It explores the preparation of tutors to teach about HIV and AIDS to pre-service teacher trainees at a primary teacher training college in Kenya. It attempts to answer two main questions. How are teacher trainers prepared to teach about emerging issues, such as HIV and AIDS Are the teacher trainees adequately prepared to teach about emerging issues, such as the sensitive issues that shroud HIV and AIDS The question of adequate preparation is of wide and enduring concern, whatever the subject priorities of professional development programme. Although the book refers particularly to the preparation of educators to teach about HIV and AIDS, it has a much wider relevance and will be of interest to facilitators of in-service programmes and policy makers. The book is written for educators, but social science researchers will find the methodology chapter relevant for designing qualitative studies. 92 pp. Englisch.

In this work a mathematical model of a laboratory maglev system was derived using Lagrangian approach. Three controllers were designed for the maglev system and their performances were investigated via simulation using Simulink. Firstly, a pole-placement controller was designed on the basis of specifications on peak overshoot and settling time. Secondly, a nonlinear state feedback linearization control scheme was designed. Finally a 3-layer feed-forward artificial neural network (ANN) controller comprising 3-input nodes, a 5-neuron hidden layer and 1-neuron output layer was trained using the linear state feedback controller with a random reference signal. The robustness of the three control schemes was investigated with respect to parameter variations and reference step input magnitude variations. Presented Simulink simulation results show that the feedback linearization control scheme performed best followed by linear state feedback pole-assignment control. 112 pp. Englisch.

This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -South Africa s transition to democracy was followed by an extensive programme of land reform whose major objectives were, inter alia, to promote a more equitable distribution of land ownership; to reduce poverty and to promote economic growth through land reform; to provide security of tenure for all and to establish a system of land management that will support sustainable land-use patterns. While all of these goals are important, one of the purposes of my thesis is to suggest that an effective programme of land reform, in general, and an effective programme of land redistribution, in particular, could also go a long way towards achieving another equally important goal, namely environmental justice. The achievement of this goal, it will be argued, is critical in light of a history of massive land dispossession during the colonial and apartheid eras. Such policies against black South Africans compelled them to bear a disproportionate share of the environmental hazards caused by undesirable land uses on account of their race, whilst simultaneously denying them equal access to natural resources, in general, and to land, in particular, for the same reasons. 92 pp. Englisch.

The setting-up of Muslim Fund in 1961 was initiated by selfless motivated visionaries, first in North India, Najibabad and Deoband to provide financial help to the deprived and exploited people. Subsequently the format was adapted in other parts of India. There are approximately 250 Muslim Funds operating in India. Muslims Funds levy service charges on loans, which are the income for the fund. They have become substitutes to bank and money lenders loans. Muslim Funds cater to all people irrespective of religion. Around 20 percent beneficiaries are non-Muslims. Muslim Fund, Malegaon operates on the same principles as other Muslim Funds operate. Our findings show similar results with localized variation to adapt to the specific need of the region. Such non-interest instruments can help financial inclusion of the economically deprived of the society. The government has to address this issue sooner or later. Muslim Funds have shown the way. They can be taken as example to further develop the models and instruments that banks can operate in India. 112 pp. Englisch.

We have investigated underwritten rights issues in the Scandinavian countries for the period 2002-2010. Our full sample consists of 101 rights issues. The focus of this study is to examine the relationship between risk and reward relating to underwriting services and possible differences within Scandinavia. Based on the suggestion of Galai and Schneller (1978) we have assessed the value of the underwriting fee using option pricing framework. Our analyses shows that the underwriting fee charged in the Scandinavian market produces excess returns to the underwriters. The mean underwriting fee charged is found to be 3.58 %. The underwriters earned an average excess return of 2.72 %, or 76 %of the underwriting fee. The highest degree of mispricing we observed in the Swedish market, where excess returns to the underwriter average 3.63 %. Norway seems to have the most efficiently priced underwriting market. We also had a qualitative approximation to our problem where we interview three investors and three banks. 128 pp. Englisch.

The book describes the various methods of tax evasion employed by Zimbabwean taxpayers.

Although this study was conducted in Chongwe District, the findings are applicable to other rural communities in the country. There is no doubt that adult education is about human resource development which ultimately translate into national development.It is a truism that national development cannot be attained with an illiterate population. Therefore, education being a human right must be provided to the masses for the purpose of attaining national development. Apparently in Zambia these masses are concentrated in rural areas and are often times denied access to social services such as education. Poverty and illiteracy are a common phenomenon among them. The ability to graduate from this quagmire of poverty, illiteracy and underdevelopment depends on the application of the most effective and appropriate educational tool, which community adult education is. This book exposes you to the forms of community adult education practices and effective ways of implementing them in rural areas in order to attain sustainable rural development. 96 pp. Englisch.
