Syftet med studien har varit att synliggöra AB Bollnäs Bostäders hållbarhetsarbete utifrån 18 framtagna hållbarhetskategorier fördelade på de ekologiska, sociala och ekonomiska hållbarhetsaspekterna. De ekologiska och sociala hållbarhetskategorierna är tagna från ISO26000, en standard som beskriver företags samhällsansvar, och de ekonomiska hållbarhetskategorierna är framtagna med utgångspunkt i tidigare forskning och dokument gällande hållbarhetsaspekter i fastighetsbranschen. Vidare har studien som syfte att synliggöra kommunikationen kring hållbarhetsarbetet genom att analysera vad som kommuniceras och vad resultatet blir av den kommunikationen. Det har gjorts genom att göra en didaktisk analys utifrån de didaktiska frågorna för vem, varför, vad och hur. Slutligen har studien som syfte att visa på vad det finns för visioner internt och externt kring AB Bollnäs Bostäders framtida hållbarhetsarbete, med grund i de 18 hållbarhetskategorierna. För att samla in relevant empiri har personliga intervjuer, enkäter och dokumentstudier genomförts. Resultatet visar på att AB Bollnäs Bostäder arbetar aktivt mot en hållbar utveckling utifrån alla tre hållbarhetsaspekter - ekologisk, social och ekonomisk. Utav 18 hållbarhetskategorier bedömdes arbetet med 14 av dem vara tillfredsställande. Med välinvesterade resurser skulle bolaget kunna utveckla sitt hållbarhetsarbete och uppfylla alla 18 hållbarhetskategorier. Kommunikationen kring hållbarhetsarbetet uppvisar övervägande ekonomiskt innehåll både internt och externt, men med olika syften för de olika målgrupperna boservice, ekonomi och administration, kundcenter, parkenheten, tekink, VD, boende, entreprenörer, kommunfullmäktige samt styrelsen. Utfallet däremot visar på att det är de ekonomiska, sociala och ekologiska hållbarhetskategorierna, i nämnd ordning, som uppfattas av de olika målgrupperna. Slutligen framgick det av resultatet att alla tre hållbarhetsaspekter ansågs vara viktiga för AB Bollnäs Bostäder i framtiden, men de ekonomiska hållbarhetskategorierna bedömdes ha högre prioritet. Nyckelord: / The objective has been to visualize sustainability work of AB Bollnäs Bostäder, based on 18 sustainability categories developed in the study, divided on the sustainable aspects ecological, social and economical. The ecological and social aspect of the sustainability categories is part of the ISO26000, a standard describing company’s social responsibility, and the economic aspect is developed based on research and document discussing sustainable development in the property business. Furthermore, the aim has also been to study the communication of the sustainability work at the company, and see the result of it. It was accomplished by a didactic analysis, based on the didactical questions for who, why, what and how. The last object of the study has been to learn the visions of the future sustainability work of AB Bollnäs Bostäder, from different groups perspectives, based on the 18 sustainability categories. To collect relevant empirical data, personal interviews, questionnaires and document studies has been carried out. The results show that active work towards a sustainable development is performed in AB Bollnäs Bostäder, from all three aspects of sustainable development – ecology, social and economy. Out of the 18 sustainability categories, the work of 14 of them was assessed to be satisfying. Well invested resources would help the company to develop their work, and fulfil all the sustainability categories. The communication of the sustainability categories showed a consideration towards an economical content, both internally and externally, but with different aims for the targeted groups property service, economic and administrations, customer centre, park division, technical, CEO, inhabitants, entrepreneurs, municipal council and the board. The outcome of the communication on the other hand, showed that the economical, social and ecological sustainability categories, in the stated order, is interpreted different by the targeted groups. Finally, the results showed that all three sustainability aspects were important for AB Bollnäs Bostäder in the future, but the economical sustainability categories were considered to have a higher priority.

M. Tech. (Department of Biotechnology, Faculty of Applied and Computer Sciences), Vaal University of Technology. / Background: Currently, the South African National Blood Services are not testing for HTLV and HTLV screening is not mandated by the WHO or by regulatory standards in South Africa. Looking at the uniquely high prevalence of HIV and HIV / HBV co-infections in the South African population and taking into account the literature that suggests that most of these infected patients will be receiving blood, exposing these patients to an additional burden like HTLV can result in an increased disease progression of HIV to AIDS and a poor prognosis in these infected patients. Study design and methods: A blinded cross-sectional study was performed. 7015 specimens were collected from all blood transfusion laboratories across South Africa excluding the Western Cape Blood Transfusion Service laboratories. The specimens collected were tested using the ABBOTT Alinity S® Immunochemiluminescent autoanalyser. All test results were confirmed with the Roche Cobas® E801 and E411 auto analyser. Results: Over all prevalence for HIV was 39.39% (N=2763), HBV 7.57% (n=531) and HTLV 0.70% (N=49). Concurrent infection for HIV/HBV 4.92% (N=345), HIV/HTLV 0.36% (N=25), HBV/HTLV 0.09% (N=6) and HIV/HBV/HTLV 0.07% (N=5). Conclusion: This study confirmed an overall high prevalence of HIV and HBV infections among patients receiving blood products from the SANBS. Compared to the general population, the HIV prevalence in blood recipients was two-fold higher. Patients receiving a blood transfusion from the SANBS have high rates of HIV, HBV and HTLV which should be taken into consideration when determining donor screening strategies.

Mémoire de fin d'études de maitrise réalisé par l'étudiante Clerveau Vanessa, sous la direction du professeur Denis Jean-Louis et Johri Mira pour l'obtention de la maitrise en administration des services de santé, option santé mondiale / La pénurie de main-d’œuvre en santé représente une problématique de santé mondiale et sa gestion par les pays de destination pourrait entraîner de graves conséquences sur les systèmes de santé des pays d’origine. Afin d’en atténuer certaines, l’Organisation mondiale de la santé (OMS) a créé le Code de pratique mondiale. Nous avons exploré le potentiel des accords bilatéraux proposés par ce Code dans le processus de migration des infirmiers haïtiens au Québec. Une analyse qualitative exploratoire a été menée avec des données de la littérature grise, scientifique et du grand public, ainsi que des entrevues semi-dirigées d’experts d’Haïti et de Québec selon un échantillon raisonné, au moyen d’un guide d’entrevue. Elles ont été transcrites manuellement, enregistrées sur Teams et analysées sur Nvivo. La formation des infirmiers haïtiens nécessaire au renouvellement de la main-d’œuvre, le renforcement des capacités du système de santé haïtien, le transfert de connaissances et de compétences, et l’intégration du personnel infirmier haïtien font partie des éléments clés évoqués par les experts en vue d’explorer le potentiel des accords bilatéraux. Haïti et le Québec devraient désigner des éléments nécessaires définissant clairement les besoins respectifs de leur système de santé. Cependant, la mise en œuvre pourrait être compromise par les enjeux d’équité, de dynamique, de pouvoir et d’instabilité en Haïti. Les accords bilatéraux dans le processus de migration des infirmiers haïtiens pourraient servir de levier d’amélioration des politiques de santé publique et de la coopération internationale entre Haïti et le Québec. / The shortage of healthcare workers is a global health issue, and its management by destination countries could impact healthcare systems in countries of origin. The World Health Organization (WHO) has taken steps to mitigate some of these issues by implementing the Global Code of Practice. We explored the potential of the bilateral agreements proposed by this Code in the migration process of Haitian nurses to Quebec. An exploratory qualitative analysis was conducted using data from the grey, scientific, and public literature, as well as semi-structured interviews with experts from Haiti and Quebec based on a purposive sample, using an interview guide. They were manually transcribed, recorded on Teams, and analyzed on Nvivo. The training of Haitian nurses needed to renew the workforce, capacity building of the Haitian healthcare system, transfer of knowledge and skills, and integration of Haitian nurses were among the key elements raised by experts to explore the potential of bilateral agreements. Haiti and Quebec should identify the necessary elements that clearly define the respective needs of their healthcare systems. However, implementation could be compromised by issues of equity, dynamics, power, and instability in Haiti. Bilateral agreements in the Haitian nurse migration process could serve as a lever for improving public health policies and international cooperation between Haiti and Quebec.

This dissertation examines how Philippine (or Filipino) authors emphasise the need for articulating or “re/membering” cultural identity. The researcher mainly draws from the theory of Caribbean critic, Stuart Hall, who views cultural identity as an articulation which allows “the fragmented, decentred human agent” to be considered as one who is both “subject-ed” by power but/and one who is capable of acting against those powers (Grossberg 1996 [1986]: 157, emphasis mine). Applied to the Philippine context, this writer argues that, instead of viewing an apparent fragmented Filipino identity as a hindrance to “defining” cultural identity, she views the “damaged” (Fallows 1987) Filipino history as a the material itself which allows articulation of identity. Instead of reducing the cultural identity of a people to what-they-could-have-been-had-history-not-intervened, she puts forward a vision of identity which attempts to transfigure these “damages” through the efforts of coming-to-terms with history. While this point of view has already been shared by other critics (such as Feria 1991 or Dalisay 1998:145), the author’s contribution lies in presenting re/membering to describe a specific type of articulation which neither permits one to deny wounds of the past nor stagnate in them. Moreover, re/membering allows one to understand continuous re-articulations of “new” identities (due to current migration), while putting an “arbitrary closure” (Hall) to simplistic re-articulations which may only further the “lines of tendential forces” (such as black or brown skin bias) or hegemonic practices. Written as such (with a slash),“re/membering” encapsulates the following three-fold meaning: (1) a “re-membering”, to indicate “a putting together of the dismembered past to make sense of the trauma of the present” (Bhabha 1994:63); as (2) a “re-membering” or a re-integration into a group and; as (3) “remembering” which implies possessing “memory or … set [ting] off in search of a memory” (Ricoeur 2004:4). As a morphological unit, “re/membering” designates, the ways in which Filipino authors try to articulate cultural identity through the routes of colonisation, migration and dictatorship. The authors studied in this thesis include: Carlos Bulosan, Bienvenido Santos, N.V.M. Gonzalez, Nick Joaquin, Frank Sionil José, Ninotchka Rosca, Jessica Hagedorn, and Merlinda Bobis. Sixty-years separate Bulosan’s America is in the Heart (1943) from Hagedorn’s Dream Jungle (2003). Analysis of these works reveals how articulation is both difficult and hopeful. On the one hand, authors criticize the lack of efforts and seriousness towards articulation of cultural identity as re/membering (coming to terms with the past, fostering belonging and cultivating memory). Not only is re/membering challenged by double-consciousness (Du Bois 1994), dismemberment and forgetting, moreover, its necessity is likewise hard to recognize because of pain, trauma, phenomena of splitting, escapist attitudes and preferences for a “comfortable captivity”. On the other hand, re/membering can also be described as hopeful by the way authors themselves make use of literature to articulate identity through research, dialogue, time, reconciliation and re-creation. Although painstaking and difficult, re/membering is important and necessary because what is at stake is an articulated Philippine cultural identity. However, who would be prepared to make the effort? ------ Cette thèse démontre que, pour les auteurs philippins, l’articulation ou « re/membering » l'identité culturelle, est nécessaire. Le chercheur s'appuie principalement sur la théorie de Stuart Hall, qui perçoit l'identité culturelle comme une articulation qui permet de considérer l’homme assujetti capable aussi d'agir contre des pouvoirs (cf. Grossberg 1996 [1986]: 157). Appliquée au contexte philippin, cet auteur soutient que, au lieu de la visualisation d'une identité fragmentée apparente comme un obstacle à une « définition » de l'identité culturelle, elle regarde l’histoire philippine «abîmée» (Fallows 1987) comme le matériel même qui permet l'articulation d’identité. Au lieu de réduire l'identité culturelle d'un peuple à ce qu’ ils auraint pû être avant les interventions de l’histoire, elle met en avant une vision de l'identité qui cherche à transfigurer ces "dommages" par un travail d’acceptation avec l'histoire. Bien que ce point de vue a déjà été partagé par d'autres critiques (tels que Feria 1991 ou Dalisay 1998:145), la contribution de l'auteur réside dans la présentation de « re/membering » pour décrire un type d'articulation sans refouler les plaies du passé, mais sans stagner en elles non plus. De plus, « re/membering » permet de comprendre de futures articulations de « nouvelles » identités culturelles (en raison de la migration en cours), tout en mettant une «fermeture arbitraire» (Hall) aux ré-articulations simplistes qui ne font que promouvoir des “lines of tendential forces” (Hall) (tels que des préjugés sur la couleur brune ou noire de peau) ou des pratiques hégémoniques. Rédigé en tant que telle (avec /), « re/membering » comporte une triple signification: (1) une «re-membering », pour indiquer une mise ensemble d’un passé fragmenté pour donner un sens au traumatisme du présent (cf. Bhabha, 1994:63); (2) une «re-membering» ou une ré-intégration dans un groupe et finalement, comme (3)"remembering", qui suppose la possession de mémoire ou une recherche d'une mémoire »(Ricoeur 2004:4). Comme unité morphologique, « re/membering » désigne la manière dont les auteurs philippins tentent d'articuler l'identité culturelle à travers les routes de la colonisation, les migrations et la dictature. Les auteurs inclus dans cette thèse sont: Carlos Bulosan, Bienvenido Santos, NVM Gonzalez, Nick Joaquin, Frank Sionil José, Ninotchka Rosca, Jessica Hagedorn, et Merlinda Bobis. Soixante ans séparent America is in the Heart (1943) du Bulosan et le Dream Jungle (2003) du Hagedorn. L'analyse de ces œuvres révèle la façon dont l'articulation est à la fois difficile et pleine d'espoir. D'une part, les auteurs critiquent le manque d'efforts envers l'articulation en tant que « re/membering » (confrontation avec le passé, reconnaissance de l'appartenance et cultivation de la mémoire). Non seulement est « re/membering » heurté par le double conscience (Du Bois 1994), le démembrement et l'oubli, en outre, sa nécessité est également difficile à reconnaître en raison de la douleur, les traumatismes, les phénomènes de scission, les attitudes et les préférences d'évasion pour une captivité "confortable" . En même temps, « re/membering » peut également être décrit comme plein d'espoir par la façon dont les auteurs eux-mêmes utilisent la littérature pour articuler l'identité à travers la recherche, le dialogue, la durée, la réconciliation et la re-création. Bien que laborieux et difficile, « re/membering » est important et nécessaire car ce qui est en jeu, c'est une identité culturelle articulée des Philippines. Mais qui serait prêt à l'effort?

本論文以中央研究院近代史研究所所典藏的「外交部檔案」為主，輔以聯合國年鑑與相關聯合國專門機構的資料，首先整理出中華民國喪失各專門機構席位的時序與過程，接著探討中華民國政府是否有何事前的應對策略，並嘗試探究中華民國政府在喪失聯合國中國代表權以後，面對專門機構席位問題的態度是否具彈性思維。 聯合國專門機構僅是一個代表性的名詞，本質上就是一個由各國政府代表組成的國際組織，一個國際組織與聯合國經濟暨社會理事會簽署合作協定後，就成為聯合國專門機構。兩者之間互不隸屬，是屬於合作的關係，意即一個國家若喪失聯合國的席位，並不代表同時喪失專門機構的席位，需再由專門機構討論之。現今聯合國共有19個專門機構，1971年時則是擁有13個專門機構。 中華民國在1971年喪失聯合國中國代表權之前，在13個聯合國專門機構中，除了聯合國糧食及農業組織(FAO)為觀察員外，其餘12個專門機構皆擁有會員國資格。而擁有會員國資格的專門機構中，除了4個金融性專門機構於1980年時才喪失席位，其餘8個專門機構則先後於1971年10月下旬至1972年5月下旬間陸續喪失席位，本研究探討的就是這一段時間。而由於資料與篇幅的限制，選擇世界衛生組織(WHO)、世界氣象組織(WMO)與國際電信聯盟(ITU)三個專門機構，深入探討中華民國喪失聯合國專門機構席位以及中華民國政府如何因應的過程。 由本文的討論可知道，聯合國大會396號決議案與2758號決議案與此議題息息相關，396號決議案決定了當一國政府的代表權發生爭議時，聯合國體系各組織應顧及聯合國大會的態度，而2758號則決定了聯合國中國代表權的歸屬。兩個決議案是專門機構處理中國席位問題的關鍵。而中華民國面對聯合國專門機構席位問題時，其態度是認為中華人民共和國的加入，並不能以排除中華民國為前提，但席位問題的屬性卻是聯合國中國代表權問題的延伸，也就是說，聯合國專門機構要處理的是機構內「誰來代表中國」的問題。事實上，在那段時間，立場較親近中華民國的國家曾推動類似於「兩個中國」或「一中一台」的提案，希望中華民國與中華人民共和國同時存在於聯合國專門機構之中，只是中華民國政府卻未主動與這些國家合作，使得相關議案未獲通過。 本論文另外發掘當時介於行政院與外交部之間的決策單位，此單位是由當時的行政院政務委員葉公超主持，邀請行政院各部會首長成立的跨部會小組，名為光華小組，運作時間起於1971年11月下旬，至1972年5月底結束，旨在因應中華民國喪失聯合國中國代表權後，所引發的後續外交鉅變效應，處理議題的內容亦包含專門機構的席位問題。 聯合國專門機構的席位議題，如同聯合國大會2758號決議案，只處理了「誰來代表中國」的問題，實際上台灣地位的議題並沒有被提及，留有彈性空間。而現今台灣的困局在於，要成為聯合國專門機構正式會員的條件必須是個國家，所以目前首要處理的，仍是國家定位的問題。從本研究中可知道，中華民國在聯合國專門機構的會籍問題，本質就是中國代表權問題，如果使用中華民國名義申請加入聯合國專門機構，無疑是抵觸1971年至1972年間各個專門機構的決議，這些決議已闡明「China」席位的歸屬，如此一來，其阻力只有更大而已。

The goal of this study is to evaluate, in which manner the Non-Israelites turn to Yahweh. It works with a combination of narrative analysis and intertextuality. The book of Jonah contains two symmetrical parts (1-2 and 3-4), each part containing three scenes, each scene relating to a scene in the other part: 1.1-3 // 3.1-3a; 1.4-16 // 3.3b-10; 2.1-11 // 4.1-11. The structure of 1.4-16, including the inner development of the mariners, shows that a conversion of the Seamen to Yahweh is intended. In the same manner the structure of 3.3b-10 and the positive characterization of the Ninevites show that a conversion to the one true God is intended. These results are each confirmed by an intertextual analysis of 1.14 and 16 and of the faith, the repentance and the God who relents. Result: The book of Jonah teaches that Non-Israelites can have a relationship with Yahweh. This is possible through an Israelite, becoming reality by conversion of the Heathen. / Old Testament & Ancient Near Eastern Studies / M. Th. (Old Testament)

The aim of this explorative and descriptive study was to develop an action plan for criminologists to become specialised practitioners within the South African child justice system. An exploratory, sequential, mixed-methods approach was used, where data was collected during the first phase using a self-administered, semi-structured questionnaire, including closed- and open-ended questions. The questionnaire was distributed to members of the Criminological Society of Africa (CRIMSA), as well as criminologists, magistrates, and other experts in the field of child law, known to the researcher. Sixteen questions were posed to collect data, consisting of nine Likert scale questions and seven open-ended questions. A semi-structured interview schedule was employed during the second phase of the study, to conduct 22 face-to-face and telephonic interviews with experts in the field of child law, probation officers, social workers, and criminologists. Descriptive data analysis was utilised during the first, and thematic analysis during the second phase of this study. The findings indicate that the absence of a regulating, professional body, limits career opportunities for criminologists as far as exercising their skills in practice. Furthermore, it was established that the role and function of criminologists, and the academic field of criminology, remain unfamiliar to various practitioners in the human science professions. Subsequently, criminologists are often considered mere crime researchers with limited applied skills for use in the South African criminal justice system. Though it was proven that, at least to some degree the academic training of criminologists is deficient, it was established that criminologists have a unique skill-set that places them in a unique position to execute various functions within the child justice sector as part of a multi-disciplinary team. Findings suggest that the Child Justice Act (75 of 2008) should be amended to facilitate the inclusion of criminologists in the South African child justice sector. / Die doel van hierdie verkennende en beskrywende studie was om ʼn aksieplan vir kriminoloë te ontwikkel om hulle in staat te stel om gespesialiseerde praktisyns in die Suid-Afrikaanse kindergeregtigheidstelsel te word. ʼn Verkennende, opeenvolgende, gemengdemetode-benadering is gebruik waar data gedurende die eerste fase ingesamel is deur middel van ’n selfgeadministreerde vraelys, wat geslote en oop vrae ingesluit het. Die vraelys is versprei onder lede van die Kriminologiese Vereniging van Suider-Afrika (CRIMSA), asook kriminoloë, landdroste en ander kundiges op die gebied van kinderreg wat aan die navorser bekend is. Altesame 16 vrae is gestel om data in te samel, wat uit nege Likert-skaalvrae en sewe oop vrae bestaan het. ’n Halfgestruktureerde onderhoudrooster is gedurende die tweede fase van die studie gebruik om 22 onderhoude van aangesig tot aangesig asook telefoniese onderhoude met kundiges op die gebied van kinderreg, proefbeamptes, maatskaplike werkers en kriminoloë te voer. Beskrywende dataontleding is gedurende die eerste, en tematiese ontleding gedurende die tweede fase van hierdie studie gebruik. Die bevindings dui aan dat die afwesigheid van ’n regulatoriese, professionele liggaam loopbaangeleenthede vir kriminoloë beperk wat die uitoefening van hul vaardighede in die praktyk betref. Daar is voorts vasgestel dat die rol en funksie van kriminoloë, en die akademiese gebied van kriminologie, onbekend aan verskeie praktisyns in die geesteswetenskapberoepe is. Kriminoloë word gevolglik dikwels bloot as navorsers met beperkte toegepaste vaardighede vir gebruik in die Suid-Afrikaanse strafregspleging beskou. Hoewel bewys is dat die akademiese opleiding van kriminoloë in ’n mate ontoereikend is, is vasgestel dat kriminoloë ’n unieke stel vaardighede besit wat hulle in ’n unieke posisie plaas om as deel van ’n multidissiplinêre span verskeie funksies in die kindergeregtigheidsektor uit te voer. Bevindings dui daarop dat die “Child Justice Act” 75 van 2008 gewysig behoort te word om vir die insluiting van kriminoloë in die Suid-Afrikaanse kindergeregtigheidsektor voorsiening te maak. / Sepheo sa phuputso ena ya kutullo le tlhaloso e ne e le ho hlahisa morero wa ketso bakeng sa ditsebi tsa tsa botlokotsebe hore ebe basebetsi ba ikgethang sistiming ya Afrika Borwa ya toka ya bana.
