Nurses are faced with questions related to professional practice and what they may or may not do on a daily basis. Nurses also need to deal with the many conflicting demands made by patients, colleagues and hospital management. The 'new approach' adopted in this book offers insight into the dilemmas faced by the 21st century nurse. The professional practice issues are addressed in the form of case studies, using real-life examples that put the problems into context. This approach also offers a broad view of the nursing profession, taking into account macro-environmental influences, as well as the new technologies impacting on the profession. A New Approach to Professional Practice explains the legal, professional and ethical framework within which the nurse must practise. The text also touches on the professional heritage and explains the rights of the patient and the rights and responsibilities of the nurse. Subjects such as modern-day challenges, legal and ethical questions, accountability, duty to care, responsibility, and maintenance of standards are also addressed.
Written as a companion to Kleyn & Viljoen's Beginner's Guide for Law Students, this exciting new work takes students through the range of skills they will require throughout their studies and in practice.

Throughout, the authors use clear, simple language while never compromising on standards and accuracy.

The meaning of a DNA match is explained, as well as aspects of population genetics, statistical calculations and DNA databases.
Die liefde, natuur en digterskap is die oorwegende temas van die bundel en elk word vanuit ’n wye spektrum perspektiewe bekyk. Herman de Coninck se werk spreek van innoverende beeldspraak, totaal gestroop van pretensie – en Daniel Hugo slaag daarin om in sy vertalings die unieke karakter van De Coninck se werk te behou. Herman de Coninck het die Afrikaanse en Suid-Afrikaanse leser se verbeelding aangegryp met Liefde, Miskien (vertaal deur Daniel Hugo) in 1998. Die lenige liefde, ’n bloemlesing uit al De Coninck se werke, sal weereens die leser betower. Meer toeganklike poesie kom ’n mens nie aldag tee nie. De Coninck se werk spreek van innoverende beeldspraak waarvan die gebrek aan pretensie die leser maak lees, luister en onthou.
This book explains the health and safety measures that employers are required to implement in the workplace to protect their employees and the public against COVID-19. It contains several checklists that systematically work through and simplify the applicable Directions issued by the Minister of Employment and Labour.

They place a legal responsibility on employers to take further measures to safeguard employees and the public against COVID-19. Penalties can be imposed on employers who fail to comply with the Directions (in terms of the Occupational Health and Safety Act).

There are a number of misconceptions about marketing. Many assume that it focuses on simply communicating the product or service the organisation offers through activities like advertising. Marketing is far more complex than this. It is a vital activity for the success of any organisation. How do consumers become aware of products and services? How do they know which product or service is right for them? How do organisations know which products and services their consumers would like to buy? The answer is through the organisation's marketing efforts. This means that if the marketing activity is not included at the beginning of the process, the organisation may end up developing a product or service and communicating about it in a way that does not resonate with its target audience. This will have a serious impact on the organisation's success. The marketing world is continuously changing and Introduction to marketing addresses these changes by discussing core concepts like understanding the environment that the organisation operates in, analysing their competition, understanding how consumers make decisions, conducting marketing research, applying segmentation, targeting and positioning, the process of developing and making decisions around products, managing services, marketing channels, retailing, pricing, promotions, branding, integrating communication efforts, business-to-business marketing, marketing metrics, international marketing and ethical considerations. These topics are fundamental to any marketing professional or academic. The second edition of this textbook provides updated discussions, examples and scenarios that marketers are currently facing.
The focus of this volume of Acta Juridica - Foreign Direct Investment and the Law: Perspectives from Selected African Countries - is the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and the law, within the context of FDI in Africa and the role of the Agreement establishing the African Continental Free Trade Area (AfCFTA). The book is a compilation of essays by authors who are specialists from across the spectrum of the law, bringing together their diverse contributions under the banner of foreign direct investment. More specifically, the authors consider the law and foreign direct investment from an African perspective, both regionally and country-specific, in the context of bilateral investment treaties, property law, the legal integration of business law, the role of investment and regulatory policies, dispute resolution, tax incentives and labour regulation.
Clear, accessible and jargon-free, BBC French Grammar is the ideal complement to any French language course.
Private Law in a Changing World honours the work of Professor Danie Visser and celebrates his return to research after almost a decade as Deputy Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cape Town. It considers the ways in which the law of obligations has evolved in response to external forces in both the recent and remote past – or, to switch perspectives, the high degree of internal coherence and continuity which it has maintained over time despite the operation of such forces. Leading scholars of legal history and private law from six jurisdictions consider topics drawn from across the law of contract, delict/tort and unjust/unjustified enrichment. Their insights shed light on contemporary debates around the world regarding the value of doctrinal scholarship, and on the debates regarding the decolonisation of private law currently unfolding in South Africa.

Practical advice on all stages of arbitration, from the pre-arbitration stage to the issuing of the award are covered as well as the basic legal principles concerning disputes over alleged unfair dismissal, the basics of the law of evidence and how to prepare for and present a case at arbitration. In addition to this there are sections on the pitfalls of the law of evidence, applications for condonation and reviews – these often being the very issues on which the Labour Court so often sees applicants in review applications being tripped up. Furthermore, a discussion on unfair labour practice arbitrations has been included. No labour law practitioner or trade union representative should be without this book.

This new work promotes a proper understanding of Roman legal development and is an essential study guide for students of Roman law.
The new Southern African edition of this popular introductory textbook offers students a practical and accessible framework for developing their intercultural communication skills. It provides a global perspective on intercultural communication while allowing students to contextualize their knowledge with relevant examples, applications and perspectives. Recognizing that students in Southern Africa come from diverse cultural, ethnic and linguistic backgrounds, Experiencing Intercultural Communication provides discussion of issues and perspectives they can apply to everyday life and to broader contexts. For instance, the book looks at the challenges posed by numerous native languages in schools and healthcare settings; it explores the opportunities for and barriers to building intercultural relationships in post-Apartheid South Africa; and it considers the impact of globalization and the communication of Western paradigms of modernization and development.
Governance & Leadership offers a roadmap to better governance – not just in terms of individual leaders but also by suggesting solutions to encourage a fertile and sustainable culture of worldclass leadership. The world is currently experiencing a crisis in leadership – reflected in widespread public distrust and criticism, due to growing incidents of poor leadership and bad decision-making. This is no different for South Africa. The Auditor Report has highlighted the need to strengthen leadership and governance capacities of most of the local government administrations by appointing qualified professionals and bridging the current skills gap. All this points to a serious need for not only formal education but also training, experience and, above all, inspiration in leadership across the nation, the continent and the world. Governance & Leadership addresses this urgent need directly – and with a particular focus on the human aspects. Every success or failure can ultimately be traced to human attitudes and behaviours. Leaders’ values, and their ability to make good decisions, communicate well and work together, can make all the difference between failure and success.
