Full textAbstract:
The information needed for any law related research problem ultimately must be found in the law as expressed in the primary sources inter alia in statutes and cases. In addition secondary sources, for example textbooks, law journals, digests, indexes, dictionaries, encyclopaedias and loose-leaf publications are used to provide citations to relevant statutes and cases. In the past jurists were bound to make use of the basically chronological publication of statutes and cases and secondary resources in library holdings which were mainly in printed format. Nowadays the Internet can be used as additional source of information to find federal and state cases, statutes and regulations of countries worldwide as well as various other legal and non-legal information commonly in demand by jurists. Expert witness information, public and company information as well as trademark and copyright information are some of the resources available to the legal profession on the Internet (Adkins, 1997a:2). The question is whether jurists are aware of this additional information source and whether they are skilled in search techniques in order to efficiently and effectively retrieve relevant documents.
According to Adkins (1997b:1) a problem most researchers face when using any new research tool is the "comfort factor". That is, researchers are comfortable using research tools with which they are familiar. It is very difficult to venture out of that mode, especially when computers and technology come into play. The Internet though, can be a boon in certain areas of the law and according to Bekker (1997:70) legal research is in some cases not completely done if the Internet was not used during the research.
Research procedures and methodology
A study of literature was done in order to determine the special skills legal researchers need when conducting legal research on the Internet. Steps in the legal research process were studied and the role of the library in the process of information retrieval, researched. Recent criteria for the rating of legal information on the Internet were identified and discussed. A qualitative study has been performed as to ascertain the state of awareness and the use of Internet resources by legal researchers. A questionnaire was used to investigate the information needs and research activities of a group of legal researchers at three South African academic institutions.
The aim of the study
This study is aimed at analysing the informational needs of jurists, in particular that of the academic legal researcher and to determine the information sources of law needed during the legal research process. To scout the existence of authoritative legal information on the Internet and if there is, to determine whether academic legal researchers are aware of the availability of Internet resources as additional information to be accessed and whether they dispose of the skills needed to retrieve the information. To further examine academic legal researchers' present use of the Internet and the extent to which it facilitates the research process as well as to determine whether the information retrieved from the Internet is considered of high quality and substance with regard to academic legal researchers' needs.
Conclusion
In conclusion the library's contribution in making Internet legal information more accessible was investigated in an attempt to answer to legal researchers' information needs. Though often described as the "information super highway", the Internet however, has a long way to go before it becomes an electronic replacement for the thousands of old cases and law review articles found in law libraries. As any sort of information can be made available via the Internet, organised knowledge could easily get damaged or lost in the vast amounts of other data (Floridi, 1996:51). Standardised methods of organising Internet resources and developing effective methods of information retrieval has become part of the task of the librarian as network navigator.
In the light of the core findings it is infered that legal researchers do to a certain extent need some of the information resources the Internet potentially holds, but that various problems are experienced during information retrieval. Using the Internet requires certain skills, for example the use of search engines, Web directories and ListServ lists in retrieving relevant information and the knowledge as to evaluating the relevance, authenticity and quality of the retrieved information. Consequently this study is an endeavour to emphasise the importance of information retrieval skills in order to assure the retrieval of accurate and relevant information and to make an appeal on libraries to further the use of the Internet by developing and implementing ways to make the Internet more accessible.Thesis (M.Bibl.)--Potchefstroom University for Christian Higher Education, 2000.

Robinson, Tanya Marie. "Parenting plans : the development of substantive guidelines for professionals / by Tanya Marie Robinson." Thesis, North-West University, 2010. http://hdl.handle.net/10394/4700.
Full textAbstract:
Parenting plans are a new concept for professionals in South Africa working in the field of divorce.
Emphasis has been placed on the development of parenting plans by including the concept of
parenting plans in section 33 of the Children’s Act 38 of 2005. Professionals are now confronted
with formulating adequate parenting plans which are focussed on the best interest standard of the
child(ren) and that will assist the family with its functioning post–divorce.
The aim of this research was to develop substantive guidelines that can assist the professional in
drafting parenting plans. To achieve this aim, the following objectives guided the study:
* To provide the legal context of parenting plans in South Africa. A legal context of parenting
plans in South Africa is discussed by way of a literature study through an intensive analysis
and critical discussion on a number of legal instruments pertaining to children, such as the
Children’s Act 38 of 2005; the Constitution of the Republic of South Africa, 1996; the United
Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) and the African Charter on the Rights
and Welfare of the Child (ACRWC).
* To ascertain the views of mental health professionals (social workers and psychologists) and
legal professionals (attorneys and family advocates) with regard to the divorcing family and
parenting plans. The views of mental health professionals and legal professionals with
regard to the divorcing family in respect of parenting plans were established. Professionals
completed an electronic questionnaire that consisted of open questions to establish their
views. Further telephonic interviews with the professionals were facilitated to gain further
insight into the professional view points on the issue of divorcing families and parenting
plans.
* To ascertain the needs of the divorcing family (parents and child(ren)) and to present these
needs in the structuring of a parenting plan. The needs of the divorcing family (parents and
child(ren)) were established through an explorative approach by means of a document study and electronic questionnaires that were completed by the family members. Through this
exploration the researcher obtained an understanding of the needs of the divorcing family
related to parenting plans.
* To provide professionals with comprehensive and clear guidelines on the basic structure and
general content of a parenting plan. Comprehensive and clear guidelines on the basic
structure and general content of a parenting plan were constructed for professionals
working in this area, based on findings of articles 1, 2 and 3 of this research. The researcher
also relied on her background and training as a qualified social worker to construct these
guidelines.
It was concluded that professionals are not necessarily well equipped to structure high quality
parenting plans. Guidelines ought to assist the professionals to structure plans that are well
organised, practical, child–centred, developmentally appropriate, and representative of the divorcing
family needs.
The researcher believes that as parenting plans are obligatory for parents that divorce, there is a
need for South African research on this subject matter. This study is a contribution in the research
field as to assist the professionals with the task of compiling parenting plans for the divorcing family.
In addition this study adds value to the forensic field by setting guidelines on the structuring of
parenting plans that empower the professional to work in this challenging field.Thesis (Ph.D. (Social Work))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2011.

Full textAbstract:
Poverty is a reality facing farm workers in South Africa. These communities are
characterized by extreme poverty with the women facing the worst conditions.
One of the main causes of poverty in these communities is illiteracy and the lack
of skills to generate an income to provide in their basic needs.
The general objective of this study was to use an educational intervention
program to develop the practical skills of female farm dwellers and to make them
aware of how the skills could possibly be used to generate a second income
which could lead to an improvement in their living conditions. The specific
objectives were to plan and develop an educational intervention program, to
implement the program to develop the female farm dwellers' practical skills and
to make recommendations on how the female farm dwellers can possibly use
their acquired skills to generate a second income.
The research strategy included an in depth literature study on poverty, farm
workers, adult education, community development, capacity building, income
generation and intervention research. A conceptual framework was developed
from the obtained literature. Data was obtained using both qualitative and
quantitative methods: the development in skills of the respondents was
measured using nine practical pre-and post-tests. The products of the
respondents were evaluated by two assessors to determine if the quality was
satisfactory to possibly sell. Structured focus group discussions were conducted
to evaluate the presentation of the program.
The conclusion can be made that the practical skills of the women were
developed, but the products were not of sufficient quality to sell for income
generation purposes. It is recommended that the women practice these skills to
produce products of sufficient quality to sell.Thesis (M. Consumer Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Full textAbstract:
The nasal administration of drugs offers advantages over
administration by intravenous injection. Drugs can be rapidly absorbed through
the nasal mucosa, resulting in a rapid onset of action, and also avoiding
degradation in the gastro-intestinal tract and first-pass metabolism in the liver.
Targeting the brain via nasal administration offers potential for the development of
new drug products. The olfactory cells are in direct contact with both the
environment and the central nervous system (CNS). The olfactory pathway thus
circumvents the blood-brain barrier (BBB), which prevents many systemically
administered drugs from entering the brain. A literature study concerning the
anatomy a nd physiology oft he nose, factors affecting the absorption of nasally
administered drugs; different mechanisms to enhance nasal drug absorption as
well as the general characteristics of prochlorperazine edisylate were performed.
As a result of the literature study, it was concluded that the nasal route is suited for
administration and absorption of prochlorperazine edisylate. The aim of this study
was to compare the concentrations of prochlorperazine found in plasma and brain
tissue of rats, after intravenous, oral and intranasal administration. Methods: In
order to investigate the objective, a dose of 0.167 mg/kg prochlorperazine
edisylate was administered intravenously (100 µI), nasally (50 µl) and 1.333 mg/kg
was administered orally (100 µl). The concentrations were corrected for the
different dosages in order to compare the respective bioavailabilities. The nasal
bioavailability of prochlorperazine was investigated in a rat model: uptake in the
brain tissue and plasma levels were compared after intravenous, oral and
intranasal administration. A liquid-liquid extraction method for the quantitative
determination of prochlorperazine in brain tissue and a solid-phase extraction
method for the quantitative determination of prochlorperazine in plasma were
used. The concentrations of prochlorperazine in plasma and brain tissue were
measured with high performance liquid chromatography. Results: The results
indicate that the nasal administration of prochlorperazine is an easy and workable
alternative to intravenous injections, which may enhance patient compliance.
Nasal absorption: The concentration-time profile achieved after nasal
administration of prochlorperazine is similar to that achieved after intravenous
administration. The absorption of prochlorperazine edisylate from the nasal cavity
into the systemic circulation was rapid and almost complete. The AUC-values,
used as an indication of the extent of absorption, for the intravenous (3371.47 ±
173.79 ng/ml/h), intranasal (2936.71 ± 189.65 ng/ml/h) and oral routes of
administration (718.07 ± 42.74 ng/ml/h) were compared. Compared to the
intravenous route of administration (100%), the nasal route showed an absolute
bioavailability of 87.10% and the oral route 21.30%. A low oral bioavailability was
achieved, as expected, due to degradation in the gastro-intestinal tract and firstpass
metabolism in the liver. Uptake into the brain tissue: The concentration-time
profiles of prochlorperazine in brain tissue showed no increased maximum
concentrations of drug after nasal administration compared to intravenous
administration. However, this concentration was retained longer after nasal
administration compared to intravenous administration. No direct evidence for
transfer along the olfactory pathway was shown with prochlorperazine. The
intranasal/intravenous brain tissue concentration ratio exceeded one after 30 and
45 minutes after nasal administration at a pH of 6.6 and 4.65 respectively,
indicating that after these time intervals the concentrations of nasally administered
prochlorperazine in the brain tissue were higher than those after intravenous
administration. Prochlorperazine concentrations in the brain tissue were
significantly higher after nasal administration than after oral administration.
Significant concentrations of prochlorperazine were found in the brain tissue as
early as 5 minutes after nasal administration. The AUC-values after nasal
(96745.32 ± 3649.65 ng/g/h), intravenous (90051.71 ± 6189.75 ng/g/h) and oral
administration (12507.20 ± 1248.01 ng/g/h) indicated that the nasal/intravenous
AUC ratio in brain tissue was found to be greater than one. Conclusion: Nasal
administration of CNS-active anti-emetic drugs with low oral bioavailability could
be used as an alternative for the intravenous route of administration. The lipophilic
drug, prochlorperazine was rapidly and almost completely absorbed after nasal
administration. These molecules appeared rapidly in the brain tissue. Although
hard evidence of direct transfer from the nose remains elusive, the fact that a higher
AUC-value was obtained after nasal than after intravenous administration was
evidence enough that the olfactory route does contribute to the delivery of drugs to
the brain after nasal administration.Thesis (M.Sc. (Pharm.))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Bothma, Tanya. "Investigating the role of the NO-cGMP pathway in an animal model of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) / Tanya Bothma." Thesis, North-West University, 2004. http://hdl.handle.net/10394/477.
Full textAbstract:
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a severe anxiety disorder characterised by
hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA)-axis abnormalities, hyperarousal, anxiety,
flashbacks of trauma memories and avoidance. Increasing evidence is now
accumulating that the disorder is also associated with shrinkage of the hippocampus
and cognitive dysfunction that may have its origin in stress-induced excitotoxicity.
Animal studies have indeed highlighted a potential role of the excitotoxic glutamatenitric
oxide (NO) pathway in the stress response. Since PTSD appears to be an
illness that progresses and worsens over time after an initial severe traumatic event,
this study has used an animal model that emphasises repeated trauma to investigate
the effect of stress on hippocampal NO synthase (NOS) activity, the release of the
nitrogen oxide metabolites of NO (NOx), and also the evoked release of cGMP.
Furthermore, the modulation and dependency of these responses on glutamate, NO
and cGMP activity using drugs selective for these targets, will also be investigated.
Rats (n=10/group) were exposed to repeated stress together with saline or drug
administration immediately after the stress procedure and continuing for one week
post-stress. The animals were then sacrificed for assay of hippocampal NOS activity,
NO, and cGMP accumulation. Animals received either the glutamate-NMDA receptor
antagonist, memantine (MEM;5mg/kg ip/d), the neuronal NOS selective inhibitor, 7-
nitroindazole monosodium salt (7-NINA;20mg/kg ip/d), the cGMP-specific PDE
inhibitor, sildenafil (SIL;10mg/kg ip/d) or the NFkb antagonist, pyrollidine
dithiocarbamate (PDTC;70mg/kg ip/d). The latter inhibits the nuclear transcription
factor, NFkb, responsible for inducing the expression of iNOS, while it also appears
to mediate the glutamatergic actions on NOS expression,
Stress significantly increased hippocampal NOS activity, as well as significantly
increased hippocampal cGMP and NO, levels. These increases were blocked by pretreatment
with either PDTC or 7-NINA, while memantine was without effect. Sildenafil
significantly augmented stress induced NO, accumulation, as well as cGMP.
although the latter failed to reach significance. 7-NINA and memantine significantly
blocked the increase in cGMP evoked by time-dependent sensitisation (TDS)-stress,
with PDTC attenuating this response, but not significantly. Additionally, administration
of each drug separately for seven days without exposure to stress, did not evoke
significant changes in NOx levels, compared to the control group. However,
significant increases in cGMP levels, compared to the control group, were found with
all four drugs.
Repeated trauma therefore activates the NO-cGMP pathway, possibly involving
actions on both nNOS and iNOS. The NMDA receptor appears less involved after
chronic repeated stress, and may have limited therapeutic implications. Sub-cellular
NO-modulation, however, may represent an important therapeutic strategy in
preventing the effects of severe stress and in treating PTSD.Thesis (M.Sc. (Pharmacology))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2005.

Full textAbstract:
This dissertation deals with the translation into Italian of selected passages from the Young Adult historical novel Apache – Girl Warrior by English author Tanya Landman. The book was chosen after contacting Italian publisher Settenove, dedicated to preventing gender-based violence through children's books and essays. The novel, set in the second half of the Nineteenth Century, tells the story of Siki, a fourteen years old Native American girl who decides to become a warrior in order to avenge her family, killed by the Mexicans. The story also deals with the contact and conflict between Native Americans and white settlers during the so-called Apache Wars.
Chapter I deals with Apache's genre; it consists in an overview of the historical novel form and its diffusion, both in Italy and in the English-speaking world. Typical features and themes are also dealt with in this chapter.
Chapter II is dedicated to Apache's author. Landman's other works and her mission as a writer are taken into account, as well as the inspirations that led her to writing the novel and the process of research on American history it involved. This chapter also includes a comparison between Tanya Landman's and Louise Erdrich's works.
In chapter III, Apache is compared to two well-known novels for children and young adults, The little house on the prairie and Caddie Woodlawn; the aim of this is to demonstrate how widespread misrepresentations about Native Americans are in mainstream literature.
Chapter IV analyzes the novel and serves as an introduction to its translation, focusing on its plot, themes, characters and language, while chapter V presents the passages I've chosen to translate; their translation can be found later in the same chapter. In chapter VI, I comment on the choices made during the translation process; translation problems are divided into culture-specific, stylistic, semantic and linguistic.

Full textAbstract:
Mental retardation is a heterogeneous group of disorders with countless causes. It is
characterised by cognitive and functional limitations in everyday skills, for example
social skills, communication skills and motor skills and can be classified in behavioural,
etiological and educational systems. Down's syndrome and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome are
two of the many syndromes defined under mental retardation. The goal of this
dissertation was to determine the effect of a water activity intervention programme on the
motor proficiency levels of children with Down's syndrome and Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome. These aims were addressed by structuring the dissertation in five chapters:
Chapter one constituting the introduction and statement of the problem, Chapter 2
presenting a review of relevant literature, Chapters 3 and 4 consisting of two research
articles, addressing the specific aims of the study, and Chapter 5 including the summary,
conclusions and recommendations.
All the children who participated in the study were intuitionalized in a school for the
mentally and physically handicapped. The MABC-test was used as the main evaluation
instrument, and components of the Charlop-Atwell test were used to evaluate the
coordination skills of the children with Down's syndrome.
The first aim of this study was to determine the effect of a specially designed water
activity intervention programme on the motor proficiency levels of children with Down's
syndrome. Six children classified as having Down's syndrome, formed part of the
research group. Their chronological age ranged between 9 and 14 years while their
mental age classification was that of a 4 to 5 year old. The data was analysed by means
Summary
of descriptive statistics, and effect sizes were determined. The second aim of the study
was to determine the effect of a water activity intervention programme on the motor
proficiency levels of children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Six children participated in
the programme. Their chronological age ranged between 7 and 17 years while their
mental age classification was that of a 4 to 11 year old. Reporting the results were in the
form of case studies, and effect sizes of differences were determined.
With regard to the first aim of the study the results indicated that the motor proficiency
levels of the experimental group with Down's syndrome improved, especially regarding
the MABC-total, balance- and total body coordination skills.
With reference to the second aim of the study, the results indicated that improvement in
the motor proficiency levels of the children with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome had a lasting
effect. The MABC total, ball skills and manual dexterity were the components that
showed the best improvement.
It can be concluded that a water activity intervention programme is a suitable method for
rectifying motor deficiencies among children with Down's syndrome and Fetal Alcohol
Syndrome.
Recommendations for the improvement of the water activity programme were presented,
as well as suggestions for further studies.Thesis (M.A. (Human Movement Science))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2004.

Full textAbstract:
This study which focusses on a coastal Swahili society, examines the economic, political and social evolution of the Tangan Muslim community through the various phases of its history. The study pays specific attention to the role played by religious leaders, whether as competitors, or simply as madrasa teachers in a community with a tradition of Islamic scholarship. At the macro-level, the relationship between various Muslim organizations and the state also receives our scrutiny. This is done through analysis of the educational system and its structuring of the social order. Finally, we assess the views of the Tangan religious leadership regarding religion and society against a general discussion of intra-religious issues and political developments in the country, thereby achieving a better understanding of Islam in contemporary Tanzania.

Publicación a texto completo no autorizada por el autorAnaliza la relación existente entre la economía tradicional regida por antiguos patrones culturales y la economía de mercado, que tampoco es ignorada por los pobladores de Tanta, al contrario, tras la búsqueda de ser favorecidos combinan hábilmente y de manera interesante ambos sistemas económicos, constituyendo una estrategia de aprovechamiento con una racionalidad propia como respuesta a la condición desfavorable ante la economía de mercado. En este sentido, se pone énfasis sobre la persistencia de un sistema económico ancestral en el actual contexto económico predominante y los factores que hacen posible su vigencia. En el presente trabajo se utilizó el método de la etnografía clásica priorizando el análisis comparativo, puesto que el método comparativo constituye uno de los principales métodos dentro de las Ciencias Sociales - especialmente en la Antropología – que permite explicar y analizar el modo en que rigen las estructuras y los procesos sociales al interior de las sociedades. Las técnicas utilizadas para el recojo de información en el trabajo de campo fueron principalmente las entrevistas semi-estructuradas, aplicadas a los artesanos textiles, arrieros, autoridades comunales y municipales, adulto mayor y población en general. También fue muy importante la observación participante y no participante al interior de la localidad de Tanta y en los viajes interzonales realizados por los tanteños para el desarrollo del intercambio por servicios y productos. Por último se recopiló información bibliográfica existente en la misma zona y en la ciudad de Lima. El presente trabajo comprende tres partes: la primera parte trata sobre los aspectos generales de la localidad de Tanta, donde se toca los temas de localización, demografía, educación y la reseña histórica. La segunda parte aborda el aspecto de la economía de Tanta, el cual comprende cuatro ejes temáticos principales: la producción ganadera, el arrieraje, el sistema de intercambio por trueque y servicios y la importancia de la producción textil, todos estrechamente relacionados unos con otros. Y en la tercera parte se hace un análisis sobre el tema central abordado en el presente trabajo. Finalmente, en las conclusiones se presenta algunos aportes del presente estudio.

Esta pesquisa se propõe a falar de leitura, na perspectiva daquilo que entende Roger Chartier: como uma prática. Nessa direção, me proponho a investigar práticas de leituras de alunos de 2º ano do Ensino Médio de três escolas de Florianópolis, com o objetivo de colher elementos que possibilitem situar em que momento a escola intervém de modo mais incisivo no processo de formação do leitor. Procuro demonstrar também outros agentes que atuam nesse processo e em que medida o livro é um bem cultural para o aluno. As práticas de leituras são rastreadas por meio da aplicação de um questionário e de entrevista oral, ambos com questões retrospectivas a respeito das histórias de leituras dos alunos. A memória, portanto, é o canal através do qual essas práticas de leituras são trazidas à luz, e é abordada na perspectiva da psicologia social, apoiando-me, entre outros autores, em Ecléa Bosi e Michel Pollak.

Full textAbstract:
In Peru, research and practices that contribute to Andean natural resources’ sustainable management are needed. The Nor Yauyos Cochas Landscape Reserve is home to a wild vicugna population, which can be viewed as a key resource for conservation and sustainable development. However, some activities of Tanta Peasant Community impact negatively on vicugna’s habitat. The research aimed to determine spatial relations and impacts of Tanta’s activities on vicugna’s habitat and distribution over communal territory.A participatory mapping workshop was applied to determine vicugna’s actual distribution and local activities that could influence vicugna’s habitat. The species’ potential habitat was estimated with a species distribution model named Maxent. Spatial relations between vicugna’s actual distribution, its potential habitat and communal activities were analysed. Results indicate that potential habitat is determined by environmental conditions, while human presence and domestic livestock determine vicugna’s actual distribution. Based on the research process, recommendations relating vicugna’s sustainable management in the study area are given.The results are valuable to local community and conservation agents. Main contributions consist in generating a space for exchanging knowledge during the workshop, as well as the integration of analysis methods in physical and human geography.En el Perú son necesarias investigación y prácticas que contribuyan al manejo sostenible de los recursos alto-andinos. La Reserva Paisajística Nor Yauyos Cochas alberga una población silvestre de vicuñas, que pueden ser clave para la conservación y desarrollo sostenible. Sin embargo, en la Comunidad Campesina de Tanta algunas actividades impactan negativamente en el hábitat de la vicuña. La investigación buscó determinar las relaciones espaciales e impactos de las actividades de la Comunidad Campesina de Tanta sobre el hábitat y la distribución de la vicuña en el territorio comunal. Mediante un taller de mapeo participativo se determinaron la distribución actual de las vicuñas y las actividades comunales que pueden influir sobre su hábitat. El hábitat potencial de la especie se estimó con el modelo de distribución de especies Maxent. Se analizaron las relaciones espaciales entre la distribución actual de la vicuña, su hábitat potencial y las actividades comunales. Los resultados indican que el hábitat potencial está determinado por condiciones ambientales, mientras que la distribución actual está determinada por la presencia humana y del ganado doméstico. En base al proceso de investigación se incluyen recomendaciones en relación al manejo sostenible de la vicuña en el área de estudio. Los resultados son de interés para la comunidad local y agentes de conservación. Aportes principales consisten en la generación de un espacio de intercambio de conocimientos en el taller, así como la integración de métodos de análisis en geografía física y humana.

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MEng)--Stellenbosch University, 2015.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Tana River, the largest river in Kenya, is an important habit that supports numerous types of life, which creates an attractive environment. Occasionally loss of life and damage to property are experienced during floods. Upstream development of hydropower generation dams without consideration of downstream impacts is well documented in literature and the aftermaths are being well exhibited currently. The aim of the thesis is to investigate and identify factors that affect the flood levels in the Tana River Delta by using a two dimensional model and eventually drawing up a velocity- water depth interaction hazard classification map. Reviews of the literature clearly established that the floods in the delta are not generated by internal rainfall only but also operation of upstream dams accounting for 95% of the flood levels. Consequently, investigations of the impacts of dams have on flow regime were carried out. Probabilistic analysis revealed that post dam seasonal patterns has not been impacted but the magnitude of flood peaks has generally declined due to the attenuation of small peaks. However, large/flash floods (10 year Annual Recurrence Interval (ARI) spill at the dams causing major flooding downstream. Further probabilistic analysis on river discharges and sea water level was carried out to determine various ARI peaks. This incorporated climate change based on the 4th IPCC report. A two-dimensional hydrodynamic model was set up and calibrated with recorded discharges and theoretically derived parameters. Impacts of extreme tidal levels were investigated on the water levels and other factors limiting flood propagation. Finally, the model was used to simulate the 2, 50 and 100 year ARI inclusive of climate change floods and, based on Australian guidelines, flood lines and hazard maps were drawn. The results show that high tides elevate water levels in the delta in combination with the bottleneck effect at the rechanneled canal. The road crossing through the delta has inadequate bridges to convey the floods. The derived flood maps drawn (Figure 6-4) highlight that settlements in the lower delta are located within the 2 year ARI flood lines and that the extent of flooding is similar or less so in 50 and 100 year ARI flood peaks simulated. The model predicted the velocity and water depths with sufficient accuracy and recommendations are made that the study area should be extended upstream, and more field data should be collected to aid in calibration and that land use should be incorporated in flood map classification. In conclusion, the thesis has identified the flood hotspots and factors governing floods. These findings could assist in decision making by various agencies proposing flood mitigation or advocating post dam flooding scenarios.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die Tanarivier is die grootste rivier in Kenia en ’n belangrike habitat vir verskeie tipes diere en plante wat ‘n aantreklike omgewing skep.Verlies aan lewens en skade aan eiendom vind egter somtyds tydens oorstromings plaas. Die bou van damme vir die ontwikkeling van hidrokrag hoër op in die rivier sonder om die impak laer af in ag te neem, asook die gevolge daarvan, word dikwels in die lireratuur beskryf. Die doel met hierdie tesis is om die faktore wat die vloedhoogtes in die Tanarivier beïnvloed met die gebruik van ’n twee-dimensionele hidrodinamiese model te ondersoek en te identifiseer en om dan ’n gevaarsonekaart te teken wat die interaksie tussen waterspoed en -diepte toon. Die oorsig van die literatuur het getoon dat die oorstromings in die delta nie die gevolg is van reën in die binneland nie, maar dat die damme hoër op in die rivier verantwoordelik is vir 95% van die oorstromings. Dus is die impak van die damme op oorstromings ondersoek. Waarskynlikheidsontleding het oor die algemeen getoon dat die na-dam seisoenale vloeipatrone nie beinvloed is nie, maar dat veral die kleiner vloedpieke in die algemeen afgeneem het as gevolg van vloedattenuasie deur die damme. Groter en frats oorstromings (>1:10 ARI) veroorsaak egter steeds dat die damme oorloop en lei tot ernstige oorstromings. Die verdere waarskynlikheidsontleding van riviervloei en die seewatervlak is uitgevoer om die verskillende Jaarlikse Herhaling Periode (JHP) vlakke vas te stel. Dit het klimaatsverandering gegrond op die 4de IPCC verslag ingesluit. ʼn Twee dimensionele hidrodinamiese model is opgestel en gekalibreer teen waargenome vloei en teoreties-afgeleide parameters is gekalibreer. Die impak van uiterste getyvlakke asook faktore wat die oorstromings beperk is ondersoek. Die model is toe gebruik om die 2, 50 en 100 JHP vloedoorstromings te simuleer en vloedlyne en gevaarkaarte is volgens die Australiese riglyne geteken. Die resultate toon dat hooggety die watervlak in die delta laat styg veral in kombinasie met die bottelnek effek van die nuwe kanaal. Daar is te min brûe op die pad wat die delta deurkruis, om die vloede se vloei deur te laat Die kaarte wat geteken is toon dat daar nedersettings in die laer delta binne die 2 JHP jaar vloedarea is en dat die omvang van oorstromings dieselfde of laer is as die 50 en 100 JHP jaar vloedpieke wat gesimuleer is. Die model kan gebruik word om die vloeispoed en waterdieptes redelik akkuraat te voorspel en die volgende aanbevelings word gemaak. Toestande hoër op teen die rivier moet ondersoek word, meer data wat gedurende kalibrasie gebruik kan word moet versamel word en grondgebruik moet in die kaartklassifikasie ingesluit word. Ten slotte is die gevaarpunte vir oorstromings en die faktore wat oorstromings veroorsaak aangetoon. Hierdie bevindinge kan van nut wees as besluite geneem moet word veral wat betref die voorkoming van oorstromings nadat damme gebou is.

Vergnerie, Reiko. "Ishikawa Takuboku et le tanka." Paris, INALCO, 1989. http://www.theses.fr/1989INAL0001.
Full textAbstract:
Le "tanka" est un poème court de 31 syllabes. Typique du japon et aussi ancien que la nation japonaise elle-même. Ishikawa Takuboku (1886-1912) est un poète de la fin de l'ère Meiji, dont la célébrité repose essentiellement sur le "tanka". Ma thèse se compose de trois parties, afin de bien situer Takuboku dans l'histoire de ce genre littéraire. La première partie dégage les caractéristiques de ce genre et son évolution depuis les origines jusqu'à Takuboku. Elle permet ainsi de mettre en relief la sclérose, due au traditionalisme, dans lequel le "tanka" était peu à peu tombé, et le souffle nouveau que Takubolu y a apporte. La seconde partie étudie le poète et son œuvre, sa vie et son œuvre étant indissolublement liés. J'y étudie l'évolution de l'auteur, du point de vue de sa pensée, de ses conceptions poétiques, et de son style qui, du romantisme échevèle de ses débuts, atteindra un réalisme dépouille, qui lui permettra de saisir dans cette forme si brève tous les problèmes fondamentaux de la société et de la vie humaine. Il bouscule la tradition et les préjuges, et fait entrer la poésie dans la vie quotidienne des gens. La troisième partie résume l'évolution du "tanka" depuis Takuboku jusqu'à nos jours et montre l'importance fondamentale de ce poète dans le renouveau du genre. Dans une période cruciale de l'histoire du Japon, ses "uta" transmettent la valeur individuelle de la vie humaine en une langue simple, mais chargée de vraie poésie. Il reste un modèle pour les nombreux auteurs de "tanka"A "tanka" is a short poem of 31 syllables, typical of Japan and as old as the Japanese nation itself. Ishikawa Takuboku (1886-1912) is a poet of the end of the Meiji era, whose fame rests essentially on "tanka". My thesis is composed of three parts, so as to place Takuboku as precisely as possible in the history of this literary genre. The first part treats of the characteristics of this genre from the origins to Takuboku. It allows to bring in full light the state of sclerosis, due to over respect to tradition, into which the "tanka" had fallen, and the new life Takuboku had brought to it. The second part is devoted to the poet and his work, as his life and his work are one. I trace the evolution of the author from the points of view of his ideas, of his views on poetry, and of his style which, from the super-romanticism of his first works, developed little by little into utter realism, which will allow him to encase into this narrow frame all the fundamental problems of society and of human life. He does not care much for tradition and prejudices, and doing so he brings poetry into the everyday life of people. The third part sums up the evolution of "tanka" from Takuboku to the present time and shows the outstanding importance of this poet for the new life of this genre. Written in a crucial moment of the history of Japan, his "uta" stress the value of individuality in human life, in a simple language but fraught with true poetry. He remains a model for numerous authors of "tanka"

Full textAbstract:
This master's thesis is a sketch grammar of the Austronesian North Tanna language of Vanuatu. The analysis is based on translations of a North Tanna and English version of the New Testament. This work is also an evaluation and experiment of using Bible translation as a primary source for investigating the grammatical features of a language. The result is an overview of the basic areas of the grammar of North Tanna, such as over all morphology with certain focus on verbal affixation, and some general observations on syntactical features such as valency, clause linking and subordination. There is no phonological analysis since the used data is in written form. The sketch is a base which can be used for further research to either study more of the grammar of North Tanna, or to do comparative work to other languages.

"Accumulation of poly- and perfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs) and mercury in fish tissue from Lake Tana, Ethiopia : Evaluation of human exposure due to increased fish consumption." Thesis, Uppsala universitet, Institutionen för geovetenskaper, 2015. http://urn.kb.se/resolve?urn=urn:nbn:se:uu:diva-264932.
Full textAbstract:
Both poly- and perfluoroalkylated substances (PFASs) and mercury (Hg) are persistent bioaccumulative, and toxic substances (PBTs) of great concern due to their health effects on humans. These pollutants are ubiquitously occurring in the global aquatic environment and dietary intake of fish is the major exposure pathway for humans. PFASs and Hg are widely studied in the temperate zones, but little is known from the tropical aquatic systems in Africa. Lake Tana, Ethiopia, is of high ecological value and predicted to increase its fish production and export during following years, but knowledge of human health effects due to bioaccumulated pollutants loading from this lake is lacking. The objective of this study was therefore to compare Hg and PFAS concentrations between sites and species, evaluate accumulation patterns and assess the human health risk with increased fish consumption. During October 2014, a total of 97 fish specimens from five species (Labeobarbus megastoma, Labeobarbus gorguari, Labeobarbus intermedius, Oreochromis niloticus and Clarias gariepinus) were collected from seven sites in Lake Tana. The fish was dissected in Bahir Dar, where a muscle sample was taken from the dorsal line, and later analyzed at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. To determine differences and correlations between sites and species as well as for Hg and PFASs, statistical analyses were conducted and to determine the health risks in increased fish consumption a hazard ratio (HR) was calculated for both substances. The results showed several similarities between Hg and PFASs, including higher concentrations in piscivorous fish species (L. megastoma and L. gorguari) than non-piscivorous and also spatial distribution similarities. Hg concentrations ranged from 0-639 ng g-1 wet weight (ww) with an overall mean of 137 ng g-1 ww for all species. Seven PFASs were detected (PFNA, PFDA, PFUnDA, PFDoDA, PFTeDA, PFBS, PFOS), and the ∑PFSA concentrations ranged from non-detected to 3.61 ng g-1 ww. PFDA was found in all sites and species, compared to PFOS, which only was found in piscivorous species in elevated levels. The positive correlation between Hg and PFOS imply that these substances have similar accumulation patterns. The HRs showed that increased fish consumption is harmless to the Ethiopian population regarding PFAS and Hg contamination. Varied fish consumption is of importance though since several individuals from the piscivorous species contained Hg concentrations exceeding the WHO marketing limit of 0.5 μg g-1 (500 ng g-1).Både poly- och perfluoralkylerade ämnen (PFASer) och kvicksilver (Hg) är persistenta, bioackumulerande och toxiska (PBT) ämnen som kan utgöra stor hälsorisk för människor. PFASer och Hg förekommer globalt i den akvatiska miljön och den mest betydande källan för mänsklig exponering av dessa ämnen är fiskkonsumtion. Studier av PFASer och Hg är vanligt förekommande i de tempererade zonerna, men väldigt lite är känt från de tropiska akvatiska systemen i Afrika. Lake Tana, Etiopiens största sjö, har stort ekologiskt värde och fiskproduktion och export från sjön förutspås öka under kommande år. Däremot saknas kunskap om hur denna föroreningsbelastning med ökat fiskintag kommer påverka befolkningen i landet. Syftet med denna studie var därför att jämföra Hg- och PFAS-koncentrationer mellan områden och arter, utvärdera ackumuleringsmönster och bedöma hälsoriskerna med ökad fiskkonsumtion i landet. Under oktober 2014 samlades totalt 97 individer in från fem arter (Labeobarbus megastoma, Labeobarbus gorguari, Labeobarbus intermedius, Oreochromis niloticus och Clarias gariepinus) och från sju olika platser i Lake Tana. Dissektionen utfördes i Bahir Dar (där muskelprover togs från dorsala rygglinjen) och sedan fördes proverna till Sveriges lantbruksuniversitet (SLU) för analys. För att bestämma skillnader och korrelationer mellan områden och arter, samt mellan Hg och olika PFASer, utfördes statistiska analyser och för att utvärdera hälsorisken av en ökad fiskkonsumtion beräknades riskfaktorer för båda ämnena. Resultaten påvisade flertalet likheter mellan Hg och PFASer, bland annat högre koncentrationer i piskivora fiskarter (L. megastoma and L. gorguari) än icke-piskivora och även likheter i koncentrationer mellan provområdena. Hg-koncentrationerna varierade mellan 0-639 ng g-1 våtvikt (vv), med ett medel på 137 ng g-1 vv för alla arter. Sju PFASer detekterades i analysen (PFNA, PFDA, PFUnDA, PFDoDA, PFTeDA, PFBS, PFOS), där ∑PFSA koncentrationerna varierade mellan icke-detekterbara till 3,6 ng g-1 vv. PFDA förekom i alla arter och områden, medan PFOS bara fanns i förhöjda värden i piskivora arter. Den funna positiva korrelationen mellan PFOS och Hg antyder att dessa ämnen har liknande ackumulationsmönster. De beräknade riskfaktorerna visade att en fiskkonsumtions-ökning inte skulle utgöra en risk för den etiopiska befolkningen med avseende på Hg- och PFAS-halter. En varierad fiskkonsumtion är dock av stor vikt eftersom flertalet individer från de piskivora arterna innehöll högre Hg-koncentrationer än den av WHO rekommenderade gränsen på 0,5 μg g-1 vv.

This study is based in Tana River National Primate Reserve (TRNPR), Kenya. The
reserve, established in 1976 to protect remnant patches of riverine forests from
increasing human pressure is home to two endemic endangered primate subspecies,
Tana River Red colobus (Colobus badius rufomitratus) and Tana River Crested
mangabey (Cercocebus galeritus galeritus). Habitat encroachment through indigenous
farming and forest uses was thought to be one of the causes of drastic colobus and
mangabey population decline after 1975. This study aimed at; generating information
on the impact of these human land-uses on the habitat, this would facilitate the
preparation of management recommendations which would improve the chances of
survival of primate habitats without compromising the welfare of indigenous people.
Using 3 sets of aerial photographs and a geographic information system, information on
land-use changes over time has been generated. A 3 month field work generated
information on agriculture, forest uses and other relevant socio-economic information.
Results from the study indicate that: (i) human population has increased by more than
two-folds between 1969 and 1991; (ii) this has not corresponded to a net increase in
forest area decrease or farm area increase; (iii) there has been a net increase in area
under forest and decrease in area under agriculture; (iv) spatial and temporal changes in
forest area explain colobus population crash observed between 1975 and 1985, (v)
indigenous farmers interviewed prefer a compromise, where they are allowed controlled
access to land within the reserve. They showed a keen knowledge of conservation costs
and benefits and cause-effect processes between humans and the environment.
Management recommendations advocate measures that encourage indigenous people to
be partners in conservation.
