End Results

Since the treatment of juveniles as in-patients in a special unit is somewhat unusual in mental hospital practice, a brief introduction may not be out of place. These units might be considered as another development in a trend which has been progressing for the past 25 years. Until 1930 certification of all admissions to mental hospitals and a mainly custodial régime ensured the majority of patients being largely the end-results of psychiatric illness. Since 1930 the steadily increasing use of the voluntary system has brought many patients to hospital at a stage when their illness can be favourably influenced by modern therapeutic methods. An associated development was the increased provision of wards or units separate from the chronically disturbed cases, or even, as at this hospital, a complete villa system of detached and semi-detached wards for mainly voluntary adult patients.

Informative Prior Distribution

 This work presents a Bayesian approach for estimating the limiting availability of an one-unit repairable system. A Bayesian analysis is developed considering an informative prior and a less informative prior distribution, respectively. Simulations are presented to study the performance of the Bayesian solutions. The maximum likelihood method is also revisited. Finally, a case study is considered, the Bayesian methodology is applied to estimate the limiting availability of a palletizer, which is used in the packaging of glass bottles. Extensions to a coherent system are also discussed.

System A

Focus areas for a management information system for top, middle and lower level management in a financial institution. This research project was conducted at one of South Africa's major banks. This bank has a client base of approximately five million clients and approximately eight million active accounts. Since the term 'Management Information Systems' was relatively new to this bank, the purpose of this project was to do a critical evaluation of the existing management information system. This was done by means of a questionnaire to top, middle and lower level management in the bank. These data were processed by making use of stepwise linear regression as well as all possible subset multiple linear regression methods. A number of critical success factors were identified and prioritized for each of four subsets of the population. These subsets are the following: top and middle management; regions; operational management; and all users of the information system. A number of recommendations were made for establishing an improved service provided by the systems development team.

Open And Distance Learning

Open and Distance Learning (ODL) is an educational tool with a transformational social role in eliminating gender inequality as well as educational inequalities. In line with this idea, the aim of this study is to examine the opportunities offered by an ODL system to female learners and its contributions in closing the gap arising from gender inequality in education through the lens of feminist pedagogy. To this end, a qualitative research paradigm was adopted, and a narrative research design was conducted to analyze the stories of women in an ODL system. The findings of the study reveal that women in the study still encounter some barriers and constraints on access to education and school completion because they are women. ODL, with its flexible and autonomous learning environment, is thought to play a key role for the women in the study to cling to hope and to ensure social justice in the society
