The people living on the Cape Flats in the Western Cape have been practicing dental modification for a number of years. A systematic survey of eight adjoining areas in the Northern suburbs was done to investigate the prevalence, motivation and possible historical time depth of this practice. The survey was conducted by means of a questionnaire. A total of 2167 individuals participated in this study of which 41 % had modified their teeth. More males (44.8%) than females (37.9%) were involved in this practice. Residential area and pay class had an impact on dental modification practices as the i

Abstract:

Alkali-aggregate reaction, AAR, was first discovered in 1938 by Stanton in the USA. Subsequently, researchers across the globe have reported incidences of the reaction with different aggregates in their respective countries. The reaction entails the interaction between reactive silica found in aggregates and alkali in the pore solution of concrete. Through research, the reaction has been categorised into three main classes depending on the type of aggregate used. Alkali-silica reaction, ASR, being one of those classes, is the most common one and is the primary concern in the local concrete ind

Abstract:

More than four billion of tons of cement are produced annually for construction purposes in the world. This is associated with high production costs and environmental pollution, since cement manufacturing requires fuel to run the processes, and emits carbon dioxide (CO2) during the burning of raw materials. With these problems, the use of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCMs) is found to be an appropriate solution, as it contributes to the reduction of cement used in concrete by partially replacing cement with SCMs. However, a challenge arises as to the availability of SCMs. This is main

Abstract:

Blackwater rivers and lakelets are a common feature of the landscape in the South Western Cape. Contrastingly, white rivers can also be found in the region. Key to the colour of blackwaters is the increased presence of dissolved organic carbon. The vegetation of the regions is known to posses' large amounts of polyphenols and potentially low microbial decomposition. Therefore, are the plant-soil dynamics a possible answer to variation in river colour? To answer this, the chemical correlates of rivers in the region, along with the in vitro leaching of the fynbos vegetation compared to other typ

Abstract:

Ecosystem-based adaptation (EbA) advocates that well-functioning ecosystems are critical for building resilience and supporting society's adaptation to the adverse impacts of climate change. The National Department of Environmental Affairs, Fisheries and Forestry in South Africa has decided to mainstream EbA into its climate response actions, developing a strategy and set of guidelines to steer implementation. However, little work has been done to grasp different actors' perspectives and understandings of EbA, its implementation and how to link EbA to existing related projects and programmes t

Magister Artium - MA<br>The project examined the information seeking behaviour of Generation Y students at the University of the Western Cape (UWC). The Internet has evidently become an integral part of this generation’s everyday life. The contributing factor to this is that Generation Y has been brought up in a high technology society. The Internet in conjunction with information and communication technology tools is used by Generation Y for different purposes during information seeking. Internet can be used for communication, acquiring information sources or as channels for disseminating inf

Abstract:

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 101-113).<br>Seven decades ago, the pre-eminent limnologist, Miss Edith Stephens described the Cape Flats as "a paradise for the aquatic biologist". At that time the area was characterised by numerous temporary or seasonal wetlands that filled and dried in concert with the seasons. Since Miss Stephen's observations, the number of seasonal wetlands on the Cape Flats has dwindled alarmingly and very few remain. This dissertation attempts to account for this and provide guidance for the management of the remaining seasonal wetlands. The dissertation sho

Thesis (MPhil) -- Stellenbosch University, 2004.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Background: Cloning is a topic that has long fascinated people. It has imbedded itself into popular culture, but studies show that the general public has, at best, only a vague understanding of what cloning entails. Alternatively, their perception has been skewed by that very same popular culture. However, cloning is a complex scientific subject that has considerable ethical implications. It is the kind of topic that people in a deliberate democracy should know about. The media play an important role in the education

Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2015<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT : It has been suggested that the complex needs of children with neurodevelopmental disorders are best addressed with a family-centred approach. As this approach has been increasingly incorporated into healthcare systems over recent years, most children with disabilities are now able to remain at home as opposed to living in institutions or group homes. Many parents have thus been forced to adopt the role of a primary caregiver for their child that has been diagnosed with a disability or chronic condition. This study aimed to inves
