Abstract:
Victor Stiebel (1907–76), in his obituary in The Times, was described as a well known and highly esteemed British couturier. Yet, for the first eighteen years of his life, Stiebel lived unremarkably in Durban, South Africa, with his middle-class colonial family. In an article written by a fashion historian who appraised his importance within the British fashion industry, Stiebel is described as the quintessential English designer. How did this ‘Englishness’ develop and what evidence do we see of this quality in his autobiography South African Childhood (1968) that covers his childhood years? T

Abstract:
The vertical offset and the geopotential value over South Africa is estimated on the four fundamental benchmarks in relation to the international height reference system (IHRS). It is estimated to obtain discrepancies between the South African local vertical datum (W_P) and the global vertical datum (W_0). A single-point-based geodetic boundary value problem (GBVP) approach was used following Molodensky theory for estimating the height anomalies from the disturbing potential (T_P) using Bruns’s formula. The gravity potential at each tide gauge benchmark (TGBM) in South Africa deviates from the

Abstract:
In South Africa, gentrification has a huge impact on the makeup of city spaces where it has been used as a redevelopment tool in order to restore and enhance these spaces. However, socio-economic turmoil is created when development benefits mainly the elite minority whilst marginalising the poor majority, which occurs in many instances of gentrification. In the worst cases, gentrification creates a trickle-up affect whereby the benefits of such a process are felt predominantly by the urban elite. This is evident in this study, where gentrification at the Point Precinct in Durban led to the mar

Abstract:
In the long run, responding to the challenge of climate change is going to require a de-carbonized economy with different energy systems and reconceptualized social-ecological relationships. Given the magnitude of the task, quite how to move in this direction remains a matter of some contention. In this chapter we examine several potentially complementary approaches, though nobody has yet identified the key to transition, and we do not resolve all the big questions about how to proceed. This coverage of a variety of innovations also makes sense in light of the failure to date of established centers of power—be they the global economic system, UNFCCC negotiations, or national governments—to craft effective responses. We group innovations under social resilience, new thinking about economics, new movements that embody this thinking, and new governance. Some developments are incremental, some more radical. These developments give us something more upbeat to end on, showing that transition is already being lived, if only, so far, on the margins of societies. In Chapter 4 we looked at the importance of adaptation, especially in light of current global failure to advance on the mitigation front. Adger et al. (2011a: 757) point out that “adaptive responses are not equal in terms of the sustainability of resource use, energy intensity, reduction of vulnerability, or in the distribution of their benefits.” While the international community has had difficulty in coming to terms with adaptation (even by 2011 the Green Climate Fund adopted at the Durban meeting of UNFCCC covered adaptation but omitted any clear definition of the term), it does hold significant potential. Adaptation does not have to be defeatist, and indeed can be linked to empowerment— we adapt by recognizing “that human beings can protect themselves from damage by living harmoniously with their atmospheric environment” and reduce their vulnerability to climate change (Burton, 1994: 15). In this section we consider how adaptation might contribute to transition. On the academic side, adaptation to environmental change is increasingly understood in terms of the concept of resilience. According to the multinational Resilience Alliance (2013), “A resilient ecosystem can withstand shocks and rebuild itself when necessary.

Abstract: Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas are a rare cause of congestive myelopathy. Symptoms are insidious in onset and may be confused with degenerative spinal disease. MRI characteristically shows edema of the spinal cord with serpiginous flow voids that follow the surface of the spinal cord. Careful evaluation with spinal angiography is required to ensure accurate diagnosis. Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas differ from spinal arteriovenous malformations in that most fistulas have only a single fistulous point without a nidus. Spinal dural arteriovenous fistulas may be treated successfully with either surgical resection or endovascular embolization depending on their anatomy. Earlier treatment is associated with better outcomes.

Abstract:
Teachers are an indispensable part of the debate on the development of critical thinking skills. Much research has centered on examining teachers' critical thinking skills, and on empowering teachers for more effective delivery of critical thinking in instruction (Perkins, 2014; Gardener, 2011; Duron et al, 2006; Abrami et al, 2008, Choy &amp; Cheah, 2009). This chapter examines one of the key forces impacting the global context for critical thinking, teachers and teacher education today: an international mandate for critical thinking as a vital 21st century skill for the effective preparation of citizens and workers for life and work in today's society. The chapter begins with an exploration of the meaning and conceptualization of critical thinking. It then deliberates on how the international mandate for schools and teachers engenders a context for critical thinking in teacher education and considers the need for increased pedagogical support for educators. As a final point, the chapter points to some implications for classroom practitioners and teacher educators of delivering on the demands for critical and reflective workers in 21st century society.

Abstract:
This chapter explains the major lesions of the spinal cord with emphasis on myelopathies, Brown-Sequard syndrome and syringomyelia. Points from the history and examination that aid lesion localization are detailed. Handles for specific disorders are listed, such as spinal dural arteriovenous fistula and claudication. Detail is supplied on infectious myelopathies, in particular recurrent myelopathy and recurrent meningitis. Clues are given that would allow rapid interpretation of cerebrospinal fluid analysis and the causes of a dry spinal tap.

Abstract:
Vascular neurosurgery has long been one of the focal points of neurosurgical practice, and the topic is routinely included in the Oral Board Examination process. Each case involves clinical and diagnostic acumen, a solid grasp of the natural history and treatment risks, consideration of operative approaches, alternative treatment options, and the management of potentially catastrophic complications, as a result of what we have done or what we failed to do. Five cases are discussed in this chapter, and for each case the history and physical symptoms, imaging studies, analyses of the cases and treatment plans, and complications are provided. Key points are also presented after each case. The cases discussed include an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH), an unruptured brain arteriovenous malformation (AVM), an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), a spinal dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF), and symptomatic carotid stenosis.

This chapter expounds on the major lesions of the spinal cord, whether from within the cord or from outside it, with particular emphasis on syringomyelia. Points from the history and examination that aid lesion localization are detailed, together with tips that might lead to a speedy diagnosis. Diagnostic clues for specific disorders are listed, such as spinal dural arteriovenous fistula and claudication. Detail is supplied on infectious myelopathies, in particular recurrent myelopathy and recurrent meningitis. Clues are given that would allow rapid interpretation of cerebrospinal fluid analysis, including high or low cell–protein ratio, cell and protein levels, chronic polymorphonuclear reaction, eosinophilia, and low glucose. The causes of a dry spinal tap are also outlined.

Abstract:
L'expérience de la maladie cancéreuse demeure une épreuve bouleversante tant pour le patient que pour ses proches affectant diverses sphères (psychologique, sociale, affective) et plusieurs aspects de leur vie. La psycho-oncologie constitue aujourd'hui un corpus significatif de connaissances empiriques et cliniques permettant de s'intéresser aux difficultés et problématiques liées à la maladie cancéreuse ainsi qu'aux différentes interventions influençant positivement l'ajustement psychologique du patient ou de ses proches. Les travaux en psycho-oncologie s'intéressent également à l'impact psychologique du cancer où l'on retrouve plusieurs angles cliniques de recherche telle que l'impact du cancer sur la qualité de vie du patient ou de ses proches ou encore l'impact physique, psychologique ou psychiatrique du cancer; ceux-ci pouvant se rencontrer tant dans la phase active des traitements que durant la phase de rémission et de l'après-traitement. Le cancer de l'adulte et de l'enfant se distingue d'un point de vue étiologique, médico-clinique et des protocoles de soins mis en place. Cependant, l'expérience du cancer exige tant chez le patient que chez ses proches un ajustement et un processus continu d'adaptation à la réalité du cancer et de l'après-cancer.

Abstract:
This paper describes investigations into unsteady flow phenomena in a high turning linear cascade with a nominal steady flow. A fast response five hole probe was used to obtain time-accurate measurements. Since a single probe was used to traverse an entire measurement plane, the results were obtained as discrete points and were not synchronous. One method used to address this issue is to traverse the measurement plane point by point and record the signal of a reference probe simultaneously. Synchronization can be performed during post processing by analyzing the reference signal for a common p

This work describes the thermoeconomic study of an integrated combined cycle parabolic trough power plant. The parabolic trough plant will economize boiler activity, and thus the thermoeconomic optimization of the configuration of the boiler, including the parabolic trough plant, will be achieved. The objective is to obtain the optimum design parameters for the boiler and the size of the parabolic field. The proposal is to apply the methodology employed by Duran [1] and Valde´s et. al.

This paper describes how the Intermediate Pressure (IP) turbine model rig of the Rolls-Royce Trent 500 engine was redesigned by applying non-axisymmetric end walls to both the vane and blade passages. The blading aerofoil shapes, the turbine operating point and the overall flow conditions were unaltered from the original design. The results from testing of the model rig are presented and compared with those obtained previously for the datum design. A feature of this is that the IP turbine was tested in a “two-shaft” arrangement with the (upstream) Trent 500 High Pressure (HP) model turbine. Pr

Abstract:
Natural refrigerants have gained significant interest due to environmental reasons. Among different natural refrigerants such as water, air, and ammonia, Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the main candidate to replace commonly used hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants in air-conditioning compressors due to its environmental benefits. One of the main advantages of implementing CO2, from an environmental point of view, lies in its relative low global warming potential (GWP) which is three orders of magnitude lower than commonly used HFC refrigerants. Coupled with the new refrigerants is also the need to u

The probability distribution of the duration of events where the wave height or other metocean parameter X(t) is under or over a specified level X = u is of great importance for the planning of offshore engineering operations. The mean duration, estimated by adding up the durations of the events and dividing by the number of such events, is an often-used measure, but it depends on the recording interval (the time interval between successive measurements). We show that the dependence of the estimated mean dura-tion on the recording interval Δt is related to the behavior of the mean absolute dis
