Abstract:
The integration of Information and Communication Technology (ICT) into the curriculum has become the major issue worldwide. The education system does not only pursue the integration of ICT into the curriculum because of its popularity in the market system, but because of the role it is perceived to play in the changing curriculum (encourages active construction of knowledge). According to White Paper 7 e-Education policy (2004:17) every South African learner should be able to use ICTs confidently and creatively to develop the skills and knowledge they need to achieve personal goals and to be f

This thesis explores the challenges and potential of technology integration in current ship management practices. While technology advancements were designed to be contributing to minimising task complexity, issues such as fatigue, increased administrative burden and technology assisted accidents still plague the industry. In spite of the clearly recognisable benefits of using modern technology in the management of ships, in practice its application appears lacking by a considerable margin. The main driver of the study was to appreciate the cause of this disparity. The study first reviewed a w

Abstract:
With the continued progression of Moore’s law into the sub-14nm technology nodes, interconnect RC and power dissipation scaling play an increasingly important role in overall product performance. As critical dimensions in the mainstream Cu/ULK interconnect system shrink below 30nm, corresponding increases in relative process variation and decreases in overall process window mandate increasingly complex integrated solutions. Traditional metallization processes, e.g. PVD barrier and seed layers, no longer scale for all layout configurations as they reach physical and geometric limitations. Inter

Abstract:
The focus of this case lies in the post-merger integration issues that Lenovo had to master in order to extract full value as well as synergies from its acquisition. The time span analyzed is from the merger until approximately one year after. The case describes the "Best of Both Worlds" integration approach adopted by Lenovo and the top management team's attempts to set aside egos and learn from each other, as well as to make decisions that are in the best interest of the new company, e.g., the decision to move the corporate headquarters to the US and to use English as the working language.

Abstract:
Doctor Legum - LLD<br>The need to harmonise laws in Africa has grown in importance in view of the envisaged African common market. Economic integration cannot flourish without an effective regional legal framework. There is fragmentation in trade mark protection in Africa as evidenced by the existing two sub-regional organisations namely, the African Regional Intellectual Property Organisation (ARIPO) and the Organisation Africaine de la Propriété Intellectuelle (OAPI). The absence of a single regional legal framework has resulted in African countries not having a coherent strategy for a
