The main objective of this study was to analyze the contribution of Program: Re-defining Family Origins of the Healthcare Professional (PRORFOPS) in the theoretical aggregation and the redefinition of professional healthcare practices belonging to the multidisciplinary team from Basic Health Unit (UBS). A total of 15 professionals participated in this project with an emphasis on the intergenerational aspects of family interactions and affective communication. Its specific objectives were: to gain an understanding of families in their interconnected systems, the intergenerational relationships, the affective communication; the process of individualism expanding one s perception of "self" in a relational construct, the potential of the group and their own strengthening; the relevance of themes discussed in the view of these professionals. The following instruments were used: Life Stories, Genograms, Memory Booklets and Questionnaires. The data was analyzed using qualitative tools for Content Analysis, indicating an integration of individual speech within the interconnected systems, and a shift of this same speech towards a relational understanding of self, sensitizing the participants to co-responsibility in familial and social relations / Esse estudo foi realizado em Delfim Moreira (MG), na área de saúde e trata-se de uma pesquisa de campo, de caráter exploratório-descritiva, abordada sob a forma de pesquisa qualitativa dentro de uma visão do Construcionismo Social. O objetivo maior desse estudo foi analisar a contribuição do Programa de Ressignificação da Família de Origem do Profissional de Saúde (PRORFOPS) na complementação teórica e ressignificação da prática de profissionais da saúde pertencentes à equipe multidisciplinar da Unidade Básica de Saúde (UBS). Participaram desse projeto 15 profissionais dando-se ênfase aos aspectos intergeracionais das interações familiares e comunicação afetiva. Seus objetivos específicos foram: a compreensão das famílias atendidas enquanto sistemas interconectados, a Intergeracionalidade, a comunicação afetiva; o processo de individuação ampliando a percepção do si mesmo em construção relacional, as potencialidades do grupo de trabalho e seu fortalecimento; a pertinência dos temas trabalhados, segundo a visão desses profissionais. Utilizou-se dos seguintes instrumentos: Histórias de Vida, Genograma, Livreto de Memórias e Questionários. Os dados obtidos foram analisados com ferramentas qualitativas de Análise de Conteúdo. Essa análise apontou para uma integração do discurso individual com o dos sistemas interligados, e um deslocamento deste mesmo discurso para uma compreensão do eu relacional, sensibilizando o participante para a co-responsabilidade relacional, familiar, social

本論文旨在探討非營利組織及其捐贈者所享受的租稅優惠，是否應依組織性質的不同而有所差異。本研究參考相關文獻及美國內地稅法的分類方式，將國內非營利組織依公益性質及商業性質劃分為六類，並寄發問卷詢問國內會計師、營利事業財務主管及負責人、非營利組織管理者及負責人、學者及稅務人員對此六類組織及其捐贈者享受各項免稅優惠的贊同程度。本研究以敘述統計、t檢定及一般線性模式等統計分析方法對文獻探討所建立的假說進行測試，得出下列實證結果： 一、各界對於非營利組織及捐贈者享受免稅優惠的贊同程度，依組織公益性質的不同而有顯著的差異。公益程度愈高者，各界贊成免稅的程度愈高。 二、各界對於非營利組織及捐贈者享受免稅優惠的贊同程度，依組織商業性質的不同而有顯著的差異。各界對不具商業性質的組織有較高的免稅贊同度。 三、各界對於非營利組織及其捐贈者享受租稅減免優惠的贊同度，因減免項目的不同而有顯著的差異。 四、各界對於捐贈者享受所得稅或遺贈稅扣除優惠的贊同程度高於非營利組織本身享受各稅減免的贊同程度。 五、非營利組織管理者對於組織本身享受所得稅、營業稅、關稅及財產稅免稅優惠的贊同度顯著高於其他受試者。 經過文獻探討、各國免稅規定之比較及實證結果分析之後，本文重要的結論與建議如下： 一、鑒於公益性組織與互益性組織在所得稅上享受相同的租稅優惠，建議修改免稅適用標準，比照英美的做法將非營利組織依公益性質有系統的劃分為二至三類，並依組織公益性質的不同給予不同程度的租稅優惠。例如：對私人基金會的投資所得課徵特種稅(excise tax)；個人或企業對互益性組織的捐贈行為應享受較少的所得稅及遺產及贈與稅之免稅優惠。 二、建議恢復部分非營利組織銷售行為免稅的規定，可參酌英國、美國、新加坡及德國的稅法規定，將免稅範圍限制於符合免稅目的或慈善目的之銷售行為，或給予具商業性質的組織及其捐款者較低程度的免稅優惠。 / This study classifies the nonprofit organizations in Taiwan into six categories in terms of the degree of their public and business characteristics. The subjects are asked to express their opinion to the tax exemption of these six kinds of the nonprofit organizations. The subjects include the scholars, the certified public accountants, the managers and executive officers of the nonprofit organizations and the business companies, and the tax collectors of the tax authority. Descriptive statistics, t tests, and GLM are applied to analyze the responses of the subjects. The following results are obtained: 1. The subjects' agreement to the tax exemption of the nonprofit and its donators are significantly influenced by the degree of public for the organizations. The higher the degree of public for the organizations, the higher the subjects' agreement. 2. The subjects' agreement to the tax exemption of the nonprofit and its donators are significantly influenced by the degree of business for the organizations. The subjects have higher agreement to the tax exemption of the non-commercial organizations. 3. The subjects' agreement to the tax exemption of the nonprofit and its donators are significantly different between the different taxes. 4. The subjects' agreement to the tax deduction for donation is higher than the agreement to the tax exemption for NPO. 5. The managers of the nonprofit organizations have higher agreement to the tax exemption of the nonprofit than other subjects. After analyzing the responses of the subjects and comparing the tax laws of several countries, we provide following proposals to revise the tax laws. 1. The nonprofit need to be systematically classified according to the public characteristics and treated differently. For example, the investment income of the private foundations needs to be taxed for excise tax; donators of the mutual organizations should be benefited less by the deduction of the income tax and estate tax. 2. The tax exemption of the sales conduct of some nonprofit organizations should be retained but subjected to the organizations whose conduct conforms to the charitable or exempt purposes. Besides, the commercial organizations should be benefited less by the tax exemptions.

The current mainstream classroom presents several challenges for teachers and principals. Leaner diversity is seen as one of these challenges that teachers face. The Education White Paper 6 (South-Africa, 1996) recognizes all learner diversities, yet gifted-education is given minimal attention. The purpose of this qualitative research is to create a clear picture about the perspectives of high-school teachers, principals and parents of academically-gifted learners. This study seeks to identify the participants’ views about the education of academically-gifted learners and identify possibly gaps in ways of how academically-gifted learners can be supported productively. The research found that there is currently a lack of adequate educational support to academically-gifted learners. Research shows that there is a gap between official educational policies and the classroom situation. Participants in the study admit that academically-gifted learners are not effectively included in the mainstream classroom. Participants believe that the lack of a national definition of academic-giftedness, the deficit to appropriate training for teachers and the views of inclusive education puts strain on the education of these learners. Secondary school teachers and principals believe that the successful implementation of a policy an appropriate education of academically-gifted learners can only be accomplished if there is cooperation between all interested parties. Participants believe that both the parent and the teachers of academically-gifted learners should work together to form a support network for these learners. The findings of the research confirm the need for appropriate productive education and training to academically-gifted learners, so that all stakeholders can work together to help those learners develop. / MEd (Comparative Education), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2014

Gerard Manley Hopkins produced poetry in the Victorian era which was noted for its originality of syntax and form. The essence underlying a large body of his poetry was his Catholic religion. His early religious poetry utilized nature-based metaphors to express his love of Christ and trace the immanence of God within nature. He borrowed heavily from the aesthetics of Pater and the philosophy of Duns Scotus. The dissertation explores these early influences and assesses their contribution to the formation of a unique religious interpretation of life and the formulation of an aesthetic congruent with this religion. The dissertation dissects early symptoms of religious doubt within his poetry and finally analyses his `Terrible Sonnet' phase in detail to ascertain whether the crisis so often described as occurring during this period was religious or merely reflected a loss of creative ability. / English Studies / MA (English)

Gangs exist as metaphors of the societies in which they are embedded and are powerful, hence the need is great for an ecologically powerful model and a collation of a picture about gangs and gang life as described by knowledgeable individuals. With so much literature and knowledgeable individuals at hand to provide insight into the problem, the rationale for this study comes forth in the form of taking all this knowledge and insight and creating a collation of a picture of gangs as it is understood by those who study them and by those who have been confronted with them. The theoretical framework is a social constructionist cybernetic epistemology. One-on-one interviews were conducted with knowledgeable sources and audio-visual material assisted in understanding the context of gangs better. A hermeneutic analysis was used. The interview transcripts from the participants were analysed and themed according to a thematic network analysis and linked with available literature. These themes were then used to represent a Time Cable of gangs. / Psychology / M.A. (Psychology)

This thesis addresses three interrelated challenges of disease mapping and contributes a new approach for improving visualization of disease burdens to enhance disease surveillance systems. First, it determines an appropriate threshold choice (smoothing parameter) for the adaptive kernel density estimation (KDE) in disease mapping. The results show that the appropriate threshold value depends on the characteristics of data, and bandwidth selector algorithms can be used to guide such decisions about mapping parameters. Similar approaches are recommended for map-makers who are faced with decisions about choosing threshold values for their own data. This can facilitate threshold selection. Second, the study evaluates the relative performance of the adaptive KDE and spatial empirical Bayes for disease mapping. The results reveal that while the estimated rates at the state level computed from both methods are identical, those at the zip code level are slightly different. These findings indicate that using either the adaptive KDE or spatial empirical Bayes method to map disease in urban areas may provide identical rate estimates, but caution is necessary when mapping diseases in non-urban (sparsely populated) areas. This study contributes insights on the relative performance in terms of accuracy of visual representation and associated limitations. Lastly, the study contributes a new approach for delimiting spatial units of disease risk using straightforward statistical and spatial methods and social determinants of health. The results show that the neighborhood risk map not only helps in geographically targeting where but also in tailoring interventions in those areas to those high risk populations. Moreover, when health data is limited, the neighborhood risk map alone is adequate for identifying where and which populations are at risk. These findings will benefit public health tasks of planning and targeting appropriate intervention even in areas with limited and poor-quality health data. This study not only fills the identified gaps of knowledge in disease mapping but also has a wide range of broader impacts. The findings of this study improve and enhance the use of the adaptive KDE method in health research, provide better awareness and understanding of disease mapping methods, and offer an alternative method to identify populations at risk in areas with limited health data. Overall, these findings will benefit public health practitioners and health researchers as well as enhance disease surveillance systems.

Notre constat de départ est que malgré un intérêt croissant des institutions enseignant les langues étrangères pour l’enseignement de la traduction, il n’existe à notre connaissance aucune étude portant sur la conception d’un programme de traduction professionnelle adapté à des apprenants de langues étrangères qui leur permettrait d’acquérir la compétence traductionnelle, c’est-à-dire les savoirs et savoir-faire nécessaires au traducteur en contexte professionnel. Ces institutions confondent souvent l’enseignement de la traduction et la traduction utilisée comme outil d’enseignement des langues étrangères. Le programme de traduction de l’université du Botswana ne fait pas exception, et nous proposons donc de le reconceptualiser afin qu’il réponde aux exigences de la profession. Par la mise à l’épreuve du modèle de l’analyse matricielle définitoire, outil linguistique destiné à interpréter et comparer la manière dont les langues naturelles construisent le sens, la présente thèse se propose de déceler les paramètres de l’environnement d’apprentissage sur lesquels une intervention est requise pour améliorer la qualité du programme et le rendre plus efficace. Pour ce faire, nous analyserons les erreurs de traduction commises par les étudiants qui suivent ce programme en vue d’en identifier les sources et de prendre les mesures destinées à en réduire la probabilité d’occurrence par la définition d’objectifs d’apprentissage adaptés à ce public, accompagnés des bases d’une solide assise théorique à destination de l’enseignant. / Our initial observation is that, in spite of the growing interest in teaching translation in institutions offering foreign language programmes, no study, to our knowledge, has been done on the designing of a professional translation programme appropriate for foreign language learners which could allow them to acquire translation competence, that is, knowledge and skills required by translators in a professional setting. These institutions often confuse teaching of translation and use of translation as a foreign language teaching tool. The translation programme of the University of Botswana is no exception, and we therefore propose to redesign it so that it can respond to the requirements of the profession. By putting to test the Defining Matrix Analysis model, a linguistic tool intended to interpret and compare the way natural languages construct sense, this thesis proposes to find the parameters of the learning environment on which an intervention is required in order to improve the quality and the efficiency of this programme. To achieve this goal, we are going to analyse translation errors made by students who are pursuing this translation programme with the aim of identifying their sources and taking measures destined to reduce their probability of occurrence by defining learning objectives adapted to this group of learners, accompanied by a solid theoretical basis for teachers.
