Title: Radiation corrections to atomic spectra. Author: Vojtěch Patkóš Department: Department of chemical physics and optics Supervisor: doc. Mgr. Jaroslav Zamastil, Ph.D., KCHFO Abstract: In present time accuracy of spectroscopic measurements achieved fan- tastic accuracy 1 part in 10 to the power 14. If these measures are followed by theoretical calculations of similar accuracy we can test quantum electrodynamics and part of the standard model responsible for parity violating weak forces by comparing theory and experiment and set some of the basic physical constants like Rydberg constant, mass and radius of nucleus, constant of fine structure and it's variation in time etc. For achieving this kind of accuracy of calculations one must take into account so called radiation corrections. This thesis focus is on accurate calculation of the most important of them, the self-energy of electron in one-loop aproximation. Keywords: Quantum electrodynamics, radiation corrections, self-energy of elec- tron.

In this research project the overcrowding problem in South African prisons will be analysed as well as the influence it had on the rehabilitation of offenders. The problem of overcrowding in South Africa's prisons is very clear when the approved accommodation of a prison is compared with the actual number of prisoners incarcerated. Prison sentences are a favoured form of punishment throughout the world. More and more people seek alternatives to incarceration in order to reduce prison overcrowding. The time to finalize criminal cases, releases on bail, the abolishment of minimum sentences and better utilization of community based sentences are some of the issues which can reduce overcrowding. One of the concepts that was implemented to establish rehabilitation within prisons was Unit Management. The number of prisoners incarcerated makes it difficult for Unit Management to be effective. In some cases prisoners are kept under inhumane conditions which is a violation of the Constitution of South Africa. Currently the morale of members of Correctional Services is very low and this has an influence on the way in which they treat prisoners. These members are supposed to be an example to prisoners but instead their bad behaviour has a negative influence on prisoner's discipline. Correctional Services goal is to make every member a rehabilitator but overcrowding will first have to be reduced. Individual attention to prisoners is one of the building blocks of Unit Management but overcrowding of prisons creates a member/prisoner ratio which is far too high to be effective with rehabilitating prisoners. Community based sentences can also be utilized more frequently by the courts. It can better rehabilitation possibilities and through this the objectives of punishment are met. In the past the focus of South African Law was on the criminal. With the Correctional Services Act (Act 111/1998) this focus was shifted to the victim as well. Both these parties can now come together and discuss the offence as well as the influence it had on the victim. This is called restorative justice and it helps the offender with re-integration into the community. / Criminology and Security Science / D. Litt. et Phil. (Penology)

Summaries in English and Afrikaans / Die proefskrif poog om 'n penologiese evaluering rakende die assessering van oortreders vir korrektiewe toesig weer te gee. Korrektiewe toesig is 'n vonnisopsie wat oortreders binne die gemeenskap rebabiliteer. 'n Literatuurstudie oor die ontwikkeling van korrektiewe toesig in verskillende wereldlande is ingestel asook die wetlike ontstaan en praktiese toepassing in Suid-Afrika. Korrektiewe toesig is met deeglike navorsing deur die Krugel-Werkgroep vooraf gegaan. Die Witskrif rakende die Departement van Korrektiewe Dienste wat op navorsing gevolg bet, is gedurende Mei 1991 in die parlement van Suid-Afrika ter tafel gele. Parlementsdebatte is gevolg deur wetswysigings van onder andere die Strafproseswet, 1977 en die Wet op Gevangenisse, 1959. Eenstemmigheid het genoemde parlementsitting gekenmerk wat gevolg het tot die instelling van korrektiewe toesig. Korrektiewe toesig soos deur die Departement van Korrektiewe Dienste toegepas word, is ondersoek maar veral die funksionering van huisarres, monitering en gemeenskapsdiens. Die assessering van oortreders en hul promovering vanaf maksimum intensiewe na medium - en na minimum - van huisarres sowel as monitering is nagegaan. Assesseringsmetodes van die State Georgie en Wisconsin in die V.S.A. asook ander kriteria is ondersoek om die geskiktheid van oortreders te klassifiseer deur middel van 'n seleksieproses. 'n Profielstudie van kandidate by die Kaapstadse gemeenskapskorreksie-kantoor is opgestel met 'n ondersoek vanuit 624 gevalle asook die menings van landdroste in Pretoria en die distrik van Wonderboom rakende korrektiewe toesig. / This thesis is an attempt to give a penological evaluation relating to the assessment and suitability of offenders for correctional supervision. Correctional supervision is a sentencing option aimed at rehabilitating offenders within community context. This research will focus on the development of correctional supervision in differnt countries around the world inclusive of South Africa. The implementation of correctional supervision in South Africa was precede by research done by the Kriigel Commission. In May 1991 a White paper was tabled in Parliament regarding the broadening of the mission of the Department of Correctional Services. Much debate in Parliament resulted in amendments to inter alia the Criminal Procedures Act, 1977 and the Prisons Act, 1959. In this thesis the application of cor!'ectional supervision as redered by the Department of Correctional Services is investigated with special reference to house arrest, monitoring and community service. Assessment and promotion from maximum intensive to medium intensive and to minimum intensive supervision are also looked at. Assessment methods and other criteria in the States of Georgia and Wisconsin in the United States of America are investigated in order to propose classification categories for the selection of offenders. A profile of an offender under supervision was undertaken with 624 cases from the Cape Town office for Correctional Supervision as well as in Pretoria and the district of Wonderboom. / Criminology and Security Science / D.Litt. et Phil.

No contexto clássico, descrevemos suas principais propriedades, tais como a invariância de calibre e a estrutura do propagador associado quando este modelo é adicionado à teoria de Maxwell. A principal característica desse modelo é a de que ele nos fornece um par de excitações (uma não massiva e outra massiva) para o modo de propagação das ondas eletromagnéticas. No contexto quântico, estudamos a possibilidade de induzir esse termo na ação efetiva da eletrodinâmica quântica via correções radiativas de determinante fermiônico em um laço. Neste caso, analisamos sua ocorrência em temperatura zero e nita. O resultado oriundo da temperatura nita tem como propriedade gerar novas excitações para os modos de propagação das ondas eletromagnéticas de pendentes da temperatura. / In this work we studied the classical and quantum aspects of derivative extension of the Chern-Simons Abelian model in electro dynamics in (2+1) dimensions. In classical context, we describe their main properties such as gauge in variance and the structure of the associated propagator when this template is added to Maxwell's theory. The main feature of this model is that it provides us a pair of excitation (one not massive and another massive) for the propagation mode of the electromagnetic waves. In the quantum context, we studied the possibility of inducing this term in thee active action of quantum electrodynamics via radiative corrections of fermionic determinant in loop. In this case, we analyze its occurrence at zero and nite temperature. The result a rising from the nite temperature has the property to generate new excitement for the modes of propagation of electromagnetic waves dependent of temperature.
