The author presents examples of pathogenic influence of culture. He identifies specific pathogenic factors associated with rapid socio-cultural change affecting North American Indians and African populations and sketches the resulting typical psychopathological conditions: anomic depression in Amerindians, transient psychotic reactions (bouffée délirante) in Africans. Witchcraft and sorcery beliefs often characterize the clinical picture of psychotic reactions in “marginal” Africans and in transplanted South Europeans of tradition-directed background. Examples are provided which illustrate the emergence, metamorphosis and epidemic spreading of so-called “culture-bound syndromes” under changing socio-economic, cultural and political conditions. Ritualized possession and trance states, as well as religious rituals in general, are to be separated from psychopathological phenomena in order to avoid eurocentric and positivistic fallacies in psychiatric diagnosis.

Texto completoResumen
South Africa has a mixed legal system comprised of transplanted European laws (the core being Roman-Dutch law, subsequently influenced by English common law) and indigenous laws, referred to as customary law. This mix is also evident in South Africa’s marriage laws, which can roughly be divided into two categories: civil marriages or unions, and African customary marriages. Since 1994, the developments in these two categories of marriage have been revolutionary. The case law reads like a jurisprudential chronicle of factual situations never contemplated by the legislator, and the judiciary must resort to innovation to solve the intricacies of a constitutionalized mixed legal system. To deal with the challenges posed by the interaction of two seemingly equal legal systems in one legal sphere, the courts have followed a variety of approaches including legal positivism, the application of common law principles, and, more recently, the notion of transformative constitutionalism. The primary aim of this essay is to discuss the sometimes innovative and at other times confusing approaches followed by the judiciary in dealing with the complexities created by a mixed legal system, especially with regard to marriages between Africans.

This essay analyses the role played by okra in The Underground Railroad, together with how it functions in relation to the soil that sustains it and which allows it to grow. I argue that okra represents an otherwise lost African past for both protagonist Cora and for the show in general and that this transplanted plant, similar to the transplanted Africans who endured the Middle Passage on the way to ‘New World’ slave plantations, survives by going through ‘black holes’, something that is not only linked poetically to the established trope of the otherwise absent Black mother but which also finds support from physics, where wormholes (similar to the holes created by worms in the soil) take us through black holes and into new worlds, realities or dimensions. This is reflected in Jenkins’s series (as well as Whitehead’s novel) by the titular Underground Railroad itself, which sees Cora and others disappear underground only to reappear in new states (the show travels from Georgia to South Carolina to North Carolina to Tennessee to Indiana and so on), as well as specifically in the show through the formal properties of the audio-visual (cinematic/televisual) medium, which, with its cuts and movements, similarly keeps shifting through space and time in a nonlinear but generative fashion. Finally, I suggest that we cannot philosophise the plant or the medium of film (or television or streaming media) without philosophising race, with The Underground Railroad serving as a means for bringing together plants and plantations, soil and wormholes and Blackness and black holes, which, collectively and playfully, I group under the umbrella term ‘black (w)hole foods’.

Abstract Introduction: Optimal CB unit selection guidelines recommend consideration of CD34+ cell dose & 8-allele donor-recipient HLA-match. How graft characteristics for these parameters vary by patient (pt) race/ ethnicity, however, is not known. Methods: We analyzed the infused graft & back-up unit cryopreserved total nucleated cell (TNC) x 107 & CD34+ x 105 cell content, the cell dose (incorporating pt weight), & 4-6/6 & 8-allele HLA-match by pt ancestry in CB transplant (CBT) recipients transplanted 1/2014-6/2018. Units were chosen based on banking practices (e.g. RBC depleted, standard cryo volumes), TNC & CD34+ dose & 4-6/6 & 8-allele HLA-match with dose usually taking priority over match given pt size at our center. The analysis included transplanted units (considered the best choice) & the next best high resolution typed back-up units (reserved but not shipped). Pt racial/ ethnic origins were prospectively obtained by detailed family history & grouped as previously described (Barker J. et al. BBMT 2010). Results: The characteristics of 513 units chosen for 136 CBT recipients by pt ancestry are shown (Table 1). Pts had highly diverse origins including 70 (51%) non-Europeans. The 513 units included 270 units infused as the graft (134 doubles & 2 singles) & 243 back-up units (109 pts had 2 back-ups, 25 pts had one & 2 had none). Thus, 4 best units were analyzed in 109 pts (all double unit recipients), 3 best in 25 pts (all doubles), & 1 unit in 2 pts (both singles). The median weight of the 136 pts was 81 kg. Asian pts (median 68 kg) had a lower weight than other groups. The median TNC content of units for the 66 European pts was higher than that for the 70 Non-Europeans (218 vs 196, p = 0.004). Units chosen for Northwestern (NW) Europeans had the highest median TNC content (235) with lower TNC content in units for Southern Europeans (202), Asian (193), African (191) & White Hispanic (189) pts. Units chosen for European pts also had a higher median CD34+ cell content (162) than Non-Europeans (138), p = 0.004. NW Europeans had units with a higher median CD34+ content (198) & the lowest CD34+ content were those for African (124) & Middle Eastern pts (124). When patient weight was considered, median TNC/kg dose per unit was similar in European and Non-European pts (2.7 vs 2.6, p = NS). Units for NW Europeans had the highest median TNC dose (3.0) whereas those for African pts had the lowest TNC dose (2.4). Units for Europeans had a higher median CD34+ dose (2.0) than Non-Europeans (1.7) although this difference was not significant (p = 0.15). Additionally, similar to TNC dose, median CD34+ dose was highest in units for NW European pts (2.2) & lowest in units chosen for African pts (1.5). 89% of chosen units were 4/6 HLA-matched with no differences between Europeans & non-Europeans. Furthermore, the median 8 allele HLA-match was 5/8 (range 2-8/8) with no overall differences between units for Europeans and Non-Europeans (p = NS). When only transplanted units were analyzed (Table 2), the median TNC & CD34+ contents were significantly lower in non-Europeans than Europeans (238 vs 216, p = 0.01 & 184 vs 160, p = 0.016). Overall, however, units received by Europeans vs non-European pts had similar TNC & CD34+ doses (p = NS). However, differences in the CD34+ content combined with differences in pt weights resulted in disparities in CD34+ doses by ancestry sub-group. NW Europeans (high weight, high CD34+ content) received the best CD34+ doses; lower CD34+ content in Asian pts was compensated for by their lower weight. African pts (high weight, low CD34+ content) received the lowest CD34+ doses. The median 8 allele HLA-match for all was 5/8 (range 3-8/8) with the exception of African pts [median 4/8 (range 3-7/8)]. Moreover, while 108 (40%) of transplanted units were 3-4/8 HLA-matched overall, there were marked differences between pt sub-groups with only 23% of units for NW Europeans being 3-4/8 vs 42% for southern Europeans, 46% for white Hispanics & 53% for Africans. Conclusions: While CB significantly extends transplant access to racial & ethnic minorities, differences in cellular content translates to many minority pts receiving lower dosed units. There are also marked racial/ ethnic differences in HLA-match grade with African pts the most likely to receive highly mismatched units. This data supports ongoing funding of public CB banks to further increase the inventory of high dosed & better matched units for all but especially racial & ethnic minority pts.

Foram muitas as línguas que o tráfico transatlântico transplantou para o Brasil, no entanto o estudo dessas línguas não atraiu muito a atenção dos estudiosos, que se dedicaram a outros aspectos da diversidade cultural africana, como religiões, danças, música, culinária etc. Este texto aborda as motivações que levaram pesquisadores, e linguistas em particular, a estudar (ou não) as línguas africanas entre nós, chamando a atenção para as duas vertentes desse estudo: as línguas que entraram em contato com o português no Brasil e as línguas que são faladas no continente africano. Examina-se, primeiramente, o contexto sociocultural que fomentou o interesse pelas questões linguísticas e que influenciou as análises feitas ao longo da história brasileira. Destaca-se a seguir a importância científica da investigação das línguas da África, tanto para para a linguística quanto para o conhecimento da humanidade.

Abstract:South Africa's economic and political liberalization have engendered new patterns of immigration and urbanization that find South Africans and foreign migrants converging on the streets of inner-city Johannesburg. As they interact, citizens and non-nationals have developed competing idioms for relating to one another and the space they share. For South Africans, this often means appealing to a nativist idiom that locates commonality amidst an allochthonous citizenry while attempting to prohibit foreign transplantation. Non-nationals counter this with an idiom of permanent transit, a way of positioning themselves as outsiders lodged in a superior and unrooted state. These idioms represent competing visions for the inner city's future. For South Africans, the idiom is a generative node of modern nationalist formation. For those permanently passing through the city, it is an idiom of a denationalized “nowhereville.”

Very little is known about the prevalence of new-onset diabetes after transplant (NODAT) in sub-Saharan and Eastern Africans. Most of the data are related to African Americans and to North and South Africans. The aims of this study were to examine the prevalence of NODAT in Sudanese renal transplant recipients, compare it with the published literature, and identify the risk factors for developing NODAT. In total, 150 patients who received a living-related kidney transplant between January 2015 and January 2016 were included in this study. Patients with diabetic nephropathy and pretransplant diabetes were excluded. Follow-up was for 2 years after the transplant. The variables studied were age, sex, body mass index, a family history of diabetes mellitus (DM), pretransplant steroid therapy, dyslipidemia, and hepatitis C virus infection. Twenty- three patients (15.3%) developed NODAT during the study period. The mean age of the patients who developed NODAT was 39 ± 14 years, and the mean time to develop NODAT was 5.78 ± 5.9 months. In the multivariate analysis, the risk factors for developing NODAT were a family history of DM (P = 0.01) and pretransplant steroid therapy (P = 0.01). The prevalence of NODAT in this study was 15.3%, which is in line with the reported literature from North Africa. However, it was significantly lower than the reported prevalence in African Americans.

Abstract Introduction: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most frequent treatment resistant and poor prognosis primary brain tumor. Age-adjusted incidence among Caucasians is approx. twice that of Africans. Genetic changes in ethnicity may represent druggable targets for development of new treatments for GBM. Chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan 4 (CSPG4) with sequence homology to neuron-glial-2 (NG2), henceforth CSPG4/NG2, is a transmembrane proteoglycan that is upregulated in GBM, resulting in leaky neovasculature and high cell proliferation, and is independently prognostic for poor survival. Mechanisms regulating CSPG4/NG2 expression remain to be elucidated. Experiments: Tumor-derived DNA whole exome sequences (WES) from mixed American GBM patients (n=300) collected into the TCGA database and blood-derived DNA WES from controls (n = 2504) in the 1000 Genome database were analyzed for mutations in the CSPG4 gene by GATK-3.5. We used prime editing (PE) to introduce a 13-base pair (bp) deletion through design of PE guide RNA (n=27), screening GBM cells (n=14) for CSPG4/NG2 expression, transfecting and expanding PE cells, confirming editing using Sanger sequencing. We functionally characterized the mutation in PE cells and transplanted in orthotopic PDX mouse models compared to wild type (WT) and Cas9 control cells. Western blotting, BrdU proliferation assays, clonogenic- and wound healing assays were used to investigate function. Gelatin zymography assessed CSPG4/NG2 matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) cross-talk during invasion on mixed extracellular matrix- or collagen IV- coated transwells. Results: A novel 13bp frameshift deletion in exon 3 of the CSPG4 gene was identified from WES of GBM samples deposited in TCGA. The mutation was cancer specific (p<0.001). Comparison of frequency in various ethnicities revealed the mutation to be more frequent among African American GBM patients (p=0.019). We generated 3 clones heterozygous for the CSPG4/NG2 deletion in patient derived GBMs. A homozygous deletion was lethal to the cells. The 13bp deletion reduced CSPG4/NG2 expression by approx. 60%, slowed tumor cell proliferation compared to both WT (p<0.001) and Cas9 cells (p<0.0001). PE cells had significantly reduced colony formation (p<0.001), scratch wound healing (p<0.001), had a weaker invasive phenotype when challenged with collagen IV (p<0.001), and reduced cleavage of collagen I by MMP2 that was corroborated by RNAseq gene expression. Reduced growth of PE cells in vivo was verified by multiplex immunohistochemistry on ex vivo brain sections and identified biomarkers for differential tumor development. Tumor growth was reduced in vivo in mice. Conclusions: We identified a novel 13bp deletion in CSPG4/NG2 with phenotypic effect that could be used as a future molecular target in GBM treatment, and present the first successful application of PE in human GBM cells.

Abstract Background: Understanding disparities in allograft access is a prerequisite to interpret outcomes. Moreover, while alternative donors extend access, the extent to which there are racial disparities in availability of optimal donors is not established. Methods: We evaluated access to alternative donor allografts (all other than HLA-identical sibling donors) in adults 19-65 years according to recipient ancestry over time between 1/2016-4/2021. During this period an 8/8 HLA allele-matched unrelated donor (URD) had priority followed by double unit cord blood (dCB) (usually preferred if < 60 years) or haploidentical donors with mismatched URDs being considered most recently. We examined access to any acceptable donor, as well as an optimal donor, by recipient ancestry. To determine trends over time, we compared early (1/2016-1/2018, 25 months), middle (2/2018-2/2020, 25 months), & pandemic (3/2020-4/2021, 14 months) time periods. Results: 592 adults (median 53.5 years, range 19-65) received alternative donor allografts. 374 (63%) had European & 218 (37%) non-European origins (66 African, 56 Asian, 55 White Hispanic, 41 other). Overall, 340 (56%) patients received 8/8 URD, 139 (23%) dCB, 69 (11%) haploidentical, & 44 (7%) 5-7/8 URD grafts with 14 (2%) patients having no graft. Europeans (263/374, 70%) mostly received 8/8 URD donors, whereas only one-third of non-Europeans (77/218, 35%) did (p < 0.01). Moreover, non-European patients were more likely than Europeans to receive HLA-disparate donors of all types: 36% of non-Europeans received dCB vs 16% of Europeans, 18% vs 8% for haploidentical donors, 10% vs 6% for 5-7/8 URD grafts. African ancestry patients (n = 66) were the least likely to receive 8/8 URDs (13/66, 20%) with 27/66 (41%) of them receiving dCB, 16/66 (24%) haploidentical, & 10/66 (15%) 5-7/8 URD grafts. When analyzing by period, the relative proportion of patients receiving allografts from 8/8 URDs, dCB, & haploidentical donors remained unchanged over time (Figure 1). However, while 14 patients (13 non-Europeans including 11 of African ancestry) had no graft, the utilization of 5-7/8 URDs (4% of alternative donor allografts 1/2016-1/2018, 8% 2/2018-2/2020, 14% 3/2020-4/2021) has decreased the "no graft" incidence to 1% of patients most recently (Figure 1). We then analyzed access to an "optimal donor" defined as an 8/8 URD < 35 years (Shaw et al., BBMT 2018), a dCB graft with each unit with a CD34+ dose > 1.5 x10^5/kg & > 4/8 HLA-match (Politikos et al., BBMT 2020), or a haploidentical donor < 40 years without recipient high titer donor-specific antibodies (McCurdy et al., Seminars in Hematology 2016 & others). Mismatched URDs were excluded based on lack of literature guiding an "optimal" definition. Of 8/8 URDs/ dCB/ haploidentical transplant recipients, 424/548 (77%) received an optimal donor with 269/340 (79%) URD, 94/139 (68%) dCB, & 61/69 (88%) haploidentical grafts being optimal. Transplanted non-Europeans were less likely to receive an optimal 8/8 URD / dCB / haploidentical donor than transplanted Europeans (67% vs 84%, p < 0.01) with White Hispanic & African patients having the lowest chances at 56% & 61%, respectively. Analysis of the 3 periods showed the likelihood that non-European patients received an optimal 8/8 URD / dCB / haploidentical donor is not improving: optimal allografts in 63% of non-Europeans vs 78% of Europeans 1/2016-1/2018, 68% vs 88% 2/2018-2/2020 & 68% vs 92% 3/2020-4/2021. Notably, the greatest disparity was seen at the pandemic's onset (3/2020-9/2020, Figure 2). Conclusion: Our data suggests access to 8/8 URDs for non-Europeans is not improving but utilization of all potential alternatives (dCB, haploidentical, 5-7/8 URD) is increasingly providing "donors for all". However, when incorporating the concept of an "optimal" 8/8 URD/ dCB/ haploidentical donor, there is a significant disparity in access to optimal donors for non-Europeans, with Africans & White Hispanics the least likely to receive an optimal graft. This disparity is also not improving, and worsened at the pandemic's onset. Optimization of dCB, haploidentical, & mismatched URD transplants, & recognition of optimal donor definitions for each, is critical to further improve allograft outcomes. Future studies must also investigate the extent to which futile 8/8 URD pursuits adversely impact non-European patient transplant outcomes. Figure 1 Figure 1.

The present study was conducted during 2021-22 and 2022-23 to study crop phenology, heat unit requirement and heat use efficiency (HUE) in African marigold under year-round transplanting at Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana, Punjab, India. The highest heat use efficiency for seed and flower production were recorded in crop transplanted in rainy season particularly in the month of August. Higher growing degree days (GDD) and photothermal units (PTU) for attaining bud visibility and 50 % flowering stages were recorded under spring and summer transplanting (February to June) due to longer day length conditions which forced the crop to witness shorter seed filling period with lesser seed yield and HUE. Optimum seed yield period in marigold (rainy season transplanting), however, recorded lesser GDD and PTU for attainment of bud visibility and 50 % flowering as compared to summer transplanting dates and consequently had longer seed filling period resulting in higher seed yield. Notably, GDD and PTU for seed filling period recorded higher values in rainy season transplanted crop as compared to crop transplanted in other seasons of year. Correlation studies were conducted to understand the role of weather variables for high seed yield obtained under rainy season transplanting. Seed yield in African marigold recorded the highest value of correlation with HUE for seed production (r2= 0.978) followed by GDD for seed filling period (r2= 0.810), HUE for flower production (r2= 0.787) and PTU for seed filling period (r2= 0.774), respectively. Apparently, mean temperature and sunshine hours during seed filling period are the most important determinants of seed yield in African marigold.

The non-compliance to a strict medicine regimen is a significant problem in transplant patients across the world, and we suspect also in South Africa. Despite the magnitude of the problem and the potentially life-threatening consequences of non-compliance, no research has focused on the South African liver transplant population. The following influencing factors on non-compliance were selected to be explored further in the South African context: beliefs about medicine; perceptions about one's condition; the effect of transplantation; and family dynamics and finances. The aims of the present study are to explore the possible relationships between patients' beliefs about their illness; beliefs about their medicine; feelings of guilt regarding the donor; feelings of responsibility to the transplant team and donor's family; low attendance records for clinics; family functioning and compliance.

Introduction: Renal transplantation is the treatment of choice for patients with end stage renal disease [ESRD]. An increased risk of ESRD has been demonstrated when comparing donors to age matched healthy non-donors. There are no outcome data in Africa on long term donor renal function or mortality. Therefore, this study aimed to assess long term health complications in the living donor population and evaluate risk factors associated with poor health outcomes of the donors. Methods: This was a retrospective review with prospective follow up of persons undergoing living related donor nephrectomy for renal transplantation, at Groote Schuur Hospital (GSH) from January 2005 to November 2017. We retrospectively analysed baseline demographics, clinical information including blood pressure and renal function (creatinine, eGFR and proteinuria) and compared them with follow up blood pressure and renal function. Results: The majority of the donors were of mixed ancestry 94/154(61%) and 1st degree relatives 111/154 (72%) of which 63/111 (56.8%) donors were siblings. Hypertension developed in 16/31 (51.6%) donors at follow-up. Those developing hypertension had a higher mean baseline blood pressure (systolic blood pressure 139±11.3 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure 85.5±7.3 mmHg). 21/49(42.9%) developed chronic kidney disease [CKD], of which, 16 donors had an eGFR < 60 ml/min/1.73m2 . In those that developed CKD there was a higher percentage of males (p=0.018) and they were older (p=0.048) at baseline. Baseline systolic and diastolic blood pressures was not statistically different in those that developed CKD. 3/31(9.6%) donors developed diabetes. Conclusions: In South Africa, CKD is on the rise and the need for kidney donors for patients with ESRD is therefore also increasing. This study demonstrates that our living donors are at increased risk of CKD and hypertension and therefore need to be followed up more rigorously.

Thesis (MA (Industrial Psychology))--University of Stellenbosch, 2007.The primary objective of the study was to describe Professor Christiaan Barnard’s career development according to the theoretical model formulated by Greenhaus, Callanan and Godshalk (2000). The research design implemented in the study is a exploratory-descriptive psychobiographical case-study that followed an idiographic-morphogenic research strategy and used qualitative data to present a coherent narrative of Barnard’s career development. During the study biographical and autobiographical data pertaining to Barnard’s career development were collected and analysed. Barnard was selected as psychobiographical subject through a purposive sampling strategy. Barnard was regarded as an appropriate subject for the study because of his extraordinary and pioneering contributions in the context of organ transplants. The study used qualitative data and included both primary (autobiographical material) and secondary data (biographical material). The data collection and data analyses were based on an approach suggested by Yin (2003). This approach uses a theoretical model to determine the relevance of data as well as the nature of data that would facilitate the achievement of the research objective. It is implemented by posing specific questions to the data. The data analysis procedure was based on the approach suggested by Huberman and Miles (1994). Their approach comprises three phases, namely data-reduction, data-display, and conclusion drawing or verification. The researcher ensured ethical standards throughout the study by obtaining Barnard’s consent to conduct the study. The researcher treated personal information with respect, empathy, thoughtfulness and prudence. Only data available in the public domain (published biographical and autobiographical material) were considered during the data analysis phase. Lastly, the researcher attempted to interpret data in a responsible and transparent manner. The analysis of Barnard’s career development according to the theoretical model of Greenhaus et al. (2000) demonstrated the value of the model to accurately describe and interpret the career development of extraordinary individuals.

Texto completoResumen
M.Sc.Richards Bay Harbour is notably one of the fastest growing, economically important harbours in South Africa. However, this economic growth has lead to increased anthropogenic activities surrounding the harbour, which may result in higher contaminant, including metal, concentrations within the harbour. These contaminants may negatively influence the natural ecosystem functioning within the harbour. Consequently, assessment of the extent and effect of contamination, through continuous biomonitoring of Richards Bay Harbour, is essential. In the present study, the main aim was to assess the marine health in Richards Bay Harbour by studying spatial and temporal variation of bioaccumulation and biological responses within the mussel, Perna perna, using an active biomonitoring (ABM) approach. The ABM approach was preferred over the traditional passive biomonitoring of resident mussels since it eliminates several inherent factors that may mask the mussels’ true responses to the ambient environment. This approach entailed the transplantation of reference mussels from a relatively uncontaminated environment into Richards Bay Harbour, which is known to be contaminated by metals. In order to identify the reference mussel population for transplantation purposes, a study was undertaken to assess metal levels in two other P. perna populations within the same ecoregion as Richards Bay Harbour, namely Dawson’s Rocks and Sheffield Beach. The results showed that most metal concentrations were lower at Sheffield Beach, which consequently lead to the selection of this population as a reference. The effect of size differences on metal bioaccumulation was also assessed using the three latter mentioned mussel populations, which showed that, although local conditions strongly influence the relationship between metal bioaccumulation and size, utilisation of a narrow size range would minimise the size effect on bioaccumulation and should be used for ABM studies.

Submitted in partial compliance with the requirements for the Master’s Degree in Technology: Chiropractic, Durban University of Technology, Durban, South Africa, 2015.Background: The 19th Iteration of the World Transplant Games was hosted in Durban, South Africa in 2013. This biennial, international, multisport event showcases the talents of transplant athletes, whilst demonstrating the benefits of organ transplantation. To date, limited research is available on transplant athletes. This study aimed to determine the injury profile of transplant athletes who presented to the Durban University of Technology Chiropractic Treatment Facilities during the 2013 World Transplant Games. Methods: This retrospective, descriptive cohort study analysed the data collected at the Chiropractic Treatment Facilities at the 2013 World Transplant Games. For inclusion, each WTG Form required completion, reflecting all the elements of that participant’s chiropractic consultation. The data recorded on the World Transplant Games Form generated the data analysed in this study. The data described the frequency (frequency tables), nature and management of injuries treated at the Chiropractic Treatment Facilities during the 2013 World Transplant Games. In order to determine relationships cross tabulations were used. Results: There were 964 athletes registered for the 2013 World Transplant Games, of which 153 presented to the Chiropractic Treatment Facilities (an utilisation rate of 15.9%). A total of 259 consultations by the athletes (n = 223; 86.1%) and non-athletes (n = 36; 13.9%) were recorded. The majority of the treated athletes were White (n = 91; 59.5%), males (n = 109; 71.2%), in which kidney transplant recipients accounted for 37.3% (n = 58) of the total number. Track athletics had the highest injury rate (34.5% of all reported injuries). Athletes sustained injuries to 14 different anatomical regions, with the thigh (26.9%) and shin/calf (20.5%) being the most frequently injured. The majority of injuries (n = 164; 66.4%) were “overuse” injuries, with myofasciitis, muscle strains and thoracic facet syndrome being the most frequently obtained diagnoses (25.5%, 16.6% and 6.5% respectively). The most frequently employed treatment modalities were those of massage (32.1%), ischemic compression (16.3%) and manipulation (13.4%). It was noted that the most injuries sustained (88.3%) were not severe enough to result in an inability to continue current or future participation. Conclusions and Recommendations: Transplant recipient athletes injuries concur with the literature on non-transplant athletes, indicating that solid organ transplantation does not predispose the athlete to different or more serious injuries which would require different management protocols by health care personnel treating these athletes. Further investigation into individual sports is encouraged, to develop accurate, effective injury management and preventative strategies to more appropriately diagnose and treat injuries incurred by transplant athletes and then to prevent them from recurring. An informed healthcare approach towards event organising and athlete treatment will improve preventative strategies and athlete management.

The purpose of this study was to explore and describe the knowledge of clients regarding renal donation at a specific urban health care facility in the Limpopo province. A quantitative, explorative, descriptive and cross-sectional design was used. Data was collected using a structured pre-tested questionnaire. Out of 317 questionnaires, 300 were valid and considered for the study. Analysis was done using Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) computer software version 25. Data was presented using tables, graphs and charts. The study revealed that 32% (n=95) were males and 68% (n=205) were females. The results showed that there are a significant correlations between the attitudes, knowledge and actions of clients with regards to renal donation. The study revealed inadequate knowledge on the majority 74,7% (n=224) of the respondents on renal donation. A recommendation was that awareness campaigns on renal donation to be planned on world kidney days. Furthermore, the recommendations of the study will be presented to the Limpopo Department of health to take effective measures to educate people with relevant information on renal donation. A policy regarding awareness programme of renal donation should be developed.Health Studies

Texto completoResumen
Several stakeholders in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry have emphasized the need for petroleum sector reforms in Nigeria. Canada is reputed to have one of the best oil and gas tax regimes in the world. This thesis argues that certain tax measures in Canada’s oil and gas industry have considerable potential for addressing certain industry inefficiencies in Nigeria’s petroleum sector. In developing this argument, this thesis gives an overview of oil and gas taxation in both jurisdictions and examines the possibility of transferring laws between Nigeria and Canada by exploring legal and tax comparative law theories. The thesis also examines the major challenges in Nigeria’s oil and gas industry and identifies viable areas in Canada’s oil and gas tax system which have the potential to address these challenges. Given the peculiarities of oil and gas taxation in each jurisdiction, this thesis suggests that the selected Canadian fiscal and administrative measures may require certain modifications in order to make these measures more suitable for Nigeria’s legal and tax system.

1 electroninc resource (ix, 86 leaves)This study aimed at exploring and describing the perceptions of relatives of patients with chronic renal failure regarding kidney donation. The number of patients suffering from chronic renal failure awaiting kidney transplantation is on the increase, while the treatment they get in the interim is not cost effective. The researcher used qualitative descriptive and exploratory research using the Potter and Perry’s Health Belief Model. She applied purposive sampling and used semi structured interviews to collect data from 45 participants who were all relatives of patients coming for haemodialysis at a selected hospital in KwaZulu-Natal. Data analysis identified participants’ perceptions regarding chronic renal failure and kidney donation. Findings of the study revealed that most relatives were fully aware of kidney donation, but fear and lack of knowledge regarding kidney transplantation were the main barriers to them offering themselves for kidney donation. The researcher recommends that the Renal Transplant Multidisciplinary Committee should ensure the public is informed about kidney donation and more intensive education should be given to the relatives of patients suffering from chronic renal failure at an early stage in the illness to give them more time to come to terms with the concept of kidney donation.

Texto completoResumen
Hawaiʻi Is My Haven maps the context and contours of Black life in the Hawaiian Islands. This ethnography emerges from a decade of fieldwork with both Hawaiʻi-raised Black locals and Black transplants who moved to the Islands from North America, Africa, and the Caribbean. Nitasha Tamar Sharma highlights the paradox of Hawaiʻi as a multiracial paradise and site of unacknowledged antiBlack racism. While Black culture is ubiquitous here, African-descended people seem invisible. In this formerly sovereign nation structured neither by the US Black/White binary nor the one-drop rule, nonWhite multiracials, including Black Hawaiians and Black Koreans, illustrate the coarticulation and limits of race and the native/settler divide. Despite erasure and racism, nonmilitary Black residents consider Hawaiʻi their haven, describing it as a place to “breathe” that offers the possibility of becoming local. Sharma's analysis of race, indigeneity, and Asian settler colonialism shifts North American debates in Black and Native studies to the Black Pacific. Hawaiʻi Is My Haven illustrates what the Pacific offers members of the African diaspora and how they in turn illuminate race and racism in “paradise.”

The investigation of the Dutch East India Company’s (VOC) meat industry that was emplaced at the Cape of Good Hope, South Africa reveals information about livestock production, slaughter, and consumption at the colonial entrepot in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. The investigation consisted of five faunal samples including three sites from the Castle of Good Hope; the Moat, the Granary (F2), and Donkergat (DKG); Elsenburg; and the Dump (DP) from Oudespost I. The archaeological faunal remains speak to transplanted and hybridized European husbandry practices as the VOC struggled to overcome initial hardships of meeting high meat demands to become the dominant power across the landscape while dispossessing the indigenous Khoekhoe peoples of their livestock, land, and identity.

Abstract Conservation Agriculture (CA), which delivers multiple benefits for crop cultivation, is becoming increasingly popular worldwide. However, CA is not a single, ready-made or simple technology that can be adopted everywhere without necessary farm-level refinement. The CA practitioners may need to incorporate changes in practices and each needs a few years of experience to fully learn how to optimize the technology on a particular crop on each farm. Implementation of CA is challenging in resource-limited, intensively cropped and rice-based smallholder farms. This chapter is a reflection on lessons learned during the last two decades of research, farmers' adoption and service providers' (LSP) feedback on CA practice in rainfed and irrigated systems where farmers grow three crops per year including at least one transplanted rice crop. The researchers review smallholder farmers and LSP affordable and preferred CA planters, and the performance of CA in crop establishment and management, weed management, role and involvement of farmers' groups, farm level benefits, rice and upland crops. Case studies are also presented on the benefits of CA practice including resources optimization, long-term trends of crop yield and profit margin, soil organic carbon sequestration and greenhouse gas (GHG) implications. These lessons may be useful for new practitioners, extensionists, researchers, teachers, students and policy planners to implement CA in smallholder regions considering food security, soil health and livelihoods and their contribution to mitigation of global warming.

AbstractLaboratory medicine, along with the airline industry, has a long history of utilising quality management systems. It took until 1999 for the Joint Accreditation Committee of the International Society for Cellular Therapy (ISCT) and the European Group for Blood and Marrow Transplantation (EBMT), known as JACIE, to be established as an accreditation system in the field of haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The aim was to create a standardised system of accreditation to be officially recognised across Europe, and it was based on the accreditation standards established by the US-based Foundation for the Accreditation of Cellular Therapy (FACT).Since the concept of JACIE was originally launched, many European centres have applied for initial accreditation with other centres gaining reaccreditation for the second, third or fourth time. Transplant units, outside of Europe, have accepted the importance of the JACIE Standards, with units in South Africa, Singapore and Saudi Arabia also gaining accreditation.There is evidence that both donor and patient care have improved within the accredited centres (Passweg et al., Bone Marrow Transplant 47:906–923; 2012: Demiriz IS, Tekgunduz E, Altuntas F (2012) What is the most appropriate source for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation?).Peripheral Stem Cell/Bone Marrow/Cord Blood Bone Marrow Res. (2012):Article ID 834040 (online)). However, there is a lack of published evidence demonstrating that this improvement directly results from better nursing care. Therefore, the authors conducted a survey of nursing members of the European Blood and Marrow Transplantation Nurses Group (EBMT (NG)) to identify how nurses working in the area of HSCT felt that JACIE impacted in the care they delivered and the general implications of JACIE for nurses.

This essay follows the iguana, an indigenous genus of herbivorous lizards, to the Caribbean dinner table, from the fifteenth century to the present. Inspired by historian Jerry Bentley’s scholarly contributions to questions of cultural encounters, the essay argues for the importance of indigenous foods in complex, often ambiguous, and consistently nuanced processes of cultural interactions between indigenous peoples and transplanted Europeans, Asians, and Africans. The story of how and why the iguana consistently appeared in the region’s foodways provides a critical perspective on the history of globalization in the Atlantic world. Mapping the variety of these culinary experiences can also reveal insights into the Caribbean’s changing ecology and the role of indigenous beliefs and African interpretations in the eco-cultural encounters that reshaped the flavors and choices of the region.

Despite acknowledging the existence of indigenous management capabilities and skills in Africa, management practice in precolonial African societies was seen by the colonizers as primitive management. Africans have ways of exercising power and authority at the workplace, ways of motivating and rewarding people to make them work harder. Neither the institutions nor the political structures put in place by the colonizers acknowledge these indigenous knowledge structures, but much of them have survived in the traditions and cultural values of the African people. However, unlike in Europe and most parts of Asia, the attempted modernization or Westernization after independence has completely neglected the indigenous sociocultural knowledge and tried to transplant western management theories and models to traditional African societies. This article draws attention to the relevance of cultures to management philosophy with the purpose of contributing to a culturally appropriate practice of management in Africa. It has been shown that the different management theories in the form that they have been developed in the West reflect western philosophical thoughts which may not fit culturally in Africa management practice. However, in developing theories and building models of management theories in Africa, it is unlikely to pay Africans to throw away all that the West has to offer. Rather, the approach to appropriate management theorizing is to reflect on assumptions of Western management theories, compare Western assumptions about sociocultural values with African cultural values to rebuild the theories and models. The use of anthropological and philosophical concepts in this context will help in the development of appropriate management practice.

Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), occupying about 80% of the African continent is a heterogeneous region with estimated population of 1.1 billion people in 47 countries. Most belong to the low resource countries (LRCs). The high prevalence of end-organ diseases of kidney, liver, lung and heart makes provision of organ donation and transplantation necessary. Although kidney and heart transplantations were performed in South Africa in the 1960s, transplant activity in SSA lags behind the developed world. Peculiar challenges militating against successful development of transplant programmes include high cost of treatment, low GDP of most countries, inadequate infrastructural and institutional support, absence of subsidy, poor knowledge of the disease condition, poor accessibility to health-care facilities, religious and trado-cultural practices. Many people in the region patronize alternative healthcare as first choice. Opportunities that if harnessed may alter the unfavorable landscape are: implementation of the 2007 WHO Regional Consultation recommendations for establishment of national legal framework and self-sufficient organ donation/transplantation in each country and adoption of their 2020 proposed actions for organ/transplantation for member states, national registries with sharing of data with GODT, prevention of transplant commercialization and tourism. Additionally, adapting some aspects of proven successful models in LRCs will improve transplantation programmes in SSA.

Abstract Recent studies of the origins of the black preaching style have linked it to West African forms of public declamation and recitation. One scholar of Black Vernacular English writes that in light of Negro Caribbean and Guyanese preaching styles, “one could hypothesize that the preaching style was used by Blacks [in the United States] and later spread to white culture” (Vaughn-Cooke 1972: 30). In comparing Caribbean and black North American styles of preaching, another social scientist suggests that the manner in which black preachers deliver their sermons is essentially African: “Afro-American preaching is more similar to the transplanted African religious rites found throughout the Caribbean and in Brazil” (Gumperz 1982: 189).

This chapter highlights the current state of HIV/AIDS care that fits Lewis Thomas’s 1971 definition of a “halfway technology.” It explains halfway technology as an intermediate stage between “nontechnology” and as a supportive medical care that does little to affect the course of disease, while “high” or “transformative technology” depends on advances in basic sciences. It also clarifies that transformative technology included immunization, chemotherapy, and antibiotics, while halfway technologies included dialysis, organ transplants, and mechanical ventilation. The chapter focuses on AIDS, which is as much a concern in the twenty-first century as it was forty years ago. It elaborates how the AIDS epidemic is ravaging African countries, such as South Africa and Nigeria; spreading in parts of Asia, such as Thailand and the Philippines; in Eastern Europe in countries like Russia and Ukraine; and in Caribbean and Central American countries.
