A doação de obras do espólio de Yolanda Mohalyi apresenta-se como exercício para a compreensão do que representa a aquisição de coleções particulares para a constituição e a organização de um acervo especializado em arte contemporânea. O estudo sobre a incorporação do espólio de Yolanda Mohalyi pode contribuir para uma melhor compreensão sobre o perfil do acervo MAC USP e, principalmente, indicar a importância dos parâmetros adotados nos processos de doação e aquisição de obras de arte em acervos públicos. Através da análise da trajetória de Yolanda Mohalyi e de sua coleção doada ao MAC USP, em 1979 se torna possível identificar questões que envolvem os mecanismos de incorporação de obras, de manutenção das obras e de pesquisa das mesmas, assim como a definição do que se constitui um acervo e uma coleção.<br>The donation of Yolanda Mohalyi\'s legacy shows itself as an exercise for the comprehension of the meaning of the acquisition of private collections to the constitution and organization of a collection specialized in contemporary art. The study of the incorporation of Yolanda Mohalyi\'s legacy can contribute for a better comprehension of the MAC USP collection\'s profile and, above all, indicates the importance of the criteria adopted on the donation and acquisition of works of art in public collections. By analyzing the history of Yolanda Mohalyi and the history of her collection donated to MAC USP in 1979, it is possible to identify issues that involve the mechanisms of incorporation of works of art, their conservation and the research about them, as well as the way a Collection is constituted.

Full textAbstract:
Purpose of Impact Assessments The purpose of Impact Assessments (lAs) is to reconcile society's needs for development with its need to conserve the environment. lA aims to assist planners to devise solutions that are sustainable and equitable, but still efficient. lA falls short In practice, the influence of lA on the planning process has been called into question: its recommendations are not always implemented, and some of its mitigatory measures have been narrow and naive. The gap between lA principles and lA praxis needs to be bridged by more effective procedures. Faulty problem formulation In this dissertation it is mooted that conventional lA , procedures, including the 1992 Integrated Environmental Management procedure, pay inadequate attention to the formulation of problems. There is a danger that lAs may focus on the wrong problem, or may misconstrue the right problem. Weak problem conception may then give birth to less than optimal solutions. Flawed solutions Following the lA for Contract 1000 (access roads to the Mohale Dam), only two alternative solutions were presented to the decision-maker for consideration. Of these, the LCAR is likely to be rejected because it is associated with high risks to the integrity of the biophysical environment, and because it costs M47 million (Malotis) more to construct than does the WAR. By default, the WAR is likely to become the preferred alternative; however it is unable to address some of the fundamental problems in the project area. Selection of the WAR as the access route for transporting materials to the Mohale Dam site "creates" groups of winners and losers in the affected society. In addition, failure to build the LCAR is equivalent to a lost opportunity (ie it represents an opportunity cost) for certain other groups of "losers" [see Table Sl]. The WAR, the best solution that conventional lA could generate, is manifestly a less-than-optimal solution. A problem-solving approach Analyses of the actual procedure followed during the lA for Contract 1000, and of the conventional approach to lA (according to the literature) point to the failure of lA procedures to recognise certain crucial features of environmental problems. lA procedures are not adapted to the dynamism or the complexity of environmental problems, and are not adequately designed to take into account interrrelationships (linkages) among either affected environments or among particular problems. lA is also in danger of becoming divorced from its political ("real world") context. In an attempt to address these failings of lA, a problem-solving approach to lA is developed. The new approach to lA is based on the 1992 IEM procedure, but is supplemented by elements of the natural human problem-solving process [after Miller 1985], and is also informed by Hill and Fuggle's [1990] classification of types and levels of alternatives.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (M. Tech) - Central University of Technology, Free State, 2006<br>The main purpose of this study is to investigate different attributing factors that contribute to the impact of HIV/AIDS on Primary and Secondary education at Mohale’s Hoek in Lesotho.
The fact that about 30% of teachers and close to 170 000 children are shown to be HIV positive, demonstrates the urgent need for an educational based study. This study strives towards elaborating on these key elements by providing recent statistical evidence.
Quantitative research and qualitative research were used in the study. The descriptive research survey method was utilised through the use of questionnaires and interviews, as well as additional data, which were obtained from contributions by school principals and interviews held with Heads of Departments, to portray a holistic view of the research problem.
The tests carried out demonstrate that the HIV/AIDS epidemic can lead to negative school population growth in some areas, a decline in school enrolment and an increase in the drop-out-rate. The literature reviewed also shows that Lesotho is seriously affected by the AIDS pandemic. It is probable that by the year 2010, 30-35% of children will have lost one or both parents and the ability of relatives to keep such children in school, will have become a critical issue.
The results of the statistical analysis indicate that the impact of HIV/AIDS has been a significant factor in primary and secondary enrolment patterns, as well as in the dwindling pool of qualified educators.
The findings of the ANOVA show statistically insignificant differences in all the independent variables; that is, age, gender, level of education and years of experience with respect to the impact of HIV/AIDS on education.
The limitations of the study have been indicated and recommendations have been made. Decisions on the research questions, research aim and objectives have been made, and decisions on the research hypotheses have been reported as well. Recommendations for further studies have been made.

Bibliography: p. 54-57.<br>This report is concerned with the environmental impact assessment of two alternative access roads, the Western Access Route (WAR) and the Least Cost Alternative Route (LCAR), to the proposed Mohale Dam site, Lesotho. The procedure adopted by the Environmental Evaluation Unit (EEU) study team for the assessment of environmental impacts associated with the development of the two routes, is critically reviewed. A comparative evaluation of the alternative routes is undertaken. The preferred access route, which best satisfies the above environmental criteria, is recommended . In January 1993, the Environmental Evaluation Unit (EEU) of the University of Cape Town was appointed by Gibb-Bergman Joint Venture (GBJV), to assess the environmental impacts associated with the development of an access road from the Lesotho-South Africa border to the construction site of the proposed Mohale Dam (Phase lB), Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP), Lesotho. An existing road, termed the Western Access Route (WAR), was identified as a possible access route. This route would require upgrading to a suitable standard for the passage of heavy construction vehicles, and, in addition, the construction of a bypass of the central business district of Maseru . At an early stage of the study, an alternative access route to the WAR was identified from eight possible alternative routes. This route has been termed the Least Cost Alternative Route (LCAR). The EEU study team undertook a full assessment of the environmental impacts associated with upgrading the Mountain Road/Western Access Route (WAR) and the construction of the LCAR. These detailed impact assessments are documented in Report EEU/2/93/104a, EEU/2/93/104b and EEU/2/93/104c, submitted with this report.

The purpose of this document is to set out a comparison of the environmental impacts of the two alternative access roads to the Mohale Dam, Lesotho: the Least Cost Alternative Route (LCAR) and the Western Access Route (WAR), and to recommend a preferred alternative for construction. The analysis and comparison is couched in a theoretical framework with regard to the process, nature and function of Integrated Environmental Management (IEM) and the problems associated with implementation of the IEM process. In this report I1 set out some of the limitations and problems associated with the EIA on the access road to the Mohale Dam (LHDA Contract No 1000). I then discuss the criteria on which a selection of a preferred alternative should be made, focussing on concepts of sustainability (including ecological sustainability), provision of basic human needs, equity and social justice, and cultural diversity and self-realisation. Within the context framed by the limitations of this EIA, the report then compares the LCAR and the WAR, and makes recommendations with regard to a preferred alternative, based on this comparison. The report also provides comments and discussion on a management and monitoring plan for Phase lB of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP).

Bibliography: p. 103-107.<br>Contract No. LHDA (Lesotho Highlands Development Authority) 1000 is the design and construction of the supporting infrastructure for the Mohale Dam, Phase lB of the Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP). The Environmental Evaluation Unit (EEU) of the University of Cape Town (UCT) was employed by GBJV (Gibbs-Bergman Joint Venture), consulting engineers, to conduct the environmental impact assessments for contract No. LHDA 1000. The impact assessments were: * an initial EIA of the Maseru bypass alternatives; * an EIA of two site access roads at the Mohale Dam construction site; * an EIA of the Resident Engineers Camp, and * an EIA of the Least Cost Alternative Route (LCAR) and the Western Access Route (WAR) for the transport of construction materials to the Mohale Dam site. The WAR, which forms part of the existing Mountain Road, was identified as a viable option for the transport of construction materials to the Mohale Dam site. The LCAR was identified from eight alternatives, excluding the WAR, in an initial desk-top study, as a viable route. The WAR proposal involves the upgrading part of existing Mountain Road, which runs in an easterly direction from Maseru, over the Thaba-Putsoa Mountain Range to ThabaTseka. The WAR proposal would upgrade 60 km of this presently degraded road between St. Michael's and Patiseng. The LCAR runs from Maputsoe to Ha Mateka via Teyateyaneng along existing roads. 55 km of new road will be built through the Jorodane Valley from_ Ha Mateka to Mafotholeng (refer to Map 1). Two separate baseline EIA reports were produced for the LCAR and the WAR proposals.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis asks how the Mohajir Quami Mahaz (MQM), transformed itself from an ethnic to a catch-all party. Existing literature heavily emphasizes the MQM’s militancy, while this thesis explores the journey of the party, formed in 1984 to represent Urdu-speakers in Pakistan, through each phase of its development down to its transformation into the Muttahida Qaumi Mahaz (United National Movement) in 1997. The MQM’s process of transformation can be explained theoretically through Kirchheimer’s catch-all party theory. My findings note a shift from an ethno-militant agenda of Mohajir interests to one stressing the need for “national unity” and modernization. It is argued that the party shifted from making choices based on ideology to a strategy-based politics. The MQM, therefore, sought voters outside its traditional constituent base in an effort to gain national appeal. As an urban-based middle-class party, it provides an ideal example of how a party adopts to a changing social environment fractured by military administration, modernity, and political Islam. Therefore, this thesis is the story of the MQM’s journey from mohallah to mainstream.

Full textAbstract:
Ferrochrome (FeCr) is a crude alloy containing chromium (Cr) and iron (Fe). FeCr is mainly used for the production of stainless steel, which is an important modern-day alloy. FeCr is produced from chromite ore through various smelting methods. In this study, the focus was on the pelletised chromite pre-reduction process, which is also referred to as the solid state reduction of chromite. In this process, fine chromite ore, a clay binder and a carbon reductant are dry milled, agglomerated (pelletised) and pre-reduced (solid state reduction) in a rotary kiln. The pre-reduced pellets are then charged hot, immediately after exiting the rotary kiln, into a closed submerged arc furnace (SAF). This production process option has the lowest specific energy consumption (SEC), i.e. MWh/ton FeCr produced, of all the FeCr production processes that are commercially applied. Other advantages associated with the application of the pelletised chromite pre-reduction process are that it eliminates the use of chromite fines, has a high Cr recovery, and produces low sulphur- (S) and silicon (Si)-containing FeCr. The main disadvantage of the pelletised chromite pre-reduction process is that it requires extensive metallurgical control due to the variances in the levels of pre-reduction achieved and carbon content of the pre-reduced pelletised furnace feed material. This implies that the metallurgical carbon balance has to be changed regularly to prevent the process from becoming carbon deficient (also referred to as ‘under coke’) or over carbon (also referred to as ‘over coke’). The analytical technique currently applied to determine the level of chromite pre-reduction is time consuming, making it difficult and expensive to deal with large numbers of samples. In an attempt to develop a technique that would be faster to determine the level of chromite pre-reduction, a new analytical method using a combination of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), image processing and computational techniques was investigated in this study.
Metallurgical grade chromite (<1 mm), anthracite breeze (<1 mm), and fine FeCr (<1 mm) that were used to prepare pellets in the laboratory, as well as industrially produced pre-reduced pellets that had already been milled in preparation for the determination of the pre-reduction level with wet chemical analysis were received from a large South African FeCr producer. These laboratory prepared pellets and the industrially produced pellet mixtures were considered in this investigation. Samples were moulded in resin and polished in order to obtain SEM micrographs of the polished cross sections. Elements with higher molecular weights are indicated by lighter greyscale, while elements with lower molecular weights are indicated by darker greyscale in SEM micrographs. This basic principle was applied in the development of the new analytical technique to determine the level of chromite pre-reduction, with the hypothesis that the pixel count of white pixels (representing metallised particles), divided by the combined pixel count of white (representing metallised particles) and grey (representing chromite particles) pixels would be directly related to the level of chromite pre-reduction determined with the current wet chemical method. This hypothesis can be mathematically expressed as:
The newly-developed analytical method was validated by correlating the white pixel% calculated with the chromite pre-reduction levels (%) determined with wet chemical analysis of laboratory prepared and industrially produced pellet mixtures, which had R2 values of 0.998 and 0.919, respectively. This suggests that the method can be used to determine chromite pre-reduction accurately.<br>MSc (Engineering Sciences in Chemical Engineering), North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2015

Full textAbstract:
An Environmental and Social Impact Assessment (ESIA) is a process that identifies, predicts and
evaluates the potential consequences of proposed development projects. This is in order to improve
project decisions and mitigate adverse environmental and social impacts. Although ESIA may be an
important step towards mitigating the negative environmental and social impacts of development,
ESIA is not a technocratic tool free from subjectivities. Instead, it is embedded in a broader political
context that is shaped by dominant development ideologies and values.
This dissertation explores the ‘development effectiveness’ of ESIAs in large dam projects using the
WCD analytical approach. This approach builds on a rights-and-risks based approach to
understanding the ‘development effectiveness’ of a large dam project. The concept of ‘development
effectiveness’ is however a subjective one (WCD, 2000). As such, the ‘development effectiveness’ of
an ESIA must be evaluated by the stakeholders of a project. In this research report this is undertaken
by evaluating the experiences of those affected by the construction of Mohale Dam in the Kingdom
of Lesotho.
In order to evaluate the experiences of those affected by the construction of Mohale Dam, the
research conducted a total of 38 in-depth interviews. These in-depth interviews took place with 15
key informants who had expert knowledge in the Lesotho Highlands Water Project, ESIAs and the
social impacts of large dams. Added to this a total of 23 in-depth interviews were undertaken with
households directly affected by the construction of Mohale Dam. A majority of these households
were resettled (65%), while the other households (35%) remained in the Project Area but were given
monetary compensation. The interviewed households were randomly selected from three directly
affected villages, two of which were host villages. The villages were purposefully selected to
represent the geographical distribution of affected households. The selected villages comprised Ha
Mohale in the Highlands, Ha Nazareth in the Foothills and Ha Thaba Bosiu in the Lowlands. Ha
Nazareth and Ha Thaba Bosiu comprised the host villages.
These findings show that the Mohale ESIA was not informed by the local context but rather by
definitions of development that prioritised money, individualism and single, instead of multiple
livelihood strategies. As such the Mohale ESIA ignored the cultural and social context within which
the dam was being constructed. This created a situation whereby some of the mitigation measures
were culturally and socially inappropriate. Thus the ‘development effectiveness’ of the Mohale ESIA
was directly compromised by the outcomes of some of the culturally inappropriate mitigation
measures.

Full textAbstract:
M.Sc.<br>The Lesotho Highlands Water Project (LHWP) is bound to adversely affect the ecology of the Orange River system and in particular the highland tributaries. The Senqunyane River (a tributary of the Orange River) would be no exception. Water extraction by means of the proposed Mohale Dam (Phase 1B of LHWP) is expected to alter the downstream habitat of the Senqunyane River, which is alarming as the rare rock catfish (Austroglanis sclateri) occur in these waters. Another concern is the lack of knowledge on the riverine ecology as no research has been conducted in the Senqunyane River downstream from the proposed Mohale Dam wall. In order to gain baseline information on the aquatic habitat, distribution and composition of the fish community as well as habitat parameters of the rock catfish , four surveys (from Spring 1994 to Summer 1996) were conducted in the Senqunyane River, major tributaries and in the Senqu River. This information is needed for future monitoring of downstream alterations to the riverine ecosystem and to determine the habitat preference of A. sclateri. Water quality variables were generally in accordance with the guidelines of Kempster, Hattingh & Van Vliet (1980) and the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry (1993), but excessive levels of un-ionized ammonia and phosphates were recorded at antropogenically disturbed areas. Two distinctly different fish communities were respectively found upstream and downstream from the Semongkoaneng Waterfall as this waterfall serves as a migration barrier. The upstream community consists entirely of Psemlobarbus quathlantbae (Maloti minnow), while the downstream community consists of Barb us amens (Smallmouth yellowfish). Labe() capensis (Orange River mudfish). Austraglanis .cclateri (rock catfish) and Oncorhunchus An ecological investigation of the aquatic vertebrates below the proposed Mohale Darn Wall in the Senqunyane River, Lesotho, with emphasis on the rock catfish (Austroglanis sclateri) al1111111Hry mykiss (Rainbow trout). B. aeneus has the highest-representation within this community while 0. mykiss has the lowest representation. Low numbers of the latter species is probably related to the temperature regime and bottom siltation and therefore the Senqunyane River can be regarded as of a marginal area for the occurrence of trout. A. sclateri also has a low representation within the community which is probably a result of its specific habitat requirements as apposed to 13. aeneus and L. capensis which utilize a wider variety of habitat types. Distinctly different habitat preferences were observed for different A. sclateri lifestages. Recruits preferred backwater pools, juveniles preferred suckles and adults preferred runs. It is clear that juveniles and adults prefer strong current velocities and would probably not do well in conditions of reduced flow. A. sclateri could therefore be regarded as an indicator species in the context of instream flow requirements for the Senqunyane River below the proposed Mohale Dam wall.
