This study therefore set out to find out the consequence of the current systemic legislation being applied in the management of work integrated learning, the role played by the systemic legislation in the implementation of work integrated learning and if there is need to institute a systemic legislation.......

Abstract: How to enable the articulation of epistemological models at hierarchical levels of integration that represent the complex phenomenological system of the health-disease process? To explore this question, the study was conducted with the purpose of analytically reconstructing the natural and social history of the health-disease process. From the methodological scope of philosophical hermeneutics, documentary sources were analyzed to develop the destructive moment and continue with the construction of the understanding horizon of the historical evolution of the theoretical models of the medical sciences. In the development of the study the stages of the natural history of the disease are described from the model proposed by Leavell and Clark. It emphasizes the conceptualization of the relationships between agent, host and environment that determine the appearance and resolution of the......
