Full textAbstract:
The Bronco Chase and arrest of O.J. Simpson for the murder of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson and her friend, Ronald Goldman, and his subsequent criminal trial became one of the most captivating, mass-mediated events of the last decade of the twentieth century. Simpson's iconic celebrity status and his race as an African-American inflamed the notoriety of the crime. An insatiable spectatorial desire for Simpson and narratives concerning his alleged involvement in the Brentwood murders engulfed the American public and American culture for thirty-two months. An excessive scrutiny of his identity by the media, law and order professionals and the populace generated a racially charged discursive cacophony. The memoir Simpson published during his remand to raise funds for his defense expenses, I Want to Tell You: My Response to Your Letters, Your Messages, Your Questions, allows for a productive critical study of everyday rhetoric and the commodity fetishism of celebrity. Released in late January 1995, during the first week of the prosecution's opening statements in the criminal trial, I Want to Tell You was Simpson's first public comment following the nationally televised reading of his suicide note and his spectacular arrest on June 17, 1994. The intercalation of Simpson's narrative utterance with 108 of the more than three hundred thousand letters he received from June to December 1994 as Los Angeles County Jail inmate 4013970 is a practical manifestation of the use value and exchange value of fame. The reciprocity of the epistolic, the phatic demands of address, the etiquette of fan mail and hate mail, the gift of the written text, vulnerable and resonant, reveal an adherence to the symbiotic dynamic of the celebrity-fan, writer-reader, dyadic relation and its currency. Plying his trade as idol of consumption, as spectacle, as genre, Simpson capitalised on the cultural condition of his name and his face as objects of desire. The racialised flesh of Simpson's African-American male body became a site and a sight for narrative and inscription within a pay-per-view marketplace of reification, prosopopoeia, gazeability and criminality.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis examines the O.J. Simpson murder trial and analyzes the racial narratives that affected its outcome and the way it is perceived by the American public. By examining four books about the trial written by lawyers who served on the case, the analysis focuses on how race functions within each of the reconstructed narratives, as well as within the framework of the U.S. criminal justice system. The author argues that racial narratives affect how and why people can see the same event differently, a prime example of which is the O.J. Simpson murder trial. Representations of Mark Fuhrman, his role in the O.J. Simpson trial, and how these are affected by racial narratives are also discussed. The author concludes that the O.J. Simpson murder trial presented an opportunity in which issues concerning race, race relations, and ideologies about race could be openly discussed.

Full textAbstract:
Au cours des années 1820-1830, l’ironie romantique a contribué à élargir le champ de la prose et de la langue littéraires, en se modelant sur une situation de communication orale puis en adoptant le ton de la lettre intime. Les figures de l’ironie romantique telles que la métalepse, l’auteur-narrateur tout-puissant ont servi à la fois de laboratoire pour la formation d’une langue littéraire et de schémas narratifs adaptés aux exigences de l’époque, de tribune aux réflexions sur le destin et le contenu de la prose littéraire russe, et d’« incubateur » pour le nouveau lecteur, en créant des lecteurs-interlocuteurs fictifs. Le corpus comprend : Gajdamak (1826-1827) d’O.M. Somov ; Rukopis’ […] Xabarova (1828) de P.L. Jakovlev ; Ispytanije (1830), Večer na kavkazskix vodax v 1824 godu (1830) et Strašnoe gadanie (1831) d’A.A. Bestužev-Marlinskij ; Strannik (1831-1832) d‘A.F. Vel’tman ; Pestrye skazki (1833) de V.F. Odoevskij ; Fantastičeskie putešestvija barona Brambeusa (1833), Bol’šoj vyxod u Satany (1834) et Teorija obrazovannoj besedy (1835) d’O.I. Senkovskij. La haute conscience intertextuelle des œuvres, leur poétique du jeu métaleptique, leur ambition encyclopédique et métalittéraire ont exprimé les processus qui transformaient la littérature russe de l’intérieur (références à Karamzin, Žukovskij, Puškin, Gogol’) et de l’extérieur (la littérature européenne). L’ironie romantique a donc permis l’évolution consciente et accélérée de la littérature russe vers le roman en prose et le réalisme du second XIXe siècle. Elle apparaît comme un phénomène de mode, mais aussi comme une source d’inspiration pour les théories formaliste et bakhtinienne, et pour le postmodernisme russeBetween 1820 and 1840, Romantic irony has contributed to widen the spectrum of Russian literary prose and language, fashioning itself after a situation of oral communication, then adopting the tone and structure of the intimate letter. Figures of Romantic irony such as the reader-conversationalist, the author as sole master, the metalepsis, served not only as a laboratory for the formation of a literary language and narrative plots adapted to contemporary demands, but also as a tribune for debates on the fate and content of Russian literary prose, and as an incubator for the new reader. Works such as Gajdamak (1826-1827) by O.M. Somov, Rukopis’ […] Xabarova (1828) by P.L. Jakovlev, Ispytanije (1830), Večer na kavkazskix vodax v 1824 godu (1830) and Strašnoje gadanije (1831) by A.A. Bestužev-Marlinskij , Strannik (1831-1832) by A.F. Vel’tman, Pestryje skazki (1833) by V.F. Odojevskij, Fantastičeskije putešestvija barona Brambeusa (1833), Bol’šoj vyxod u Satany (1834) and Teorija obrazovannoj besedy (1835) by O.I. Senkovskij, show a vivid self-consciousness, a widely shared concern for intertextuality and common poetics involving metaleptic games, encyclopaedic ambition. These reveal the transformation of Russian literary prose, working simultaneously from within (Karamzin, Žukovskij, Puškin, Gogol’) and from outside. Romantic irony in Russian literary prose therefore allowed a conscious and rapid evolution of Russian literature toward the novel in prose and the realism of the second XIXth century. Thus, Romantic irony appears not only as a fashion, but also as a distant source of inspiration for Formalist and Bakhtinian theories, and for postmodernist literature

The purpose of this study is to examine the popular cultural form of television within the field of gender studies. The study focuses on the representation of masculinities in the American television series The O.C. This is done by using textual analysis to gain information from the first and the second season of The O.C. The theoretical framework used is based on Judith Butler and R.W. Connell. The result of the study is that The O.C. can be said to show that alternative masculinities are less worthy and lower in the hierarchy. Another result is that the series is heteronormative.

Tayler, Paul J. "Problems of scale : an O.R./systems approach." Thesis, University of Warwick, 1990. http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/58810/.
Full textAbstract:
The history of analyses of scale and the conventional reductionist methodology are briefly recounted in the first chapter of the thesis. A detailed examination is then made of the theory of economies of scale and its development since the days of Adam Smith. A comprehensive survey shows that the description provided by conventional economic theory is quite unrealistic, and has been dictated by the demands of Neoclassical ideas of equilibrium. It is shown that the available empirical evidence does not easily allow conclusions to be drawn about the optimal scale of plants or enterprises. A simple simulation model then demonstrates that static economies of scale alone are insufficient to determine "optimal" scale - dynamic diseconomies depend upon environmental context and uncertainties of forecasting future demand. The question of technological change is closely bound up with issues of scale. The principle of bounded rationality is applied to deduce some conditions about the nature of technical change using Heiner's "Reliability Condition". The existence of "technological heuristics" (such as a bias in favour of scale-augmenting innovations) is predicted. The argument is illustrated with the use of a computer simulation of successive process innovations in a stylised chenical plant. Conflicting ideas about "optimal" scale in electricity generation, papermaking, brewing and cement manufacture are examined. These views are found to be explicable by borrowing the theory of fourfold cultural bias from the field of social anthropolgy. An Evolutionary Model of Increasing Returns (EMIR) is developed as a computer simulation. This model demonstrates that the restrictions imposed by conventional economic theory can be overcome in a dynamic economic model; economies of scale and technical change are married with plural rationalities to provide a range of findings on industry structure. Market share is found to be a more important determinant of industrial success than economies of scale. EMIR is used to demonstrate the phenomenon of technological "Lock-In"; important policy choices may be determined by small random events as critical points. Market selection mechanisms cannot be relied upon to optimise, whether in scale decisions or other important policy choices. The thesis concludes with a discussion of the use of plural models to go with plural rationalities in the analysis of policy issues.

The ambition of this project is to make an overview of the Swedish upholstery industry and to make a suitable complement to the Carl Malmsten upholstery collection.
The Swedish furniture industry employs about 20 000 people in 815 companies. Totally the branch had a turnover of 17,5 billion Swedish krona in the year 2000. Of these 815 companies most of them are small family driven companies with low-tech industry. 10 % of the 815 companies stand for 60% of the production. These are large-scale companies and have a hi-tech industry, even compared with other types of industries. Approximately 25% of the Swedish made furniture is being exported.
The upholstery industry is spread over the country but mainly concentrated to the south of Sweden, Småland. After conversations with seven chosen upholstery companies in Tibro and Tranås area I discovered that the companies all have very different views of the market, some of them are increasing there sales and some are shutting down. During the past decade the furniture industry experienced difficult times with competition from low-price-producing countries like The Baltic country and Poland. Even though the corporate climate is rough the seven chosen companies has one thing in common and that is the aversion to outsource the production. They are frightened of losing control over the quality and to maintain hi-quality is of vital importance as it is signified to Swedish made furniture.
One of these companies is AB OH Sjögrens who has been my calibrator in this final project. This is the company that produce the Carl Malmsten upholstery furniture. Personally it was interesting to work with Carl Malmsten as a platform as I am linked to him trough education at Carl Malmsten CTD at Linköpings University and employment at Carl Malmsten store at Strandvägen in Stockholm.
Together with AB O.H. Sjögrens a designbreif was made where it was decided that this project was supposed to result in a sofa that would harmonies with the Carl Malmsten furniture called “Rundrygg” and “Jättepaddan”. The ambition is to offer the consumer a generous sofa as a complement to Carl Malmsten’s small sofas.
When I look at my work I can se that I have not fully been able to answer the question about what the characteristics for upholstered furniture to be optimal in Swedish production are. My work describes instead the search for a suitable match to Carl Malmsten’s furniture. The focus landed on creating new furniture and the project resulted in a sofa that is inviting and generous.
Detta är ett arbete vars målsättning är att göra en översyn av svensk stoppmöbelindustri samt skapa en lämplig komplettering till Carl Malmstens stoppmöbelkollektion.
Den svenska möbelbranschen sysselsätter omkring 20 000 personer i 815 företag och omsatte år 2000 17,5 miljarder kronor. Av dessa 815 företag är ett flertal små familjeföretag med låg teknologisk nivå i produktionen. 10 % av samtliga företag svarar för 60 % av msättningen.
Dessa är storskaliga och har modern produktionsteknik, även i jämförelse med annan verkstadsindustri. Ungefär 25 % av de svensktillverkade möblerna går på export.
Stoppmöbelindustrin är utspridd över hela landet men stor majoritet är lokaliserad i Småland. Efter att jag talat med sju utvalda företag i Tibro och Tranåstrakten konstateras att upplevelsen av marknaden är väldigt olika för företagen, vissa företag ökar sin försäljning medan andra lägger ner. Under de senaste decennierna har prispressen i möbelbranschen ökat och många svenska tillverkare har svårt att hävda sig gentemot utländska lågprisleverantörer, främst från Baltikum och Polen. Trots det hårda företagsklimatet har de sju utvalda företagen en sak gemensamt och det är oviljan att flytta produktionen utomlands. De upplever att de tappar kontrollen över kvalitén och att bibehålla den höga kvalitén är otroligt viktigt då det har blivit signum för svensktillverkade möbler.
Ett av dessa företag är AB O.H. Sjögrens som varit min samarbetspartner i detta examensprojekt. AB O.H. Sjögrens valdes då de producerar Carl Malmstens stoppmöbler, och för mig har det varit intressant att jobba utifrån Carl Malmsten då jag har stor anknytning till hans formgivning genom utbildning på Carl Malmsten CTD Linköpings universitet i Stockholm och arbete på Carl Malmsten butiken på Strandvägen.
Tillsammans med AB O.H. Sjögrens skapades en designbreif där det bestämdes att projektet skall resultera i en soffa som skall fungera tillsammans med Carl Malmstens stora fåtöljer, ”Rundrygg” och ”Jättepaddan”. Målet är att erbjuda konsumenterna en generös soffa som komplement till Carl Malmstens små ”fikasoffor”.
När jag granskar mitt examensarbete konstaterar jag att jag inte helt kunnat svara på frågan om hur en stoppmöbel kan se ut för att vara optimal i svensk produktion, avgränsat till AB O.H Sjögrens. Mitt arbete handlar istället mer om hur en möbel kan se ut för att passa in i Carl Malmstens kollektion. Fokus har hamnat på skapandet av en ny möbel där resultatet blev en soffa som är inbjudande och generös.

Full textAbstract:
Technology is the answer to most of our human needs but every technology is often
accompanied by other challenges which often lead to the evolvement of another technology.
One of the technologies that have greatly impacted our world is that of energy development
out of which the petro–chemical industry is an important one.
The petro–chemical industry remains the main energy hub for our world today through ranges
of products coming from its ambit but not without its own challenges too. One of which is the
issue of breakdown or shut down which always require maintenance. Shutdown, many a
times, may be planned (annual, quarterly, condition–based, time–based, preventive and so on)
or unplanned (run–to–failure).
In any case, maintenance personnel (mechanical, electrical and instrument) must perform their
duties to fix it. In the process of fixing the equipment several factors affect the effectiveness
of the personnel. To improve maintenance activities, factors affecting its effectiveness should
be addressed. Some of the factors that are already been considered are; Overall Equipment
Effectiveness(OEE), Precision maintenance, Maintainability, Computerized Maintenance
Management System (CMMS), Work Order management, Equipment, Logistics, Process
optimization, Supply chain management, Maintenance strategies, Continuous Improvement
Hours and so on. (Taylor, 2000; Siemens.com, 2010)
Of those factors, many people hardly think of ergonomics as a factor of reckoning with
maintenance activities. Ergonomics is mostly thought of in relation to operators and office
workers.
According to National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health in U.S.A (2009),
ergonomic injuries are the most common cause of workplace illness and injury in the United
States. Back injuries and cumulative trauma disorders (CTDs) such as carpal tunnel
syndrome, tendinitis, bursitis and epicondylitis form the majority of non–fatal occupational
injuries and illnesses, costing employers more than 12 billion dollars per year in lost work
time, workers compensation payments and medical expenses.
Of the cost implication of ergonomics ailment reported above, how much of it is related to
maintenance activities? Is there any relationship between maintenance activities andergonomics? In what direction is the relationship? positive or negative? How much is the
impact in either direction? If it is negative, how can we mitigate it? Finally, what are the
benefits, if any? These are some of the vital questions this dissertation is set to answer in
relation to: physical, somatic, medical, overhead cost, production down–time and personnel
morale.
To achieve the afore–mentioned, several research instruments were employed which include;
case studies, questionnaires, physical observations, interviews, literature reviews, internet
resources, journals and other sources (industry experts and professionals).
Relevant keywords and concepts were thoroughly researched in the literature review which
serves as a base for the dissertation.
Two hundred technical personnel (maintenance) serve as the population sample and
questionnaires were administered to them. Technical personnel with appreciable number of
years of experience occupying managerial positions were also interviewed. The outcomes of
all the interviews, observations and questionnaires were analysed and interpreted accordingly
to verify how ergonomics impact maintenance.
This dissertation based on findings, was able to establish that ergonomics impact the activities
of maintenance personnel culminated in proposing an E4M (Ergonomics for Maintenance)
assessor. The assessor alongside utilization guidelines and a training matrix will help to
effectively mitigate the impact of ergonomics on maintenance activities. There is room for
further development of the tool into a computer based package for real–time assessment and
mitigation.
The assessor and its instruments cannot work alone without the commitment of stake–holders
in the industry. That is why recommendations were included for effective application of the
tool.
The dissertation did not overlook the good works the industry has been doing in the area of
creating awareness about repetitive stress injuries among its workforce but only complement
its efforts in areas they might not look into. That is in a bid to improve the effectiveness of its
workforce which will directly increase productivity, profit and stakeholders confidence. On the other hand, it will reduce their indirect losses through; production down–time, medical
cost and over–head costs.
However, the application of the E4M assessor is not limited to the petro–chemical industry
only but finds its applicability in other industries like; manufacturing, aviation, automobile
and any other field where maintenance activities take place particularly in third world
countries.Thesis (M.Ing. (Development and Management Engineering))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
Tämän työn tavoitteena on muodostaa teoreettinen malli siitä, miten huumoria sisältävät tarinat muokkaavat ja ovat mukana muodostamassa yrityksen brändi-identiteettiä. Tutkimus on osa Tekes-rahoitteista HURMOS-hanketta. Yrityksen brändi-identiteetin muodostumista on tutkittu tähän mennessä vasta hyvin vähän käytännön tasolla ja voidaankin sanoa, että yrityksen brändi-identiteetin ja yritysbrändäyksen välinen suhde ei ole selkeä. Tarinankerronta puolestaan on lisääntymässä yrityksillä viestinnän ja yritysbrändäyksen menetelmänä. Yritysten lisääntyneestä tarinankerronnasta huolimatta, tarinat ovat vasta verrattain tuore ilmiö markkinoinnin tutkijoiden piirissä. Tarinoiden käyttöä yritysbrändäyksessä on siis syytä tutkia. Huumori taas on perinteisissä tarinoissa usein käytetty tehokeino ja sen vaikutuksia on tutkittu muun muassa mainonnan yhteydessä. Huumoria on kuitenkin tutkittu hyvin vähän aiemmin yritysbrändäyksessä ja yrityksen brändi-identiteetin muodostumisessa. Myös huumorin roolia markkinoinnissa on siis tärkeää tutkia.
Tutkimuksen teoreettinen viitekehys on muodostettu yrityksen brändi-identiteettiä, yritysbrändäystä, tarinankerrontaa, tarinoiden juonityyppejä ja arkkihahmoja sekä huumorin muodostamista ja käyttötapoja koskevista tieteellisistä julkaisuista. Tutkija on muodostanut tämän aiemman kirjallisuuden perusteella synteesin, jossa yrityksen brändi-identiteetti muodostuu huumoria sisältävän tarinankerronnan kautta. Tarinoita muodostetaan juonityyppien ja arkkihahmojen avulla ja huumori on osa tarinankerrontaa. Tutkimuksessa pyritään selvittämään huumoria sisältävän tarinankerronnan soveltuvuutta yrityksen brändi-identiteetin muodostumisessa.
Tutkimus on toteutettu laadullisena tapaustutkimuksena, jonka tapausyrityksenä on metsäkonevalmistaja Ponsse Oyj. Tutkimuksen empiirisessä osiossa analysoidaan yhtä Ponssen yritysjohdon haastattelua, Ponssen kertomia yritystarinoita sekä yrityksen sidosryhmien kertomia tarinoita. Tutkimuksen empiirinen analyysi on toteutettu teoriaohjaavan sisällönanalyysin menetelmin luokittelemalla ja teemoittelemalla aineistoa.
Tutkimuksen perusteella voidaan sanoa, että yritysten brändi-identiteetti muodostuu sekä yrityksen että sen sidosryhmien kertomien tarinoiden kautta. Yritystarinoita on mahdollista rakentaa sekä juonityyppien että arkkihahmojen avulla ja nämä tarinoiden elementit muokkaavat myös itsessään yrityksen brändi-identiteettiä. Huumori toimii yritystarinoissa tehostajana, jolla voidaan herättää kuulijoiden mielenkiintoa ja luoda yrityksestä inhimillisempi kuva. Myös huumori rakentaa yrityksen brändi-identiteettiä.
Tämän tutkimuksen tuloksia voivat hyödyntää erityisesti tutkimuksen tapausyritys, mutta myös muut yritykset ilman suuria toimialarajoitteita. Yritykset voivat hyödyntää tutkimuksen tuloksia päättäessään tarinoiden käyttämisestä yritysbrändäyksessään, suunnitellessaan yritysbrändäystä ja brändi-identiteettinsä muodostamista sekä pohtiessaan mahdollisuuksia huumorin hyödyntämisestä yritysbrändäyksessään.

Full textAbstract:
TRANSCRIPTIONAL ANALYSIS OF HYDROGENASE GENES
IN RHODOBACTER SPHAEROIDES O.U.001
In photosynthetic non-sulphur bacteria, hydrogen production is catalyzed by
nitrogenases and hydrogenases. Hydrogenases are metalloenzymes that are basically
classified into: the Fe hydrogenases, the Ni-Fe hydrogenases and metal-free
hydrogenases. Two distinct Ni-Fe hydrogenases are described as uptake
hydrogenases and bidirectional hydrogenases. The uptake hydrogenases are
membrane bound dimeric enzymes consisting of small (hupS) and large (hupL)
subunits, and are involved in uptake and the recycling of hydrogen, providing energy
for nitrogen fixation and other metabolic processes.
In this study the presence of the uptake hydrogenase genes was shown in
Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 strain for the first time and hupS gene sequence
was determined. The sequence shows 93% of homology with the uptake hydrogenase
hupS of R.sphaeroides R.V.
There was no significant change in growth of the bacteria at different
concentrations of metal ions (nickel, molybdenum and iron in growth media).
The effect of metal ions on hydrogen production of the organism was also
studied. The maximum hydrogen gas production was achieved in 8.4µM of nickel and 0.1 mM of iron containing media. The expression of uptake hydrogenase genes were examined by RT-PCR. Increasing the concentration of Ni++ up to 8.4µ
M increased the expression of uptake hydrogenase genes (hupS). At varied concentrations of Fe-citrate (0.01 mM-0.1 mM) expression of hupS was not detected until hydrogen production stopped. These results will be significant for the improvement strategies of Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 to increase hydrogen production efficiency. In order to examine the presence of hupL genes, different primers were designed. However, the products could not be observed by PCR.

Full textAbstract:
There is a perception that municipal employees are not committed to their jobs of delivering essential services to the residents.This perception is often exacerbated by media opinion that tend to project an unacceptable image about the work ethics and behaviour of public sector officials. Local government is at the coalface of services delivery in South Africa.Almost all complaints and service delivery protests are directed by communities to municipalities. This necessitates that local government employees should always be ready to serve the people with passion and vigour. From the advent of democratic dispensation in South Africa in 1994 the transformation of the public sector has become one of the central priorities of government.The Constitution of the Republic of South Africa (1996) sets the agenda of a developmental state and outlines objects of local government in Sections 152 and 153 of the supreme law of the land. Flowing from this Constitutional mandate a legislative and policy framework is enacted to guide the municipalities to ensure effective and efficient delivery of services to communities .In this respect the study argues that central to the delivery of services is the human capital. The researcher asserts that it is not the building or any other municipal asset that will ensure delivery of quality services to citizens, but the employees. Employees have a responsibility to ensure that goals and objectives of the OR Tambo District Municipality are realised. The researcher contends that there is a perception that there could be low levels of job satisfaction within the workforce of ORTDM .This could have a negative effect to the provision of basic services to the public .Thus this study is aimed to investigate factors that may affect employee satisfaction in the ORTDM. High level of job satisfaction amongst employees may cause ahighly dedicated and committed workforce. The consequence of that could be a positive impact on municipal performance.

Knowledge of The Joint Commission's National Patient Safety Goals and an effective provider cooperative practice involving communication and teamwork are essential for the delivery of safe and compliant patient care in the surgical setting. The purpose of this study was to assess the impact of an educational intervention for physicians and nurses designed to increase documentation of compliance with national patient safety standards. As events of noncompliance have impacted patient safety at the hospital where this project was conducted, measures were needed to assess barriers to compliance with standards of practice and to focus educational session plans on identified knowledge-base needs.
The goal of this project involved bringing all surgical team members together for educational sessions on safety standards. Pre-intervention and post-intervention assessments of knowledge were administered to study participants. Additionally, random chart documentation audits were conducted before and after the intervention to assess the effectiveness of the education sessions on documentation compliance with the targeted standards.
Outcomes of this study included improved knowledge of, and compliance with, national patient safety goals. Results may improve safe patient care at this hospital, reduce costs, and create mutual respect and teamwork, all contributing to the successful achievement of the organization's quality improvement goals.

Full textAbstract:
This research work focuses on the use of integrated control and asset management (ICAM) in optimizing process plant operations. The assets considered are mainly valves and instruments, such as pressure, flow, temperature and level transmitters.
The dissertation discusses how integrated control and asset management could be used to detect potential process problems as well as incipient faults in field devices and valves.
Integrated control and asset management is a technology whereby the control loop or system is made to perform functions other than its traditional function of controlling the process in order to achieve an improved production target.
The conditions of the instruments, valves and the process itself are monitored with the aid of another system called asset management. The condition monitoring data is superimposed on the process control signal thus giving the name ‘integrated’. Commonly known as artificial intelligent design, the asset management software is able to unlock data buried in a distributed control system (DCS), supervisory control and digital acquisition (SCADA), programmable logic control (PLC) or other remote terminal units (RTUs), analyze it and give actionable recommendations.
Two plants in Sasol which have deployed the ICAM technology were investigated namely the Auto-Thermal reforming (ATR) plant and the N-Butanol plant. The research investigation revealed that the use of ICAM gives rise to
i) a proactive maintenance strategy
ii) increased uptime which means reduced downtime
iii) increased throughput
iv) removal of unnecessary maintenance of valves and instruments and
v) an improved way of running the process.
The ICAM technology has been made possible by the HART technology, the foundation fieldbus technology as well as SMART-based instruments and valves. Some limitations of ICAM were also discovered as well as other factors that could hamper it from delivering its full benefits.Thesis (M.Ing.

Full textAbstract:
Rhodobacter sphaeroides O.U.001 is a purple non-sulphur bacterium producing hydrogen under photoheterotrophic, nitrogen limited conditions. Hydrogen is produced by Mo-nitrogenase but substantial amount of H2 is reoxidized by a membrane bound uptake hydrogenase. In this study, hydrogen production and the expression of structural nitrogenase genes were investigated by varying molybdenum and iron ion concentrations. These two elements are found in the structure of Mo-nitrogenase and they are important for functioning of the enzyme. The results showed that hydrogen production and nifD gene expression increased upon increase in molybdenum concentration. Increasing iron concentration had also positive effect on hydrogen production and nifK gene expression.
To improve the hydrogen producing capacity of R. sphaeroides O.U.001, hupSL genes encoding uptake hydrogenase were disrupted in two different methods. In the first method, hup genes were disrupted by gentamicin resistance gene insertion. In the second method, part of the hup gene was deleted without using antibiotic resistance gene. The wild type and the hup- mutant cells showed similar growth patterns but substantially more hydrogen was produced by the mutant cells.
The genes coding for hox1 hydrogenase of Thiocapsa roseopersicina was aimed to be expressed in R. sphaeroides O.U.001 to produce H2 under nitrogenase repressed and mixotrophic conditions. The hox1 hydrogenase genes of T. roseopersicina were cloned and transferred to R. sphaeroides. Although the cloning was successful, the expression of hydrogenase was not achieved by using either the native promoter of hox1 hydrogenase or the crtD promoter of T. roseopersicina.

Para estudo do efeito do despolpamento em diferentes estádios de maturação, o delineamento foi inteiramente casualizado, em esquema fatorial 2x3, ou seja, com e sem polpa nos três estádios de maturação (vermelho, amarelo, preto). Utilizou-se 4 repetições de 25 diásporos que foram acondicionados em caixas plásticas contendo vermiculita média, colocadas em condições de laboratório (24,5-27,5°C). Para o estudo de armazenamento, o delineamento experimental foi inteiramente casualizado; os diásporos foram acondicionados em sacos de polietileno transparentes e colocados em câmara fria (3-4ºC e UR de 80 a 85%).

The palm (Roystonea regia (Kunth) O.F. Cook), though very much used in the Brazilian landscape gardening there are few information on production of seedlings. However, the objective of this work was to report the morphology of the diaspores (seed with adherent endocarp) and of the seedling, as well as, to study the pulping effect and the storage in the seeds germination from fruits of different maturation and stages. The experiment was installed in a completely randomized design, following a factorial scheme (2x3) with four replications of 25 diaspores. These were conditioned in plastic boxes containing vermiculite and put in laboratory condition (24,5-27,5°C) to study the pulping effect. In another hand, for storage study the diaspores were conditioned in transparent polyethylene bags and put in chamber chill (3-4ºC and relative humidity of 80 a 85%). Analysis germination was carried out daily until complete stabilization of the germination, using as criterion the appearance of the germinative intumescences. The parameters analyzed were percentage of germination - PG and germination speed index – GSI. The pulping data’s were submitted to variance analysis and the average values were compared by the Tukey test at 5% and the storage data’s were analyzed through Polinomial Regression. The results showed that seeds are the albumin type with rigid endosperm occupying almost all the diaspores, with lateral and peripherical embryo. It was conclude that seeds grew by 10 months storage through. The pulping independent maturation stage fruit allowed high percentage and germination speed. Seeds from black and yellow fruits showed larger percentage germination comparing with red fruits, as well as, when storage in chamber chill, where black fruit had 98% germination, yellow fruit 97% and red fruit 85%.

Full textAbstract:
Sustainable development and resource efficiency are the common global strategies
of the 21st century. The actual global natural resource consumption of humankind
went far over the limit and to cover this worldwide resource consumption the productivity
of 1.5 earths is now necessary.
The work “Reduction of anthropogenic environmental influences by advanced and
optimized technologies” discussed the problem of advanced resource efficiencies
with mining activities in South Africa as an example. Related strategies to reverse
anthropogenic impacts to such an extent that it resembles former natural conditions
were also discussed. Heavy metal contaminated soil and water were treated with
natural techniques and different natural media to reduce and eliminate contamination
and to provide a market value for former unusable material. Specially developed soil
ameliorants and natural filter media could increase the total quality of soil and water.
Even plants could be established in these changed conditions. Applied to the natural
environment an overall upgrade of mining activities could be achieved.
To optimize these laboratory and field results support was generated by using evolutionary
algorithms as part of the artificial intelligence. By combining applied technologies
with the evolution strategy an optimization tool could be developed to simulate,
optimize and forecast procedures of anthropogenic impact reversion. With this tool a
transfer of solutions to other similar applications in under–developed and developing
countries could be shown.
The trans–disciplinary scientific approach of balancing the trigger element carbon
proved that the reduction to the smallest common element carbon can be used to
balance processes and to indicate pollution. As stated in the United Nations Framework,
carbon balances are one of the most significant causes of environmental problems,
including environmental pollution and health and are also closely related to climate
change in general. With carbon balances resource efficiency and resource protection
can be transferred into practice.
Finally, all results were collected and verified in a decision support system with the
aim to optimize the treatment steps and to make the results transparent and available
for users in academia and practice. The work was exemplary in showing that the approach
of environmental sciences and techniques to reverse anthropogenic interferences
back to natural sustainability and evolution, optimized the equilibrium of nature.Thesis (Ph.D. (Environmental Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
Syfte: Syftet med den här uppsatsen är att undersöka hur maskulinitet och maskulin homosocialitet konstrueras i två avsnitt av The O.C. Inom mediestudier finns mycket forskning kring genus, men ofta ur feministisk synvinkel och med anledning av detta ville jag med den här uppsatsen fylla en lucka och se hur maskulinitet konstrueras i ett populärkulturellt material. Förhållandet mellan sociala och fysiska egenskaper, såväl som förhållandet mellan män och grupper av män låg i fokus för analysen. Metod: Ur seriens första säsong valdes två avsnitt där maskulin interaktion fick stort utrymme. Dessa har analyserats med en modell för narrativ analys hämtad från Selby & Cowderys bok How to study television (1995). De två avsnitten analyserades var för sig, och varje avsnitt delades upp i tre sekvenser som alla analyserats för att finna deras explicita och implicita meningsinnehåll. Teori: R.W Connells bok Maskuliniteter (1995), såväl som annan maskulinitetsforskning agerade teoretisk grund. Begreppet hegemonisk maskulinitet, enkelt beskrivet som den genuspraktik som för tillfället säkerställer maskulin dominans gentemot kvinnor, och teorier kring det har stor närvaro. Vidare diskuteras även homosocialitet, icke-romantiska förhållanden mellan män. Resultat & slutsats: Jag fann att de män som var var villiga att bruka våld mot andra män var de som fick störst utrymme och också var de som blev utsedda till ledare för sina kompisgäng. Dessa män var också fysiskt starka och mål för åtrå. De män som inte hade muskler eller var villiga att slåss var heller inte socialt framgångsrika. I förhållandet mellan män var upprättande av hierarki av högsta vikt. Detta skedde oftast genom våld. Många män visade dessutom upp homofobiska tendenser, men dessa män var oftast perifera karaktärer med lite utrymme. De socialt framgångsrika männen motsatte sig i hög grad homofobi. Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Den manliga vänskapen hade lite utrymme i mitt material, varför det är relevant mål för ytterligare forskning. Hur män förhåller sig till varandra på andra sätt än våld bör skrivas om då populärkulturellt material är av stor vikt vid exempelvis identitetsskapande.

Full textAbstract:
Since its inception, the Outcomes-Based Education (OBE) curriculum in South Africa has caused much confusion and frustration among teachers, especially with regard to the implementation of Outcomes- Based Assessment (OBA). From the onset of the implementation of OBE in South Africa, teachers were confronted with unfamiliar challenges with regard to teaching, learning and assessment. Most teachers experienced these challenges as very stressful, because they were inadequately prepared for the didactical paradigm shift. This resulted in a general degree of negativity and resistance towards OBE amongst teachers. In particular, there seemed to be much confusion and frustration about the workload and administrative burden that OBA imposed on teachers.
In the light of the afore-mentioned, the researcher wished to determine how the teachers from the North- West Province experience the OBA of Physical Sciences in the Further Education and Training (FET) Band.
In order to achieve the aim and objectives of the research, a literature study as well as an empirical investigation was undertaken. The literature study focused on OBA, OBE, and the National Policy Document on the teaching, learning and assessment of Physical Sciences in the FET Band.
For the purposes of the empirical investigation, quantitative and qualitative data were collected by means of a questionnaire that was distributed among a sample of teachers who taught Physical Sciences in the FET Band schools in the North-West Province. The data were quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed and on the basis of the findings the following conclusions were drawn:
• Although most participants indicated that they received training in OBA and were in possession of the relevant National Curriculum Statement (NCS) documents, some of their responses indicated a lack of practical implementation skills. It also transpired that some of the participants experienced a lack of resources and inadequate support from subject advisors in implementing OBA.
• Participants experienced the following obstacles with regard to the assessment of Physical Sciences in the FET Band:
- inadequate training to conduct practical work;
- a complicated and confusing NCS document that does not contain clear guidelines;
- an overloaded curriculum; and
- limited resources, time constraints, overcrowded classrooms and an overloaded curriculum make practical work and experimentation very difficult.
On the basis of the findings emanating from the research, a model for the implementation of OBA of Physical Sciences in the FET Band was proposed to close the gap between the theory and assessment practice.Thesis (PhD (Natural Science Education))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2013.

It was conclude that seeds grew by 10 months storage through. The pulping independent maturation stage fruit allowed high percentage and germination speed. Seeds from black and yellow fruits showed larger percentage germination comparing with red fruits, as well as, when storage in chamber chill, where black fruit had 98% germination, yellow fruit 97% and red fruit 85%.

Full textAbstract:
The phenomenon of inner-biblical interpretation and inter-textual replication of scriptural material within the Old Testament is receiving significant attention in current scholarship. Two narratives which are repeated three times in the Hebrew Bible provide a particularly fruitful case study for this type of research: the Hezekiah narrative (2 Kgs 18-20; Isa 36-39; 2 Chr 29-32) and the account of the fall of Judah (2 Kgs 24-25; Jer 52; 2 Chr 36). This study extends the contributions of redaction-critical, literary-critical, and text-critical studies examining the narratives of 2 Kings 18-20//Isaiah 36-39 and 2 Kings 24:18-25:30//Jeremiah 52 and emphasizes their subsequent reception in Chronicles. In addition, this investigation advances the discussion of the Chronicler's reliance upon and method of incorporating material from the Latter Prophets. It is the conclusion of this thesis that the Chronicler was familiar with the versions of the Hezekiah narrative and the account of the fall of Judah in both 2 Kings and the Latter Prophets. His method of handling these alternative accounts reflects both direct quotation (particularly in the case of 2 Kings) and indirect allusion to themes and idioms (with regard to the Latter Prophets). The result is a re-telling of Judah's history which is infused with hope for restoration as articulated by the Latter Prophets. By portraying an idealized account of Israel's past history which corresponds to prophetic descriptions of the nation's restoration, Chronicles illustrates the accessible, utopic potential held out to every generation of faithful Israel.

Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur pedagoger upplever implementeringen och villkoren att arbeta med den digital skrivtavlan. Det har även varit av intresse att se vilka förväntningar det finns på användningen av Smartboarden. Metoden som användes för att ta fram svaren var kvalitativa intervjuer som genomfördes på en skola och en förskola. Det är tidigare forskning som ligger till grund för denna studies frågeställningar. Enligt flera forskare har Smartboarden ett brett användningsområde. Dock kan detta stora användningsområde endast komma till bruk om man är införstådd i arbetssättet. Resultatet baserades på respondenternas svar tillsammans med tidigare forskning. Det visade sig att implementeringen skett genom ett top down taget beslut av skolledning och rektorer. Dock var de flesta pedagoger positiva till införandet av Smartboarden i skolan. I förskolan var det spridda tankar kring implementeringen eftersom att en del pedagoger ansåg att Smartboarden hörde hemma i skolan och andra visste inte ens vad det var för något. En slutsats att dra efter denna studie är att pedagogerna som använder sig av Smartboard måste få utbildning kring användningen för att det ska ge ett bra resultat i undervisningen och satsningen av det nya läromedlet.

Full textAbstract:
This treatise investigates the implementation challenges of performance monitoring and evaluation in the O R Tambo District Municipality. The treatise comprises five chapters. The study is based on the assumption that O R Tambo District Municipality, like any other municipality in South Africa, particularly in the Eastern Cape, is confronted with the implementation challenges of performance monitoring and evaluation. ORTDM has a performance-management system that is not fully implemented, and needs to put into context its challenges, in order to appropriately make those interventions relevant to the situation. The fact that the performance- management system has not yet been cascaded to the lower level employees creates difficulties in performance monitoring and evaluation. There has been a deep concern that municipalities are underperforming, and yet with no visible steps being taken to improve the situation. If the O R Tambo District Municipality is attempting to achieve the objectives of the local government, as stated in the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996, it is then necessary to properly implement performance monitoring and evaluation, as mechanisms to accelerate service delivery. This has the potential to improve the quality of life of the citizens of O R Tambo District Municipality. This study provides the general background to the implementation challenges of performance monitoring and evaluation in the O R Tambo District Municipality. The challenges of performance monitoring and evaluation, the determinants of performance monitoring and evaluation, as well as the theories used in performance monitoring and evaluation will be addressed. The study presents the findings resulting from the analysis of the data provided by the respondents. Amongst the findings of the study there is a view that the O R Tambo District Municipality does not have monitoring and evaluation specialists who could ensure that performance is being periodically evaluated, in order to close policy gaps that might be in existence. Non-involvement or partial involvement of communities has the potential to cause stagnation, as people generally lack monitoring skills. Some of the recommendations include: the skills development of all the stakeholders, especially those with the mandate to deliver on behalf of government, that is, political office bearers, together with the technical support wing. Performance monitoring and evaluation under the proposed recommendations could be enhanced and positive changes could be realised.

Full textAbstract:
The book of Deuteronomy turns out to be very interesting for the study of passing on religious traditions within family. On the one hand, with a canonical approach — i.e. an approach where the function of a biblical text within the canon is emphasised over die history of this text - Deuteronomy acts like the hermeneutical key explaining how the new generations must face and actualise the Torah — the principles of life and conduct given by the Lord to His people. On the orner hand, the content of Deuteronomy represents the family as the privileged place, or rather die "vehicle" by which die Torah will be handed down to the next generation.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis explores the relationship between the books of Kings and Chronicles and considers the value of having two different versions of the same monarchic history within the Tanak. It furthermore explores how these books are read in relation to one another. To be more specific, its concern is how the book of Chronicles is read in relation to the book of Kings as Chronicles is so often considered to be a later rewritten text drawing upon an earlier version of the Masoretic Text of Kings. The predominant scholarly approach to reading the book of Chronicles is to read it in light of how the text was emended (additions, deletions, etc.). This approach has great value and has furthered our understanding of the theology and purpose of Chronicles. While this thesis fully affirms this diachronic approach to reading Chronicles, it also finds it to be lacking. This said, I suggest that this predominant way of reading Chronicles through the lens of its source (Kings) sometimes misses the theological and rhetorical features of the Chronicler's text. In light of this suggestion, this thesis will answer the following question: “why were two narratives retained in the Tanak and what possible answers to this question might emerge by looking at the similarities and differences in the two narratives' contents, arguments, and theology?” The method by which this question will be addressed is to read the Solomon narratives in the books of Kings and Chronicles in two ways: first, to read each narrative as a whole and independently of one another, and second, to examine each narrative together in an effort to understand their uniqueness. The result of this analysis will show that these narratives can in fact read as whole narratives independent of one another, and furthermore, that Solomon is in fact less idealized (contra popular scholarly opinion) in the book of Chronicles.
