The concern I want to raise in this chapter is related to the relationship between indigenous identities, knowledge systems and indigenous values and world views compared to world views found in South Africa’s new curricula after new dispensation. What are the values the indigenous pupils meet at home? Do they concur with those of the new curricula after 1994? The rationale for this focus is related to the question of whether the South African primary school is ‘their school’, i.e the school for the majority of South African children in terms of culture and knowledge....

The only impact evaluations the IDB has are beneficiary evaluations; that is, the IDB asks the beneficiaries in the communities how they evalu- ate what they received: Was it working correctly? Did they like it? Was the choice an adequate one? Was the project sustainable? The IDB study summarized about 800 project visits in various countries in which this sort of beneficiary evaluation was done, and in general, the beneficiary evaluations are quite positive. School projects have the highest evalua- tions even if a few schools that were built are not operating.

The expansion of agriculture to open access forest lands is a major environmental consequence of poverty, food insecurity, and landlessness in many countries, notably in the tropics. Although nominally managed by the state, forests made accessible by the construction of roads become de facto “open access” in the wake of logging operations by private concessionaires, who often fail to comply with their obligations to manage the forest sustainably after harvest.

Research on forecasting is extensive and includes many studies that have tested alternative methods in order to determine which ones are most effective. We review this evidence in order to provide guidelines for forecasting for marketing. The coverage includes intentions, Delphi, role playing, conjoint analysis, judgmental bootstrapping, analogies, extrapolation, rule-based forecasting, expert systems, and econometric methods. We discuss research about which methods are most appropriate to forecast market size, actions of decision makers, market share, sales, and financial outcomes.

The first part, the design of an ADAS system started with the investigation of user and stakeholder requirements. It was  found that drivers accept ADAS systems, as long as they keep a certain amount of control. To comply to these  requirements, the system uses so called system states. Every system state offers a certain amount of control, leaving the  choice with the driver.  To define which drive tasks were to be supported, a system analysis of current ADAS systems has been made.

An appropriate level and quality of infrastructure is an important contributor to economic growth. Robust, internationally consistent data on infrastructure quality are diffi cult to obtain. Whenever possible, objective data have been used but this section still relies on some international surveys of business perceptions of infrastructure quality, which need to be interpreted with caution. New Zealand is perceived as having lower-quality infrastructure than the OECD mean.

There is evidence from clinical and epidemiological studies of a relationship between heavy drinking and certain clinical presentations (injuries, physical and psychiatric illnesses, frequent sickness absence) and social problems (see Annex 2). There are some signs at physical examination recognised by experts as linked to heavy drinking, such as injuries (including in the elderly), tremor of the hands and tongue, and excessive capillarisation of the facial skin and conjunctivae.16,17 The exact association between these signs and actual heavy drinking has not been thoroughly investigated.
