A new ecclesiasticus species group in the genus Typhlodromus Scheuten is proposed. The group is characterized primarily by the presence of seta z6 on the podoscutum and setae S2, S4, and S5 on the opisthoscutum. It is composed of 17 species: T. sentus Pritchard and Baker, T. neosentus van der Merwe, T. acanthus van der Merwe, T. sennarensis El Badry, T. parva (Matthysse and Denmark) comb, nov., T. kuzini (Wainstein), T. relenta (Matthysse and Denmark) comb, nov., T. ecclesiasticus De Leon, T. scytinus Chazeau, T. prunusus van der Merwe, T. yokogawae Ehara and Hamaoka, T. operantis (Chaudhri) comb, nov.,T. loricatus (Wainstein) comb, nov., T. bregetovae (Wainstein and Beglyarov) comb, nov., T. neosoleiger Gupta, T. ignavus (Chaudhri) comb, nov., and T. niloticus El Badry. Typhlodromus vitreus (Chaudhri) comb. nov. is designated as a junior synonym of T. bregetovae. Two species, T. ignavus and T. niloticus, are designated as "species inquirendae" because of insufficient information on their characteristics. Various generic concepts relating to the species in this group are reviewed. The group is described and a key to adult females and descriptions of each species are provided.

Användbarhet och användarupplevelser spelar en stor roll för företag på digitala marknaden. Inte minst för mindre företag som anställer en webbyrå som utvecklar hemsidan åt kunden och sedan drivs enskilt av ägaren. Efterfrågan på ett gränssnitt med hög användbarhet har ökat, och att kunna analysera användbarheten på sin egna e-handel på ett effektivt sätt är viktigt för småföretag. Denna studie ska undersöka en kostnads- och tidseffektiv analysmetod för småskaliga e-handelssidor. För att svara på frågeställningen kommer arbetet utgå från två vedertagna analysmetoder som kommer testas på företaget Bernt i Lunds hemsida. Metoderna är Nielsens 10 Heuristiker och Bekker & Merwe’s analysmetod. Dessa kommer sedan utvärderas utifrån antal identifierade problem, typ av problem, generella/e-handelsspecifika problem samt strukturen av metoderna. Detta ligger sedan till grund för en egen framtagen metod som är anpassad till småskaliga e-handelssidor likt Bernt i Lund. Resultatet börjar med att presentera resultaten från båda metoderna för sig. Bekker & Merwe’s metod gav hemsidan ett helhetsbetyg på 62,25 på en skala -160 till 160. Nielsen’s Heuristiska test lyckades identifiera 52 stycken unika problem på hemsidan. Sedan presenteras det slutgiltiga resultatet i form av en ny analysmetod som är baserad Nielsen’s Heuristiska metod som appliceras på ramverket från Bekker & Merwe’s metod. Den nya metoden testades och lyckades identifiera 109 stycken unika problem på sidan. Slutsatsen vi kan dra är att den nya analysmetoden är mer effektiv för Bernt i Lunds hemsida för att identifiera fler stora och små problem samt tiden det tar att finna problem.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this mini-dissertation is to explore the labour law consequences when a director of a company is dismissed. The underlying
questions that come forward are: What legislation protects the director in his various roles? What remedies are available? Is a director an employee and can his office as director be distinguished from his post as employee? A company as a separate entity is compelled to perform its corporate functions by means of its directors, officials and employees. The mere fact that a person is the director of a company does not mean that he is a representative or an employee. A director will be an employee once he enters into a contract of employment. A director that performs personal services and is responsible to the board 1s held to be an employee. The company statutes regulate the appointment and removal of a director, thus the shareholders are responsible for the decision. In terms of the common law the appointment of a company director is complete when a person with the competence to appoint a director makes the appointment and the appointee accepts the offer. The removal of a director must be substantively fair, the true and valid reasons for the removal must thus be given. The removal must also be procedurally fair, this entails that certain steps must be taken. Failure to comply with this makes the dismissal unfair. The dismissal of a senior employee is not an exception to the rule; that a fair hearing procedure must still be complied with. I shall briefly discuss several cases on the courts' view of a director as an employee of the company.
In PG Group (Pty) Ltd v Mbambo NO & others 2005 1 BLLR 71 (LC) the labour court found that section 213 of the Labour Relations Act 66 of 1995
is formulated wide enough to encompass most directors. In Oak Industries (SA)(Pty) Ltd v John NO & Another 1987 8 ILJ 756 the court ruled that there is no absolute rule stating that a director cannot be an employee; notwithstanding any definition of the word employee in legislature. In Sage v Fourwinds Transporl CO (Pty) Ltd 1994 8 BLLR 114 (IC) the Industrial court ruled that an employee is an employee in spite of his status in the organisation. Lastly in Pearson v Sheerbonnet South Africa (Pty) Ltd 1999 7 BLLR 703 (LC) was the director held to be an employee on the grounds
that he had an employment contract with the company. The entity towards which the director owes fiduciary duties is the company. There is no standard of competence, rights or duties attached to the office of director. These are determined by the companies' statutes. memorandum of association, the common law and the applicable contract. The common law requires the director to exercise his duties in good faith and to the advantage of the company and he also has a duty to take reasonable care. The director's common law and statutory duties exist as one. There is no prescript in the statute or clause in a contract that can free a director of responsibility towards the company that develops out of his negligence, failure or dereliction of duty. Section 248 of the Company Act 61 of 1973 frees a director where it appears that he acted honestly and reasonably. The mere fact that the court disagrees with the director is not a
ground for responsibility. The director is responsible for the company damages when he does not use the necessary skill and care. Any legal competent person can be a company director. Section 218(l)(d)(iii) of the Company Act 61 of 1973 compels the court to refuse to grant permission to a person to act as a company director if the person was found guilty of theft, fraud, perjury or any crime that includes dishonesty in terms of the founding or management of a company and is sent to jail with or without the option of a fine or is fined more than R100.Thesis (LL.M.

Full textAbstract:
In this study, the metathesis reaction of alkynes was investigated with the classic
Mo(CO)6/PhOH-catalyst system by utilizing both laboratory experimentation and molecular
modelling. The reaction was optimized by using the alkyne used in the initial study, namely ptolylphenylacetylene.
The progress of the reactions was monitored by gas chromatography.
As p-tolylphenylacetylene is not available commercially, a synthesis had to be developed. An
uncatalysed, organic method and a palladium catalysed method were investigated. The catalysed
method proved to be the fastest and gave a higher, better quality, yield. The products were
characterized by IR, NMR, MS and SEM techniques.
During the optimisation of the reaction, various factors that could have an influence on the
activity of the system, were investigated. These included reaction temperature, cocatalyst,
solvent, activation period, Mo(CO)6 content, PhOH content as well as the alkyne that was used
as substrate. No reaction was observed below 100 °C and an increase in activity was displayed as
the temperature increased until an optimum was reached at 160 °C. Elevation of the temperature
above this resulted in diminished activity.
The influence of three cocatalysts namely phenol, resorcinol and α-naphtol, was tested and their
characteristics were compared to those determined for optimum reactivity in the metathesis
polymerisation reaction using the same catalyst system. As the difference between the
cocatalysts that were tested was very small, PhOH was used as the cocatalyst in the remaining
optimisation reactions. The optimum PhOH content for the reaction was determined to be 25:1
molar ratio with regard to Mo(CO)6.
The optimum Mo(CO)6 content of the reaction was determined by using the alkyne content. A
molar ratio of 25:1 alkyne substrate:Mo(CO)6 was found to be the most active. Higher
concentrations of the alkyne led to deactivation of the catalyst system. The alkyne substrate was
also investigated for maximum activity – alkynes with different substituents were used and the
results compared. The results showed that internal alkynes were most suitable for metathesis, but
that terminal alkynes could undergo the reaction if suitable steric substituents were present.
OPSOMMING/SUMMARY 194
While phenylacetylene underwent only polimerisation, t-butylacetylene underwent both
polimerisation and metathesis. 1-Phenyl-substituted alkynes were also investigated and it was
found that a main chain length of four carbon atoms resulted in optimum conversion with regard
to the alkynes that were tested.
A mechanistic postulate, by which the hydrogen of the hydroxyl group on the phenol coordinates
with the alkyne triple bond to render it more olefinic in nature, was subjected to testing by the
investigation of a possible activation period. This was conducted by heating the reaction mixture
without the catalyst at 70 °C for a specified time. After this period had elapsed, the catalyst was
added and the reaction allowed to proceed normally. Small differences in conversion were noted
between the samples that were activated and those that had had no activation period.
Solvents of low polarity showed the best results for metathesis. The solvent, however, still had to
be able to stabilise any polar species that formed during the reaction. Solvents that yielded
metathesis products were tetralin, decalin, indane, chlorobenzene and to a lesser extent,
cyclohexanol.
Molecular modelling studies, during which the formation of the proposed metallacyclobutadiene
complex was investigated, was compared with results of studies in the literature and it was found
that the DMol3 DFT-code results (Accelrys Materials Studio (2002)) correlated very well with
these studies.
Molecular modelling was also used to determine and confirm the influence of electron
withdrawing ligands on the metal centre. Dissociation of the metallacyclobutadiene complex to
form metathesis products was shown to be the rate-determining step by the calculation of the
minimum required activation energies.
A postulate for the metathesis of 1-phenyl-1-propyne in the presence of the Mo(CO)6/PhOH
catalyst system was proposed. A puckered metallacyclobutadiene was found to be the most
stable conformation and alternative intermediates, in the form of metallatetrahedranes and
cyclopropenyl complexes, were identified. Further study is necessary to elucidate the
mechanistic pathway of this reaction.Thesis (M.Sc. (Chemie))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Full textAbstract:
According to the literature the status of Physical Education as school subject has declined considerably worldwide in many schools over the past twenty years. The concern about this decline in the presence and presentation of Physical Education in school curriculums across the world, initiated the “International Council of Sport Science and Physical Education‟s” (ICSSPE) investigation into the status of Physical Education in 167 countries and states. Hardman (2005) confirms that numerous governments legally committed themselves to offer Physical Education to children and young people, but due to several factors, this promise has not materialised. The most important outcome of this worldwide investigation is the World Summit on Physical Education in Berlin in 1999, organised by ICSSPE. More than 250 representatives of governments, inter-government organisations, non-governmental organisations (NGOs) and academic institutions of 80 countries from across the world, including South Africa, attended this summit. This summit was presented under the international supervision and protection of the “United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization” (UNESCO) as well as the “International Olympic Committee” (IOC), with the co-sponsorship of the “World Health Organization” (WHO). Three weeks later, the Berlin Agenda or “Call for Action”, compiled at the World Summit, was presented for acceptance and support to “Ministers and Senior Officials reponsible for Physical Education and Sport” (MINEPS III) in Uruguay. With the acceptance of this “Call for Action” MINEPS III committed themselves to present and support quality Physical Education as a basic right of all children and young people in their different countries.
Research Aim 1 of this study is: The evaluation of the re-implementation of Physical Education as subject in South African schools, and Research Aim 2 is: The analysis of the further implementation of Physical Education as subject in South African schools according to the Berlin Agenda. In 1994 Physical Education disappeared as a separate school subject in South Africa. With the implementation of Curriculum 2005 the subject was included as one of the outcomes of the Learning Area Life Orientation, and was systematically implemented from the Foundation Phase through to the FET Phase.
Since the beginning of 2008 Physical Education has been a compulsory outcome of Life Orientation from Grade R up to Grade 12, with minimum ONE specified Physical Education period per week, per grade on every school timetable in South Africa. However, since the DoE-initiated countrywide training of 277 Life Orientation subject advisors in Physical Education in 2008, co-ordinated by the NWU (Potchefstroom Campus), there seem to be major problems with the implementation of Physical Education as outcome of Life Orientation.
A quantitative research design, which included six phases and was supported by a limited qualitative set of data, was used in this research.
Physical Education does not experience a very high status in South Africa. Insufficient teacher training (almost 50% of Physical Education staff have had no training), apparatus, facilities and support for the implementation of the subject increase the problem. If the government and National Department of Education wishes to honour the Berlin Declaration or “Call for Action”, it will have to speedily and seriously consider the recommendations in this research concerning training, apparatus, facilities, support as well as changes to the curriculum.
Internationally the subject is under pressure, but countries such as Australia, England and the USA are serious about the subject. South Africa should speedily follow the same route as these countries and become serious about the re-implementation of Physical Education. As a democratic country, quality Physical Education for children and young people is the obligation and responsibility of the government, National as well as Provincial Departments of Education, school governing bodies, school management teams, teachers and parents. A lack of quality Physical Education can result in an unfit, overweight and uncompetitive sport population of children and young people in South Africa. Such an undesirable situation can cause negative a health-status, economic development as well as poor national and international sport results for an upcoming, developing country such as South Africa.Thesis (Ph.D. (Movement Education))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

It is clear that tourism, especially ecotourism, in South Africa is growing at a rapid pace. Each
year more and more tourists travel to South Africa with their main aim to visit places that are
based on the natural environment. Tourists want to interact with nature and learn about the
environment that they are visiting. The main goal of the thesis was to determine aspects that
will contribute to the sustainable ecotourism development of game farms.
The method of research consisted firstly of a literature study which included theses, articles and
sources on wildlife, hunting, ecotourism-related literature and sustainable development-related
literature. Secondly, an empirical research of which the survey sample, consisting of all the
active members of the South African Game Farmers Organisation. This adds up to a total of
1244 members of whom 50% (N = 622) were randomly sampled for the research. A
questionnaire was sent to each of the selected respondents via e-mail, fax or by postage.
Some of the selected members were also visited in person during various workshops that were
held by the South African Game Farmers Organisation.
The main conclusion of the research was that the majority of game farms in South Africa that
formed part of the survey are developed as sustainable ecotourism attractions when looking at
the natural/conservational/environmental side as well implementing cultural aspects such as
learning local languages. This included aspects such as: respect for and acknowledgement of
the dignity of people in the development, marketing and promotion of tourism; to promote a
sound and proud service ethic among all participants; to avoid damaging the environmental
quality; to minimise environmental impact and to reduce energy requirements for lighting and to
educate tourists to learn about and respect the local culture. When considering the
community/stakeholders relationship one tends to find that these aspects of sustainable
development are not completely met. These are aspects such as working closely with the local
community to develop new products; developing partnerships and joint ventures in which the
community has a significant stake; fostering the development of community-based tourism
products by providing marketing and mentoring support and considering using local
entrepreneurs in developing community initiatives.
The contribution of this research into game farm tourism is firstly that a criterion for sustainable
ecotourism development was compiled that will assist game farm owners in developing their
game farms sustainably from an ecotourism point of view. Secondly, this research was one of
the first in South Africa that to study sustainable ecotourism development of game farms;
therefore, through these results a theoretical model has been developed to indicate the role of
game farms as part of ecotourism. Thirdly, the statistical analysis of the results of the study has
also indicated and weighed the most important aspects of sustainable ecotourism development.
Fourthly, aspects that still need attention and are neglected by game farm owners were also
identified.Thesis (Ph.D. (Tourism))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Full textAbstract:
Ozonation, or advanced oxidation processes (utilising ozone decomposition products as oxidants) are widely used in industrial waste water and drinking water treatment plants. In these applications the use of ozone is based on ozone and its decomposition by-products being strong oxidants. A case study revealed that several waterworks in South Africa successfully utilise ozone as a pre-oxidant for the treatment of raw waters.
South Africa holds more than three quarters of the world’s viable chromium ore (chromite) reserves. Subsequently the Cr-related industry-within is considerable in size and a major producer of large volumes of waste materials. Chromium also occurs commonly in other industrial waste materials (e.g. fly ash and clinkers originating from coal combustion) and is a natural occurring element in natural sediments, since chromium is the 21st most abundant element in the earth’s crust with an average concentration of approximately 100 ppm. Considering the abundance of natural and anthropogenic Cr-containing materials in South Africa the possibility exists that some of these materials might be suspended in raw water entering water treatment facilities.
In this dissertation, the possible oxidation of non-Cr(VI) Cr-containing materials suspended in water during ozonation, is presented within the context of water treatment applications (Chapter 4). The results indicate that in situ formation of hazardous Cr(VI) is possible during aqueous ozonation. pH had a significant influence, since the decomposition products of aqueous O3, i.e. hydroxyl radicals that form at higher pH levels, were found to be predominantly responsible for Cr(VI) formation. Increased ozonation contact time, water temperature and solid loading also resulted in elevated Cr(VI) concentrations being formed. Occasionally these values exceeded the drinking water standard 50 ppb Cr(VI). The results therefore indicate the importance of removing suspended particulates from water prior to ozonation. Additionally, pH-control could be used to mitigate the possible formation of Cr(VI) during ozonation.
In Chapter 5, exploratory work is presented on the possibility of utilising Cr(VI) formation via ozonation as a means of recovering chromium from Cr-containing waste materials. Such a study is of particular interest within the local context, considering the large volumes of waste produced by the Cr-related industry in South Africa. This exploratory work is based on the fact that unlike Cr(0) and Cr(III), most Cr(VI) compounds are relatively soluble in water. Cr(VI) is a carcinogen if inhaled, however the probability of negative health effects are substantially reduced if it occurs in solution. Thus a hydrometallurgical route of recovering Cr-units via Cr(VI) generation represents the safest route with regard to Cr(VI) exposure. Such a hydrometallurgical route could also addresses the limitations of the physical separation methods currently applied, which fails to recover fine Cr-containing solids. The degree of Cr2O3-liberation achieved in this exploratory work was relatively low. However, the Cr2O3-liberation achieved for the ferrochromium slag (15%) indicated some promise, considering the limitations of this exploratory work. Several steps can be considered in future studies, which would in all likelihood improve the Cr2O3-liberation further.Thesis (MSc (Chemistry))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012

This research investigates the education of entrepreneurship to learners with learning
difficulties. It is important to keep in mind the rights and possibilities of a learner with
learning difficulties. Two entrepreneurship programmes were presented to two different
groups of learners at Oom Paul School.
Learners with learning disabilities can be categorised as poor performers, learners with
behavioural and emotional problems, development problems (for example a language deficit),
as well as learners with permanent disabilities- physically, intellectual and sensorial. An
important part of this research will focus on the discussion on the causes of learning
difficulties and problems of learners.
One of the most important aims in education, especially in teaching learners with learning
difficulties, is to guide learners to become a part of adulthood and the business world as a
responsible and active member of society. Unfortunately, there are many learners who- after
a successful school career seems to get "lost" along the way, because of society's
discrimination.
Several entrepreneurial programmes have been developed and have been implemented with
great success at various schools, with reference in particular to the programmes "Business
Ventures" and "Entrepreneurskap: jou eie besigheid". Above mentioned programmes are
developed for main stream education and are not necessarily suitable for learners with
learning difficulties.
According to literary studies on education on entrepreneurship, this study field is relatively
new in RSA and that no research regarding entrepreneurship education for learners with
learning difficulties has been done.
This research has pointed out that the teaching and education of entrepreneurship to learners
with learning difficulties can be successful with a few adjustments.
The new outcomes-based curriculum for general education and training for further education
is Curriculum 2005. This curriculum is learner centred and is beneficiary for the learner with
disabilities and difficulties. The principles of outcomes-based curriculum (Curriculum 2005)
contribute to the accommodation of all learners in their diversity and needs.
The society is looking forward to the implementation of this new curriculum, due to the fact
that discrimination against learners with learning disabilities/difficulties will no longer be
part of our education. Awareness of entrepreneurship and teaching of entrepreneurship is
part of the eight learning areas and also one of the critical outcomes of Curriculum 2005.
Entrepreneurial awareness can offer a meaningful contribution to solve an essential problem in the RSA.Thesis (M.Ed.)--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2000

Steel producers in South Africa are finding it increasingly difficult to achieve long
term goals due to the level of competition in the industry domestically, as well as
being under threat from overseas producers.
The objective of the study was to research customer service in order to formulate a
model for the successful implementation of a customer service programme.
The present level of expectation and perception of customer service was established
by making use of the Servqual questionnaire. The outcome of the questionnaire
showed a value of -0,73, which is below the zero point, where customer perceptions
meet their expectations. A model for the successful implementation of a customer
service programme was recommended. This model consists of five points i.e.
establishing of organisational values and goals, determination of the present state of
customer satisfaction, the identification of causes relating to the poor levels of service,
the implementation of actions to rectify the poor levels of service and measuring and
monitoring of these actions.
It was recommended that with the total commitment from top management, a program
can be successfully launched that will lead to a change in the approach to customer
service and an improvement in the level of service to customers.MBA, Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Educations, 2000

Full textAbstract:
In this dissertation the connection that is assumed between homosexuality and death in Western culture is investigated. The way in which this connection manifests in terms of a heteronormative aids discourse in literary works with homosexuality and aids as themes, is examined in view of queer theory. Three novels are identified as queer readings of a heteronormative aids discourse, namely Ek stamel en sterwe (1996) by Eben Venter, In the city of shy hunters (2001) by Tom Spanbauer and Het derde huwelijk (2006) by Tom Lanoye.
The extensive terrain of queer theory is investigated with specific focus on the underlying poststructuralist and deconstructive principles which are specifically concerned with the nature and function of language and sign systems. Consequently, queer theory is circumscribed in order to serve as theoretical instrument with which to determine the undermining operation of literary works. With regard to poststructuralist ideas in queer theory, the aids epidemic, together with social and cultural reaction to it, is read and analysed as discourse. Using principles of queer theory, the heteronormative aids discourse is analysed with regard to preconceived notions pertaining to homosexuality, aids and death. With the discussion of queer theory and a heteronormative aids discourse as basis, the three novels are discussed and analysed. The novels? representations of homosexuality and aids are discussed, together with the way in which the novels make use of queer strategies to undermine a heteronormative aids discourse. It is shown that the novels supply queer representations of aids and aids patients, which resist heteronormative assumptions about biological sex and sexual identity. The novels accentuate the role of language and the performative function and nature of language, and bring to light the process of heteronormative signification. The novels also expose the inherent instability, incoherency and artificiality of a heteronormative discourse by applying queer strategies like creative appropriation and resignification, teatralisation, revelation and demystification to the components of the discourse.Thesis (MA (Linguistics and Literary Theory))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012.

Full textAbstract:
Stilspraak, Strijdom van der Merwe en Landkuns is ’n populêr-wetenskaplike kunsboek en bestaan uit drie hoofafdelings. Die geskiedenis van landkuns wat in deel een bespreek word kom uit twee lande, naamlik die Verenigde State van Amerika (VSA) en Nederland. Ten eerste is dit ’n momentopname van landkuns aan die begin van die een-en-twintigste eeu en word Van der Merwe vervolgens met hierdie publikasie geplaas binne die internasionale konteks van landkuns.

Full textAbstract:
The origin of the stability of aperiodic systems is very difficult to answer. Often the terms ‘competitive forces’ or ‘frustration’ have been proposed as the origin of stability. The role of Fermi surfaces and Brillouin zone boundary have also been invoked. This chapter deals with the numerous attempts which have been proposed for a better understanding. First, the Landau theory of phase transition, which has often been applied to understand the stability of incommensurate and composite systems, is presented here. Various semi-microscopic models are also proposed, in particular the Frenkel–Kontorova and Frank–Van der Merwe models, as well as spin models. Phase diagrams have been calculated with some success with the ANNI and DIFFOUR models. For quasicrystals, only the simplest general features are found in model systems. For a better understanding, more complex calculations are required, using, for example, ab initio methods. The chapter also discusses electronic instabilities, charge-density systems, Hume–Rothery compounds, and the growth of quasicrystals.

Full textAbstract:
This chapter examines how the trial of Jacob Zuma, former deputy president of South Africa. spawned questions of “Zulu” as a pure language and Zuma as “100% Zulu Boy.” After Zuma was implicated in corruption, he was dismissed by President Thabo Mbeki. In November 2005, he was indicted for rape. His supporters, demonstrating outside the Johannesburg High Court, wore t-shirts with the slogan “100% Zulu Boy,” and Zuma himself explained his actions in terms of Zulu culture. Judge Willem van der Merwe, who opened his address in Zulu. acquitted Zuma. The chapter considers how, during Zuma's trial, the codes of ilobolo (bridewealth) and inhlawulo (forfeit, fine) reduce everything to a set of heterosexual assumptions, functioning within a patriarchy, but more importantly—like the idea that if one is raped one must be a lesbian—they tend in practice to leave aside, or negotiate away, the matter of consent.
