- Description: Abstract: The nature and extent of perinatal health care services to mother and child in the total South African population are determined by various factors. The quality of the perinatal care that the midwife provides is influenced by the following factors: geographical variatjons in matema1 and child deaths, the existing fragmented regime of health care provision. the shortage and maldistribution of health workers. the composition of the population and various demographic factors. Another factor is the objective that primary health care should be available to the total population in South Africa. fn this regard the midwife is seen as the key figure providing this extensive obstetrical health care. Various organizations and people involved in perinatal practices expressed their concern about the midwife's apparent inability to operate professionally. They also questioned the standard of educational programmes. Several nursing researchers recommend continuing professional education to improve the training and practices of mjdwives. The importance of continuing professional education in keeping the midwife mentally alert and well informed on technical developments is repeatedly emphasized in literature. The South African Council for Nursing accepts the principle of compulsory continuing professional education for midwives - this also served as motivation for this study. Due to high costs and the administrative extent of a system of compulsory continuing professional education for all practising rrudwives in South Africa the researcher conducted the research in an exploratory, descriptive and interpretable way by using literature analyses as a refining technique... , D.Cur.

- Description: The root metaphor of this dissertation is that items of knowledge are as foci against a background:, a situation which it calls a contextual relation. Truth, meaning and justification are impossible outside a context. In terms of this epistemology, the view is defended that Philosophy is intrinsically concerned with the f amily of skills which we use in treating knowledge contexts. The treatment of contexts is a polymorphous practice and includes describing, creating, analyzing and ordering contexts. reforming, In Part One, the above view is introduced and the epistemological angle for treating the nature of Philosophy is defended. The origin of the leading theory of knowledge of this dissertation, namely contextualism, is expounded and in the process arguments against rival epistemological. paradigms are brought to the fore. At the same time, it is argued that holisrn is not compatible with the true aim s of contextualism. In Part Two, the concept context is analized. The ways in which truth, meaning and reality are related to contexts are discussed. It is found that context should not be regarded in substantialist terms and that an attempt at a linear ordering of all contexts is a highly unpromising endeavour. In Part Three the meaning o f "the treatment of contexts" is illustrated by taking Plato's Theory of Forms and Quine's attack on the two dogmas of empiricism as particular examples. In Part Four, the model put forward in the dissertation is applied in a discussion of the nature of Philosophy and the teaching thereof, as well as the the question of the possibility of a final context. , D.

- Description: Abstract: The theoretical model of this study is based on the hypothesis that three sets of variables affect the task performance of scientists, and resulting from that, their information needs. These variables are: (a) the purpose, problem area, and methods of the particular scientific discipline being practised; (b) environmental factors, especially those concerning the employing organization; and (c) the personal attributes of the scientist. In the development of this model a different approach has been taken from previous information user studies. Those s tudies were based on the asslllllption that the pr imary aim o f an information service was to satisfy the information requests of its potential users. The empirical investigations that had been carr ied out were aimed at collecting data on the information gathering behaviour of users, their preferences, and the flow of information, with the object of ascertaining whether the needs of users concerning information sources and services had been met. According to that approach, user satisfaction was the criterion by which the success of an infonnation service had been measured. Instead of the previous emphasis on the user, the task that has to be performed, i.e. the solving of problems, planning, decisionrnaking, etc., is put forward as the alternative focus of attention. This approach is based on the hypothesis that the primary aim of an information service is to contribute to the task performance of its potential users; hence the theoretical model is also called "the task perfonnance model". The success of an information service is now measured in terms of its contribution to task performance; in the pl ace of user satisfaction, the criterion now is user success... , D.Litt.et Phil.

- Description: Abstract: The aim of this study was the stereospecific total synthesis of 11-oxa-, 10,11-dioxa- and 7,10,11-trioxaprostaglandin derivatives. Using the known chirality of Q-Q-glucose the above-mentioned heteroprostaglandins were synthesized by a series of stereospecific chemical transformations. An attempt to synthesize a 7,11-dioxaprostaglandin derivative was unsuccessful. Prostaglandins as physiologically active natural products have a great potential as medicinals in phaacology and the series of heteroprostaglandins synthesized may have a specific mode of action, especially where the suppresion of gastric acid secretion is concerned. , D.Sc.
