Everyone has the right to education. The main objective of any education system in a democratic society is to provide quality education for all learners so that they will be able to reach their full potential and contribute meaningfully to and participate in that society throughout their lives. With the publication of the Education White Paper 6 in 2001, South Africa proclaimed its policy of inclusive education; however this policy is not always clearly understood by educators. Addressing barriers to learning provides relevant and in-depth knowledge to better prepare educators to teach all the learners in their class groups. Addressing barriers to learning covers the complete continuum of learners as reflected in the Education White Paper 6, and includes the most vulnerable of them: those who are economically and educationally disadvantaged, those with physical, sensory, intellectual, and/or learning impairment as well as those displaying challenging behaviour who are at risk of exclusion. Case studies offer practical examples and activities provide hands-on experience regarding classroom practice and management, collaboration with all role players and mobilisation of community involvement, which is at the heart of true inclusion. Addressing barriers to learning is aimed at both prospective and current educators.

Data for Nurses: Understanding and Using Data to Optimize Care Delivery in Hospitals and Health Systems provides information for nurses on how to work with data to effectively evaluate and improve care delivery for patients. Quality, benchmarking, and research data are increasingly used to guide care in hospitals and health systems, and nurses are expected to actively use this information to identify interventions to optimize outcomes and meet reporting and financial targets. However, not all nurses receive formal training on data utilization, making interpretation and application of the different types of data difficult. This book provides information on topics such as benchmarking and reportable indicators, financial metrics, quality improvement, research, and implementation science, with applications to nursing practice. Important information on protective measures to guarantee integrity and security of personal patient data is also included. The book is a valuable resource for nurses and other healthcare professionals who require a basic understanding of key principles of data utilization in order to increase engagement in evidence-based practices, quality improvement, and mandatory reporting of key indices.

The law of Expropriation has been changed by the Constitution in important respects, including the circumstances in which Expropriation may be used for land reform, and the measure of compensation. It will feature prominently in South Africa's land reform programme, and is considered in the first eight chapters of the book. Three chapters are devoted to the acquisition of rights by labour tenants under the Land Reform (Labour Tenants) Act. The restitution of land rights, under the Restitution of Land Rights Act, to people deprived of, or prevented from owning land, by racially discriminatory laws or practices after 1913, is given detailed analysis. Acquisition of rights by ways of necessity and prescription are each dealt with in separate chapters.

Nursing care professionals are an essential part of the medical profession, known for their care and the assistance that they offer to patients. However, nurses must also tackle the challenges of the modern workplace, including the utilization of new technologies, gender inequity, negative workplace environments including navigating exclusionary behaviors such as incivility and bullying and relieving stress and burnout. As such, it is crucial for nurses, nurse managers, and other medical professionals to remain up to date with the latest education and training techniques and discussions surrounding the significant challenges that nurses face. The Research Anthology on Nursing Education and Overcoming Challenges in the Workplace is a comprehensive reference book that compiles numerous chapters on the latest training and educational strategies for nurses and discusses challenges facing this branch of the medical field. The anthology presents challenges common within the medical field and techniques used to solve or prevent them as well as nurse perspectives on new medical technologies and their perceived use and performance. Covering topics such as e-training, ethics, patient safety, burnout, incivility, and more, this text provides essential information for nurses, teachers, care professionals, hospital staff, managers, practitioners, medical professionals, nursing home and care facilities, academicians, researchers, and students.
