Creating a Frame: A Spatial Approach to Random Sampling of Immigrant Households in Inner City Johannesburg

How the implementation of local governance can be improved in the developing world is an open research question. This study discusses the difficulty of transitioning toward local governance in Turkey. To analyze the basic difficulties of local governance, a survey was conducted using a random sampling method within the inner city municipalities of Ankara. The findings indicate that improving local governance by enhancing transparency and building mechanisms of e-governance is the first step to motivating the public to participate in and to move toward a system of local governance. In general, each of these strategies would likely increase overall citizen involvement and, in particular, would increase the involvement of those citizens between 26 and 35 years old.

Coastal Settlement

<p><em>The research Purposes is 1) Knowing coastal settlement quality at jepara district 2) Knowing coastal health condition level society 3) Knowing the correlation settlement quality between health level condition at Jepara District. The method used in this research is descriptive quantitative with spatial approach, the population in this research is settlement located at coastal area of Jepara District in 5 villages Demaan, Bulu, Kauman, Jobokuto, Ujungbatu. Technical sampling used proportional random sampling. Based on the result of the research the conclusion of the research is (1) settlement quality in coastal is on the good classified and medium classified for 34 settlement block which proportion 8 block is good classified and 26 block medium classified. The methode used is sattelite images interpretation and terrestrial. (2) health level condition in coastal has a various level from high classified and low classified if it is seen from incident rate of 5 diseases, based on administration demaan has the IR of 13,03 (low), Bulu 25,16 (high), Kauman 16,37 (low), Jobokuto 19,35 (normal), Ujungbatu 18,05 (normal) it shows that Demaan village has IR 13,03 it means there are 13 people which has illness out of 100. (3) correlation between settlement quality and health level condition in coastal has same direction but not too significant, with correlation value 0,275 (enough). correlation health level condition not only caused from settlement quality but it caused by many factor in that area.</em></p>

Specific Orientation

Investigations which require electron microscope examination of a few specific areas of non-homogeneous tissues make random sampling of small blocks an inefficient and unrewarding procedure. Therefore, several investigators have devised methods which allow obtaining sample blocks for electron microscopy from region of tissue previously identified by light microscopy of present here techniques which make possible: 1) sampling tissue for electron microscopy from selected areas previously identified by light microscopy of relatively large pieces of tissue; 2) dehydration and embedding large numbers of individually identified blocks while keeping each one separate; 3) a new method of maintaining specific orientation of blocks during embedding; 4) special light microscopic staining or fluorescent procedures and electron microscopy on immediately adjacent small areas of tissue.

Twenty students between the ages of 6 and 19 years who were receiving services for students with hearing impairments in a metropolitan, inner-city school system were trained to monitor their own hearing aids. This study investigated the effect of this training on the percentage of students who wore functional hearing aids. Ten of the students received fewer than 3 hours of instruction per day in the regular education setting and generally had hearing losses in the severe to profound range. The remaining 10 students received greater than 3 hours of instruction per day in the regular education setting and had hearing losses in the moderate to severe range. The findings indicated improved hearing aid function when students were actively involved in hearing aid maintenance programs. Recommendations are made concerning hearing aid maintenance in the schools.
