Isaacs, Fadly. "Spatial Transitions: Cape Town Case Study." Doctoral thesis, University of Cape Town, 2013. http://hdl.handle.net/11427/21224.

Abstract:

The research is guided by the following question: What are the spatial dimensions of social justice when thinking about Cape Town as a post-apartheid city? In principle the research intends, by advancing a diachronic approach to the examination of spatial form, to critically analyse the spatial (physical) structure of the city at a range of scales and relate these to both the higher level normative /cultural imperatives as well as the associated functional organisational aspects that have been institutionalised at different moments in the history of Cape Town.

Abstract:

Case-control studies are the traditional ways in which foodborne enteric diseases are studied and outbreaks are investigated. This method has some significant limitations and biases for diseases with low efficiency reporting rates, such as Campylobacter, a common foodborne disease. Case-case methodologies have been explored for these studies but have been implemented without any clear strategy. This dissertation aims to first, determine the common risk factors for Campylobacter in Arizona using the traditional case-control study design, second, to systematically compare case-case studies to th

Abstract:

There has been a rekindling of interest in primary dental care research. However, there has been little investigation of the factors affecting these studies. This thesis examines primary dental care research pragmatically and from the dentists perspective. The Pulpotomy Study was undertaken In the northwest of England as a preliminary, prospective, pragmatic, longitudinal, multi-centred, cohort study in primary dental care. Forty primary care dentists undertook 334 pulpotomies In 316 participants on symptomatic primary molar teeth using Caustinerf Deciduous and/or Creosote BP. Pulpotomies were

Abstract:

There is evidence to suggest that the role of the allied health professional continues to evolve in the delivery of palliative cancer care services. Whilst it appears that there is an increasing need for physiotherapists, there is a lack of understanding about the nature of their role, their educational needs and their place within the rehabilitation team. The aim of my work was to explore a local palliative cancer care physiotherapy service provision in the light of best practice recommendations, using both my own practice development and a research study.

Abstract:

A case study is often criticised for the risk that a researcher have a subjective interpretation of the data. This paper has the ambition to analyse how to choose the right angles in case studies to prove that you made a reliable case study. The most highlighted in this case study will be case study methodology. It will also be about what you should think about as a researcher in order to stay as objective as possible. By analysing and comparing the interpretations of different sources, the answer was that there are many things to consider as a researcher to understand how to choose the right

Case studies are widely used across a lot of different subject areas, however there are a lot of questions about the use of it because of the doubt in its’ contribution to science and the quality of it.

Abstract:

The generalisability of case study findings is heavily criticised in the scientific community. This study attempts to answer to what extent generalisation is possible, through a literature review. Resources were collected by searching in databases and in reference lists. A presentation of arguments from both sides will follow, finding that generalisation is possible to almost the same extent as quantitative research, if done correctly and carefully, with great concern and accuracy.

Abstract:

The world of literacy has expanded alongside technology, and new literacies are being used as an alternative or an addition to traditional text. By including video gaming as literacy, the connection can be made between students' multimodal world outside of school with the world of literacy they encounter in school. This study took two approaches of a content study and a case study. A collective case study was used to examine the gaming experience of participants with three commercial video games falling into three separate genres: Sims FreePlay (simulation); Halo 1 (first person shooter); an

The majority of parents had child care related absences and work in

Abstract:

Participating in organized sports activities can result in developmental benefits to the adolescent.

Participation can also provide opportunities for developmental liabilities to occur. Researchers have cited liabilities such as stress, anxiety and physiological injury. Developmental benefits and liabilities have been the foci of the controversy that has existed over adolescents participating in interscholastic sports programs in the middle and junior hi
