Abstract:
The blister beetle (Coleoptera: Meloidae) fauna of Namibia is studied. The species are arranged within a catalogue containing information on their general distribution, including a list of localities and brief taxonomic remarks. Zoogeographic and ecological analyses were carried out and a photographic appendix, with images and maps of almost all Namibian species, is included. According to a chorological analysis, the Namibian blister beetle fauna appears to be zoogeographically distinct because of the dominance of western southern African elements. The faunistic levels of similarity among distinct areas in Namibia are also analysed. Several of the endemic species are related to the xeric ecosystems referable to the Namib Desert, Succulent Karoo and Nama Karoo biomes, but the highest diversity is related to the ecosystems referable to the Savannah biome. A total of 148 species belonging to 28 genera, eight tribes and three subfamilies (Eleticinae, Meloinae, Nemognathinae) are recorded from this southern African country. Five new genera (Namibeletica gen. nov., Eleticinae Eleticini; Dilatilydus gen. nov. and Desertilydus gen. nov., Meloinae Lyttini; Paramimesthes gen. nov. and Namylabris gen. nov, Meloinae Mylabrini) and a total of 13 new species are described: 11 new species from Namibia (Psalydolytta gessi sp.nov., Paramimesthes namibicus sp.nov., Namylabris adamantifera sp.nov., Hycleus arlecchinus sp.nov., H. planitiei sp.nov., H. dvoraki sp.nov., H. aridus sp.nov., H. san sp.nov., Nemognatha fluviatilis sp.nov., “Zonitoschema” deserticola sp.nov., Zonitoschema dunalis sp.nov.); a new Namibeletica from the Angolan Namib (N. angolana) and a new Afrolytta Kaszab, 1959 from the S African Namaqualand (A. namaqua), both close to Namibian borders. Fourty-eight species and the genus Apalus Fabricius, 1775 are recorded for the first time from Namibia, and a few other species from South Africa (1), Zambia (1), Botswana (1) and Congo (1). The following new synonymies are proposed: Lytta pleuralis var. inpleuralis Pic, 1911 = Lydomorphus (Lydomorphus) thoracicus (Erichson, 1843), syn. nov.; Lytta benguellana Pic, 1911 = Prionotolytta melanura (Erichson, 1843), syn. nov.; Actenodia amoena ssp.anthicoides Kaszab, 1955b = Hycleus amoenus (Marseul, 1872), syn. nov.; Decapotoma csikii Kaszab, 1953 = Hycleus benguellanus (Marseul, 1879), syn. nov.; Nemognatha capensis Péringuey, 1909 = Nemognatha peringueyi Fairmaire, 1883, syn. nov. Several new combinations in the genus Hycleus Latreille, 1817 are also established.

Abstract:
The Gompertz equation was used to compute growth curves for three groups of ostriches (Struthio camelus), from Oudtshoorn in South Africa, the Namib desert in Namibia and from Zimbabwe. All were reared under typical intensive farm conditions with ad libitum feeding. There were no significant differences in mature mass between regions but the maximum daily weight gain for males occurred later (day 163) for Oudtshoorn birds, compared with day 121 for Namibian and day 92 for Zimbabwean. Oudtshoorn females reached maximum rate of gain on day 175 compared with day 115 for Namibian and day 114 for Zimbabwean. Comparisons might prove important when planning programmes for the genetic improvement of commercial flocks, but possible influences of food composition and environment should be investigated.

Abstract:
SOMMAIRE Une approche "par systèmes" de la politique linguistique: le cas de la Namibie L'Afrikaans (l'une des deux langues officielles de la République Sud-Africaine) est employé comme langue officielle et comme lingua fianca en Namibie. Après l'indépendance de la Namibie, l'anglais (qui est parlé par moins de 5% de la population) deviendra la nouvelle langue officielle. L'un des objectifs principaux de cette politique linguistique (ou planning linguistique) est de réunir les diverses races et communautés linguistiques de la Namibie en une seule entité nationale. Le problème le plus évident qui se pose à ce programme est celui de savoir comment faire accéder la population à l'anglophonie le plus rapidement possible, avec les fonds disponibles et sans détruire les langues indigènes. Les approches traditionnelles en planning linguistique se concentrent principalement sur des problèmes d'ordre linguistique, au point d'occulter les variables non-linguistiques essentielles qui pourraient contribuer à étendre et à entretenir une variété. Cet article propose une approche "par systèmes" qui remplacerait la métaphore de la structure par la métaphore du réseau et qui permettrait au planificateur linguistique de percevoir les rapports entre son plan et les autres forces à l'oeuvre dans la société. Par exemple, le rôle des professionnels du langage dans la mise en oeuvre de la politique linguistique namibienne s'en trouverait accentué. Au demeurant, l'unité nationale ne s'obtient pas grâce au seul planning linguistique, mais également par d'autres moyens politiques. RESUMO Sistemika aliro al lingvoplanado: la kazo de Namibio La afrikansa (unu el la oficialaj lingvoj de la Respubliko Sudafriko) estas uzata kiel oficiala lingvo kaj kiel interlingvo en Namibio. Post la namibia sendependigo, la angla (kiun parolas kiel gepatran lingvon malpli ol kvin procentoj de la enlogantoj) farigos la nova oficiala lingvo. Unu el la cefaj celoj de tiu lingva plano estas unuecigi la diversajn rasojn kaj parolkomunumojn de Namibio en unu nacian enton. Evidente la plej granda lingvoplanada problemo estos decidi kiel enkonduki al la enloĝantaro la anglan lingvon per plej granda rapideco, kaj kiel fari ĉion ĉi per limigitaj financaj rimedoj sen detrui la indiĝenajn lingvojn. Tradiciaj aliroj al lingvoplanado koncentrigas je lingvaj problemoj kaj tial ne identigas la decidajn nelingvajn variablojn, kiuj povus helpi disvastigi kaj konservi difinitan idiomon. La aŭtoro proponas sistemikan aliron al la demando, en kiu reta metaforo anstataŭas strukturan metaforon kaj ebligas, ke la lingvo-plananto rimarku la rilatojn inter sia plano kaj aliaj sociaj fortoj. La aŭtoro ekzemple emfazas la rolon de la lingvaj profesioj en realigo de la namibia lingva plano. Cetere, nacian unuecon oni atingos ne nur per lingvoplanado, sed ankaŭ per aliaj rimedoj.

Abstract:
Abstract—Acanthaceae represent one of the most ecologically dominant families of plants in the Namib Desert and adjacent portions of Namibia and Angola yet have never been comprehensively treated from a taxonomic perspective in the region. Recent fieldwork in Angola yielded discovery of two populations of plants, morphologically allied to the tribe Ruellieae, that could not be ascribed to any known genus. Morphological study combined with molecular phylogenetic analysis based on ddRAD sequencing that sampled broadly across other lineages of Ruellieae yielded evidence for a new, previously undocumented lineage of Acanthaceae, which we here formally describe under the monotypic Mcdadea. Plants of M. angolensis are characterized as compact, weak-wooded shrubs with dense vegetation, minute corollas, and small, 2-seeded capsules. The species is restricted to limestone mesas and outcroppings in ultra-arid deserts of Namibe Province, southwestern Angola, where plants rely primarily on coastal fog for precipitation. Although highly range-restricted, there are no known threats to this species and it is currently assessed as of Least Concern. Molecular phylogenetic analyses suggest treatment of Mcdadea angolensis within a newly described subtribe of Ruellieae: Mcdadeinae. Additional revisions to subtribal classification are herein presented, including placement of Calacanthus within Ruelliineae, placement of Echinacanthus within Petalidiinae, and description of two additional new subtribes, Dinteracanthinae and Phaulopsinae.

Abstract:
I recently spent 6 months in Namibia as a Fellow of the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation. The purpose of my visit was twofold: the establishment of a database for trauma-related mental health disorders and the development of a validated, self-report screening instrument for mental illness. In the process, I was able to meet with Namibian colleagues and visit a number of health care centres in the country. This article will focus on my impressions of psychiatry in Namibia that were formed during my visit. A brief summary of Namibian history, in particular the country's relations with neighbouring South Africa, will help place my observations in a more meaningful context.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Geological remote sensing is a powerful tool for lithological discrimination, especially in arid regions with minimal vegetative cover to obscure rock exposures. Commercial multispectral imaging satellites provide a broad spectral range with which to target specific rock types. Landsat ETM+ (7), ASTER, and SPOT 5 multispectral images were acquired and digitally processed: band ratioing, principle components analysis, and maximum likelihood supervised classification. The sensors were evaluated on the ability to discriminate between sedimentary rocks in a structurally complex setting. The study focusses on the formations of the Naukluft Nappe Complex, Namibia. Previous work of the area had to be consulted in order to identify the main target rock types. Dolomite, limestone, quartzite, and shale were determined to make up the majority of rock types in the area. Landsat, ASTER, and SPOT 5 imagery were acquired and pre-processed. Each was subjected to transform techniques: band ratios and PCA. Band ratios were tailored to highlighted target rock types as well as a number of control ratios to ensure the integrity of important ratios. PCA components were inspected to find the most useful ones which were combined into FCCs. Transform results, expert knowledge, and a geological map were consulted to identify training and accuracy samples for the supervised classifications. All three classifications made use of the same set of training and accuracy samples to facilitate useful comparisons. Transform results were promising for Landsat and ASTER images, while SPOT 5 struggled. The limited spectral resolution of SPOT 5 limited its use for identifying target rock types, with the superior spatial resolution contributing very little. Landsat benefitted from good spectral resolution. This allowed for good performance with highlighting limestone and dolomite, while being less successful with shale. Quartzite was a real problem as the spectral resolution of Landsat could not cover this range as well. ASTER, having the highest spectral resolution, could distinguish between all four target rock types. Landsat and ASTER results suffered in areas where formations were relatively thin (smaller than sensor spatial resolution). The supervised classification results were similar to the transforms in that both Landsat and ASTER provided useful results, while SPOT 5 failed to yield definitive results. Accuracy assessment determined that ASTER performed the best at 98.72%. Landsat produced an accuracy of 93.29% while SPOT 5 was 80.17% accuracy. Landsat completely overestimated the amount of quartzite present, while all results classified significant proportions Quaternary sediments as shale. Limestone was well represented in even the poorest results, while dolomite usually struggled in areas where it was in close association with quartzite. Silica yields relatively strong responses in the TIR spectrum which could lead to misclassification of dolomite, which also has strong TIR signatures.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Geologiese afstandswaarneming is 'n kragtige tegniek vir litologiese diskriminasie, veral in droë streke met minimale plantbedekking om dagsome te verduister. Kommersiële multispektrale satelliete beelde bied 'n breë spektrale reeks waarmee spesifieke gesteentetipes geteiken kan word. Landsat ETM + (7), ASTER, en SPOT 5 multispektrale beelde was bekom en digitaal verwerk: bandverhoudings, hoofkomponente-ontleding, en maksimum waarskynlikheid klassifikasie. Die sensors is geëvalueer op hul vermoë om te onderskei tussen sedimentêre gesteentes in 'n struktureel komplekse omgewing. Die studie fokus op die formasies van die Naukluft Dekblad Kompleks, Namibië. Vorige werk van die area was geraadpleeg om die hoofgesteentetipes te identifiseer. Dit was bepaal dat dolomiet, kalksteen, kwartsiet, en skalie die oorgrote meerderheid van kliptipes in area opgemaak het. Landsat, ASTER, en SPOT 5 beelde is verkry en voorverwerk. Elke beeld was onderwerp aan transformasietegnieke: bandverhoudings en hoofkomponente-ontleding. Bandverhoudings is aangepas om teiken rotstipes uit te lig asook 'n aantal kontrole bandverhoudings om die integriteit van belangrike verhoudings te verseker. Hoofkomponente-ontleding komponente is ondersoek om die mees bruikbares te vind en dié was gekombineer in valse kleur samestellings. Transformasie resultate, deskundige kennis, en 'n geologiese kaart was geraadpleeg om opleidings- en verwysingsmonsters was verkry vanaf die beelde vir die klassifikasies. Al drie klassifikasies gebruik gemaak van dieselfde stel van die opleiding- en akkuraatheidsmonsters om sodoende betekenisvolle vergelykings te verseker. Transformasie resultate is belowend vir Landsat en ASTER beelde, terwyl SPOT 5 minder bruikbaar was. Die noue spektrale resolusie van SPOT 5 beperk die gebruik daarvan vir die identifisering van teiken gesteentetipes terwyl die hoë ruimtelike resolusie baie min bydra. Landsat het voordeel getrek uit goeie spektrale resolusie. Dit goeie resultate opgelwer met die klem op kalksteen en dolomiet, terwyl skalie aansienlik swakker resultate opgelewer het. Kwartsiet was 'n werklike probleem omdat die spektrale resolusie van Landsat nie breed genoeg was om hierdie kliptipe te onderskei nie. ASTER, met die hoogste spektrale resolusie, kon onderskei tussen al vier teiken rotstipes. Landsat en ASTER resultate was baie negatief beïnvloed in gebiede waar formasies relatief dun was (kleiner as sensor ruimtelike resolusie). Die klassifikasie resultate was soortgelyk aan die transformasies in dat beide Landsat en ASTER nuttige resultate opgelewer het, terwyl SPOT 5 misluk het. Akkuraatheids assessering het bepaal dat ASTER die beste gevaar het met 98,72%. Landsat het 'n akkuraatheid van 93,29% opgelewer, terwyl SPOT 5 80,17% akkuraat was. Landsat het die hoeveelheid kwartsiet heeltemal oorskat, terwyl al die resultate groot hoeveelhede Kwaternêre sedimente as skalie geklassifiseer het. Kalksteen is goed verteenwoordig in tot die armste resultate, terwyl resultate gewoonlik afgeneem het waar dolomiet in noue verband met kwartsiet was. Dit is moontlik asgevolg van silika se relatiewe sterk reaksies in die termiese infra-rooi spektrum wat kan lei tot die foutiewe klassifisering met dolomiet (wat ook sterk reageer in die TIR spektrum).

Abstract:
Många av jordens fattigaste människor lever på landsbygden och är beroende av småskaligt jordbruk för sin överlevnad. Förenta nationerna anser att det är en nyckelfaktor att öka produktiviteten hos jordbruken för att minska undernäringen i världen. Under det senaste årtiondet har den akademiska litteraturen gjort framsteg kring produktutveckling för utvecklingsländer men det är fortfarande få studier om hur den bör genomföras. Målet med detta examensarbete är att redogöra för vilka framgångsfaktorer som bör beaktas vid produktutveckling för människor på landsbygden i utvecklingsländer.Den empiriska datan baseras på ett produktutvecklingsprojekt i norra Namibia samt intervjuer med experter inom området. Projektet genomfördes som ett Minor Field Study projekt, sommaren 2016, genom passiva och aktiva fältstudier. Eftersom mycket av den befintliga teorin är generell, analyseras den för hur väl den kan appliceras i Namibia. Examensarbetet resulterade i två kategorier av framgångsfaktorer, projektets organisation och produktdesign. Den första kategorin listar framgångsfaktorer för hur ett lokalt produktutvecklingsprojekt bör organiseras. Den andra kategorin listar framgångsfaktorer kopplade till själva produkten. Genom att redogöra för dessa syftar den här rapporten till att vara ett stöd för småskaliga produktutvecklingsprojekt för Namibias landsbygd utförda av icke-namibiska företag eller organisationer.Intressanta slutsatser är att rekommendationer för tillverkning skiljer sig från vad som rekommenderats i tidigare litteratur. En analys är att det grundar sig i det småskaliga perspektivet som är påtvingat av Namibias låga populationstäthet. För att styrka rapportens slutsatser bör ytterligare studier inom småskalig produktutveckling för landsbygden i utvecklingsländer genomföras.
Many of the poorest people on earth live in rural areas and are dependent on small-scale farming for their survival. The United Nations sees it as key to improve the productivity of these farms in order to reduce undernourishment in the world. Even though the literature has taken a big step forward on product development for developing countries during the past decade, there are still few studies on how to develop products for this specific group. This master thesis aims to state the success factors when developing products for people living in rural areas of Namibia.The empirical data is based on a product development project in northern Namibia as well as interviews with experts within the area. The product development project was carried out as a Minor Field Study during the summer of 2016 and the authors of this report spent two months in Namibia conducting both passive and active field studies. Since much of the existing literature claims to be general, this thesis starts off by analysing the existing literature to see how it applies in the Namibian context. The literature study together with the empirical findings are then formed into two categories of success factors when developing products for rural Namibia. The first category, project organisation, lists the success factors for how to set up a local product development project as a non-Namibian company or organisation. The second category, product design, lists the success factors linked to the actual product. By stating these success factors this thesis aims to be a support for small scale development projects carried out by a non-Namibian company or organisation targeting rural Namibia.Interesting findings are that the recommended production methods differ from what is recommended in previous literature. This report argues that the reason for this is the small scale perspective forced by Namibia’s low population density in contrast to India’s, from where most of the existing literature originates. This raise the need for further studies on small scale product development projects in rural areas to validate the findings of this report.

Previously undescribed fossils of weakly calcified metazoans were recently discovered in the terminal Proterozoic Nama Group of central and southern Namibia (Grotzinger et al., 1995), in sediments that contain the terminal Proterozoic index fossil Cloudina. The new fossils are closely associated with thrombolites and stromatolites that form laterally continuous biostromes, isolated patch reefs, and isolated pinnacle reefs. Because these fossils are preserved as calcitic void-fill in a calcite matrix, individual specimens cannot be freed by conventional techniques. Rocks containing the fossils are ground and digitally photographed at thickness intervals of 25 pm. A battery of image processing techniques is used to obtain the contour outlines of the fossils in serial cross sections. A Delaunay triangulation method is then used to reconstruct the morphology from tetrahedral components which connect the contours in adjacent layers. It is found that most of the fossils resemble a single morphology with some well-defined characters that vary slightly among individual specimens. This fossil morphology is described in this thesis as Namacalathus hermanastes. A mathematical description of the morphology is used to obtain a database of randomly-oriented synthetic cross sections. This database reproduces the vast majority of cross sections observed in outcrop. In addition, the most common orientation, the mean size, and other population statistics are measured for Namacalathus fossils within an individual rock sample.

Abstract:
>Magister Scientiae - MSc
Salt pans are a characteristic feature of many dry deserts. The microbial communities inhabiting salt pans are thought to be particularly complex and are generally dominated by halophilic microorganisms. Although saline pools are frequently found within the hyper-arid Namib Desert, the microbial communities of these saline sites have been scarcely investigated. The aim of the present study was to characterise the archaeal, bacterial and cyanobacterial diversity inhabiting these extreme saline pools using three culture independent molecular techniques (DGGE, T-RFLP and 16S rRNA clone libraries). The physiochemical results, mainly the conductivity readings recorded from the sampling sites, indicated that the Gobabeb (103.0mS/cm) region was less saline than the two Swakopmund [(Sps01) (150.0mS/cm) and Sps02 (180.0mS/cm)] sites. Results obtained from DGGE and T-RFLP data were in agreement for both bacterial and cyanobacterial analysis indicating that the Gobabeb site was more diverse than the two Swakopmund sites (Sps01 and Sps02). In comparison, the archaeal community profiles for DGGE and T-RFLP analysis were in agreement illustrating that the archaeal community were more abundant in the two extreme Swakopmund saline sites. Phylogenetic data obtained from 16S rRNA gene clone libraries identified halophilic phylotypes (Rhodothermaceae, Idiomarinaceae Puniceicoccaceae and Cyanobacteria/Chloroplast, Family VII) normally associated with salt rich sites. In addition, a large number of unclassified taxa were identified. To conclude, the study highlighted the presence of a rich microbial diversity present within the salt pans of the Namib Desert and establishes a platform for future investigations.

Abstract:
Fog is a key source of moisture to the diverse coastal Namib Desert biota, delivering five times more moisture than rain. Apart from the importance of fog as a source of water for plants, it is also associated with particulates that may contain essential nutrients for plants. Furthermore, dry deposition can be an important input of nutrients to many ecosystems, but without water, dust deposited on leaves or on soil is inaccessible for plant uptake. In other studies of coastal ecosystems (e.g. Strandveld), it has been found that this combined deposition of nutrients represents a major source of nutrients to terrestrial ecosystems. In the case of the Namib Desert, the range of Arthraerua leubnitziae is limited to those areas where fog occurs. This study was carried out at five meteorological stations in the gravel plains of the Namib Desert, along an east-west transect increasing in elevation inland. I hypothesised that marine-derived deposition contributes to moisture and nutrient supply of Arthraerua leubnitziae, an endemic shrub restricted to the fog zone of the central Namib Desert, and consequently determines its distribution. To test this hypothesis, two sub-hypotheses were developed and tested independently. The first sub-hypothesis was that fog contributed to the distribution range of A. leubnitziae in the central Namib Desert and the second was that fog deposition has a significant potential to supply moisture and nutrients to A. leubnitziae in the central Namib Desert. To test the first sub-hypothesis, I measured fog and rain volume, and plant morphological characteristics at the five sites. In addition, a fog map was derived using climatic variables from the five sites and used with climate and edaphic variables in MaxEnt model of the probability of occurrence of A. leubnitziae. The occurrence of A. leubnitziae was found to coincide with areas with high fog occurrence with fog contributing 36% to the modelled distribution of A. leubnitziae alongside precipitation, elevation and isothermality. In order to test the second sub-hypothesis, I measured nutrients deposited in fog water derived from wet and dry deposition (Ca, K, Mg, Na, Cl, Br, NO₃, PO₄ and SO₄) and plant essential nutrients in plant and soil samples (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Cu and Zn). I also determined the nutrient uptake by stems of A. leubnitziae. During the period of Sep 2015 to Aug 2016, fog provided 92% of the yearly water input across the study sites. Over the course of the sampling cycle, the total annual nutrient content of fog and dust was dominated by Ca and Na. Most of the nutrients (K, Mg, Na, and S) were of marine origin. However, Ca enrichment factors (relative to seawater) were higher than 1, suggesting an input from dust. A. leubnitziae was found to be able to directly intercept and absorb some of the nutrients in the dust and fog via their stems. Even though plant and soil nutrients did not match each other, a contribution to plant nutrition from dust and fog was evident. The low nutrient concentrations in the soils of the Namib Desert and significant inputs from dust and fog suggests deposition is an important source of nutrients for A. leubnitziae. Although work is still required to better understand the importance of fog water uptake for nutrient provision, I have identified that water, nutrients and environmental stress alleviation should not be considered separately in studying the role of fog as a determinant of plant distributions.

Abstract:
This paper describes a new concept and experiences of a distributed interdisciplinary learning programme for students across continents. The aim is to provide students with a truly Global Intercultural Project Experience (GIPE) by working together with peers from around the world, and solving real-life client’s problems. We have received seed-funding for four annual projects to engage students from Germany (Europe), Namibia (Africa), Indonesia (Asia), and Peru (Latin-America). In 2020, 30 students from four continents engaged in a one-semester distributed software development project for a Namibian client. Despite Covid-19 they successfully completed the project expressing deep appreciation for the learning opportunities overcoming challenges of working across wide-spread time zones, cultures, changing requirements, and various technical challenges. Considering the vast learning benefits, we suggest to incorporate such projects in all tertiary education curricula across the globe.
