Abstract:
With its exotic appearance and depictions in ancient Egyptian art and literature, the curved sword referred to as ’khopesh’ has been the source of much speculation. While its actual use as a weapon of war is debated, as is its level of effectiveness, there can be no doubt that it was a highly prestigious symbol of power. This essay aims to shed light on not only the practical aspects of such a weapon but also to delve into the cultural and in particular royal ideological roles. This is achieved through studying textual sources, representations in art and preserved examples of the weapon. Comparisons will also be made with other contemporary bladed weapons in Egypt and its vicinity. Aspects of metallurgy which allows for the making of swords will also be touched upon.

Abstract:
En läsbarhetsalgoritm utvärderar en text och ger den ett numeriskt värde som anses återspegla hur lättläst textenär. Syftet med denna kandidatexamensuppsats är att utifrån en diskussion om läsbarhetsbegreppet och läsbarhetsalgoritmen LIX (läsbarhetsindex) ta fram alternativa läsbarhetsalgoritmer,för att därefter utvärdera om dessa kan bedöma läsbarhet bättre än LIX. Utvärderingen sker med hjälp av texter ur två grupper,för varje text i den ena gruppen finns en motsvarande text i den andra med ett liknande innehåll och komplexitet men med en språkmässig skillnad. Materialet som kategoriserats som mer lättläst består av texter som belönats medden så kallade Klarspråkskristallen som årligen delas ut till statliga organ, exempelvis Riksbanken, som gjort framstående insatser för att göra sina publikationer mer lättlästa.Gruppen med texter som kategoriserats som mer svårlästa består av motsvarande publikationer ifrån dessa organ från åren innan de tilldelats Klarspråkskristallen.Resultatet av vårt arbete visade att alla algoritmer i testet kunde bedöma vilken av texterna som var mer lättläst i majoriteten av fallen. I ett teckenrangtest med signifikansnivån 5 % gick det dock inte att förkasta hypotesenatt algoritmerna inte kunde avgöra skillnaden mellan texterfrån de två grupperna. En unigramsalgoritm kunde visa ett resultat närmast den önskade statistisk signifikansen, då den på en åttaprocentig signifikansnivå kunde bedöma vilken av texterna som var mest lättläst.
A readability algorithm evaluates a text and gives it a numerical value to reflect the it’s readability. This paper discusses the readability algorithm LIX and the concept of readability. It also proposes some alternative readability algorithms and evaluates whether these algorithms can assess readability better than LIX. The evaluation was conducted with texts from two distinct categories. Every text in the first category has a corresponding text in the second one with a similar content but written in a way deemed as less readable. The materialcategorized as more readable consists of texts awarded with ”Klarspråkskristallen”, an annual award to governmentbodies, such as Riksbanken, which has made outstanding efforts to enhance the readability of their publications.The texts classified as less readable consists of corresponding publications from these bodies, published before they were given this award.The results of our study showed that all the algorithms for the majority of the texts could determine which text was more readable. However, in a signed-rank test at a 5 % significance level we could not reject the theory that the algorithms were not able to determine which text was more readable. A unigram algorithm showed results closest to the desired statistical significance, since it was ableto determine which of the texts was most readable at a significance level of 8 %.

Full text
Abstract:
89Y MAS NMR has been used to study the effects of substitution for Cu in YBa2(Cul_xMx)3O7 (M=V,Fe,Co,Ni,Zn,Al and Ga) and YBa2(Cu1,_yMy)4O8 (M=Zn and Fe). Substituted YBa2(Cu1_xMx)3O7 and YBa2(Cu1-yMy)4O8 samples have been characterized by means of XRD and A.C. susceptibility measurements. For YBa2(Cu1_xMx)3O7, a different behaviour is observed for the substitutions (Fe,Co,Al and Ga) which go into the chain site and change the structure to tetragonal, compared to the other substitutions (Ni and Zn). For chain site substitutions the room temperature shift increases linearly with concentration and the relaxation rate decreases whilst the shifts become more positive with decreasing temperature. For these chain site substitutions, changes in 89Y chemical shift have provided evidence for the existence of a true O-T transition. For these substitutions the shift and relaxation appear to obey a Korringa relation and the reduction in Tc is correlated with the change in shift indicating that suppression of Tc is due to the changes in N(EF). A similar temperature dependence of shift for chain site substituted samples with similar Tcs suggests that the Tc is related to the spin susceptibility in the Cu02 planes. Plane site substitutions have only a small effect on the shift, whilst increasing the relaxation rate at room temperature. The increased relaxation rate indicates that some form of magnetic scattering is produced by these substitutions and this combined with the small changes in shift and with the correlation between the reduction in Tc and the change in relaxation rate indicates that magnetic effects rather than hole doping are the cause of the reduction in Tc. In addition, MAS NMR data for 51V and 27A1 in V and A1 substituted YBa2Cu3O7 are presented. Both the 89Y behaviour and 51V data suggest that vanadium substitutes on the chain sites even though the structure remains orthorhombic. In the case of Fe and Zn substitution for Cu in YBa2(Cu1_yMy)4O8 a rapid decrease in Tc has been obtained. For Fe, as the dopant concentration increases, a nearly Korringa like behaviour has been observed, at room temperature, with an increase in shift and a decrease in relaxation rate. Zn substitution caused only a very small change in shift but an increase in relaxation rate. As was found for the plane site substituted YBa2(Cu1_xMx)3O7, this rapid increase in relaxation rate is again an indication for the existence of fluctuating magnetic fields. The correlation between T1-1 and Tc with Zn substitution suggests that magnetic effects are responsible for the rapid decrease in Tc. 89Y NMR data for YBa2Cu307 doped with Zn and Fe combined with that for YBa2Cu307 doped with Zn and Fe have suggested that Zn occupies the Cu(2) site and Fe substitutes into both Cu(l) and Cu(2) sites.

Abstract:
Sign language in Tanzania is a relatively new field of linguistics that is yet to attract many researchers and linguists in particular Tanzanian Sign Language (TSL) functions as a unifying tool for the deaf in the country and, probably, beyond. This language, which is still at its early stage of development, is used in the same linguistic environment with Kiswahili, the national language, which is more established. The situation leaves TSL disadvantaged and is thus likely to cause a one-way linguistic influence, from Kiswahili to TSL. This paper, therefore, examines the nature and impact of the situation. Firstly, it focuses on the question of whether or not TSL is an independent language that has developed as a seperate language, quite distinct from the spoken languages of the communities that surround it, especially Kiswahili. Secondly, it examines the extent to which Kiswahili has influenced TSL and thus the role that the former plays in learning and developing the latter. The results of the study show that Kiswahili has had some influence on TSL but the influence is marginal at lexical level. Of all the signs studied, only 13% were directly related to Kiswahili. The majority of the signs studied were found to be iconic in nature, but only 12% of all signs were semantically transparent. Even in these cases where the signs are transparent, the transparency of the signs is not based on one`s knowledge of Kiswahili. Most of the transparent signs are common gestures that any person of any ethnic origin can interpret. The study has thus established that TSL is more of a sign language than signed language. It is an indigenous African sign language, unrelated to the Western Sign Languages, except for the manual alphabet. Finally, the study predicts that much of the transperancy and iconicity in TSL will gradually fade away as the language develops across time, space, and generations.

Although the emphasis is on Tshivenḓa burials, the study has also examined the way burials are undertaken in other cultures such as Xhosa, Sotho, Indians, Xitsonga, Hindu, Greek and Muslim culture. The study shows that burials in Tshivenḓa are characterized by peculiar features. For instance the way the royal people are buried is different from the way the ordinary people are laid to rest. In addition, there are also special rituals that must be performed when children, women and men are buried. The study also includes to the fact that mordernity, has an impact on the manner in which the Vhavenḓa conduct their burials. In the past burials where cheap to conduct whereas these days they are relatively expensive. Lastly, the study has discovered that both old and modern forms of burials have advantages and disadvantages. It is, therefore, crucial for people to utilize the advantages of both the afore mentioned types of burial.

Abstract:
The essay critically discusses the confusing state of the various Swahili language policies and studies brought forth in the colonial and post-colonial periods and examines the historical factors of the diversity within the Swahili language, which was once confined to the coastal area and later spread to the present area of distribution. The discussion focusses on the construction of Standard Swahili and the status of Swahili in regard to other East African languages. Special criticism is raised against recent East African and other authors, who wrote on the apparent unity of the Swahili language which they see as a result of the modern Tanzanian language policy.

Abstract:
Konfidencialumas – tai svarbiausias mediacijos proceso bruožas, išskiriantis mediaciją iš kitų ginčų sprendimo procedūrų. Egzistuoja bendra taisyklė, kad visa rašytinė ir žodinė informacija atskleista mediacijos metu laikoma konfidencialia. Ginčo šalys, mediatoriai ir kiti mediacijos dalyviai įpareigojami laikyti paslaptyje ir neatskleisti informacijos susijusios su mediacija. Sėkminga mediacija paremta šalių pasitikėjimu bei atvirumu. Ginčo šalis nebijos atskleisti informacijos tik tuomet kai žinos, kad ta informacija nebus panaudota prieš ją pačią vėlesniame teismo ar arbitražo procese. Konfidencialumas skatina mediacijos proceso efektyvumą bei užtikrina mediatoriaus neutralumo ir nešališkumo reikalavimus. Europos Sąjungos institucijos įvertino mediacijos svarbą siekiant vieno iš pagrindinių ES politinių tikslų – teismų prieinamumo didinimo. Mediacija kaip neteisminė taikaus ginčų sureguliavimo procedūra gali perimti dalį ginčų ir taip tiesiogiai prisidėti prie teismų prieinamumo didinimo.

Modern Western states declaring the right to fair and speedy trial have faced serious obstacles while implementing it. The judicial procedure is suffering from severe caseload leading to a substantial delay and increasing costs in litigation. The situation resulted in growing public dissatisfaction with the formal court system and a justice as a whole. This encouraged the states to look for new dispute resolution mechanisms which could be alternative to litigation and could overtake certain disputes from courts leaving access to justice more available. In 1950’s USA introduced mediation in solving labor disputes. It showed a success and gained the support of legislation and judiciary which led to wide spread of mediation to other areas of dispute resolution: small claims, neighborhood, consumer, landlord-tenant, victim-offender, family, environmental disputes. Mediation can offer a cheaper, faster, less formal procedure compared to litigation. Mediation leaves the ultimate decision making process in the hands of the parties themselves. The third neutral person is only assisting the parties in developing the dialogue and reaching a mutually acceptable settlement of issues in dispute. This voluntarily reached settlement diminishes the friction between adverse parties, helps to maintain further amicable relations between parties and preserve the social peace and harmony. Confidentiality is regarded as a fundamental feature to effective mediation. It encourages candid and free... [to full text]

Abstract:
Tarptautinei mokslo bendruomenei bei socialinei politikai vis daugiau dėmesio skiriant gyventojų senėjimui, kultūriniai ir komunikaciniai jo aspektai lieka mažai tyrinėti. Šios disertacijos tikslas yra ištirti senatvės (senėjimo) tapatumą Lietuvoje, remiantis sociologine stigmos koncepcija. Šio tikslo siekiama, sujungiant priešiškumo vyresniam amžiui (ageism) ir stigmos tyrinėjimų sritis bei išryškinant jų bendrą vardiklį – diskriminaciją. Joje keliami klausimai: ar/kokiu mastu senatvė šiuolaikinėje Lietuvoje yra stigma? Kada ir kaip ja tapo? Kuo pasireiškia? Kaip senatvės stigma palaikoma? Atsakymų ieškoma, apžvelgiant istorinę nuostatų į senėjimą kaitą, tikrinant vyraujančias senėjimo tapatumo teorijas ir taikant Anthony Giddenso reflektyvaus Aš bei Ervingo Goffmano stigmos koncepcijas. Gynybai teikiami moksliškai nauji disertacijos teiginiai yra pagrįsti trijų empirinių tyrimų rezultatais: medijų tekstų analize, interviu su vyresnio amžiaus žmonėmis ir Europos socialinio tyrimo 4 bangos duomenų analize. Rezultatai leidžia daryti išvadą, kad senatvė Lietuvoje yra stigma: už verbaliai deklaruojamo palankaus požiūrio į senus žmones slypi priešiškumas. Masinėse medijose ir kasdienėse sąveikose aptinkama konstruojama ir internalizuota senatvės stigma. 60 m. ir vyresni Lietuvos gyventojai dažniau nei pažengusių Vakarų šalių vyresnio amžiaus žmonės patiria diskriminavimą - Lietuvos rezultatai panašūs į kitų pokomunistinių ir Viduržemio jūros šalių rezultatus.
While population ageing is attracting ever more attention of international scientific community and social policy, its cultural and communicative aspects remain underinvestigated. The goal of the dissertation is to investigate the old age (ageing) identity in Lithuania, applying the sociological concept of stigma. In the pursuit of this goal, the research areas of stigma and ageism are connected, highlighting their common denominator - discrimination. The following questions are raised: whether/to what extent old age is stigma in contemporary Lithuania? When and why old age did become stigma? What are manifestations of the old age stigma? How is it reproduced? Searching for answers the historical changes of attitudes towards ageing are reviewed, dominant theories of ageing identity are examined and the concepts of A.Gidden‘s reflexive self and E.Goffman‘s stigma are applied. Scientifically new theses presented for defense are grounded in the findings of three empirical investigations: media texts analysis, interviews with older people and data analysis of the European Social Survey Round 4. The results lead to conclusion that old age in Lithuania is an „open secret" type stigma: verbally favourable view of older people conceals discrimination. The constructed and internalized stigma is detected both in media and in everyday interactions. The level of discrimination experienced by Lithuanian population over 60 is close to other post-communist and Mediterranean countries.

Abstract:
A solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is an energy conversion device that has the potential to efficiently generate electricity in an environmentally-friendly manner. In general, a SOFC operates between 750°C and 1000°C utilizing hydrogen or hydrocarbons as fuel and air as an oxidant. The three major components comprising a fuel cell are the electrolyte, the cathode, and the anode. At present, the state-of-the-art SOFC is made from a dense yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) electrolyte, a porous lanthanum manganite cathode, and a porous nickel/YSZ composite anode. With the advent of the anode-supported SOFC and the increased interest in using a wider range of fuels, such as those containing sulphur, knowledge of the anode properties is becoming more important.
The properties of the current anodes are limited due to the narrow range of nickel loadings imposed by the minimum nickel content for electrical conductivity and the maximum allowable nickel loading to avoid thermal mismatch with the YSZ electrolyte. In addition, there is little research presented in the literature regarding the use of nickel metal as a starting anode material, rather than the traditional nickel oxide powder, and how porosity may affect the anode properties.
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the influence nickel morphology and porosity distribution have on the processing and properties of tape cast Ni/YSZ composites. Specifically, the sintering characteristics, electrical conductivity, and thermal expansion behaviour of tape cast composites created from YSZ, nickel, nickel oxide (NiO), nickel coated graphite (NiGr), and/or graphite (Gr) powders are investigated. In addition to samples made from 100% YSZ, 100% Ni, and 100% NiO powders, five composite types were created for this investigation: NiO/YSZ, NiO&Gr/YSZ, Ni/YSZ, NiGr/YSZ, and Ni&Gr/YSZ each with nickel loadings varying between 4 vol% Ni of total solids and 77 vol% Ni of total solids. Another set of composites with a fixed nickel loading of 27 vol% Ni and 47 vol% Ni of total solids and varying graphite loadings were also created.
During the burnout stage, the composites made from nickel oxide powder shrink slightly while the composites made from nickel metal expand due to nickel oxidation. Graphite additions below 20 vol% of the green volume do not alter the dimensional changes of the composites during burnout, but graphite loadings greater than 25 vol% of the green volume cause significant expansion in the thickness of the composites.
After sintering, the amount of volumetric sintering shrinkage decreases with higher nickel loadings and is greater for the composites made with nickel oxide compared to the composites made from nickel metal. The porosity generated in the composites containing graphite is slightly higher than the volume of graphite added to the composite and is much greater than the porosity contained in the graphite-free composites.
Dimensional changes of the porous Ni/YSZ and NiO/YSZ composites during both burnout and sintering were analysed based on concepts of constrained sintering of composite powder mixtures. In some cases constrained sintering was evident, while in others, a more simple rule of mixtures behaviour for shrinkage as a function of YSZ content was observed.
When nickel oxide is reduced to nickel metal during the reduction stage there is essentially no change in the composite volume for the composites containing YSZ because the YSZ prevents the composites from shrinking. After reduction the additional porosity generated in the composites is equivalent to the change in volume due to the reduction of nickel oxide to nickel metal.
When measuring the electrical conductivity, each composite type demonstrated classic percolation behaviour. The NiGr/YSZ composites had the lowest percolation threshold, followed by the Ni/YSZ and NiO/YSZ composites. When graphite was added with a nickel coating, the added porosity did not disrupt the nickel percolation network and allowed the nickel to occupy a larger effective volume compared to a composite made with similar sized solid nickel particles. When graphite was added to the composites, the electrical conductivity was reduced and the percolation threshold increased.
Generally, the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) for Ni/YSZ composites are expected to follow the rule of mixtures prediction since the elastic properties for nickel and YSZ are similar. However when porosity is distributed unevenly between the YSZ and nickel phases, the CTE prediction will deviate from the rule of mixtures. When cornstarch was added to the NiGr/YSZ composites, the CTE increased as the amount of porosity in the YSZ phase increased. The CTE of the NiGr/YSZ composites followed the rule of mixtures indicating that the porosity was evenly distributed between the nickel and YSZ phases. For the other composite types, the measured CTE was higher than the rule of mixtures prediction suggesting that more porosity was contained within the YSZ phase.

Nous avons aborde dans un premier temps quelques problemes relatifs a la croissance des monocristaux par methode de flux. Les temperatures critiques des echantillons sont fortement affectees en raison de la contamination par les impuretes provenant des creusets et des produits de depart utilises. Avec les creusets d'alumine ou alumine + or, on obtient des monocristaux de taille convenable. Par contre, la croissance dans un creuset de platine s'est averee delicate et ne permet pas d'obtenir des monocristaux ybco supraconducteurs. Par la suite, nous avons utilise la technique de mesure de couple et des mesures d'aimantation par un squid pour etudier les poudres orientees yba#2(cu#1#-#xfe#x)#3o#7#-# (x 0. 2). Nous avons montre que la substitution du cuivre par le fer dans yba#2cu#3o#7#-# s'accompagne de changements notables de la longueur d'ecrantage dans ce materiau, ainsi que de sa capacite a ancrer les lignes de flux. Nous avons mis en evidence que les changements induits dans la microstructure cristalline par la substitution permettent d'expliquer ces modifications, en considerant que la structure dite de tweed constitue un reseau dense sur lequel la supraconductivite est localement affaiblie. La sensibilite a des defauts de petite taille constitue, a notre avis, une propriete assez generale des oxydes supraconducteurs. En effet la petitesse de leur longueur de coherence les rend particulierement sensibles a des distorsions locales de leur structure. En ce sens, l'homogeneite des proprietes supraconductrices de tels materiaux doit etre consideree soigneusement, particulierement dans le cas de l'introduction des impuretes

Abstract:
Apparatus to measure the thermal conductivity of YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_7-δ) at temperatures between 20K and 120K has been designed and constructed. The thermal conductivity is measured using a longitudinal steady state heat flow technique. Thermal conductivity measurements have been performed upon a sample of YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_7-δ) which has been subjected to a series of heat treatments in order to remove oxygen from the material. The measurements show conclusively that the thermal conductivity of YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_7-δ) is very strongly influenced by the oxygen content of the material. A reduction of the oxygen content of the material results in a substantial lowering of the thermal conductivity. To explain this result, a quantitative model has been constructed; the model demonstrates that consideration of the changes in phonon interactions alone cannot account for the differences in the behaviour of the thermal conductivity of YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_6) and YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_7). In addition; the model, shows that there must be a significant carrier contribution to the thermal conductivity in both the normal and superconducting states. A physical process has been proposed which provides the required large carrier contribution below T(_c). Further studies have been performed on a series of samples of YBa(_2)Cu(_3)O(_7-δ) which were sintered at slightly different temperatures. Qualitative analysis of the physical properties, of these samples has been performed.

In der vorliegenden Arbeit wird erstmals systematisch der Einfluss von gasförmigen und festen Verunreinigungen auf das O2, Pt│YSZ- Elektrodensystem am praxisnahen Beispiel der Lambdasonde untersucht. Dazu wurden Festelektrolyt- und Elektrodenmaterialien unterschiedlicher Zusammensetzung und Morphologie den realen Abgasbedingungen nachempfundenen, chemischen und physikalischen Einflüssen ausgesetzt und in Bezug auf Langzeitstabilität, Sensitivität und Wirkmechanismen untersucht. Im Einzelnen lag der Fokus der Untersuchungen auf zwei Ausführungsformen von Elektroden, die sich vor allem durch mikro- bzw. nanoskalige Partikelgrößenverteilungen sowie der Platin/YSZ-Zusammensetzung unterschieden und als Mikro- bzw. Nano-Elektrode bezeichnet wurden. Der Einfluss von Siliciumdioxid als gezielt dem Festelektrolyten beigemischte intrinsische Vergiftung sollte in Wechselwirkung zu den extrinsischen Verunreinigungen wie Natriumionen, Wasserdampf und Phosphorpentoxid untersucht werden. Im Unterschied zu den in der Literatur betrachteten, vereinfachten Modellsystemen konnten damit erstmals Wechselwirkungen beschrieben werden, die zu einem tieferen Verständnis des realen Sensorverhaltens, vor allem der Degradation beitragen. Insbesondere ist es gelungen, ein Modell für die Sauerstoffreaktion an geschädigten Elektroden aufzustellen. Neben der bekannten elektrochemischen Reduktion von Sauerstoff spielen die Transportvorgänge an der Elektrodenoberfläche eine entscheidende Rolle, über die in der Literatur bisher nur wenig bekannt war.

Abstract:
1 Abstract The development of ceramic hollow-fibre membranes has gradually grown in the past decade. This specific geometry which has a high surface area per unit volume can dramatically increase the efficiency of separation processes and can be adapted to a variety of industrial applications. In addition, ceramic membranes are well known for their superior chemical and thermal stability which allows them to operate at high temperatures and/or in chemically harsh environments. Nevertheless, the main challenge for their industrial application is their insufficient mechanical strength. Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) is selected as a membrane material in this study. This is because the material has superior mechanical strength and it is relatively cheaper than other ceramic materials. The ionic conducting property of YSZ material is also a benefit when it is used in electrochemical applications. Porous and dense YSZ hollow-fibre membranes have been developed in the study using a combined phase inversion and sintering process. Different membrane morphologies, surface properties, mechanical strength and porosity could be achieved by controlling the YSZ content and sintering temperature. The developed YSZ hollow-fibre membranes with porous or dense structures show great potential for a variety of applications. Porous YSZ hollow-fibre membranes can be used as membrane contactors in aqueous media or for fluid separations in harsh environments, which most polymeric membranes cannot withstand. For the application of membrane contactors in aqueous media, the nature of the YSZ membranes must be modified from hydrophilic to hydrophobic in order to keep them non-wetted during the aqueous contacting processes. A robust and hydrophobic YSZ hollow-fibre membrane was developed by introducing a pretreatment technique, followed by a grafting procedure. The hydrophobic YSZ membrane was found to be thermally stable up to 270 °C and chemically stable in hexane for 100 h. This membrane was then applied to the absorption of carbon dioxide from a high concentration aqueous ethanolamine solution. The results demonstrated the high efficiency of the ceramic hollow-fibre membrane contactor compared to traditional devices. Dense YSZ hollow-fibre membranes with outer diameters of 1.28 mm have been used as an electrolyte support in a solid oxide fuel cell. The YSZ electrolyte-supported SOFC was prepared at relatively lower sintering temperatures and shorter sintering durations. The YSZ-based hollow fibre SOFC demonstrated its ionic stability in a redox environment and mechanical stability at temperatures up to 800 °C. The results also demonstrated its electrochemical performance at high temperature. In summary, this thesis focuses on the development of YSZ hollow-fibre membranes from the initial step of fabricating the membrane to the final step of their potential application. Different structures of YSZ hollow-fibre membranes were studied, discussed and their potential performance was compared to the achievements of others in order to gain more understanding and information on the use of the membranes for practical applications.

Abstract:
The yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) system has been extensively studied because of its critical applications, like solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), oxygen sensors, and jet engines. However, there are still important questions that need to be answered and significant thermodynamic information that needs to be provided for this system. There is no predictive tool for the ionic conductivity of the cubic-YSZ (c-YSZ), as an electrolyte in SOFCs. In addition, no quantitative diagram is available regarding the oxygen ion mobility in c-YSZ, which is highly effective on its ionic conductivity. Moreover, there is no applicable phase stability diagram for the nano-YSZ, which is applied in oxygen sensors. Phase diagrams are critical tools to design new applications of materials. Furthermore, even after extensive studies on the thermodynamic database of the YSZ system, the zirconia-rich side of the system shows considerable uncertainties regarding the phase equilibria, which can make the application designs unreliable. During this dissertation, the CALPHAD (CALculation of PHase Diagrams) approach was applied to provide a predictive diagram for the ionic conductivity of the c-YSZ system. The oxygen ion mobility, activation energy, and pre-exponential factor were also predicted. In addition, the CALPHAD approach was utilized to predict the Gibbs energy of bulk YSZ at different temperatures. The surface energy of each polymorph was then added to the predicted Gibbs energy of bulk YSZ to obtain the total Gibbs energy of nano-YSZ. Therefore, a 3-D phase stability diagram for the nano-YSZ system was provided, by which the stability range of each polymorph versus temperature and particle size are presented. Re-assessment of the thermodynamic database of the YSZ system was done by applying the CALPHAD approach. All of the available thermochemical and phase equilibria data were evaluated carefully and the most reliable ones were selected for the Gibbs energy optimization process. The results calculated by the optimized thermodynamic database showed good agreement with the selected experimental data, particularly on the zirconia-rich side of the system.

Many lexical items have been coined, adapted, borrowed or modified to express concepts that were hitherto unknown or non existent in the Swahili world view cosmology. One area that has witnessed a lot of these changes has been the area of sciences, or better put science has been a prime causer of many neologisms in this language. This eventuality has gone a long way to disprove the naive assumptions that the language has not come of age to express scientific concepts.

Abstract:
Lentsoane uses the title of his narrative to highlight the theme. Special attention is paid to this. The suspense is captured in the clash between the traditional attitude to life held by the Bapedi and the modem philosophy of life held by the younger generation. Lentsoane effectively uses the concept of a journey to convey his message to his reader. The visit of the antagonist Kgoteledi to the homeland is especially important in this regard, as her family there is conservative and thus strongly supports her actions. But it is also here that she becomes aware of change. Other important techniques used by Lentsoane are: contrast, symbolism, shifting of focus, mirrorimages, naming, summary and retardation, foreshadowing, but also the reference to related matters. This latter technique has an important emphasising function. Although conflict is emphasised all the time, the climax is reached with the announcement that Mihloti, Dikgoneng's girlfriend, is pregnant. The mother (and therefore also the rest of the family) hereby accept that change has also become part of their lives. Kgoteledi comes to terms with the situation and passes away. AFRIKAANS : In hierdie verhandeling word Lentsoane se novelle, Megokgo ya Lethabo, as 'n liefdesverhaal besktyf waarin die liefdesverhouding tussen die minnaars nie deur die jongman se familie goedgekeur word nie, omdat die jong meisie lid van 'n ander etniese groep is. Die beskrywings model wat vir die ondersoek gevolg word, is 'n aangepaste narratologiese model. Boonop word slegs twee van die struktuurlae ondersoek, nl. die inhouds- en die samestellingslae. In die beskrywing van die inhoudslaag is die vier epiese elemente, karakter, handeling, tyd en plek, noukeurig nagegaan, en t.o.v. die onderwerp wat die outeur gekies het, beskryf. Die onderwerp bepaal die onderlinge verhouding tussen die verskillende karakters, en verdeel die handeling in drie groot aksiekategorieë, t.w. die liefdesverhouding, die besware van die jongman se familie, en die uiteindelike troue. Die tydsbegrip word omskryf in terme van 'n tydstip, tydsverloop en tydsomstandighede. Vir die beskrywing van die samestellingslaag van die werk is daar twee kernbegrippe wat uitgelig word, nl. die temabegrip en die tegniek begrip wat 'n verhoudingsbegrip is en nie eenduidig in verwysing is nie. Die tema wat hier vooropgestel word, is die van verandering, en slaan op die voortdurende verandering in die lewe van mense en kulture. Die karakter van die protagonis, Dikgoneng, word in terme van noodsaaklike en bykomende kenmerke beskryf. Die noodsaaklike kenmerke hou met die verhaalsoort of genre verband, terwyl die outeur met die bykomende kenmerke sy Ieser tot vereenselwiging met die protagonis oorhaal. Die antagonis word slegs t.o.v. die noodsaaklike kenmerke beskryf. Lentsoane gebruik die verhaaltitel as 'n belangrike outeursmiddel om die tema van sy werk na vore te bring. Besondere aandag word hieraan afgestaan. Die spanningselement lê opgevang in die botsing tussen die tradisionele lewensopvattings van die Bapedi en die modeme lewensbeskouing van die jong geslag. Lentsoane maak effektief van die reisbegrip gebruik om sy boodskap aan sy leer tuis te bring. Hier is dit veral die antagonis, Kgoteledi, se besoek aan die tuisland, wat belangrik is, omdat haar familie daar behoudende mense is, en haar dus in haar saak sterk steun. Maar dis dan ook hier waar sy van verandering bewus raak. Belangrike ander tegnieke wat Lentsoane gebruik, is kontrastering, simboliek, fokusverskuiwing, spieëlbeeldstelling, naamgewing, tydsversnelling en vertraging, vooruitskouring, maar veral die verwysing na verwante geleenthede wat 'n sterk beklemtoningsfunksie het. Hoewel konflik deurentyd aan die orde is, word die hoogtepunt met die aankondiging bereik dat Mihloti (Dikgoneng se nooi) swanger is. Die moeder (en daarom ook die res van die familie) aanvaar hiermee dat verandering ook deel van hulle lewens geword het. Kgoteledi berus haar hierin en sterwe.

In this research an attempt has been made to assess and investigate the impact of the in-laws on Tshivenḓa marriage. This study was found to be necessary because although other scholars have investigated various aspects with regard to the impact of the in-laws on Tshivenḓa marriage, an in depth research on their impact has not been conducted. According to the Tshivenḓa culture, when boys and girls become older they are expected to get married. So this marriage can be influenced negatively or positively by the in-laws. Some couples are forced to live with the in-laws. There are some marriages that do not last due to the negative interference of the in-laws but there are some marriages that are succeeding due to the positive relationship with the in-laws, therefore the aim of this research is to investigate the impact of in-laws on marriages.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the behaviour of tycoon’s wives in the selected literature, namely; Ndzhaka ya vusiwana by B.K.M. Mtombeni and Mangava ya Joni by D.R.Maluleke. In Ndzhaka ya vusiwana two stories were analysed, namely; “Mudlayi wo tidlaya” and “Vubombi bya swolomba”. In Mangava ya Joni two stories were analysed, namely; “Xiwelano” and “Xihahisile”. Textual analysis was used in this study to analyse the behaviour of tycoons’ wives. Textual analysis is the method communication researchers use to describe and interpret the characteristics of a recorded and visual message. The purpose of textual analysis is to describe the content, structure and functions of the messages contained in texts. This study was attempted to answer the following questions:  What is the behaviour of the wives of tycoons in Xihungasi and Mangava ya Joni?”  What influenced the wives of tycoons to have such behaviour?  What are the benefits of such behaviour? The findings of the study revealed that in most cases, the wives of tycoons have good behaviour. They love their rich husbands and children, are very hardworking and they respect other people. The findings of this study also revealed that in most cases the tycoons have various behaviour patterns. Some tycoons have good behaviour while others are violent, hate other people and dishonest. The findings of this study also revealed that the wives of tycoons are influenced by their childhood behaviour, neighbours and friends. Their love to their husbands also influence them to behave properly.

Buktighet kontrolleras för två olika diametrar på 0,25 m respektive 2 m, i den här studien benämnda som lokal och global buktighet.Avsikten med studien var att identifiera det optimala tillvägagånssättet att kontrollera lutning och buktighet av en horisontell yta samt infallsvinkelns påverkan vid reflektorlösa mätningar. Rutnätsskanning med olika punktavstånd utförd med multistation och laserskanning från multistation och laserskanner har använts för att samla in data. Före mätning placerades konstgjorda upphöjda buktningar ut på golvet. Data från mätningarna interpolerades i Surfer-mjukvara, där kartor med höjdkurvor skapades. Interpolationsmetoden som användes var Kriging. Även ett program för objektiv kontroll av buktighet utvecklades i samarbete med en civilingenjör i datateknik.Vid analys konstaterades det att rutnätsskanningarna med punktavstånden över 12,5 cm ej anses lämpliga för kontroll av buktighet. Rutnätsskanningen med punktavstånd på 12,5 cm eller tätare kan inte heller anses optimal för kontroll av buktighet då tidsåtgången blir för omfattande. Laserskanning med multistationen är det tillvägagångsätt som utifrån resultatet i denna studie, baserat på kontrollbarhet av buktighet och lutning, ger tydligast resultat i förhållande till tidsåtgång.Högre infallsvinkel från mätningar längre bort från instrumentet visade ingen systematisk inverkan på mätningarna i denna studie. Den ökade punkttätheten som påvisats nära instrumentet orsakade något som tolkats som brus i punktmolnet och förhöjd tidsåtgång för utförande av mätningar.
Performing controls of different types of objects in the construction phase of buildings are of great importance to avoid unnecessary costs and delays. Concrete floors are one type of object that has defined tolerances regarding levelness and flatness. In Sweden, the tolerance for levelness and flatness can be found in the national guideline AMA-Hus. Flatness is controlled within two different diameters of 0.25 m and 2 m respectively, in this study referred to as local and global flatness.The aim of this study was to identify the optimal method to control levelness and flatness of a horizontal surface and to determine the effect from the angle of incidence using reflectorless measurements. Grid scanning with different point density performed with a multi station and laser scans from multi station and laser scanner were used to collect the data. Before measurements artificial elevated curvatures where placed on the concrete floor. Data from the measurements where interpolated in Surfer software, and height maps were created. The interpolation method used was Kriging. Software containing an algorithm for objective flatness detection was developed in cooperation with a civil engineer in computer science.Analysis of the grid scanning data revealed that point density over 12.5 cm is not sufficient to detect significant elevation differences when controlling flatness. Grid scanning at 12.5 cm or thicker also cannot be deemed optimal since the time required to perform the measurements are disproportionately long. Laser scanning using the multi station proved, in the conditions of this study, to be the optimal method for levelness and flatness control in respect to time consumption.Steeper angle of incidence from measurements further from the instrument showed no systematical deviations of the measurements in this study. However, the increased point density found close to the instrument caused something that could be considered as noise in the point cloud as well as increased time consumption.
