This research project is an attempt to determine how principals handle educator misconduct in public schools in a sample of both primary and secondary schools. Procedures on handling misconduct are still new to schools principals. The need to empower principals with knowledge and procedures to handle educator misconduct is the main concern of the study. The main aim of the study is to investigate how principals handle educator misconduct in public schools. It is revealed in the introductory orientation of this study that educator misconduct is one of major challenges in principals' management of schools. Educator misconduct is a continuous problem that principals experience in their management of schools. Principals being given legal authority to handle less serious misconduct at school level, have a mammoth task and responsibility to ensure that procedural requirements are met in such misconduct cases. The attempts to workshop train and educate principals on handling educator misconduct which all proved insufficient. Misconduct among educators is on the increase and principals seem to fall short of handling such misconduct cases properly. In this regard both the literature study and an empirical investigation through interviews are used in the study. Principals are involved because they have a duty to handle educator misconduct. Procedures handling misconduct also involve educators. These data collection methods are useful in providing insights into principals' handling of educator misconduct as well as getting educators' views on how principals handle misconduct cases. The findings and recommendations of this study are expected to improve principals' handling of educator misconduct. The findings are supposed to help principals to realise the need to follow procedural steps and to apply principles of handling misconduct fairly and consistently. Based on what the study will find, it is recommended that principals adhere to principles, rules and procedures of handling misconduct as they serve to empower principals in their management responsibilities. Principals support mechanisms in the form of workshops, seminars and training programme should be provided to ensure that principals are well trained and have clear knowledge in both theory and practice of handling educator misconduct. / Dissertation (MEd (Education Management and Policy Studies))--University of Pretoria, 2003. / Education Management and Policy Studies / unrestricted

Resan i förskolans livskunskap-en studie baserad på sex pedagogers tankar och erfarenheter av att arbeta med livskunskap i förskolan.Vårt syfte och våra frågeställningar inriktar sig på vilken syn pedagoger ute i verksamheten har och hur de arbetar med livskunskap i förskolans vardag. Sammanfattningen av studiens analys vill vi ska inspirera till diskussioner kring ämnet. Vi ger en teoretisk översikt där teoretiker och forskare som fokuseras bl.a. är Piaget, Kholberg, Lögstrup, D. Mayer & Salovey, Gardner, Vygotskij, Antonovsky, Steinberg samt Dewey. Undersökningen har gjorts med hjälp av sex kvalitativa intervjuer. Vi har intervjuat två stycken pedagoger per förskola, på två olika förskolor, samt en pedagog på en tredje förskola. En intervju gjordes även med Eva Mathiasson Thorbert som har skrivit boken Hjärtestunder - livskunskap i förskolan (2006).Med utgångspunkt från pedagogers uppfattningar om livskunskap i förskolan samt metodboken Hjärtestunder, så har vi konkretiserat och problematiserat begreppet livskunskap. Sammanfattningsvis pekar det som framkommit ur intervjuerna och litteraturen på att begreppet livskunskap inte är helt lätt att definiera. Hur man definierar begreppet beror på vem som tolkar det och vilken situation man befinner sig. Pedagogerna arbetar olika med livskunskap beroende på barngruppens behov och förutsättningar. / Jessica Rode and Josefin Rode, University of Malmö, teatchers education. A journey about lifeknowledge in infant school- a study based on six pedagogues thoughts and experiences about working with lifeknowledge in infant school.Our purpose and our questions is about which experiences and opinions pedagogues have about the work with lifeknowledge in infant school, and which work method the prefer and are using. We want the summary of the studys analysis to inspire to discussions about the subject.We give an theoretical overview which includes theorists och researchers such as Piaget, Kholberg, Lögstrup, D. Mayer & Salovey, Gardner, Vygotskij, Antonovsky, Steinberg and Dewey.The research is based on six qualitative interviews. The interviews has been done with two pedagogues on each infant school, at two infant schools, and one pedagogue at a third infant school. An interview was also made with Eva Mathiasson Thorbert, the author of the book - Hjärtestunder - livskunskap i förskolan (2006).We have concretisiced and reviewed the conception of lifeknowledge, with a starting point from pedagogues understandings about lifeknowledge in infant school and the method book Hjärtestunder.The summary of what has been obvious from the interviews and the literature is that the conception of lifeknowledge is not easy to define. Definitions of the concept are done in different ways depending on which person who makes the interpretation and are related to personal experiences. Pedagogues works diffrent depending on their childrens conditions and needs.

Lack of genuine concern for solid waste management practices and inefficiency of sol-id waste management system is one of the greatest environmental issues in Addis Ab-aba, Ethiopia. The Current Municipal Solid Waste Management System is extremely inefficient and ineffective. An illegal waste dumping, inefficient waste collection, and informal recycling are some of the issues that need to be immediately rectified. There-fore, this study was conducted in order to get a knowledge transfer from a developed country, Sweden, Östersund Municipality. The practical waste management and recy-cling activities undertaking in the city of Östersund have been assessed, evaluated and discussed in the study. Physical site visits, surveys, informal interviews, and group dis-cussions have also been conducted to be able to draw an immensely useful and tangi-ble recommendation for the improvement of Solid Waste Management and Recycling Scheme in Addis Ababa. Based on the experience acquired from Östersund the entire Solid Waste Management system in Addis Ababa has been evaluated and useful dis-cussions, recommendations, and conclusions have been drawn. Besides as recycling is one of the most significant waste management hierarchy components, it should have been given top priority in reducing the amount of waste generation in developing countries like Ethiopia. However, the recycling activities taking place in the country are highly limited and informal. Moreover, evaluation of the potential of recyclable wastes in Addis Ababa, discussion on how and why recycling needs to be given prece-dence and later comparison is made with Östersund Municipality in order to be able to gain knowledge from the Swedish experience. Besides, discussions were made in order to address decisive measures that need to be taken to implement the Swedish experience in the Solid Waste Management and Recycling sector in Addis Ababa Ethiopia in an environmentally friendly and economical way.

「知識」是21世紀的競爭武器，也是決定組織能否永續發展之根本。透過「知識管理」機制能將基層員警之經驗與知識傳承，增進基層員警的核心能力與警政組織之競爭優勢，藉以提升警政工作績效。警政競爭力之關鍵是在於警察機關的核心能力，而警察機關的核心能力又仰賴基層員警核心能力之整合。「警察」是一個富有挑戰性的職業，隨著人民需求與全球化發展，警察工作內容與範圍變得廣泛而多元，所需具備之知識與能力相對增加，因此，警察要隨時空因素之轉變而調整本身核心能力與應用分享知識，以符合社會與民眾之需求。 / 本研究以知識管理途徑來探討基層警察人員為應警察勤業務需要應具備那些核心能力，始能成為警政組織之知識工作者，並能順利完成警察任務，藉以達成卓越績效。因此，為深入分析基層警察人員知識管理與核心能力相關問題，本研究首採文獻分析，參酌國內外有關知識管理與核心能力論著，獲得理論上之知識，並配合臺北市政府警察局現況，應用現有文獻及相關計畫方案，進行多元而廣泛的資料蒐集，再佐以研究者之觀察與深入訪談實證研究分析，作實務與理論之探索，以提出基層警察人員須具備及應積極強化培訓之核心能力，並探討基層警察人員為因應未來環境變化應具備之核心能力，藉以作為警察機關常年訓練發展參考。 / 本研究經由相關理論文獻探討及實證分析，綜合發現臺北市政府警察局基層警察人員目前與未來應具備之核心能力，就其重要性依序為「法律專業知能」、「優質服務態度」、「溝通表達能力」、「問題解決能力」、「危機應變能力」與「警技執勤能力」等六項。其中最具 優勢之核心能力為「問題解決能力」。最缺乏之核心能力依次為「溝通表達能力」、「法律專業知能」、「優質服務態度」。另提出以下建議：一、運用知識管理與默會知識培養核心能力；二、定期工作分析並適時修正核心能力項目；三、適度增加分局內勤員額，並專責辦理所有警察業務；四、重視優勢核心能力之維繫；五、訓練強化基層警察人員核心能力不足之項目；六、建立以核心能力為基礎之訓練發展。 / Knowledge is the key to remaining competitive in the 21st century and is essential to the continual development of any organization. Knowledge management facilitates the transfer of knowledge from current police constables to new recruits, increases the capabilities of the constables themselves, and enhances the efficiency of the police administration – all of which make the administration more competitive. This high degree of competence is built on the foundation of police constable core capability. Law enforcement is a challenging field, with the needs of today’s citizens evolving and with the content and scope of the law becoming variable and multifunctional as a result. Improved knowledge management has become increasingly important, and the police administration must make adaptive adjustments to meet the progressing expectations of the people they serve. / The purpose of the study was to explore the core capabilities, in terms of knowledge management, required for police constables to perform efficiently in routine police work. To analyze the relationship between knowledge management and the police force’s core capability, the research referenced both domestic and foreign articles regarding these subjects. I worked with the Taipei City Police Department to evaluate their currently situation by broadly utilizing their internal research along with my own observations and interviews. This information was implemented as a practical and theoretical basis in my research. The study also explored the requirement of core capability required for police constables to react to current societal changes, and research resulting from it can be used as a reference for the police administration’s annual training. / The study analyzes the current and future core capability required for police constables of the Taipei City Police Department. In order of importance are: “Interpretation of the Law”; “Quality Service”; “Communication”; “Problem Solving”; “Crisis Management”; and “Police Skill Set”. Problem solving is the strength of the department, with communication, interpretation of the law, and quality service being weaknesses. Proposals to improve these areas are as follows: 1. Apply knowledge management to enhance core capability; 2. Routinely evaluate and adjust the items defining core capability; 3. Adequately increase the desk staffing; 4. Emphasize the necessity of core capability; 5. Enhance the core capability of underperforming police constables; and 6. Build a training plan based on core capabilities.

In this scenario, it comes the Borderline patient, bringing up challenges and opportunities in psychoanalysis that are gaining more relevance in the clinical and scientific discussions of the country, requiring analysts dedication to reflect on how to handle this sort of patiens within the clinical practice. Given this reality and in search for a more clinically effective approach, the objective of this survey was to deepen the current insights on the Borderline Personality disorder, with the intention of undertanding specific aspects of transference and countertransference demand that are experienced in the psychoanalysis process. This work was accomplished through a qualitative approach based on the clinical method of psychoanalysis, following the theoretical framework of Donald Winnicott. Having reflected on how to manage a borderline case, this survey outlines specific issues concerning transference and countertransference. It was observed that the problem lies at the confluence of the existential suffering of the patient and the countertransferencial suffering of the analyst, that requires professional sensitivity so as to ensure an appropriate approach aligned with the patient needs, indeed considering its own limits. In sum, the analysis process should be oriented to provide the patient a more integrated self / Na pós-modernidade, a clínica psicanalítica vem se deparando com o desafio de lidar com mudanças na subjetividade e novas formações psicopatológicas. Neste cenário, está o paciente borderline, cujos desafios e possibilidades no atendimento vêm ganhando cada vez mais espaço nos meios clínicos e científicos do país e exigindo dos analistas tempo para refletir sobre como manejá-los clinicamente. Diante desta realidade e em busca de uma clínica mais efetiva, o objetivo deste trabalho foi aprofundar o estudo acerca do Transtorno de Personalidade Borderline, para compreender aspectos específicos da demanda transferencial e da contratransferência experimentados nesse atendimento. Tratou-se de um trabalho de abordagem qualitativa, baseado no método clínico da psicanálise, seguindo o referencial teórico winnicottiano. Ao refletir sobre o manejo do borderline, foram sublinhadas demandas específicas assentadas nas questões da transferência e da contratransferência. Observou-se que a problemática reside na confluência do sofrimento existencial deste paciente com o sofrimento contratransferencial do analista, exigindo do profissional sensibilidade para a realização de um manejo ajustado às necessidades de cada paciente, considerando também seus próprios limites. Desta forma, a análise funcionaria como um caminho para a construção de um self mais integrado

A pesquisa sobre bactérias diazotróficas associadas à cultura do trigo tem demonstrado a necessidade de associar bactérias eficientes a genótipos responsivos ao nitrogênio, os quais mais se beneficiariam dessa associação. Em um experimento com parcelas subdivididas instalado em condições de campo, em Mococa (SP), empregando os tratamentos: 3 doses de N (0, 60 e 120 kg ha -1 ) x 3 genótipos de trigo (IAC-24, ITD-19 e IAC-355), foi avaliada a ocorrência de microrganismos diazotróficos endofíticos em raízes desinfestadas superficialmente, utilizando-se 3 meios de cultivo distintos, NFb, semi-específico para Azospirillum spp, JNFb, semi-específico para Herbaspirillum spp., e LGI-P, semi-específico Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus. O genótipo IAC-355 apresentou a menor quantidade de bactérias diazotróficas endofíticas. Além disso, para este genótipo, houve um ajuste linear ascendente da quantidade de bactérias diazotróficas com o aumento na quantidade de N adicionada, o que comprova a influência do genótipo da planta na associação com essas bactérias. Nenhuma bactéria pertencente aos gêneros Azospirillum ou Herbaspirillum foi isolada do genótipo IAC-355. Nas condições estudadas, não foi identificado nenhum isolado de Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus nas raízes do trigo. Foram obtidos 8 isolados do gênero Azospirillum e 12 do gênero Herbaspirillum. Esses isolados foram testados "in vitro", no genótipo do qual foram originalmente isolados. Todos os isolados testados no genótipo ITD-19 causaram maior crescimento radicular que a testemunha e apenas 1 isolado de Herbaspirillum sp. propiciou aumento significativo do teor de N na parte aérea. A colonização micorrízica no genótipo IAC-355 foi maior que nos demais genótipos independente da dose de N, comprovando a influência do genótipo na colonização. A colonização micorrízica se correlacionou com a massa da matéria seca, e com o teor e a quantidade acumulada de P e N na parte aérea, assim como com a produtividade. A atividade da biomassa microbiana foi alterada na ausência de N, obtendo-se correlação entre o qCO2 e a relação Cmic:Corg, indicando que na ausência de N, houve perdas de C no solo cultivado com o genótipo IAC-24, enquanto que na presença do IAC-355, houve maior eficiência na utilização do C do solo pelos microrganismos. Na contagem de bactérias nitrificadoras obteve-se um ajuste linear ascendente em relação à quantidade de N adicionada, provavelmente devido à maior disponibilidade de substrato. A quantidade de microrganismos nitrificadores se correlacionou com a massa da matéria seca, e com o teor e a quantidade acumulada de N na parte aérea, assim como com a produtividade. A interação FMA-bactéria diazotrófica não propiciou benefícios para cultura do trigo. A interação FMA-bactéria diazotrófica demonstrou ser bastante especifica. As plantas associadas a Glomus, quando em presença dos isolados bacterianos apresentaram maior crescimento, acúmulo e aproveitamento dos nutrientes. Confirmou-se que o fungo micorrízico realmente é um agente transmissor de bactérias diazotróficas endofíticas, sendo que Acaullospora causou maior colonização radicular. As plantas dos tratamentos em que somente a bactéria foi inoculada apresentaram o dobro da produção de matéria seca, da quantidade acumulada e do índice de eficiência de utilização de N e P na parte aérea em relação à testemunha. A especificidade da interação planta-bactéria diazotrófica associativa indica que é possível obter benefícios desta associação, explorando bactérias e cultivares locais. / The research on diazotrophic bacteria associated to wheat has demonstrated the need to associate efficient bacteria to N-responsive genotypes, which would be more benefited from this association. A field experiment was carried out in Mococa, state of São Paulo-Brazil, with 3 genotypes of wheat (IAC-24, ITD-19 and IAC-355) under 3 nitrogen doses (0, 60 e 120 kg ha -1 ). The occurrence of diazotrophic bacteria was evaluated in three media, namely, NFb semi-specific for Azospirillum spp., JNFb semi-specific for Herbaspirillum spp., and LGI-P semi-specific for Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus, using surface-sterilized roots. Regardless the nitrogen dose, the population of diazotrophic bacteria established poorly in the genotype IAC-355, but the infection increased with the addition of nitrogen for the same genotype, proving the influence of the host genotype for its association with these bacteria. Azospirillum spp. or Herbaspirillum spp. could not be isolated from the surface-sterilized roots of IAC-355. In the field experiment G. diazotrophicus was not found in any of the wheat-genotype roots. It was obtained 12 Herbaspirillum spp. isolates and 8 Azospirillum spp isolates. These strains were tested under gnotobiotic conditions, using the genotype from which they had been originally isolated. Inoculated ITD-19 plants showed an increase in root length, even though, only one strain showed a significant increase on shoot N accumulation. In the genotype IAC-355 mycorrhizal colonization was higher, proving the influence of the plant genotype. Mycorrhizal colonization showed significant correlation to shoot dry matter, shoot N and shoot P concentration and accumulation, as well as to the grain yield. In the absence of added N, the activity of microbial biomass was affected. The correlation between the qCO2 and biomass C-to-N ratio, showed that in absence of N, soil-C loss under IAC-24 cultivation, but a greater efficiency in the use of the soil-C by the microorganisms under IAC-355 cultivation. The populations of nitrifying bacteria increased with N addition, probably due to the N-rich substrate availability. The nitrifying bacteria showed significant correlation to shoot dry matter, shoot N concentration and accumulation, as well as to grain yield. There was no benefit from the AMF-diazotrophic bacteria co-inoculation on wheat plants. The specificity of AMF-diazotrophic bacteria interaction was demonstrated, it was confirmed that AMF indeed is a transmitting agent of endophytic diazotrophic bacteria, Acaullospora caused higher endophytic-bacteria root colonization. Plants inoculated with single strain doubled shoot dry matter, shoot N and P concentration and accumulation as compared to the control. Plant-bacteria interaction specificity demonstrates the possibility of getting benefits from this association by exploring both bacterial strains and plant genotypes from the same location.

Det råder stora ojämlikheter mellan Sveriges kommuner. Dessa ojämlikheter mynnar ut i tvåtrender som råder i många mindre kommuner: befolkningen åldras och urbaniseringsgradenökar. Urbaniseringsgraden har gjort att mindre kommuner har ett försämrat ekonomiskt lägreoch många kommuner står inför valet att antingen höja skatten eller reducera den kommunalaservicen. I denna uppsats kartlägger vi genom ekonomiska begrepp hur två medelstorakommuner har hanterat den demografiska utvecklingen samt vad kommunerna bör fokuserapå för att öka sin attraktivitet.Utifrån de demografiska nyckeltal som studerats kommer vi fram till att mycket av deekonomiska svårigheter som uppkom på 1970-talet lever kvar än idag hos många kommuner.De har hamnat i en negativ spiral som är svår att ta sig ur. Kommuner som å andra sidanklarat sig bättre ur krisen har haft ett bättre ekonomiskt utgångsläge. Det finns även ett tydligtsamband mellan en bra integration av så kallade outsiders och de kommunala finanserna.Uppsatsen tydliggör att en god arbetsmarknad, attraktiva bostäder och bra kommersiellt utbudär avgörande för en kommuns attraktivitet. / Currently there are big differences between municipalities in Sweden. These differences leadto two dissimilar tendencies: the population is aging and the degree of urbanisation increases.The urbanisation has set several smaller municipalities in a severe economic situation and alot of municipalities are facing to either raise the local tax or reduce the public service. In thispaper the authors’ research through economic concepts how two medium sized municipalitieshave handled the demographic changes and what the municipalities should do in order toincrease their attractiveness.The findings of this study indicate that the demographic changes, to a large extent, dependson previous recessions in the municipalities which still is causing an unbalanced economy.The municipalities are facing a downward spiral that is hard to emerge from. On the otherhand some municipalities managed the recessions in a more successful way and are nowfacing a more positive economic position. Further, there is a clear correlation between a wellfunctioningintegration on the labour market and public finances. The result of the paper alsoshows that a well-functioning labour market, housing market and commercial supplydetermines municipalities’ attractiveness.

The dissertation deals with mental condition of teachers. Theoretical part of the dissertation aims to define basic terms related to the main topic, delimit terms to mental condition of the teachers and to its revitalization. Special attention is dedicated to burnout syndrome, because teachers are considerably threatened group. Practical part is made by qualitative research. Via semi-structured interviews are investigated causes of teachers´s stress and strategies, which are used to maintaining mental and professional condition.
