The history and politics of liberation archives at Fort Hare
No full textIncludes bibliographical references.This thesis, the first of its kind on liberation historiography, seeks to put the liberation movements archives housed at the University of Fort Hare in context. The thesis focuses mainly on the 1990s, when the repatriation of struggle material by Fort Hare working hand in glove with the liberation movements, mainly the African National Congress ANC), the Pan Africanist Congress(PAC) and the Black Consciousness Movement (BCM), was at its height
Perspectives of Haitian nurses on end-of-life care to hospitalized elderly: analysis from transcultural nursing theory
No full textThe aging of the population is a global issue that requires attention from health service
managers, especially in developing countries with limited resources, such as Haiti. The
elderly often suffer from chronic diseases that, at some point, no longer respond to
treatments aimed at modifying them, ultimately leading to the end of life. In this phase,
nursing becomes essential, and when providing care, it must consider the cultural aspects
that involve the life history of the elderly, respecting their beliefs, values, and desires— a
challenge in the context of hospitalization. Therefore, this research aimed to understand the
perspectives of Haitian nurses on end-of-life care for hospitalized elderly individuals based
on the concepts of transcultural nursing. To answer this, a qualitative study was conducted
based on the Theory of Transcultural Nursing. Between July and September 2024,
semi-structured interviews were conducted online or completed via Google Forms with 11
nurses working at the Centre Médico-Social de Ouanaminthe (CMSO), Haiti. The data were
managed using the Atlas.ti program, in its demo and cloud versions, and we used thematic
content analysis. We obtained the consent to conduct the research at CMSO. We structured
the results into two categories: 'Training of Haitian nurses for the care of hospitalized elderly
at the end of life' and 'The interface of culture in the dimensions of care for hospitalized
elderly at the end of life.' In the first category, I presented an overview of the main elements
of the training of Haitian nurses for the care of elderly individuals at the end of life, focusing
on the areas of gerontology and palliative care. It was found that, although they mention specific training, it is focused on physical aspects and seems to lack sufficient time to directly impact the care provided. This was evident when identifying the challenges and difficulties faced by hospitalized elderly individuals at the end of life. In the second category, I discuss the main elements of the cultural interface in the
dimensions of care for elderly individuals hospitalized at the end of life. It was notable, on the
one hand, that nurses attempted to incorporate cultural aspects into the care provided,
despite the precarious economic structure of the service. On the other hand, limitations and
cultural clashes were evident, arising from the difference between nurses' worldviews
regarding elderly people’s behavior and their preferences for generic care, which sometimes
took precedence over more personalized care from health professionals. I conclude that
there is a need for political, economic, and structural investment to establish a palliative
culture within the service, as well as to train nurses for comprehensive and culturally
congruent care—something fundamental, considering the specificities of Haitian elderly
individuals and their ways of life.Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPESO envelhecimento da população é um problema mundial, que exige atenção dos gestores

semiestruturadas online ou respondidas via Google Forms com 11 enfermeiras atuantes no
Centro Médico-Social de Ouanaminthe (CMSO), Haiti. Os dados foram gerenciados no
programa Atlas.ti, em sua versão de demonstração e em nuvem, tendo sido submetidos à
análise de conteúdo do tipo temática. Foi solicitada a anuência para realização da pesquisa
ao CMSO, a qual foi concedida. Os resultados foram estruturados em duas categorias: “A
formação das enfermeiras haitianas para o cuidado aos idosos em fim de vida
hospitalizados” e “A interface da cultura nas dimensões do cuidado aos idosos em fim de
vida hospitalizados”. Na primeira categoria é apresentada uma visão dos principais
elementos da formação das enfermeiras haitianas para os cuidados com os idosos em fim
de vida, com enfoque nas áreas da gerontologia e dos cuidados paliativos. Identificou-se
que embora mencionem formação específica, ela demonstra-se centrada em aspectos
físicos e parece carecer de tempo suficiente para impactar diretamente nos cuidados
ofertados, o que foi perceptível ao apontarem as facilidades e dificuldades diante da
hospitalização dos idosos em fim de vida. Na segunda categoria, discorre-se sobre os
principais elementos da interface da cultura nas dimensões do cuidado aos idosos em final
de vida hospitalizados, tendo sido perceptível, por um lado, a tentativa das enfermeiras
incorporarem aspectos da cultura nos cuidados ofertados mesmo em meio à precária
estrutura econômica do serviço e, por outro, as limitações e choques culturais causados pela
diferença entre as visões de mundo das enfermeiras sobre o comportamento dos idosos e
suas preferências em relação aos cuidados genéricos em detrimento dos cuidados dos
profissionais de saúde. Conclui-se que há necessidade de investimento político, econômico
e estrutural em direção à constituição de uma cultura paliativista no serviço, além de
formação das enfermeiras para o cuidado ampliado e culturalmente congruente, algo
fundamental, considerando as especificidades dos idosos haitianos e seus modos de vida

The assessment of motivation in the Saint Paul Hotel employees
Get PDFPlan BKey words: hospitality and tourism, employees’ motivation, turnover, absenteeism, human resource. The collective hotel industry is a significant parrot of the world tourism industry. The industry is by design delivers services to be registered and non registered guests. Key in the process of delivering service in any hotel situation is the hotel staff. The ultimate quality of service provided will depend on the collective ability of staff, training and individual motivation to produce the services demanded by the guest. Hotels are physical structures supported by human resources that enable the delivery of service. Key in the process of delivering quality service is the individual motivation of all employees whether professional, skilled or unskilled. With the growth of the service industry the hotel industry now competes for quality service employees. Research finds that it is a challenge for hotel management today to motivate employees to provide quality services as high turnover and absenteeism is widespread in the United States hotel industry. This study evaluated the motivation factors of employees in a four star hotel in St. Paul, Minnesota. The study centered on why people choose to work for this specific hotel while modeling motivational factors that enable their overall performance. The study also sought to learn if there is a gender based difference in motivational factors. The results of the study revealed that the main reasons people choose to work at the hotel was based on the “quality” class of the hotel, interesting jobs, salary and job security. When considering the gender construct, gender did have a role influencing employees’ perception of motivational factors. Males preferred salary, job security and loyalty to employees, while females preferred interesting jobs, working environment and camaraderie with co-workers
