▼ In this thesis, a Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID)
guidance scheme is discussed to improve the miss distance accuracy and the finite time stability problem in the Proportional Navigation
Guidance (PNG). The primary goal of this study is to design the PID
guidance that can accurately intercept the fast maneuvering target. The PID
guidance is the extended version of the PNG with the integral and derivative terms in parallel. For the understanding of the conventional PNG model, the two-dimensional (2-D) engagement model of the missile and target is analyzed. Two characteristics are found in the PNG model: (1) its’ stability is kept in the finite time but becomes unstable at the vicinity of the interception and (2) the Line-of-sight angle rate (LOSR) increases as the target acceleration magnitude increases.
To regulate the LOSR, the PID
guidance is derived based on the servomechanism theory. The PID
guidance model replaces the proportional gain of the conventional PNG model by the PID controller. A PID controller design using the numerical method through the iterative simulation is presented. For the various missile and target initial geometries, the capture region of the PID
guidance is evaluated and compared with the conventional PNG model. In the end, the PID
guidance model shows the improved miss distance accuracy, the extended stable time, and extended capture region when compared with the PNG model.

▼ Objectives: This study was designed to address whether or not the level (high or low) of Streptococcus mutans in the saliva of preschool children can be used as an indicator of caries risk.
Material and Methods: Levels of Streptococcus mutans was assessed in saliva of 100 preschool children, before and approximately 6-months after receiving a health promotion intervention known as anticipatory
guidance. The S. mutans bacterial level was assessed using an immunoassay system (Saliva-Check MUTANS) based on monoclonal antibody technology. Bacterial counts were determined at baseline as well as at a six month recall examination. Obtained data was analyzed using SPSS 20.0 for Windows to report frequencies and to look for trends and associations between the dependent and independent variables. Bivariate analysis (ANOVA, Chi Square/Fishers/McNemar exact test) was used to identify associations between variables.
Results: The main finding of this study was that higher levels of Streptococcus mutans were associated with higher caries prevalence at baseline, and caries incidence at follow-up. Furthermore following anticipatory
guidance, the levels of Streptococcus mutans were reduced at the subsequent follow-up examination, approaching but not reaching statistical significance, and caries incidence was significantly lower in subjects demonstrating low Streptococcus mutans levels.
Conclusions: Results from this study have shown that anticipatory
guidance, offered to caregivers and children at an initial examination, led to a statistically non-significant reduction in the proportion of children with high Streptococcus mutans levels upon recall six mothers later. Children with low Streptococcus mutans levels were also less likely to develop new dental caries. These findings suggest that Streptococcus Mutans counts could be used to assess caries risk and encourages clinicians to provide anticipatory
guidance to their patients to help avoid the development of new caries.

▼ Learners need effective school-based
Guidance and Counselling Services to assist them with their developmental and situational needs. The main aim of the study was to evaluate the extent to which
Guidance-Counselling Program is implemented in secondary schools in line with South African Education White Paper 6 of 2001 and ACSA Performance Standards. The study further intended to capacitate educators and
Guidance counsellors with knowledge and skills on how to develop and maintain effective Comprehensive and Integrated
Guidance-Counselling Services in their institutions.
A sample of 153 educators and 130 learners was selected from secondary schools in Gauteng and Mpumalanga provinces. Secondary schools that received (orientation) training on SA Education White Paper 6 from the researcher were compared with those who did not receive such training.
Data was collected through a questionnaire consisting of structured and semi-structured questions. Responses from focus groups were content analyzed into themes and descriptive techniques were utilized. The Objective/Close-ended questions were analysed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) (Version 17). x2 Tests were computed for categorical data and to analyze any differences, in relation to level implementation of
Guidance-Counselling Program.
The main finding of the study was that, secondary schools differ significantly on how they implement Life Orientation,
Guidance and Counselling activities. Furthermore, there is a perfect relationship among secondary school learners and educators on how they perceive the
Guidance-Counselling Services within their respective institutions. The need for Comprehensive and Integrated
Guidance-Counselling Program Model, clear guidelines and performance standards cannot therefore be overlooked. If this program is effectively implemented, it may contribute substantially towards excellent academic results, improved psychological well-being, and production of matured and responsible future citizens.

▼ The purpose of this study was to examine the nature of career guidance collaboration
between schools and industry in Lundazi district. The objectives of the study were; to
establish the nature of career guidance collaboration between schools and industry, to
determine how pupils benefited if at all they did, from the collaboration between school
career guidance and industry, and to devise strategies that would help strengthen career
guidance collaboration between schools and industry. A descriptive survey design and
qualitative methods were employed. Data was collected through interviews and focus
group discussions. The sample comprised of 2 head teachers, 2 guidance teachers, 24
pupils and 10 human resources officers giving a total of 38 respondents. Purposive
sampling was used to select head teachers, guidance teachers and human resources
officers. Simple random sampling technique was employed to select the pupils. Data
collected was analysed thematically. With regard to the nature of career guidance, the
findings revealed that the following were offered to pupils; career talks, motivation
talks, site visits, career exhibitions, entrepreneurial skills awareness, and
university/college entry requirements information. The findings further revealed that
pupils benefited from the school-industry collaborations through sponsorships,
improvement in discipline, school attendance and academic achievement, increased
awareness in educational and career paths and exposure to job environments. Pupils
however complained of irregular career talks by staff from industry. Concerning ways to
improve school-industry collaborations, recommendations included; increasing site
visits, invitations, outreach activities and advocacy and that the existing collaborations
between secondary schools with public and private institutions in their communities
should be strengthened.

▼ Structured career counseling is generally beneficial for participants. However, there is not a clear understanding of what factors (e.g., intervention characteristics, client characteristics) contribute to the effectiveness of career counseling. Stage of Change is a specific client characteristic in the psychotherapy field suggested to moderate outcome. The purposes of this study were to examine the effectiveness of a career-related college course in advancing a student's development, as measured by stage of change and by career maturity, and to determine if the effectiveness of a career-related college course— as measured by career maturity—was moderated by the stage of change of the student. The sample consisted of 132 undergraduate students enrolled in the career course or a comparison course over five semesters. The students in the career class demonstrated significantly higher posttest scores on the Committed Action variable than the comparison group, but the differences on the other measures (Stage Assignment, Readiness to Change, and Career Maturity Inventory) were nonsignificant. Also, none of the three measures of Stage of Change acted as a moderator on outcome. These findings suggest that the career course had a beneficial effect on students' ratio of action and maintenance behaviors to contemplation behaviors. More research should consider how the Stage of Change theory applies to career development, including testing instruments and evaluating outcomes of interventions.

▼ The aim of this study is to gain a thorough understanding
of the reasons for the high voluntary turnover amongst women
executives in South African organisations.Twenty-one,
semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with senior
South African businesswomen in order to establish the reasons they
had terminated their employment contracts. The feedback was
analysed using a combination of narrative, content and constant
comparative analysis. Snowball sampling generated a participant
base of women with an average tenure of 8 years in their previous
organisations; who collectively managed budgets exceeding R80
billion and were responsible for approximately 150 000 staff
members.The main reasons why these women left their organisations
included the following: the need to make a difference, their
exclusion from male social networks, their incompatibility with the
paternalistic organisational culture, a perceived lack of
organisational sponsorship and support, a values clash between the
individual and the organisation or with one individual in the
organisation and problems with their direct supervisor or board of
directors. After experiencing a general feeling of uneasiness and
dissatisfaction most of the women resigned as a result of a
specific incident occurring in their organisational life. This
paper offers insights into why women executives leave organisations
and shows that the much discussed glass ceiling and family support
networks do not feature as valid resignation reasons for women who
have been successful in their careers for many years. It also
presents the separation spiral - a model of the process that is
followed when women executives voluntarily terminate their
employment contracts.

▼ Both in the course of doing research and writing this thesis I have benefitted from the support and This study explores the main features of
guidance and counseling services in selected secondary schools of Addis Ababa and the views of stakeholders about their effectiveness and usefulness under five research questions. The research sought to evaluate the ways in which the problems faced by the youth and the concern with the normal conduct of the learning and teaching problems determined the features of ongoing school
guidance and counseling services and the considerations on the basis of which stakeholders value them as effective and useful. Empirical data consisted of both quantitative and qualitative information. The quantitative data was solicited through questionnaires that surveyed a total of 234 respondents (166 students, 8 counselors, 42 teachers, 13 administrators, and 5 parents). The qualitative data was collected through interviews with selected representatives from each of the groups who participated. Existing literature was reviewed to provide context in which current practices in secondary schools of Addis Ababa should be understood and their effectiveness evaluated. For quantitative data, for percentages and frequencies were calculated. The study revealed that school
guidance and counseling in secondary schools of Addis Ababa is organized and delivered in order to meet some of the immediate and pressing needs of students (including destitution, violence, irregular attendance, HIV/AIDS, and substance abuse) and deal with problems that are believed to negatively affect the teaching and learning process, not as a package of programs put together to enhance the intellectual and personal development of the student. Judgment about effectiveness and usefulness of the services varied from school to school and also depending on the demographic characteristics of the respondents. However, on most of the criteria used to measure effectiveness and usefulness, the majority of respondents viewed the services as effective and useful. The responses were also consistent regarding the factors that negatively affected the effectiveness of the services. Based on the findings, recommendations are made about how school
guidance and counseling in the city's secondary schools might be improved in the short term, and changed in the long term. It is suggested that interventions to improve the current system should focus on awareness creation, better coordination, and collaboration between counselors and their colleagues, and move away from violence as a means of enforcing discipline. Change in the long term should involve a rethinking of school
guidance and counseling in order to establish it in the school system on sound scientific and professional grounds.

▼ The purpose of the study was to ascertain the reasons why uniformed personnel in the Zambia National Service did not utilise the VCT services which were located in the ZNS Camps.
This would be of value to the management in the ZNS to be aware of the barriers existing that prevent VCT utilisation and how these barriers could be overcome in order to enhance the service, thereby promoting good health and productivity among personnel.
OBJECTIVES
The general objective of the study was to find out the barriers and perceptions of VCT which contributed to lack of utilisation of VCT services among ZNS personnel
Specific objectives were to determine extent of utilization of VCT services; to evaluate factors associated with utilisation or lack of utilisation of VCT services; to evaluate the knowledge and perceptions of VCT services; to find out the percentage of VCT clients accessing ART services and to make recommendations on the VCT programmes in the Zambia National Service in the light of the research findings.
RESPONDENTS
The study included male and female Commissioned and Non-Commissioned Officers of the rank from Private to Lieutenant Colonel aged between 18 and 49 years, who had not previously utilised the Camp VCT services. A total of 596 personnel participated in the study.
METHODS
Data was collected both quantitatively and qualitatively. Quantitative data was collected by administering a standardised pre-tested questionnaire to each participant. In addition, four focus group discussions were conducted; one in each Camp. A total of 24 personnel participated in the discussions. A checklist was also used in which information was collected from staff managing the VCT clinic and from the clinic VCT records.
The study was a cross-sectional survey. A convenient sample was chosen from the four Camps. However, due to the low ratio of female to male personnel in ZNS, all female personnel were purposely included in the study.
FINDINGS
The findings show that the overall knowledge of HIV and AIDS was very high (97%), and that over 97% of the respondents were aware that VCT services were available at the Camp clinics. Although records indicated that HIV and AIDS programmes such as HIV and AIDS Sensitization, Home Based Care, PMTCT, Peer Education and VCT were being implemented in the Camps, only 74% of the respondents said that they would like to know their HIV status but only 53.7% knew their status. The respondents who knew their status had done their HIV test either at the government or NGO facilities.
The respondents listed the barriers preventing VCT utilisation in ZNS Camps as fear of stigma (59.4%), fear of intimidation by Senior Officers (14.8%), fear of dismissal from employment (4.9),lack of confidentiality of VCT results by health providers (58%). Respondents felt that VCT services were attached with a lot of stigma and discrimination (70%).
Focus Group Discussions strongly criticised the centralised structure for ART which lacked confidentiality of HIV and AIDS information of personnel.

▼ The aim of this study is to gain a thorough
understanding of the reasons for the high voluntary turnover
amongst women executives in South African organisations.Twenty-one,
semi-structured, in-depth interviews were conducted with senior
South African businesswomen in order to establish the reasons they
had terminated their employment contracts. The feedback was
analysed using a combination of narrative, content and constant
comparative analysis. Snowball sampling generated a participant
base of women with an average tenure of 8 years in their previous
organisations; who collectively managed budgets exceeding R80
billion and were responsible for approximately 150 000 staff
members.The main reasons why these women left their organisations
included the following: the need to make a difference, their
exclusion from male social networks, their incompatibility with the
paternalistic organisational culture, a perceived lack of
organisational sponsorship and support, a values clash between the
individual and the organisation or with one individual in the
organisation and problems with their direct supervisor or board of
directors. After experiencing a general feeling of uneasiness and
dissatisfaction most of the women resigned as a result of a
specific incident occurring in their organisational life. This
paper offers insights into why women executives leave organisations
and shows that the much discussed glass ceiling and family support
networks do not feature as valid resignation reasons for women who
have been successful in their careers for many years. It also
presents the separation spiral - a model of the process that is
followed when women executives voluntarily terminate their
employment contracts.

▼ Neural function depends on precise wiring of axon during development. Previous studies have demonstrated that the erythropoietin producing hepatocellular carcinoma (Eph) family of tyrosine receptor kinases is crucial for the proper development of a number of neural circuits in the mammalian central nervous system (CNS).
Mice lacking Eph receptors have been shown to exhibit deficits in pathways which include the thalamocortical, callosal, retinal and corticospinal tract. Due to the large number of Eph family members, the relative contribution of each receptor to axon pathfinding and neural function remains elusive. In this thesis, I have addressed the function of EphA4, EphB2 and EphB3 in the regulating the formation of interhemispheric projections within the forebrain and motor axon connections within the spinal cord using EphA4, EphB2 and EphB3and combinatorial null mice. To perform a detailed examination of the process of axon guidance regulated by these receptors within the forebrain, high resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), immunofluorescence and in vivo stereotactic fluorescent labeling were performed. This work resulted in the development and validation of MRI-based analytic tools performed using EphB2 mutants which we have previously shown to exhibit specific morphologic defects in the anterior commissure (AC). Analysis of EphA4 null mice using high resolution MRI revealed for the first time that in addition to errors of midline crossing, loss of EphA4 activity results in a positional reorganization of the rostral AC. Results demonstrate that while EphB2 and A4 each regulate distinct aspects of guidance within ACpp, these receptors also operate cooperatively to control the guidance of axons in the pars anterior of the AC, a pathway not been previously implicated in Eph-mediated guidance. With respect to the spinal cord, mice deficient in EphB2 and EphA4 display prominent axon guidance errors in the medial subsets of the lateral motor column (LMCm); neurons which normally innervate ventral limb musculature. Finally, I have addressed the functional effect which Eph mutants exhibit with respect to motor behavior by examining a detailed set of motor coordination parameters

▼ This case study aimed to gain a holistic
understanding of career
guidance as implemented in a university in
Guangdong province. The purpose of the research was to investigate
(a) the identifiable content and approaches used in career
guidance, (b) contextual factors inside and outside the university
that influence career
guidance, (c) how the people involved
perceive the effect of career
guidance on enhancing students'
career competencies, (d) problems in delivering and receiving
career
guidance, and (e) how career
guidance can be strengthened
and improved.
Qualitative data were collected between 2010 and
2012, using multiple methods including individual interviews, focus
groups, observations, and documentary study. A total of 13
individual interviews and 5 focus group sessions were completed.
The researcher collected information related to perceptions of
university students, graduates, administrators, career
practitioners, student tutors and teachers involved in the career
guidance service. Evidence was also obtained from curriculum
designs, reports, surveys, web pages, and documents produced by the
school, faculties and student association. The researcher also
conducted 17 participant and non-participant observations during
relevant career activities. The data analysis involved coding,
categorization, concept mapping, and theme generation. The themes
that emerged were triangulated using data from the various
sources.
The findings reveal that a system has been built to
provide career
guidance through three separate channels. The Career
Center is formally in charge of all career affairs; but currently
‘employment management’ is its main duty. Various career activities
(conducted by students) are provided by the Students' Career
Development Association (SCDA), which is supported by the Career
Center. Also, in each faculty, career
guidance related to specific
majors is implemented. Contextual factors that influence career
guidance can be summarized under four aspects: national policies
and university support; management systems; political tradition of
a centralization system; and various resources. The findings
suggest that career
guidance does enhance students’ career
competencies, particularly in areas of self-understanding,
career-related knowledge and skills, and in career-relevant
networking.
A variety of problems have existed in the university
in relation to career
guidance, including the lack of a
comprehensive service, insufficient resources, a lack of
credibility, uneven quality of career
guidance, and a lack of
professional training for the personnel involved. Many suggestions
have been put forward by students and teachers for strategies to
improve career
guidance. In particular, it is believed that the
Career Center, the faculties, and SCDA have to increase their
coordination and cooperation at all levels, by a better integration
of resources.
The data analyzed in this study provide a unique
picture of the implementation and content of career
guidance with
Chinese characteristics. In addition,…

▼ The increasing demand for high-density soil data, and the high labor cost associated with manual methods, have encouraged the development of autonomous alternatives. In this study, a mobile robot named ‘AgTracker’ was developed as a platform for an autonomous soil sampling machine. The robot, equipped with a low-accuracy GPS, a LIDAR scanner, an electronic compass visited human-defined locations through its auto-navigation system. This system also had a user-friendly interface, which enabled operators to set waypoints by clicking on Google Maps®. Locations could also be remotely monitored in real time through this interface. An Xbee wireless network was built to make the remote waypoints set up and monitoring possible.
The robot was tested on campus of University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. It could visit waypoints one by one successfully in most cases. The robot’s localization errors, which were the distances between its true visited locations and set waypoints, were evaluated. An average error within 0.2 m was achieved.

▼ A near-optimal feedback
guidance algorithm is applied to several different applications in the Circular-Restricted Three Body Problem and in proximity operations in LEO modeled by Keplerian motion. In both scenarios gravitational perturbations are introduced in order to assess the algorithm's robustness. Two forms of the
guidance algorithm are studied: a zero-effort miss/zero-effort velocity feedback control law and a zero-effort miss/zero-effort velocity feedback control law augmented with a sliding mode. Both
guidance laws have previously been applied to the problems of planetary landing, asteroid intercept, and close-proximity maneuvers near an asteroid. This study is motivated by the growing interest in spacecraft autonomy for proximity operations and in cases where a high frequency of open-loop commanded maneuvers is not practical. Results demonstrate that nominal zero-effort miss/zero-effort velocity feedback
guidance is suboptimal in all test cases, but performance can be improved through the addition of waypoints and tuning of
guidance law parameters. Additionally, the application of a sliding-mode is shown to overcome limitations introduced by gravitational perturbations in some instances.

▼ Dissertation submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master's Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, 2008.
The aim of this study was to investigate the factors affecting the career choice of selected health-care students (physiotherapy, chiropractic, medicine and occupational therapy) in KwaZulu Natal. Multiple reasons exist for choosing careers. However, the set of factors involved when students commit to at least 4 to 7 years of their lives to these alternative and mainstream health care professions are of particular interest to this study. This was a demographic-epidemiological, cross-sectional survey-type quantitative study, based on a pre-validated questionnaire which was administered to the participants. The questionnaire was distributed to 29 first year chiropractic students of the Durban University of Technology, 32 first year physiotherapy and 22 occupational therapy students of the University of KwaZulu Natal, and 55 first year medical students of the Nelson Mandela School of Medicine. The results revealed that parents were a major factor influencing career choice (68.1%), as were significant other people (42%). However, siblings, peers and television did not have a major influence. Only television had a differential influence on the student groups (p<0.001). The medical students (20%) were influenced by television to a greater extent than the other professions. The majority of respondents obtained information from professionals visiting schools (56.5%), while family and guidance counsellors were also important sources of information (52.2% and 50.7% respectively). These results also revealed that chiropractic students were more likely to use the Internet to find out about careers than the other student groups. Previous past experience with a professional from their chosen career field did have a relatively strong influence (46.4%) whereas physiotherapists and chiropractors were more likely than the other two groups to be influenced by a professional from that career.
V
Working with people was the most important personal factor influencing career choice. The altruistic factor of helping others was the second most important factor. The least important personal factors were prestige, variety, lifestyle and enjoyment of working with their hands. Another result indicated that the ability to define personal goals was important for medical students but it was not very important for occupational therapy students. The joy of working with their hands was more important for chiropractic and physiotherapy students. The motivation to help others was more important to occupational therapy students. Finally, the results showed that prestige was most important for chiropractic students. A good work atmosphere was the most important work-related factor (75.4%), followed by the ability to run their own office (64.5%) and working conditions (55.1%). Of least importance was the presence of blood (7.2%). “The ability to run your own office” was significantly different…

▼ In the
guidance literature, minimizing miss distance along with optimizing the energy usage had been an objective for several decades. In current day applications, additional terminal performance such as impact angle and impact time are of paramount importance. These terminal constraints increase warhead effectiveness and survivability of the interceptor. This thesis contributes to the design of
guidance laws addressing terminal constraints such as impact angle, impact time, and both impact time as well as impact angle, in addition to interception of targets.
In the first part of the thesis, the
guidance laws which ensure the alignment of the interceptor at a desired impact angle within a finite time is proposed using different variants of sliding mode control(SMC).The impact angle is first redefined in terms of line-of-sight angle and then the impact angle problem is converted to a simpler problem of controlling line-of-sight angle and their rates. The sliding mode capturability and interpretation of the
guidance laws are presented. In order to cater to very large heading angle errors, which give rise to negative closing speed initially, modifications to the
guidance laws are also suggested. The modifications to the
guidance laws for avoiding singularities, which may be encountered during implementation, due to the inherent nature of terminal SMC, are suggested. However, the
guidance laws, which alleviates the possibility of such singularities completely, are also designed by using non singular terminal SMC. The two loop
guidance and control, for a skid-to-turn cruciform interceptor in the pitch plane, is also proposed with an autopilot designed using the concept of dynamic SMC. The
guidance laws addressing impact angle constraint for three dimensional scenarios are also presented. Unlike the usual approach of decoupling the three dimensional engagement in to two mutually orthogonal planar engagements, the
guidance laws are derived using coupled engagement dynamics. These
guidance laws are designed using conventional and non singular terminal SMC and provide asymptotic and finite time alignment of the intercept or to the desired impact angles, respectively.
Next, the SMC based
guidance laws which ensure the interception of targets at pre-specified impact times is proposed in this thesis. The
guidance law is first designed for stationary targets and then extended to constant velocity targets using the notion of predicted interception point. A switching surface is designed using the concepts of collision course and time-to-go with non-linear engagement dynamics and its role in achieving the objectives is also discussed. In order to account for large heading angle errors and even for negative initial closing speeds, different methods of estimation of time-to-go, resulting in two different
guidance laws, are used. Unlike the existing
guidance laws, the proposed
guidance laws achieve an impact time even less than its initially estimated value. The flexibility in selecting a desired impact time is also exploited using…

▼ This study focused mainly on high school
guidance counselors’ development of career and technical education (CTE) students’ transition plans from secondary to postsecondary education. The Pre-college
Guidance and Counselor program developed by the National Association for College Admission Counseling (NACAC) was used to guide the development of the instrument, especially transition practices associated with postsecondary education. The School Counselor Postsecondary Education Survey (SCPES) for CTE students was developed. The population of the study was high school
guidance counselors in Georgia. According to a 2007 state roster list, the population contained 1,152 high school
guidance counselors. Through a simple random sampling (SRS), instruments were e-mailed to 576 participants or 50% of the original population. A total of 233 valid responses were returned providing a response rate of 40.45%.
The factors examined were (a) practice, (b) perception of practice, and (c) need for professional development. Reliability analysis was completed for the subscales of the
SCPES. Additional information compared each of the research questions by using ANOVA to test for differences between different groupings of respondents. The open-ended responses were analyzed by repeatedly reading the responses and grouping the responses into categories using phenomenological analysis techniques

▼ This dissertation describes several different spacecraft guidance algorithms, with applications including asteroid intercept and rendezvous, planetary landing, and orbital transfer. A comprehensive review of spacecraft guidance algorithms for asteroid intercept and rendezvous. Zero-Effort-Miss/Zero-Effort-Velocity (ZEM/ZEV) guidance is introduced and applied to asteroid intercept and rendezvous, and to a wealth of different example problems, including missile intercept, planetary landing, and orbital transfer. It is seen that the ZEM/ZEV guidance law can be used in many different scenarios, and that it provides near-optimal performance where an analytical optimal guidance law does not exist, such as in a non-linear gravity field.

▼ Skills development is a crucial issue in South Africa as the economy of the country will only grow if there are people with the right skills and expertise to run all sectors of the economy. This study examined the career choices of Black Grade twelve learners in order to determine whether at this level learners have broadened their career choices to include scarce areas such as, for example, Science, Mathematics and Economics Management Science. The choice of careers is an important sustainable development issue, because without relevant expertise the economy of the country will not improve. Secondly, the demise of apartheid opened up careers which were previously denied to Black people; it is for this reason that the researcher examined the career choices of Black Grade twelve learners in the Province of KwaZulu-Natal in the Republic of South Africa.
The study made use of questionnaires to establish what kind of career choices Black Grade twelve learners made and also to find out whether there was any difference between the careers chosen by girls and boys and also between rural and urban learners.
The study found that the general career choices of both males and females had changed by the time they reached Grade twelve, seen against career studies done at Primary school level (Mmema, 2010). In this study, some males currently chose careers that were previously only popular with females in grade seven, such as nursing, information technology, tourism, and computer sciences. Similarly, girls had begun to choose careers that were traditionally popular with the boys, such as mining, land surveying, doctor, civil engineering, prison warden, journalism, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering.
The strategy of the Department of Education in encouraging girls to participate in science projects seems to be working, even though it is at this stage concentrated at urban schools.
The study indicated that the Department of Education needed to put more effort into career
guidance in rural schools where the learners were not exposed to diverse career choices and information about technology. Learners in the urban areas seemed to be more familiar with career choices in general than the rural learners.
Very few males and females intended to choose any of the many apprenticeships available in the trades, with the result that foreign people often take up the trades after following an apprenticeship. This is one of the important factors that cause xenophobia. Many of the sectors of the economy in this country are experiencing crisis.
The result is that most of the economy of the country is controlled by people who have not chosen their professions with the necessary foresight and are therefore square pegs in round holes. This poses a serious challenge to the government and also to the Department of Education; they have to make learners more aware of the shortage of skills in the different sectors and prepare them to make wise career choices.
As a recommendation, it is suggested that the government put…

▼ The purpose of this project was to create a plan for the establishment of a financial counseling center on the campus of California State University, Long Beach. The center would serve students on the matters of personal financial counseling, money management education and financial information. College students are not well prepared or educated to manage the debt loads they are effortlessly acquiring. The most logical place to assist with financial education and money management skills is through a financial counseling and information resource center on campus. This project verifies and justifies the need for a financial counseling center at California State University, Long Beach. In order to establish such a center, recommendations for the location, operations, funding and marketing of such a center are also included.

▼ The purpose of this study was to explore the self-efficacy beliefs and attachment characteristics of school counselors and the relationship of these variables to school counseling program implementation. The population for this study consisted of elementary school counselors who agreed to have their email addresses included as part of a national school counselor association database. All data were obtained via self-report measures and were collected through an internet survey that was accessed through a link within recruitment emails. Instruments used in the survey include a demographic questionnaire developed by the researcher, the School Counselor Activity Rating Scale (SCARS; Scarborough, 2005), the School Counselor Self-Efficacy Scale (SCSE; Bodenhorn & Skaggs, 2005), and the Experiences in Close Relationships Scale-Short Form (ECR-Short Form; Wei et al., 2007). Correlation analyses were conducted to assess for a relationship between years of experience, ASCA National Model training and use, and delivery of school counseling services. Simple linear regressions were used to test the direct effects of self-efficacy and attachment on service delivery, and multiple regressions were used to test moderation effects of attachment in the relationship between self-efficacy and service delivery. The results suggested that school counselors with more years of experience and more ASCA National Model training and use, were more likely to be performing intervention activities (i.e. counseling, consultation, curriculum, and coordination). Supporting previous research, higher school counselor self-efficacy beliefs predicted higher levels of delivery of intervention activities that are consistent with the ASCA National Model. Specifically, self-efficacy beliefs most strongly predicted the coordination activities associated with program implementation. With regard to attachment characteristics, anxiety predicted the discrepancy between actual and preferred activities not considered within the scope of appropriate school counselor duties. Attachment anxiety but not avoidance predicted actual and preferred engagement in intervention activities. The results of the study did not support attachment anxiety and avoidance as a moderator in the relationship between self-efficacy and school counselor service delivery. This study adds to the current literature by replicating existing self-efficacy research and introduces school counselor attachment as a novel contribution to this research base.

▼ The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between research self-efficacy (as measured by the Research Self-Efficacy Scale [Greeley et al., 1989]), perceptions of the research training environment (as measured by the Research Training Environment Scale – Revised [Gelso et al., 1996]), and interest in research (as measured by the Interest in Research Questionnaire [Bieschke & Bishop, 1994]) within a national sample of doctoral counselor education students (N = 89). Additionally, the study investigated whether there were differences between levels of research self-efficacy, perceptions of the research training environment, and interest in research in relation to the demographic characteristics (i.e., age, gender, race/ethnicity, scholarly productivity, reported professional aspirations, and number of doctoral-level research courses completed) of counselor education doctoral students. An ex-post facto, cross-sectional design was implemented which included the following statistical analyses: Pearson's correlation coefficients (two-tailed), simultaneous multiple regression, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). Findings identified that the demographic variables of age and doctoral-level research courses completed had a statistically significant effect upon perceptions of the research training environment. In addition, results suggested that scholarly activity had a statistically significant effect on research self-efficacy scores. Finally, interest in research was positively correlated with research self-efficacy scores. In summary, the study addressed the present void in the counselor education literature with regard to counselor education doctoral students' development in the areas of research self-efficacy, perceptions of the research training environment, and interest in research. In order to contribute to the counselor education literature and support doctoral student development, it is crucial that counselor education doctoral training programs provide an effective research training environment to foster and encourage student research. Recognizing and appreciating the influence of counselor education doctoral students' research self-efficacy, perceptions of the research training environment, and interest in research may not only be important for students, but is also necessary for counselor education doctoral preparation programs to continue to develop and prepare students for academic positions and success. Study findings may provide beneficial information to assist colleges and universities to develop and tailor polices to encourage and foster research amongst their doctoral counselor education students.

▼ This study examined the self-rated development in cognitive complexity, autonomy, and self-other awareness of master's-level counselor trainees during the internship year. Participants were 70 internship students enrolled in four counseling programs in the Washington, DC metropolitan area. With the cooperation of internship instructors, the researcher collected data at one of the first class meetings in September, then obtained follow-up data seven months later at one of the final class meetings. Instruments used were the Learning Environment Preferences (LEP; Moore, 1987), the Self-Monitoring Scale (SMS; Snyder & Gangestad, 1986), and the Supervisee Levels Questionnaire-Revised (SLQ-R; McNeill, Stoltenberg, & Romans, 1992). Demographic data, including race/ethnicity and age, were also collected. It was hypothesized that cognitive complexity, self-other awareness, and autonomy would increase over the course of the year. To test this hypothesis, a repeated-measures MANOVA was performed with cognitive complexity, self-other awareness, and autonomy as the dependent variables. It was also hypothesized that cognitive complexity at the beginning of the year would predict self-other awareness and autonomy at the end of the year. Hierarchical regression analyses were conducted to test this hypothesis. Finally, it was hypothesized that there would be a significant correlation between self-monitoring and autonomy at the beginning of the year and a significantly weaker correlation at the end of the year. Results indicated partial support for these hypotheses. While self-other awareness and autonomy significantly increased over the course of the year, cognitive complexity did not. Cognitive complexity at Time 1 predicted self-other awareness at Time 2, but not autonomy. Finally, there was no significant relationship between self-monitoring and autonomy at Time 1. It was noted that there was a main effect for race/ethnicity on cognitive complexity, with White students scoring significantly higher than non-White students. Areas for future research are suggested, including further validation of cognitive complexity assessment instruments, obtaining ratings from supervisors and clients, and examining the possible moderating role of anxiety.

▼ Independent schools have long enjoyed a reputation for providing an exceptional education that combines academic rigor with exposure to the arts, athletics, and other extracurricular activities. Tower Hill School, an independent college preparatory school in Wilmington, DE, also commits in its mission to developing character – specifically integrity, mutual respect, and collective responsibility. “Multa Bene Facta”, or “Many Things Done Well”, is the School’s motto but it is difficult to ensure that all of the goals are done well. Through student surveys, faculty focus groups, and administrator interviews, this Executive Position Paper explores: (1) What does Tower Hill School currently do in support of its mission of character development and how effective are these initiatives? (2) What does a formal character education program look like and what are the best practices in the field? (3) What do THS community members want and need? (4) What will a formal character education program look like at THS and how will it be integrated securely into the community? The study determined that the upper school does not have a clear plan to enhance character development in their graduates. This study addresses the needs and desires within the Tower Hill School community, then suggests how to embed a character education program in the School culture.

This is an Autoethnographic Study of my Career Path and the Implications for Practice as a Guidance Counsellor. Using qualitative research methods I examine my own lived experience as a working mother, exploring such issues as self-efficacy, self-confidence, communication and role conflict. In autoethnography, the researcher is the focus of the analysis and to this end, I refer to the data from my personal journal.
This thesis is aimed at women, specifically working mothers, who may be dealing with role conflict. Exploring and sharing my own journey in this way has enabled me to address a number of issues regarding my career development. The Heuristic process was instrumental in bringing me to the point of enlightenment. I give some attention to the effect that tacit knowledge has had on my career development, in the hope that this will be of use to other women.
My review of the literature in the area of career development for women shows slow progress since the 1960’s. I look at the role of the Guidance counsellor in relation to women’s career development and identify a number of Guidance interventions including the Kaleidoscope Career Model and Systems Theory Framework. I make a number of recommendations including addressing attitudes in industry towards women’s career development.

The main aim for the current study is to investigate ‘how LGBTQI Guidance Counsellors navigate
their personal and professional identities in Irish second-level schools’. Schools have had a long and
uncomfortable relationship with LGBTQI identifications (Youdell 2005). LGBTQI professionals
report struggling with boundaries and managing their visibility within their profession (Einarsdottir,
Hoel & Lewis 2016; Rumens & Broomfield 2012). The concept of the ‘pastoral care’ role of a
regular teacher is a fundamental part of their professionalism (Teaching Council 2011; Best et al.,
1980). There is an extra pressure on Guidance Counsellors to provide not only vocational and
educational, but also emotional and personal support (Kidd 2006; Nathan & Hill 2006).
This research draws on qualitative research with three self-identified LGBTQI Irish Guidance
Counsellors along side a scoping review of empirical international literature of LGBTQI teachers
and Guidance Counsellors/Psychotherapists experiences. Findings suggested three main themes that
were evident across the scoping review and interviews with three Irish Guidance Counsellors;
heteronormativity and its Restrictions for LGBTQI Teachers and Guidance Counsellors, coming out
and its implications, and being a role model. This study argues that the complexities that Irish
LGBTQI Guidance Counsellors face in managing their personal and professional identities have an
effect on the students that they see on a one-to-one basis and also on their view of professionalism.

▼ The present study addresses the problems experienced by South African youth in making effective, informed career decisions. The goal of this study was to determine the effect of a career intervention programme on the career maturity and academic motivation of Grade 11 learners at Alphendale High School. Furthermore, the relationship between career maturity and academic motivation was explored. Using a pre-post test quasiexperimental design it could be demonstrated that different dimensions of the learners’ career maturity and their academic motivation improved subsequent to the career intervention programme and therefore underscored the value of a career intervention programme.

▼ The purpose of this study was to determine factors that impacted on engineering professionals’ decision to seek alternative employment, as well as to determine the decision making processes applied by engineering professionals when seeking alternative employment. A conceptual model was developed to illustrate the impact of various factors on labour turnover and the decision making processes that could be followed by engineering professionals when seeking alternative employment. The factors impacting on labour turnover were organised into four categories, namely external, internal, expectations and personal trait factors. The theoretical study revealed that employees were more likely to leave their present organisations if they perceived that there was ample opportunity for acceptable alternative employment (Bigliardi, Petroni & Dormio, 2005). Zimmerman (2008) stated that employee turnover was a problem faced by all organisations globally. In their study they mentioned that high labour turnover rates have been associated with decreased customer satisfaction, productivity, future revenue growth and profitability. A sense of instability and frustration can also cause work backlogs and slow productivity. At times employees lose faith in their organisations as more individuals seek alternative employment (Drake International, 2010). When the organisation experiences high turnover, burnout also increases and could possibly lead to stayers also seeking alternative employment. Previous studies contain evidence of an extensive poaching of South African engineering professionals (technologists and engineers) by overseas companies (Du Toit & Roodt, 2009). As a result of this mobility and the lack of significant engineering graduates entering the industry, companies competed for a limited number of engineering professionals. This challenge resulted in a higher labour turnover rate among engineers as the demand for engineering professionals was higher than the supply. The skills shortage of engineering professionals in South Africa was one of the perceived contributing factors impacting engineering professionals’ decision to seek alternative employment. Apart from the shortage of skills there were other factors that impacted on engineering professionals’ decision to seek alternative employment. External factors, such as slow recruitment due to the low economy, have been identified as having an impact on labour turnover rates. Bigliardi et al (2005) stated that external factors, also referred to as push factors, such as changes in economic, social and technological conditions,created challenges for retaining engineering professionals. Through developing multivariate models that combine a number of factors contributing to labour turnover and empirically testing these models, researchers have attempted to predict why individuals decide to seek alternative employment (MINTRAC, 2010). The job search process was evaluated and referred to as the process of looking for alternatives to a current job, and the evaluation of those…

▼ This thesis investigates new convex optimisation techniques for motion and pose estimation. Numerous computer vision problems can be formulated as optimisation problems. These optimisation problems are generally solved via linear techniques using the singular value decomposition or iterative methods under an L2 norm minimisation. Linear techniques have the advantage of offering a closed-form solution that is simple to implement. The quantity being minimised is, however, not geometrically or statistically meaningful. Conversely, L2 algorithms rely on iterative estimation, where a cost function is minimised using algorithms such as Levenberg-Marquardt, Gauss-Newton, gradient descent or conjugate gradient. The cost functions involved are geometrically interpretable and can statistically be optimal under an assumption of Gaussian noise. However, in addition to their sensitivity to initial conditions, these algorithms are often slow and bear a high probability of getting trapped in a local minimum or producing infeasible solutions, even for small noise levels.
In light of the above, in this thesis we focus on developing new techniques for finding solutions via a convex optimisation framework that are globally optimal. Presently convex optimisation techniques in motion estimation have revealed enormous advantages. Indeed, convex optimisation ensures getting a global minimum, and the cost function is geometrically meaningful.
Moreover, robust optimisation is a recent approach for optimisation under uncertain data. In recent years the need to cope with uncertain data has become especially acute, particularly where real-world applications are concerned. In such circumstances, robust optimisation aims to recover an optimal solution whose feasibility must be guaranteed for any realisation of the uncertain data. Although many researchers avoid uncertainty due to the added complexity in constructing a robust
optimisation model and to lack of knowledge as to the nature of these uncertainties, and especially their propagation, in this thesis robust convex optimisation, while estimating the uncertainties at every step is investigated for the motion estimation problem.
First, a solution using convex optimisation coupled to the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm and the robust H filter is developed for motion estimation. In another solution, uncertainties and their propagation are incorporated in a robust L convex optimisation framework for monocular visual motion estimation. In this solution, robust least squares is combined with a second order cone program (SOCP). A technique to improve the accuracy and the robustness of the fundamental matrix is also investigated in this thesis. This technique uses the covariance intersection approach to fuse feature location uncertainties, which leads to more consistent motion estimates.
Loop-closure detection is crucial in improving the robustness of navigation algorithms. In practice, after long navigation in an unknown environment, detecting that a vehicle is in a location it has…
