This research study examined mothers’ experiences of gaining access to services following the death of a baby through stillbirth or a neonatal death. An exploratory research design was used to conduct applied research into the said topic through the use of a semi-structured interview schedule. The research sample consisted of fifteen mothers, all having lost a baby within the last five years to stillbirth or neonatal death. These mothers were met in propinquity and the interview schedule was conducted with them. The findings were analysed and presented both quantitatively, by means of percentages and graphs, and qualitatively, by means of themes and sub themes. The research was particularly relevant in that it is estimated that between three and five percent of all pregnant mothers in South Africa will lose their babies to a stillbirth or neonatal death every year. For this reason it is essential that adequate and quality services be offered to these mothers to prevent complications in their grief. The study conducted by the researcher focused on the accessibility of quality hospital, religious, formal and social support services to bereaved mothers following the death of a baby through stillbirth and neonatal death. The researcher then discussed, in detail, the literature informing the study. The discussion of the literature, as outlined by the researcher, was set in a logical progression – beginning with a discussion on grief, the grief process, dysfunctional grief and models of grief, then moving onto a discussion of the grief following the loss of a baby and maternal grief predictors. The theory ended with a discussion on the services, particularly hospital services, religious services and formal services, available to bereaved mothers. The researcher then presented the findings of the study, drawing comparisons between the literature and the empirical findings where relevant. Conclusions and recommendations were then formulated and presented. The researcher firmly believes that the research conducted holds the potential of providing significant practical suggestions to the functioning of the services that are available to bereaved mothers. / Dissertation (MSD (Play Therapy))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Social Work and Criminology / unrestricted

Benewens die wyses om rekenaarmisbruik by wyse van remedies in die siviele reg aan te spreek, is dit hoofsaaklik die taak van die strafreg om sodanige misbruik te kriminaliseer en deur middel van straf sulke misbruik te voorkom en oortreders af te skrik.

In addition to addressing different methods of computer misuse in terms of civil law remedies, it is mainly the task of the criminal law to criminalise such misuse, prevent computer misuse and deter offenders by means of punishment. It was clear from a study of South African criminal law that existing offences, both statutory and in terms of the common law, do not criminalise and address computer misuse effectively. It therefore seems that legislation would be the most appropriate solution. It appeared from a comparative study of jurisdictions where legislators approach computer misuse differently, that the most effective way of criminalising computer misuse would be to criminalise una1,1thorised computer accessing as basic offence. In addition thereto more specific further acts of serious computer misuse, defined broadly, should be criminalised / Criminal & Procedural Law / LL.M. (Criminal & Procedural Law)

The process by which the classical music business operates in the UK changed significantly through the marketing of a classical music recording which took place in 1989. EMI’s recording of Vivaldi’s work Four Seasons with the violinist Nigel Kennedy was given a unique marketing campaign for a classical music recording. Instead of the traditional marketing approach for a classical music release, pop marketing techniques were employed. In a different but related development, in 1990, the first of the Three Tenors concerts was held in Rome to mark the final match of the 1990 Fédération Internationale de Football Association’s (FIFA) world cup competition. The success of this second record campaign lay in the novelty of three tenors performing together at a football competition. The result was classical music achieving worldwide exposure through global radio and television broadcasts. Both case studies help further classical music as a form of popular culture. Earlier precedent demonstrates pieces of classical music being used for adverts or films and becoming popular. For example Ravel’s Bolero was used in a seduction scene in the film 10 between Bo Derek and Dudley Moore in 1984, and by ice-skaters Torvill and Dean in the same year for the final of the 1984 Winter Olympics. Another example is Orff’s Carmina Burana sections of which have been used for aftershave and lager adverts as well as being sung at football matches. Because the reach of the audience is larger than that in a traditional classical music setting, the pieces achieve a mass cultural perspective in this context. My thesis examines the impact that the success of the Four Seasons and Three Tenors releases had on the classical music business and the development in marketing and selling techniques that emanated from their success. Examples of marketing campaigns post the Four Seasons are included to show the extent of non-traditional classical marketing techniques used subsequently by the classical music industry, some of which I devised and implemented. My research also analyses how trading over the internet has had an impact on the music business as a whole, and how the classical music sector has followed the pop area of the music industry in creating different ways of selling to traditional and new consumers through online trading. This part of the thesis focuses on the period between 2000-2010, especially from 2006 when developments in this field progressed. My study will draw on a Case Study approach using multiple data collection methods. Also employed is descriptive analysis using a combination of qualitative and quantitative techniques, in particular through industry reports. The reasons for the sales success of both recordings are examined in my thesis. The Four Seasons achieved 2 million sales and an entry into the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling classical music recording of all time at that point. The recording of the 1990 Three Tenors concert and the successive recordings of similar concerts in 1994 and 1998 led to these albums becoming the all-time best-selling classical recordings. For example, worldwide sales for the 1990 recording reached over 12 million CDs, cassettes and videos combined and 23 million for the 1990, 1994 and 1998 Three Tenors recordings. These projects not only gave increased exposure to the classical music genre by expanding its traditional consumer reach, they also created a force for change in business models affecting the marketing and visibility of classical music since 1989. A further significant factor in the success of these vocal recordings (as well as the chance for classical music to be heard outside its traditional boundary) was the use of the arresting aria Nessun dorma from Puccini’s opera Turandot. This was sung by Pavarotti and used by the BBC for all its programmes broadcasting the 1990 football matches in the competition. The effect of internet selling and downloading on the music business was encouraged by the creation of Apple’s iTunes program in 2001. The invention of the iPod in 2002 and the legal entity of Napster in 2004 led to much increased accessibility of music. For classical music with its long movements and being part of a slow-moving market (compared to pop music), this area of the business only witnessed an increase in activity through the expansion of Broadband nationally during 2006 and 2007, reaching 70% in 2009 (discussed on page 90, chapter 4). Since then, the growth of classical music e-tailers has forged a new way of operating in the classical music field. The thesis will give examples of the leading companies trading over the internet and their influence on the classical music market. Contributions from practitioners in the music business inform my thesis through their own witnessing of changes in the classical music business since the Four Seasons campaign. My own experience as a former Head of Press and Promotion for both Decca Classics and EMI Classics, and also currently as a marketing and business consultant for classical music organisations, offers a useful and relevant addition to my research. My contribution to knowledge is to identify the adaptation of pop music marketing tools by the classical music industry over a 20 year time frame. My close involvement in the EMI Four Seasons campaign places me in a unique position to identify and evaluate the significance of the publicity campaign of that recording not only at that time but in the years that followed.

傳統期刊資訊組織的方式主要是編目與論文索引摘要，今電子期刊由於透過電腦網路的傳遞，也改變其資訊組織與檢索的概念。而資訊組織方式多元，取用多種管道，也造成使用者檢索複雜而多元的環境。 電子期刊提供全文期刊論文帶給學者專家許多便利，而深受使用者喜歡，但電子期刊也面臨多元取用管道與多元資訊組織的局面。電子期刊管理時要處理書目記錄、全文電子檔，以及二者的連結技術；另一方面電子期刊在資訊組織時涵蓋刊名、期數、論文單篇三個層級書目資料，造成電子期刊組織與取用的困難。 本研究透過文獻探討國內外電子期刊資訊組織與取用的相關議題，並透過深度訪談，以了解國內五所大學圖書館和六家廠商電子期刊資訊組織所面臨的問題與解決方法，是否能夠支援電子期刊的取用理論。 根據研究發現，提出結論如下：1.電子期刊的管理新模式；2.電子期刊使用者資訊取用的理論；3.我國圖書館電子期刊的取用管道；4.我國圖書館電子期刊資訊組織與技術；5.整合檢索系統對電子期刊的價值與影響；6.電子期刊取用的管道多元與紛歧；7.電子期刊取用的問題；8.電子期刊資訊組織與技術多元與紛歧；9.電子期刊組織與技術對圖書館帶來的問題。 最後針對前述研究結果提出建議： 對圖書館的建議：1.以使用者導向設計電子期刊的取用管道；2.電子期刊資訊組織與技術要應支援使用者資訊取用模式；3.簡化重整電子期刊管理的作業流程；4.對於維護多套系統的連結，可以採取自動維護或維護一套系統的方式；5.提供電子指定參考書的論文服務，以及電子期刊和數位學習的結合。 對廠商的建議：1.支援使用者中心取用；2.支援圖書館的電子期刊資訊組織；3.了解圖書館管理多套系統的困境，找到適切的方法；4.整合查尋系統可以多加強Portal和整合管理的功能；5.除了研發和銷售新系統，可以幫助圖書館適應新舊系統的過渡期；6.加入更多學術性的期刊，提昇內容權威；7.加強電子期刊回溯年代，解決禁刊問題 / The traditional ways of organizing journals are mainly to cataloge journals, to write abstracts, and to index journal articles. Today, through the transmission of computer network, the electronic journals change the concept of information organization and retrieval. Moreover, the plural forms of information organization and access also causes users to search information in a more complicated multi-environment. It is more convenient that the electronic journals offer the full-text articles to scholars, and users are deeply fond of it. However, the electronic journals meet with the situation of multi-access channels and multi-information organization. On the one hand, the electronic journals deal with the bibliographic records, full-text files, and the linking technology of both. On the other hand, the information organization of electronic journals contains bibliographic materials in three levels of titles, volumes, and articles. All of them cause the difficulty of organizing and using the electronic journals. This study is explored through literary reviews and in-depth interviews in order to understand the problems and solutions associated with electronic journals organization in five university libraries and six vendors in Taiwan and see if they can support the access theory of the electronic journals. Based on the research findings , the conclusions of this study are : 1.a new model of managing the electronic journals is proposed; 2.an User-centered access of the electronic journals theory is presented; 3.the library provides access to electronic journals through channels in Taiwan; 4.e-journals information organization and technology of library in Taiwan is presented; 5. meta-searching systems have the value and influence on the electronic journals; 6. access channels to electronic journals are multiple and fork confusingly; 7.the problems of accessing to electronic journals are studied; 8.there are multiple and confusingly-forked electronic journal information organization and technology; 9.the electronic journals cause the problem of organization and technology to library. Finally, according to the results of the study, several suggestions are provided : For the library: 1.the channel of the electronic journals should meet with the user’s need; 2.the organization and technology of electronic journals should support the user's needs; 3.it is necessary to simplify and reform the management procedure of the electronic journals; 4. the maintenance of the systematic linkages can be automatic or system-by-system.; 5.it should offer the integrating articles with courseware and electronic reserves. For the vendors: 1. they should support user-centered access; 2. they should support the information organization of the electronic journals for the library; 3. they should understand the difficulty of how the libraries manage the predicaments of many systems to find the appropriate solutions.; 4. Meta-searching systems should strengthen the functions of Portal and meta-management; 5.Except for developing and selling the new system, they can help the libraries to get through the transition period from an old system to the new system; 6.they should promote the authority of content in academic electronic journals; 7. the coverage of electronic journals should be enlarged to solve the problem of embargoes.

Science has been perceived as difficult to learn because of its nature and the methods by which it is usually taught. Most first-year science students entering higher education in South Africa today come from disadvantaged teaching and learning backgrounds. These students bring different “knowledge, skills or abilities” into the learning process. This knowledge, referred to as prior knowledge – or what the student already knows – is the single most important factor influencing learning (Ausubel, 1968). It is on the basis of this influence of prior knowledge on learning that the focus in this study is on understanding its manifestation in learning. Prior knowledge has both facilitating and inhibiting effects in learning. However, the focus in this study was only on inhibiting effects of prior knowledge on learning. To better understand prior knowledge qualitative methods (interview, observation, document review and the prior knowledge state test) were used. The aim was to specifically establish how students used their understanding of selected acid-base concepts and processes to construct understanding and to generate meaning of new concepts and/or knowledge. The study managed to highlight important aspects of the quality of prior knowledge and their manifestation in learning. The findings generally indicated that: <ul> <li>The quality of the knowledge that students possessed was in most instances incomplete. That is, in their description of concepts, students preferred to use summary and informal descriptions without understanding the meaning of the concepts they were describing.</li> <li> The quality of knowledge (e.g. incomplete knowledge) affected their ability to construct understanding and/or generate meaning as this knowledge was insufficient to access for the construction of scientifically valid meanings of concepts.</li> <li>The quality of students’ knowledge impeded their ability to reflect and/or to be aware of the knowledge they possessed. This made it difficult for students to access knowledge and to restructure it in order to construct new knowledge or prevent errors in their learning.</li> </ul> The study culminated in the development of a framework that may in future be used to assess prior knowledge and enhance meaningful teaching and learning based on the quality of students’ prior knowledge. / Thesis (PhD)--University of Pretoria, 2008. / Curriculum Studies / unrestricted

Cette thèse cherche à comprendre comment les mineur.e.s isolé.e.s en situation de migration, arrivé.e.s sans représentant légal sur le territoire français, peuvent bénéficier de la protection de l’enfance. Arrivé.e.s sur la scène de l’évaluation de la minorité et de l’isolement, ces jeunes migrant.e.s sont soumis.e.s à une épreuve de crédibilité narrative, comportementale et physique : ils ou elles doivent dévoiler leurs récits, leurs corps et leurs expressions non verbales en restant à tout prix un « enfant » aux yeux de ceux qui les jugent. Plusieurs questions sont alors posées : comment se construit le jugement de l’âge ? comment se forment les décisions de classement entre les « vrais » et les « faux » mineurs ? comment les acteurs de la protection de l’enfance sont-ils amenés à mobiliser des arguments, critères et justifications qui mènent à des pratiques de « gestion migratoire » ? Pour étudier les pratiques du jugement dans ce contexte d’incertitude qu’est l’évaluation de la minorité et de l’isolement, je propose donc une analyse de la sphère interne institutionnelle. A partir d’une enquête de terrain réalisée entre octobre 2014 et novembre 2016, d’abord dans un lieu d’évaluation de la minorité et de l’isolement géré par l’association France terre d’asile en région parisienne, puis auprès des différents acteurs de la « distribution » de la protection dans différents départements parisiens, et enfin autour de deux campements urbains auto-gérés par des migrant.e.s, cette thèse interroge, en étudiant le « quotidien » de l’institution, la façon dont les mineur.e.s isolé.e.s sont jugé.e.s, étiqueté.e.s et sélectionné.e.s avant d’avoir accès – ou non – à la protection de l’enfance. / This research seeks to understand how unaccompanied migrant children, that have arrived on French territory without a legal guardian can access child protective services. Arrived on the stage of the assessment of age and isolation, these young migrants’ narrative, behavioral and physical credibility is tested. Through their narratives, physical and non-verbal expressions, these children must demonstrate to those who judge them that they are a “child”, at all costs. Consequently, several questions can be asked: How can age be judged? How are the decisions of classification between the "true" and "fake" minors taken? How are child protection actors brought to mobilize arguments, criteria and justifications which lead to practices of "migratory management "? To study the practices of judgment in this context of uncertainty, meaning the assessment of age and isolation, this dissertation offers an analysis of the internal workings of institutions. The field investigation was carried out between October 2014 and November 2016, firstly in a centre of evaluation of age and isolation managed by the association France terre d’asile in Paris region, then with the various actors in charge of “distributing" the protection in various Parisian departments, and finally in two urban camps that are self-managed by migrants. Based on this investigation and through the study of everyday life of the institution, this dissertation questions the way unaccompanied children are judged, labelled and selected before having access - or not - to child protection.

In 1996 the South African government legalised the termination of pregnancy (TOP) services, allowing women to choose to terminate unplanned pregnancies at designated facilities. Although TOP services are available, pregnant women continue to use illegal abortion services, with potentially life-risking consequences. The purpose of this study was to identify challenges encountered by women requesting TOP services, and to make recommendations for improved policies and practices, enabling more women in the North West Province (NWP) to access TOP services. This was a non-experimental, exploratory, descriptive and quantitative study. Structured interviews were conducted with 150 women who had used TOP services in phase 1, with 50 women who were unable to access TOP services in phase 2 and with 20 professional nurses providing TOP services in the NWP in phase 3. In phase 1, 96.0% (n=144) of the women needed transport to access TOP services, and 73.2% (n=109) indicated that nurses put women’s names on waiting lists, posing barriers to such access in the NWP. In phase 2, 92.0% (n=46) of these respondents had reportedly requested TOPs for the first time, but 89.0% (n=44) could not access TOP services. In phase 3, only 14 out of 19 designated facilities in the NWP, and only 20 nurses, provided TOP services during the study period. Out of the 20 interviewed nurses, 74.0% (n=14) regarded the Choice on Termination of Pregnancy Act, Act 92 of 1996 (CTOP Act) was being unclear requiring a revision. These professional nurses provided TOP services in NWP, by choice. Unless more facilities and more nurses can provide TOP services to the women of the NWP, these services will continue to remain inaccessible, necessitating the continued utilisation of illegal abortion services, in spite of the TOP Act’s prescriptions. It is also recommended that management will provide sufficient support and training opportunities for professional nurses working in TOP services in the NWP. / Health Studies / (D. Litt. et Phil.
