Human factor creates the greatest risk when working with people. Above all, to give a good example for future generations, it is necessary to select preschool teachers carefully. However, the role teachers play is not only to present a good example for children but to be also a colleague and team worker. Pre-school teachers are required to possess professional and personality competences. Therefore the process of recruitment and selection of teaching staff (followed by their adaptation in preschools) is one of the most important and difficult things in personnel management. Key staff, mangers and personnel officers are in charge of this process. It is highly important to be able to identify, evaluate and eliminate possible risks in the course of all recruitment process. To eliminate such risks is fundamental not only for key staff in education system. The aim of the paper is to define particular measures of prevention arising form identification and evaluation of possible risks during recruitment and selection of teaching staff school education, taking into account their future incorporation into the process of education. This papers reviews ways, procedures and experience of key staff in pre-schools creating background for successful recruitment and selection of useful team members. KEY WORDS:...

Children experience life crisis and normal developmental problems. This study is aimed at highlighting the role fiction can play in assisting children in coping with certain normal life crisis and developmental problems. A discussion on the nature of the bibliotherapeutic process indicated that fiction plays a major role in the success thereof. A model was designed for the selection process of fiction for the bibliotherapeutic process. Selection criteria were established for both the reader and the reading matter. Tables were designed consisting of selection criteria for both the reader and the reading matter. Stories about life crisis relating to death and divorce, as well as normal developmental problems about fear of peer group rejection and fear of the acquirement of skills, were evaluated against these criteria. This indicates that it is possible to select the right book for the bibliotherapeutic process with children. / Information Science / M.Inf.

[pt] O presente estudo tem como objetivo primeiro examinar, segundo a teoria dos polissistemas de Itamar Even-Zohar e a abordagem descritivista da tradução de André Lefevere e Gideon Toury, a literatura brasileira traduzida para o inglês a partir de 1990. O estudo se fundamentará em uma análise do perfil das obras em tradução nos últimos quatorze anos, a qual, por sua vez, servirá de base para um exame das forças que determinaram a seleção, a tradução e a circulação de obras brasileiras nos polissistemas de língua inglesa. Nesse sentido, o presente estudo abordará também aspectos do mercado editorial atual, seu crescimento, sua profissionalização e o fortalecimento do papel do agente literário no fomento da tradução de obras brasileiras. Em um segundo momento, este estudo se dedicará à analise da trajetória de obras de Caio Fernando Abreu, Chico Buarque e Patrícia Melo nos polissistemas de língua inglesa, particularmente nos Estados Unidos e na Inglaterra. A partir das análises propostas, a conclusão abordará aspectos relacionados à recepção das obras brasileiras, tanto no nível mercadológico como no nível acadêmico, e à representação de identidades culturais brasileiras, especialmente no que diz respeito ao ambiente urbano, cenário da literatura desses três autores. / [en] The main purpose of this study is to examine Brazilian literature translated into English as of 1990, based on Itamar Even-Zohar`s Polysystem Theory and on the descriptive approach to translation of Andre Lefevere and Gideon Toury. The study will analyze the characteristics of works translated during the last fourteen years and will serve as a basis to examine the determining forces in the selection, translation and circulation of Brazilian literary works in English- language polysystems. Hence, the present study will also examine aspects of the current publishing industry, its professionalization, and the growing role of the literary agent in promoting translation of Brazilian works. Secondly, this study will analyze the trajectory of works by authors such as Caio Fernando Abreu, Chico Buarque and Patricia Melo in English polysystems, particularly in the United States and Great Britain. Based on the proposed analyses, the conclusion of the study will discuss aspects related to how Brazilian works are received (both in the market and in academia) and how Brazilian cultural identities are represented, especially with regard to the urban environment, which is the main setting in the literary works of the three above-cited authors.

The thesis "Methods to Assess IS/ICT Outsourcing Models" focuses mainly on an assessment and selection process of suitable IS/ICT outsourcing models. First, IS/ICT outsourcing concept is explained and its advantages as well as disadvantages are described. Second, IS/ICT outsourcing models (primarily classified by outsourcing subject) and their characteristics are described. Third, existing methods to assess and subsequently select suitable IS/ICT outsourcing models are analysed. Main goal of the thesis is to confront the existing methods with a process used in real-life IS/ICT outsourcing project and then to give recommendations for methods improvement. To achieve that goal the existing methods are compared with a process used in the real-life outsourcing project. Based on positively perceived parts of the existing methods as well as on flaws identified, an own method to assess and select IS/ICT outsourcing models is designed. The following methods are used when writing the thesis: logical/historical method, description, analysis and synthesis. Main contribution of the thesis to the topic is a design of the own method aiming at improvements to the existing methods so that it is as usable as possible in practice. This is achieved through a design of tools supporting crucial steps of the designed method. The fact that the author is member of a project team working on the real-life IS/ICT outsourcing project facilitates a contribution achievement too.

Background: This study derived from the concerns raised by nurse educators, clinical preceptors, and some nursing students in public nursing colleges in Gauteng following the implementation of the provincial selection criteria and processes. While these criteria could be seen as a means of standardising the admission into the Basic Nursing Diploma Programme at public nursing colleges, anecdotal reports from nurses in education institutions and clinical practices indicated a lack of professionalism, high attrition rates among these cohorts of students. The researcher believed that any meaningful selection criteria and processes should be on the views expressed by people who have been through the process as students or educators. Aim: The aim of this study was to analyse the selection criteria and processes followed by nursing colleges in the Gauteng Province to admit students into Basic Nursing Diploma Programme with the view of proposing selection criteria and processes that would secure the admission of the best candidates to this programme in public nursing colleges in Gauteng Province. Design: Quantitative descriptive survey design with self-completion questionnaire was used to generate data for this study. Out of 571 questionnaires distributed, 492 were returned and considered for analysis. Summary descriptive statistics were performed using SPSS version 21. Results: Four of the 13 items analysed were viewed by more than 70% of the respondents as less important and irrelevant to the selection of best candidates for nursing professional education. Proposal for changes supported by the rational for these changes were made by the respondents. Conclusion and Recommendation: The study proposed a framework that could guide the provincial authority in developing admission criteria that will ensure the selection of best candidates for Basic Diploma Nursing Programme in the province. / Health Studies / M.A. (Nursing Science)
