Abstract:
The school is a societal relationship which reveals characteristics of an organization. The nature and essence of the school can be determined through the making of a structural analysis of the school in terms of the fundamental traits of reality. The school is a creational given, which has a particular structure of authority. On the basis of the foregoing it becomes clear that the societal/relational life in the school is ordered according to its own nature. When the school is studied as an organization, it strikes one that there are divergent views with regard to the school as organization.

Abstract:
The theological implications of the use of דזח in the Old Testament are indicated in this doctoral thesis. The Lord revealed Himself in the course of history. For this reason, the revelational-history approach is used in this thesis. In the Old Testament, the Hebrew noun דזח occurs three hundred and eighty-seven times.. The most basic meaning of דזח is variously defined as "blowing", "air in motion", and "wind". Thus, דזח is a term representing something unseen in order that the visible effect of this invisible force might be adequately apprehended. In approximately one hundred and seven place

Abstract:
There are various factors that accounting educators should consider when involved in accounting education. These include: A continuous changing business environment; A new generation of learners studying at universities; A lack of skills among learners; Accounting educators resisting changes in accounting education; and The requirements for continuing professional education. From the literature it seems that much research has been done in the field of accounting education, but that it did not find practical application in the classroom. It is therefore necessary to think creatively in order to

Abstract:
Zirconium metal (Zr) is highly desirable as a cladding material for nuclear fuel rods in nuclear power plants, because of its very low nuclear absorption cross-section for thermal neutrons, however to use this Zr metal it has to be purified (<100 ppm) from the contained (1 – 3% wt) hafnium metal (Hf), occurs in zircon ore (ZrSiO4) in nature. Because of the extensive beach deposits, rich in zircon minerals, located along the South African coasts, there is a great opportunity for zircon beneficiation in South Africa to convert the country's mineral output into high added value products rather th

Unfair labour practice formed part of South Africa's history throughout the years. There was not enough legislation to protect all races against unfair labour practice. The dramatic political, governmental and social changes over the last decade ensured that South Africa put new legislation in place to ensure fair labour practice for all races in South Africa. This legislation is also implemented in the South Africa education system to ensure fairness. The Employment of Educators Act and the South African Schools Act devised legislation to protects the rights of both the learner and the educat
