Thiel, Alena. "Heterotemporal convergences : travelling significations of order and their adaptations in the claims-making strategies of Accra's Makola market traders." Thesis, University of Aberdeen, 2015. http://digitool.abdn.ac.uk:80/webclient/DeliveryManager?pid=228600.
Full textAbstract:
Studies on market trader activism in Africa routinely approach traders' claims-making practices from the perspective of the state's regime of signifying order, in relation to which opposition simply seeks to render itself “legible” (Scott 1998). In contrast, this dissertation contends that one must pay close attention to the multiple significations of order and disorder that exist in any social situation and which, through their continuous permeation, fuel transformations of normative plausibilities and, by extension, of the grounds for claims. With a grounding in the theory of the social and political quality of time, I show how the idea of coeval temporalities sensitises observers to the multiple sources of significations of order and disorder – particularly, with regard to subjects' relation to authority – and their creative adaptation in the moment of temporal convergence. The central marketplace of Accra, the capital of Ghana, provides the context for this study. My empirical analysis of this social arena that is closely connected to global flows of people, capital, consumer items and, inevitably, ideas, including those related to order and associated grounds of entitlement adds to the underappreciated theoretical strand the actor-centred process of translation that engenders creative adaptations between converging coeval temporalities.

AnthropologyPh.D.
Women have legendary roles as traders who financially dominate the sale of various market goods in West Africa. Head porters are young women from Ghana's rural northern region who work as human transporters in the various markets in urban areas throughout the country. Kayayei (female head porters) who work at these famed markets are the focus of this dissertation. The north of Ghana is the agricultural breadbasket of the country, with strong Islamic influences that thrive in dispersed, mostly rural ethnic enclaves. This contrasts sharply with the service manufacturing and trade economies that mark Christian influenced southern Ghana. As young women migrants arrive in Accra, this dissertation focuses on narratives of head porters as they confront the multi-ethnic, hierarchical social climates of the city, particularly Accra's largest shopping venue, Makola Market. This dissertation uses theories in phenomenology, informed by feminist anthropology, to consider the political economy of Ghana in order to examine how head porter's lives are grounded with the development history and the spread of capitalism in the nation-state. Throughout this dissertation, attention is given to the widespread informalization of the economy in the nation-state and the role of head porters in these processes. Using a methodology of collaborative photography with kayayei, this dissertation examines the politics of visibility and analyzes the kinds of skills these women develop in order to survive and negotiate the socio-economic hierarchies of urban space. By situating the theoretical and methodological concerns of this research within the social realities of rural-urban migrants, this dissertation explores migration as a sensibility that acts upon various social terrains at markets in Accra, Ghana.

Full textAbstract:
West Africa was in the grips of an Ebola Virus Disease outbreak, caused by the emerging Makona variant of Ebola virus. High resolution molecular methods including transcriptomics and proteomics were utilised to profile the host response to the emergent Makona variant from West Africa, and compare this response with that induced by infection with other ebolaviruses, in order to identify host factors potentially important in host pathology. A comparison between Makona and other well characterised variants of Ebola virus showed that induced differences in the host response were not significant (Chapter 3) and that the transcriptomic changes were very similar to previously characterised isolates. To evaluate the importance of interferon to the lifecycle of the Makona variant, in vitro comparisons with Reston virus were performed to highlight important changes in the antiviral state of multiple cell lines during infection, this showed an effective interferon response was not a major determinant of successful ebolavirus infection (Chapter 4). The pro-inflammatory response to the Makona variant and Reston virus were compared in a relevant inflammatory cell type (Chapter 5). Analysis indicated that a highly active NFκB response may be required for efficient virus replication, indicating a potent inflammatory response is essential for the virus lifecycle (Chapter 6). The Makona variant of Ebola virus was hypothesised to induce distinctive transcriptional and proteomic changes in infected cells. In this thesis, evidence is presented that infection with the Makona variant does not induce significantly different patterns of host response from that observed in other ebolaviruses, and presents the first longitudinal transcriptomic analysis of patient infected with the Ebola virus, Makona variant. Furthermore, this study has revealed the critical role of NFκB in the lifecycle of the ebolaviruses.

Esta tese visa estabelecer os fundamentos da teoria makuna do mundo, e nesse sentido, delineia os princípios epistemológicos dos Makuna ou Ide masã (Gente de Água), um grupo tukano oriental da Amazônia colombiana. Analisando os conceitos he (jurupari) e ketioka (“Pensamento”), ambos conceitos centrais dentro desta epistemologia, identificam-se os principais elementos ou componentes que conformam tanto aos seres não humanos quanto aos seres humanos, demonstrando a importância dos lugares, ou melhor, de uma geografia xamânica, na constituição de todos os seres do universo. Ao tempo que esta argumentação serve para reformular conceitualmente as unidades sociais dos grupos indígenas desta região, também evidencia que as noções de espaço e pessoa são interdependentes e podem ser trabalhadas em conjunto para atingir níveis de compreensão mais profundos de algumas sociedades indígenas da Amazônia. _______________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT
This thesis aims to set up the foundations of Makuna world theory, and in this way, outlines the epistemological principles of Makuna or Ide masã (Water People), a eastern tukanoan group from Colombian Amazon. Analyzing the concepts he (jurupari) and ketioka ("Thought"), both core concepts within this epistemology, it is possible to identify the main elements or components that conform both human beings as not humans, demonstrating the importance of places, or better , of a shamanic geography, to the constitution of all beings in the universe. At the same time this argument serves to conceptually redefining the social units of the indigenous groups in this region, also shows that the notions of space and person are interdependent and can be worked together to achieve deeper levels of understanding of some Amazonian indigenous societies.

Full textAbstract:
Bibliography: leaves 136-141.This is an exploratory study using a qualitative approach. This study attempts to explore the nature of makgotla found in the rural community of Ramokgopa. It examines the structure and operation, nature of services rendered, successes, areas of concern as well as the role of makgotla played in community development. The primary objective was to assess the viability of makgotla as a vehicle for development in rural communities. Data was collected via in-depth interviews, and using a community-forum approach. Eleven headmen/key members and five consumers of services were selected for interviewing. Two community meetings were also held for the same purpose. The study found that makgotla have taken initiatives and efforts to develop their own community. This is in spite of the fact that there are areas of concern like gender sensitivity that need to be addressed. The study concludes with some recommendations, one of them being that local government officials be made aware of the presence of makgotla and how best to engage in a dialogue which will reap benefits for the community.

Cilj ovog istraživanja je bio da se utvrdi da li postoji razlika u debljini makule kod pacijenata sa glaukomom otvorenog ugla (POAG) u odnosu na zdravu populaciju i u zavisnosti od stepena progresije bolesti, kao i da se utvrdi da li postoji povezanost između promene debljine makule i stepena oštećenja vidnog polja i debljine peripapilarnog sloja nervnih vlakana u zavisnosti od stepena progresije bolesti. Materijal i metode: U ovu kliničku prospektivnu studiju je uključeno 186 pacijenata. Na osnovu kliničkog nalaza formirane su tri grupe. Prva grupa (kontrolna – grupa zdravih): 68 pacijenata bez očnih oboljenja, sa najboljom korigovanom vidnom oštrinom ≥ 0.9, intraokularnim pritiskom (IOP) ≤ 21 mmHg, normalnim odnosom ekskavacije i površine glave vidnog živca i normalnim nalazom vidnog polja. Druga grupa (rani glaukom): 78 pacijenata sa klinički dijagnostikovanim primarnim glaukomom otvorenog ugla (sa karakterističnim oštećenjem glave vidnog živca i sloja nervnih vlakana retine i kod kojih je srednja vrednost devijacije standardne automatske perimetrije MD > -6 dB, prema Hodap klasifikaciji), bez drugih očnih ili sistemskih oboljenja, koja bi imala uticaj na nastanak glaukoma i sa najboljom korigovanom vidnom oštrinom ≥ 0.5. Treća grupa (glaukom srednjeg stepena): 40 pacijenata sa klinički dijagnostikovanim primarnim glaukomom otvorenog ugla (sa karakterističnim oštećenjem glave vidnog živca i sloja nervnih vlakana retine i kod kojih je srednja vrednost devijacije standardne automatske perimetrije -6 dB > MD > -12 dB, prema Hodap klasifikaciji), bez drugih očnih ili sistemskih oboljenja, koja bi imala uticaj na nastanak glaukoma i sa najboljom korigovanom vidnom oštrinom ≥ 0.5. Svim pacijentima je bio urađen kompletan oftalmološki pregled, kompjuterizovano vidno polje (Humphrey Field Analyzer, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany, SITA Standard, test C 24-2) i optička koherentna tomografija sloja nervnih vlakana peripapilarno i u predelu makule (SOCT Copernicus HR, Optopol Tech. SA, Zawiercie, Poland). Rezultati: Perifovea i parafovea, pokazuju statistički značajno smanjenje debljine i zapremine sloja nervnih vlakana u odnosu na stepen progresije glaukoma otvorenog ugla, pri čemu je ono naglašenije u perifovei (p<0,05). U svim segmentima makule (TPeriF, IPeriF, SPeriF, NPeriF, TParaF, SParaF, IParaF i NParaF) dolazi do smanjenja debljine i zapremine sloja nervnih vlakana sa progresijom bolesti (p<0,05). Segmenti makule TPeriF, IPeriF, a potom i SPeriF, prema navedenom redosledu, predstavljaju segmente sa najvećim potencijalom za predikciju ranih glaukomskih oštećenja s obzirom na uočeno najveće smanjenje debljine i zapremine nervnih vlakana (p<0,05). Segmenti makule SParaF i NParaF predstavljaju segmente sa najvećim potencijalom za predikciju napredovanja glaukomskih oštećenja srednjeg stepena s obzirom na uočeno najveće smanjenje debljine i zapremine nervnih vlakana (p<0,05). Debljina RNFL glave vidnog živca se statistički značajno smanjuje sa progresijom bolesti u svim posmatranim segmentima (p<0,05). Međusobni odnos između grupe zdravih i grupe pacijenata sa ranim glaukomom ukazuje da je statistički značajno smanjenje debljine RNFL prisutno u svim segmentima osim u segmentima P3 i P4 (p>0,05). Merenja debljine RNFL u segmentu P6 imaju najbolji potencijal za predikciju ranog glaukoma s obzirom na najizraženije smanjenje debljine nervnih vlakana upravo u ovom segmentu (p<0,05). Merenja debljine RNFL u segmentu P1 ima najbolji potencijal za predikciju dalje progresije bolesti. Debljina sloja nervnih vlakana makule srazmerna je smanjenju debljine RNFL na glavi vidnog živca, pri čemu je ona uočljivija na nivou segmenata koji su okarakterisani kao dobri prediktori za nastanak, odnosno progresiju bolesti (P6 sa IPeriF i TPeriF, odnosno P1 sa SPeriF), što dodatno naglašava njihovu važnost u dijagnostici glaukoma otvorenog ugla. Debljina makule kod pacijenata sa glaukomom otvorenog ugla je opisana umerenom do dobrom povezanošću sa stepenom oštećenja vidnog polja, pri čemu je ona najjača kod TPeriF, IPeriF i SPeriF segmenata i srazmerna je stepenu oštećenja vidnog polja. Koeficijenti korelacije između vrednosti srednje devijacije vidnog polja i debljine RNFL, odnosno sloja nervnih vlakana makule, pokazuju snažniju povezanost u odnosu na parametre dobijenog smanjenja debljine nervnih vlakana u makuli, što otvara mogućnost za dalja istraživanja. Segmenti glave vidnog živca i makule, koji su pokazali najbolju diskriminaciju u smislu predikcije nastanka POAGa, kao i oni koji sugerišu na njegovu progresiju, smešteni su na lokacijama koje su međusobno povezane opisanim prirodnim tokom nervnih vlakana. Zaključak: Optička koherentna tomografija makule je važna pomoćna metoda u dijagnostici glaukoma kojom je moguće izdvojiti pacijente sa ranim glaukomom u odnosu na zdravu populaciju, odnosno utvrditi progresiju glaukoma otvorenog ugla.All patients underwent complete ophthalmologic examination, SAP (Humphrey Field Analyzer, Carl Zeiss Meditec, Jena, Germany, SITA Standard, test C 24-2) and optical coherent tomography scans of RNFL and macula (SOCT Copernicus HR, Optopol Tech. SA, Zawiercie, Poland). Results: Perifoveal and parafoveal nerve fiber layer have shown significant reduction of thickness and volume compared to stage of POAG progression, where perifovea showed higher significance (p<0,05). All macular segments (TPeriF, IPeriF, SPeriF, NPeriF, TParaF, SParaF, IParaF i NParaF) showed reduction in thickness and volume compared to disease progression (p<0,05). Macular segments TPeriF, IPeriF, as well as SPeriF, represent segments with highest potential to predict early glaucomatous damage according to the most significant reduction of nerve fiber layer thickness and volume (p<0,05). Macular segments SParaF and NParaF represent segments with highest potential to predict progression of POAG according to the most significant reduction of nerve fiber layer thickness and volume (p<0,05). Optic nerve head (ONH) RNFL thickness showed reduction compared to POAG progression in all segments (p<0,05). All ONH segments except P3 and P4 showed significant reduction of RNFL comparing control group to early glaucoma group patients (p>0,05). ONH segment P6 was found to be the highly specific for early glaucoma prediction according to the most significant reduction of RNFL thickness (p<0,05), while segment P1 was found to have highest potential for POAG progression. Macular nerve fiber layer thickness reduction follows ONH RNFL thickness reduction and there is mutual relation between both macular and ONH segments (P6 to IPeriF and TPeriF, P1 to SPeriF) with highest specificity for early defects and POAG progression. It was shown that macular thickness changes have moderate to good correlation with visual filed changes and it was highest in TPeriF, IPeriF and SPeriF segments. This correlation was found to be higher in macula then in ONH RNFL thickness changes, compared to visual field changes. Both macular and ONH RNFL segments, which were found to have highest specificity to POAG prediction and progression, are located in areas which mutually connect following natural course of nerve fiber layer between them. Conclusion: Optical coherence tomography of macula represents important ancillary method in POAG diagnosis and follow up, allowing to differentiate between early glaucoma patients and healthy individuals, as well as to determine progression of glaucomatous disease.

Amongst other socio-economic challenges that South Africa has, unemployment still remains high; in July 2010 unemployment was at 25.3 percentage and in July 2011 it was at 25.7 percentage ; in a space of a year it grew by 0.4 percentage (Trading Economics, 2012). Even though South Africa has made some significant progress with its democracy; there is still significant socioeconomic problems. Poverty, lack of economic empowerment among the disadvantaged groups are amongst and lack of proper education are amongst some of these pressing challenges in South Africa. More than a quarter of South Africa's population currently receives social grants (Index mundi, 2011). The Eastern Cape Province is still faced with significant socio-economic challenges such as high unemployment rate. 74 percentage unemployed are the economically active group as they are under the age of 35 (ECDC, 2011:22). “More than a quarter (26.4 percentage) of households in the Eastern Cape relies on government grants as their main source of income. Nationally, the youth unemployment rate is estimated to be close to 35 percentage, with more than three million young people out of work. Youth unemployment in the Eastern Cape averages 41.4 percentage. This is more than twice the adult unemployment rate (18.4 percent). A total of 695,175 young people have been without work every year in the Eastern” (ECDC, 2010-2011: 23). Besides, this province has a third largest number of people who are living with HIV/AIDS in the country. These statistics have a major significance on the province’s economic prospects and progress (ECDC, 2010-2011:22). The RSA Constitution 1996, the White Paper on Local Government 1998 has mandated local governments to facilitate LED. South Africa adopted LED as a way of fighting poverty and stimulating economic growth and development for local residents. LED is promoting skills development, SMMEs and tourism to encourage economic development. However the success of LED has received mixed views in that; some successes of LED were recorded in urban or metropolitan municipalities. Few successes have been recorded of LED projects in rural municipalities. Some of the constraints of LED consist of capacity problems within the municipalities, understanding the role of LED in the municipality and lack of funding. In Makana Municipality, about 23 percentage of households live below poverty line of (R800.00 – R9600 a year). Most of the population earns between R801.00-R1600.00 per month with 24.7 percentage. A mere 0.6 percentage earn R204801.00 or more compared to 12.7 percentage with no income. Inadequate infrastructure poses as a threat to attracting and retaining investment in this municipality. In light of the above paragraphs, this thesis evaluated the impact assessment of the LED projects within Makana Municipality. The premise of this thesis is that realization and significant support of LED projects would impact positively on unemployment and poverty rate that this municipality is facing and subsequently; the burden of unemployment and poverty will be reduced in the region, province and country.

Full textAbstract:
Listed development activities, which may have a substantial detrimental effect on the environment
require an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). One of the important elements of the EIA
process is the submission of a scoping report and/or an environmental impact report (EIR) to the
relevant government department and to, specialist and interested and affected parties for review, in
order to determine whether the report is adequate and/or whether a greater quantity of information
is required before a decision for project approval can be made. Information available in the reports
to decision-makers with regard to developments with the potential of affecting wetlands can play a
significant role regarding the protection and/or destruction of wetlands. The acceptance of the
assessments reports after the authority review process depends, inter aha, upon the quality of the
report. However, the current DEAT guideline document on EIA regulations (DEAT, 1998a) does not
provide specific guidance to EIA practitioners in considering wetlands within the current EIA, nor
any guidance on what a good EIA should include for projects that have the potential of impacting
on wetlands, as observed with the World Bank guideline document on EIA and wetlands. Hence,
this study aimed at assessing the quality of the EIA assessment reports of four projects with the
potential of impacting on wetlands. The objectives of the study included the review by independent
reviewers of the quality of four-selected impact reports using a checklist, analysis of the review
process results and provision of recommendations to improve the quality of environmental impact
reports for projects with the potential of impacting on wetlands.
Based on the review results it is concluded that:
-The four reports were rated as satisfactory despite some omissions and/or inadequacies
observed.
-The identification and evaluation of impacts, which forms the core area of the EIA, process
was weakly performed.
-The review method is fairly robust and consistent/reliable.
The following were recommended:
-The availability for and use of a quality review checklist by EIA practitioners and
authorities as an additional tool to the EIA regulations (DEAT 1997), and the Integrated
Environmental Management series (DEAT, 2002) can further improve the quality of the
reports for projects with the potential of affecting wetlands.
-The availability for and use by EIA practitioners of a wetland review checklist will assist in
ensuring that all key aspects are addressed before submission to the relevant authority
i.e. the report is scientifically and technically sound; the report is clearly and coherently
organised and presented so that it can be understood and that it has addressed all the
important issues to make a decision about the proposed development. This will further
assist in fast-tracking the approval process usually delayed by the request of additional
information from the applicant as a result of inadequate reports.
-Regular use of the review checklist by EIA practitioners and authorities for ascertaining
the quality of the environmental impact reports will contribute to a baseline of EIR quality
for evaluation of Wetlands EIA practice under the new regulations due in 2005.Thesis (M. Environmental Management)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2006.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation explores the reception history of Makura no sōshi (The Pillow Book, 11th c.) from the seventeenth through the nineteenth centuries. Focusing on an extensive body of texts, including scholarly commentaries, erotic parodies, and instruction manuals for women, I examine how Makura no sōshi and the image of its female author Sei Shōnagon were transformed through shifts in political contexts, readerships, and socio-cultural conditions. The complex reception history of The Pillow Book, in which the text was recreated through diverse forms, serves as a useful case study of how literary criticism, gender structures, and the status of women have changed through time. Drawing from research on the invention of national literatures and the historical reception of Japanese “classical” works, this study reveals the processes and agents that contributed to the shifting place of Makura no sōshi within Japanese literature. By so doing, it sheds light on the extent to which misrepresentations of Heian texts and their authors have influenced approaches in literary scholarship and shaped contemporary images of the Heian period as a whole.
The Introduction analyzes the context in which Makura no sōshi was produced and considers theoretical approaches to the reception of literary works, particularly the processes of evaluation, interpretation, adaptation, and canonization. Chapter One traces scholarly debates regarding the textual identity and the genre of the work as recorded in scholarly commentaries and works of literary criticism. Chapter Two takes up the popularization of the Heian text among male readers and considers its transformation into a highly eroticized work. An examination of illustrated adaptations of Makura no sōshi for a female readership follows in Chapter Three, which shows how the work was used as a manual for social mobility gained through marriage. Chapter Four turns to constructions of Sei Shōnagon in instruction manuals for women and examines the use of the image of the author as an efficient tool for gender training both in Edo (1603-1868) and Meiji (1868-1912) Japan. The Conclusion summarizes aspects of Makura no sōshi that defy categorization and make it a dynamic text.

Samples of respondents were selected from Makana Municipality employees in top and middle management positions, professionals/technicians and workers, including elected councillors. The study was contextualised through establishing environmental management issues in Makana municipality; establishing organisational needs; development of a learner profile; and through a review of policies and recent trends in adult education. The study established that the Makana Municipality employees are most concerned with the following issues: sanitation; solid waste management; livestock management and fire management. These issues require primary environmental competences among all council employees (top and middle management, professionals and technicians, workers and councillors who work on part-time basis). The educational implications needed to respond to these issues also require an understanding of legislation. The study also established that technical education and training which includes planning, project management, and financial and budgeting competences are necessary amongst the management and professionals. These competences may enable them to develop capacity in environmental management. This study further established the need for social education which includes competences such as communication and social justice. These competences should be developed amongst members of the same group as they need to involve the community in management of the environment. This should enable the municipality to create job opportunities and help change negative attitudes.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse propose une exploration qualitative et quantitative des conditions dans lesquelles l’ethnie des Makina du Gabon se transforme au contact d’autres ethnies et au contact du monde urbain qui se construit à différentes échelles à travers le pays. La conclusion est que l’ethnie doit être déconstruite en diverses composantes qui connaissent des rythmes d’évolution qui sont objectivables dans leurs formes historiques et géographiques. Ce résultat est atteint par l’analyse contextualisée de 747 données individuelles qui – sur une durée globale d’un siècle – sont tour à tour référées au changement d’ethnonyme, au déplacement des villages, au changement de la langue pratiquée, à la modification des règles de mariage, à la transformation lente des noms de lignages et celle plus rapide des noms de personnes. La différence de vitesse de transformation de chacune des composantes structurantes de l’ethnie donne ainsi une configuration polyrythmique qui remet en cause les conceptions holistes de l’ethnie en leur préférant une dynamique de l’hétérogénéitéThe main proposal of this doctoral dissertation is an insightful study of the historical, linguistic and anthropological transformations of the Makina, an ethnic group of Northern and Eastern Gabon. These transformations are referred to the change, during the last century, of the original ethnonym as well as that of the language, of matrimonial rules, and finally of clan and person naming. On the whole, the author’s demonstration leads to the evidence of a rhythmical pattern in change, even a polyrhythmical one, as the differences in speed between different components of an ethnic group may be interpreted as a multi rhythmical transformation system. 81 genealogical diagrams and over 747 individual data collected on fieldwork give strong support to the different aspects of the author’s thesis

Full textAbstract:
The primary goal of this study was to construct and test a Community Relations Model (CRM) that may be implemented by policy makers, tourism planners, tourism managers and tourism developers as they develop tourism policies and manage the social impacts of tourism. Five
objectives were derived from the primary research goal. The first objective was to analyse the social impacts of tourism by means of a literature study. This was achieved by examining the theoretical perspectives, framework and models for
assessing host community perceptions of social impacts of tourism. In this regard, it was found that the social impacts of tourism are an integral part of sociology. Therefore, the social impacts of tourism may not be successfully addressed without drawing on the methods and perspectives
of sociology. This indicates clearly that there is a relationship between sociology and other social science disciplines, particularly tourism management. The host communities' perceptions of tourism may be positive or negative and are critical in policy planning and management because they affect the behaviour of the residents toward the tourists.
The second objective was to analyse the role of the community by means of a literature study. This objective was achieved by examining the role of the government, the private sector and the community in managing the social impacts of tourism. It was found that the main roles of the government are to facilitate, coordinate, plan and promote development of the nations and tourists products. The private sector's roles are to invest and promote tourism as well as the
country. The community should actively participate in tourism management by seeking
partnership opportunities with the stablished private tourism sector, voluntary groups and NGO's. Although the community is expected to playa vital role in the management of tourism, it was found that their actual involvement depends on their awareness of tourism activities, on
how they perceive tourism developments and their involvement in tourism related issues.
The third objective was to determine the components to be used in order to develop and test the Community Relations Model (CRM). This objective was achieved through both literature and qualitative analysis. Evidence from the literature and qualitative analysis indicates that the Katse
community is unquestionably affected both positively and negatively by tourism developments.
It was also clear that effective management of social impacts of tourism may be achieved
through collaboration and partnership with the government, the private sector and the community. The stakeholders should work together in order to encourage the positive impacts and ameliorate the negative impacts. The community should be involved and made aware of tourism developments in their respective areas. Both the literature and qualitative study revealed the six
community relations components: namely, the positive impacts, negative impacts, the role of government, the role of private sector, community awareness and community involvement that, were used to develop a measuring instrument for Katse residents.
The fourth objective was to construct and test the CRM based on an empirical investigations.
The CRM is intended to guide tourism planners, managers and policy-makers in managing the social impacts of tourism. To achieve this objective, nine research hypotheses were proposed and tested. The sample of 500 Katse residents was drawn from the household population of four villages: namely, Ha-Lejone, Ha-Poli, Ha-Mikia and Mphorosane. A combination of stratified and convenience sampling approaches were used for sample selection. Data was analysed with the aid of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). SPSS with AMOS 16 software
was used to construct and test the SEM model.
In constructing and testing model A, a two stage process was followed. Firstly, factors were calculated through the use of confirmatory factor analysis for the six community relations components. Secondly, the factors were used for SEM. Due to unsatisfactory data fit in model A, model B was constructed and tested. In constructing and testing model B factor analyses
were not performed; instead all the items of each community relations component were used for SEM. In the resulting structural equation model for both model A and B, eight hypotheses were supported and one was not supported (H7). The results of the two models provided similar results; however, model B fitted the collected data reasonably while model A fitted the data poorly.
The fifth objective was to make recommendations and suggestions on how the model may be implemented with regard to the management of the social impacts of tourism. It was recommended that the model should be implemented in the area of tourism management. In order to implement the model effectively the role players should know, understand and perform their roles and duties in managing the social impacts of tourism.
The successful implementation of the CRM depends on a positive relationship between and among the role players in tourism management. Specifically, it depends on a positive relationship between the role of government, the role of private sector, community awareness, community involvement, positive impacts and negative impacts of tourism. The proposed model needs to be implemented through the partnership and collaboration of the role players in
tourism management. which will lead to sustainable tourism. The most important contribution of this study is the construction of a model through which the positive and negative impacts of tourism may be effectively managed.Thesis (Ph.D. (Business Administration))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2010.

Full textAbstract:
The United Nations’ 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child, is the most fundamental potentiality to affect children’s lives for the better, through the dynamic relationship between its provisions for child participation, protection and the best interests of the child. I investigate how the Convention is being implemented in Kundapur, in southern India. The makkala panchayat initiative has established children’s councils that parallel the rural (adult) village councils which operate under the decentralizing Panchayati Raj system of local government in Karnataka State. The initiative is the innovation of Bangalore-based NGO, The Concerned for Working Children (“CWC”). Through a methodology informed by grounded theory, ethnography and the sociology of childhood, I report the opinions of the children elected to the makkala panchayats, how the makkala panchayats impact their lives and whether the Convention’s provisions are being integrated into the makkala panchayats. I examine the context in which the Convention is being operationalized, the conceptualizations of children and childhood with particular consideration being given to postmodern social constructionism, childhood and The Child. The thesis divides into six themes related to the children of the makkala panchayats: loss; burden; risk; competency; homogeneity; and authenticity. An examination is made in the role of the NGO, in its capacities as facilitor and research gatekeeper. I find the children do benefit from their participation, in both material and developmental terms, and I find drawbacks. From my findings, I offer suggestions for further avenues of research.

Full textAbstract:
This study presents results to be contributed to the field of Environmental Education. It is a new arena for qualifications development and implementation in the South African Education and Training system. The study is located in the context of a joint research programme focusing on understanding issues of articulation and learning pathways development for sustainable development, established between the South African Qualifications Authority (SAQA) in partnership with Rhodes University, Environmental Learning Research Centre (ELRC). Phase 1 of the SAQA/ELRC research showed that researching workplace learning requires an understanding of learning pathways, if it is to be meaningful. It is for this reason that this research in phase 2 focuses specifically on learning pathways in the context of a local municipality in Makana. Using a case study research approach and qualitative data, this study investigated learning pathways for three occupational categories at different levels in the Makana Municipality: 1) key managerial occupations; 2) key supervisory occupations; and 3) key workers occupations relevant to sustainable development and how they are shaped and experienced. It also identified system and structural factors influencing articulation and access issues relevant to progress in learning pathways relevant to these key occupations. The study was designed using a case study research. Primarily, qualitative research techniques were employed to generate data, including observations, interviews and document analysis. The study used inductive, abductive and retroductive modes of inference to interpret and analyse data, using critical realist and systems perspectives. The findings on worker learning pathways show that there is a discrepancy between the Training Policy and the Environmental Training and Education Strategy of Makana Municipality. The issue of complexity in learning pathways and social structural factors such as inequality emerged as factors that strongly influenced learning pathways for workers. Learning pathways for workers involved in sustainable development practices hardly existed or simply did not exist. Interesting transitions associated with learning pathways such as from home, to work or no schooling in the case of the workers, showed a pattern of emergence. These showed that learning pathways are not accessible and equally available to everyone as can often erroneously be assumed. The findings on supervisor learning pathways show diverse complexities as well as related issues, when compared to the worker’s learning pathways. Issues such as overlapping of study and work emerge as influential to supervisor learning pathways. Lack of support is, however, an influencing factor, but in a different context compared to the workers, and mainly focuses on lack of bursaries, highlighting training policy issues. This aspect was found to also relate to lack of proper resources in order to enable them to learn and do their job better; an issue raised by the workers too. This challenge of lack of support in various forms posed a barrier to learning pathways. Findings related to the manager’s learning pathways show a noticeable gap between the workers, supervisors and managers. The manager’s generally have higher education qualifications related to sustainable development, and in certain cases managers have had exposure to international training related to sustainable development. Factors such as ample opportunities for learning, mentoring, association on professional bodies, and decision making powers influenced the manager’s learning pathways. It was also notable that while managers receive occupationally directed training, it is not necessarily sustainable development related. In theory, the results highlighted a need to understand systems as a whole and how their integration is important in influencing learning pathways. There were also underlying mechanisms and structures identified which needed to be unravelled and understood as these were found to influence learning pathways in this study. The study highlighted critical insights in understanding how learning pathways in a local municipality context (the case of Makana Municipality) are constructed by both systems and structural factors in the workplace, while also identifying ways in which agency of those engaged in learning for sustainable development in workplaces is enabled and /or constrained by such factors. It also showed the persistence of deep-seated inequalities of opportunity, especially for workers, to access and participate in sustainable development learning pathways.

The main objective of this mini–dissertation is to investigate the basic form and
content of moral education as it manifests itself in the mamtiseni and nkciyo
female initiation rituals of the Mount Frere region of the Eastern Cape Province of
the Republic of South Africa. The main theoretical position taken is the reemergent
African Renaissance coupled with African indigenous knowledge
systems, first revived by (former) President Thabo Mbeki. Accordingly the main
purpose of this study is to address the transmission of moral aspects of female
Bhaca initiation inherent in behavioural/cultural educational enculturation.
The main findings of the mini–dissertation constitute the following:
1. Mamtiseni and nkciyo rituals play a major role in the enculturation of
young Bhaca girls.
2. The song texts carry strong messages of how to go about achieving a
healthy and surviving society.
There are further opportunities for research in the following aspects:
1. Nkciyo initiation schools are very exclusive, involving many secret codes.
The fact that I am a male put me at a disadvantage.
2. There are many more points of difference between the two rituals than
meets the eye.Thesis (M.Mus.)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
The Old Testament verbal expression of ‘the exile of Judah’ during the Babylonian exile has led to the perception that the land of Judah was emptied of all Judeans. This biblical expression is not necessarily contradictory to historical facts, but theologically and quality-orientated in nature. The exile of the elite from Jerusalem to Babylon, the execution of some of them and the flight of others to Egypt and other neighbouring states disrupted Jerusalem and rendered the city dysfunctional in every national sphere. The royal and religious services, which were based in Jerusalem, the capital city, were discontinued. The emptiness of Judah was signalled by the emptiness as regards the royal and religious authority wrought on Jerusalem by Babylon. Without their royalty, cult, trade, military and judiciary, Judah was indeed emptied and exiled. However, not all Judeans were exiled, for a remnant remained. There is almost no significant record of revelations by God in Judah during the exile, especially after compatriots that opted to flee to Egypt had forcefully taken Jeremiah with them. In addition to its land being emptied during the exile, Judah lost some of its land. The Judean identity in Judah disintegrated due to the influx of foreigners into the land and their subsequent influence on the remaining Judeans. Those that remained in Judah were unable to establish an exclusive Judean community and identity effectively; in any case, not before the Babylonian exiles returned early in the time of the Persian Empire. The paucity of information about the lifestyle in Judah during the exile attests to the veracity and rectitude of the theological concepts of the exile of Judah from 605 to 539 BCE.Thesis (PhD (Old Testament))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

Full textAbstract:
The work of Japanese contemporary artist Aida Makoto (1965-) has been shown internationally in major art institutions, yet there is little English-language art historical scholarship on him. While a contemporary of internationally-acclaimed Japanese artists Murakami Takashi and Nara Yoshitomo, Aida has neither gained their level of international recognition or respect. To date, Aida?s work has been consistently labeled as otaku or subcultural art, and this label fosters exotic and juvenile notions about the artist?s heavy engagement with Japanese animation, film and manga (Japanese comic book) culture. In addition to this critical devaluation, Aida?s explicit and deliberately shocking compositions seemingly serve to further disqualify him from scholarly consideration. This thesis will argue that Aida Makoto is instead a serious and socially responsible artist. Aida graduated with a Masters of Fine Arts from Tokyo University of Fine Arts and Music in 1991 and came of age as an artist in the late 1980s during the start of Japan?s economic recession. Since then Aida has tirelessly created artwork embodying an ever-changing contemporary Japanese identity. Much of his twenty-three-year oeuvre explores the culturally significant social sign of the shojo or pre-pubescent Japanese schoolgirl. This thesis will discuss these compositions as Aida?s deliberate and exacting social critiques of Japan?s first and second ?lost decades,? which began in 1991 and continue into the present.

Full textAbstract:
This study examines the nature and characteristics of the informal sector within the Makana municipal area in South Africa. The focus is on the socio-economic characteristics of the informal sector operatives; operational characteristics of the microenterprises that we studied, such as longevity, employment generation, growth potential, and linkages of the informal sector with the formal sector of the economy. Extensive studies on the informal sector have been conducted in many parts of the world relative to South Africa. The key finding in most of these researches is that the informal sector is highly heterogeneous. These studies provide us with the parameters for analysing the nature and characteristics of the informal sector in the Makana Municipality. The results of the thesis show that the majority of people in Makana Municipality join the informal sector as a result of such push factors as unemployment, retrenchment and the need to survive. While there is evidence of lucrative activities amongst the surveyed enterprises, most of the informal sector micro-enterprises are concentrated in the lower segment of the sector where earnings are very low. Results from this study reveal that employment generation (beyond owner-operator) is very limited. The co-existence of a small number of remunerative activities alongside a large proportion of relatively unproductive activities is not only a sign of restricted economic potential but, most importantly, it points to the heterogeneous nature of the informal sector. Precisely, the informal sector encompasses activities which are different in terms of asset holdings, earnings, etc. From the study, it is also evident that the informal sector micro-enterprises play a crucial role in distributing goods produced in the formal sector. Evidence indicates that these micro-enterprises are Iinked to the formal sector. The idea of a 'second economy' devoid of linkages with the 'first economy' is of limited heuristic value. Thus, the 'second economy' is an extension of the first.

Full textAbstract:
L'Archipel des Comores composé de quatre îles : Grande-Comore, Anjouan, Mohéli et Mayotte dont le premier peuplement remonte au premier millénaire avant Jésus Christ, a connu l'esclavage avant la traite et la colonisation française qui commence. Les fonctions principales de l'esclavage dans ce petit pays au bout du monde sont agricoles et domestiques. Mais contrairement aux autres pays, c'est la rareté des documents écrits et le silence absolu des habitants qui prédominent face à ce phénomène. L'esclavage va connaître une croissance fulgurante avec le phénomène de la traite et l'histoire coloniale. De nombreux Mozambicains sont déversés dans les îles : les uns pour répondre aux besoins des bras dans l'économie agricole coloniale basée sur la culture des produits de rente ; les autres pour partir par la suite dans d'autres pays, et plus particulièrement l'île de La Réunion. Les Africains d'origine mozambicaine sont connus aux Comores sous le nom de Makua. Après un survol rapide de d'histoire générale de l'esclavage aux Comores, la thèse se penche spécifiquement sur la traite de Makua pendant une période précise d'un siècle : 1870 à 1970. L'analyse aborde successivement les aspects liés à la route, les perceptions, l'occupation des espaces, l'intégration et l'apport de Makua. L'abolition officielle de l'esclavagisme était diversement appréciée à l'image actuelle du pays dont les séquelles de cette histoire douloureuse sont toujours visibles jusqu'à enfanter ce que l'on appelle communément l'esclavage moderneThe Comoro Archepelago is composed of four Islands: Great Comoro, Anjouan, Moheli and Mayotte, whose first population, goes back to the first century BC, has known slavery before the slave trade and the beginning of French Colonization. The main functions of slavery in this little country at the end of world are mainly agricultural and domestic work. But contrary to the others countries, written documents are scarce and an absolute silence of the inhabitants prevail in front of this phenomenon. Slavery was going to have a steady growth with this phenomenon of the slave trade and colonial history. A lot of Mozambicans are brought to the islands: some to respond to the need of labor in the agricultural colonial economy based on the culture of commercial products; others to be sent to other countries, and more particularly to la Reunion Island. The Africans originated from Mozambique are known in the Comoros under the name of wamakua (from makua). After a quick glance of the general history of slavery in the Comoros, the thesis focuses specially on the makua slave trade in a specific period of a century: from 1870 to 1970. The analysis deals successively on the different aspects linked to the route, the perceptions, the occupation of space, integration and the makua contribution. The official abolition of slavery was differently appreciated with regard to the present image of the country the remains of which of this painful history are always visible until the birth of what is commonly known as Modern slavery

Full textAbstract:
O estudo de obras clássicas literárias japonesas do gênero zuihitsu é um desafio para pesquisadores no Brasil, pois, além das dificuldades trazidas pelas diferenças entre as línguas, incorre em novas conceituações de modalidade de escritos. Apesar de ser considerado em geral como equivalente ao ensaio ocidental, é possível observar divergências que indicam uma necessidade de adequar o olhar crítico ao gênero oriental. Para isso, foram abordadas questões concernentes às definições de gênero literário no ocidente através de um apanhado histórico da crítica, levando em conta a etimologia do termo; e algumas considerações a respeito do caráter linguístico dos conceitos conforme a teoria de Wittgenstein. Em seguida, pretendeu-se esquematizar as abordagens do ensaio enquanto gênero, remontando sua história, através de passagens dos Ensaios de Montaigne, de alguns textos de Bacon, Hume e Adorno, entre outros ensaístas e críticos que versam sobre o assunto, de maneira a delinear características próprias dessa categoria ocidental. Além disso, examinamos, a partir de suas formulações e de sua recepção, a possibilidade de se encontrar uma tradição também no Brasil. Posteriormente, buscamos mapear as origens do zuihitsu em paralelo com as do ensaio. E, então, analisamos alguns textos de Makura no Sôshi em comparação a outros de Tsurezuregusa , duas das três obras consideradas basilares e essenciais à compreensão do gênero japonês. Essa análise comparativa foi feita tendo por base principalmente a presença de certos temas em comum, como a motivação da escrita, certas considerações sobre as quatro estações, sobre os momentos de ócio ou, ainda, sobre os monges. Nosso intuito foi trazer à tona semelhanças e diferenças entre as obras de modo a elucidar características do gênero que o aproximam ou o distanciam dos ensaios e de outros gêneros ocidentais, na esperança de que isso nos levasse à adequação do olhar supramencionada. E, por fim, foi realizado um fechamento a partir de considerações a respeito dos gêneros ocidentais e do ensaio, do zuihitsu e do cotejo das obras clássicas japonesas, que nos leve à conceituação desse gênero japonês.The study of classic Japanese literatures genre zuihitsu is a challenge for scholars in Brazil, because besides the difficulties about languages differences, it incurs in a new conceptualizations of written genres. Although some scholars consider it as equivalent to Western essays, it is possible to observe some disparitys that indicate a need to adjust our critical view to the Eastern genre. In order to achieve that goal, we had approached some questions about Western genres definitions through a historical and literary overviews, as well as we had taken into consideration the terms etymology, and referred some ponderations about the linguistic character following some of the Wittgenstein theory concepts. After that, we intended to outline a scheme of essays as a literary genre, retracing its history, through passages of Montaigne\'s Essays, of some texts from Bacon, Hume and Adorno, among others essayists and critics that deal with the subject, in order to delineate its characteristics. More than that, we have examined, from its formulations and its reception, the possibility of finding also such a tradition in Brazil. Subsequently, we have seek mapping zuihitsu origins in confrontation to the essays ones. In addition, thereafters, we have analysed some texts from Makura no sôshi and compared them to others from Tsurezuregusa, two of the three masterpieces which are considered basic and essential to understanding the Japanese genre. This comparative analysis was done by means of their common themes, such as the written motivations, some considerations of four seasons, moments in idleness or even monks. Our aim was to bring out similarities and differences between them to elucidate genre characteristics that bring them nearer or make them apart of essays, hoping that this would lead us doing some adjustments of our critical view. Finally we have finalized this dissertation by referring some considerations on the Western genre, the essays, the zuihitsu, and the comparison of Japanese classical pieces, which lead us to conceptualyze the Japanese genre.

Full textAbstract:
How can anthropologists describe the relationship between Christian and Amazonian ontologies? Based on a 13 months-long fieldwork, this ethnography of the Evangelical mission town of Makuma in lowland Ecuador describes the relationship between the Shuar and North American missionaries. In Makuma “Christianity” and “Shuar” both refer to ways of relating particularity to a universal but put different emphases either on the body or on belief, and on relation or on boundaries. I argue that these are constituted by “technologies of introjection of the future”. For Shuar people, these technologies range from manioc beer to powerful hallucinogens which serve to anchor a perceived chronic instability of Amazonian bodies. Shuar Christians avoid using any of these, which complicates their participation in social life. All the alternatives they have found revolve around the Bible. As another “technology of introjection of the future”, the Bible appears to Makuma Christians as a text addressed to them personally by a God come from a future beyond the future to help them live that future in the present. They translate the Bible into the Shuar language and document the world from the Bible's perspective to stabilise the relationship between God, themselves, and Shuar people. Both “technologies of introjection of the future” are distinct but can be made to work together. I present various forms of cooperation between Shuar and missionaries (Bible translation, maintenance of a hydroelectric powerplant) alongside attempts to articulate a new relationship between the Shuar, God, and the Church that would bypass the missionaries (Islam, adventism, or indigenous churches). These are judged by the Shuar for their effects on kinship. I conclude the thesis with a more abstract definition of “technologies of incorporation of the future” which enables their articulation with capitalism and colonialism and opens up broader comparative horizons.

Alors que la Grande Île avait été, durant des siècles, exportatrice d'esclaves, elle se mit au XIXe siècle à importer de façon massive des esclaves de l'Afrique orientale. Tous les esclaves est-africains ont été appelés Madagascar par les termes génériques de « Makoa » ou « Masombika », qui ont continué à désigner leurs descendants. À l'Ouest de Madagascar, des vieux Makoa continuent de transmettre le souvenir de leurs ancêtres venus d'au-delà des mers. En suivant le fil de ces récits oraux, confrontés à diverses sources archivistiques, j'ai tenté de reconstituer l'histoire de la traversée de ces aïeux, de l'Afrique centrale de l'Est à la côte Ouest de Madagascar. Leur migration forcée s'est réalisée au cours de la seconde moitié du XIXe sied( dans un contexte où la traite des esclaves était considérée comme illégale. Dans l'Ouest malgache, les MakoE ou Masombika ont connu des situations juridiques et des conditions sociales différentes. La pluralité de leurs stratégies individuelles et collectives, en contexte d'esclavage et de post-esclavage, illustre le caractère hétérogène du groupe. Des facteurs de cohésion liaient toutefois les Makoa, qui ont parlé à Madagascar une seule et même langue, importée du MozambiqueWhile Madagascar had been exporting slaves for centuries, in the nineteenth century, the Big Island began to import massively slaves from East Africa. Ail African slaves were called by the generic terms of "Makoa" or "Masombika" which continued to nominate their descendants in Madagascar. In the West, old Makoa inhabitants continue to transmit the memory of their ancestors who came from beyond the seas. Following the course of these oral narratives, faced with various archivai sources, I tried to reconstruct the history of the crossing of these ancestors, from East Africa to the West coast o Madagascar. Their forced migration was carried out during the second half of the nineteenth century, when the slave trade was considered illegal. In western Madagascar, the Makoa or Masombika experienced different legal situations and social conditions. The plurality of their individual and collective strategies, in context of slavery and post-slavery, illustrates the heterogeneity of the group. However, cohesion factors linked the Makoa, who spoke in Madagascar a single language, imported from Mozambique

Full textAbstract:
Irradiation experiments for the pebble bed modular reactor PBMR fuel (coated fuel particles and pebble
fuel) are planned at the South African First Atomic Reactor Installation (SAFARI-1). The experiments
are conducted to investigate the behavior of the fuel under normal operating and accelerated/accident
simulating conditions because the safe operation of the reactor relies on the integrity of the fuel for
retention of radioactivity.
For fuel irradiation experiments, the accurate knowledge and analysis of the neutron spectrum of the
irradiation facility is required. In addition to knowledge of the neutron spectrum in the irradiation facility,
power distributions and knowledge of nuclear heating values has to be acquired. The SAFARI-1 reactor
boosts operating fluid temperatures of about 300 K. On the contrary, the PBMR can reach temperatures in
up to about 1370 K under normal operating conditions. This calls for design of high temperature
irradiation rigs for irradiation of the PBMR fuel in the SAFARI-1 reactor. The design of this instrument
(rig) should be such that to create an isolated high temperature environment in the SAFARI-1 reactor, to
achieve the requirements of the PBMR fuel irradiation program. The design of the irradiation rig is
planned such that the rig should fit in the existing irradiation channels of the SAFARI-1 reactor, a time
and cost saving from the licensing perspective.
This study aims to establish the know-how of coated particle and pebble modeling in using the Monte
Carlo N-Particle code (MCNP5). The study also aims to establish the know-how of rig design. In this
study, the Necsa in-house code Overall System for the Calculation of Reactors (OSCAR-3), a software
known as OScar 3-Mcnp INTerface (OSMINT) linking OSCAR-3 and MCNP5, also developed at Necsa,
as well as MCNP5 code developed and maintained by the Los Alamos team, are used to calculate
neutronic and power distribution parameters that are important for fuel irradiations and for rig design.
This study presents results and data that can be used to make improvements in the design of the rig or to
confirm if the required operational conditions can be met with the current preliminary rig design. Result
of the neutronic analysis are presented for the SAFARI-1 core, core irradiation channel B6 (where the
PBMR fuel irradiation rig is loaded for the purpose of this study), the rig structure and the pebble fuel are
presented. Furthermore results of the power distribution and nuclear heating values in the reactor core, the
irradiation channel B6, the rig structures and the pebble fuel is also presented.
The loading of the PBMR fuel irradiation rig in core position B6 reduces the core reactivity due to the
fact that the loading of the rig displaces the water moderator in channel B6 introducing vast amounts of
helium. This impacts on the keff value because there will be less neutron thermalization and reproduction
due to the decreased population of thermal neutrons. The rig is found to introduce a negative reactivity
insertion of 46 pcm. The loading of this rig in the core leads to no significant perturbations on the core
power distribution. The core hottest channel is still localized in core channel C6 both with RIG IN and RIG OUT cases. A power tilt is observed, with the south side of the core experiencing reduced assembly
averaged fission power, with correspondingly small compensations from the assemblies on the north side
of the core.
The perturbations on the core assembly averaged fluxes are more pronounced in the eight assemblies
surrounding B6. Core position B6 suffers an 18% neutron flux depression with the loading of the rig. The
fluxes in core positions A5, A6, A7, B5, B7 and C7 are increased when the rig is loading. The largest
increases are noted as 12% in A7, 9% in A6 and 6% in A5 and B7. All the eight core positions
surrounding B6 experience reduced photon fluxes with the loading of the rig. Core position B6 shows a
flux depression of up to 20%, with 10% reduction in core position A6. The remainder seven positions
surrounding B6 shows flux depressions of no more than 5%.
Further on, due to decreased moderation effects, the axial neutron flux in core position B6 is reduced by
20% when the rig is loaded. The energy dependent neutron flux in B6 decreases by 50% in the thermal
energy range with corresponding increases of up to 50% in the resonance and fast energy regions. The
axial and the energy dependent photon flux in core position B6 decreases by up to 20% when the rig is
loaded.
The magnitude of the neutron and photon fluxes is found to have a direct proportion on the neutron and
photon heating values. While the amount of neutron heating in core position B6 increases by one order of
magnitude, when the rig is loaded, the photon heating values increases by up to 60% in the region
spanning ±10cm about the core centerline. The amount of photon heating in the rig structural materials
dominates neutron heating, except in the helium regions of the rig, where neutron heating dominates
photon heating. In the fuel region of the pebble, fission heating (3803W) largely dominates photon heating (119W).Thesis (M.Sc. (Nuclear Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009

O Japão de meados do século XX apresentava um contexto em que influências advindas do ocidente desde a abertura dos portos mesclavam-se à tradição japonesa. Nesse contexto viviam as irmãs Makioka, personagens centrais do romance de Junichiro Tanizaki e objeto principal da presente pesquisa. Por meio da figura de cada uma delas temos acesso ao modo como essas influências adentraram no dia a dia de parte da sociedade japonesa, mais especificamente da família Makioka, tradicional da região de Osaka, e seu círculo social. Para desenvolver esse estudo, faremos a contextualização do período vivido pelo autor e pelas personagens por ele criadas, bem como de que maneira os acontecimentos tiveram participação na formação das mesmas. Também será feita uma análise das personagens secundárias a fim de ampliar a visão acerca das principais. E, finalmente, de acordo com conceitos a respeito da construção de personagem, faremos um estudo das quatro irmãs, levando em consideração aquilo que estava mais na superfície, acessível num primeiro olhar, além dos elementos que compunham o modo de ser de cada uma delas, com as amálgamas e sobreposições resultantes do período.Japan in the mid-twentieth century displayed a context which influences brought from western culture since the opening of the ports blended to Japanese tradition. The Makioka sisters, central characters of the novel by Junichiro Tanizaki and main subject of this research, lived in this cultural context. Through each one of these characters, we can access the way these influences entered everyday life of part of Japanese society, especially Makioka, a traditional family from Osaka area and their social circle. For the purpose of this study, we will contextualize the period lived by the author and his created characters, as well as how events contributed for their construction. The secondary characters also will be analyzed in order to amplify the view about the main characters. Finally, according to concepts about literary character construction, we will study the four sisters, considering what relies on the surface, accessible at first glance, such as elements that create the profile of each one of them, alongside amalgams and overlaps resulting from this period.

O objetivo desta pesquisa é descrever a fonética dos fenômenos de glotalizaçãolaringalização e examinar de forma preliminar seu status fonológico em três línguas pertencentes ao grupo linguístico Tukano Oriental: Tuyuka, Tukano e Makuna. Para levar a cabo este trabalho foi realizada uma pesquisa de campo na que se coletaram aproximadamente 140 palavras nas três línguas. Os dados foram coletados com quatro falantes nativos de cada língua duas mulheres e dois homens. A análise fonética apresentada corresponde a observações das diversas disposições anatômicas da laringe na produção dos fenômenos de glotalização-laringalização, assim como dos seus correlatos acústicos, tipo VOT para aspiração, e inclinação espectral, frequência fundamental e duração para laringalização. A análise fonológica corresponde à caracterização dos fenômenos de glotalização-laringalização através do uso do modelo de traço [±cet] de Moisik & Esling (2011) e de marcadores prosódicos apresentado em Gordon & Ladefoged (2001). Resultados obtidos mostram que em duas línguas há realização de fenômenos de pós-aspiração, vogais desvozeadas e voz rangeada. A pós-aspiração ocorre em consoantes surdas em duas línguas, não é contrastiva e é condicionada principalmente pela ocorrência de vogais altas. As vogais ensurdecidas estão presentes em Tuyuka e Tukano e ocorrem unicamente depois da primeira vogal de um subconjunto de morfemas de raiz com padrão silábico (C)VhV. A voz rangeada está presente em Tukano e minimamente em Makuna; ocorre depois da primeira vogal de um subconjunto de raízes com padrão silábico (C)VV/(C)V(C)V e apresenta pelo menos três diferentes realizações (oclusiva glotal, transição laringalizada e mudanças bruscas na intensidade entre vogal modal e vogal com voz rangeada). Quando ensurdecimento e laringalização acontecem, o tom associado à primeira vogal é baixo. A partir da análise das semelhanças fonéticas e fonológicas destes fenômenos assim como da fricativa glotal esta pesquisa propõe a realização de um suprassegmento laríngeo que ocorre na primeira mora de um subconjunto de morfemas raiz e cuja função é a de marcar fronteira prosódica: limite bimoráico no interior de silaba e limite silábico em padrões bissilábicos.The goal of this research is to describe the phonetics of glottalization-laringalization phenomena and to offer a preliminary examination of its phonological status in three Eastern Tucanoan languages: Tuyuca, Tucano and Macuna. A collection of approximately 140 words was elicited in each language during fieldwork. The data comes from four native speakers of each language: two women and two men. The phonetic analysis corresponds to observations of different laryngeal settings in the production of glottalizationlaringalization phenomena, and their acoustic correlates such as VOT for aspiration, and spectral tilt, fundamental frequency and duration for laringalization. As for the phonological analysis, a characterization of the glottalization-laringalization phenomena, using the laryngeal feature [± cet] of Moisik & Esling (2011) and prosodic markers of Gordon & Ladefoged (2001), was suggested. Results show that two languages have post aspiration, voiceless vowels and creaky voice. Post aspiration occurs in voiceless consonants in two languages, is not contrastive and is conditioned mainly by the occurrence of high vowels. Voiceless vowels are present in Tuyuca and Tucano, and occur only after the first vowel of a subset of root morphemes with syllabic pattern (C)VhV. Finally, creaky voice is present in Tucano and less in Macuna; it occurs after the first vowel of a subset of root morphemes with syllablic patterns (C)VV/(C)V(C)V, and it has at least three different phonetic realizations (glottal stop, laringalized transitions, and abrupt changes in intensity between modal and creaky voice). When voicelessness and creaky voice are produced, the tone associated with the first vowel is low. Considering the phonetic and phonological similarities of these phenomena including the glottal fricative-, this study proposes the realization of a laryngeal suprasegment that occurs on the first mora of a subset of root morphemes, whose function is to mark two types of prosodic boundaries: a bimoraic limit within the syllable and a syllabic boundary in dissilabic patterns.

Full textAbstract:
The carnivores of Madagascar are likely the least studied of the world's carnivores, thus little is known about threats to their persistence. I provide the first long-term assessment of Madagascar's rainforest carnivore community, including: 1) how multiple forms of habitat degradation (i.e., fragmentation, exotic carnivores, human encroachment, and hunting) affect native and exotic carnivore occupancy; 2) how native and exotic carnivore temporal activity overlap and how body size and niche explain these patterns; 3) how native and exotic carnivores spatially co-occur across the landscape and which variables explain these relationships; and 4) how native and exotic carnivores and humans co-occur with lemurs across Madagascar's largest protected landscape: the Masoala-Makira landscape. From 2008 to 2013 I photographically sampled carnivores and conducted line-transect surveys of lemurs at seven study sites with varying degrees of degradation and human encroachment, including repeat surveys of two sites. As degradation increased, exotic carnivores showed increases in activity and occupancy while endemic carnivore, small mammal, and lemur occupancy and/or activity decreased. Wild/feral cats (Felis sp.) and dogs (Canis familiaris) had higher occupancy (0.37 ± SE 0.08 and 0.61 ± SE 0.07, respectively) than half of the endemic carnivore species across the landscape. Additionally, exotic carnivores had both direct and indirect negative effects on native carnivore occupancy. For example, spotted fanaloka (Fossa fossana) occupancy (0.70 ± SE 0.07) was negatively impacted by both wild/feral cat (beta = -2.65) and Indian civets (beta = -1.20). My results revealed intense pressure from hunting (ex. n = 31 fosa Cryptoprocta ferox consumed per year from 2005-2011 across four villages), including evidence that hunters target intact forest where native carnivore and lemur occupancy and/or activity are highest. I found evidence of high temporal overlap between native and exotic carnivores (ex. temporal overlap between brown-tail vontsira Salanoia concolor and dogs is 0.88), including fosa (Cryptoprocta ferox) avoiding dogs and humans across all seasons. However, I found no evidence of body size or correlates of ecological niche explaining temporal overlap among carnivores. Estimates of spatial co-occurrence among native and exotic carnivores in rainforest habitat revealed strong evidence that native and exotic carnivores occur together less often than expected and that exotic carnivores may be replacing native carnivores in forests close to human settlements. For example, falanouc show a strong increase in occupancy when dogs are absent (0.69 ± SE 0.11) compared to when they are present (0.23 ± SE 0.05). Finally, the two-species interaction occupancy models for carnivores and lemurs, revealed a higher number of interactions among species across contiguous forest where carnivore and lemur occupancy were highest. These various anthropogenic pressures and their effects on carnivore and lemur populations, particularly increases in exotic carnivores and hunting, have wide-ranging, global implications and demand effective management plans to target the influx of exotic carnivores and unsustainable hunting affecting carnivore and primate populations across Madagascar and worldwide.Ph.

Full textAbstract:
'Social development' and 'economic development' are complex concepts, concepts that may be interpreted very differently in different contexts and at different times. Not only may the processes involved be different in different contexts, so too may be the criteria by which success is judged. It is argued here that successive Solomon Islands governments have striven for social and economic development without taking full account of the real nature of Solomon Islands society. What is needed is national development policy, planning and implementation that arise out of, and take fully into account, the historical, geographic and cultural context of Solomon Islands. On the whole, the socio-economic structure of Solomon Islands society is currently underpinned by a tri-partite hierarchy in which, for the majority of Solomon Islanders, kastom (traditional beliefs and practices) and church (the beliefs and practices endorsed by the church) take precedence over the state as legitimate forms of authority. This inevitably poses problems for state-led development. If socio-economic development activities are to be successful in achieving a better quality of life for all Solomon Islanders, including those who live in rural areas, they must take full account of the role of kastom and church in the lives of the people. This must include an understanding of the differing concepts of development of people in different areas of the country such as those of Ulawa islanders that are discussed here. The thesis begins with an introduction to the research (Chapter 1) in which the theoretical framework is located broadly within the postmodern paradigm. In Chapter 2 the essentially qualitative and interpretive nature of the methodology is outlined and explained. Chapter 3 provides a critical review of international development literature in which it is argued that official definitions and descriptions of development are based on production and deficit models. The need to accommodate an indigenous and organic concept of development, one that takes account of the diversity of human experience, is stressed. Chapter 4 provides an outline of Solomon Islands society. Here, the historical narrative is complemented by three metaphors - 'island', wantok and betelnut - which serve to reinforce and explain the nature of Solomon Islands society and the ways in which that society has been shaped by historical processes. Chapter 5 is devoted to a discussion of modern development activity in Solomon Islands, the main focus being on the period immediately preceding and following independence. Chapter 6 explores, with particular reference to Ulawa Island, indigenous concepts of development and the impact of national development activities on rural-dwelling islanders. It also engages the issue of state reform, proposing a model based on a two tier system, with central government in its current form dealing directly with the people at constituency rather than provincial level. Finally, Chapter 7 summarizes the main conclusions reached. It is noted that the failure of both pre- and post-independence governments to take full account of the nature of Solomon Islands society has been a major factor in the lack of effective development in the islands.

Full textAbstract:
Cette thèse porte sur une édition commentée du Livre-oreiller (Makura no sôshi枕草子 ; c. 1000), réalisée par Kitamura Kigin 北村季吟 en 1674 et intitulée Commentaire de l’aurore au printemps (Shunshoshô 春曙抄). Le Livre-oreiller est atypique et hétérogène. Atypique, il ne ressemble à aucune autre œuvre japonaise de la même époque. Hétérogène, il est difficile d’enfermer la diversité de ce qui le compose dans une définition unique, ou de caractériser ce qui pourrait assurer sa cohérence. La biographie de son auteur, désignée par le surnom de « Sei Shônagon » 清少納言, est incertaine. Enfin, les différents manuscrits présentent entre eux des différences profondes.L’objectif de ce travail est de reconstituer la trajectoire qu’a suivie Le Livre-oreiller pour passer du texte — objet écrit se manifestant comme multiple, instable, indéterminé, non interprété — à l’œuvre — entité unique, stable, signifiante et interprétable. Notre postulat est que le Commentaire de l’aurore au printemps constitue un moment décisif dans cette évolution. Le poète Kitamura Kigin, auteur de cette édition commentée, fut un influent commentateur de textes anciens, à une époque caractérisée par le développement du livre imprimé et la démocratisation de l’accès à la connaissance lettrée. Notre travail se situe à la croisée de l’étude littéraire, des études de la réception, et de l’histoire matérielle du livreThis research is about The Spring Dawn Commentary, a commentary edition of The Pillow Book (Makura no sôshi 枕草子 ; c. 1000), written by Kitamura Kigin 北村季吟 in 1674.The Pillow Book is both atypical and heterogeneous. Atypical in that it is not readily comparable to other texts of the same era. Being heterogeneous, it evades attempts to characterize in one single definition all what it is composed of. The life of the author, known as “Sei Shônagon” 清少納言, remains obscure, and ancient manuscripts are extremely diverse in the text they present. The purpose of this study is to observe the course by which The Pillow Book has changed from “text” to “ literary work”. That is, how what was plural, inconstant and uncertain in its meaning became one, constant, meaningful and thus suitable for interpretation. The argument of this research is that The Spring Dawn Commentary played a major role in this process.17th century in Japan was characterized by a rapid development in book printing technology and the book trade, thus enabling the spread of knowledge. In this context, the poet Kitamura Kigin was one of the most respected commentators of ancient literature
