The cross-cultural transmission of the Christian faith sustains its growth and expansion. Indeed the reception of the Christian faith is from one cultural framework to another different cultural framework. However, this largely depends on the translation and the interpretation of the Bible, which has certainly been in agreement to the way the recipient cultures conceive reality. From the time Christianity came into existence, the introduction of biblical concepts on which Christianity stands in terms agreeable to the way the recipients conceive reality continues to offer a clear understanding of the same. Indeed, this has been from the perspective of the primal worldview. However, this was not the case in Africa, where the primal worldview was demonised, degraded and anathematised by the missionary enterprises. This indeed denied the Africa converts a chance to engage with the Bible in ways they would call their own, for they conceive reality in terms shaped by their primal worldview. This study has the Glkilyfi primal worldview as its particular reference, to whom the missionaries transmitted the biblical knowledge selectively with the hermeneutical method they used. Now there is indisputable evidence that Christianity is growing fast in places where people conceive reality from the perspective of the primal worldview. To sustain and maintain this growth, the Bible ought to be interpreted and translated from the perspective of the primal worldview. This is necessary because the growth of Christianity depends on the right understanding of biblical concepts. Yet they are incomprehensible unless they receive an interpretation that is compatible to the way people conceive reality. In that case, there is need to investigate whether the former methods of interpreting and translating the Bible have adequately communicated the Gospel to African Christians. It is also necessary to investigate whether there is need for a hermeneutical method shaped by the primal worldview. This study contends that the former hermeneutical methods have not adequately communicated the complete Gospel to the African Christians. In that case, there is need for a hermeneutical method shaped by the primal worldview. Evidence that leads to the quest of a hermeneutical method generated by the primal worldview is from the history of the expansion of Christianity and from the phenomenology of religion. The primal worldview has tools on which hermeneutics can depend on, hence gaining valid operating principles. On the other hand, there is evidence from the Scripture that the interpretation of the new from the perspective of the old is possible. In that case, the old facilitates and enables the understanding of the new. The Epistle to the Hebrews is a perfect example, showing that the interpretation and translation of Scripture from the perspective of the primal worldview are possible. This will safeguard spirituality and the spiritual view of life, which hermeneutics need, and which the former hermeneutical methods seem to have jettisoned. However, the former hermeneutical methods are not all useless in the hermeneutical discourse. The hermeneutical method generated by the primal worldview can use them as servants but not as masters. Besides, the hermeneutical method generated by the primal worldview ought to have a future and significance, without which it can sink to oblivion. Two complementary aspects guarantee its future and significance. Firstly, it is its engagement with the ordinary readers of the Bible in their context. Secondly, it is in the use of the mother tongue, so that hermeneutics can be appreciable to both the ordinary and trained readers of the Bible. This is the hermeneutical method, which African Christianity must turn to with urgency to ascertain its growth. / Thesis (M.Th.)-University of Natal, Pietermaritzburg, 2000.

AFRIKAANS: In hierdie studie is daar primêr vasgestel op watter wyse die skool 'n bydrae kan lewer om gesinslewe in Suid-Afrika te bevorder. Tegnologiese, industriële en ekonomiese ontwikkeling het daartoe gelei dat ouers dikwels nie hulle opvoedingsverant-woordelikheid na behore nakom nie, sodat die skool in 'n toenemende mate ook opvoedingstake soos vredes-, verkeersveiligheids-, geslags- en gesinsopvoeding moet oomeem. Die belangrike rol van die skool as 'n instansie wat in diens van die gemeenskap bestaan en wat ook as aanvullende ouer vir die kind moet dien, het baie duidelik in die studie na vore gekom. Die feit dat die skool daarom ook die gesinsproblematiek in die samelewing behoort aan te spreek, het, tesame met die feit dat die Interim Kernsillabus vir Voorligting emstige tekorte toon en onvoldoende leiding aan die opvoeder gee, aanleiding gegee tot die primêre navorsingsvraag: Hoe moet 'n Gesinsopvoedingsprogram vir leerders daaruit sien om hulle voor te berei vir verryking van hulle huidige asook hulle toekomstige persoonlike en gesinslewe? In Hoofstuk 2 is daar deur 'n situasie-analise 'n studie gemaak van die eietydse gesinsproblematiek. Die kwesbaarheid van die moderne gesin het 'n sterk kontras gevorm met die hegte pre-industriële gesin. Die wyse waarop maatskaplike druk en tegnologiese vooruitgang bygedra het tot die ontaarding van en funksieverskuiwing in die eietydse gesinslewe, het bygedra tot groter begrip vir die disfunksionering van die gesin van die een-en-twintigste eeu. Deur 'n studie van die manifestasies van bovermelde disfunksionering in die gesin is gesinspatologieë geïdentifiseer. In Hoofstuk 3 is Gesinsopvoeding vanuit internasionale perspektief bestudeer. Uit die studie het dit duidelik geword dat Gesinsopvoedingsprogramme in die buiteland ook daarop gemik is om sowel die persoonlike as die gesinslewe van die kind te bevorder. Die Histories-Opvoedkundige studie van Gesinsopvoeding in Suid-Afrika, word in Hoofstuk 4 beskryf. Die Interim Kernsillabus vir Voorligting van die Departement van Onderwys is ook bestudeer en tekorte en gebreke is geïdentifiseer. Een van die opvallendste gebreke in die vroeë sillabusse vir Gesinsopvoeding op Nasionale vlak, is die miskenning van die multikulturele behoeftes van die Suid-Afrikaanse samelewing. Die ontwerp van 'n leerprogram vir Gesinsopvoeding in skole is in Hoofstuk 5 gedoen. Gesinsopvoeding is op wetenskaplike wyse en ooreenkomstig pedagogiese grondstrukture, gefundeer. Die mees resente Onderwyswetgewing en beleidsdokument wat betrekking kan hê op die kurrikulering van 'n leerprogram vir Gesinsopvoeding is in ag geneem en 'n uitgebreide studie van Uitkomsgebaseerde Onderwys en riglyne vir opvoeders is verskaf aan die hand waarvan leergeleenthede ooreenkomstig die Uitkomsgebaseerde Onderrigbenadering en die behoeftes van elke besondere klasgroep beplan kan word. 'n Leerprogram vir die Grondslagfase, Intermediêre Fase, Senior Fase en Verdere Onderwys en Opleidingsband is ontwerp. Die onderskeie temas is verbesonder met die oog op die vervulling van die Kritieke Uitkomstes en Spesifieke Uitkomstes. Die Gesinsopvoedingsprogram is ontwerp om aan die eise en behoeftes van die gemeenskap, soos in die situasie-analise geopenbaar, asook aan die vereistes wat deur onderwysowerhede gestel word, byvoorbeeld die eis van Uitkomsgebaseerde Onderwys te voldoen. Die totale ontwerp is uitgevoer ooreenkomstig wetenskaplike vereistes soos daargestel deur 'n verantwoordelike kurrikuleringsproses. ENGLISH: This study primarily aimed to determine how the school could contribute towards promoting family life in South Africa. Technological, industrial and economic development led to parents often not fulfilling their responsibility to bring up their children adequately. This resulted in the school progressively taking over upbringing tasks such as teaching traffic safety, peace, sex education and family education. The important role of the school as an institution serving society and its complementary parental role emerged very clearly in this study. The fact that the school should address family problems in society, together with serious shortcomings and inadequate guidance to the educator in the Interim Core Syllabus for Guidance, gave rise to the formulation of the primary research problem: What should a Family Education Programme for learners be like in order to prepare them for the enrichment of their present and their future personal and family life? Chapter 2 presented a study of contemporary family problems by way of a situation analysis. The vulnerability of the family formed a sharp contrast with the close pre¬industrial family. The way in which social pressure and economic development contributed to the degeneration and shift in function of contemporary family life, contributed to greater understanding of the disfunctioning of the family in the twentieth century. Through a study of the manifestations of the above-mentioned disfunctionings in the family, family pathologies were identified. In Chapter 3 Family Education was studied from international perspective. It became apparent that Family Education Programmes abroad were aimed at promoting both the personal and the family life of the child. In Chapter 4 the historical educational study of Family Education in South Africa was described. The Interim Core Syllabus for Guidance of the Department of Education was also studied and shortcomings and flaws were identified. One of the most conspicuous flaws in the earlier syllabuses for Family Education on national level was the disregard for multicultural needs of the South African society. In Chapter 5 a learning programme for Family Education in schools was developed. It was based on scientific principles and founded according to pedagogic ground structures. The most recent legislation concerning education and policy documents regarding the curriculation of a learning programme for Family Education were taken into account and an extended study of Outcomes-Based Education was undertaken and applied to Family Education. Examples and guidelines for educators were provided according to which learning opportunities in accordance with Outcomes-Based Education and the needs of every particular class group may be planned. Learning programmes were designed for the Foundation, Intermediate, Senior Phases and the Further Education and Training Band. Different themes were specified with a view to meeting the Critical and the Specific Outcomes. The Family Education Programme was designed to fulfill the demands and needs of society as revealed in the situation analysis as well as the demands made by education authorities, for example, the demand for Outcomes-Based Education. The entire design was executed according to the demands made by a responsible curriculum process. / Thesis (PhD (Educational Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2007. / Curriculum Studies / Unrestricted

O estudo examina a qualidade de vida no trabalho em 27 organizações contempladas com o Prêmio Nacional de Qualidade de Vida concedido pela Associação Brasileira de Qualidade de Vida (ABQV), no período de 1996 a 2007. O principal objetivo foi analisar os instrumentos utilizados para avaliação, bem como os resultados das ações dos programas de qualidade de vida. O método de pesquisa foi estudo de campo, com realização de pesquisa quantitativa-descritiva, em duas etapas. Complementarmente, realizou-se múltiplo estudo de caso, para análise do Índice de Massa Corporal (IMC) dos funcionários. Concluiu-se que as ações de qualidade de vida no trabalho, quando analisadas à luz do modelo teórico biopsicossocial e organizacional (BPSO-96), contemplaram, predominantemente, a dimensão biológica (56%) seguida pela dimensão psicológica (25%), social (12%) e organizacional (7%). De todas as ações informadas, a alimentação e nutrição foi a que apresentou maior índice de execução (85,2%), disponibilizando informações e criando condições para uma dieta adequada, como prevenção de doenças e promoção da saúde. O resultado da análise do IMC, indicou que mais da metade dos funcionários estava com sobrepeso. A maioria dos programas de Qualidade de Vida no Trabalho (88%) foi avaliada, por instrumentos específicos, como indicadores do status de saúde dos funcionários e estresse, e por instrumentos genéricos para avaliação da Qualidade de Vida e Estilo de Vida. Com relação à produtividade, 26% organizações disponibilizaram informações sobre o turnover e 37% sobre absenteísmo. Na correlação dos dados com a data de implantação dos programas, concluiu-se que 72% das organizações tiveram diminuição do índice de turnover no período posterior à implantação do programa e 40% tiveram diminuição do índice de absenteísmo. Ao final do trabalho, apresentou-se um modelo de avaliação integrada de qualidade de vida no trabalho. / This study examines life quality at work in 27 organizations awarded the National Prize for Quality of Life by ABQV (Associação Brasileira da Qualidade de Vida, the Brazilian Quality of Life Association) over the period from 1996 to 2007. The main target was to analyze the instruments used for the evaluation, as well as the results of actions adopted by the quality of life programs. A field study with a quantitative-descriptive research was carried out in two phases. Complementarily, a multiple case study was carried out to analyze the Body Mass Index (BMI) of the employees. It was concluded that quality of working life actions, when analyzed according to the theoretical bio-psycho-social (BPSO-96) model, approached mainly the biological (56%), psychological (25%), social (12%) and organizational (7%) aspects. Among all informed actions, feeding and nutrition was the most extensively carried out (85.2%), making information available and creating conditions for an adequate diet such as disease prevention and health promotion. The results for BMI analysis indicated that more than half the employees were overweight. Most of quality of working life programs (88%), were evaluated using specific instruments such as indicators of the health status and stress of the employees and generic instruments for evaluating Quality of Life and Life Style. Concerning productivity, 26% of the organizations provided information about turnover and 37% provided information about absenteeism. When correlating the data with the date of the program implementation, it was concluded that 72% of the organizations showed a lower turnover after the program implementation and 40% showed a lower absenteeism. At the end of the work, a model for integrated evaluation of quality of working life was presented.

This City should be inclusive, safe, resilient and sustainable, in accordance with SDG11. In this way, this work proposes to analyze the evolution of the right to housing, from the right to human settlements to the right to the city, through the analysis of the three UN-Habitat Conferences, which deal with the subject, and the deployment of these Conferences in Brazilian legislation, with a special focus on the My House My Life Program, the main Brazilian housing policy, which was the basis of a comparison between the Brazilian reality and the international legal order on housing. / Com o advento da Nova Agenda Urbana, a Organiza??o das Na??es Unidas (ONU) passou a tratar a moradia n?o somente como o espa?o f?sico que abriga uma fam?lia, mas como o espa?o f?sico inserido em um contexto maior: o contexto da cidade, consolidando, assim, o direito ? cidade. Cidade essa que deve ser includente, segura, resiliente e sustent?vel, nos termos do ODS11. Dessa forma, esse trabalho se prop?s a analisar a evolu??o do direito ? moradia, desde o direito a assentamentos humanos at? o direito ? cidade, por meio da an?lise das tr?s Confer?ncias da ONU-Habitat, que tratam sobre o tema, e os desdobramentos dessas Confer?ncias na legisla??o brasileira, com especial enfoque para o Programa Minha Casa Minha Vida, principal pol?tica habitacional brasileira, que foi base de uma compara??o entre a realidade brasileira e o ordenamento jur?dico internacional sobre moradia.
