The dialogical relationship between adolescents and parents : prevention of risk behaviour / Bailey E.Bailey, Estelle January 2011 (has links)
Risk behaviour amongst adolescents represents a major public health challenge in South Africa
particularly when considering the statistics on sexually active youth, adolescent pregnancies,
smoking, drinking and drug abuse amongst the youth. Although various reasons can be given to
explain this phenomenon, the parent–adolescent relationship has proven to be a huge factor in the
prevention of risk behaviour. However, even though the importance of such a relationship has
been proven, risk behaviour amongst adolescents still persists. This study specifically looks at the
dialogical parent–adolescent relationship and how adolescents who engage in risk behaviour are
affected by the relationship and how it can prevent risk behaviour. The content of section A
explains the orientation towards the research, the problem rationale and the goals and objectives
of the study. The researcher followed a qualitative approach as she tried to obtain an
understanding of adolescent risk behaviour and how the nature of the dialogical parent–adolescent
relationship could prevent such risk behaviour. Semi–structured interviews were conducted with
five girls and three boys who lived in Pretoria, as well as with their parents. The adolescents were
between the ages of 14 and 17 and all engaged in risk behaviour. In section B a literature study is
given with a brief outline of the methodology that was used. Specific focus falls on the findings of
the study. Section C contains the summary, evaluation and conclusions of the overall study. This
research was done in order to make recommendations to parents of adolescents who engage in
risk behaviour as a possible way to prevent it. This study highlighted how unprepared and
uninformed parents were in terms of their parental skills and the needs of their adolescent children.
The study also highlighted the need of the adolescents to be validated, and the lack of
understanding and warmth in the manner that their parents relate to them. Adolescents still need
parental guidance and a sense of belonging. The very poor relationships that exist between
parents and adolescents strengthened the researcher’s hypothesis that the adolescents get
involved in a range of dubious activities and their parents’ ineffectiveness to intervene and assist
their adolescents through these challenging times, may lead to risk behaviour. / Thesis (M.A. (Psychology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Asset pricing under distinctive fiscal considerationsFischer, Max 14 June 2023 (has links)
This cumulative dissertation extends the literature strand on firm valuation and capital structure under distinctive fiscal considerations by elaborating on corporate finance issues that have not been resolved or not explained in their full magnitude. Essay one reassesses the appropriate valuation of a firm using the APV equation and more appropriately specifying one of its components, the value of tax savings. The second essay thematically follows essay one by utilizing the WACC approach in a multi-state setting under active debt policy. The third and final essay reconsiders capital structure under the artificial restriction of interest deductibility and its resulting influence on the value of potential tax savings. All essays incorporate loss distribution in default for either a partial or a complete loss scenario, thus providing additional insides on this crucial assumption in firm valuation under risky debt.

An assessment tool for social workers to identify risk behaviour in foster children / Narina BesterBester, Narina January 2014 (has links)
Problem statement
Due to HIV and AIDS impacting on communities, devastating consequences have been predicted. The number of orphans and vulnerable children (OVC) in need of care is escalating, causing social workers’ caseloads to become unmanageable. These OVC who lost their parents through death are suffering multiple losses due to being orphaned. The material, protection and affection needs have to be addressed in a holistic, eco-systematic, multidisciplinary team approach. In practice social workers tend to focus mainly on the material and protection needs of OVC due to high caseloads and staff turnover, neglecting their affection needs. Social workers need to work with foster parents and children in identifying potential risk factors that could lead to risk behaviour in foster children who have lost their parents through death. The researcher designed an assessment tool that could enable social workers in practice to do an effective risk assessment of OVC in foster care. Intervention could be planned accordingly by setting goals to address risk factors timeously in an attempt to prevent future problem behaviour in OVC placed in foster care. Aim
To develop an assessment tool for social workers to identify risk behaviour in foster children who have experienced multiple losses such as the loss of one or both parents.
Method
A mixed methods design was used, specifically the sequential and explanatory design which involved collecting and analysing both qualitative and quantitative data. These obtained data were then connected and integrated.
Results
It was proved that a Risk assessment tool helped social workers to identify risk factors in a team effort between social workers, foster parents and children. Meeting the psychosocial needs of OVC placed in foster care more effectively is important in order to prevent the development of negative behaviour. / PhD (Social Work), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015
