Abstract:
Thesis (MDF)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.
Rural development in most of the developing countries, Namibia included, entails making sure that every area is accessible in terms of road networks and telecommunications. Such infrastructure avoids the alienation of some areas or segregation and marginalisation of these same areas. Just as in many other African countries, a large portion of the Namibian population is located in the rural areas, yet development has not as of yet cascaded downstream to reach them. This research explores how rural road infrastructure development and facelift can transform the economic development of the rural folk. Most entrepreneurs in rural areas struggle to grow as they have challenges connecting to the markets, due to poor road infrastructure. The rural people in Tsandi and Opuwo constituencies in north-western Namibia desire to be easily connected to activity centres like schools, hospitals, etc. However, accessibility, especially during the rainy season, is a problem. The researcher used a quantitative data analysis method on data collected from rural residents and rural entrepreneurs via questionnaires, interviews and observation methods. These methods were combined in order to come up with a more reliable conclusion from the randomly selected sample, representing the population of the two constituencies in the north-western Namibia. Rural communities are prevented from accessing a number of resources because of poor road networks. For example, it is common that the rural residents get stale news with expiration dates ranging from one month up until three to four months. This report shall propagate various ways that can be employed to improve road infrastructure in the rural areas as well as unveil the benefits of such development to overall rural economic challenges. A large amount of literature was considered for review on this topic as well as field research in order to understand the findings on the topic and to come up with a sound conclusion containing worthwhile recommendations. It was observed that rural road infrastructure development plays a pivotal role in rural socio-economic development, which is usually measured by the Rural Access Index (RAI). As the road infrastructure improves, so too will the standard of living for rural people because they will have the convenience and ease of road travel to be able to access to hospitals, schools and other activity centres. In order to effectively unlock the full potential of rural road infrastructure and transport corridors, a new perspective for road infrastructure is required that takes into account lessons learnt and changes to the external environment.

Abstract:
The main aim of the study is to determine the views of teachers in the East London district on the influence of quintile-based school categorization on the culture of teaching and learning in No Fee Schools (NFS). The study is motivated by the high rate of underperformance registered by the NFS despite the huge amount of support and intervention directed to them. The study is located in the interpretive paradigm and hence used, was a qualitative approach and case study design. Purposive sampling technique was followed to identify participants. Twelve (12) teachers from three research sites, which are NFS, participated in the study. Data was gathered through observations, document analysis and one-on-one semi-structured interviews, respectively. In each school, a principal, a School Management Team (SMT) member and two Grade 12 teachers were interviewed as participants in order to enrich the study. The study is underpinned by the Social Identity Theory (SIT) which is guided by the pursuit of evaluative positive social identity through positive intergroup distinctiveness, which is, in turn, motivated by the need for positive self-esteem (Tafjel & Tunner in 1979). Thus, according to Hogg (2006), social identity is motivated by self-enhancement and uncertainty reduction, which causes groups to strive to be both better than and distinct from other groups. This theory afforded the researcher the opportunity to understand how teachers’ personal identity and professional identities are influenced by the categorisation status of their schools as well as by their associates. This study revealed that the no fee categorisation status seems to affect the teacher identity and their professional identities which in turn appears to affect the culture of teaching and learning in NFS. This is indicated by data that some of the teachers in NFS seem to be in denial or feel rejected whilst some are proud and embracing teaching in these disadvantaged schools. The study further reveals inadequacy of the funding systems to address lack of resources in NFS means teaches have to provide for these in one way or another. One of the main findings of this study is that various strategies used by the NFS in trying to enhance the culture of teaching and learning in their schools produces differentiated results depending on teacher’s attitudes, commitment, determination and hard work. The study also reveals that teachers from the same communities as the schools in which they work are more dedicated and willing to go an extra mile to plough back. In addition to this, teachers from similar environments seem to be driven by their backgrounds to help and support destitute learners. Amongst the strategies used in schools, matric revision camp, cell phone policy and parenting of learners by teachers are the most effective in terms of enhancing culture of teaching and learning thereby improving matric results. Moreover, the study further divulges that some of the teachers in NFS are committed, motivated and hardworking despite the contextual factors found in these schools. Furthermore, learners in these schools tend to mirror their teacher’s positive attitudes, hard work and determination towards their work which in turn they apply in their own studies. The study concludes with the findings that the teachers in underperforming NFS have to prove their worth to their associates in affluent schools or high performing NFS. Structural committees used at school levels have a positive contribution in the effective implementation of the intervention and support programs directed at NFS.

Full text
Abstract:
Demand for health services is growing, but funding is often failing to keep pace. To ensure that budgets are balanced and that delivered services continue to be high quality, decision makers are having to set priorities, removing funding from some services- this is disinvestment. This thesis details research incorporating a literature review followed by a two stage empirical investigation into the way that disinvestment decisions are made and whether or not the public should be involved. The first stage is a Q-Methodology study, the second is in-depth interviews. The population for the study is NHS health professionals (including managers and clinicians). 55 participants took part in the Q-study, and of these, 20 took part in follow-up interviews. The study highlighted three distinct perspectives, all of which supported public involvement. One was unequivocal in its support, another highlighted some potential disadvantages to involving the public and the third suggested that the public should have the freedom to choose whether they became involved. The follow up interviews re-iterated participants’ support for involvement but suggested that the public should become involved earlier and to a greater extent in those disinvestment decisions which affected more patients and/or resulted in a tangible loss of services.

Abstract:
Model selection methods and nonparametric estimation of Levy densities are presented. The estimation relies on the properties of Levy processes for small time spans, on the nature of the jumps of the process, and on methods of estimation for spatial Poisson processes. Given a linear space S of possible Levy densities, an asymptotically unbiased estimator for the orthogonal projection of the Levy density onto S is found. It is proved that the expected standard error of the proposed estimator realizes the smallest possible distance between the true Levy density and the linear space S as the frequency of the data increases and as the sampling time period gets longer. Also, we develop data-driven methods to select a model among a collection of models. The method is designed to approximately realize the best trade-off between the error of estimation within the model and the distance between the model and the unknown Levy density. As a result of this approach and of concentration inequalities for Poisson functionals, we obtain Oracles inequalities that guarantee us to reach the best expected error (using projection estimators) up to a constant. Numerical results are presented for the case of histogram estimators and variance Gamma processes. To calibrate parametric models,a nonparametric estimation method with least-squares errors is studied. Comparison with maximum likelihood estimation is provided. On a separate problem, we review the theoretical properties of temepered stable processes, a class of processes with potential great use in Mathematical Finance.

Abstract:
Includes bibliographical references.
Markov-Functional models are a very powerful class of market models which calibrate and compute prices and Greeks quickly. This dissertation explains, in detail, how Markov-Functional models work as well as discussing all of the specific models developed in the literature. It contains the key points that can be found in the present literature. We explain, in detail, all of the concepts, from the theoretical framework down to the numerical implementation of the specific models. This involves explaining the framework for Markov-Functional models, describing specific models, obtaining a deeper understanding of how the model parameters affect the results, discussing the issues involved in the implementation, implementing various models and investigating the effect of numerical and market parameters on the outcome. Various concepts, not discussed in the present literature, such as considerations for selecting a discretization grid for the numerical implementation, are developed. The practical application of Markov-Functional models is considered as well as alternative fields, such as Actuarial science, where the model can be applied. In summary, this dissertation embodies a complete discussion of the current class of Markov-Functional models.

Perrone, Nicolas. "The international investment regime and foreign investors' rights : another view of a popular story." Thesis, London School of Economics and Political Science (University of London), 2013. http://etheses.lse.ac.uk/776/.

Full text
Abstract:
The international investment regime (IIR) has been subject to several criticisms since the mid-2000s. There have been many calls for recalibration and reconsideration of the purpose of this regime. In response, subsequent investment awards have shown changes in areas such as the degree of legal stability, deference, or emergency exceptions. However, the calls for rebalancing and reform have not ceased. In fact, they have recently gained new impetus. In the last years, most critical research has focused on investment arbitration. In this line of argument, apparently, the controversial issue is the remedy and not the substance of the rights. This thesis contributes to this debate from the premise that looking at the remedies only cannot suffice to address the social tensions that the IIR creates between foreign investors, host states and host communities. Very limited attention has been devoted to the analysis of the potential effects international investment treaties may have on the very content of foreign investor's rights. By emphasising the procedural safeguards and guarantees international investment treaties provide, much of the legal debate implicitly overlooks whether or not investment tribunals are substantiating foreign investors' proprietary rights. this thesis addresses this gap in the literature examining the IIR as a legal regime that fulfils essential constitutional property functions: i.e. the substantiation and enforcement of proprietary rights. In case of an investment dispute, arbitrators very often define the measure of control that foreign investors enjoy over their assets. The content of foreign investors' rights depends on interpretation. The main argument of this thesis is that the interpretation of foreign investors' proprietary rights depends on the dominant justifications for foreign investment protection. As a result, contractualist and neo-utilitarian rationales constitute the basis to understand how investment tribunals substantiate foreign investors' rights over the resources of different countries. Relying on this claim, this thesis examines the socio-relational effects of the IIR on host countries and local populations. It concludes that the challenge for this regime is to balance the excessive focus on wealth maximisation through foreign investment.
