Discerning similarities : concept and word at the intersection of analogy and metaphor
Source: Acta Academica 37, pp 1 –20 (2005)
<b>Die opmerking van ooreenkomste : konsep en woord op die kruispunt van analogie en metafoor</b> <br>Die unieke menslike vermoëns om te analiseer (identifiseer en onderskei) en om te beteken maak die komplekse verskynsels moontlik wat bekend staan as konsepte en woorde. Met hierdie artikel word beoog om - in gesprek met die resente teorie van "konseptuele metafoor" soos ontwikkel deur Lakoff en Johnson en met die vroeëre idees van Cassirer, Rickert and Reichling - tot groter duidelikheid te kom insake die verhouding tussen die logies-analitiese en die tekenaspekte van die werklikheid. Die invalshoek wat benut word gaan uit van die ontologiese onderskeiding tussen bestaanswyses en konkrete entiteite en handelinge. Hoewel enige konkrete denk- of taalhandeling in beginsel tegelyk in die logies-analitiese en linguale aspekte funksioneer, slaag die blote konstatering van hierdie feit nog nie daarin om die gestelde problem op te los nie. Meer gesofistikeerde argumente word benodig.
The uniquely human abilities to analyse (in the sense of "distinguish" as well as "identify") and to signify make possible the complex phenomena known to us as concepts and words. In debate with the theory of "conceptual metaphor" as developed by Lakoff and Johnson and with the earlier ideas of Cassirer, Rickert and Reichling, this article sets out to clarify the connections between the logical-analytical and the sign modes of reality. This approach proceeds from the ontological distinction between modes of being and concrete entities and actions. Although any concrete act of thinking or speaking functions in principle at once within the logical-analytical and the lingual aspects, this does not resolve the problem of the order relation between these two aspects, and more refined arguments are required.

<b>Die staatsregtelik-begronde dinamiek van die burgerlike samelewing en die rol van die kerke in Suid-Afrika</b> <br>Die konsep "burgerlike samelewing" vorm 'n belangrike faset van die verhouding tussen kerk en staat. Die burgerlike samelewing, 'n aanvaarbare en uiters relevante begrip binne hedendaagse staatsregtelike en politieke teorieë, bevat eienskappe ter bevordering van demokrasie en die vryheid van godsdiensbeoefening. Vir die kerke in Suid-Afrika is dit nodig om hul godsdienstige belange te bevorder deur middel van die insigte verbonde aan die burgerlike samelewing. Dit is juis deur hierdie algemeen aanvaarbare en dinamiese konsep dat die kerke, sonder voorbehoud, ingesluit moet word as 'n effektiewe rolspeler binne die openbare sfeer.
The concept of "civil society" is an important facet of the relationship between church and state. Civil society, as an acceptable and extremely relevant element in present-day constitutional and political theories, contains characteristics which promote democracy and the freedom of religious expression. The churches in South Africa need to promote their religious interests by means of the insights associated with civil society. It is, in fact, through this generally accepted and dynamic concept, that the churches, without reservation, must be included as effective role-players in the public arena.
E-governance in South Africa : are we coping?
Source: Acta Academica 37, pp 52 –69 (2005)
<b>E-regeerkunde in Suid-Afrika : kom ons die mas op?</b> <br>Regerings in ontwikkelde sowel as ontwikkelende state maak in 'n toenemende mate van elektroniese regeerkunde gebruik om met mekaar en die gemeenskap interaksie te hê en te kommunikeer, asook om doeltreffende dienste te lewer. In ontwikkelende state soos Suid-Afrika waar sosiale en ontwikkelingsuitdagings akuut is, is dit nodig om goed geartikuleerde openbare beleid en IKT-ontwikkelingsplanne vir die bevordering van effektiewe e-regeerkunde te ontwikkel. Die artikel evalueer die huidige en toekomstige effektiwiteit van e-regeerkunde in Suid-Afrika.
Governments in developed as well as developing countries are making increasing use of electronic governance to interact and communicate with one another and with their citizens, as well as to deliver more effective services. In developing countries such as South Africa, where social and developmental challenges are acute, it is particularly important to develop well-articulated public policies and ICT plans that will promote effective e-governance. This article evaluates the current and imminent efficacy of e-governance in South Africa.
Globalisation and its effect on the South African labour market : evidence from the manufacturing sector

<b>Die effek van globalisering op die Suid-Afrikaanse arbeidsmark : bewyse uit die vervaardigingsektor</b> <br>Hierdie artikel ondersoek die impak van globalisering op indiensname en lone in die Suid-Afrikaanse vervaardigingsektor vir die periode 1993 tot 2001. Globalisering het tot 'n oper ekonomie gelei. Uitvoervolumes het gestyg en vervaardigde goedere het relatief tot mynbouprodukte in belangrikheid toegeneem. Binne die vervaardigingsmandjie het arbeidsintensiewe goedere ook belangriker geword. Produktiwiteit het toegeneem, maar daar was geen netto toename in werkskepping nie en ongeskoolde lone het nie gestyg nie. Regressie-analise toon dat uitvoere 'n positiewe uitwerking op indiensname het, maar slegs vir hoogs geskoolde werkers en nie vir semi- en ongeskoolde werkers nie.
This article investigates the impact of globalisation on employment and wages in the South African manufacturing sector for the period 1993 to 2001. Globalisation has led to a more open economy. Export volumes have increased and manufactured goods have gained ground in relation to mining products. Within the manufacturing basket, labour-intensive goods have become more important. Productivity has increased, but there has been no nett job creation or increase in unskilled wages. Regression results indicate that exports have a positive effect on employment, but only for highly skilled workers, not for semi-skilled or unskilled employees.
The nature and development of the construct "quality of work life"

<b>Die aard en ontwikkeling van die "kwaliteit van werklewe"- konstruk</b> <br>Die afgelope dekade is gekenmerk deur grootskaalse veranderinge ten opsigte van die aard en samestelling van die werksmag in Suid-Afikaanse organisasies. Die groter klem op kenniswerknemers, etniese diversiteit binne organisasies, asook veranderinge in die waardestelsels en oortuigings binne die werksmag, word beskou as faktore wat moontlik die kwaliteit van werklewe (KWL) van werknemers kan beïnvloed. Dit is opvallend dat daar 'n gebrek aan eenstemmigheid in die literatuur bestaan oor wat presies die KWL-konstuk behels en hoe dit gemeet behoort te word. In hierdie literatuuroorsig word gepoog om meer inligting te verskaf oor die inhoud en aard van die konstruk. Die oorsprong en ontwikkeling van die KWL-konstruk, asook die verskillende benaderings wat gevolg word in die definiëring en meting daarvan, word bespreek. Die literatuuroorsig toon dat KWL 'n konstruk is wat nie noodwendig op 'n universele wyse gedefinieer kan word nie. Die wyse waarop dit gedefinieer word, die benadering tot, asook die meting daarvan, hang klaarblyklik af van die doelwitte wat navorsers en bestuurspraktisyns daarmee wil bereik.
Major changes have taken place in the nature and composition of organisations in South Africa. The greater importance of knowledge workers, the different ethnic composition of the membership of organisations, and changes in value systems and beliefs may be seen as factors influencing the quality of employees' work life (QWL). There is a significant lack of clarity regarding QWL as a construct, and no single instrument to promote consistency in its measurement. This article therefore attempts to provide more information on the content of the construct by means of a literature review. The origin and development of the construct, as well as the different approaches taken to define and measure it, are discussed. QWL emerges as a multifaceted and ambiguous construct with no universal identity. How it is defined, how to approach or measure it appear to depend on the goals of the various researchers and management practitioners.

<b>'n Dagboekanalise van pasiënte met <I>bulimia nervosa</I></b> <br>Georganiseerde kognitiewe strukture wat lei tot die ontwikkeling en instandhouding van eetversteurings blyk die kernoorsaak te verteenwoordig in die psigopatologie van <I>bulimia nervosa</I>. Vir hierdie studie is die outobiografiese inskrwings in dagboeke van bulimiese pasiënte wat 'n kursus van kognitiewe gedragsterapie ondergaan het, aan die begin en die einde van die terapie vergelyk. Pasiënte is aan een van twee groepe toegewys op grond van 'n terapie-uitkoms wat suksesvol (n = 21) of onsuksesvol (n = 7) was. Die resultate toon aan dat daar in die suksesvolle groep - in teenstelling met die onsuksesvolle groep - statisties beduidende afnames in die gebruik van spesifieke selfverkleinerende woorde wat dui op die gedagtegang van persone met eetversteurings en gemoedsversteurings.
Organised cognitive structures leading to the development and maintenance of eating disorders appear to be represented in the core psychopathology of<I>bulimia nervosa</I>. This study investigated the self-statements of bulimic patients by analysing self-report diaries from patients who had completed a course of cognitive behavioural therapy. Patients were assigned to one of two groups according to the outcome of therapy: successful (n=21) or unsuccessful (n=7). The results showed that there were statistically significant decreases in the use of specific self-denigrating words indicating thoughts relating to both eating disorder and affective disorder for the successful group but not for the unsuccessful group.
The Bill of Rights : implications for South African schools ten years into democracy

<b>Die Handves van Menseregte : implikasies vir Suid-Afrikaanse skole na tien jaar van demokrasie</b> <br>Regsverslae voor 1993 dui daarop dat skoolbevoegdhede, <I>de jure</I>, nie onbeperk was nie. Skole wat in gebreke gebly het om te voldoen aan die neergelegde prosedures het hulself dikwels midde in regsgedinge en hofuitsprake bevind en uitsprake is dikwels teen sulke skole gelewer. Die toepassing van die Handves van Menseregte, met 'n oorgang vanaf parlementêre soewereiniteit na konstitusionele demokrasie in 1996, het dit noodsaaklik gemaak vir Suid-Afrikaners om hierdie fundamentele verandering te begryp en te aanvaar aangesien die implikasies hiervan hulself in 'n verskeidenheid situasies, insluitende die skoolomgewing, openbaar. Ten spyte van tien jaar van demokrasie blyk daar steeds 'n gebrek aan begrip te wees rakende die Handves van Menseregte in die konteks van Suid-Afrikaanse skole. Die toepassing van die Handves van Menseregte, teenstrydige regsaansprake en die konflik tussen die Grondwet en die meerderheidsiening is steeds sake wat probleme meebring.
Law reports prior to 1993 indicate that, de jure, school powers were not unlimited. The failure of schools to follow established procedures would result in occasional legal challenges and judgements against such schools. The imposition of the Bill of Rights in 1996, with its shift from parliamentary sovereignty to a constitutional democracy, made it crucial for South Africans to comprehend and accept this fundamental change, whose implications are currently playing themselves out in a variety of situations, including schools. Despite ten years of democracy there appears to be considerable lack of understanding of the Bill of Rights in the context of South African schools. The Bill's application, conflicts among various rights, and differences between the constitution and majority views remain problematic issues.

<b>Die voorsiening van handboeke / leermateriaal aan hoërskole in Swaziland</b> <br>Die doel van hierdie studie is om vas te stel of daar enigsins 'n regeringsbeleid bestaan vir die voorsiening van handboeke en skryfbehoeftes aan hoërskoolleerlinge in Swaziland; om te bepaal wie verantwoordelik is vir die voorsiening van handboeke en skryfbehoeftes aan hoërskoolleerlinge in Swaziland en om te bepaal watter stelsel deur hoërskole gebruik word om leerlinge toegang tot handboeke en skryfbehoeftes te gee. Uit die studie is die volgende bevindings gemaak: daar bestaan geen regeringsbeleid ten opsigte van die regulering en voorsiening van handboeke en skryfbehoeftes aan leerlinge in hoërskole nie; ouers is ten volle verantwoordelik vir die voorsiening van handboeke en skryfbehoeftes aan leerlinge en die meeste hoërskole maak gebruik van die boekleenstelsel om leerlinge toegang tot handboeke en skryfbehoeftes te verleen. Die boekleenstelsel het voor- en nadele wat verder ondersoek en verfyn moet word.
This study set out to establish whether there was any government policy regarding the provision of textbooks and stationery to high school learners in Swaziland; to determine whose responsibility it was to provide learners with these materials, and to assess the system used by high schools to give learners access to them. The study found that there was no government policy regulating the provision of textbooks and stationery to learners in high schools; that parents were solely responsible for providing such materials, and that most high schools used the book loan system (which has its advantages and disadvantages, and should be refined) to give learners access to the requisite materials.
The experiences of redeployed educators from down-sized schools

Extracted from text ... Simeon Maile The experiences of redeployed educators from down-sized schools The process of redeployment is viewed in this article from the perspective of the theory of managerialism in order to explain why educational institutions change. Redeployment is seen as part of the transformation process. Redeployment victims suffer a syndrome characterised by feelings of loss, anxiety, anger, insecurity, mistrust and stress. This syndrome is described by means of empirical data. The article compares arguments from theoretical propositions and integrates them with the data drawn from empirical investigation. While redeployment has succeeded in distributing educators across the education system, it has also ..
The pains and gains of incorporation : reflections from inside a redeployed faculty

<b>Die pyne en winste van inkorporering: besinning vanuit 'n herontplooide fakulteit</b> <br>Die herstrukturering van die hoëronderwysstelsel in Suid-Afrika maak deel uit van die sosiale transformasieproses van die Suid-Afrikaanse regering. Die inkorporering van die Bloemfonteinkampus van Vista-Universiteit by die Universiteit van die Vrystaat (UV) is deel van hierdie proses. Uit die literatuur is dit duidelik dat strategiese institusionele leierskap, sterk beheer en personeeldeelname tesame met eerlikheid en vertroue, deurslaggewende faktore is wanneer dit kom by 'n suksesvolle samesmelting / inkorporering. Dit is egter bekend dat samesmeltings misluk het as gevolg van botsende institusionele kulture. Die kommunikasie tussen al die belanghebbendes moet openlik, deursigtig en effektief wees, terwyl die menslike aspek as die belangrikste faktor in samesmelting beskou kan word. Hierdie artikel doen verslag oor 'n studie waarin hoofsaaklik op die menslike aspekte van inkorporering gekonsentreer word.
The restructuring of the higher education system in South Africa forms part of the social transformation process of the South African government. The incorporation of the Bloemfontein campus of Vista University into the University of the Free State (UFS) is also part of this process. The literature reveals that strategic institutional leadership, strong governance and staff participation, together with honesty and trust, are crucial factors in ensuring successful mergers / incorporation. Incorporations have been known to fail due to a clash of institutional cultures. Communication among all parties must be open, transparent and effective, but the human factor can be regarded as the most important aspect of incorporation. This article reports on the findings of a study concerned mainly with the "people issues" within an incorporation process.
