    The social work services need and the significant role of women in the school system of the North West Province

    No full text
    There have been, in recent months, an upsurge in ill-disciple and other untoward behavior across the country's schools. Events of violence and misconduct in the South African schools at both primary and higher or secondary levels lead much to be desired. These events include amongst others learners' attitude towards the school system as a whole, behavior towards rules and regulations as well as behavior towards teachers and peers. All these play a role in how the learners conduct themselves ultimately as well as the influence these behavior and attitude have on the other learners. Schools in the North West Province have also been experiencing these embarrassing and unwanted acts. A ripple effect results; truancy, learning of deviant behavior like experimenting with alcohol and harmful substance in the name of conformity, pre-mature sexual activities which in turn could lead to teenage and unwanted pregnancies and health diseases like STD's and HIV contraction, abortion and even dropping out of the school system. The upshot is failure to secure employment because of lack of scholastic qualification and thus creating a trapped-in feeling in a poor socio-economic environment. The persistence of these social problems and its accompanying challenges obviously shows that schools are not adequately equipped to deal with them. This study concentrated on the need for and existence of experts like social workers, most especially women, to deal with the menace

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    Get PDF
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
