most important rights protected under the
Constitution. It is as a pre-condition of the enjoyment of all other rights (except, may be
the right to life). The right of freedom of expression is the mouthpiece of all other rights,
without which all other rights are as good as dead. Freedom of expression has been found
to be of importance for several reasons:- the search for truth rationale; the political
process rationale; individual self-fulfilment.
Despite its resonance, freedom of expression is not absolute in South Africa. It is limited
by other equally important fundamental rights contained in the Constitutional document,
such as the right to equality, dignity and privacy. The Constitution of the Republic of
South Africa makes it clear that some forms of expression that have racial connotations
are not worthy of Constitutional protection 'from the word go'. These types of expression
have the potential to debase the foundations upon which our constitution is premised.
They show total disregard to the values of human dignity, the achievement of equality
and the advancement of human rights. / Thesis (LLM) North-West University, Mafikeng Campus, 2004

An investigation of medicine usage patterns and psychological well-being of a sample of South African Police Service members / Adam Johannes BarnardBarnard, Adam Johannes January 2001 (has links)
For several years scientific research has provided ample evidence to support the
fact that the health of an individual is dependent on more than merely the
absence of the symptoms of disease. This is the view that has been accepted by
the World Health Organisation and therefor it was included in its definition of
health. In the field of practiced psychology, a lot of attention was drawn to the
relation between the psyche and physical health, of which various researchers
have found that psychological well-being has an influence, and is influenced by,
the health of the individual.
From the pharmaceutical dimension of health management, it is clear that
disease symptoms correlate with the drug utilisation of patients, although only
completely in those cases in which the economic considerations do not play a
role. As mentioned earlier there is existing evidence indicating the relationship
between psychological well-being and health. This relation might influence, in
another dimension, the drug utilisation of the individual. Drug utilisation studies
may be the ideal tool to reveal evidence that will enable someone to improve the
health of SAPS members, as well as members of the economically
disadvantaged South African public.
The general objective of this study was to determine the drug utilisation and
psychological well-being of South African Police Service members.
This empirical study can be classified as a one-shot cross sectional design, and
consisted of two phases. In the first phase, a random sample of 170 SAPS
participants from a specified rural area was requested to complete
questionnaires including a Demographic questionnaire, Sense of Coherence
Scale (Antonovsky, 1987), Affectometer II (Kammann & Flett, 1983) and
Satisfaction With Life Scale (Diener et al., 1985). The data from the
questionnaires were processed and statistically analysed. In the second phase,
the study population consisted of all polmed® patients stationed in the specified
area. The medical data of the participants, extracted from the polmed®
database, was processed and statistically analysed.
It was concluded that the level of psychological well-being, in particular the affect
balance, of the SAPS members is distressfully low, and that this is mainly due to
their working environment. Further it was found that the doctor visits of the
SAPS members occur very frequently and are accompanied with high costs. In
the inquiry to the medication usage of polmed® members, 8 medication groups
were implicated as high frequency and cost groups (in particular medication that
work in on the central nervous system), regardless of gender or age. The
specified groups represented the most of the products used by the study
population. It was found that the majority of products used, are patent or brand
name products. Finally, results have indicated that the hospitalisation of SAPS members
is very frequent and therefore very costly.
Recommendations for further research, as well as the practice, were formulated. / Thesis (M.Pharm.)--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2002.
