No abstract provided. / Thesis / Bachelor of Arts (BA) / Introduction: The study attempts to explain the geographical conditions in Westminster Township. Emphasis is placed on the relationship existing between the township and the city of London, the large metropolitan centre adjacent to it. The problem is attacked from a functional point of view. The physical geography of the township is described. However, since historical forces are recognized in any study of settlement, one chapter is devoted to historical geography. The following chapters are devoted to communications and land use patterns, both rural and urban. The thesis is changing interrelationship, between the city and the township. It shows clearly that the city does not terminate at its political boundary, but encroaches upon the adjacent rural township. The result is a change in the character of the township in the shape of an "Urban Fringe" specialized agriculture and new super imposition of communications.

Il lavoro prende parte al dibattito scientifico su quali siano le più corrette modalità di attuazione del concetto di "sviluppo sostenibile". Attraverso l'applicazione dell'approccio coevolutivo allo studio condotto a Santiago del Cile, abbiamo cercato di rispondere alle seguenti domande: 1) Quali sono i problemi ambientali locali e quali le relative ripercussioni sociali? 2) Quali sono gli strumenti a disposizione delle municipalità locali per risolverli? 3) Quali strumenti vengono realmente impiegati e quali le ripercussioni sociali del loro utilizzo? / The work takes part in the scientific debate about the most correct ways to affect the sustainable development concept. Through the coevolutive approach application to Santiago case (Chile) we tried to answer following questions: 1) what are local environmental problems and what are their social repercussions? 2) What are instruments in the local municipalities hands in order to resolve them? 3) Which instruments are really employed and what are social repercussions from their use?

The research was based on the study titled Advanced Mathematical Thinking Processes of Tommy Dreyfus. The survey instrument was developed, implemented and analyzed using some phases of Didactic Engineering. The fourteen participants in this study were students of private university s math course in São Paulo city. The analysis of the student s protocols indicates that the following processes were mobilized: visualization, representation and switching representations, intuition, definition, discovery, validation, generalization, abstraction and synthesis. This allowed many students to conjecture that the derivation and integration are inverse operations of each other. The results of the survey explained that a work of this nature contributes greatly to students to take ownership of interrelationships between concepts involved in the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus / O presente estudo relata os resultados de uma pesquisa qualitativa cujo objetivo era investigar quais processos mentais podem intervir e ser combinados por alunos no desenvolvimento de atividades envolvendo a expressão = F(x) = f ( t )dt . Além disso, verificar se esse tipo de atividade favorece a compreensão das ideias centrais envolvidas no Teorema Fundamental do Cálculo. A pesquisa fundamentou-se no estudo de Tommy Dreyfus intitulado Processos do Pensamento Matemático Avançado. O instrumento de pesquisa foi elaborado, aplicado e analisado, utilizando algumas fases da Engenharia Didática. Os catorze participantes deste estudo eram alunos do curso Licenciatura em Matemática de uma universidade particular da cidade de São Paulo. A análise dos protocolos dos estudantes indica que os processos do PMA mobilizados foram: visualização, representação e mudança entre diferentes representações, intuição, definição, descoberta, validação, generalização, síntese e abstração. O que possibilitou que muitos dos participantes conjecturassem que a derivação e integração são operações inversas uma da outra. Os resultados da pesquisa explicitaram que um trabalho desta natureza muito contribui para que os alunos se apropriem de inter-relações entre conceitos envolvidos no Teorema Fundamental do Cálculo

Southern Sotho verbal relative clauses are, on discourse-pragmatic grounds, categorised as direct and indirect. The pragmatic factors that govern the occurrence of these two types of relatives within a particular discourse context are investigated. An analysis of relative clauses occurring in live conversations as well as in the dramas Bulane (Khaketla, 1983) and Tjootjo e tla hloma sese/a (Maake, 1992) reveals that direct relative clauses usually modify the reference of predicate nouns (i.e. nouns used as the complements of copulative predicates), while indirect relative clauses modify the reference of object nouns. Theories which suggest that both predicate as well as object nouns generally convey new information, but that the reference status of predicate nouns is non-specific indefinite, while that of object nouns is specific indefinite, are discussed. A hypothesis suggesting that there is an interrelationship between the reference status of a head noun and the type of relative by means of which it is qualified, is proposed. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)
