M. Tech. Business Information Systems / The Department of Education should be contributing to the South African government's objective to provide a better life for all. However, the provision of education to all is hampered by the fact that a significant majority of the South African population is plagued by high levels of poverty resulting in learners attending school without having had a nutritious meal. Consequently, the provision of food in South African schools, as a lead project of the Reconstruction and Development Programme, referred to as the 'feeding scheme', was introduced. This project aimed to improve both health and education by fighting malnutrition and improving the ability of learners to concentrate during lessons. The South African government provides the funds for the school feeding programme for learners from primary to secondary schools and the Department of Education spends a large amount of money on this programme nationally. However, there is no precise data showing how successful the feeding programme is. In order for the Department of Education to meet its objectives, it is recommended that an efficient system be developed for keeping records of all the reports. It is thus critical to explore the potential use of technologies, such as interactive voice response systems. The interactive voice response solutions have the potential to assist the Department of Education in monitoring and evaluating the school feeding programme in timely, accurate and reliable ways. This research aims to evaluate how this interactive voice response system can be implemented to effectively enhance the monitoring of the feeding programme in South African schools.

Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento CientÃfico e TecnolÃgico / Objetiva propor uma educaÃÃo alimentar para crianÃas, tendo como literatura de suporte o livro de Ziraldo: Almanaque Maluquinho â Julieta no mundo da culinÃria. Essa proposta pretende fugir dos paradigmas prescritivos e caminhar para um modelo âestÃticoâ, que possui fundamento teÃrico na Filosofia do alemÃo Friedrich Schiller, especificamente na sua obra Cartas sobre a educaÃÃo estÃtica do homem, contribuindo para a inserÃÃo de uma nova proposta de educaÃÃo alimentar, sob a Ãptica da seguranÃa alimentar e nutricional. A pesquisa, fundamentada na tese de que a EstÃtica à uma proposta pedagÃgica que colabora para uma educaÃÃo alimentar menos prescritiva e mais significativa na vida das crianÃas, foi realizada na Creche-Escola Tia LÃa, com sete crianÃas do 5 ano do Ensino Fundamental, onde, por meio de um LaboratÃrio CulinÃrio, desenvolveu-se o que se denominou EducaÃÃo Alimentar EstÃtica, dando oportunidade as crianÃas, com suporte na sensibilizaÃÃo promovida com o preparo das receitas contidas no livro Almanaque Maluquinho â Julieta no mundo da culinÃria, de refletirem esteticamente sobre sua alimentaÃÃo, colaborando para a formaÃÃo de sujeitos ativos e que saibam tomar decisÃes mais saudÃveis no seu cotidiano. Trata-se de uma pesquisa qualitativa, onde se utilizou a metodologia da bricolagem, que possibilitou fazer uso de variados instrumentos e tÃcnicas de coleta e anÃlise de dados, como estudo de caso, entrevista, observaÃÃo participante, questionÃrios, diÃrio de campo, anÃlise reflexiva e anÃlise de discurso. De modo geral, poder-se-ia dizer que esta tese à uma investigaÃÃo descritiva, inserida no campo das pesquisas qualitativas e que se desenvolve por meio de um estudo de caso. Nessa caminhada, em busca da educaÃÃo alimentar estÃtica, dialogou-se com vÃrios autores, tais como Bezerra, Montanari, Carneiro, Vergueiro, Kincheloe, Berry, PÃcheux e Minayo, de modo interdisciplinar, que pesquisam sobre diferentes assuntos, como cultura, alimentaÃÃo, Filosofia, SemiÃtica, Artes e EducaÃÃo, mostrando a complexidade do tema proposto. Percebeu-se que a pesquisa proporcionou sensibilizar o olhar, o contato direto com o alimento, o prazer na hora de fazer e de comer, a possibilidade de experimentar novos alimentos, o prazer de comer junto de quem se gosta, o respeito ao outro e o sentimento de solidariedade, a inserÃÃo da ludicidade em um campo do saber marcado pela prescriÃÃo, alÃm do aprender a reparar receitas. / Aims to propose a food education for children, and its supporting literature book Ziraldo: Nutty Almanac - Juliet in the culinary world. This proposal seeks to escape the paradigm and move towards a prescriptive model "aesthetic", which has theoretical foundation in the philosophy of the German Friedrich Schiller, specifically in his book Letters on the Aesthetic Education of Man, contributing to the insertion of a new proposal for food education under the context of food security and nutrition. The research, based on the thesis that the aesthetic is a pedagogical proposal that contributes to an education food less prescriptive and more significant in the lives of children, was held at the Nursery-School Aunt Leah, with seven children in the 5th grade of elementary school, where through a Culinary Lab, developed what was called Aesthetic Education Food giving opportunity children with awareness support promoted in the preparation of the recipes in the book Almanac Nutty - Juliet in the culinary world, to reflect on aesthetically their food, contributing to the formation of active subjects and they know make healthier decisions in their daily lives. This is a qualitative study, which used the methodology of bricolage, which enabled to use various tools and techniques for collecting and analyzing data, as a case study, interview, observation, questionnaires, field diary, reflective analysis and discourse analysis. In general, it may be said that this thesis is a descriptive investigation, entered in the field of qualitative research, which develops through a case study. On this journey, in search of food education aesthetic, dialogued with several authors, such as Bezerra, Montanari, Ram, Vergueiro, Kincheloe, Berry, and PÃcheux MINAYO so interdisciplinary, researching on different subjects such as culture, food, Philosophy, Semiotics, Arts and Education, showing the complexity of the proposed topic. It was felt that the research provided sensitize the look, the direct contact with the food, the pleasure in time to make and eat, the ability to try new foods, the pleasure of eating with whom you love, respect for others and sense of solidarity, inclusion of playfulness in a field of knowledge marked by prescription, in addition to learning how to repair revenues.

Human trafficking is an ever-growing crime in this century. It is estimated that there are 29.8 million slaves around the world today - 16.36% of which are located in sub-Saharan Africa. The sub-Saharan region is a region in which human trafficking is combatted ineffectively due to a lack of food, lack of access to education, lack of post-education opportunities and lack of proper legislation. This thesis explores the environment in which human trafficking is taking place in sub-Saharan Africa, and proposes potential changes that will theoretically disallow human trafficking to take place in the region. The only way in which an environment conducive to trafficking in persons will ever change is through establishing partnerships amongst governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and other international organizations. Through the analysis of case law from the United Nations Human Trafficking Case Law Database, data from the World Bank, the United States State Department Trafficking in Persons Reports, the United Nations Global Reports on Human Trafficking, and various reports from NGOs, this thesis evaluates the approaches taken by various governments in sub-Saharan Africa to change the environment in which human trafficking thrives. Through raising awareness of the environment of sub-Saharan Africa, and by describing three ways in which human trafficking can be combatted effectively, such as the use of food, education, and the law, this thesis contributes not only to the legal discipline, but also to helping combat trafficking in persons effectively throughout the world.
