Abstract:
This study contributes towards understanding the complex dynamics that are inherent in the transformation of institutional culture in the higher education environment in South Africa. Innovative use was made of gender-based change as a case study of social transformation in a case institution, the University of Cape Town. A feminist, qualitative approach was used to map gender as a component of institutional culture and to explore how the institution's culture influences the dynamics of gender-based change. A gendered lens was focused on three different sources of data: the leadership discours

Abstract:
Maternal inheritance and the absence of recombination have contributed to mitochondrial deoxyribonucleic acid (mtDNA) being utilised to study human evolution. This, together with an increased mutation rate in mtDNA, provides information about the most recent common ancestor of modern humans. Previous studies suggested that Africa harbours the highest mtDNA diversity, supporting an out-of-Africa hypothesis for modern human evolution. From subsequent studies it was suggested that the Khoi-San population, in particularly the !Kung, cluster at the deepest root of the global phylogenetic tree. The

This includes changing the basic assumptions of individual police officers with regards to the organisation and its environment.
