  • Description: The process of democratization which appeared in the nineteenth century was partly responsible for the emergence of a mass readership. It consisted of the new urban population which had its own tastes and interests, intellectual capacity and purchasing power. The popular press was firmly established by 1900 and it radically altered the scope and style of daily journalism in its attempt to speak in the language of the majority. Philip Gibbs was one of the prominent journalists between 1900 and 1914. His aspiration to become a war correspondent stemmed from the image of the war correspondent as a figure of romance and adventure, the consequence of the militarist spirit of the age and the licence which granted him freedom of movement. Inevitably, the war correspondent carne in conflict with the military which had not kept pace with democratization and sensed a challenge to itself and to national security. Censorship and restrictions on the war correspondent tightened, until major army reforms between 1901 and 1912 brought more cordial relations between the press and the military. When the Great War broke out in 1914 the co-operative atmosphere broke down as censorship was reinstated, more severely than before. It challenged the freedom of the press and the right of the people to know. Gibbs was determined that the people should have access to news from the front. He fought hard for that objective and was instrumental in the compromise reached between the military and the press when an officially recognized system was devised for press representation on the Western Front. The wisdom of such a move was shown by the success of Philip Gibbs' war correspondence, which had appeal to a mass readership in its own language and with subjects of interest to it.

Samuel Palmer and Romanticism

  • Authors: Chapman, Anton

  • Description: This introduction and ensuing essay are something in the nature of a personal confession. Deemed as such what I have written concerning Samuel Palmer has not, in any way, been written as an exercise, but rather for the purpose of self-edification. This I will elaborate upon while disclosing my motive for writing on Palmer. Palmer's works - when I first saw them - were something of a revelation. They seemed the alpha and omega of my own artistic endeavour. Perhaps the term which best describes the euphoria I felt is 1deja vu1, because although it describes a connectedness of sorts, the words have in their sound an exotic ring. There is in it an implied equivocation - and equivocality best describes my understanding of Samuel Palmer at that juncture. This euphoria I felt dimmed with the realisation that by purportedly claiming, as I was, Samuel Palmer's visionary landscapes as my goal I was treading on sacred ground; I'd arrived, as it were, in another's Paradise. The effects of this upon my own creativity were completely negative. Worse still, I lacked the necessary means to extricate myself from Palmer's paradisiacal visions. His influence was incapacitating and convoluting my own growth. It was obvious then that I had to be rid of Samuel Palmer. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, Fine Art, 1985

Sex ratios of Coccophagus atratus compere (Hymenoptera:Aphelinidae) in relation to host availability

  • Authors: Donaldson, John Sydney
  • Date: 1985
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc
  • Identifier: vital:5632 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1004933
  • Description: The mode of sex determination in most Hymenoptera is that of arrhenotokous parthenogenesis, i.e. females originate from fertilised eggs and males develop parthenogenetically from unfertilised ones. Females can therefore determine the sex of each of their offspring by controlling fertilisation. This has led to much speculation about the factors that govern hymenopteran sex ratios. Many sex ratio theories predict that solitary Hymenoptera should produce male and female offspring in a ratio of 1:1. The limited data available on sex ratios in solitary Hymenoptera does not support this prediction. However, for various reasons, data may not be representative and few detailed studies have been done. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to examine sex ratios of Coccophagus atratus, a solitary hymenopteran parasitoid, to determine whether sex ratios in this species approach 1: 1. C. atratus is a suitable species for sex ratio studies because male and female eggs are deposited in different hosts. The sex of deposited eggs can, therefore, be determined at oviposition. This eliminates any possible effects of differential mortality. Laboratory experiments were designed to determine whether C. atratus females deposit male and female eggs in fixed proportions or in a set sequence. In addition, samples of hosts were collected from the field to assess C. atratus sex ratios under natural conditions. Results show that C. atratus females do not produce sex ratios that approach 1:1 and male and female eggs are not deposited in a set sequence. Sex ratios are variable and appear to be related to the relative abundance of hosts suitable for female development and for male development. These results are discussed in relation to current sex ratio theories.

  • Description: In sports, one might wish to test new ideas regarding player movement, tactics, or strategy without subjecting the athletes to possibly wasteful or even harmful habit formations. If a method of simulation of the athlete can be devised, experiments might reasonably be conducted to evaluate the ideas independently of actual training or trial in the field. Simulation of a complex system generally begins with a long period of analysis. During this time there may be mathematical and programming explorations and constructions to sharpen and examine different approaches. Meetings are usually held by the participants to try to define the task and explore alternatives. Ideas are amplified, possibly discarded as not feasible, or incorporated into the system package. Gradually there evolves a tighter and more acceptable formulation using logical and mathematical expressions (Preface, p. vii)

  • Description: Die doelstellings van onderwys in die primereskool maak o.a. voorsiening vir al die behoeftes van leerlinge. Om die doel te bereik is dit nood saaklik dat alle moontlike middele en dienste benut word. Skoolvoorligting maak 'n noodsaaklike deel uit van die spektrum van voorsiening. Skoolvoorligting is nie iets nuut wat van buite op die skool afgedruk word nie, maar vorm 'n integrale deel van gesonde onderwyspraktyk. Die gevaar bestaan dat skoolvoorligting sy invloed kan verloor ten koste van 'n meer a kademiesgerigte leerplan. In die lig hiervan is dit nodig om te bepaal wat die aard en doel van skoolvoorligting in die primereskool is (Introduction, p. 8)

Some aspects of the ecological structure of a segmented barrier lagoon system with particular reference to the distribution of fishes

  • Description: The Wilderness lakes system represents a segmented barrier lagoon and comprises three interconnected lakes; Rondevlei, Langvlei and Eilandvlei. The latter is further linked by the Serpentine channel to the Touw river and Wilderness lagoon. The role of these channels, as well as a sluice in the Serpentine, in structuring certain aspects of the ecology of the system was investigated. An analysis of the salt budget of the lakes suggests that the Serpentine dampens tidaI processes to such an extent that they play only a minor role in the overall budget. Furthermore, the channel between Eilandvlei and Langvlei prevents any tidal salt input to the upper lakes. Their estuarine environments are however maintained by salt inputs which occur when the mouth is closed. This unusual phenemenon means that the sluice may have a minimal effect on the salt budget of the system because it is only closed when the mouth of the lagoon is open. Environmental conditions in each of the lakes, the Touw river and Wilderness lagoon were compared in terms of their physico-chemical characteristics and submerged macrophyte communities. A principal components analysis suggests that the physico-chemical environment of each lake is similar. The Touw river however has a very different environment, whilst that of Wilderness lagoon has some similarities to both the lakes and the river. During the study macrophyte communities recovered from a major recession which occurred between 1979 and 1981 . Biomasses in excess of 1000g m⁻² were recorded in both Langvlei and Eilandvlei. In the latter however, macrophyte growth was less prolific than in the former, as some areas of the littoral supported no growth at all. Macrophyte encroachment in the channels is a major factor inhibiting water flow between the lakes. This encroachment is most severe in the Eilandvlei/Langvlei channel where macrophytes covered 80% of the channel's area.The dominant fish fauna throughout the system is composed of a marine/estuarine migratory component. In the lakes the Mugilidae and Sparidae are the most common families, whilst in the lagoon and Touw river predators such as Lichia amia and Argyrosomus hololepidotus also commonly occur. Eilandvlei serves as the initial nursery area for most migratory species. An estimated 52000 fish migrated up the Serpentine towards Eilandvlei during February 1984 . Most fish do not penetrate as far as Langvlei, and this can be related to macrophyte encroachment in the Eilandvlei/Langvlei channel. However, it is argued that should this channel be dredged and the macrophytes removed, the nursery potential of the system would not be greatly enhanced . This is because environmental heterogeneity, in association with an abundance of food in Eilandvlei, make this lake the most attractive nursery area to juvenile marine/estuarine fish.

Spenser's Colin Clout : an introductory study

  • Description: From introduction: In the sixth book of The Faerie Qveene, the reader is presented with a vision of the Graces and their attendants dancing on Mount Acidale to the piping of a simple shepherd. Spenser identifies this favoured musician as Colin Clout and then goes on to pose a seemingly inconsequential rhetorical question. "Who knowes not Colin Cloute?” he asks. The note of confident pride which can be discerned in the query clearly reveals Spenser's peculiar interest in one of his most intriguing creations. It is almost impossible to read a representative selection of Spenser's poetical works without noticing the hauntingly frequent appearances of his "Southerne shepheardes boye". Colin appears or is named in no fewer than six of Spenser's poems.
